Abstract

Maintaining etiquette in speech acts is a part of politeness strategies conducted in communication. This study aimed to describe the use of politeness strategies and the influence factors found in the political talk show of Mata Najwa. The research method employed a descriptive qualitative one as proposed by Brown and Levinson’s four politeness strategies. Face is indicated as an inherently political element in the theory of Goffman. The data is a dialogue transcription taken from Mata Najwa YouTube.on 18 October 2023. The techniques of collecting data were documentation by watching, listening, transcribing, reviewing the transcription, and selecting the speakers’ utterances. The data analysis involved identifying, and classifying utterances based on politeness strategies, analyzing frequency, interpreting the data, and drawing conclusions. The analysis of 193 utterances showed that 114 of them had positive politeness strategy data (59%), 34 had bald-on politeness strategy data (17,6%), 24 had negative politeness strategy data (12,4%), and 21 had off-record politeness strategy data (17,6%). The positive politeness method is the most commonly employed tactic. It suggests that the inclination toward familiarity between speakers and listeners as well as the sentiment to reveal people's individuality by lowering FTA in each phrase is generated by particular factors. That becomes a point for speakers to build and maintain relationships.

Abstract

This Community Service (PKM) aims to improve the digital skills of MSME actors in rural areas, especially in online marketing, through online training using the Zoom platform. This activity is motivated by the low digital skills of MSMEs in rural areas, which limits their access to the digital market. The method used is participatory action research (PAR), involving 30 MSME actors who are selected by purposive sampling. The training lasts four weeks and includes two weekly sessions, covering material on digital marketing, the use of social media, e-commerce, and marketing performance monitoring. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' digital skills, with an average pre-test score of 45 increasing to 80 on the post-test. Implementing the skills learned also resulted in an increase in engagement on social media by 40% and an increase in online transactions by 20%-30%. Participants gave positive feedback regarding the relevance of the training and the application of the skills taught. This activity fills the gap in previous research by focusing on practical strategies adapted to the conditions of MSMEs in rural areas. The main obstacle faced is the problem of internet connectivity, which needs to be considered in the next training. Overall, this activity has succeeded in increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital market

Abstract

This study examines the impact of social media on language and cultural changes among young generations. The research aims to analyze how the intensity of social media usage influences the emergence of slang, abbreviations, and borrowed words in daily communication, as well as how it accelerates the adoption of foreign cultural trends, shaping social norms and lifestyles. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 190 respondents through structured questionnaires. Several statistical tests, including validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, multiple regression, t-test, and ANOVA (F-test), were conducted to evaluate the relationships between variables. The findings reveal that social media significantly influences both language and cultural changes, with all tested hypotheses being statistically significant (p < 0.05). The regression model explains 56% of the variation in language and cultural changes (R² = 0.560). These results suggest that while social media fosters linguistic creativity and global cultural exposure, it may also contribute to the erosion of formal language use and local traditions. The study emphasizes the need for balanced digital literacy programs and cultural preservation efforts to mitigate potential negative impacts. Future research should explore long-term effects and additional influencing factors beyond social media.
