The expanding use of the word halal in Indonesian has become a prominent phenomenon. Despite this development, empirical diachronic studies that systematically examine the evolution of the word halal in Indonesian public discourse remain limited.

Moreover, (2) What topics were discussed in relation to the use of the word halal during this period? Adopting a corpus-based approach, this study utilises the corpus analysis tool Sketch Engine to examine a corpus of 1,132 news articles on halal published by Republika.co.id between 2010 and 2022.
