Abstract

This paper investigates the importance of context in understanding pragmatic meanings. Adopting a literature review approach with an interpretive framework, the study collects data by examining the works of scholars to uncover various perspectives on context. The analysis process involves identifying key theories, organizing the findings, interpreting the outcomes, and composing the journal article. The research identifies 11 key aspects of context that influence the interpretation of pragmatic meanings. The findings highlight the fundamental difference between semantic and pragmatic meaning, emphasizing that pragmatic meaning is always shaped by context. Therefore, it concludes that pragmatic meaning is heavily dependent on extra-lingual factors.    Keywords: context, interpretive approach, extra-lingual factors, pragmatic meaning.

Abstract

This study investigates speech acts and pragmatics in Indonesia’s multilingual and multicultural settings, focusing on how linguistic diversity and cultural norms influence communication strategies. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, ethnographic observations, and discourse analysis involving participants from various cultural backgrounds, including Bataknese and Sundanese communities. The study examines requests, apologies, and refusals, exploring how these speech acts reflect cultural values and adapt to different social hierarchies and contexts. The findings highlight that Bataknese speakers often use direct language, emphasizing clarity, while Sundanese speakers prefer indirectness and elaborate politeness to maintain harmony. Code-switching emerged as a significant strategy, allowing participants to navigate linguistic and cultural boundaries effectively, often shifting between Indonesian, local languages, and English depending on the audience and context. Additionally, in digital communication, pragmatic strategies evolved with the use of emojis, formal expressions, and explanations to ensure clarity and respect. These results underscore the dynamic and adaptable nature of pragmatic competence in multilingual and multicultural contexts, offering insights into the interplay of language and culture. This research contributes to the broader understanding of communication in diverse settings, providing valuable implications for intercultural interactions in education, business, and social integration Keywords: Speech act, Pragmatic, Multilingualism, Cultural Norms
