This study is motivated by the status of Surah Yusuf as ahsanul qashash, which has special characteristics in terms of balagah, particularly the use of kinayah to convey sensitive narratives in a polite manner. This study aims to identify the classification of types of kinayah and reveal the pragmatic functions behind their use in the text. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with heuristic-semiotic analysis techniques, where the primary data is sourced directly from the verses of the Qur'an. Surah Yusuf predominantly uses kinayah 'an al-maushuf to refer to certain entities or positions in order to maintain the dignity of the narrative, in addition to the use of kinayah shifah and nisbah to describe the emotional turmoil of the characters. Functionally, this style of language plays the role of ihtiraz (preventive), mubalaghah (emphasis of meaning), and ta'dzim (respect). The implications of this study confirm that the use of kinayah is not merely linguistic aesthetics, but a medium of moral education that promotes polite interpersonal communication and is relevant to contemporary Islamic ethics.

This research is motivated by the low pragmatic competence of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students, which is shown by the high rate of pragmatic failure (65%) and learning participation (40%), as well as the lack of contextual teaching materials. The purpose of the research is to identify learning barriers, then design, and test the initial impact of pragmatic teaching material innovation based on local wisdom through language play methods. With the Design-Based Research (DBR) approach involving teachers and students of MI in Central Java, data was collected through interviews, observations, and document studies, and then analyzed thematically. The results of the study revealed three main obstacles: (1) non-contextual teaching materials, (2) limited methodological skills of teachers, and (3) low student motivation. As a solution, "PRAGAMALOKA" teaching materials were developed that transform the values of local wisdom (tepo seliro, gotong royong) and traditional games (dakon) into the core of pragmatic learning scenarios. The limited trial showed a significant increase in student engagement and positive response. This study concludes that substantive integration between local content, pragmatic goals, and play methods is the key to creating authentic and meaningful learning. Implicitly, this development model can be adopted to design other contextual teaching materials, with recommendations for further experimental tests to measure their comparative effectiveness.

According to Yule in (Pragmatics, 2006:43) presupposition is the speaker's assumption before speaking to the person he is speaking to as an action that produces speech. The aim of this research is how presuppositions in illocutionary speech acts prohibit based on the procedures in the area studied. The theory used in this research is Yule's presupposition theory and is supported by Leech's pragmatic semantic theory. The method used is communication ethnography. Data collection was carried out using the bush and talk method. The data that has been collected is then processed using categorical, descriptive and distributional methods. In this study, the types of speakers were based on age, namely children, teenagers and adults. This research also uses six types of presuppositions. The way to speak when forbidding is based on sound, namely in a soft voice, low voice and loud voice. Apart from that, the prohibition procedure can also be based on its form. Based on the form, there are forms with words, without words and mixed. Then when the speech is delivered it is also explained according to the situation. There are two situations, the situation of oneself and the situation of many people.

Presuppositions are one of the topics of pragmatic semantics. This presupposition is the speaker's assumption of the speaker. This presupposition is present in every speech act and is often encountered. As in the illocutionary speech act of boasting (TTIM), people usually use TTIM to brag about themselves and to exalt themselves. There are several types of assumptions or presuppositions, one of which is factive presupposition. This presupposition exists every time a speaker performs the illocutionary speech act of boasting. This factive presupposition is always present in everyday activities. The theory used is the presupposition type theory from Yule (2006). Meanwhile, for speech act theory, Ibrahim (1993) is used. Based on this research, a total of 6 types of factive presuppositions were found in the illocutionary speech act of boasting in Karang Jati Village, Pandaan District, Pasuruan Regency by dividing the types of factive presuppositions based on general illocutionary speech acts based on their purpose which was divided into 6 types. The types of general illocutionary speech acts based on their purpose are crossed with 3 types of miter speech responses.

The film “Hati Suhita” released in 2023 is an adaptation of the novel by Khilma Anis. Because it is set in an Islamic boarding school causes the film to have dialogues that are thick with politeness. However, this does not deny that the film also contains conversational implicatures. The aim of this study is to describe the forms of conversational implicatures found in the film “Hati Suhita” and explain how the process of violating the principle of cooperation and the principle of politeness can cause the emergence of implicatures. This study uses two approaches, namely a theoretical approach with pragmatic studies and a qualitative descriptive approach as a methodological approach. The data collection method uses the listening method with advanced techniques, namely the proficient free-involved listening technique and note-taking technique. Based on the 736 speech data from the film “Hati Suhita”, 63 speeches containing conversational implicature were found. The details of the implicature are 26 implicatures caused by the violation of cooperation principle and 37 implicatures caused by the violation of politeness principle. The thimble violation that creates the most implicature in the film is the violation of the thimble of agreement maxim. In addition, no violations of the thimble of modesty maxim and the thimble of obligation of S to O maxim were found in the analyzed data. Hopefully, this research can reveal the implied meanings in the dialogue between the characters in the film Hati Suhita.
