occurrence, and people are exposed to it wherever they go. It has attracted a lot of
people's attention and interest in numerous societies all over the world. Advertising
is referred to as a form of discourse in the sense that it has influenced not only the
structure of language and the modality of lifestyle, but also the content of routine

certain discursive events and the situations, institutions, and social structures that
shape them.
According to Van Dijk, discourse has several levels. The first is the theme
which is the central issue of a text. The theme that describes the general topic of the
text is called the macro structure. The second is the superstructure, namely the
framework of a text, such as the introduction, content, closing and conclusion. The
point is how a text is structured. The last part is the microstructure, which is the
meaning of the text that can be understood from the words, sentences, and styles
used in the related text. The Van Dijk model of text analysis approach is based on
the assumption that the text has no meaning, meaning is given by the language

processes needs to be done for two reasons. First, understand the text, how the
representation of the text. Second, the use of language, in this case the advertiser
elements show an overview of a tourism advertisement text. It is also called the main
idea, summary, or main idea of a text. Advertisement text also has a scheme or flow
from the introduction to the end. How the parts of the text are arranged and ordered
but a coherent general view. Van Dijk called it Global Coherence, which is part of the

as a socially shared belief system. This certainly refers to the existence of collective

especially in Van Dijk Theory. Some of the research findings are presented in the
following section.
Christo Rico Lada, (Jurnal E-Komunikasi, 2014). This research raises the theme of
Ballada Perda in the midst of news about controversial local regulations. The
purpose of this study is to see the discourse that is built in the episode. The
discourse analysis technique used is the critical discourse analysis of the Teun van
Dijk model which combines text analysis, social cognition, and context. The
researcher found that the discourse built by Mata Najwa confirmed the view that the
regional regulation after regional autonomy invited pro and contra in society, besides
the Mata Najwa Ballada Perda program was influenced by the economic interests of

2. Characteristics of Critical Discourse Analysis
to the use of language, to see the inequality of power that occurs in society.
Fairclough and Wodak explain that critical discourse analysis investigates how
through language existing social groups fight each other and propose their
respective versions (Eriyanto, 2001: 7-14). Critical discourse analysis considers the
discourse analysis, discourse is not only understood from its language, but also
relates it to action. Critical discourse analysis examines how through language the
existing social groups propose their respective versions. The aspect studied in
critical discourse analysis is the central aspect through the ideological language
absorbed in it. In critical discourse analysis using text to be analyzed, but not only
from the linguistic aspect, but also connecting from the context
namely action, context, history, power, and ideology (van Djik, Fairclough, Wodak,

and analyzed in a particular context. That discourse analysis also assesses the
what conditions and types of society; through what medium; how different types
of communication develop, and how they relate to one another. (Guy Cook,
1994) mentions that there are three things that are central to the meaning of
discourse: text, context, and discourse. Text is all forms of language, not only
music, pictures, sound effects, images and so on. Context includes all situations
and things that are outside the text and affect the use of language, such as
participants in language, the situation in which the text is produced, its intended
function, and so on. Discourse here is then interpreted as text and context
together. The focus of discourse analysis is to describe text and context together
general, but also specific descriptions of the culture that is brought about.
15
Critical Discourse Analysis also examines the context of the communication;
who consumes, with whom, and why; in what type of audience and under what
development, and how the relationship between each party (Guy Cook, 1994: 1).
Language in this case is understood in the context as a whole. There are three
central in the sense of discourse; text, context, and discourse. Text is all forms of
language, not just printed words, but all kinds of communication expressions,
speech, music, pictures, sound effects, images, and so on. Context, includes all
situations and things that are outside, and affect the use of language, such as
participants in language, the situation in which the text is produced, its intended
function, and so on. Discourse is interpreted as text and context together. The focus

they affect the production of discourse; first, the discourse participants, whose

