Abstract

Abstract  Few realize that swearing is not always used to express negative emotions. It can also be utilized to convey positive feelings, such as compliments. Swearing in compliments is a phenomenon identified on X, the social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter. The purpose of this study is to examine the pragmatic meaning and the pragmatic function of racial swearing in compliments on X. This study is classified as descriptive qualitative research. The data of this study consisted of racial swearing in the compliment utterances on X. The observational method was used to gather the data. In the meantime, the data were analyzed using the identity method by referring to the theories of Hughes (2006), Kreidler (2002), Ljung (2011), and Spears (2000). The results of the data analysis are presented by using informal method. The study's findings demonstrate that the racial swearing in compliments on social media X has the pragmatic meaning of ‘guy’. In addition, it has pragmatic functions as noun supports and anaphoric use of epithets. As a noun support, the racial swearing was used to assist the compliment word, which was usually in the form of an adjective. On the other hand, as the anaphoric use of epithets, the racial swearing was used as an anaphoric pronoun, a pronoun that refers back to another noun in the utterance. It is anticipated that this study would lessen the misunderstanding that Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students may have when interacting with other English speakers on social media X.

Abstract

This descriptive-qualitative research is a comparative linguistic study that applies Qualitative-Comparative Analysis (QCA), which compares Minangkabau and Korean languages in the scope of phonology. The data for this research are of the two languages' sound units, phonemes, and words. The data sources were eight informants who were active speakers of the Minangkabau and Korean languages. Data were extracted through digital interviews by applying the listening method and the derivative of the participatory observation method through recording and note-taking techniques. The note-taking technique was conducted through the transcription method, which includes orthographic, phonetic, and phonemic transcriptions that utilize the IPA alphabet as a transcription standardization. This research focuses on finding the natural similarities and differences in the two languages' consonant, vowel, and diphthong phonemes to assist Minangkabau speakers in learning Korean. The study results show that Minangkabau and Korean languages have a series of similarities and differences in vowel, consonant, and diphthong phonemes. The similarities found are that these languages share the same five vowels, three diphthongs, and 10 consonants. The differences are that the two languages construct different distribution patterns and correspondence of consonants. In contrast, in the Minangkabau language, the voiced and voiceless sounds are of two different phonemes, while in Korean, they are of the same phonemes. In addition, there are also differences in the correspondence and distribution of consonants in various positions in the word.
