Abstract

Directive speech acts are commonly used to influence behavior, but they are not always expressed through direct commands. In many contexts, directive meanings are conveyed indirectly through declarative or interrogative structures, requiring interpretation based on context. This indirectness is particularly characteristic of motivational discourse, where authors seek to encourage behavioral change while maintaining a persuasive and non-authoritative tone. Rather than issuing explicit instructions, motivational texts often guide readers through explanations, evaluative statements, and reflective questions. This study investigates the realization of directive speech acts in Atomic Habits by James Clear. Drawing on John Searle’s speech act theory, the analysis focuses on sentence types, modes of realization (explicit and implicit), and pragmatic functions. The data consist of 525 sentences or clauses identified as conveying directive meaning, analyzed using qualitative pragmatic interpretation and descriptive quantitative methods. The findings show that directive speech acts are predominantly realized through declarative forms, followed by imperative and interrogative structures. Indirect (implicit) directives occur more frequently than direct (explicit) ones, indicating the importance of subtle persuasive strategies in motivational writing. Pragmatically, these directives mainly function to advise, instruct, and invite reader reflection. This study contributes to pragmatic and discourse studies by demonstrating how motivational texts systematically employ indirect directive strategies to promote voluntary behavioral change. It also provides a more nuanced understanding of how directive force operates beyond imperative forms, particularly in persuasive self-improvement discourse.

Abstract

This study examines how local communities interpret news about the Mount Semeru eruption on social media. It argues that disaster news constructs meaning through language, visuals, and framing, rather than merely conveying facts. Media portrayals often dramatize disasters, creating a gap between media representations and local experiences. While existing studies tend to focus on media production or textual analysis, this research positions affected communities as active agents in meaning-making. In doing so, it addresses the limited scholarship on community-based disaster reception in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with residents of Sumber Mujur Village, Candipuro District, Lumajang Regency, East Java, following the eruption (January–February 2022). The analysis is guided by Stuart Hall’s encoding–decoding framework to explore how communities interpret and respond to disaster news. The findings identify three decoding positions. First, a negotiated reading of the “Rumini died beside her mother” report, where the event is accepted but the emotional framing is questioned. Second, a dominant-hegemonic reading of the “house intact from the eruption” report, interpreted through religious values as a symbol of hope despite its simplification of the disaster. Third, an oppositional reading of the “Semeru lava can cause a tsunami” report, which is rejected as hyperbolic, geographically inaccurate, and potentially panic-inducing. This study demonstrates that community reception is not passive but actively negotiates media meaning within local socio-cultural contexts. It extends encoding–decoding theory by grounding it in disaster communication at the community level in Indonesia, and highlights the importance of context-sensitive, non-exaggerative, and victim-centered reporting.

Abstract

This comparative study examines the representation of ecological violence and the function of environmental silence in Jejak Balak (Traces of Logging) by Ayu Welirang and Supernova: Partikel (Supernova: Particle) by Dee Lestari within Indonesia’s structurally driven deforestation crisis. Literature not only reflects ecological degradation but also shapes its meaning through narratives that simultaneously expose and obscure violence against forests. Using an interpretive qualitative approach grounded in ecocriticism and informed by political ecology and the concept of slow violence, this study analyzes how ecological meaning is constructed in the two novels. The findings show that Jejak Balak depicts forest exploitation explicitly through socio-economic conflicts, while Supernova: Partikel renders ecological crisis in a more reflective and spiritual mode. In both texts, the marginalization of forest voices and long-term ecological impacts reveals environmental silence as a key narrative mechanism. This study advances ecocritical scholarship by demonstrating that environmental silence is not merely an aesthetic absence but a structuring principle that shapes how ecological violence is perceived and potentially normalized. It concludes that contemporary Indonesian literature contributes to the formation of ecological ethics through both representation and silence.

Abstract

This research examines Laurie Halse Anderson’s Chains as a counter-narrative to dominant representations of the American Revolution as a universal project of freedom. It employs Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and a qualitative textual analysis approach. This study explores how the novel reconstructs slavery as an ideological structure that shapes and limits the meaning of revolutionary liberty. The findings show that Chains constructs a genealogy of slavery as a foundation of the American Revolution and represents freedom as a selective and racialized political project. Slavery is portrayed as a system of human commodification that is transnational in nature and legitimized by law and colonial economic practices. Racial stereotypes operate ambivalently by dehumanizing enslaved people while simultaneously opening spaces for agency and resistance. The character Isabel is represented as a rational subject who can read, interpret, and appropriate the discourse of freedom for self-liberation. This article concludes that Chains critically and ethically reconstructs the memory of the American Revolution beyond the boundaries of the nation-state.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the environmental ideology embedded in WALHI’s ecological disaster press releases through transitivity analysis. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in ecolinguistics within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The data consist of press releases on ecological disasters in Sumatra published by Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (WALHI). Data were collected through observation and documentation techniques. The collected data were analyzed in four stages: (1) clause segmentation and numbering; (2) identification and classification of process types; (3) identification of participant roles and circumstantial elements; and (4) interpretation of ideological patterns based on recurring configurations of processes and participants. The findings indicate that relational processes dominate the transitivity patterns, followed by material, existential, verbal, mental, and behavioral processes. The environmental ideologies identified in WALHI’s ecological disaster press releases include: (1) environmental ideology: those in power are responsible for environmental destruction; (2) environmental ideology: rejection of power practices in elite regulations; (3) environmental ideology: justice in resisting systems of power; (4) environmental ideology: the government must be responsible for environmental damage; and (5) environmental ideology: transparent enforcement of legal policies.
