Abstract

This study investigates dangerous speech on X (formerly Twitter) within Zimbabwe’s polarized and volatile digital political landscape, where recurring electoral tensions, historical grievances, and online political contestation shape discursive practices with potentially harmful societal consequences. Addressing a significant gap in scholarship on Zimbabwe, the study compiles, defines, and critically analyzes forms of dangerous speech produced by eight key political actors together with their followers representing diverse segments of the country’s political ecosystem. Grounded in a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research employs Susan Benesch’s Dangerous Speech Framework (DSF) as its principal analytical lens, while extending its explanatory reach through linguistic structuralism, critical discourse analysis, and the Integrated Model for Monitoring and Prevention (IMMP). Through syntagmatic and associative meaning analysis, the study examines how dangerous meanings emerge not only from explicit lexical choices but also from historical memory, contextual cues, political timing, and digital affordances specific to X. Findings reveal two dominant categories of dangerous speech, namely Moderately Dangerous and Extremely Dangerous expressions, with the latter encompassing historically loaded terms, militant slogans, and mobilizing hashtags that intensify hostility and create conditions conducive to radicalization over time. The study demonstrates that the dangerousness of speech is profoundly context-dependent and cannot be adequately interpreted outside local cultural, historical, and political realities. In refining the DSF’s treatment of political climate, temporality, and platform dynamics, the research advances the framework’s applicability to contemporary online environments and contributes to broader debates on monitoring, interpreting, and preventing dangerous speech in fragile democracies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms, pragmatic functions, and provocative strategies of religion-based hate speech in contemporary digital Islamic discourse through a forensic linguistic approach. The study employed a qualitative method with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) research design. The data consisted of 30 units of digital utterances collected from social media posts, online comments, and discussion forums containing indications of religion-based hate speech. Data were selected through purposive sampling based on the presence of negative labeling, collective accusations, calls for exclusion, delegitimization, and identity polarization. The analysis focused on speech acts, implicatures, presuppositions, politeness violations, perlocutionary effects, and rhetorical strategies of provocation. The findings reveal that online comments constituted the most dominant data source, accounting for 14 cases (46.67%). Representative speech acts were the most frequently identified category, comprising 11 cases (36.67%), indicating that provocation was predominantly constructed through claims, accusations, and negative evaluations directed at targeted groups. Among the pragmatic features, perlocutionary effects were the most prevalent (30.00%), while delegitimization emerged as the most common rhetorical strategy (23.33%). The study demonstrates that religious hate speech is not always expressed through overtly offensive or abusive language; rather, it often operates through implicit meanings, the construction of prejudice, and appeals for social exclusion.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of competitive gaming has emphasized communication as a crucial strategy in elite tournaments. However, directive speech acts in this high-pressure environment remain largely unexplored in sociopragmatic research. This study addresses that gap by examining the sociopragmatic features of directive speech acts in professional e-sports, using the documentary EVOS Legends: Final M-Series Pertama (M1) as a case study. As findings from a single bounded case, results are specific to this context and should not be generalized to other gaming communities, e-sports titles, or media; this also means the observed patterns may be shaped by the documentary's emphasis on striking, authority-driven exchanges. Spradley's ethnographic framework, comprising domain, taxonomic, and componential analysis, was applied to organize the data and reveal relational patterns across the documentary's narrative stages. A total of 515 directive speech acts were identified and validated through an expert-led Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Taxonomic classification shows register variation shaped by situational constraints: of twenty theoretical directive types, only nine emerged, concentrated in tell (28.74%), order (21.55%), and command (17.09%). Componential mapping ties this uneven distribution to recipient design and shifting urgency within the team's temporary hierarchy; its consistency with the team's documented authority structure suggests genuine register constraints rather than mere narrative artifact. Authoritative roles use direct commands to enforce strategic plans during orientation and evaluation phases, while peers rely on implicit "tell" functions in declarative form during crisis resolution, enabled by a shared mental model (SMM) of game mechanics that lets brief utterances be read as explicit tactical moves. Rather than proposing a generalized model, this study offers a structural account of linguistic compression and cognitive alignment in one elite e-sports discourse, suggesting testable hypotheses for future research, such as whether implicit directives correlate with faster response times in peer-to-peer versus hierarchical exchanges.

