Discourse Analysis Model Teun Van Dijk

According to Van Dijk, research discourse analysis is not enough just based on text analysis alone, because the text is only the result of a production practice. Understanding text production will eventually acquire knowledge why the text is so. Van Dijk also see how the social structure, dominance, and power groups in society and how cognition / thought and consciousness that shape and influence the particular texts.

In the Suharto regime such consolidation of power is done through language in several ways. First, refining concepts and understanding bersentuan with power. This refinement to eliminate harmful concept of the New Order. Correctional said the service period, unity and integrity, national defense, food insecurity, underdeveloped areas, poverty reduction, rule of law, etc. Food insecurity is better than starving and better service period of tenure. Secondly, coarsen, aims to corner the other forces that can threaten power. Pemroduksian words SARA, GPK, subfersif, clean themselves, extreme right, extreme left, frustrated group, OTB (organization Formless), anti-Pancasila.

The words have a negative impact on the opposition. Third, the creation of words that could put the brakes and lowering people's emotions. These words are often taken from the lexicon of the Java language, for example mendhem jero mikul vertex, jer basuki mawa duty, resigned Keprabon and to those words that reference is not clear just as the public interest, to tighten their belts, etc. Fourth, uniformity term. This is done by officials and bureaucrats, for example SDSB not gambling, vandals blood halal, anybody can set up a new party, etc. Fifth, euphemism language. The use of the phrase "Involvement 7 Kopassus officers was a bitter pill" debt is replaced with foreign aid, prostitutes replaced with commercial sex workers, prison into prisons, and so on.

Discourse is described by Van Dijk has three dimensions / building in which the text, social cognition, and social context. Van Dijk core model analysis is to combine three-dimensional discourse in a single analysis. Dimension text studied is how the structure of text and discourse strategies used to emphasize a particular theme. At the level of social cognition studied news text production process involving individual cognition of journalists. While aspects of the context of studying the building discourse that developed in the community will be a problem. Analysis van Dijk connect textual analysis towards a comprehensive analysis of how the text is produced, either in conjunction with individual reporters and the public.
