Prof Jumanto getting along with Michael Haugh, Brown & Levinson

The 19th International Pragmatics Conference (IPrA 2025) was successfully held at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, from 22 to 27 June 2025. The conference brought together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss the latest developments in pragmatics—the study of language in use and communication in social contexts. With the theme focused on language, interaction, and global diversity, the event featured keynote lectures, plenary sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and hundreds of parallel paper presentations covering areas such as discourse analysis, conversation analysis, sociopragmatics, intercultural communication, applied linguistics, cognitive pragmatics, and new directions in pragmatics research. 

The conference served not only as a forum to present cutting-edge research, but also as an international networking hub that fostered interdisciplinary collaboration between academics, educators, and graduate students. Participants also enjoyed various cultural and academic exchange activities, including campus tours and an official conference reception showcasing Australian hospitality. The success of IPrA 2025 reaffirmed the conference’s role as a major global platform for advancing the understanding of language in real-world interaction.

Abstract

This study deals with wangsalan found in Javanese song lyrics with attention focus on their communicative functions and deliverance strategies. By using very small amount of data of Javanese songs exploiting wangsalan, it is found that this traditional formula are mainly functioned to convey directive, expressive, and representative functions, and seems not specifically be used to express commisive, question, and let alone declaration functions. Declarative functions are exploited to convey command, advice, and prohibition. There are various strategies used by the speakers in exploiting wangsalan. Those are implicit, direct, indirect, literal, and expressed strategies. Explicit, non-literal, and implied strategies are rarely used because they will unease the addressee comprehend the intention formula.

Key terms: wangsalan, traditional formula, communicative function, and deliverance strategy

The study is not only limited to micropragmatics but also in macropragmatics that concerns to language use in sociocultural (Chen, 2020, p. 10). The studies of pragmatics keep exploring in teaching academic writing (Harwood & Hadley, 2004), ESL of classroom talk in a High School (Talmy, 2010), and discursive power and dominance (Melefa et al., 2014). The studies are called critical pragmatics. The critical pragmatics studies try to investigate language use not only in what it is but in what language it is as well. The paper aims at describing analysis models in critical pragmatics. The research methodology applied descriptive qualitative to comprehend the use of analysis models. Analysis model in critical pragmatics applied analysis approach which combined pragmatics study and other study, they are (1) pragmatics, critical pragmatics, and critical in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), (2) conversation analysis (CA) and Fairclough critical discourse analysis (CDA), (3) analysis critical pragmatics in the framework of Fairclough critical discourse analysis (CDA), (4) pragmatics and critical discourse analysis (CDA), (5) critical discourse analysis (CDA) and pragmatics, and (6) critical issues in language use in works of pragmatic phenomena to find ideology.

Abstract

This paper examines IMRAD, synthesis, and hedging within expert academic writing to encourage a world discussion platform and to enhance manuscript writing for internationally reputable journals. The research utilized 25 Quartile-1 Scopus-indexed articles from 25 scholarly journals from 2022 and 2023 publications across different subject areas. Through online searching, observation, and interpretive techniques, the patterns of IMRAD, its synthesis, and the use of hedging within the synthesis were analyzed and identified as crucial elements for creating a manuscript that serves as a world discussion platform. Based on the systematic observation and interpretation of the 25 data sources, the research findings were discussed across three aspects: the IMRAD pattern, synthesis, and hedging. The findings revealed that symmetrical IMRAD patterns were rarely employed by authors of Quartile-1 Scopus-indexed journals, with various patterns being applied and the largest proportion focusing on different aspects. Synthesis was utilized by all authors of the 25 journal articles, and hedging or cautious language was used by most authors. Authors worldwide may benefit from the results of this research when writing manuscripts to be submitted to internationally reputable journals. Additionally, academic writing teachers can use the proposed interpretive model and research results to teach expert academic writing to their students, thus enhancing the quality of student academic writing and enabling the publication of their papers in internationally reputable journals.
