DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN PSYCHOLINGUISTIC STUDIES: HOW LANGUAGE AFFECTS COGNITION


Abstract
This study analyzes the discourse of the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia's speech in the MPR Plenary Session, delivered during the inauguration of the President and Vice President for the 2024-2029 period. The focus is on understanding the meaning, structure, and political messages conveyed in the speech and how they shape political narratives, national identity, and government policies. Using NVivo 12 software, the research identifies key themes such as "Economic Development," "Social Policy," "National Resilience," and "Eradication of Corruption." The analysis reveals how language constructs political narratives that promote unity, social justice, and inclusive development. Through psycholinguistic analysis, the study highlights how linguistic choices affect audience perception and understanding of the political message. The findings emphasize the role of language in shaping social and political views, providing insights into how discourse influences the public's response to social and economic policies.
