Pola Tindak Tutur Terapeutik dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Pragmatik Searle terhadap Fungsi Penguatan Emosional

Abstract

Mental health issues are no longer a novel topic of discussion. Rapid advancements in science and technology have contributed to the rising prevalence of mental health problems among both adolescents and adults. The disparity between reality and media portrayals is a key trigger. Various treatment methods exist, including self-administered emotional strengthening through the therapeutic practice of reading the Quran. This study aims to: 1) identify speech act patterns; 2) identify therapeutic functions; and 3) describe the Quran's pragmatic strategies for providing emotional strengthening. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study utilized the “simak” method for data collection and the “agih” method a linguistic analysis technique where the determining elements are derived from the language itself, for data analysis. Data presentation followed the informal method. The results indicate that: 1) identified pragmatic speech act categories include directives, representatives, commissives, expressives, and representative-commissives; 2) identified therapeutic speech patterns include comforting, reassurance, emotional regulation, motivation, reinforcement, and hope-building; 3) The pragmatic strategy most frequently found in the Quran as a therapeutic pattern is the directive-comforting-hope-building utterance. The analysis concludes that directives were the most frequent speech act, comforting was the most common therapeutic speech pattern, and the pragmatic strategies for emotional strengthening ultimately centered on hope-building.
