Abstract

This article analyzes the report discourse submitted by the public on LAPOR! site. The analysis is directed at revealing the construction of the reporter's/community's perspective in viewing the people's-government relations. The construction of the perspective or ideology is reflected in the pattern of language use in the discourse of the report. Critical discourse analysis is used as a theory as well as a method for achieving that goal. Analysis shows that there is a shift in hierarchy in the psychological reality of the reporter. Reporting parties no longer see the government-people relations as patron-client.

The construction of the perspective or ideology is reflected in the pattern of language use in the discourse of the report. Critical discourse analysis is used as a theory as well as a method for achieving that goal. Analysis shows that there is a shift in hierarchy in the psychological reality of the reporter. Reporting parties no longer see the government-people relations as patron-client. The reporters actually show that they feel in a condition that they have the right to be served ideally by the government. However, the trauma of the potential coercive treatment of the government that has occurred in the past makes a demonstration of the reporter authority's only if it is in anonymity condition.