e. Ideology
In this case, discourse is not understood as something neutral and takes place
naturally. In every discourse there is always an ideology to dominate and fight for
influence. Therefore, discourse analysis cannot place language behind closed doors,
but must look at the context, especially how the ideologies of the existing groups
play a role in shaping discourse. In a news text, for example, it can be analyzed

groups were presented. Van Dijk focuses his attention on issues of ethnicity,
racism, and refugees. Van Dijk's approach is called social cognition because van
Discourse is seen not only from its structure, but also includes the production
process. This process involves a process called social cognition. From text
analysis, for example, it can be seen that discourse tends to marginalize minority
groups in public discourse. According to van Dijk, this kind of discourse only
grows in the cognition atmosphere of the text makers who have the view that

4. Critical Discourse Analysis Model
introduced by a number of authorities, the van Dijk model is the most widely used
model. This is probably because van Dijk elaborates the elements of discourse
so that they can be utilized and used practically. Van Dijk's model is often
based on text analysis alone, because text is only the result of a production
practice that must also be observed. In this case, it must be seen how a text is
produced, in order to obtain a knowledge of why the text can be like that. If there
is a need for a text that marginalizes women, then the quality of the research will
look at how the production of the text works, why the text marginalizes women.
This production process and approach is very typical of van Dijk, which involves
a process known as social cognition. This term was adopted from the field
forming a text. Van Dijk elaborates the discourse elements so that they can be
adopted from the term social psychology approach to find out the process of

In addition, van Dijk's model also looks at the social structure, dominance,
and power groups that exist in society and the way cognition or thought and
described as having three dimensions, namely: text, social cognition, and social
building. The first dimension is text, about how the structure of the text and
dimension is social cognition, which studies the production process of news texts
as social context, which studies the discourse building that develops in society.
Discourse analysis according to Van Dijk is carried out at three levels. First
the text level. Second, the level of text production, how the text is produced. Van Dijk
22
explains the process of forming the text from the mental or cognition of the text
maker. Third, social analysis. How is the social context of the formation of the text.
a. Text
Van Dijk sees text as consisting of several elements and levels, all of which
are interrelated and support each other. In the text dimension, what is being studied
is the structure of the text. Teun van Dijk utilizes and takes linguistic analysis of
According to Jufri (2006:75), van Dijk sees a text as consisting of several mutually
supporting structures. The structure is divided into three levels, (1) Macro Structure,
this structure is the global meaning of a text that can be observed by looking at a
topic or theme, (2) super structure which is a discourse structure related to the text,
such as: introduction, content , and the end of a discourse, (3) Micro structure, micro
structure is the meaning of discourse that can be observed from small parts of a text,

through news. This approach is called social cognition because despite belief,

(socially shared). All perception and action, and ultimately the production and
view, social cognition is primarily associated with the production of texts. According
to van Dijk, the key point in understanding text production is to examine the process
cognition. This means that different people may have different views on a focus.
c. Social Context
The third dimension of van Dijk's analysis is social analysis. Discourse is part
and constructed in society. In analyzing this society, there are two important points:
power and access. Power is control exercised by a certain group or group over
another group or group, either openly or privately. Access is a control method carried
out by certain groups (elite) who have the power to control and influence the

5. Ideology
Classical theories about ideology, among others, say that ideology is built by
dominant groups with the aim of producing and legitimizing their domination. One of
the main strategies is to create awareness to the public that domination is taken for
26
granted. Discourse in this kind of approach is seen as a medium through which the
dominant group persuades and consumes to the audience the production of power
In this critical view, ideology is a central trait in critical discourse analysis because
the text is a reflection of a certain ideology. Ideology is built by the dominant group
with the aim of producing. The role of discourse in the ideological framework is first,
groups and communities. Therefore, discourse analysis must look at the context,
especially how the ideology of the groups that play a role in shaping the discourse
deals with social processes and social and cultural structures, which are inherent in
the nature of linguistics. This approach does not deal with language exclusively.

study the effects of any aspect of society on the way language is used in
