Abstract

The study focuses on the purposes and ramifications of reference markers (it, this, and that) for teaching English in educational situations by analyzing their usage in 10 articles from Newsweek and Tempo News. The study examined the ways in which these indicators support textual coherence in professional writing using a qualitative research approach and content analysis. The information came from eleven pieces that were published for Tempo News and Newsweek. According to the results, reference markers had a less substantial role in the texts under analysis than anticipated; Newsweek had more occurrences of reference markers than Tempo News. This disparity shows that reference markers may be used differently based on target audience, writing style, and cultural norms. The study also raises the possibility of a disconnect between theoretical knowledge and real-world text application. In order to fill these gaps, teachers should enhance their understanding of successful teaching and learning reference marker tactics by incorporating real materials into their lessons and assessing students' competency levels.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze locutionary speech acts used in the Twitter account @Cursedkidd using a pragmatic approach and qualitative methods. Locutionary speech acts are understood as literal utterances that function to convey information directly in communication interactions. This study explores the forms of locutionary speech acts such as directives, declaratives, interrogatives, imperatives, and expressives, and how these forms are used to build public discourse through Twitter social media. Data were collected through observation of tweets and replies from the @Cursedkidd account, then analyzed using listening techniques and discourse analysis methods. The results showed that the dominant locutionary forms were directives (40%), followed by declaratives (32%), interrogatives and imperatives each (10%), and expressives (8%). These findings indicate that Twitter as a social media creates an interactive and dynamic communication space, where concise language styles, symbols, and popular cultural elements such as slang are used strategically to influence, express emotions, and build social relationships. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding social and cultural contexts in interpreting literal meanings and interactions in digital media.
