Abstract

This study aims to describe the perceptions of the Bugis Village community regarding the maintenance of the Tialo language and to examine the role of the government and relevant stakeholders in its preservation efforts. As one of the regional languages in Central Sulawesi, Tialo faces a decline in usage driven by the dominance of the Bahasa Indonesia, and low interest among the younger generation. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The sample consists of 250 respondents selected through a non-probability sampling technique. The findings indicate that while the community holds a positive perception regarding the importance of maintaining the Tialo language, its usage remains predominantly confined to the older generation. Meanwhile, the government's role in supporting language preservation is still considered low.

Abstract

This study specifically describes the forms of directive speech acts and the implementation of politeness strategies by the grade III C teacher at YPPK Kristus Raja Dok V Bawah Elementary School in mediating verbal bullying conflicts. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on pragmatics, data in the form utterances were collected through the observational method and note-taking technique, and then analyzed using the pragmatic identity method. The results indicated that the teacher produced directive speech acts in the form of commands, prohibitions, and assertive-directive hybrid utterances to demand behavioral changes. These reprimands were implemented through a depersonalized Bald On-Record politeness strategy, as well as positive politeness and off-record strategies during personal mediation sessions. The selection of these linguistic strategies served to mitigate face-threatening acts toward the students. The orchestration of these pragmatic tactics created an effective perlocutionary force; it successfully dismantled the perpetrators' defensive attitudes, prompting reflection and mutual forgiveness.
