RESEARCH

ABSTRACT

Public service programs have been prevalent in Philippine broadcast media since television and began. With the prevalence of social media as part of the modernization of mass media, there are now emergent public service programs that air both on traditional media and social media. Anchored on Searle and Austin’s Speech Act Theory framework as well as Grice’s Cooperative Principle framework, the study by Ramos utilized trending interviews over “Wanted sa Radyo” as samples. It was revealed that persuasion and convincing were two of the most prevalent perlocutionary acts for both the hosts and the guests. Focusing on the Gricean maxims, the most adhered maxims were of relevance and manner; however, it was also discovered that manner also had the most violations. Further research on local public service talk shows with respect to speech acts and maxims was recommended by the author for scholars on sociolinguistics and discourse analysis.
