Pragmatic Perspective on Phatic Functions and Language Dignity

Abstract

This paper means to elaborate phatic functions and language dignity of the Javanese culture-based society in Indonesia by using the Pragmatic perspective. The unclear rules of language functions, including the rules of Indonesian phatic functions, and the incomplete descriptions of language dignity will result in improper development of the language . The case seemingly happened in the Indonesian language including its dialects and vernaculars. Therefore, the researcher conducted this research to overcome this matter. There were two data collection methods used in this study, namely the observation method and the interview method. Each method was implemented through its basic and advanced techniques. The substantial source of research data was the excerpts of utterances delivered by Javanese speech community members. The process of data collection ended when the researcher finished classifying and typifying data. There were two kinds of data analysis methods used in this study, namely the distributional analysis method and the equivalent analysis method. The research result asserted that there are seven phatic functions found in the Javanese culturebased society in Indonesia, nemely: (1) joking function, (2) complimenting function, (3) apologizing function, (4) rejecting function, (5) avoiding function, (6) affirming function, and (7) reminding functions. Besides, the research result also asserted that the efforts to dignify the Indonesian language cannot stop when the linguistic rules are described in terms of linguistic definitions. The linguistic rules intertwining with the language uses as shown in the pragmatic phenomena need to be promoted continuously

Pragmatic Meanings of Javanese Phatic Marker ‘Sampun’: Culture-Specific Pragmatic Perspective

“…Teaching context of pragmatics to Indonesian students must not be merely conceptbased but should be research-result based (Bintari & Sumarlam, 2019). By doing so, the develop-ment of students' pragmatic research competence will be pacing better and better in the future (R. Kunjana Rahardi, 2019).…”

Konteks Eksternal Virtual Dalam Pragmatik Siber

“…Dengan tanpa pertimbangan yang matang dan mendalam, kadang kala orang cepat-cepat memencet tombol dalam telepon pintar itu sehingga dalam sekejap saja pesan dan berita itu sudah akan menyebar ke seluruh dunia. Jangkauan saluran yang semula hanya sangat terbatas dan bersifat lokal sesuai dengan sifat dan karakteristik dari peranti salurannya, tetapi di dalam pragmatik siber ini, keterbatasanketerbatasan itu tidak lagi muncul (Rahardi, 2019b).…”

Triadic Functions of Situational Context of Hate Speeches: A Cyberpragmatic Perspective (Fungsi-Fungsi Triadis Konteks Situasional Tuturan Kebencian: Perspektif Pragmatik Siber)

“…The triadic meaning of the situational contexts and other types of contexts in pragmatics has not been addressed extensively (Battistella, Mey, & Asher, 2006). In the author's observation, the notion of meaning triadicity is discussed at a glance in Wijana and in Rahardi (Rahardi, 2019)including the rules of Indonesian phatic functions, and the incomplete descriptions of language dignity will result in improper development of the language . The case seemingly happened in the Indonesian language including its dialects and vernaculars.…”
