| Shrnutí: | This research aims to describe the use of active and passive construction in building meaning in news texts with the main topic of the Megathrust earthquake in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data taken from two news texts related to this issue. Analysis was carried out using Roger Fowler's (2013) theoretical framework. The research results show that active sentences are more dominant than passive sentences, reflecting a direct and firm language style to convey information clearly and urgently. Meanwhile, the passive voice, although used less frequently, is still relevant in certain contexts, especially to highlight the impact or results of an event without the pressure of the perpetrator's actions. |
