Abstract

This study explores the use of conversational implicature in seller-consumer interactions at cellular phone shops in Padang, Indonesia. It emphasizes how vendors employ implicit communication techniques to subtly communicate ideas, conform to cultural standards, and sway consumer choices. The study aims to comprehend how these nuanced language strategies support salespeople in establishing rapport, offering product details, and eventually achieving favorable sales results. By examining how well various tactics work, the study highlights how crucial culturally sensitive communication is to raising customer satisfaction and trust. Demonstrating the usefulness of language in transactional contexts advances the discipline of pragmatics. Leveraging Yules and Searles pragmatic frameworks, the research examines the types and functions of implicatures in these conversations. Using an observational qualitative method, data were collected through recording and note-taking techniques at three prominent locations in Padang. The findings reveal that conversational implicature is the most frequently used type, enabling sellers to subtly convey product information and build rapport without being overly direct. Representative functions dominate, as sellers provide product details and emphasize advantages. Commissive functions, such as promises of after-sales service, and expressive functions, aimed at rapport-building, are also prevalent. This study highlights the socio-cultural underpinnings of transactional communication, demonstrating how implicature aligns with local norms of indirectness in casual exchanges. The findings have practical implications for improving sales strategies, emphasizing the role of nuanced communication in consumer trust-building. This research contributes to the field of pragmatics by elucidating the role of language in shaping buyer perceptions and decision-making. Future studies could further explore the impact of implicature across different cultural and retail contexts to enhance cross-cultural consumer communication.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the type of code-mixing and the form of code-mixing of 8 song lyrics of Saykoji in the 2006 album. This study uses the code-mixing theory of Nababan, (1984). This research includes a qualitative description. This study used the Independent See-Engage-talk Technique (TSBLC) and Technique Direct Element (BUL) to analyze the data. This study focuses on the type of code-mixing using theory Suwito's (1983), and the form of code-mixing using theory Suwito's (1995). After conducting the analysis, there were sixty-six (66) data found in the code-mixing type and fifty-seven (57) data in the code-mixing form. According to Suwito, there are two types of code-mixing, namely Inner and Outer. After being analyzed, it was found that the Inner code-mixing in eight (8) Saykoji song lyrics was 15 (22.72%) while the outer code-mixing was found to be 51 (72.27%). The form of code mixing according to Suwito consists of six namely word, phrase, baster, repetition, idiom, and clause. After being analyzed, the highest percentage is word 32(56,14%), The second position is phrase 7(12, 2%), Idiom 6 (10, 52%), Clause 5(8,77%), repetition 4 (7 %), baster 3 (5.26%).

Abstract

Lack of engagement, weak critical thinking skills, disfluency, limited vocabulary, timidity, and a preference for individual learning often lead to inactive participation in English-speaking classes. This study investigated the qualitative impacts of the Modern Socratic Method (MSM) on Indonesian Polytechnic students’ active learning in an English-speaking course. Data were collected through complete participant observation and unstructured interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Credibility and transferability procedures ensured trustworthiness. The study was conducted over two semesters at Padang State Polytechnic with 54 students from two classes. Before the intervention, Class A and Class B obtained mean speaking performance scores of 50 and 60, respectively, both categorized as low. After the MSM was implemented, the means increased substantially to 85 (Class A) and 88 (Class B). The improvement was linked to MSM’s emphasis on continuous questioning, interactive discussion, logical argumentation, risk-taking in expressing opinions, and peer collaboration. These activities enhanced students’ fluency, expanded their vocabulary, strengthened critical thinking, built self-confidence, and fostered collaborative learning. The findings suggest that MSM can reduce reliance on lecture-based instruction in polytechnic English classes and improve students’ self-efficacy in managing speaking anxiety. This method holds promise for broader application in higher education contexts where active participation is essential.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The syntactic complexities of English sentence structures induced the EFL students’ sentence-level accuracies senseless. The Sentence’s Boundary Errors were, therefore, the major essences of this study. This study aimed at diagnosing the 2nd-year PNP ED students’ SBEs as the writers of English Paragraph Writing at the Writing II course. Qualitatively, both observation and documentation were the instruments of collecting the data while the 1984 Miles & Huberman’s Model and the 1973 Corder’s Clinical Elicitation were employed to analyse the data as regards the SBEs produced by the students. The findings designated that the major sources of the students’ SBEs were the subordinating clauses (noun, adverb and relative clauses), that-clauses, participle phrases, infinitive phrases, lonely verb phrases, afterthought, appositive fragments, fused sentences and comma splices. As a result, the SBEs flopped to communicate complete thoughts because they were grammatically incorrect; lacked a subject, a verb; the independent clauses ran together without properly using punctuation marks, conjunctions or transitions; and two or more independent clauses were purely joined by commas but failed to consider using conjunctions. In conclusion, the success of the EFL students in constructing sentences rests upon the knowledge of complex syntactic structures through transformational grammar.
