“…Here, the researchers found that the propositional content of the utterance was not only about the future action of the hearers but also could be seen in the context of the utterance itself. As mentioned in Johnson (2020), Hadiati (2019), and Adnyasuari (2016) the propositional content condition was about the contexts and circumstances when the utterance was spoken. An utterance would be infelicitous if it were spoken in other places and other situations.…”

“…My choice of this lexical blend is inspired by the feminist portmanteau mansplaining and its variant manterruption, which is a critique of male conversational arrogance. Largely attributed to American writer Rebecca Solnit, mansplaining refers to a patronizing, condescending explanation offered by men borne out of ignoring women's experiences and knowledge (Bridges, 2017;Johnson, 2020;Lutzky & Lawson, 2019). I draw on this lexical blend (made up of the free morpheme God and the gerund splaining) as an effort at theorizing the political rhetoric of popular prophets in Ghana's political space.…”

“Godsplaining”: Toward a Theory of Religious Capital in Political Rhetoric

This paper is an effort at theorizing the neologism godsplaining. The term interrogates the attempt by religious clerics to earn cultural capital by explaining God’s actions and preferences. The paper does so by deconstructing the political rhetoric of two popular Ghanaian prophets, following the outcome of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections. Using deconstruction as an analytical tool, the study analyses a 2-hour interview the clerics granted an Accra-based local radio station on its morning show. The analysis showed that the religious leaders engaged in “godsplaining” by employing five basic rhetorical strategies— appeal to prophetic authority, kategoria versus apologia, erotema, biblical allusion, and anecdote in order to defend why their perceived political party either won or lost the 2020 general elections. The analysis revealed that the deliberative rhetoric of the prophets suggested a biased hermeneutic of God’s will in favor of their preferred political affinity. The study has implications for further research in media studies, religious communication, and the question of divinity in partisan politics.

“…They need to consider or create a possible intention appropriate to the context. Considering the speaker's communicative intention in making an utterance is recognized as illocutionary force (Johnson, 2020). Illocutionary force is characterized by culture, conditions, and situations, for example, pointing a question, giving an order, or making or producing a statement (Hidayat, 2016).…”

Slang words can contain particular meanings that cannot be interpreted directly. To know and understand the meaning behind the utterances, EFL learners can employ illocutionary force by analyzing the native speakers' daily communication of slang words. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to explore the types of slang words and the illocutionary force behind the utterances in the Rampage movie. The data were collected from the movie transcript and analyzed using document analysis to explore the types of slang words and the illocutionary force. The analysis results revealed that all types of slang words were discovered in the movie, and the most used type was imitative, which occurred 14 times. The illocutionary force that underlined the characters implementing the slang words was to show that the speakers have higher status than the interlocutor, understand what they need to do in certain situations, ask other people to do something, want to show their psychological state, and they want to give a promise. The results of this study would enrich EFL learners' knowledge of slang words in particular and their vocabulary items in general.
