Representative speech acts are an important aspect in pragmatics that helps understand the application of speech acts, especially in the context of learning videos on digital platforms such as YouTube. This study aims to provide readers, especially students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education study program, with an understanding of the meaning, various types, and application of representative speech acts contained in the "Pengantar Sastra Indonesia" video on the "Restu Bias Primandhika" YouTube channel. This research sees video not only as a medium of information, but also as a tool that influences the interaction between speakers and listeners. This research uses a pragmatic approach by using a qualitative descriptive method. The data collection technique in this research uses the method of free listening and recording technique, which allows researchers to observe and record speech acts in their original context. The research found 113 representative speeches divided into eight main categories: stating, showing, mentioning, informing, suggesting, explaining, giving examples, and speculating. Of the 113 utterances, there are 16 utterances of stating, 6 utterances of mentioning, 14 utterances of showing, 23 utterances of informing or telling, 17 utterances of suggesting, 18 utterances of explaining, 13 utterances of giving examples, and 6 utterances of speculating. These findings show the various ways speakers use language effectively and persuasively. This study is expected to provide insight for readers regarding representative speech acts and become a reference for further studies in diverse communication contexts.

The accuracy of language in news texts is critical because appropriate language makes it easier for readers to understand. The quality of correct and appropriate language is essential in conveying information that is clear, accurate, and easy for readers to understand. Language errors in news texts can interfere with understanding and affect readers' minds. Therefore, correcting language errors in news texts, especially for junior high school students, is essential as part of the learning process. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of language errors in the news texts studied, using data collection methods, listening and note-taking techniques, and analysis using the agih method. The research used a qualitative descriptive design approach to analyze errors in language use in news texts in the April 2023 Edition of Derap Guru Magazine, which included errors in conjunctions, punctuation, spelling, standard words, capital letters, abbreviated words, and ineffective sentences. Students can improve their language skills by analyzing language usage errors in news texts as teaching materials while deepening their understanding of news texts and effective language use.

This research analyzes the news text on the ISKNEWS.COM online news portal. Then the other purpose of this research is to prove that the news texts in the portal, after being analyzed, are worthy of being used as teaching materials for critical reading for grade XI high school students. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach and a syntactic approach as the theoretical approach. The writer obtained data by reading several related references and recording information that could be used as data. For this reason, reading and scanning techniques were used in this research. The data in this study are news texts from the January 2024 edition of the ISKNEWS.COM online news portal. The data analysis method used is the agih method. The writer analyzes the text by identifying sentences that do not follow the syntax rules and the feasibility of the text as a good and correct news text. The analysis results show several syntactic errors identified, namely sentences with non-standard structures, the use of absorbed words in sentences, ambiguous sentences, inappropriate diction in sentence formation, and the use of words inefficiently. In addition, the news puzzle is proven to be used as teaching material for critical reading for grade XI high school students. This is because the syntactic errors found are still tolerable, and the text has a good structure.

For practical reasons for conducting this research, it was found that many elocutionary speech acts on the Sisi Terang YouTube channel had an animal theme, in the playlist, we found discussions about animal facts. Apart from that, this research was conducted to provide information about things correlated with illocutionary speech acts, which are widel implemented in human life and can classify the form, function, and types of illocutionary speech acts. Qualitative research is included in this research methodology so that it can produce descriptive data. The techniques used in this research are note-taking techniques and pragmatic analysis techniques to produce data. Matched data and collection techniques are also used in this analysis when presented as formal and informal data. Based on the study on the Bright Side YouTube Channel with an Animal Theme in the Form of Locutionary Speech Acts, 62 news sentences, 32 question sentences, and 49 command sentences were found. In addition to being used in this research to analyze the form of illocutionary speech acts on the Animal-Themed Bright Side YouTube Channel, this research also has the benefit of adding new insight into the study of pragmatics, specifically in the use of social media.
