Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic construction of authority, commitment, and cultural legitimacy in the coronation address of Pakubuwono XIV delivered during the Jumenengan ceremony at the Surakarta Palace. While speech act studies have widely explored political speeches, institutional communication, and public rhetoric, contemporary royal discourse in Indonesia remains underexplored, particularly within Javanese sociocultural settings. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this study analyzes the official speech text as a form of ceremonial-institutional discourse. Data were examined through Speech Act Theory, supported by politeness theory and cultural pragmatics frameworks. The findings reveal that declarative, commissive, and directive acts dominate the address. Declarative acts function to formally enact kingship and legitimize institutional authority. Commissive acts articulate commitments to religion, palace governance, public welfare, and national loyalty. Directive acts guide palace members and the wider public through culturally mitigated forms consistent with Javanese norms of harmony and respect. Expressive acts occur less frequently and primarily communicate ethical stance rather than personal emotion. The study demonstrates that royal discourse continues to operate as a strategic communicative resource for negotiating continuity between traditional kingship and modern statehood. Theoretically, this article extends speech act scholarship into a non-Western ceremonial context. Practically, it contributes to understanding leadership communication in culturally rooted institutions undergoing sociopolitical transition.

Abstract

This study investigates the cultural pragmatics of politeness through the integration of Javanese krama inggil expressions in Indonesian academic communication. While most Central Javanese people are bilingual in Javanese and Indonesian, the use of highly respectful Javanese forms within formal Indonesian-language settings remains underexplored. This research aims to examine how Javanese krama inggil expressions are inserted into Indonesian discourse during academic meetings organized by the Higher Education Service Institute Region VI, Central Java. Ten recordings of meeting interactions were analyzed qualitatively to identify the lexical and contextual meanings, politeness levels, and acceptance levels of the inserted expressions. Questionnaire data from lecturers and administrative staff were also collected to assess their perceptions. The findings reveal that krama inggil expressions appear systematically across opening, main, and closing segments of meetings, serving as markers of deference, respect, and cultural identity. The majority of respondents rated these expressions as “polite” or “very polite,” and “acceptable” or “highly acceptable” within Indonesian academic contexts. The results suggest that incorporating local linguistic resources enriches communicative harmony, reinforces cultural values, and demonstrates how politeness strategies transcend linguistic boundaries in multilingual professional settings.
