4.1.2.9 Claim-Rebuttal
Prabowo was asked about his strategy and policy in the context of ekonomi kerakyatan
. Prabowo claimed
“Jadi kita tidak anti investasi asing silahkan masuk
ke Indonesia bawa uang” [we are not anti-foreign investment with their own money]. His claim is signed by the word ‘jadi’. It is a conclusion premise which
shows a conclusion being told. He argued about claim of fact. He did not provide ground and warrant in this segment because his claim is directly followed by
rebuttal in which he said “jangan masuk ke Indonesia pakai uang Indonesia itu bukan investasi asing namanya itu ya kan itu akan memakai pasar Indonesia
.”. Rebuttal has a function to state a condition where the claim may be argued by the
opponent. The claim has a weakness where Prabowo has not stated from where the money could be used by the foreign companies. It will be a point that will be
attacked by the opponent. Yet, he was aware of his claim’s weakness so he said
under a condition the money is their own money in rebuttal below.
Jadi kita tidak anti investasi asing. Silahkan masuk ke Indonesia
bawa uang. [
Therefore, we do not anti foreign investment. Come to Indonesia bringing money.]
Claim
Jangan masuk ke Indonesia pakai uang Indonesia. Itu bukan investasi asing namanya itu. Ya kan? Itu akan memakai pasar
Indonesia. [Do not come to Indonesia using Indonesia’s money. That is not
a foreign
investment, is it? It will use Indonesia’s markets.] Rebuttal

D2S4P 4.2 The Characteristics of Jokowi and Prabowo in Argumenting Based on
Toulmin’s Model 4.2.1 Claim
Jokowi’s claims and Prabowo’s claims are not only in the form of a single simple declarative statement, but also in the form of rhetorical question, repetition.
Therefore, their claims were quite long in the matters of quantity. In the debates, they were aware that they needed to give emphasis on their claim in order to make
the audiences believe or at least agree with their claims. Charteris-Black 2011:56
stated that rhetorical question and repetition show the essence of rhetorical force and those have an effect of persistence and obduracy that makes the arguments
sound right in the case of conviction.
