Abstract

Language is a communication tool that is used by people to express their thoughts both in oral and written form. Likewise, Javanese is the language of everyday communication used by the community, especially Javanese ethnic, both spoken and written. The data of this study is Javanese language used in printed media (Javanese magazine). This study is limited to the description of aspects of Javanese speech acts used in the corner discourse. Corner discourse consists of two parts, namely news and flicks. Also, the language in corner discourse implies direct and indirect speech acts. The research objective is to describe the types of speech acts, functions, and discourse markers in Javanese corner discourse. To analyze it, a pragmatic approach is used with methods and techniques proposed by Sudaryanto (2015). The theories used are discourse and speech acts from Baryadi (2002) and Herawati (2015). The findings of this study reveal the types of speech act functions that imply command, namely ordering, suggesting, requiring, advising, ensuring, hoping, reminding, and denying. In these functions, there are discourse markers (lingual units) that mark them, such as buktekna, lebokke, ora perlu, togne wae, ora papa, kudu, ora perlu, aja mung, mesthi, pancen, jebul, kudu waspada, muga, muga-muga, and dudu. The findings suggest that discourse markers can provide certainty in the context so that they may narrow or limit any possibilities of speech acts performed.
