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.
