Abstract

This research explores the collaborative nature of successful conversations between lecturers and students at AKM's English Language Center, using Hymes' SPEAKING theory to understand the social aspects involved. The study employs qualitative methods and a sociopragmatic approach to analyze the data. The findings reveal 123 instances where maxims, principles that guide effective communication, were observed. Among these, 92 instances demonstrated the fulfillment of maxims, 29 exhibited the flouting of maxims, and 2 showed a combination of flouted maxims. Importantly, participants tended to adhere to maxims more often than deviate from them. The dominant maxims observed were relevance (21%), manner (18%), and quality (16%). Conversely, 71% of instances displayed the flouting of maxims, 19% showed violations, and 10% indicated infringements. The study also highlights the social aspects represented by the SPEAKING components. These elements include the classroom setting and morning time (S), involvement of lecturers and students (P), provision of explanations and instructions (E), usage of educational language to establish familiarity (A), striking a balance between seriousness, enthusiasm, and humor (K), oral communication (I), adherence to religious and politeness norms (N), and the presence of dialogues and narratives (G). Overall, the research indicates that the effective functioning of the class can be attributed to the active participation and adherence to cooperative principles by the speech participants.

Abstract

The research entitled "Analysis of Criticism of Newspaper by Jokowi & Joe Biden regarding the Development of Covid-19 in the IDN Times and NY Times Online Media: Cross-Cultural Pragmatic Studies" has two objectives, namely to analyze the functions and criticisms found in the online news articles IDN Times and NY Times and to explain the cultural differences and similarities between Indonesian and American society. This study analyzed ten IDN Times and NY Times news articles using a qualitative descriptive method. The data obtained in this study were through listening and note-taking techniques, because the data in this study were in the form of expressions that contain the function of speech and social criticism. Data validity uses theoretical triangulation. It was found 3 (three) assertive/representative functions in IDN Times and NY Times, 2 (two) commissive functions in IDN Times and 1 (one) commissive function in NY Times, 4 (four) expressive functions in IDN Times and 2 (two) expressive functions in NY Times, 2 (two) declarative functions in IDN Times and 1 (one) declarative function at the NY Times. There were also 3 (three) direct criticisms at the IDN Times and 5 (five) direct criticisms at the NY Times, as well as 2 (two) indirect criticisms at the IDN Times.

Abstract

Due to their content and ways of expression, several speech acts have the potential to threaten the participant's face during an interaction. Mitigating devices can be employed to reduce the harmful effects of these face-threatening acts (FTAs). In this study, the researchers focused on interactions between sellers and buyers in the traditional market in Bukittinggi, West Sumatera, which makes use of the colloquial Minangkabau language. This descriptive qualitative research was aimed at investigating the mitigation functions that exist in buying and selling interactions. In addition, it sought to identify the different types of mitigation strategies used by participants. Research data was collected by recording the exchanges between sellers and buyers. To complete the data, a questionnaire was also handed out to Minangkabau-speaking sellers and buyers in Bukittinggi's traditional market. The data analysis technique used in this study was contextual analysis, which involved evaluating the data that had been collected, recognizing it, and classifying it using the dimensions of context. The result showed that the face of the interlocutor was protected in this purchasing and selling encounter using a variety of mitigating devices. The most commonly used mitigation device is indirect speech. Other techniques, including disclaimers, impersonal constructions, hedges, euphemisms, question tags, and apologies, were also found as mitigation devices used by communicators. The purpose of using these mitigation devices is to carry out mitigation functions such as self-defense, prevention, or repair. Both the buyer and the seller are capable of carrying out all of these functions.

Abstract

Most studies discussed puns in a single language or in a code-switching, which can be understood in the language. This study analyzed different puns, in which the readers can only understand the intention of humour in a different language. It aims to determine the types of bilingual puns, the forms and how to interpret them. It is a qualitative study, and the data were obtained through field and virtual observation. This study found two different types of bilingual puns: English-Indonesian puns (EIPs) and English-Javanese language puns (EJLPs). The puns were written in English but the meaning can only be understood in Bahasa Indonesia or Javanese language. The analysis also showed EIPs and EJLPs are bilingual puns comprising colloquial languages of Indonesian people rewritten in English. Syntactically, both are composed of ungrammatical English word orders with the syntactic forms reflected in Indonesian (BI) or Javanese (JL) languages. The interpretation processes involve word-to-word translation and sound pairing translations. The first technique typically involves: EIPs/EJLPs – word-to-word translation – ambiguity. The second way involves: EIPs/EJLPs – sound pairing translation – sound ambiguity/similarity.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the intercultural communication life of six Indonesian PhD Muslim female students in Australia as transnationals during their first year living caused by English imperialism. English plays an essential role as the first place of language hierarchy in the global connection. Adopting the linguistic imperialism of Phillipson and the identity negotiation theory of Stella Ting-Toomey, this ethnography study tries to uncover questions on challenges in intercultural communication caused by English imperialism: (1) How far is English as linguistic imperialism to their mutual intercultural communication? Moreover, (2) To what extent does linguistic imperialism influence intercultural communication competence? This study is a qualitative approach using autoethnography and interview techniques to obtain data of the self-experience of Indonesian Muslim female doctoral students in Australia. Later, these female students own their 'mindful' knowledge, motivation, and skill to obtain their adaptive, effective, and appropriate strategy in supporting their identity construction's successfulness under the superiority of English.

