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.

Abstract

Teenage slang is often considered a unique form of social expression that reflects youth group dynamics, socialization processes, and identity formation. Teenagers' use of informal language is not only a communication style but also a symbol of group membership, resistance to standard norms, and a response to cultural changes influenced by globalization. This study aims to analyze the forms and functions of teen slang, explore its role in shaping teens' social identities, and examine how globalization influences its forms and uses. The research design follows a phenomenological approach, emphasizing teens' lived experiences and their own perspectives on slang. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a sociolinguistic perspective complemented by elements of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to attend to the ideologies and representations embedded in youth language, data were collected from social media interactions, online conversations, and mass media texts. The findings indicate that teen slang consists of slang innovations, acronyms, loanwords from English, and expressive phrases unique to teens. These linguistic practices serve to strengthen group solidarity, express modern identities, and highlight generational differences. The study concludes that teen slang is not only linguistic variation but also a sociocultural practice that shapes teen identity in the era of globalization. In this regard, teen slang in Indonesia embodies adolescents' adaptability, creativity, and resilience in facing complex social realities, bridging local traditions and global influences.

Abstract

The research found that a great number of second-semester students of Pharmacology at Bali Dwipa University have problems with English equitation. The phenomenon triggered the researcher to teach English with the ADDIE teaching model. This research would like to explore the advantages and disadvantages of ADDIE application in English learning at Pharmacology from a Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) perspective. This research uses a qualitative case study to combine SFL and ADDIE theories in English teaching and learning.  The research uses fifteen second-semester students of the Pharmacology Program, Bali Dwipa. Year 2025/2026. The research shows that ADDIE has positive impacts for teaching and learning English realized with advantages and disadvantages. From Field point of view, the advantage is that students can practice directly and get training from the teacher.  However, the disadvantage can be seen from different language typologies. From tenor point of view, the advantage can be found in the high social interaction between the teacher and the students. From Mode point of view, one of the advantages can be seen from the use of both Indonesian and English. The result of this research gives a positive contribution to teaching and learning and SFL, so teachers can use ADDIE in appropriate subjects. The result of this research is expected to be able to be used as an applied linguistics reference for the following research.

Abstract

Women’s institutional participation can become an object of metapragmatic evaluation concerning communicative efficiency, speaking behavior, and appropriateness. This study examines how women’s participation was evaluated and contested in the controversy surrounding Yoshiro Mori’s 2021 remarks about women and institutional meetings in Japan. It asks how participation was evaluated, what norms and gendered social meanings were indexed through these evaluations, and how the evaluative categories were subsequently contested and redirected toward Mori’s own discourse and institutional position. The study employs qualitative sociopragmatic documentary analysis of ten publicly available documents covering 3–24 February 2021, comprising six core and four contextual materials. Metapragmatics provides the primary analytical framework, supported by indexicality and language ideology, while face and repair are used specifically to interpret the apology sequence. The analysis shows how women’s participation was associated with meeting duration, competitive speaking, and a reported orientation toward speaking-time regulation. In contrast, particular women were positively evaluated when their speech was represented as concise, focused, and bounded. This evaluative distinction was subsequently contested through #wakimaenaionna #わきまえない女, after which attention shifted toward Mori’s own discourse and institutional position. The study contributes to sociopragmatics by showing how gendered conditions of legitimate institutional participation can be constructed through successive evaluations and contested through recursive shifts in the object of evaluation. The findings are interpreted within the evidentiary limits of the documentary corpus.

Abstract

Children’s emergency calls are high-risk institutional encounters in which fear, limited communicative ability, and the need for rapid response occur simultaneously, yet the interactional participation of child callers in actual 911 conversations remains underexplored. This article examines how operators and child callers organize emergency talk and how conversational structures support the production of usable information under conditions of emotional pressure. The analysis draws on three selected 911 calls from the True 911 Calls YouTube channel involving callers between 4 and 12 years old. The age range is treated as a descriptive characteristic of the data rather than as a single developmental category; each call is examined as an individual interactional case before recurring patterns are identified across the data. The recordings were transcribed using Jeffersonian conventions and analyzed through Conversation Analysis, focusing on turn-taking, adjacency pairs, sequence organization, preference organization, and repair mechanisms. The findings show that the calls remain institutionally organized despite hesitation, emotional expressions, and incomplete responses. Adjacency pairs are the most prominent pattern, followed by preference organization, turn-taking, repair mechanisms, and sequence organization. These practices enable operators to obtain, clarify, and organize emergency information while accommodating children’s interactionally displayed difficulties. Future research should compare different developmental age groups and combine Conversation Analysis with interactional sociolinguistics to examine broader social and institutional contexts.
