This study aims to analyze the language style employed by President Prabowo Subianto in his speech delivered at the 17th National Farmers and Fishermen Week in 2026 using Teun A. Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis framework. The study employed a qualitative approach with documentation techniques applied to the official speech transcript. Data were analyzed through Van Dijk's three analytical dimensions, namely text, social cognition, and social context. The findings reveal that, at the textual level, the speech is dominated by themes of support for farmers and fishermen as strategic actors in national development and food security. At the superstructure level, the speech is organized argumentatively through personal experiences, policy explanations, and reaffirmation of governmental commitments. At the microstructure level, the speech demonstrates the use of informal language, rhetorical strategies, repetition, and lexical choices that strengthen the relationship between the speaker and the audience. In terms of social cognition, the findings indicate the speaker's awareness of the media's role in shaping public opinion, as reflected in several instances of meta-communication. Meanwhile, the social context dimension reveals representations of power relations through the construction of social groups positioned either as supporters or obstacles to national interests. These findings suggest that the speech functions not only as a means of political communication but also as a medium for constructing ideology, legitimizing power, and shaping political identity. This study reinforces the view that language plays a significant role in representing social realities and power relations within society.

A biography book is a written work that is compiled based on factual events about a person's life, but writers are often faced with the choice of how to represent the reality surrounding the characters they are telling. In the process of writing, a writer not only gathers facts, but also interprets and highlights certain aspects of the character's life. This can be seen through the way language is used, including standard markers, which reflect the author's attitude and position towards the facts raised. This research aims to analyze the author's attitude towards this reality, as reflected through the use of stationary markers in the biography of President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) by Greg Barton. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a content (text) analysis method. The source of research data is in the form of Gus Dur's biographical text which is analyzed by referring to five categories of standard markers, namely hedges, boosters, attitude markers, self-mentions, and engagement markers. Each category provides an overview of how the author conveys an argument, expresses an attitude, and builds a closeness with the reader. The results of the study show that the use of boosters dominates, which illustrates the author's firm attitude in emphasizing facts and assessments of Gus Dur. In addition, the word "like" is found 253 times and serves as a means of building common knowledge and creating an inclusive delivery style. This analysis also shows that Greg Barton tried to maintain a balance between scientific objectivity and personal closeness to the characters he wrote. This research has relevance in Indonesian language learning in high school, especially class X, because biographical texts are part of the teaching material. These findings can be used as evaluation and learning materials about the author's language style, as well as helping students hone critical reading skills and writing narrative discourse by understanding the meaning behind the language choices used.
