Abstract

Gender and language is a topic that continues to be relevant among scholars. This study examines the influence of gender on communication styles in a debate uploaded on Youtube titled “Can 25 Liberal College Students Outsmart 1 Conservative? (feat. Charlie Kirk)”. The research is guided by Deborah Tannen’s theory of report talk and rapport talk. This research focuses solely on the first premise about abortion. The participants include five female and three male students, along with Charlie Kirk. Qualitative content analysis was  used, with the dialogues transcribed and manually coded. The results align with the generalization that men often use report talk, while women lean toward rapport talk. However, the findings also reveal that both genders can switch styles depending on the situation. This study highlights the role gender plays in shapping communication strategies during debates. Although the sample size and analysis duration are limited, the findings offer valuable insights into gender communication in formal settings.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian political discourse on X (formerly Twitter), focusing on public reactions to the government's Nutritious Food Program (MBG). It explores how netizens deploy rudeness strategies to articulate political views, grievances, and ideological stances. Data were collected via purposive sampling of ten public comments from the @salam4jari account on MBG-related posts. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the analysis applies Culpeper's impoliteness framework, encompassing updated categories (affective, coercive, entertaining) and classical ones (bald on record, positive, negative, sarcasm/mock politeness, withhold politeness). Findings reveal users frequently venting anger, dissatisfaction, or humor through direct verbal aggression, sarcasm, and emotional outbursts. Affective impoliteness appears in emotionally charged attacks, coercive in forceful demands for policy shifts, and entertaining in amusing yet degrading insults. The lack of withhold politeness suggests open rather than covert dissent. Overall, impoliteness serves as emotional catharsis and a tactic for bolstering group identity, wielding power, and challenging dominant narratives. This research enriches insights into digital communication in polarized contexts, underscoring the sociocultural dynamics of online linguistic behavior.
