The Communication Elements and Language Strategies in Responding to Dhamma-Related Questions in “Miss Parian 9” Program
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to examine the communication elements present in Miss Parian (Pariyat) 9 Program and to analyze the language strategies used in responding to Dhamma-related questions. Data were collected from six episodes published on the YouTube channel-Prairie Phaiwan. The findings reveal that all eight elements of communication are evident in the program and contribute to understanding the communication context, playing a role in shaping the language used. Two primary language strategies were identified in responding to Dhamma-related questions: the direct-response strategy and the evasive-response strategy. Both strategies primarily serve to convey information related to Dhamma and also contribute to making the responses in Miss Parian 9 more engaging and accessible to the audience.
