Abstract

This research addresses the limitations of pragmatic studies focusing on directive acts within the high-pressure context of modern military action movies. The study aims to investigate the types and situational aspects of the functions of directive acts used by main characters in The Expendables 4 (2023). Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research integrates Searle's (1975), taxonomy directive acts with Leech's (1983) framework of situational aspects to analyze movie dialogue. Data collection involved watching the movie, transcribing relevant scenes, and classifying utterances based on Searle's (1975) and Leech's (1983). The findings revealed 30 directive utterances, categorized into five types: 15 commands, 6 warnings, 4 requests, 3 instructions, and 2 suggestions. Commands were the most dominant form of the data, which reflects the hierarchical and urgent nature of military operations where immediate compliance is critical. The study concludes that situational urgency and combat intensity have a direct impact on the linguistic realization of directive acts, favoring brevity and force over politeness, but cooperative directive acts like requests and suggestions still play a strategic role in team coordination.

Abstract

Writing anxiety remains a persistent challenge for EFL university students, shaping their cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement with academic writing. While digital and AI-assisted tools are increasingly used to support writing development, little is known about how learners with different personality traits particularly extroverts and introverts employ technology to manage writing-related anxiety. This article reports the qualitative component of an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study that examined levels, types, causes, and coping strategies of English writing anxiety among Indonesian EFL undergraduates. Building on quantitative findings derived from the EPQ, SLWAI, and CWAI, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 purposefully selected students (10 extroverts; 10 introverts) to explore their technology-mediated coping strategies. Thematic analysis revealed clear personality-based distinctions. Extrovert students relied on stimulation-rich, interactive, and feedback-oriented technologies including YouTube tutorials, social media videos, writing applications, and AI tools to boost motivation, model writing processes, and reduce fear of errors. Technology served as an external scaffold that energized their writing engagement. In contrast, introvert students preferred quiet, private, and self-paced digital environments. They used calming media, reference-based tutorials, translation tools, vocabulary apps, and AI feedback to regulate emotions, clarify ideas, and resolve linguistic uncertainties in low-pressure settings. Technology functioned as an internal regulator that supported cognitive clarity and emotional steadiness. These findings underscore that technology-mediated coping is personality-sensitive, highlighting the need for flexible, personalized digital interventions to support diverse emotional and cognitive needs in EFL writing contexts.

The data in this research consists of captions and sentences containing illocutionary speech acts, while the data source is the Instagram captions from the WHO's Instagram account about Covid-19 during the pandemic. The method used in this research is the non-participant observation method. The researcher observed the captions on WHO’s Instagram about Covid-19 during the pandemic by recording and noting them. Additionally, the researcher transcribed the caption data into written form. After collecting the data, the researcher performed reduction, classification, verification, and tabulation based on their types. Next, the researcher coded the data, interpreted it, and drew conclusions. The results of this study identify five types of illocutionary speech acts in WHO’s Instagram captions about Covid-19, namely representative, directive, expressive, commissive, declarative, declarative & directive, and directive, representative, & declarative.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Traditional wedding attire is an important part of cultural heritage that functions not only as an aesthetic element but also as a symbol reflecting the values, identity, and worldview of a society. In Gorontalo culture, wedding attire embodies philosophical values related to moral principles, social status, cultural identity, and religious teachings, as reflected in the philosophy “Adat bersendikan syara’, syara’ bersendikan Kitabullah.” However, modernization and globalization have influenced the use and interpretation of traditional attire, leading to shifts in values within contemporary wedding practices. This study aims to examine the philosophical values embedded in the traditional wedding attire of both the bride and groom in Gorontalo traditional marriage ceremonies. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach. Data were collected from books, academic journals, cultural archives, and relevant documentation, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify symbolic meanings in elements such as colors, ornaments, accessories, and structural designs. The findings indicate that Gorontalo traditional wedding attire represents values of dignity, purity, prosperity, leadership, harmony, responsibility, and social balance. The bride’s attire (Bili’u) symbolizes elegance, honor, and the role of women in family life, while the groom’s attire reflects leadership, protection, and readiness to assume household responsibilities. Therefore, traditional wedding attire serves not only as ceremonial clothing but also as a medium for preserving cultural values and transmitting philosophical meanings to future generations. ABSTRAK Busana pengantin tradisional merupakan bagian penting dari warisan budaya yang tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai elemen estetika, tetapi juga mengandung makna simbolik yang mencerminkan nilai, identitas, dan pandangan hidup masyarakat. Dalam budaya Gorontalo, busana pengantin pada upacara pernikahan mengandung nilai filosofis yang berkaitan dengan prinsip moral, status sosial, identitas budaya, serta ajaran agama yang berlandaskan falsafah “Adat bersendikan syara’, syara’ bersendikan Kitabullah.” Namun, modernisasi dan globalisasi telah memengaruhi penggunaan dan pemaknaan busana tradisional sehingga menimbulkan pergeseran nilai dalam praktik pernikahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji nilai-nilai filosofis yang terkandung dalam busana pengantin pria dan wanita pada upacara pernikahan adat Gorontalo. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Data diperoleh dari buku, jurnal ilmiah, arsip budaya, dan dokumentasi terkait, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi makna simbolik pada unsur warna, ornamen, aksesori, dan struktur busana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa busana pengantin adat Gorontalo merepresentasikan nilai martabat, kesucian, kemakmuran, kepemimpinan, keharmonisan, tanggung jawab, dan keseimbangan sosial. Busana pengantin wanita (Bili’u) melambangkan keanggunan, kehormatan, dan peran perempuan dalam keluarga, sedangkan busana pengantin pria mencerminkan kepemimpinan, perlindungan, dan kesiapan menjalankan tanggung jawab rumah tangga. Dengan demikian, busana pengantin tradisional tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pelengkap upacara, tetapi juga sebagai media pelestarian nilai budaya dan pewarisan makna filosofis kepada generasi berikutnya.