Abstract

The study attempts to explain and describe the semiotic process and the stereotype about beauty construction in video advertisements. A triadic meaning of semiotics is used to identify and analyze the data, focusing on representamen, object, and interpretant. In addition, this study also uses the theory of beauty stereotypes to identify cultural conflicts in the form of beauty construction in society. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative because the writer collected the data in the form of written words, which produces descriptive information. There are sixteen pictures captured from the "Gak Perlu Curi-curi Lagi Cek" – Clean&Clear Foaming Face Wash video advertisement that was analyzed in this study. The research found that the semiotic elements consisting of representamen, objects, and interpretants appeared in the Clean & Clear video ads. The interpretation of signs in this study shows that women are trapped in a dilemmatic beauty construction where physical appearance is an absolute beauty concept for women. Beauty becomes a stereotype because of the construction made by the advertising media that requires women to have perfect physical appearances: smile, confidence, genetically colored skin, clean, without blemishes and acne.

Abstract

The rise of e-government services has led to an increase in citizens interacting with the government online. However, not much about the nature of citizen complaints on such administrative platforms is known. The few previous studies have shown that due to politeness considerations, Chinese communication is often indirect in power-asymmetrical settings. This study examines citizen complaint posts on an online e-service platform in China, exploring the linguistic directness and politeness of those posts. Using a qualitative method, 300 citizen complaint posts were analyzed, with the findings revealing that: a) traditional markers of politeness were not extensively used in the opening and closing of complaint posts despite their inherently face-threatening nature; b) citizens communicated directly with the government, expressing a high level of directness in complaint posts; c) despite finding (b), complaint components were not in general perceived as impolite. The paper argues that Chinese communication is not always indirect, particularly in online situations where there is a power imbalance. In such cases, citizens sporadically use traditional politeness markers such as politeness strategies, specific types of speech act components, and avoidance of expressions of negative emotions. Interestingly, the study found that citizens focused more on avoiding Component B (i.e. dissatisfaction/disapproval) in complaints and formalizing complaint components, rather than relying on traditional politeness strategies to express politeness. In this online administrative context, direct citizen-to-government (C2G) communication is transaction-oriented and instrumental in nature. This paper provides some insight into Chinese pragmatics and practical guidelines for citizens to make successful and efficient complaints in an online administrative context.

Abstract

Implicature, a fundamental aspect of pragmatics, plays a significant role in effective communication. Investigating the implicature competence in the realm of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, the present paper aims at exploring the relationship between implicature competence and English academic success of EFL students across gender. The study included 60 EFL learners aged between 13 and 22, comprising both male and female students enrolled in Jahad Daneshgahi Department of Foreign Languages in West Azerbaijan, Urmia. To investigate the relationship, a quantitative correlation design was employed, utilizing MCDCT (Multiple-Choice Discourse Completion Test) to measure implicature competence of the students. The results revealed a positive correlation between implicature competence and academic success of EFL students. However, the correlation was more significant in male students than their female counterparts. These findings emphasize the importance of explicit teaching of pragmatics along with other linguistics skills in EFL curricula.

Abstract

This research, entitled " Language Style Found in Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Movie", aims to analyze the language styles and the factors contributing to the variance in the characters' speech styles within the film. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, where data was collected through a thorough analysis of the movie, a meticulous examination of the movie script, and the subsequent identification of language styles and factors based on the characters' dialogues. The analysis is framed within Joos's (1967) theory of language styles and Holmes's (2013) theory of language factors. These styles are noticeable based on speaker context, formality, audience, and conversation setting. The research findings highlight the use of five distinct language styles - frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate - in the characters' dialogues. A variety of factors, such as the participants in the conversation, the setting, the subject matter, and the function of the dialogue, influenced these styles. Furthermore, the predominant language style in the movie is casual, comprising fifteen instances, while the frozen style is represented by only one occurrence. This research thus offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between language style and its influencing factors within the realm of film dialogue.
