Abstract

A cross-cultural pragmatics exploration, particularly in multicultural and multilingual settings like Indonesia, is important for understanding language used within a cultural framework. In the comparative study, Banjarese and Javanese languages are particularly underrepresented. Thus, the research investigates and compares complaint strategies that the Banjarese and Javanese use. The current study used a qualitative approach and the Discourse Completion Task (DCT), consisting of eight scenarios, to gather the data. The study consists of 50 participants, 25 Banjarese and 25 Javanese participants, ranging in age from 18 to 60 years old. The findings of the study found that Banjarese and Javanese participants utilise mostly the same strategy, namely dissatisfaction (DS) and request for repair (RR), and prefer to avoid conflict with the interlocutors. However, Banjarese participants typically prioritise immediate resolution, whereas Javanese participants prioritise expressing their dissatisfaction first. The research highlights the significant influence that cultural context has on complaint strategies and communication.

Abstract

The emerging trend of using first name as a register to address a specific kind of social and linguistic behaviour has been getting more common. This phenomenon is related to a linguistics process that is known as enregisterment (Agha, 2003). The current study examines the enregisterment process of the name "Nurul" into a characterological figure and how it intersects with the language and social ideologies among the Indonesian youth on the social media platform X. The study employed a qualitative content analysis, with the data taken from posts that contain the word "Nurul" from the platform X. Furthermore, the data was analysed with critical discourse analysis (CDA) and feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA). The result of the study finds that “Nurul” is said to be a religious girl but has a hypocritical nature to the name which does not reflect the Islamic values. "Nurul" functions as a critique of sexism and patriarchal conventions. However, it also underlined the possibility of gender stereotypes and marginalising women.