Abstract

The increasing use of Arabic vocabulary in Indonesian Muslim society reflects a sociolinguistic phenomenon in which language carries not only communicative functions but also social, cultural, and religious meanings. This study aims to synthesize existing scholarship on the role of Arabic vocabulary in the construction of socio-religious identity and to provide an integrated sociolinguistic interpretation through the perspectives of Social Identity Theory and Bourdieu's concept of symbolic capital. This research employed a qualitative approach using a traditional literature review design. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, conference proceedings, and other relevant publications published between 2016 and 2026. The collected literature was analyzed thematically by identifying recurring patterns related to identity construction, symbolic meaning, and the social functions of Arabic vocabulary across educational, religious, economic, and public contexts. The synthesis indicates that Arabic lexical practices are consistently interpreted as symbolic resources associated with religious affiliation, identity expression, and the representation of Islamic values across diverse social settings. At the same time, the reviewed literature suggests that these symbolic meanings vary according to educational background, religious orientation, institutional context, and local socio-cultural traditions, indicating that Arabic vocabulary is interpreted differently across Indonesian Muslim communities. The contribution of this study lies in providing a comprehensive conceptual synthesis that integrates findings previously discussed in separate contexts, thereby offering a broader understanding of the dynamic relationship between language, socio-religious identity, and symbolic meaning in contemporary Indonesian Muslim society while identifying the need for further empirical research across diverse local communities.

Abstract

This study examines how cultural identity is constructed and represented through social media storytelling in the place branding of thematic villages in Malang, Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to explore how digital narratives shape place identity while reflecting and negotiating local cultural values in online spaces. Thematic villages are conceptualized as socially embedded place brands whose meanings are produced through discourse, symbolism, and community participation on social media. The study recognizes that differences in digital literacy, access to resources, and decision-making authority may influence whose cultural voices are represented. It employs a qualitative critical approach using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework. Data were collected from visual and textual content published on official and community-managed social media accounts of thematic villages in Malang. The analysis focuses on textual features, discursive practices, and broader socio-cultural contexts shaping the production and circulation of digital narratives. The findings show that social media storytelling enhances the visibility and attractiveness of thematic villages by presenting them as creative and culturally distinctive destinations. However, dominant narratives prioritize aesthetic and tourism-oriented representations, often simplifying local cultural practices and values. Cultural elements such as togetherness, social harmony, and local wisdom are highlighted to support branding objectives, while other perspectives receive less attention. Moreover, it reveals a tension between market-driven place branding and the preservation of cultural meanings within local communities. The study contributes to understanding how digital storytelling shape’s cultural identity, place representation, and community-based tourism development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the construction of identity and ideology through multimodal representations in the phenomena of Brave Pink and Hero Green within the digital public sphere, particularly in posts shared on Instagram and Twitter/X. The dataset consists of three social media posts: two from Instagram and one from Twitter/X. Employing a qualitative approach, this study applies multimodal analysis to visual and verbal data collected from social media posts. The analysis is grounded in Kress and van Leeuwen's theory of multimodality, Halliday's metafunction framework, and critical ideology theory to reveal the role of color as a semiotic resource in meaning-making. The findings indicate that Brave Pink constructs an identity of courage that is inclusive, empathetic, and capable of challenging traditional stereotypes of femininity. Meanwhile, Hero Green represents the heroism of ordinary people through narratives of solidarity, sacrifice, and resistance against injustice. The color green functions not only as a marker of the identity of online motorcycle taxi (ride-hailing) drivers but also as a symbol of respect for victims and a representation of criticism toward power relations and the violence experienced by vulnerable groups. These two phenomena demonstrate that color serves not merely as an aesthetic element but also as a symbolic device that frames social narratives, fosters collective solidarity, and becomes a site for negotiating ideological values in digital culture. Furthermore, this study shows that the meaning of color is dynamic and continuously produced through the interaction of multiple modes, including text, visuals, and social context. Therefore, multimodal analysis is essential for understanding contemporary representational practices and the role of color in mediating the construction of identity, solidarity, power relations, and ideology in the digital era.
