Abstract

Linguistics, as the scientific study of language, provides a fundamental framework for understanding how learners acquire and develop their linguistic competence. However, many students still face difficulties in achieving adequate mastery of language skills, which can hinder their academic performance. This study aims to examine the influence of language learning strategies on students’ linguistic competence. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey design with a sample of undergraduate students from the English Department. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire based on Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and a linguistic competence test covering phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The results of regression analysis indicate that language learning strategies have a significant positive effect on students’ linguistic competence, with metacognitive and cognitive strategies showing the strongest influence. These findings suggest that effective use of language learning strategies enhances students’ understanding of linguistic principles and improves their overall performance in linguistics courses. The study highlights the pedagogical implication that lecturers should integrate strategy-based instruction in the classroom to optimize students’ linguistic development.

Abstract

This study explores prosodic analysis as a method to recognize speech impairment in the elderly. The background shows that physiological and neurological changes often affect intonation patterns, rhythm, intensity, and vocal quality, thus impacting communication fluency. The method used was qualitative with in vivo voice recording, interviews, and signal analysis using sound processing software. The results found a decrease in pitch frequency range, slowness of speech rhythm, and decreased voice intensity, indicating a decline in phonation function among the elderly. The implication is that the prosodic approach can be an early screening tool, enabling more appropriate clinical and speech therapy interventions to maintain the quality of life of the elderly.

It has a background of deixis preventions in lyrics and conveys meaning and emotion. The main purpose is to analyze and classify the types of deixis in the lyrics and explore the meaning of the pragmatic context. The research method used focuses on descriptive qualitative on personal, special, temporal, social, and discourse deixis. This research is subjected to the content of Taylor Swift's song lyrics that have been mentioned.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of non-observance maxims that trigger implicatures in the interview with Ganjar Pranowo, a prominent political figure in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, the primary data source utilized was Youtube video of the exclusive interview with Ganjar Pranowo by TvOne, which were transcribed for analysis. Drawing on Grice's theory of conversational implicature, highlighting the implicit meanings conveyed through deviations from the four maxims of effective communication: quantity, quality, relation, and manner, this research delves into Ganjar Pranowo's communication strategies, particularly focusing on deviations from the cooperative principles in communication. This study reveals that Ganjar Pranowo frequently employs particularized implicatures to convey additional messages beyond the literal meaning of his words. This approach not only adds layers of meaning but also showcases the strategic use of language to imply information indirectly. Additionally, the study identifies instances where Ganjar Pranowo deliberately limits the information provided during interviews, further complicating the interpretative process for listeners. These findings illustrate the complexity of human communication dynamics, where implied messages and implicit communication strategies significantly influence the understanding of spoken words. This study offers profound insights into Ganjar Pranowo's adept use of language and implicatures to communicate nuanced messages. It highlights the intricacies of human communication processes and the subtle dynamics of interaction between speakers, emphasizing the importance of context and inference in effective communication.

The data collection techniques were observation, interview and content analysis. The collected data were then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that the use of YouTube videos in English learning has significant effectiveness. Students who are given English learning using YouTube videos show greater improvement in English skills than students who are given English learning without using YouTube videos.

Abstract

This study explores how conversational meaning is created through the deliberate non-observance of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in a humor-based Indonesian podcast. The purpose of this research is to understand not only how speakers flout conversational maxims, but also why they do so and how these choices help convey humor, engage listeners, and make complex information easier to understand. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, drawing data from an episode of the Raditya Dika Podcast titled Cerita dari Ruang IGD, featuring Dr. Gia Pratama, which discusses a real medical emergency case. The analysis identifies instances where speakers intentionally break the maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner to create meaning beyond the literal words. The findings reveal 15 instances of maxim flouting, with Quality occurring most often, followed by Manner, Quantity, and Relation. These strategies are used to dramatize events, express professional awe, manage emotional tension, and translate complicated medical experiences into stories that are engaging and accessible. Overall, the study shows that deliberately flouting conversational maxims allows speakers to balance humor with sensitive content, making the podcast both informative and entertaining. This highlights the role of pragmatic choices in digital discourse and suggests that humor can be an effective tool for presenting serious topics in ways that are clear, relatable, and engaging for listeners.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of deixis in a political interview broadcast on Fox News featuring U.S. President Donald Trump. Deixis is central to political discourse because it links language to context and helps speakers position themselves, others, and events. The objective of this research is to identify the types of deictic expressions used in the interview and to explain their pragmatic functions based on Levinson’s (1983) theory. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from the interview transcript and analyzed. The findings indicate that person deixis is the most dominant type, especially “I” and “we” which express authority, responsibility, and solidarity, while third-person forms “they” and “them” create distance and opposition. Time, place, discourse, and social deixis support narrative framing, argument organization, and the expression of power relations. This study shows that deixis functions as a strategic linguistic resource in constructing political meaning and ideological positioning in media discourse.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and categorize the many forms and purposes of illocutionary speech acts in Zohran Mamdani's victory speech. As a youthful politician from a minority group, Mamdani's discourse adds a fresh dimension to progressive political communication. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a pragmatic approach. The data were extracted from the transcript of Zohran Mamdani's victory speech and evaluated using Searle's speech act classification theory. The study identified five categories of illocutionary acts: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. Assertive acts dominate the utterances as a strategy of reinforcing identification and establishing political reality. The study indicates that the employment of illocutionary force in this speech is a strategic tool for converting electoral triumph into collective political agency for the working class. The linguistic methods used were successful in creating an inclusive narrative that challenges the existing quo while boosting minority leaders' legitimacy in the public domain.
