Abstract

This article deals with discourses of littering prohibition signs found in various places in Indonesia, focusing on three main issues, i.e., discourse structures, pragmatic strategies, and sociocultural factors which might influence that structure and strategy. Using data collected from websites and those found in Yogyakarta Special Regency, with a socio-pragmatics approach, the research finds that littering prohibition signs are constructed by various kinds of discourse type whose complexities are formed by the sentence types and the number of sentences constructing by them. Regarding the pragmatic strategies, the signs can be delivered using non-explicit, direct, indirect, expressed, implied, literal and nonliteral strategy. Subsequently, those structures and strategies are influenced by sociocultural factors associated with the interlocutors, such as emotional condition, religious and cultural belief, education, the formality of interaction, place and time, ethnicity, age, medium of transmission, cultural entity, and political factor.       Keywords: Discourse, prohibition, strategy, and socio-pragmatics.

Abstract

Culture as the basis of speech acts can encourage the speaker and the listener to realize their goals in communication activities. The reasons are that culture can make listeners want to hear more about the speaker's information, can be media for listeners to illustrate the implicature, and can make them respond quickly. However, no specific research describes the culture, implicature, and response in the illocutionary speech acts to realize the effectiveness of communication. Based on this problem, it is important to do further research. The first purpose is to describe the illocutionary speech acts in Ustaz Salim A. Fillah's lecture video, especially in the Culture edition. The second purpose is to describe how culture, as part of illocutionary speech acts to realize the effectiveness of communication. The research used a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis data technique refers to the four simultaneous processes by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which consist of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion. Speech acts are found to consist of assertive (identification, prediction, or description), directive (invocation, suggestion, or instruction), commissive (something is a must be conducted), expressive (expression of feeling), and declarative (acknowledgment of status or condition). All of those speech acts can make listeners want to hear more information, to be media to illustrate the implicature, and make them easier to remember the utterance of Ustaz Salim A. Fillah speech acts.

Abstract

An expressive illocutionary speech act is a speech in which a speaker expresses his thoughts and feelings of being thanking and apologizing. Usually, one utterance conveys one meaning, but in this research, one sentence has two to four additional meanings. This phenomenon came from elements outside the sentence that affect the presence of the additional meaning. The aim is to present the indication that one utterance can have more than one meaning and expand the theory of illocutionary speech acts. This research used a qualitative method to examine the role of context in these additional meanings. Vanderveen & Macqueen's list of performative verbs (1990) is a guide in analyzing 96 data to determine the role of context. The result shows that some data have multiple senses of expressive speech acts. There are two, three, or four meanings in one sentence. To praise one is the most common speech function found. When admiring someone, the speaker also announces his agreement and offers something in the future. The many tasks of praising found in the data show the author of this children's novel to set an example for readers, especially children, to respect others with more than one meaning.

Abstract

Although politeness strategies are widely used in various types of conversations, e.g., formal emails, business, hotel conversations, movies, and others, few works have dealt with politeness strategies in academic conversations. This study attempts to shed light on the use of politeness strategies in academic conversations and to relate these strategies to the relationship between the interlocutors: whether they have the same specialization or not. The study mainly draws on Brown and Levinson's positive politeness strategies and applies them to conversations. The data was collected by downloading conversations from a MOOC entitled "Corpus Linguistics: methods, analysis, interpretation," created by a team of corpus linguists at Lancaster College. It applies both a quantitative and qualitative approach to analyze the strategies. The results show that exaggeration tops the list of strategies with 23 utterances (23.5%) when the interlocutors have the same specialization. This indicates that each scholar has distinctive insights that another scholar only appreciates with the same specialization. When interlocutors have different specializations, the hierarchy of politeness strategies differs, albeit to some extent. Expressions of approval ranked first, with 11 expressions (25.0%). This indicates that a scholar with little knowledge about a branch of knowledge almost agrees with the specialized speaker.

Abstract

This research aims to explore Directive Speech Acts in the novel The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This research used a descriptive qualitative method by employing literary pragmatics analysis. The object of this research was the utterances of the main characters in the novel's dialogue. The data were collected by reading the text closely, observing the dialogue in the text, note taking and highlighting the directive speech acts, coding and classifying the types of directive speech acts, then analyzing and interpreting the types of directive speech acts based on the theory proposed by Searle. There are five types of Directive Speech Acts found in this novel: asking, commanding, requesting, prohibiting, and advising. The data finding has shown that the highest type of asking is 160 utterances or 48,94 %. It is shown by Jim (a slave nigger), who always asks Huck Finn about everything. The second is commanding, with 112 utterances or 34,25%. The next type is requesting, with 28 utterances or 8,56%. Prohibiting has 18 utterances or 5,50%, and advice has the lowest portion, nine utterances or 2,75 %. The novel's directive speech acts play different functions, including asking for information and confirmation, asking someone to or not to do something, and suggesting. It also shows that directive speech acts such as asking, commanding, prohibiting, requesting, and advising have been influenced by social relations between the interlocutor, including social distance and social power.

