Abstract:

 This study aims to explore Joko Widodo’s political communication strategy through political diction and strategic grammar. At this point, language is a tool that is full of political interests to gain and maintain power. With a critical paradigm in a qualitative approach, the data are the text of President Joko Widodo’s state speeches in the 2019-2023 period. Data analysis was performed using Fowler’s version of CDA (critical discourse analysis). In the end, the results show that the hidden meanings of using political diction in President Joko Widodo’s speech include embracing political opponents, gathering support, responding to demands, boosting image, growing optimism, and issuing warnings. Apart from that, Joko Widodo in his State of the Union speech also makes use of grammar strategically to highlight positive things or successes by packing them into active sentences and disguising (covering) negative things or failures by packing them into passive sentences.
