Abstract

The presidential debate is a crucial moment in the democratic process, where candidates convey their vision, mission, and work programs directly to the public. This study aims to analyze the form and function of illocutionary speech acts in the Indonesian presidential candidate debate in 2024. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with the theoretical basis of pragmatics, in the category of speech act forms using the theory of Ibrahim (1993), while the category of speech act functions using the theory of Yule (2006). The data were obtained from the transcript of the presidential debate broadcast by the General Election Commission (KPU RI) through the official YouTube channel. This research focuses on three sessions, namely, the first, third, and fifth debates involving the three presidential candidates. The analysis shows that there is a variety of categories of forms and functions of illocutionary speech acts. Among these categories, commissive speech acts are most dominantly used, showing the candidates' efforts to build political commitment and shape their self-image before the public. The findings confirm the importance of the strategic function of speech acts in political communication and contribute to the study of pragmatics and political discourse in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to explore the function of language in traditional rituals and 5-7 year olds' pragmatic understanding of language use. The study used a qualitative approach with communication ethnography method, involving participant observation and in-depth interviews of 20 children aged 5-7 years who participated in traditional rituals in the Osing tribal community, Banyuwangi. Data were collected through audio-visual recordings of children's interactions during traditional rituals, field notes, and interviews with children and traditional leaders. Data were analyzed using the pragmatics theoretical framework. The results showed that children were able to identify and interpret various language functions in traditional rituals, such as declarative (ritualistic), expressive (social identity), and directive (instructional and educational) functions. Children's understanding of pragmatics is reflected in their ability to respond appropriately to ritual expressions and adjust language use according to the customary context. The research findings also reveal the existence of a scaffolding process by adults in facilitating children's understanding of the pragmatic aspects of ritual language. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of traditional rituals in early childhood pragmatic development and highlights the importance of preserving local wisdom as a rich source of language learning. The practical implications of this research include recommendations for integrating elements of indigenous rituals in early childhood education curricula to support the development of their pragmatic competence.
