Abstract


This study aims to investigate President Joko Widodo's ideological stance inside his political speech text. This study also identifies why Jokowi priorities Indonesia's people as the main concern in his program. Data were collected from the first official speech text of President Jokowi delivered on August 16, 2015. This paper combined Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), particularly the Appraisal System's judgmental analysis. The paper formed Judgement as a sub-type of the attitudinal classification rather than the other two, Affect and Appreciation. The Judgmental categories dominated by the sub-type of Capacity has exceeded other judgmental subtypes. Jokowi mostly evaluated Indonesia's people using the positive Capacity to show that the People of Indonesia the capable people to overcome their problems. The reason behind Indonesia's people's political inclination is that Jokowi is supported by the people-based political party, Struggle-Indonesian Democratic Party (PDIP).
