Abstract

This study examines the existence of Malay diplomatic register in official correspondence between Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam. Employing a qualitative approach and documentary analysis of 27 sets of First-Person Notes (1996-2008), this research identifies lexical, pronominal, and syntactic characteristics that distinguish diplomatic register from general Malay varieties. Findings reveal that Malay diplomatic register is characterized by strategic deployment of Bahasa Dalam—the Brunei royal register—encompassing hierarchical honorific systems and personal pronoun choices calibrated to recipient status. However, misapplications of royal-exclusive terms such as berkenan to non-royal officials were documented, potentially generating negative impressions and reducing communicative effectiveness. This study confirms that register competence requires deep pragmatic understanding rather than mere lexical proficiency. Practical implications include development of diplomatic training modules emphasizing register socialization and contribution to terminology standardization for the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia Language Council. This research provides empirical grounding for strengthening bilateral relations through accurate linguistic communication and mutual cultural respect.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ ability and difficulties in writing recount texts at SMP Qu Cahaya Al-Qur’an Padang Panjang. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method involving 11 second-grade students as participants. Data were collected through a recount text writing test and a questionnaire to identify students’ writing difficulties. The assessment focused on two main aspects: generic structure and language features. The findings revealed that students’ overall ability in writing recount texts was categorized as fair. Most students experienced difficulties in organizing ideas, applying correct grammatical structures, and using appropriate vocabulary. Questionnaire results supported these findings, showing that students struggled particularly with language features and grammar usage. These difficulties indicate the need for more focused instructional strategies in teaching recount text writing. The study recommends that teachers provide more guided practice and emphasize the application of generic structure and language features to improve students’ writing skills.
