Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms and functions of apologizing as a speech act in everyday communication from a pragmatic and sociolinguistic perspective. Using a qualitative library research method, data were collected from recent scholarly sources and analyzed through the frameworks of speech act theory and politeness theory. The findings show that apologies are influenced by social factors such as power relations, social distance, and the severity of the offense. Apologies are often delivered indirectly, using hedges and softeners to mitigate face threats. This indicates that apologizing is not merely a personal expression of regret, but a strategic act to maintain social harmony.

Abstract

Amid widespread public belief that digital devices symbolize educational progress, this study finds that these tools have instead become one of the most dominant factors contributing to the decline in reading interest among junior high school students. This research aims to analyze the influence of gadget-use intensity on the reading interest of eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 10 Pematangsiantar using a quantitative approach. A total of 126 respondents participated through standardized questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.912 for the gadget-use intensity variable and 0.908 for reading interest). Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine the relationship and the magnitude of influence between variables. The results indicate a very strong negative relationship between gadget-use intensity and students’ reading interest (r = –0.942; p < 0.01), with an influence contribution of 88.7 percent. These findings affirm that uncontrolled gadget use significantly diminishes reading interest, particularly when digital entertainment content overshadows literacy activities. Nevertheless, gadgets cannot be entirely blamed; the negative effects arise from patterns of digital consumption that are not pedagogically guided. This study recommends enhanced parental supervision, school regulations, and the pedagogical integration of gadgets as learning tools so that technology functions as a literacy enhancer rather than a barrier.

Abstract

Most research on directive speech acts and power relations focuses on institutional hierarchies, such as teacher–student or employer–employee interactions. However, attention to how power is constructed in the context of informational asymmetry—specifically where no legitimate social authority exists—remains relatively limited. This study fills this gap by analyzing the film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan (2025), which presents a unique pragmatic situation where a stranger establishes dominance based solely on future knowledge. Using a descriptive qualitative design, this research integrates Searle Speech Act Theory and Fairclough Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings indicate that directive speech acts are the most dominant linguistic feature, used to regulate the interlocutor's bodily habits. The analysis demonstrates that the protagonist applies specific constraints on content to negate or override the interlocutor's agency. The study concludes that, in the absence of formal social status, authority is discursively constructed through epistemic advantage (knowledge superiority), where linguistic coercion gains legitimacy through the urgency of survival. Thus, this research contributes to the pragmatic understanding of power dynamics in high-stakes, non-institutional conflicts.

Abstract

The increasing use of social media as a public communication space has led to the widespread emergence of hate speech, particularly in Instagram comment sections related to government issues. This research aims to analyze manifestations of hate speech through illocutionary acts on the Instagram accounts @presidenrepublikindonesia and @kemensetneg_ri, classify their forms based on the National Police Chief’s Circular Letter No. SE/06/X/2015, and identify the most dominant types found in the data. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach supported by quantitative analysis. The data consists of 200 Instagram comments collected from posts related to public policy and government activities. Analysis was conducted using a pragmatic approach based on illocutionary acts, specifically expressive, directive, and assertive acts as proposed by John Searle, and further classified into categories of hate speech such as insults, defamation, and provocation. The results of the research indicate that expressive speech acts are the most dominant, suggesting that users primarily express negative emotions such as anger, disappointment, and sarcasm. In terms of hate speech classification, insults emerged as the most frequent category, followed by defamation and provocation. Although most of the statements do not fully meet the legal criteria under the ITE Law, they still have the potential to cause negative effects in digital communication. These findings indicate that the line between criticism and hate speech remains unclear among social media users and highlight the importance of understanding language use in a digital context.
