CHAPTER IV FINDING AND ANALYSIS
Behind a word, sometimes there is an implicit meaning that should be found out for finding the comprehend truth. Presupposing meaning is also not only
occurring in a direct conversation or utterance, it is also needed for the written text. For this thesis, the writer is analyzing the presupposition in some selected utterances
taken from Kick Andy talk show. Here are the themes that are analyzed:
4. 1 Caricature of Politics
The first of them on Kick Andy that should be analyzed is Caricature of Politics. In Kick Andy’s show entitled Caricature of Politics, there are some
caricaturists invited as the speakers for discussing this theme. In this theme, the writer has found some utterance especially the utterance that has the implicit
meaning or the utterance that can cause misunderstanding in a conversation which need to be found out its actual meaning. Here are the presuppositions:
“Nah, sejak itu saya yakin harus selalu bikin yang jelek. Page 54 “Since that, I sure I have to make it ugly.”
Here is said by Priyanto, one of the speakers for this theme. He is a caricaturist and well known as the caricaturist that has high concern of situation and
condition that are on happening. Here are the analyses of the presuppositions:
Type :
Lexical presupposition The type of the utterance above is the lexical because this is the assumption
that in using in one word, the speaker can act as if another meaning word will be understood.

Comprehend Truth :
1. Priyanto is caricaturist that always makes the ugly caricature.
2. Priyanto has the reason why he makes his caricature ugly.
Here can be stated because in that conversation, Priyanto’s friends in Tempo’s magazines saying that the pretty characters are only for advertisement
consumption. By hearing that statement, Priyanto chooses that his caricature style must be ugly characters. That statement is also has presupposition that Priyanto
caricature is not about advertisement consumption. In fact, his caricature is always identical with the critic of politic social.
Since Priyanto has many caricatures in media, there is also a case where people being pro and contra with his caricature. But he seems have no problem with
it. Here is what he says that also has the comprehend truth to presuppose: “Yang satu bilang menghina, yang lain mengatakan, ‘Nah, itulah fitrah
manusia, makanan harus memilih’. Saya tidak perlu menjawab, biarkan pembaca bertengkar sendiri.”Page 55
“Some people say it does humiliate, the others say, ‘Look, this is the original character of human. Food must choose’. I do not need to answer it, let the
reader having quarrel by themselves.”
Type
: Factive Presupposition and Lexical Presupposition
The first sentence is the factive presuppostion because the information following a verb like ‘know’ can be tread as a fact. From the utterance, he knows that
there is the pro and contra about his caricature. The next sentence is lexical presupposition because this is the assumption that in using in one word, the speaker
can act as if another meaning word will be understood. In this utterance, he doesn’t
give any comment about his caricature as if his opinion will be understood. Comprehend Truth :
1. There are people who humiliate with caricature.
Universitas Sumatera Utara
2. There are people who agree with his caricature.
3. There is a contravention of people’s opinion about his caricature. Here is
the reason why there is the first and second comprehend truth above. 4.
There are some people who saying that his caricature is showing the truth about human being.
5. Priyanto thinks he does not need to give the answer of the contravention
about his caricature. 6.
People can have a quarrel with other people only because of having different opinion of something.
In introducing his way in caricature, Priyanto also has his own style. Here is how Priyanto describes his way in being caricaturist:
“Menjadi seorang karikaturis adalah jalan hidup saya yang tak akan mati.” Page 56
“Being the caricaturist is my way of life that will never die.”
Type
: Factive Presupposition
The type of the utterance above is the factive presupposition because the information following a verb like ‘know’ can be tread as a fact and the others triggers
of the factive presupposition contain of the ‘realized that’. The utterance can be
understood being the Priyanto realizes that his choice is being the caricaturist. Comprehend Truth :
1. Priyanto will always be caricaturist for his whole life.
2. Although Priyanto may have different jobcareer, being caricaturist is
always in his life. 3.
Priyanto loves caricature very much. Another presupposition that found in this theme is when Butet Kartaredjasa
comment the way Oom Pasikom’s dressed:
Universitas Sumatera Utara
“Ya, inilah, memaksakan diri pengin jadi orang kaya, tapi tetap memamerkan kemiskinan.”Page 56
“Yeah, here is it, forcing ourselves to be the rich people but keep showing the proverty.”
