This research analyzed how discourse functioned as a tool of social control by revealing the relationship between language, ideology, and power. It examined how social and political contexts were reflected in the ways language was used to enact, confirm, legitimize, reproduce, or challenge power relations in Prabowo Subianto’s speech during the third presidential debate of the 2024 General Election. The debate addressed national issues such as defense, diplomacy, technology, and the global economy, and the speech was divided into seventeen segments. These segments were analyzed across three dimensions of discourse microstructural, mesostructural, and macrostructural to identify patterns of power relations. The study found five main functions of power relations, with instances of enactment (47), confirmation (29), legitimization (94), reproduction (10), and challenge (47). The findings showed that political discourse functioned not merely as communication but as a strategic tool to shape public opinion and reinforce socio-political structures. Prabowo Subianto’s speech emphasized nationalism and his connection with the people to strengthen social solidarity and national identity while maintaining existing hierarchies. His discourse asserted political authority and projected an image of competence and decisiveness. Overall, the analysis demonstrated how social and political contexts shape linguistic choices and how these choices contribute to the reproduction and occasional contestation of dominant power dynamics during the election.
