“…Findings showed that 29.2% of birthday wishes were constructed with AIFID, followed by religious expressions (28.1%), emotional statements, ( 22.8% ), and quotations and poetic verses (19.9% ). Other studies have supported these findings, concluding that online speech acts of congratulation were mostly constructed through AIFID strategy (Al-Shboul and Huwari, 2016;Jahangard, Khanlarzade and Latifi, 2016). These findings clearly indicate that the cultural norms and religious background profoundly rooted in all participants can strongly affect their linguistic choices in their native language.…”

“…The researcher concluded his study with the fact that there is a clear association between CT announcements and some socio-cultural factors such as gender, social and economic status. Al-Shboul & Huwari (2016), likewise, explored the types of positive politeness strategies in the congratulation speech act used by Jordanian EFL postgraduate students. Data were collected using an adopted version of the discourse completion test by Dastjerdi & Nasri (2013).…”

“…A review of the literature revealed that a great deal of research on speech acts in the Jordanian context has been given on congratulation, but many features of this specific speech act are still under study. For instance, some researchers have tried to explore congratulation strategies used by Jordanian EFL postgraduate students (Al-shboul, 2016). Several studies have been carried out to investigate crosscultural differences between Jordanian native speakers of Arabic and American English speakers in terms of the realization speech act of congratulations (Bataineh, 2013).…”

This study aims to examine the speech act of congratulations in the Arabic language on the occasion of 'birthday' among young Arab Jordanians who use Facebook to share social life with each other. The data collected is 855 birthday congratulation notes posted by 100 Jordanian Facebook users. The convenience sampling is being used as research methodology through which there are four main categories emerged from the data analysis, namely, Arabic Illocutionary Force Indicating Device' (AIFID), Emotional Statements', (ES), Religious Expressions (RE), and Quotations and Poetic Verses (QPV). Findings revealed that the Jordanian linguistic behaviour and pragmatic norms were profoundly rooted in the social values and religious norms of the Jordanian online speech community. The study concludes with a discussion of important directions for future research, such as examining gender differences in expressing birthday wishes.

“…Furthermore, in making conversation, the interlocutor and listener do not involve only language function but also mood types which are being carried in verbal interaction. According to Gerrot & Wignell (1995, p.38) Some studies have been conducted in different settings related to language function and mood types, such as mood types on writing form (Bankole & Ayoola, 2014;Puspitasari, 2014;Dahunsi & Babatunde, 2017;Gustafito & Kamayana 2017), mood types on spoken discourse (Permata, 2015), language function on ELT textbook (Susanthi, Pastika, Yadnya, & Satyawati, 2018), language function of apologizing (SW, 2015;Waluyo, 2017), language function of thanking (Dalilan, 2012), and language function of congratulation (Al-Shboul & Huwari, 2016).

This article aimed at explaining the realization of actional competence, which focused on language functions in the mood types of casual conversation. This study highlighted seven key areas of language functions proposed by Celce-Murcia et al. (2007), namely interpersonal exchange, information exchange, opinions, feelings, suasion, problems, and future scenarios. This study was descriptive qualitative research, where the participants were four students of a state university in Semarang. The finding of this study showed that among the speakers used mostly asking and giving information language function, which was realized in the form of declarative mood type. In other words, in this casual conversation among the speakers were trying to exchange information as much as possible. The present study has only investigated the realization of actional competence in students’ communication. Therefore, future researchers could investigate more deeply about the grammatical use of the students’ actional competence, especially in terms of language function. It is also crucial to include more participants with different backgrounds, such as formal situations, written discourse, or different cultures and gender.

“…Interests on how teachers and learners use communication strategies in the university classroom have been the focus of researchers (see e.g., Al-Shboul & Huwari, 2016;Eftekhari, 2011;Ghasani & Sofwan, 2017). The study conducted by Al-Shboul and Huwari suggests that the manifestation of triggered code-switching in ESP context is greater in terms of frequency.…”

Students of English as a foreign language find it difficult to initiate a talk and exchange meanings in an interaction. They find it hard to break the iceberg and act by asking, commanding and answering to make the speakers or listeners’ intention fulfilled. As such they do not have medium to exchange experiences. The present study aims to explain the way meanings are negotiated and exchanged in the implementation of communication strategies in a simulation of a job interview. The subjects of this qualitative study are students of Indonesian Vocational College. The object of the study is the students’ utterances in the interview. Functional semantic reinterpretation of turn-constructional units of conversation analysis is implemented to explain how the students exchange and negotiate meanings. The findings suggest that the realization of exchange and negotiation of meanings is influenced by moves assigned to speech functions classes and the types of meanings implemented in the act of production and comprehension of the whole communication. The subjects of the present study can be categorized into productive speakers. The students negotiate feelings and attitudes more than that of the content of the proposition.
