Abstract

This study examines the communicative functions of instructional utterances in doctor–patient interactions at the Pain Clinic of RSUD Genteng Banyuwangi. It specifically aims to identify how healthcare professionals use instructional utterances to guide and coordinate patients during clinical encounters. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from audio-recorded doctor–patient consultations and analyzed according to the contextual function of utterances, with particular attention to the distinction between instructional utterances and directive speech acts. The findings identified four communicative functions: (1) regulating patients’ bodily actions and positions, (2) managing patients’ emotional states, (3) providing treatment-related instructions and medical restrictions, and (4) managing procedural flow and patient participation. The findings also show that instructional utterances are not limited to direct commands. Some utterances function as procedural announcements that orient patients to ongoing or forthcoming clinical activities. Moreover, a single utterance may perform multiple functions simultaneously, particularly bodily and emotional regulation. The study concludes that instructional utterances constitute a broader, context-dependent communicative construct than directive speech acts. They serve to coordinate patient behavior and organize clinical activities throughout different stages of the medical encounter.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how state officials’ language of power is constructed and conveyed in online news media in reporting the National Education Facility Revitalization policy and its supporting programs. This study employs a qualitative approach with a critical descriptive design, using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which examines textual practices, discursive practices, and social practices. The data consist of news articles published by national online news portals, selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that: (1) at the textual level, power is constructed through three strategies, namely the use of technocratic diction, the legitimation of governmental authority and its right to exercise power, and the presentation of quantitative targets to create an impression of objectivity within the discourse; (2) at the level of discursive practice, political elites control discourse resources, resulting in the media primarily functioning as a channel for reproducing the government’s discourse, while community groups are marginalized and their perspectives on the actual conditions in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas receive limited representation; and (3) at the level of social practice, the discourse reinforces a top-down policy structure shaped by the ideology of developmentalism. Therefore, the discourse surrounding the policy in online media functions as a means of legitimizing the government’s role and shaping public acceptance, while simultaneously limiting the visibility of critical perspectives and the complexity of conditions at the local level.

Abstract

This study examines the use of children's names as the identity of public business spaces from the perspective of anthroponymy and linguistic landscape in Palangka Raya City. The phenomenon of the use of children's names on shop signs, stalls, restaurants, salons, kiosks, and micro-businesses indicates a relationship between language, family identity, and the socio-economic strategies of local communities. This study aims to describe the use of children's names in public business spaces, explain the social and symbolic meanings behind the choice of these names, and analyze the identity functions that emerge in the urban linguistic landscape. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, documentation, and interviews with business owners. Data in the form of photos of business signs and interview results were analyzed using linguistic landscape and anthroponymy theories. The results show that the use of children's names in public business spaces not only functions as a business identity marker, but also represents emotional values, family pride, future hopes, and business personalization strategies. Children's names become symbols of social closeness that build emotional relationships between business owners and the community. This study shows that the linguistic landscape is not only a visual space of language, but also a space representing family identity and local culture in the economic context of urban communities.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms, formation patterns, and characteristics of Sundanese abbreviations in youth slang variations on social media. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a morphological approach, data were collected through observation of Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), and WhatsApp from September to December 2025, yielding 86 purposively sampled abbreviation data confirmed through unstructured interviews with Sundanese speakers. The results show that Sundanese abbreviations in social media exhibit four dominant forms: acronym, contraction, clipping, and initialism. Acronym formation is the most productive and varied, with six formation patterns identified; the most distinctive is the retention of the final syllable of each component (e.g., nasteung from panas beuteung, hanupis from hatur nuhun pisan), which differs markedly from Indonesian abbreviation patterns that tend to retain initial syllables. Clipping is dominant in kinship terms, while initialism displays a polysemy phenomenon in which a single form carries more than one expansion depending on context (e.g., GWS, STMJ). Beyond communicative efficiency, Sundanese abbreviations function as markers of group identity, vehicles for language play and humor, and as seen in culinary terms such as cireng, cimol, and comro yavidence of the language's creative adaptation in digital communication. This research contributes to Sundanese morphology studies and offers insight into the dynamics of regional-language use in the digital era.
