it is a form of language in used. Through the use of language, it creates the idea about power and its ideology. In order to examine the use of language and ask why
it has been used that way and what the implications are of this kind of use on speech, the researcher conducted an analytical framework for studying connections
among language, power, and ideology which is called critical discourse analysis. Critical Discourse Analysis CDA is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of
discourse that views language as a form of social practice and focuses on the ways social and political domination are reproduced by text and talk.
Using critical discourse analysis in president’s speech, the researcher attempted to elucidate not only the language, power, and ideology of the speech
itself but also from the speaker, the President himself. Thus, language, power and ideology can be seen from its use to the social problem which is going on at that
time and to the social power which is trying to influence the ideology of the community to become closer to something that is desired by the speaker.
1.2 Statements of the Problem
Based on some reasons explained in the background of the study above and to make this research easier to solve, the researcher studies the particular problems as
stated below: 1. What language is used by SBY in his speech about the Jakarta Bombings?
2. What power is used by SBY in his speech about the Jakarta Bombings? 3. What ideology is used by SBY in his speech about the Jakarta Bombings?
1.3 Scope of the Study
The scope of the study in this research is divided into two parts, first part is delimitation and the second one is proposed study.
Delimitation here means the subject as the data that the researcher used in this research. This research focuses on discovering what the language, power, and
ideology are used by SBY in his speech about the Jakarta Bombings on July 17, 2009? Thus, the subject here is the President SBY’s speech about the bombings
happened in Jakarta. Actually the speech is uttered using Bahasa and in a form of video, but since the data must be in English form, then the researcher tries to find
that speech in English version. At last, it is found in a mass media on the internet named The Jakarta Globe but in the form of written text. It is the English
transcription of SBYs speech about the Jakarta bombings that is posted in there. So that is what was used as the main data in this research, whereas the video is used as
the corroboration that transcription is the same with the original. Proposed study here means the book as underlying theories that the researcher
used. In conducting this research, the researcher uses a book entitled Functional Approaches to Written Text: Classroom Aplications 1997: 78-92 which the theory
of Critical Discourse Analysis and its analysis methods are represented by Thomas N.Huckin.
1.4 Objectives of the Study
A research should have an objective to be achieved through its research. The objective here is as the answer of the particular questions in
statement of the problem. In here, there are three objectives to be achieved in this research. They are stated as follows:
1. To describe the language of SBY’s speech that is used about the Jakarta bombings.
2. To describe the power of SBY’s speech that is used about the Jakarta bombings 3. To describe the ideology of SBY’s speech that is used about the Jakarta
bombings.
