“…If they did, they would have long realised that what they propose is not what the users are doing. Users of these different dialects communicate with ease among themselves, i.e., as a communicative tool from a pragmatic point of view, with no interpreting service needed (Kaburise 2004(Kaburise , 2012. Interestingly, if people speak about borrowing or adapting, South African indigenous languages were supposed to consider sister languages first, as Mafela (2010a) noted, but it seems that Tshivenḓa lexicographers, like other lexicographers and terminographers, for South African indigenous languages, prefer borrowing/adapting from Afrikaans and English.…”

The standardisation process of a language is always a polemic undertaking, and Tshivenḓa is no exception. This article explores the Tshivenḓa dialects and the standardisation process that this language went through. The importance of language as a primary resource for an individual, social identification, and also as a means of learning and communication, cannot be overemphasised. Moreover, when different language varieties come into contact, acculturation is inevitable, i.e., linguistic and cultural elements from both sides will diffuse and “contaminate” each other’s languages and culture. However, this phenomenon is not fully researched, especially among the Tshivenḓa dialects. The lexicographers and terminographers, who are tasked with the development and maintenance of the Tshivenḓa language, seem to be “trapped” in the colonial and apartheid era, i.e., of selecting and elevating one dialect over others to represent a language. Since 1994, the year of the dawn of a democratic dispensation in South Africa, this process has proceeded at a snail’s pace. In this study, a qualitative, ethnographic approach was adopted, and data were collected through telephonic interviews, where six participants were purposefully and conveniently sampled. The findings of this study may benefit speakers of Tshivenḓa, lexicographers, terminographers, and all language practitioners, teachers, and learners. When people value their language and heritage, use it often without prejudice or hesitancy, and practice their culture and traditions, their identity, history, dignity, and heritage become preserved. Tshivenḓa, at the official level, may have many lexical items in its endeavour to carry out its function as an official language in different domains.

This research is a descriptive qualitative research with the approach of Pragmasemantic theory and Speech Act theory. Pragmasemantic theory is basically a theory used to study the use of language based on meanings that take into account the intralingual and extralingual contexts. Mean while, speech act theory is essentially a theory that wants to explain that each utterance always contains three elements, namely locution, illocution, and perlocution. The purpose of this study is (a) to describe the language functions that can be used to campaign for Covid-19 deployment control, (b) describe vocabulary that has touch power and can be used to campaign for Covid-19 deployment control, (c) describe language slogans that can used to campaign for Covid-19 deployment control, and (d) describe persuasive language forms that can be used to campaign for Covid-19 deployment control. Research data sources are students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, S1 and S2 programs which can be reached via online media, email or WA. Research data in the form of words, phrases, sentences that show the function of language, vocabulary that has the power of touch, slogans that can encourage, persuasive language that can persuade speech partners compiled by students. Data collection techniques are carried out by sending instruments via email or WA, then students are asked to fill out and send back to researchers. The collected data is then inventoryed and codified to determine incoming data that is suitable for analysis. The analysis techniques are (1) identifying data, (b) classifying data, (c) interpreting data with the intention of being able to interpret Covid-19 ways of controlling, and (d) preparing reports in the form of journal articles.
