Abstract

Parikan in Javanese society is a form of pasemon. To understand the parikan fully, it is necessary to comprehend the context. A context is considered as an aspect related to the physical and social environments of a speech. Parikan is composed of two constructions of sentences. The first sentence is the attention grabber, while the second deals with contents. This article discusses: 1) the parikan’s form and structure, 2) the pragmatic force of parikan, and 3) pragmatic functions of the parikan. This research used a method called matching the deciding elements. The data analysis shows that 1) the parikan’s shape and structure take a human and conditional composition, 2) the parikan has the illicit power in the sentence components, and 3)generally speaking, pragmatic functions are satire and advice.
