Bukti Bahasa Pada Polemik Puisi Sukmati Soekarno Poetri Serta Hubungannya Dengan Kasus Ahok Untuk Tujuan Penegakan Hukum

Abstract

This research aims to analyze linguistic evidence in the controversy surrounding Sukmawati Soekarnoputri’s poem Ibu Indonesia and its relation to the legal case of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), with the ultimate goal of examining the role of language in law enforcement. The study identifies linguistic elements in Sukmawati’s poem that potentially violate legal and social norms, focusing on syntactic constructions, semantic choices, and discourse strategies. These findings are then compared with Ahok’s speech in the Thousand Islands to explore similarities and differences in their linguistic structures, social contexts, and legal implications. Drawing on Mahsun’s methodological framework of forensic linguistics, the research highlights how language functions not only as a medium of communication but also as forensic evidence. The study concludes that both cases illustrate the complex relationship between language, religion, politics, and law in Indonesia, where verbal expressions in public settings can generate significant legal consequences.
