Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of illocutionary acts in Javanese acts found in sastra.org Website based on Searle’s (1969) classification and to explain their functions using Leech’s (1983) about theory of illocutionary functions. The data of this research consist of two selected posts published on sastra.org website, namely Sêrat Gugon Tuhon (2021) and Ngéngréngan Kasusastran Jawa (2024), which contain utterances reflecting Javanese cultural values, social etiquette, and moral teachings. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis as the technique of data collection and analysis.  The findings reveal that the illocutionary acts found in the data are dominated by directive acts, which function to advise, warn, prohibit, and control behavior within the Javanese community. In terms of illocutionary functions, the data show the presence of competitive, collaborative, and conflictive functions, while no convivial function is found. This absence indicates that Javanese myths primarily serve as normative and regulative expressions rather than as expressions of social pleasure or politeness. Overall, the study demonstrates that illocutionary acts in Javanese myths play a significant role in transmitting cultural norms, moral values, and social discipline through language, contributing to a deeper understanding of the relationship between Pragmatics and Javanese cultural traditions.

Abstract

Business signage reflects the linguistic landscape, showing the language choices business owners make in public spaces. Tanjung Bumi, in Bangkalan, Madura—a region known as a hub for batik tulis (hand-drawn batik) and a coastal trading area—has not yet been examined through the lens of its linguistic landscape. This study analyzes the forms and functions of language displayed on business signs in the area. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzed 53 business signs documented directly from the commercial corridors of Tanjung Bumi. The data were classified into monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual typologies, examined for their informative and symbolic functions, and assessed based on their text placement patterns (vertical or horizontal). Frequencies were used as descriptive statistics to support the interpretation. The findings indicate that bilingual signage is the most prevalent format (60.4%), followed by monolingual (26.4%) and multilingual (13.2%) formats. The English-Indonesian combination appears most frequently (41.5%), while Madurese appears in only 13.2% of the total data. Arabic accounts for a significant portion (18.9%), particularly in business identities that convey a religious character. Functionally, English is more often employed symbolically to project a modern image, whereas Indonesian, Madurese, and Arabic are primarily used for informational purposes or to assert cultural and religious identities. The linguistic patterns observed on business signs in Tanjung Bumi reveal an adaptive semiotic strategy used by business owners to integrate a globally oriented commercial appeal with local identity and religious values; at the same time, these patterns highlight the limited presence of the Madurese language in the public commercial sphere.
