“…One of the critics in discourse prosody is how intuitive and introspective its analysis method. To overcome this critic, the analysis must be done with larger data using a computational method like corpus (Alcaraz-Mármol & Almela, 2016;Channell, 1999;Fox, 1998;Hoey, 2005;Widdowson, 2000). Alcaraz-Mármol and Almela (2016) discussed that Sinclair (2003) had suggested discourse prosody must be investigated using corpusanalytic methods as it enables researchers to observe special meanings (which is not associated with dictionary but more towards preference and evaluation) of words that co-occur together.…”

Youtube is one of the most famous video-sharing and social networking platforms in the world. Due to its comment section function, Youtube also plays a role in describing the perception and reaction of the general public. This study aims to examine the discourse prosody found in the adjective suki and its co-occurrences. This is a mixed-method research where corpus linguistics is used for quantitative data analysis and, discourse prosody for the qualitative method. The Youtube comments chosen are five videos from Japan’s number one Youtuber, Hajimeshachoo in January 2020. Only the first 24 hours comments were picked. The findings show that the adjective suki is the most significant na-adjective used in the Youtube comments gathered. Na-adjective mainly co-occurred with an adverb that modified the adjective suki mostly to elevate the sense of likeness, adoration, or fondness of the content and/or creator of the video. The adjective suki can have both positive and negative discourse prosody depending on its co-occurrence.

“…Bringing two parties' rivalry on presidential and regional elections during 2017 to 2019 as an object, numbers of hoax news emerge in negative prosody centralized on the capital city of Indonesia and some from other big cities in Java Island. Started from critics on the toll road, system utilization to unravel the jam, and unstandardized/malfunctioning access & Almela, 2016). Issues used in discourse are pictured in the form of corruption, including bribing, prejudice toward a particular ethnic or group, and misplaced loss-making partnerships.…”

This research discussed Indonesian hoax on transportation, spread using chain messages over social media, a major hoax subject. Setting social structure as an element to consider in hoax discourse gave different perspectives on why hoax news took place. Contrasting identified online hoax discourse to corpus-derived prosody could be interpreted using a sociopragmatic approach by Lin and Chung (2016). This research tried to look at how discourse on hoax correlated to real social issues among Indonesian people. Digital forensic was done by tracking discourse used as data from hoax news collection on turnbackhoax.com during 2017-2019. Discourse was later generated into clusters of subject idea of ‘tilang’, ‘jalan tol’, public land transport and infrastructure, ‘kecelakaan pesawat’, ‘lowongan kerja’, ‘China’, insecurity toward government and ‘kecelakaan kapal’. The subject idea was later consulted to Indonesian Web Corpus (IWAC). Through the socio-pragmatic approach, prosody derived by contrasting process portrayed hoax on transportation as a reflection of unsolved current social problems among Indonesian community including distrust toward the government, unawareness on transport safety, law and regulation, economic status, and trend. The finding of this research is recommended to take action toward those problems to eliminate hoax spread in the transportation sector.

“…El sistema verbal del discurso en redes sociales suele dar mayor proyección si está basado en la aporofobia, entendida como ese rechazo a personas que, por su condición sexual, religiosa, étnica o de raza, cuentan con escasos recursos para su defensa. En este caso concreto la asesina se ha convertido en 'blanco fácil' de determinados comentarios escritos que han estado basados en la construcción de una representación mental del contenido del texto por medio de un sistema verbal fundamentado en la xenofobia (Alcaraz-Mármol & Soto Almela, 2016).…”
