Journal of Pragmatics Research, E-ISSN: 2656-8020, is published by Universitas Islam Negeri Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia. It is a scientific forum published every February, July, and October, dedicated to developing and disseminating scholarly theories and research on Pragmatics, Pragma-linguistics, and Socio-pragmatics within the Indonesian socio-cultural and political context. Journal of Pragmatics Research provides a platform for discussing the local Indonesian perspectives of language use, pragmatics, and linguistics, and seeks to bring these local insights to a wider international readership — from local to global. While grounded in the Indonesian experience, the journal also welcomes comparative and theoretical studies that connect local contexts to global discussions in cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, anthropology, and communication studies.
