Abstract

This study investigates the use of speech acts in Joe Biden’s 2023 speeches concerning the Hamas and Israel conflict, with a focus on identifying and interpreting the pragmatic functions of his language. Drawing on Austin’s and Searle’s framework of speech acts, the analysis categorizes utterances into locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts, with particular emphasis on illocutionary functions. The data were collected from Biden’s public addresses and analyzed qualitatively to determine the frequency and communicative purpose of each speech act category. The findings reveal that assertive speech acts dominate the discourse (64%), followed by directives (24%), declaratives (9%), and expressives (3%), with no commissive identified. This indicates Biden’s preference for asserting information and guiding responses rather than expressing emotions or making binding commitments. Comparative analysis with previous studies such as research on Netanyahu’s crisis rhetoric, Hamas representatives’ accusatory strategies, and speech acts in films shows both similarities and differences. While assertives consistently dominate across contexts, Biden’s avoidance of commissives and limited use of expressives distinguishes his rhetoric as cautious and diplomatic. The study concludes that speech act patterns in political discourse are strongly shaped by the speaker’s role, political stance, and global positioning, offering new insights into the intersection of pragmatics and international political communication.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh nilai perusahaan (Market-to-Book/MTB), profitabilitas (Net Profit Margin/NPM), dan inflasi terhadap kebijakan dividen (Dividend Payout Ratio/DPR) dengan ukuran perusahaan sebagai variabel kontrol pada subsektor food & beverage di Bursa Efek Jakarta. Populasi terdiri dari 95 perusahaan dengan kriteria dan purposive sampling diperoleh 31 perusahaan (93 sampel) untuk periode 2022–2024. Metode yang digunakan adalah regresi linier berganda menggunakan SPSS 25. Hasil menunjukkan variabel nilai perusahaan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap DPR (β=0,042; t=2,031; p=0,046). Variabel profitabilitas (NPM) berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap DPR (β=0,989; t=2,587; p=0,012) dan inflasi tidak berpengaruh signifikan (β=−0,454; t=−0,175; p=0,862). Secara simultan model signifikan (F=3,564; p=0,011) dengan Adjusted R²=0,126. Hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa perusahaan dengan valuasi pasar dan margin laba yang lebih tinggi cenderung meningkatkan pembayaran dividen, sementara tekanan inflasi pada periode observasi tidak mengubah kebijakan dividen secara berarti. Bagi investor dan regulator indikator nilai perusahaan dan profitabilitas relevan untuk menilai konsistensi kebijakan dividen di subsektor ini.
