Abstract

This research analyzes the exorcism dialog in the film The Pope's Exorcist (2023), especially the prayers uttered by the main character in the exorcism ritual. The purpose of this research is to describe the speech acts elements in the exorcism prayers using Austin's (1962) speech acts theory which includes locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary, so as to explain whether the utterances in the exorcism prayers are constative or performative according on their respective characteristics. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with pragmatics analysis approach. Data in the form of exorcism prayers excerpts were analyzed based on the three main elements of speech acts. The results show that locutionary act reflect the typical structure of general prayers and exorcism prayers in the Catholic Church's faith. Illocutionary act function as commands, requests, and declaratives that reflect the spiritual authority of the exorcist. While perlocutionary act have an impact on demon and the possessed individual. Overall, exorcism prayers tends to be performative in nature as it not only conveys meaning (constative), but also acts visibly in the context of religious rituals. This research contributes to the study of pragmatic linguistics in religious-horror films and provides insight into the use of language in the context of religious rituals, especially in the case of exorcism.

Abstract

The Bangka Malay language, which is a Malay-Polynesian language family, has dialect variations with heterogeneous sub-dialects within it, and one of them is Sungailiat dialect. The purpose of this study is to focus on documenting prosodic features of Sungailiat dialect as one of the dialects in Bangka Malay language. This research is a qualitative research with research stages applying phonetic experiments using a practical phonetic and phonology approaches developed by Collins and Mess (2019). Prosodic features include speech intensity, duration, and intonation. Data collection was carried out through a process of observation, interview, and recording of respondents who are native speakers of the Sungailiat dialect. The data were processed by using voice analyzer software Praat version 6.3.03 to obtain accurate measurements of intensity, duration, and intonation. The results of the analysis show some variations in lexical entries, particularly from the elder informants. Intensity is marked by the oscillation of intensity contours and the frequency densities since the speech flows in co-articulation effect. That means that the adjacent vowels or consonants interchange to form the speech dynamics. Speech intonation in Sungailiat dialect is identical with accentuations of initial syllable, particularly when addressing someone. Imperative mood is prone to be in offering form rather than in command. In speech duration, elder informants are likely to show the whole prosodic variables particularly, as in the flow of their speech in higher pace, and more accented points in intonation contours. Interference of culture in daily communications is believed to shape Sungailiat dialect as it is shown in the prosodic analysis.
