Abstract

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit atypical pragmatic language patterns, yet the relationship between directive speech act production, telegraphic speech, and Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits remains underexplored from a neuropragmatic perspective. This qualitative case study investigated the directive utterances produced by a 15‑year‑old adolescent with ASD attending an inclusive classroom at SMPN 23 Padang, Indonesia. Data were collected over nine days of participant observation, video recordings, and the administration of the Sally-Anne false-belief test. A total of 140 directive utterances were analyzed using Ervin‑Tripp’s (1976) classification system. The results revealed that imperatives constituted most directive types (50%), followed by question directives (18.57%), hints (16.43%), permission directives (13.57%), and need statements (1.43%). No embedded imperatives were produced. The participant consistently employed telegraphic speech and failed the ToM test, indicating an inability to attribute false beliefs to others. From a neuropragmatic standpoint, these patterns – dominance of imperatives, absence of syntactically complex forms, and telegraphic reduction – suggest a delayed neurocognitive trajectory resembling that of typically developing children aged 2–6 years rather than intentional noncompliance. The findings imply that inclusive education practices should incorporate neuropragmatic awareness to better interpret and support the communicative intentions of adolescents with ASD.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the extent to which long-term residence influences intercultural communication challenges among Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 11 participants who have resided in Taiwan for more than 10 years, focusing on their experiences in both workplace and social contexts. The findings indicate that prolonged residence does not necessarily reduce intercultural communication difficulties; instead, these challenges evolve over time. Persistent barriers remain in areas such as religious practices, language proficiency, food-related customs, and nonverbal communication, whereas relationships with employers tend to improve due to increased trust and familiarity. Participants also demonstrate various adaptive strategies, including seeking clarification and negotiating meaning, engaging in cultural learning, and participating in local cultural activities, reflecting their active role in managing cultural differences. Overall, intercultural communication competence is better conceptualized as a dynamic and continuous process shaped by interaction, lived experience, and structural factors, rather than length of stay alone.
