Abstract

Penelitian ini adalah sebuah kajian linguistik atas percakapan telepon dalam bahasa Indonesia pada kasus korupsi yang terjadi baru-baru ini, khususnya sebuah kasus penyuapan. Pendekatan linguistik pragmatis dan sistemik fungsional digunakan sebagai metode untuk mengungkapkan fakta-fakta yang ditemukan pada kasus penyuapan sebagai suatu jenis kasus hukum dalam studi Linguistik Forensik. Percakapan telepon dari dua jenis penyuapan dikumpulkan sebagai data penelitian ini. Data dianalisis secara semantis, pragmatis, dan sintaktis. Ditemukan bahwa para pelaku menggunakan beberapa kode tertentu untuk berkomunikasi. Mereka juga menggunakan cara tertentu untuk menyampaikan tindak tutur lokusi untuk mendapatkan ilokusi untuk mencapai efek perlokusi yang mereka inginkan. Banyak proses materi muncul pada transkrip percakapan telepon para pelaku (koruptor) yang menunjukkan tindakan yang mereka lakukan. Proses materi yang muncul dalam percakapan menunjukkan gejala bahwa permintaan langsung dilakukan oleh pihak yang lebih kuat kepada interlokutor untuk mempersiapkan bahan-bahan. Kata kunci : linguistik forensik, semantik, pragmatik, sintaksis, percakapan telepon, penyuapan This study applies linguistics to investigate telephone conversations on a recent corruption case, to be specific, a bribery, in Indonesia. A pragmatic and systemic functional Linguistic approach was used as the method to reveal the facts on a bribery as a type of legal case in forensic linguistic study. The telephone conversations on two different types of bribery were collected as the data of this research. The data were analyzed semantically, pragmatically, and syntactically. It was found that the perpetrators used some particular codes to communicate. They also used a certain way to convey locutions to get the illocution to achieve the effect of the perlocution they wanted. Many material processes appeared in the transcripts of the telephone conversations of the actors (corruptors) which show the actions performed by the actors. The material process that appears in the conversation suggests a direct request from the more powerful to prepare materials to the interlocutor. Keywords : forensic linguistic, semantics, pragmatics, syntax, telephone conversation, bribery
