Abstract

Cross-cultural pragmatics highlights how utterances convey meaning across different cultural contexts, yet studies integrating assertive speech acts within this framework remain limited. This study investigates the assertive speech strategies of the Russian and Ukrainian Ambassadors to Indonesia in a BBC News Indonesia interview concerning the Russia–Ukraine conflict. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the data were drawn from interview transcripts, identified through note-taking, and analyzed inductively based on speech act theory and cross-cultural pragmatics. The findings show clear differences in the functions of assertive speech acts between the two ambassadors. The Russian Ambassador predominantly employed statements to express his country’s perspective and to defend Russia’s position, while the Ukrainian Ambassador, representing the victimized side, relied more on affirmations to emphasize Russia’s aggression. Despite the absence of explicit lexical markers, functional patterns of assertive utterances were identified from the speech context. This study contributes by filling a gap in research on assertive speech within cross-cultural pragmatics and provides insights into how cultural and political backgrounds shape diplomatic discourse.

Abstract

The Batak and Ambonese ethnic groups are often perceived as distinct from other Indonesian communities due to their expressive communication style. Among them, the use of swearing is considered a normal part of social interaction, whereas members of other ethnic groups may perceive it as inappropriate. This study aims to identify the realization and types of swear words in the Batak language (Toba dialect) and Ambonese Malay within non-formal and family contexts, as well as to reveal the implicatures underlying these swearing speech acts. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data consisted of swearing utterances collected from family and informal situations through direct interviews and the Discourse Completion Task (DCT) method. The DCT questions were designed to elicit implicatures embedded in the use of swearing. The findings indicate that both Ambonese Malay and Batak Toba contain swearing terms categorized into animals, objects, body parts, kinship, supernatural beings, activities, professions, states, and interjections. However, Ambonese Malay exhibits a greater number and variety of swearing expressions than Batak Toba. The implicatures found across both languages mainly convey annoyance, anger, and disappointment. In some cases, swearing without referents functions as a conversational diversion as well as an emotional outlet.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Padelegan Village, Pademawu Sub-district, Pamekasan Regency, East Java. The main objectives are to identify the potential forms of local wisdom in Padelegan Village, to explain how they are practiced by the community, and to formulate a community-based management model rooted in local wisdom. Local wisdom represents a system of life values passed down from generation to generation through religion, culture, and customs. Among several cultural traditions in Padelegan, this study focuses primarily on the rokat tase or Petik Laut (sea offering) ceremony. This tradition symbolizes the community’s gratitude to God and functions as a medium for social cohesion and environmental awareness. The research employs a qualitative descriptive design with an ethnographic approach using observation and interviews as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that Petik Laut serves as a form of local wisdom that strengthens community solidarity, preserves marine ecology, and holds potential as a basis for sustainable coastal resource management.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of affixation errors and the factors that cause these errors in the comments section on the AM YouTube channel. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data are obtained from four selected videos on the AM YouTube channel that representatively reflect various comment patterns made by users. The data were collected by identifying and classifying incorrect uses of affixation found in the comments section. The results of the study show that the misapplication of affixes includes: (a) omission of affixes, where prefixes such as meN-, se-, and confixes meN-kan, meN-i are frequently omitted; and (b) writing errors, which commonly involve prefixes ter-, meN-, ber-, suffixes -an, -kan, and confixes pe-an, se-nya, and meN-kan. No errors were found in infixes. Furthermore, the factors causing these errors are identified as language user factors, environmental factors, and language-related factors.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the degree of kinship among the Kui, Hamap, and Kamang languages spoken in Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The investigation employs a comparative historical linguistic approach and the lexicostatistical method using 200 Swadesh basic vocabulary items. Data were collected through interviews with native speakers and subsequently analyzed to identify cognate vocabulary, calculate the percentage of cognacy, and construct a kinship tree diagram. The findings reveal that the degree of kinship between the Kui and Hamap languages is 18.5%, between Kui and Kamang is 14%, and between Hamap and Kamang is 12%. Based on the lexicostatistical categories, these three languages belong to the same stock, yet exhibit a low degree of kinship. This finding indicates that although the three languages are geographically spoken in neighboring areas, their kinship relations are relatively distant. This study constitutes an initial step toward the reconstruction of a proto-language in Alor Regency and contributes to the classification of the languages in East Nusa Tenggara.

Abstract

This study investigates how coffee shop naming practices in Surabaya function as socio-onomastic acts that negotiate urban identity through linguistic choices. Using a qualitative and document-based approach, the study documented 71 coffee shop names across diverse neighborhoods in Surabaya. Data were analyzed to identify patterns in linguistic structure, language origin, and extra-linguistic factors influencing naming. The findings reveal that coffee shop names are not merely identifiers but strategic socio-onomastic practices that actively construct Surabaya’s hybrid urban identity. The linguistic choices demonstrate continuous negotiation between local rootedness and global modernity—Javanese names index cultural intimacy and authenticity, while English or French names signal cosmopolitan aspirations. References to geography and history further strengthen national belonging distinct from colonial and global identities. This study contributes to the broader understanding of how language, commerce, and culture intersect in Indonesia’s urban linguistic landscape, offering both theoretical insight and practical implications for local branding strategies.
