“…Social Exchange Theory helps elucidate how individuals may exchange linguistic resources, such as language support or translation assistance, within the relationship (Wong et al, 2023). Communication Accommodation Theory, on the other hand, highlights how language proficiency affects accommodation strategies, including convergence, divergence, and maintenance, in response to communication partners' language abilities (Elhami, 2020).…”

In an increasingly interconnected world, the dynamics of relationships are undergoing significant transformations, particularly within multilingual couples where language proficiency plays a crucial role. This review presents a conceptual framework aimed at exploring the intricate interplay between language proficiency and therapy outcomes in such relationships. Understanding the impact of language proficiency on therapy outcomes necessitates a multidimensional approach. Firstly, it requires an examination of the linguistic competencies of each partner within the relationship. Proficiency in multiple languages can influence communication patterns, affective expressions, and the negotiation of conflicts, thereby shaping the therapeutic process. Additionally, cultural factors intertwined with language proficiency further contribute to the complexity of therapeutic dynamics within multilingual couples. Furthermore, this conceptual framework emphasizes the importance of considering the socio-linguistic context in which therapy takes place. The power dynamics associated with language use, including dominance, fluency, and language preference, can significantly influence the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. Moreover, language barriers may hinder the expression of emotions and the resolution of conflicts, posing unique challenges to the therapeutic process. Moreover, the framework underscores the significance of therapist competence in navigating linguistic and cultural diversity within multilingual couples. Therapists must possess not only linguistic proficiency but also cultural sensitivity and awareness to effectively address the unique needs and challenges faced by these couples. Culturally responsive therapeutic approaches, such as multilingual therapy modalities and language mediation techniques, can facilitate a more inclusive and effective therapeutic process. This conceptual framework offers a comprehensive lens through which to examine the impact of language proficiency on therapy outcomes in multilingual couples. By acknowledging the complex interplay between language, culture, and therapy, researchers and practitioners can better understand and address the unique needs of these couples, ultimately enhancing the efficacy and inclusivity of therapeutic interventions.

“…Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) adalah teori yang mendeskripsikan bagaimana individu menyesuaikan perilakunya dalam peristiwa komunikasi satu sama lain agar sesuai dengan konteks sosial yang ada untuk membangun, merawat, atau mengurangi jarak sosial di dalam sebuah interaksi (Giles & Ogay, 2007). Akomodasi sendiri terbagi ke dalam 2 tipe, yaitu akomodasi linguistik dan akomodasi psikologis (Elhami, 2020). Penelitian ini tentu saja berfokus pada akomodasi linguistik.…”

“…Penelitian ini tentu saja berfokus pada akomodasi linguistik. Untuk mengkaji mengenai bagaimana proses akomodasi dalam menggunakan bahasa, penelitian ini akan berfokus kepada 4 aspek penting teori CAT, yaitu Akomodasi, Konvergensi, Divergensi/Maintenance, dan motivasi (Elhami, 2020;Gallois et al, 2005;Giles & Ogay, 2007;Zhang & Giles, 2018). Namun teori CAT ini memiliki sebuah kekurangan, yaitu tidak bisa berdiri sendiri dan membutuhkan teori semacam teori atribusi untuk dapat menjawab secara sempurna upaya akomodasi dalam sebuah proses komunikasi.…”

The use of language in mass media, especially news programs on television, must follow appropriate linguistic rules in order to maintain the values of politeness and appropriateness, as a spectacle for the general public. However, something different happened to one of the news programs broadcast by JTV, namely Pojok Kampung. Corner Village actually has a typical Suroboyoan linguisticcharacter which is considered very rude, impolite, outspoken, vulgar and egalitarian which can be studied from a linguistic perspective, especially euphemisms and dysphemisms. The methodologyused in this research was the collection of euphemisms and dysphemisms in 39 Pojok Kampung news stories. This research finds out how euphemisms and dysphemisms are accommodated in communication, by looking at the attribution process.

“…Такое расширение сделало теорию слишком сложной. Уже в 1998 C.Галуа и Г. Джайлз писали о том, что вся теория не может быть проверена на практике единовременно, поэтому исследователям, Еще один подход к речевой адаптации заключается в том, что она бывает унимодальной и мультимодальной[27]. Суть унимодальной заключается в том, что люди в процессе коммуникации меняют только один аспект общения -к примеру, акцент.…”
