that are used to represent the notions of negative
. So, it is better if replaced ‘minus’ into the word ‘except’ that everybody will understand the meaning correctly.
Those are deletion or omission which is found in SBY’s speech. Overall, it is an additional form of nominal phrases in order to assert something which refers to
the context. The absence of that addition will not affect the meaning to be delivered. In fact there are still many criticism found on it. It shows that the speaker in this
case SBY still has a deficiency in the use of language, especially in the case of deletion or omission.
4.2.2.4 Insinuation
Insinuation is comments that are slyly suggestive. It typically has double meanings and if challenged, the writer or the speaker can claim innocence,
pretending to have only one of these two meanings in mind. In other words, insinuation has the ability to deny or deniability. The
following is the example which taken from the data: [20] I realize that for the last five years, police have frequently prevented and
stopped terrorism actions. Confiscating explosive materials, uncovering several terrorism networks, even though todays bombing has happened, a disaster that has
torn the security and reputation of our country and nation.
Denial appears in the sentences which SBY stated that the police had succeeded in overcoming terrorism but in fact the bombings still occur. It really will
not happen if the police do its job in eradicating terrorism optimally. Besides that, it should not only the police themselves who tried but also together with other
agencies in accordance with SBY‘s suggestive comments as shown in the following sentence which is located in the same paragraph with a quotation above:
[20] To prevent and exterminate terrorism, and other crimes properly, the intelligence [agency] must be very sharp. Prevention must be very effective. The
police, the intelligence agency, the armed forces must unite in a complete synergy. Negligence and ignorance must be discarded.
That statement is the prove that police work alone in preventing and stopping terrorism actions. They are not unite in a complete synergy with the intelligence
agency and the armed forces yet. That is why terrorism action like Jakarta bombing occurred once again. Besides that, the other SBY‘s suggestive comments which also
want to unite with the people as shown in the following sentence: [21] To all Indonesians, as you increase public alertness, stay at your work and live
your lives normally. If something suspicious happens, call the police. [22] For the future, I encourage all Indonesians and all elements of the nation to
unite and stand together in protecting the safety and peace of this country.
Those two SBY‘s suggestive comments is uttered because he realizes that government itself will not stop terrorism effectively. In the pieces of SBYs speech
above, they are considered have a characteristic of persuasive communication which aims to change or influence beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of someone, so they will
act according to the speaker expectation, in this case is invitation from SBY in order to realize the effort in protecting this country from terrorism.
To create that he should utters his speech more than that, those two above are not enough. SBYs should be more able to convince the public by express an
overview which explains that without the participation of the public, government
efforts alone will not enough, and with the help of the public that effort surely will be fulfilled.
