“…This divergence in interpretation causes contradiction and conflict between organizations that implement halal product policies, so that policy implementation does not work. To see the differences in interpretation and response, this article uses a semiotic theoretical framework which shows "language stye" related to power relationships (Wareing, 2004).…”

The emergence of the issue of halal products, both in the form of food and services, has also led to competition regarding the certification of halal products. Studies on competition between certification bodies have been carried out, but these studies do not focus on the competition that occurs in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia which is a big market for the halal industry. In Indonesia, the implementation of the regulation of Halal Product Guarantee (HPG) in Law No. 33 2014 still raises problems, including the related issue of inter-organizational relations. This article discusses the relations between organizations based on the interpretation of each party related to the Halal Product Guarantee policy, and the consequences arising from it. This article used new institutional theory, and a semiotics approach as analysis of verbal signs and gestures raised by each of the parties. This article argued that the interpretations of each organizational actor towards the new halal certification policy in Indonesia are driven by different institutional reasons/logics, resulting in contradictions, even conflicts related to the relationship between organizations implementing the policy. The difference in meaning, especially in the connotative meaning, shows the difference in institutional logic. Thus, there is a divergence in meaning. Therefore, it is important to equate significance (meaning/interpretation) to each of the institutions related to Halal Product Guarantee in order to realize the implementation of the regulations properly.

“…Wareing (1999) explains that language is the combination of phonemes to form lexical items according to the syntactical rules of language we speak. Actually, language as a system is a notion introduced by Ferdinand de Saussure on dyadic tradition.…”

Human right is an old issue but it is really prominent to discuss in a modern democratic society. This issue should be the base of a democratic country. Therefore, it is not only people's duty but also the government's policy to pursue the human right and to form the democratic society. In 2008, the Australian prime minister issued the national apology. He wanted that all Australians to be honest at their history but this might be on the people's superficial consciousness. It should be elaborated in order to find the chief factor behind that act of apologizing. Therefore, this study tries to figure out the ideological construction behind the speech. This comprises the political ideologies constructed in the 2008 Australian National Apology Speech depicted by the speech textual analysis and the functions of the speech ideology in terms of cognitive and social functions. This study used a qualitative approach using critical discourse analysis. The findings reveal that in the 24 data indicating ideological expression, two types of ideological construction of personal cognition and social cognition are found. The personal cognition shapes the speaker's consciousness and expresses the ideas in the form of speech. There are 9 data which are indicated as personal cognition of which 67 % are the general personal cognition comprising personal values, personal ideologies, personal attitude, and personal knowledge. The other 33 % refers to the particular personal cognition in term of models. The other 15 data are constructed by the social cognition in the mind of the speaker. Those contain sociocultural values, systems of attitude, and sociocultural knowledge. In addition, 6 ideologies of democracy, democratic socialism, humanism, historicism, hegemony, and cultural universalism are also found.

“…Thunberg has a purpose in using language in the form of a speech as language serves as the place where the concepts of right and duty are created, the creator of power, and the location where power is performed (Wareing, 2004). She uses speech as a tool to influence the audience at the conference as she imposed her value, belief, way of thinking, and point of view.…”

Greta Thunberg delivered a speech entitled “You’re Acting Like Spoiled, Irresponsible Children” to influential figures in Europe through the “Civil Society for renaissance” event, in which she was personally invited by the president of the organizer, Luca Jahier. Through her speech, she managed to convince the European Union to pledge to spend billions of euros to combat the climate crisis. This study aims to discover how interpersonal metafunction is used in the speech and what functions are revealed through Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and Hallidayan Systemic Functional Grammar. The data, consisting of seventy-one independent clauses, were taken from Thunberg’s book which consists of her speech transcription, titled “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference”. The research discovers that through the use of mood, modality, and pronouns, Thunberg conveys her view on her relationship with the audience as victim and perpetrator, and the one who holds responsibility and takes the blame.
