Abstract
This research investigates request strategies in the Javanese community and the influence of the ± Power (±P), ±
social Distance (±D), and ± Rank of imposition (±R) on the use of request strategies. The data were collected through Discourse
Completion Tasks (DCTs) and analyzed according to Blum-Kulka et al. (1989). The results
show that in the (+P+D+R) context, requests tend to be expressed indirectly. This is influenced by the (+) which is attached to
all the variables. In the (−P−D−R) context, requests tend to be expressed directly. This is influenced by the (−) which is
attached to all the variables. In the contexts of (+P+D−R), (+P−D+R), (−P−D+R), and (−P+D+R), there is a tug-of-war between the
(+) and (−). However, the influence of the (+) appears to be stronger than the (−). Therefore, in these contexts requests are more
likely to be expressed indirectly rather than directly.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the International Journal of Language and Culture (IJoLC) is to disseminate cutting-edge research that explores the interrelationship between language and culture. The journal is multidisciplinary in scope and seeks to provide a forum for researchers interested in the interaction between language and culture across several disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, applied linguistics, psychology and cognitive science. The journal publishes high-quality, original and state-of-the-art articles that may be theoretical or empirical in orientation and that advance our understanding of the intricate relationship between language and culture. IJoLC is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. Topics of interest to IJoLC include, but are not limited to the following: a. Culture and the structure of language, b. Language, culture, and conceptualisation, c. Language, culture, and politeness, d. Language, culture, and emotion, e. Culture and language development, f. Language, culture, and communication.
