Abstract

Semantics is a branch of linguistics that studies a meaning in a language such as lexical or word meanings and structural meanings such as the meanings of declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences used in a text to deliver messages for effective written communication. This study aims (1) to explain the type of meanings contained in the Regulation of the Governor of South Sulawesi No. 22, 2020 and Makassar Mayor No. 36 of 2020, (2) describe the objectives that speakers want to convey contained in the Regulation of the Governor of South Sulawesi No. 22 of 2020 and Makassar Mayor No. 36 of 2020 following the context, and (3) explain the meaning of the legal language in both regulations. The benefits obtained from this research are to know and implement the effectiveness of meanings of the legal language implied in the two regulations by the public. This can be traced through the spread of pandemic covid-19 that can be obtained through the website of the Task Force handling Covid-19 in South Sulawesi province and through supporting information in social media. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive analysis. The data are words, phrases, and sentences taken purposively from the text of The Regulations of Governor of South Sulawesi No. 22 of 2020 and Makassar Mayor No.36 of 2020, as well as social media using the saturated technique, note-taking technique, and recording technique. The data are analysed using descriptive analysis. The results show that the legal language presented in the Regulation of the Governor of South Sulawesi No. 22 of 2020 and The Makassar Mayor No. 36 of 2020 on the prevention of Covid-19 in the form of affirmative and imperative sentences (directive) as an effort to suppress the spread of covid-19 in Indonesia.
