“…In the analysis of discourse patterns in news narratives, it is also critical to look into specific words' use and function [15]. This analysis could be guided by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which emphasizes language meaning-making capacity [16].…”

“…These excerpts in the news discourse specify an actor or participant or a subject with a carrier position. In general, since ideology does not only determine the textual organization of an event but rather extends its influences to syntactic items, the choice of descriptors to subjects with carrier position can signify the attitudes and hence the ideologies of the source [15]. Using these results as input to language pedagogy, the teaching of descriptors, adjectives, or modifiers should not simply be structural but rather functional and relevant.…”

The study investigated the discursive nature of reportage in the news presented in leading Philippine broadsheets and established how purposive linguistic choices lead to biases that shape ideology. CDA was used as the study's operational framework, while SFL guided textual analysis, specifically on the system of transitivity for analyzing process types. The evaluative language was analyzed using the Appraisal Theory. The research involved 585 news articles, mining 231,985 words to form the corpus. The analysis revealed that news reportage's discursive nature is non-conventional in terms of passive agent deletion in headlines and the strategic use of evaluative language to forward ideologies. The news discourse used the material process type often and for particular socio-political personalities. The news stories were also found to have visibility bias the most, while the use of evaluative language was a source of bias in the discourse. Together with the framework developed as the study's output, these results serve as inputs for innovations in language education, especially in courses in communication, genre-based linguistics, and media studies. These provide oppositional and/or fresh perspectives in language teaching in the new normal, where careful and appropriate use of language is key in forwarding critical information to the public.

“…The function of avoiding the subject is to respect personal honour as the realising harmony in life. Language is about politeness (Amri 2018;Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014;Huang 2018). Therefore, the Angkola language has philosophical and cultural entities to harmonise with humans.…”

This article aims at exploring the existing ideas of Angkola’s local wisdom with relevance to the roles of philosophy, culture, language, and Islam. This research employed the ethnographic method which utilised the data from figurative peoples in Angkola culture, Angkola’s cultural ceremonies, documents, and related media. The collected data were then reduced and analysed from philosophical, cultural, linguistic, and religious point of views to find the relevance. This research found that Dalihan Na Tolu covers triangle family members for Mora, Kahanggi, and Anak Boru. Dalihan Na Tolu consistently enhances humanity in harmony and it keeps warm in touch with the social profile. Angkola language has unique variations in the structure, coda sound, accent, and intonation to avoid saying subject as respect and the symbol of politeness. Dalihan Na Tolu creates and maintains norms in brotherhood and togetherness as an ingrained belief. The devotion poured in a sense of justice for triangle family members. The taste of brotherhood and togetherness is a fact that only humans have to think about expressing responsibility to unite humanity. The manifestation of Dalihan Na Tolu as a local, national, and perhaps international wisdom has faith, charity, and responsibility as the main point of view for humanity in harmony. The human faith in God has to be perfect with relevance for love, humanity and harmony. Charity humanises people. The responsibility unites humanity. Dalihan Na Tolu reflects many important values to learn from living in the society with particular philosophy, culture, langauge, and religion.Contribution: This research describe about roles of philosophy, culture, language, and Islam in Angkola’s local wisdom of “dalihan natolu” in South Tapanuli, Indonesia. This research contributes to providing a comprehensive understanding of how the values in the local wisdom “dalihan natolu” can create social harmonisation.