Type
: Lexical Presupposition
The type of the utterance above is the lexical because this is the assumption that in using in one word, the speaker can act as if another meaning word will be
understood.
Comprehend Truth :
Oom Pasikom is well known with his coat that has patch. The statement above gives people some ideas to suppose. Here are the comprehend truth:
1. Coat is identical as the clothes for rich people.
2. A patch is identical as the clothes for the poor people.
3. People look at someone else by the way they are dressed.
4. Oom Pasikom has his own style.
This is probably because Oom Pasikom, who is a caricaturist that also criticizes the social by his caricature, uses his style of dressing as critic of social,
“That’s how the society looks like.” This is because Indonesia is well known as the rich country, but there is much poverty among its citizens.
Those samples above may easily be understood by people. But there are many words that are related to general understanding of people in one area and only
understood by that area. For that case, people have to find the correct presuppositions or it can give the misunderstanding. Here is the sample found in Kick Andy talk
show: “Dwi Koen muntah.”Page 62
“Dwi Koen is vomit.” Type
: Lexical Presupposition
Universitas Sumatera Utara
The type of the utterance above is the lexical because this is the assumption that in using in one word, the speaker can act as if another meaning word will be
understood. Comprehend Truth :
Literally, it means that Dwi Koen is vomit. It may because of she eats something which is rejected by her body or other medical reasons. But here, the
comprehend truth of that statements is something related of general understanding of people’s habit. In Indonesia, vomit can be understood as the real vomit and can be
understood as allegory. According to the allegory of Indonesian’s point of view, vomit can also say by people who see something continuously and mostly they are
bored for seeing it again and again. As a ratio, in Indonesia, someone can say “I want to vomit” if heshe sees or hears something repeatedly. It is not really connected with
stomach, but other people can understand it well. In this case, the journalist of culture who saying those words uses that
statement as allegory for showing how much Dwi Koen’s caricature on media, so people can see it again and again. This allegory also has a ‘feeling’ for the reader. If
someone likes the way Dwi Koen makes caricature, heshe can assume the word vomit as positively, but if someone does not like the way Dwi Koen makes
caricature, heshe can assume it negatively. By understanding the literal meaning and the allegory meaning, here are the
comprehend truth of that statement: 1.
Dwi Koen is really vomit. 2.
Dwi Koen has many caricatures that are widespread on media.

The first truth is as literal meaning and the second is the allegory meaning. Once people misunderstanding, they will get the meaning of that statement that very
far of the correct meaning. Here is also found another presupposition connected with general
understanding of people: “Iya. Ini masih lama sebelum ramai-ramai berita korupsi di DPR. Tapi, saya
masih coba-coba bikin karena ada kabar-kabar tidak terlalu ‘open’. Ternyata, di belakang SBY sendiri banyak tikusnya.”Page 62
Yes. Here is still old before there are many news about corruption in DPR. But, I am still trying to make it because there are issues which are not
opened. In fact, there are also many rats in SBY’s backside.”
Type :
Lexical Presupposition The type of the utterance above is the lexical because this is the assumption
that in using in one word, the speaker can act as if another meaning word will be
understood. Comprehend Truth :
The words that are interesting to be underlined is the rats on “there are many rats in SBY”s backside because in this sample, rats is also an allegory which refers
something else. Literally, rat refers to an animal. But, considering who is the subject in that statement, for this sample is SBY, rats should be translated in political way
because SBY, as the president of Indonesia for period 2004-2014, is exist in politics. In politics, rat means corruptor. So, by analyzing the subject and what the word
refers to, people can assume some comprehend truth: 1.
There are many corruptors on SBY’s sides. 2.
Since SBY is the president, it can assume that ‘there are many corruptors in the government,’ because in Indonesia, the president who win the
Universitas Sumatera Utara
biggest vote in general election also mean many of his people also win the general election to take them to the ruling chair in government.
3. The government hides the case of corruption of being broadcasted to the
public. Meanwhile, if someone is misunderstanding to presuppose that word, heshe
can assume that SBY is a breeder of rats as the comprehend truth.
