Abstract

This study explores the use of speech act theory within the use of framework multimodal pragmatics to analyze the dialogues in Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024). Focusing on the five main key of speech act categories such as assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. The researchers investigate how these speech acts can make a character development, make an interesting narrative plot, and character relationships. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research examines not only the verbal content of the dialogues but also the multimodal aspects such as body language, facial expressions, and tone, which work in order to reinforce and enhance the intended meanings. Through this approach, the study highlights the dynamic connection between verbal and non-verbal communication, revealing how speech acts influence the film’s emotional elements, such as loyalty, power, and emotional intensity. The findings demonstrate how speech acts drive plot advancement while also offering deeper insights into character motivations and emotional states. By using this multimodal framework, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of how pragmatic meaning is carried in cinematic dialogues, offering a valuable contribution to film studies and pragmatics. Ultimately, this study showcases the potential of combining multimodal pragmatics with speech act theory to enhance the analysis of modern action films and their intricate communication strategies.

Abstract

This study examines how university students from rural backgrounds adapt linguistically and culturally after moving to the urban environment of Medan, Indonesia. As these students transition into city-based academic settings, they face the complex task of balancing their cultural roots with the demands of urban life. Guided by Berry’s (2001) Acculturation Theory, this research explores how students navigate issues of identity, language use, and cultural integration. Data were gathered through questionnaires completed by 22 students who had spent at least six semesters studying at a public university in Medan. Through thematic analysis, the study uncovered various adaptation strategies. Most students adopted an integration approach, successfully blending their native language and traditions with urban norms. Some displayed assimilation, especially in formal academic settings, while instances of marginalization were rare. These findings underscore the importance of university policies and support systems that are culturally responsive and inclusive—helping students negotiate their identities and adjust more smoothly to diverse academic environments.
