Abstract

Language in digital games functions not only as communication but also as a mechanism that regulates interaction and gameplay dynamics. This study aims to investigate system-generated narrator utterances in Mobile Legends by identifying gameplay contexts, analyzing illocutionary act types, and examining the communicative functions conveyed through narrator utterances. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method using Speech Act Theory proposed by John Searle (1979) as the analytical framework. The data consisted of narrator utterances obtained from in-game gameplay in Mobile Legends Season 39 and Season 40, supported by gameplay videos from TikTok. The findings revealed that narrator utterances appeared across various gameplay contexts, particularly role excellence, mechanical skill, and survival kill streak contexts. In terms of illocutionary acts, representative acts were dominant, followed by expressive, directive, and declarative acts, while commissive acts were not identified in the data. Furthermore, narrator utterances functioned to inform, warn, command, motivate players, emphasize achievements, and regulate strategic responses during gameplay. These findings indicate that narrator utterances serve not only as informational announcements but also as communicative and regulatory mechanisms that organize gameplay interaction and support strategic coordination within digital gaming environments.

Abstract

English language instruction in elementary schools faces challenges regarding language exposure, vocabulary mastery, and the availability of engaging, practical learning media. This study aimed to develop an English Pocketbook and assess its validity and practicality as a supplementary learning tool. The research employed the ADDIE R&D model, involving 27 sixth-grade students from SDN Kwangrundun, Central Lombok. Data were collected via expert validation questionnaires and feedback from students and teachers; these data were analyzed using percentage-based metrics and served as the basis for product revisions. Expert validation results reached 87.50% (highly valid), while student and teacher responses were 87.22% and 85%, respectively (both indicating high practicality). Consequently, the English Pocketbook was deemed valid and practical as a supplementary learning medium. However, as its effectiveness in enhancing vocabulary mastery has not yet been measured, further research incorporating pre-tests and post-tests is required.

Abstract

This study examines the use of figurative language and contextual meaning in Nahdlatul Wathan (NW) poetic verses written by TGKH. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid. This topic is important because Wasiat Renungan Masa Pengalaman Baru functions not only as a medium of religious preaching and education, but also as a representation of moral, social, religious, and cultural values conveyed through figurative expressions. The study aims to identify the types of figurative language based on Leech's theory (1969,2014) and analyze their contextual meanings using the theory proposed by Dancygier & Sweetser (2014). This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data consisted of Wasiat Renungan Masa Pengalaman Baru verses containing figurative expressions. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed by classifying figurative language types and interpreting their contextual meanings within the religious, cultural, and social context of Sasak society. The findings reveal seven dominant types of figurative language: metaphor, hyperbole, metonymy, simile, personification, litotes, and synecdoche. Metaphor appeared as the most dominant type because it effectively conveyed spiritual, moral, and ideological messages symbolically. Furthermore, the contextual meanings reflected religious values, educational principles, loyalty, socio-cultural identity, and criticism toward political and moral behavior in society. This study contributes to the development of stylistic and contextual semantic studies, particularly in Indonesian local religious literary works.
