Abstract

This study investigates the use of formulaic expressions in spontaneous informal communication found in a YouTube video titled 50 Cents: 50 Minutes You Can’t Afford to Ignore in a podcast interview format. The focus of this study is to analyze the types, frequencies, and pragmatic functions and meanings of the use of formulaic expressions in conversational contexts based on Celce-Murcia’s Communicative Competence theory (2007) and discourse analysis approach. The identified expressions are then categorized based on four types such as routines, collocations, idioms, and lexical frames. The findings show that collocations are the most frequent expressions in the video followed by lexical frames, routines, and idioms. These results indicate that formulaic expressions, especially collocations and lexical frames, play an important role in maintaining the flow of interaction so that it runs smoothly, naturally, and effectively in the context of informal interaction. This study also highlights how the implications of using formulaic expressions to convey ideas or messages in an easy-to-understand, effective, clear, and interesting way can strengthen the emotional bond between the speaker and the interlocutor or audience. The findings are also in line with several previous studies that have examined the dominance of the use of formulaic expressions in different contexts. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the use of verbal language through digital platforms, provides insight into the use of formulaic expressions in real-life spontaneous interactions, and can be used as a reference for future linguistic research with a focus on digital communication or discourse.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the role of speech acts in fraudulent activities on social media platforms, particularly WhatsApp and Facebook, through a pragmatic framework. The primary goal is to identify the manipulative communication strategies employed by perpetrators to deceive and inluence victims. A qualitative-descriptive methodology was adopted, with data collected from conversation screenshots and communication recordings sourced from victims' case reports in WhatsApp and Facebook (n = 39). The data were analyzed using the speech act theory by Austin and Searle, along with Grice’s concept of implicature. The findings reveal that directive and commissive speech acts are central to the perpetrators' manipulative strategies, often combined with hidden implicatures intended to create a sense of urgency, establish false trust, and foster emotional dependency in victims. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the communicative tactics used in social media fraud. Ultimately, this research offers valuable insights into the dynamics of online deception, highlighting the importance of enhancing digital literacy and advancing strategies for cybercrime prevention. This study also provides a foundation for further research on communication patterns in digital fraud.
