Abstract

This article investigated the lingual unit on the posters carried by students during the demonstration at the House of Representatives (DPR) Building last September 2019. These posters became viral on social media because it contained allusions that were packaged in various forms. Some were packaged in the form of humor, vulgarity, and sarcasm. By using qualitative research methods, data sourced from social media were limited to the poster texts containing the word DPR. The analysis showed that the posters used negative connotation dictions respectively marked by using a negative analogy, degrading a dignity, scaring, mocking, and violating privacy space.
