Abstract

This study examines the use of verbal and nonverbal illocutionary speech acts in the film Silent Love through a pragmatic approach. It aims to identify the forms of verbal and nonverbal illocutionary speech acts and explain how speakers' intentions and pragmatic meanings are conveyed despite the characters' physical limitations in communication. The theoretical framework is based on Searle's Speech Act Theory, Yule's Pragmatics Theory, Knapp and Hall's Nonverbal Communication Theory, and the concept of silence as a complementary perspective. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using observation and note-taking techniques for data collection. The findings reveal that verbal interactions are dominated by assertive speech acts, supported by directive, expressive, and commissive speech acts that contribute to the development of the film's narrative. In the nonverbal domain, the main character's limited verbal communication is effectively replaced by actions, touch, and body gestures that perform assertive, directive, expressive, and commissive functions. Declarative speech acts are absent because no character possesses formal authority. The study concludes that pragmatic meanings are successfully conveyed through the integration of kinesics, haptics, and paralinguistic features, enabling silence to function effectively as a substitute for verbal communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of the Japanese sentence-final particles (shūjōshi) yo and ne in formal and informal speech registers, focusing on dialogue in the anime Violet Evergarden (2018) by Kana Akatsuki, episodes 1–4. Using a qualitative descriptive method, 57 utterances containing yo and ne were identified, transcribed, and classified according to speech context (teineigo/formal versus futsūgo/informal) and the social relationship between interlocutors (vertical versus horizontal), then interpreted through Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The results show that both particles overwhelmingly occur in informal contexts, while formal usage is comparatively rare (yo: 3 formal vs. 25 informal tokens; ne: 4 formals vs. 25 informal tokens). Functionally, yo tends to mark assertive-directive meaning in formal speech and shifts toward assertive-empathetic meaning in informal speech, whereas ne consistently functions as a confirmatory, dialogic marker that softens claims in formal contexts and strengthens solidarity in informal ones. Social hierarchy also shapes particle choice: superiors favor yo (15 tokens) when addressing subordinates, while subordinates favor ne (4 tokens) when addressing superiors; among peers, the two particles occur in a near-balanced distribution (14 vs. 13 tokens). Positive politeness strategies, particularly PP-1 (attending to the hearer’s wants), dominate over negative politeness strategies. These findings confirm that yo and ne function not merely as grammatical markers but as pragmatic devices sensitive to social context and interpersonal relationships.
