Abstract

This article explores illocutionary acts within the "Hold On, It Hurts" Alternative Universe (AU) in the X application, utilizing Yule's theoretical framework as its foundation. The study focuses on how language, specifically illocutionary acts, creates and conveys meaning in this unique digital narrative space. Yule's theory also defines the classifications of speech acts, such as representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative, and serves as a lens to dissect and understand the intricacies of communication within the AU. The research primarily centers on the illocutionary acts, examining how the characters in the "Hold On, It Hurts" AU use language not just for literal communication but to perform various actions and express complex emotions. The study investigates the dynamics between the speaker and listener within the AU, highlighting how context, speaker intentions, and underlying emotional states are crucial in interpreting these acts.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of sarcasm in social media comments responding to the comparison of corruption punishments in Indonesia and China. Using a qualitative approach with pragmatics and cyberpragmatics frameworks, the research identifies and analyzes the forms, functions, and contexts of sarcasm in digital discourse. Data were collected from high-engagement comments on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, focusing on posts criticizing the disparity in corruption sentences. Linguistic indicators such as hashtags, emojis, capital letters, and exclamation marks were observed, revealing sarcasm's role in conveying dissatisfaction. Pragmatically, comments served as tools for social critique, emphasizing protest against legal injustices and invoking moral values like fairness and transparency. Cyberpragmatically, the digital context amplified the emotional tone and increased the viral potential of the comments, enabling broader public discourse. This study highlights sarcasm's effectiveness as a means of public criticism, demonstrating how digital platforms facilitate creative and collective expressions of social dissatisfaction.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis apa saja jenis-jenis bahasa figuratif yang terkandung dalam setiap lirik lagu tari maena pernikahan masyarakat Nias dan mengungkap makna simbol yang terdapat pada pertunjukan tari maena di pernikahan masyarakat Nias. Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian ini bersumber dari rekaman video lagu tari maena pernikahan dalam album Rusdi Group (Tarian Maena Nias/Ono Niha) serta tiga orang informan. Setelah menganalisis data, peneliti menemukan lima jenis bahasa figuratif dalam lirik lagu tari maena pernikahan masyarakat Nias, yaitu metafora, perbandingan/simile, hiperbola, ironi, dan paradoks. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa majas hiperbola lebih dominan digunakan dalam lirik lagu tari maena pernikahan karena kebiasaan masyarakat Nias yang selalu melebih-lebihkan dengan mengungkapkannya secara implisit dan simbol-simbol dalam pertunjukan tari maena sudah mengalami pergeseran makna. Penelitian ini diharapkan bisa menjadi pedoman bagi peneliti selanjutnya dalam mengkaji bahasa figuratif dalam tradisi lisan lainnya.

Abstract

Digital media have become an important part of students' learning environments, shaping how learners access information and interpret social realities (Hatlevik et al., 2021; Pangrazio & Sefton-Green, 2022) exposing them not only to educational content but also to ideologically loaded media such as advertisements. Among digital platforms, YouTube plays a significant role in shaping students’ perceptions through its pervasive advertising content. This study investigates how gender representation is constructed in YouTube advertisements and examines its implications for students’ critical literacy in educational contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study analyzes eight YouTube advertisements from diverse product categories using Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis framework, focusing on textual, discursive, and social practice dimensions. The findings reveal recurring gendered patterns in which home cleaning and domestic products are predominantly associated with female characters, while luxury, automotive, and technology-related products are more frequently represented through male figures. These representations reinforce conventional gender ideologies that link femininity with caregiving, emotional labor, and appearance, and masculinity with agency, productivity, and public success. The study argues that critical literacy practices are essential for raising students’ awareness of gendered social values embedded in digital advertising, enabling them to question dominant representations and develop more inclusive and equitable perspectives on gender.
