Abstract

This study examines young children’s speech acts during shared book reading within a natural family setting. The data consist of 151 naturally occurring utterances produced by two children aged 5 and 7 years (RA and NH) while reading several storybooks with their mother. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study employed recording, transcription, utterance unit identification, and coding based on Searle’s classification of speech acts and Austin’s concept of illocutionary functions. The findings reveal that representative acts dominate the children’s utterances (81), followed by directives (31), expressives (30), and commissives (9). Declarative acts were absent, as young children do not yet possess the social authority required to perform linguistically transformative actions. The analysis also shows distinct pragmatic patterns between the two children: NH produced more representative and inferential utterances, whereas RA tended to use expressive and directive acts when responding to the story and illustrations. These results demonstrate that shared book reading provides a rich context for eliciting diverse speech acts and highlights developmental differences in the pragmatic abilities of children aged 5–7. This study contributes to the field by presenting naturalistic data from an Indonesian family context and by emphasizing the role of shared book reading interactions in shaping early pragmatic development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine violations of the Maxim of Quality in discussions featured on the YouTube program Bocah-Bocah Kosong X Indy Barends based on Grice’s Maxim Theory (1975). The analysis focuses on utterances that lack evidential support and those that are hyperbolic, metaphorical, imaginative, or fantastical in nature. Adopting a qualitative pragmatic approach, the data were analyzed through content analysis, supported by the calculation of intercoder reliability using Krippendorff’s alpha and multimodal triangulation. The findings reveal that the most dominant forms of violation are hyperbolic humor (38%), absurd metaphors (22%), false identity claims (18%), and supernatural or fantasy-related statements (12%). These results indicate that violations of the Maxim of Quality do not merely represent communicative errors; rather, they function as performative strategies employed by Generation Z to construct humor, social solidarity, and creative, imaginative speaker identities within digital spaces. Theoretically, this study contributes to contemporary pragmatic scholarship by positioning maxim violations as meaningful communicative practices in digital culture. Nevertheless, the study is limited by the narrow scope of data, which is confined to a single episode with a relatively small number of utterances, as well as by the potential for performativity bias due to the entertainment-oriented nature of the content. Accordingly, future research is recommended to expand the data corpus, compare diverse contexts of Generation Z digital communication, and develop cross-maxim analyses of Grice’s framework in order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the pragmatic strategies of the digital generation.
