Abstract

The naming system for Javanese is an impressive tradition performing the Javanese culture and identity and has historically been the case in Javanese culture. The goal of this study is to identify and describe the name patterns of Ngincep citizens from 1900s to 2023, to investigate the cultural factors influencing the naming system of Ngincep residents, and to expose individual attention in the naming system as well as to map the language shifts. This research employed ethnographic and interactive models, each of which was implemented by participant observation and interviews. Additionally, sociolinguistic, ethnolinguistic, and onomastic approaches were also involved in this study. This study was located in Ngincep, a village in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province. The data suggest that Javanese people's naming system in Ngincep was significantly affected by social classes, as discovered by Geertz, from the beginning of the 1900s to several decades later. However, the advancement of technology has recently changed this system, as evidenced by the number of words in names and the propensity of groups or individuals in naming children. The reason behind this phenomenon is also supposedly coming from the long-standing flexibility in the naming system for Javanese society, in general, and Yogyakarta Palace servant members, in particular, who are assigned as a part of their responsibilities to preserve Javanese culture and language, one of the cultural products.

Abstract

In everyday communication, speakers often rely on indirect expressions whose meanings must be inferred from context, making conversational implicatures a key element in understanding how language functions beyond its literal form. This study investigates how conversational implicatures function as tools for negotiating power and identity in cross-cultural communication, as portrayed by the main characters in Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum’s Purple Hearts (2022). Guided by a sociopragmatics perspective, the research examines how implicit meanings in dialogue both reflect and shape interpersonal dynamics between Cassandra Salazar, a liberal musician, and Luke Morrow, a conservative U.S. Marine. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, analyzing 56 utterances drawn from the film’s subtitles. Findings reveal that particularized conversational implicatures (PCI) are the most dominant type, followed by generalized conversational implicatures (GCI) and scalar implicatures (SI). These implicatures serve not only to convey hidden meanings but also to express sarcasm, resistance, politeness, vulnerability, and emotional tension. The results demonstrate that implicatures are central to power relations, with Luke often using them to subtly assert institutional authority, while Cassandra employs them as acts of resistance and identity assertion. Over time, their communication shifts from conflict to adaptation, showing how cultural differences—liberal versus conservative worldviews, expressive versus restrained styles—both complicate and enrich cross-cultural interactions. This study contributes to sociopragmatics research by highlighting how cinematic discourse embodies ideological conflicts and identity negotiation, and how conversational implicatures facilitate cultural convergence in cross-cultural relationships.
