Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of love in interpersonal relationships between partners, friends, and in the work environment, between superiors and subordinates, which seeks to strengthening interpersonal relationships. The technique used in this study is a qualitative approach, with the field observation method and in-depth interviews with several couples/respondents as the sample. Data analysis in this study is to observe verbal and non-verbal interactions between twenty respondents/resource persons, including couples, superiors, subordinates, and friends, during the in-depth interview session. It can be seen that the results show that the use of informal, rich lexical language and non-verbal signals plays an important role in strengthening emotional bonds and increasing understanding between individuals. The results of the conversation data interview show that there are many differences between respondents and between one partner and another, depending on whether or not they have established a relationship. The findings show that the expression of love, both verbal and non-verbal, contributes significantly to satisfaction in their relationship. This study can also identify the five main love languages expressed by respondents, namely in the form of affirmation words, quality time, receiving gifts, service actions, and physical touch.

Abstract

This article discusses the analysis of the use of language in public services, which plays a very important role, not only as a means of conveying information, but also as a medium for forming power relations and solidarity between officers and the public. This research aims to examine the representation of power and solidarity in public service speech. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with discourse analysis and pragmatics methods. Research data is in the form of oral and written speech used by public service officials in interacting with the public, which is collected through observation, recording and documentation techniques. Data analysis focused on lexical choices, forms of speech acts, politeness strategies, and the use of greetings in service contexts. The research results show that power relations are reflected through the dominance of directive speech, the use of formal language, and instructional sentence structures. Meanwhile, solidarity is realised through the use of more communicative language, personal greetings, and positive politeness strategies that emphasise empathy and social closeness. This research confirms that the balance between power and solidarity in public service speech contributes to communication effectiveness and service quality.
