Representation is a strategy that journalists employ to present events in news
items. Language expresses social functions and meanings in situational and cultural
contexts in society. This study employed phenomenology. The data sources were daily
newspapers Kompas, Jawa Pos, and Surya, which were randomly selected. The data were
collected through focused observations, theoretical and logical triangulations, and
snowballing. The researcher was the main instrument, equipped with a data codification,
descriptive analysis guideline, explanatory analysis guideline, and data corpus table. The
data were analyzed by using the descriptive and critical discourse analyses. The analysis
was interactive, involving reduction, display, and inference drawing (verification). The
study shows the following findings. (1) Vocabulary representation consists of association
and metaphor. (2) Grammar representation consists of process and participation. (3)
Representation of clause combination or local coherence consists of elaboration,
additional extension, contrast extension, optional extension, and heightening extension.
