Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and communicative functions of illocutionary acts employed in President Prabowo Subianto’s address delivered at the 2025 Annual Session of the People’s Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI) and to examine their implications for national education management. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Searle’s Speech Act Theory, the data were obtained from the official transcript of the presidential address and analyzed through systematic classification and interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that representative and directive illocutionary acts dominate the speech, indicating the President’s efforts to assert national conditions, legitimize strategic policy directions, and encourage collective participation, including in the education sector. Commissive acts reflect governmental responsibility and long-term commitment to educational reform and human resource development, while expressive acts function to reinforce moral values, ideological orientation, and emotional engagement with stakeholders. These results suggest that illocutionary acts serve as strategic tools in political communication and leadership discourse. The study implies that understanding speech acts in presidential discourse is essential for education managers and policymakers, as such discourse shapes policy orientation, institutional governance, and the implementation of national education management strategies

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and pragmatic functions of speech acts performed by the character Anxiety in Pixar’s animated film Inside Out 2 and to examine their implications for educational management, particularly in the context of social-emotional learning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Speech Act Theory, the data were obtained from Anxiety’s utterances in the film and analyzed through classification and interpretative techniques. The utterances were categorized based on Searle’s taxonomy of illocutionary acts. The findings reveal that directive and expressive speech acts dominate Anxiety’s language, reflecting its role as a controlling and protective emotion that influences decision-making and emotional regulation during adolescence. Directive acts function to manage behavior and anticipate risk, while expressive acts convey emotional tension, concern, and fear. These results indicate that speech acts in animated films serve as linguistic representations of psychological states. The study implies that understanding emotional speech acts can support educational management practices, particularly in classroom management and social-emotional learning programs, by providing insights into how language shapes emotional regulation, student behavior, and supportive learning environments

Abstract

This study aims to examine expressive speech acts in Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s novel Kembara Rindu and to explore how these speech acts reflect educational leadership and management values within socio-religious contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study adopts a pragmatic framework grounded in Speech Act Theory to analyze selected character dialogues. The data consist of utterances expressing gratitude, apology, praise, complaint, lamentation, and religious wishes, which are examined to identify their types and pragmatic functions within the narrative. The findings reveal that expressive speech acts are predominantly employed to maintain interpersonal harmony, reinforce moral positioning, and construct religious identity. Moreover, these expressive acts function as strategic linguistic tools that reflect core dimensions of educational management, including value-based leadership, ethical communication, emotional regulation, and character formation. Rather than serving merely as emotional expressions, the speech acts demonstrate how language operates as a managerial instrument for guiding behavior, managing social relations, and transmitting educational values. This study implies that literary texts can serve as reflective resources for educational management by illustrating effective communication practices and moral leadership, thereby contributing to the development of character-based and value-oriented educational management models.
