Abstract

This study explores the application of Relevance Theory to the pragmatic stylistic analysis of the Star Wars Original Trilogy (Episodes IV–VI). Using film transcripts as primary data, two researchers conducted a qualitative analysis of the dialogue and narrative elements. By coding for implicature, presupposition, cognitive efficiency, and audience engagement, the study reveals that the films employ subtle linguistic strategies that enhance narrative depth and foster active viewer interpretation. Notable moments—such as Darth Vader’s “Search your feelings, you know it to be true”—demonstrate how implicit meanings are skillfully embedded within the dialogue. The findings underscore the importance of indirect communication in cinematic storytelling and offer a robust framework for further research in film discourse analysis.

Abstract

Online fandom communities represent one of the most dynamic and linguistically diverse environments on social media, where politeness and hostility coexist within the same communicative space. This study investigates the realization of illocutionary speech acts in YouTube comment sections, focusing on interactions within anime fandom debates. Using Searle’s classification of illocutionary acts and Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, the research analyzes 200 comments collected from popular anime-related videos between 2023 and 2024. The findings reveal that expressive and representative acts dominate the discourse, functioning both as strategies of solidarity and as tools of verbal conflict. Politeness emerges through acts of appreciation, humor, and defense of shared fandom identity, while hostility is expressed via sarcasm, ridicule, and impoliteness. The study concludes that the coexistence of these two forces reflects the social negotiation of identity and belonging within online fan cultures.