Abstract

This research has an objective to analyze and reveal the benefits of flouting the relevance maxim of Hillary Clinton's speech in the 2016 USA candidate presidential debate. The data consist of the debate transcript which was taken from the Washington Post website, and a video that could be watched on YouTube. They are analyzed by confirming the relevance of semantic answers to every question within the context of speech. In the end, there are nine findings of the benefits of flouting the relevance maxim, which consists of increasing positive self-impression, avoiding giving direct agreement to a sensitive issue, closing potential negative attacks, decreasing the rival's credibility, guessing truthfulness, beating the rival's credibility, increasing effort to show positive personal credibility, telling the rival's past negative history, and proposing indirect conclusion. The findings are the implication of the complex use of verbal speech that is combined with action. The formal situation of the debate supports the maximum benefit of every flouting relevance maxim. The main conclusion of this research is that flouting the relevance maxim only sometimes negatively impacts both a speaker and an interlocutor. The impact is influenced by complex factors such as the background of the occasion, past conditions, and passion for an interaction.

Abstract

This qualitative research on Cyberpragmatic attempts to explore the application of politeness and impoliteness principles in student-lecturer internet-mediated communication in English and Indonesian languages at two faculties of Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Salatiga. The native speakers' perceptions of those strategies and principles as applied in the online chatroom were also elicited to confirm the descriptive analysis of the utterances. Pragmatic data were taken, categorized, and selected from Whatsapp conversation and email correspondence screenshots between lecturers and students in eight (8) online English Language classes and six (6) classes on Ushul Fiqh subjects at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Salatiga. Additionally, as demonstrated in the screenshots, an online questionnaire was used to elicit data on students' and lecturers' perspectives on the cyberpragmatic activities. The descriptive analysis shows that the students considered the principles of politeness as a prominent aspect of their communicative actions and managed to appropriately applied it in their cyberpragmatic activities. Additional pragmatic features of religious expressions were also used to amplify the politeness effect. Nevertheless, there were some cases where impoliteness principles were used by the students, regardless of their awareness of their pragmatic consequences. The acceptability judgement questionnaire confirmed the level of politeness and impoliteness strategies previously described. Consequently, future research may benefit from this study by exploring other aspects of cyberpragmatics such as ethnicity, gender, and other socio-political aspects, from interdisciplinary perspectives.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the types of impoliteness strategies used in Putin's speech at the annexation ceremony. All of Putin's speeches were intentionally delivered to cause damage to the hearers' negative and positive faces. Culpeper's (2011) classifications of impoliteness, which consist of five strategies that are the opposite of politeness, were adopted. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses have been used to accomplish the study objectives. Putin mostly used the negative impoliteness strategy, directly attacking the West and their policies. Furthermore, he considered his authority to be higher than Kyiv and the West, and for this reason, he insulted, belittled, blamed, and accused them. In several texts, he used "bald on record" in a direct, concise, and clear tone when he talked to the President of Ukraine and his elites. The two remaining strategies, positive impoliteness and mock impoliteness, were rarely used. This work contributes to understanding the messages that Putin tried to convey and analyzes them politically.

Abstract

Deixis in English is a phenomenon of understanding words and phrases by considering contexts and actual speech action. Second learners can employ the pragmatic deixis in various literary works or other media dimensions to comprehend the Meaning of words and utterances. Hence, this study attempted to know the types of deixis in King Charles III Inaugural speech. The researchers obtained the transcript from the New York Times and analysed it using descriptive research to explore and explain the deixis types in the speech in more detail. The writers used Cruse’s (2000) theory to indicate the five types of deixis. The data revealed that all types of deixis occurred in speech, including person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. The type of deixis that appears most often is person deixis, with a percentage of 71%. Meanwhile, the deixis that appears the least is social deixis, with a percentage of only 3%. The spatial and discourse deixis each have a percentage of 9%, followed by temporal deixis with a percentage of 8%. The result of this study is likely to enrich second learners of English's knowledge and vocabulary of pragmatic studies, primarily the phenomenon of deixis.
