Ideology of Punk Ideology

Therefore, CDA called as interdisciplinary study. This study interlinked the way language is functioned in the social practices such as exercising power, organizing social institutions or constituting and transmitting knowledge Wodak and Meyer 2001, p.11. Talking about CDA is talking about examining the connection between discourse, power, dominance, and social inequality. CDA concern with power as it is the central condition in social life. The power exists, as there is the dominance of a particular person or group to the others in society. Wodak and Meyer 2001 explain, “Power is about relation of difference, and particularly about the effects of differences in social structures”. It means people in the high social structure tend to be powerful than the low social class. Indirectly, the power or power abuse which exist in the social practice arouse the condition of social inequality. In line with discourse, the distribution of power, the dominancy or the social inequality clearly entwined with the language. It does not naturally define that power derives from language, “but language can be used to challenge power, to subvert it, to alter distributions of power in short and long term” Wodak and Meyer, 2001. The powerfulness of language is not on the language itself but by how powerful one uses it. This statement indicates that the language user has ideology. In CDA, the ideology recognized as the core point to establish or maintain unequal power relation. As Paul 2005 defines that, a central component of the critical linguistic creed is the conviction that language reproduces ideology. Shortly, ideology mediates the power and the social practice through language PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI use. CDA regards language as a kind of social practice and an inseparable part of social construction among which ideology serves as indispensable part. Furthermore, the critical linguistics also assumes that as an integrated form of social behavior, language will inevitably and inextricably tied up with the socio- political context in which it functions Paul, 2005. The analysis of CDA hardly separated from the socio-political situations in which language produced. Relating to the research, the CDA is applicable as the study focuses on the discourse that contains power, ideology, and social inequality. This study sees the song lyrics as the discourse that contains the ideology of the powerful actor, Anti- Flag. Through the discourse, the speakers depict the socio-political situation about the social injustice as the effect of the superior’s powerful action or decision towards the inferior.

2.1.3 Systemic Functional Grammar

CDA as a concept of textual analysis needs to select a tool of analysis. Fairclough 1995 mentions that the tool has to be functional theory of language oriented to the question of how language structured to tackle its primary social functions. Systemic functional grammar which is proposed by Halliday is suitable to cooperate with the concept of CDA, as suggested by Halliday 1985 that it is able to work with the view of language as a social semiotic which incorporated an orientation to map relations between language texts and social structures and relations. He defines that functional grammar is conceptual framework on which it is based is a functional one rather than a formal one. It is functional in the sense PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI that it designed to account for how language is used. Everything that is written or spoken has shaped the system. Language has developed to fulfill human needs and it organized by functions to these needs. Functional grammar is purely ‘natural’ grammar that everything explains with reference to how language is used. Halliday developed a theory of the fundamental functions of language, in which he analyzed lexico-grammar into three broad metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual. Each of the three metafunctions is about a different aspect of the world, and is concerned with a different mode of meaning of clauses. The ideational metafunction is about the natural world in the broadest sense, including our own consciousness, and is concerned with clauses as representations. The interpersonal metafunction is about the social world, especially the relationship between speaker and hearer, and is concerned with clauses as exchanges. The textual metafunction is about the verbal world, especially the flow of information in a text, and is concerned with clauses as messages.

2.1.3.1 Ideational Function and Meaning

The ideational function is one of the metafunctions in SFG that concerns the processes, participants, and circumstances found in the clause. Halliday 2004 defines that the ideational function is the function that the speaker or writer embodies language in his experience of the phenomena of the real world. This function also includes the language user‘s experience of the internal world of his PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
