Abstract

This study aims to analyze speech act strategies in social media interactions, particularly in TikTok's comment section, using a pragmatic approach. TikTok, as a short video-based platform, functions not only as an entertainment medium but also as a discursive space where users perform various social actions through language. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data in the form of user comments on TikTok posts that have a high level of interaction. Data collection was carried out through non-participant observation and documentation, while data analysis included reduction, classification, pragmatic interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The theoretical framework used includes Austin and Searle's speech act theory, Grice's cooperative principle, Brown and Levinson's politeness theory, and Fairclough's critical discourse perspective. The results show that expressive speech acts and indirect directives are the most dominant strategies, manifested through implicature, humor, and politeness strategies. These strategies are used to convey criticism, build solidarity, negotiate identity, and reproduce and challenge power relations in political discourse, education, entertainment, and da'wah. These findings confirm that speech acts in TikTok comments are not neutral, but rather function as ideological and contextual social practices in digital culture, particularly among Generation Z.

Abstract

Morphology is a central field in linguistics that examines the internal structure of words and the processes by which they are formed. A key concept in morphological studies is the morpheme, defined as the smallestmeaningful unit of language. This study aims to analyze the types and functions of morphemes found in an academic ecolinguistics text in order to illustrate how morphological processes operate in written discourse. The data for this study were obtained from selected lexical items and sentences taken from a subchapter of ArranStibbe’s Ecolinguistics. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to identify and classify free morphemes,bound morphemes, derivational morphemes, inflectional morphemes, compound words, and word classes. The analysis was conducted by segmenting words into their morphemic components and examining their grammatical functions within context. The findings indicate that derivational morphemes, particularly those forming abstract nouns and technical terms, occur frequently in the text, reflecting the academic nature of ecolinguistics discourse. Inflectional morphemes mainly serve grammatical functions such as tense and number, while compound words contribute to the expression of interdisciplinary concepts. This study highlights the importance of morpheme analysis in understanding word formation and meaning construction in academic texts, especially in the field of linguistics.

Abstract

This study examines inflectional and derivational affixation in the lyrics of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” by The Beatles from a morphological perspective. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the song lyrics were analyzed by identifying and classifying words that undergo affixation based on established morphological theory. The findings reveal that inflectional affixes occur more frequently than derivational affixes, indicating that the lyrics rely primarily on grammatical variation rather than lexical expansion. Inflectional suffixes such as -s, -ed, and -ing are used to express grammatical features without changing word class, while derivational affixes such as -ly and un- contribute to lexical and functional changes. The analysis also shows that the suffix -ing can function both inflectionally and derivationally, depending on its syntactic context. Overall, the study demonstrates that song lyrics can serve as a meaningful source of data for morphological analysis and highlights the importance of contextual interpretation in distinguishing between inflectional and derivational affixation.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the syntactic structure of adverbs of manner found in J.K. Rowling’s novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The primary purpose is to categorize the types of adverbs of manner used and to illustratetheir structural positions within sentences using tree diagram representations. The data source for this qualitativeresearch is the first volume of the Harry Potter series, from which a purposive sample of 150 sentences containing adverbs of manner was extracted. The research method employed is a descriptive-qualitative approach involving data reduction,data display, and conclusion drawing. Results indicate that adverbs of manner in the novel predominantly function asadjuncts within Verb Phrases (VP). Furthermore, the analysis reveals that most adverbs are formed throughsuffixation (-ly) and occupy various positions, though post-verbal positioning is most frequent. The findings suggest that J.K. Rowling uses descriptive adverbs to enhance the vividness of character actions. These interpretations providepedagogical applications for linguistics students in understanding syntactic hierarchies and the functional role of adverbs innarrative literature, offering a practical model for tree diagram construction in English syntax studies.
