Abstract

Context plays a crucial role in language use, as it shapes the meaning of text interaction or communication. The exploration of the conceptualization of contexts in contemporary language studies, including cybertextual contexts, has long been debated among linguists. With the emergence of computer-mediated communication, social identity cues within cybertextual contexts have become an important area of inquiry. This research examined cyberpragmatics by analyzing textual environments through a socio-semiotic multimodal lens. Drawing on Leech’s perspective on general pragmatics, the notion of ‘context’ acquires a broader dimension, encompassing the circumstances surrounding digital interactions beyond the immediate social environment. This study employed online observation, expert-based selection, verification, classification, and interpretation to discover the communicative functions of the cybertextual contexts in the digital media environment. Based on a socio-semiotic multimodal analysis of six multimodality cybertextual contexts data, the findings identified six functions of cybertextual contexts: (1) providing background for intent delivery, (2) affirming intent delivery, (3) illustrating intent delivery, (4) shaping intent interpretation, (5) complementing intent conveyance, and (6) describing intent and meaning. Theoretically, this research highlighted the roles of visual, spatial, gestural, and aural contexts within cyberpragmatics. Empirically, this research illustrates the relationship between language and context in digital environments to uncover the evolving nature of communication in cyberspace.

Abstract

This qualitative research on Cyberpragmatic attempts to explore the application of politeness and impoliteness principles in student-lecturer internet-mediated communication in English and Indonesian languages at two faculties of Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Salatiga. The native speakers' perceptions of those strategies and principles as applied in the online chatroom were also elicited to confirm the descriptive analysis of the utterances. Pragmatic data were taken, categorized, and selected from Whatsapp conversation and email correspondence screenshots between lecturers and students in eight (8) online English Language classes and six (6) classes on Ushul Fiqh subjects at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Salatiga. Additionally, as demonstrated in the screenshots, an online questionnaire was used to elicit data on students' and lecturers' perspectives on the cyberpragmatic activities. The descriptive analysis shows that the students considered the principles of politeness as a prominent aspect of their communicative actions and managed to appropriately applied it in their cyberpragmatic activities. Additional pragmatic features of religious expressions were also used to amplify the politeness effect. Nevertheless, there were some cases where impoliteness principles were used by the students, regardless of their awareness of their pragmatic consequences. The acceptability judgement questionnaire confirmed the level of politeness and impoliteness strategies previously described. Consequently, future research may benefit from this study by exploring other aspects of cyberpragmatics such as ethnicity, gender, and other socio-political aspects, from interdisciplinary perspectives.
