This is a critical discourse study that tried to reveals repetition phenomena in political language. We conducted the study by examining the language of Soekarno, as an Asian politician, as well as a nation founder and the first president of Indonesia, where this study was conducted on. Data were gained by documentation method, and be analyzed by applying Critical Discourse Analysis theory that proposed by Fairclough. We found that repetition as a language style used by Indonesian politician, in this case, Soekarno, was meant for the rhetorical device and as an ideology vehicle device.
