Abstract

This study critically examines the role of implicature in the Manggarai marriage proposal ritual as a culturally embedded communicative system that sustains social cohesion and collective identity in the face of accelerating global communication shifts. While dominant pragmatic theories emphasize clarity and efficiency, ritual discourse in incdigenous contexts reveals a contrasting logic where meaning is constructed through indirectness and shared cultural knowledge. Adopting a qualitative interpretive design grounded in sociopragmatics, this research integrates implicature theory and politeness theory to analyze naturally occurring discourse collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving fifteen participants across three ritual events. Thematic analysis identifies five interrelated functions of implicature: maintaining politeness and honor, mediating negotiation, reinforcing social hierarchy, managing rejection and conflict avoidance, and enabling cultural transmission. The findings demonstrate that indirectness operates not as a strategic option but as a normative communicative system that prioritizes relational harmony over informational transparency. This challenges the universality of established pragmatic frameworks by showing that communicative effectiveness is culturally defined rather than universally fixed. Furthermore, the study advances a conceptual repositioning of implicature from a micro-level inferential process to a macro-level socio-cultural mechanism that organizes interaction and reproduces social order. Practically, the findings offer implications for developing intercultural communicative competence and culturally responsive pedagogy. By foregrounding cultural logic in meaning-making, this study contributes a novel perspective to global pragmatics, emphasizing that communication in ritual contexts is fundamentally shaped by values that sustain social cohesion and continuity

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the politeness strategies used in WhatsApp Group communication among university students. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design with a pragmatic approach based on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory. The participants of the study consisted of 25 students who actively interacted in an academic WhatsApp Group. The data were collected through documentation of naturally occurring conversations in the WhatsApp Group, including requests, reminders, greetings, apologies, suggestions, and discussions. The researcher functioned as the primary research instrument, while supporting instruments included observation notes, documentation sheets, and coding categories. The data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing based on the four categories of politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson: bald-on-record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record strategies. The findings revealed that all four types of politeness strategies were employed by the participants in WhatsApp Group communication. Positive politeness strategy was the most dominant strategy, accounting for 40% of the data, followed by the negative politeness strategy (27%), bald-on-record strategy (20%), and off-record strategy (13%). The findings indicate that participants tended to emphasize solidarity, cooperation, friendliness, and harmonious interaction in digital communication. In addition, the study found that contextual factors and digital communication features such as emojis and informal expressions contributed to the realization of politeness strategies. Overall, this study confirms that politeness remains an important aspect of interpersonal communication in technologically mediated interaction and demonstrates the relevance of pragmatic analysis in understanding digital communication practices
