Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach with a distributional analysis method, data were collected from five native speakers through observation, elicitation, interviews, and audio recordings. The analysis identifies four types of phoneme transformations: (1) phoneme reduction (62 instances), primarily triggered by confixes such as <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="519">po-...-ane</em> and <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="534">po-...-one</em>; (2) phoneme substitution (18 instances), predominantly associated with the suffix <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="628">-a</em>; (3) phoneme addition (9 instances), triggered by the prefixes <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="694">mo-</em> and <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="702">moM-</em>; and (4) phoneme position shifts (6 instances), consistently resulting from the infix <em data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="793">-in-</em>. Ultimately, these findings highlight phoneme reduction as the most dominant morphophonemic characteristic in Tialo affixation.</p> Dian Magfira Rizky Anugrah Putra Copyright (c) 2026 Dian, Rizky Anugrah Putra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-05-16 2026-05-16 5 1 1 11 10.58989/plj.v5i1.77 https://ejournal.kyadiren.or.id/index.php/pulchra/article/view/82 <p>This study specifically describes the forms of directive speech acts and the implementation of politeness strategies by the grade III C teacher at YPPK Kristus Raja Dok V Bawah Elementary School in mediating verbal bullying conflicts. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on pragmatics, data in the form utterances were collected through the observational method and note-taking technique, and then analyzed using the pragmatic identity method. The results indicated that the teacher produced directive speech acts in the form of commands, prohibitions, and assertive-directive hybrid utterances to demand behavioral changes. These reprimands were implemented through a depersonalized <em>Bald On-Record</em> politeness strategy, as well as <em>positive politeness</em> and <em>off-record</em> strategies during personal mediation sessions. The selection of these linguistic strategies served to mitigate face-threatening acts toward the students. The orchestration of these pragmatic tactics created an effective perlocutionary force; it successfully dismantled the perpetrators' defensive attitudes, prompting reflection and mutual forgiveness.</p> Tenri Ugi Irianto Yunita Ruth Burdam Copyright (c) 2026 Tenri Ugi Irianto, Yunita Ruth Burdam https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-05-17 2026-05-17 5 1 12 25 10.58989/plj.v5i1.82
