Abstract

Small talk is commonly understood as a form of phatic communication that maintains social relationships rather than conveying essential information. This study re-examines its role in generating humor, showing how it fosters closeness among characters and refreshes conversational dynamics. Drawing on the concept of phatic communion and supporting theoretical perspectives, the research analyzes verbal and nonverbal elements in everyday interactions within The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020). The findings indicate that gestures and small talk contribute to humor in spontaneous exchanges while reinforcing social bonds. Moreover, the study highlights how exaggerated body movements and explicit verbal expressions serve as mechanisms for building social closeness and producing humor in the film. Future research could expand this study by comparing the use of small talk in other animated series or in real-life interactions. This would provide a broader understanding of how humor functions in everyday communication.

Abstract

This study examines morphological formations that fill syntactic structures and influence contextual meaning, making them essential in constructing educational messages in public service advertisements (PSAs). It aims to describe these formations and identify their patterns in shaping educational meaning. The study is grounded in a morphosyntactic-contextual framework focusing on educational meaning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using documentation for data collection and the distributional method for analysis. The data consist of grammatical structures in PSAs published by the Traffic Police Unit (Satlantas) of Bangkalan Resort Police. The findings reveal two main points. First, morphological formations in PSAs are produced through affixation (prefixes, confixes, and suffixes) and function syntactically as Subject (S), Predicate (P), and Adverbial (Adv.), forming the core grammatical structure. These forms represent subject states, actions, targets, and contextual conditions. Second, educational meaning patterns emerge through affixation: (1) forms with me(N)-, di-, ber-, and me(N)-i express motivation, awareness, and positive habits; (2) suffixes -kan and -i convey persuasive or imperative meanings; and (3) ke-an constructions reflect self-awareness. Thus, this study enriches micro-linguistic analysis, enhances insights into morphology and syntax, and provides a basis for linking micro-linguistic analysis with broader contextual elements.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the criticizing speech act strategies employed by beauty vloggers in makeup product reviews on social media. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative method with a sociopragmatic approach. The data consist of utterances containing criticizing speech acts produced by beauty vloggers in makeup review videos uploaded on YouTube and TikTok. The data sources were obtained from the channels of Affi Assegaf, Suhay Salim, Fatya Biya, Lifni Sanders, and Kiara Leswara, as well as the TikTok accounts of Reizuka Ari and Jovi Adhiguna. Data were collected by downloading the videos, transcribing the utterances orthographically, and classifying them based on Nguyen’s criticizing speech act strategies and Blum-Kulka’s speech act components. The findings reveal that beauty vloggers employ two major criticizing strategies, namely direct and indirect criticism. Direct criticism is expressed through explicit negative evaluations of product features, while indirect criticism is conveyed through mitigated expressions such as comparisons, suggestions, or compliments used as balancing devices. Furthermore, the criticism sequences demonstrate a recurring pattern consisting of pre-criticizing, main criticizing, and post-criticizing stages, which function to maintain politeness and interpersonal rapport in social media communication. These findings indicate that beauty vloggers strategically balance evaluative judgments and politeness considerations when delivering criticism to their audiences.

Abstract

This study investigates how language represents ideology and power in President Prabowo Subianto’s 2025 state speech delivered before the Annual Session of the Republic of Indonesia’s MPR/DPR/DPD. Using a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional model and van Dijk’s socio-cognitive framework, the study examines textual structures, discursive practices, and social practices within the speech. The results reveal that the linguistic composition of the speech exhibits a strong ideological bias toward nationalism, economic sovereignty, and social justice. Historical references, metaphors, religious language, and populist expressions served as rhetorical tools, combining to create a rhetorical arsenal that crafted legitimacy and closeness to the people. The speech positions corruption, economic dependency, and serakahnomics as common enemies while promoting UUD 1945 as the foundation of political and economic ideology. This study contributes to understanding Indonesian political discourse by showing how language functions to legitimize power, shape public perception, and construct national identity. The study found that political language in modern Indonesia blends technocratic, populist, religious, and historical discourse into hegemony. It is suggested that more research be conducted on Indonesian presidential speeches.

Abstract

This paper examines the quality of translation of Affect by Google Translate on tourism texts from the Department of Culture and Tourism of Semarang website. This study explores Affect because it has been mostly studied in literary texts such as novels and films, and the translation and realization of Affect have barely been studied in tourism discourse. In addition, since tourism texts are of a domestic and an international nature, the translation of evaluative meanings must be taken into consideration. This study examines how Google Translate retains Affect in tourism promotion texts through appraisal analysis, translation techniques, and translation quality evaluation. The objective of this research is to identify the types of Affect, the translation techniques used, and the quality of Affect translation. Following that, as a descriptive qualitative study, linguistic and translation data are taken, analyzed through Spradley’s componential analysis. The results show that (1) Satisfaction, specifically pleasure, accounts as the main type of Affect, thus tourism texts develop pleasurable experiences for the purpose of drawing in tourists; (2) established equivalent is the key translation techniques, which highlights Google Translate’s practice of maintaining evaluative meanings by traditional lexical equivalence; and (3) the Affect has a high translation quality (average score of 2.99), confirming it is accurate, acceptable and can be understood despite one less acceptable translation produced. These results extend the research of appraisal theory to the discourse of tourism and provide empirical evidence indicating strengths and limitations of Google Translate for preserving evaluative meanings in bilingual tourism literature.
