Abstract : Language usage in social transaction has ideological motives for instilling its influence to achieve its dominance. The social transactions language forms a discourse text that is produced as a result of an ideological battle called domination. Therefore, an asymmetric relationship is formed between dominant and dominated party. There is a possibility of the dominance practice realized through language by dominant party who has power over the dominated party. The practice of symbolic domination can occur due to factors of acceptance and recognition of dominated party as a form of legitimacy towards the language of the dominant party. It is to follow and consciously implement views and values that have been instilled by the dominant party. According to “Kike Wadatsumi no Koe” book, many language forms represent the practice of symbolic domination experienced by pilots who perpetrated the kamikaze attack as dominated party. The symbolic domination practice can be revealed through language forms used by pilots as writers interpreting their death passed through the path of kamikaze attacks. The death interpretation is one of the author’s attempts to transform ideological beliefs that have formed his soul structure. There are nine types of death meanings representing symbolic domination practice in that book.
