Abstract

This research evaluates the expressive speech acts employed by Engene in their comments on Enhypen’s Weverse platform posts, focusing on the role of these speech acts in fan-idol interactions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a pragmatic perspective, the study examines selected textual comments from Engene, classifying and identifying the speech acts embedded in their words and expressions. The analysis centers on how these speech acts function within social interactions, particularly in fostering emotional connections between fans and idols. The study identifies five main types of expressive speech acts present in Engene’s comments: admiration, encouragement, gratitude, celebration, and expressions of sadness or regret. Among these, admiration is the most prevalent, reflecting the deep emotional bond fans establish with Enhypen. Encouragement serves as a means for fans to motivate and support their idols, while gratitude expresses appreciation for Enhypen’s efforts and impact. Celebration often appears in response to achievements or significant moments, reinforcing the shared joy between fans and idols. Conversely, expressions of sadness or regret emerge when fans resonate with emotional or difficult experiences shared by Enhypen. By analyzing these speech acts, the study highlights how fan discourse on Weverse extends beyond simple interactions, shaping the dynamics of parasocial relationships and reinforcing the idol-fan connection. This research underscores the significance of language in digital fan communities, demonstrating how expressive speech acts create a sense of closeness, emotional investment, and mutual engagement between Engene and Enhypen within the Weverse platform.

Abstract

This study analyses the use of speech act in the diplomatic speeches of Retno Marsudi and Sugiono in international forums supporting Palestine. Based on Searle’s speech act theory and Toulmin’s argumentation theory, this study explores how each diplomat used linguistics strategies to construct meaning and covey political support. The data collection techniques in this research are first, watching videos of Retno Marsudi’s and Sugiono's speeches at the 16th UN and BRICS Summit through YouTube. Second, transcribing the selected videos. Third, searching for their speech texts on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. Fourth, reading the text and then collecting data by selecting which phrases to take. The last is identifying the phrases that match the category characteristics. Using descriptive qualitative method in the analysis, Retno Marsudi tends to use directive speech acts to urge immediate action from the UN Security Council and commissive speech acts to emphasize Indonesia's commitment to justice. On the other hand, Sugiono uses expressive and directive speech acts to build international solidarity and invite Southern countries to support Palestine. The analysis shows that Retno Marsudi emphasizes direct conceptual meaning, while Sugiono uses associative meaning to strengthen global solidarity and justice. This difference reflects the rhetorical strategies used in accordance with their respective audiences and objectives in international forums. This research provides insight into the use of language in diplomatic forums that can influence policy in international relations.
