Expressive Speech Acts in Gus Miftah's Apology Videos

Sanaz Rachmadi Jonathan

Abstract


This research employed a pragmatic approach to examine expressive speech acts in Gus Miftah's apology video. The types of speech acts of praise, thank and apologized are identified and classified based on the transcriptions of 2 apology videos. Gus Miftah resorts to these expressive acts to express what he then regrets, thanks, and also humbly do, so that the break in relationships or public trust that arises from a controversial statement can be repaired. The responses balance accountability for what he said with a willingness to improve his use of language, in public life as in other areas, to avoid similar stumbles. This investigation considers the critically strategic determinants of the functional utility of language in the effective management of social ruptures, the sustention of credibility and the cultivation of image a particularistic societal spectroscopy for elite public actors.

Keywords
