This research adapted methods used by Sidnell in detailing aspects of interpretation choice with regard to discourse type, informants, and data transcription procedures. Recordings of the discourse on Wacana Sinar with the title “Plan for National Young Leaders/Pelan Pemimpin Muda Untuk Negara” are used. The interview involved a moderator and three panel members from the government and the opposition parties. In the process of developing interpretation for the discourse particle ‘lah’, knowledge of Arabic<em> Balāghah</em> is adapted to its use in Malay. Based on this knowledge, specifically on knowledge of <em>al-ma’ānī</em>, analysis to build the discourse interpretation of the particle ‘lah’ is focused on the form of spoken speech (<em>khabarī</em>), aspects of the structure of speech (<em>isnād</em>) and aspects of language style (<em>uslūb</em>). The result of this study indicated two interpretations of the discourse particle ‘lah’. One is indicative of the speech structure used (<em>isnād</em>). Apart from that, twelve other interpretations of the discourse particle ‘lah’ are based on aspects of language style (<em>uslūb</em>). This cross-language study is expected to increase knowledge of the elements of Arabic, which in turn enables it to re-dignify the Malay language.</p>}, number={1}, journal={al-Irsyad: Journal of Islamic and Contemporary Issues}, author={Ismail, Mohd Sufian and Sarudin, Anida and Che Mat, Azman}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={865–878} }
