Abstract

The political dicourse analysis is always eye-catching and attractive topic for the online media with different approaches, one of which is metonymic analysis. This study is intended to elaborate what Kompas and Republika on-line news presented dealing with a military coup trial in Turkey on 16th July 2016. This paper uses a cognitive approach that sees meaning as the concepts included in the human mind where cognitive semantic is based on the relationship of reason with the experience and culture. This approach uses language as the main tool to reveal mapping and structure. The results showed that 22 metonymies with 6 different metonymic types were stated in both Kompas and Republika; Institution for Person metonymy were stated 3 times in Kompas and 5 times in Republika, Person for Institution metonymy and Position for Incumbent metonymy each was mentioned once in Kompas and twice in Republika, Means for Product metonymy was found twice in Kompas and once in Republika, Level for Person metonymy was stated one in Kompas and not found in Republika, meanwhile General for Specific metonymy was mentioned 3 times in Kompas and once in Republika.
