“…The three ethnic groups have been interacting across cultures for hundreds of years. When people from different cultures have conversations in multilingual public spaces, they are faced with having to choose a language (Hänggi, 2022;Hariyanto et al, 2023). And, in that district, the three ethnic groups chose the Malay language.…”

The cross-cultural communication of ethnic Malays, Akit, and Chinese in Selatpanjang City is very interesting to study because it reveals communication patterns and degrees of harmony (Dewi et al., 2023; Murni, 2021). This study of cross-cultural interactions contains a variety of problems, ranging from those that have a personal effect to those that have a social impact. This study focused on the language characteristics implied in cross-cultural communication between ethnic Malays, Akit, and Chinese in Selatpanjang City. This study aims to explain the characteristics of ethnic Malay, Akit, and Chinese by analyzing their ability to convey verbal messages and ethnic characters. This research design is in a qualitative form that aims to describe, explore, find, reveal, and explain the aspects studied holistically. Data collection is carried out through in-depth observations and interviews. The data is analyzed with steps that include reduction, categorization, description, analysis, discussion, and inference. Based on the results of the research and discussion above, several conclusions can be drawn. First, the language characteristics of the three ethnicities are influenced by their respective socio-cultural backgrounds. Second, the cross-cultural communication between the Malays, Akit, and Chinese ethnicities shows the character of their respective ethnicities.

The present study addresses the implicit monolingual bias in our understanding of polar question-answer sequences by examining them in bilingual conversation. Drawing upon a corpus of naturally-occurring conversational data amongst native Spanish-English bilinguals in the southwestern United States, I target and explore the ‘fit’ between polar questions and answers in this community of practice. In this report, I focus specifically on the dimension of language (non-)concordance between particle answers and the questions they address. Evidence is offered that speakers produce response particles that are concordant with the language of the question as the pragmatically unmarked answer format, whereas response particles that are non-concordant with the language of the question (i.e., ‘code-switched’) are marked, produced agentively and for cause, routinely indexing an emergent stance that is at variance with the terms established by the question. Some possible avenues for future comparative work on the expression of agency in question-answer sequences are explored in the Conclusion.
