Abstract

This research describes the lexical density in the controversial articles from the UU Cipta Kerja. This study used a qualitative approach by adopting the notion of Halliday’s lexical density method. The results of the analysis show that controversial articles which are contained in Chapter IV concerning Employment in the UU Cipta Kerja have a very high lexical density index, namely 10,81. The high lexical density index contained in these articles indicates the high formality of the text so that there is a tendency for readers to be difficult to understand, especially for the laypeople. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the legal language to improve the reader’s understanding in order to realize obedience and legal order as a whole.
