Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing the language style used by Otto in the film A Man Called Otto. The researcher used language style theory by Martin Joos who classifies language style into five styles, which are frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casual style and intimate style. This research uses qualitative research as the method and a sociolinguistic approach. In collecting data, the researcher watched and read both film and the transcript, marked the related data, and then collected the data based on theory. The findings indicate that Otto frequently used casual and intimate styles in his interactions, while formal and consultative styles appeared less often. These results suggest that Otto tends to communicate in a more relaxed and personal manner, especially with people he feels close to which can be seen when Otto communicates with his friends who have close relationships with him. But when Otto talks to a person who does not have close relationship with him, he has difficulty expressing what he wants to convey in communication, which causes misunderstanding due to the use of wrong language styles.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types of directive speech acts represented by the main characters in the film Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). This study applies the theory of directive speech acts proposed by Searle and Vanderveken (1985). The purpose of this research is to examine the directive speech acts used by the two main characters, Deadpool and Wolverine. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The research data consist of utterances taken from the characters dialogues in the film, analyzed using Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices (IFIDs). The data were collected by watching the film, reading the script, and identifying as well as categorizing the utterances. Based on the analysis, the researcher identified thirteen of directive speech acts out of twenty-four examined in the theory. These types include request, ask, urge, tell, demand, command, order, forbid, prohibit, suggest, warn, advise and beg. The results show that command is the most frequently used directive speech act, which indicates that the main characters often employ directives to assert control, express urgency, and influence actions within interactional situationsKeywords: Linguistics, Pragmatics, Speech Act, Directive Speech Act

Abstract

This study examines a speech delivered by Abdul Mu'ti, Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, on behalf of the Government of Indonesia at UNESCO’s 43rd General Conference on 4 November 2025, using the social practice dimension as the analytical framework. The data consist of the official speech manuscript. The analysis relies on close analytical reading of the speech to connect language choices and statement content with institutional legitimacy, diplomatic norms, and Indonesia’s position in global governance. The findings indicate that the use of Bahasa Indonesia functions as a normal and accepted part of the UNESCO forum, not simply as a ceremonial or symbolic language act. In this context, Bahasa Indonesia is used as a practical language for official communication and is maintained across the speech’s substantive sections. The speech builds credibility by referring to education as a right, presenting enrollment figures, and naming policy programs, presenting Indonesia’s actions as aligned with global goals while keeping a formal diplomatic tone. It also places Indonesia within UNESCO-related fields beyond education, including science, the environment, culture, and communication, and follows common diplomatic routines such as expressing gratitude and showing solidarity. The closing use of an Indonesian cultural form, pantun, fits the formal setting, showing that cultural expression can be present in an international forum without undermining official authority.
