Abstract

Traditionally, swearing was considered a taboo subject. However, in today’s era swearing has become a common thing.  It is practiced not only by men but women also practice it. To avoid social impoliteness, it is practiced in various ways, purposes, and languages based on the context. This research analyzed the types and functions of English swearing used by females on WhatsApp seen from a sociolinguistics perspective. Ljung (2011) and Vingerhoets & Bylsma (2013)’s theories were applied in this research. Observations were conducted through WhatsApp stories in gaining eight written utterances data and virtual interviews were conducted by eight participants in gaining the functions of swearing data. The results show four types of swear words covered the use of swearing, namely: religious theme, scatological theme, sexual activities theme, and mother/family theme. Each of these themes has different functions depending on the context of utterances. Other results indicate that females function English swearing in intra-individual and inter-individual. Intra-individual functions lead to show anger, frustration, and annoyance. Inter-individual functions lead to insulting others and showing solidarity. These functions were triggered by positive emotions (excitement and chill out with friends) and negative emotions (anger, frustration, and annoyance). Mostly Females swear triggered by negative emotions.

Abstract

This research was driven by the emergence of a variety of intense reactions on social media X (Twitter) in response to the UK and French governments' policies for recognizing the sovereignty of the Palestinian state. The aim of this study is to find out what kinds of Face-Threatening Acts (FTA) strategies are employed by online users and examine how these strategies represent the sociopolitical context. The researcher analyzed 100 units of FTA data from 73 selected comments using a descriptive qualitative method and the politeness theory framework by Brown and Levinson (1987). According to the study's findings, netizens frequently employ language in a straightforward and aggressive way, preferring the Order strategy to call for humanitarian action and the Insult strategy to undermine the legitimacy of governmental power. The findings of this study demonstrate a clear polarization in the digital realm, where the use of harsh language is encouraged by the efficiency of communication on platform X and an intense sense of moral and security urgency. The researcher came to the conclusion that when it comes with truly sensitive global issues, the boundaries of politeness are frequently ignored in order to directly communicate political demands and public anger to those in authority.

Abstract

This study examines the register features used in the English commentary of the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021. Despite the growing body of research on sports discourse, Formula One commentary remains underexplored from a register perspective, particularly in relation to the linguistic features that characterize live motorsport broadcasting. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzes English-language commentary from the official Formula One broadcast using the Register-Functional framework proposed by Biber et al. (2022). The findings indicate that the commentary belongs to the Spoken Broadcast Commentary register and is realized through four register features: technical, descriptive, evaluative, and expressive. Technical features are the most frequent, reflecting the commentators' need to communicate specialized racing terminology, strategies, and regulations accurately during live broadcasts. Descriptive features narrate unfolding race events, while evaluative and expressive features are employed selectively to emphasize decisive moments and convey the significance of key developments. These findings demonstrate how different register features work together to fulfill the communicative demands of live Formula One commentary, extending the application of register analysis to motorsport discourse and contributing to the broader study of language variation in sports broadcasting.
