Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penggunaan ekspresi deiksis dalam teks pidato Hari Sumpah Pemuda yang disampaikan oleh kepala sekolah dalam konteks seremoni akademik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif. Sumber data penelitian adalah teks pidato resmi peringatan Hari Sumpah Pemuda ke-97 tahun 2025 yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pemuda dan Olahraga Republik Indonesia dan dibacakan pada upacara di lingkungan sekolah. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik dokumentasi dengan mengidentifikasi kalimat dan klausa yang mengandung ekspresi deiksis. Analisis data dilakukan berdasarkan kerangka pragmatik untuk mengklasifikasikan dan menjelaskan fungsi deiksis yang digunakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga jenis deiksis yang dominan, yaitu deiksis persona, deiksis temporal, dan deiksis spasial. Deiksis persona berfungsi membangun solidaritas dan identitas kolektif antara penutur dan audiens, deiksis temporal menghubungkan peristiwa masa lalu, kondisi masa kini, dan harapan masa depan, sedangkan deiksis spasial membangun ruang kebangsaan secara literal dan simbolik. Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa deiksis tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai unsur kebahasaan, tetapi juga sebagai strategi pragmatik dalam menyampaikan nilai-nilai nasional dalam pidato seremoni di konteks pendidikan.

Abstract

of seventh grade students in writing descriptive texts at SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar. Writing descriptive texts is a challenging skill for junior high school students, especially in organizing ideas coherently and logically. Many students have difficulty in maintaining a clear flow of ideas, connecting one sentence to another, and developing descriptions in an organized manner so that the resulting writing often appears fragmented and less integrated. This condition indicates the need for effective teaching techniques to help students organize their thoughts before writing. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The study population was all seventh grade students of SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar, with a sample of 60 students selected using a purposive sampling technique, 30 students each in the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected through writing tests in the form of pre-tests and post-tests, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results showed that the coherence scores of students in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group. The t-test results show that the calculated t-value is greater than the t-table at a significance level of 5% (t = 4.86; p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Mind Mapping Technique has a positive and significant effect on students' coherence in writing descriptive texts. Practically, the results of this study can serve as a reference for English teachers in implementing effective instructional strategies to improve students’ writing skills and encourage them to organize their ideas more systematically, as well as provide useful references for future researchers in conducting more in-depth studies related to writing instruction.

Abstract

This paper investigates communicative purposes of the use of abbreviations in Discord chats based on the Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) framework. Over three months, 500 chat messages in five Discord servers of gaming, educational and hobby communities were gathered. The study found four types of abbreviations, including initialisms (42%), phonological reductions (28%), Gen Z slang (22%), and alphanumeric replacements (8%). Results show that abbreviations have four main communicative purposes, namely, structural efficiency, tone modulation pragmatically, interactional continuity, and social identity construction. Abbreviations are multi-purpose resources that can only have sense in a context of negotiation, and at the same time they carry semantic, pragmatic, and social indexicalities. Such immense popularity of Gen Z forms like fr, ngl and no cap suggests that abbreviations have become sociolinguistic signifiers of belonging to a culture and generational identity. This paper has made a contribution to digital linguistics by enlightening on the influence of abbreviations in establishment of connotation and social bond within virtual communities.

Abstract

Umpasa is a fundamental oral tradition in Toba Batak culture, functioning as a medium for conveying blessings and spiritual messages. However, the functional shift between different ritual contexts, such as joyful weddings and solemn funerals, remains under-documented. This study aims to identify the types of communicative functions, determine their shifting dominance, and describe their linguistic realizations within Ulaon Unjuk and Ulaon Saur Matua. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data consists of 20 selected umpasa utterances, analyzed using Roman Jakobson’s theory of communicative functions. The results reveal that only four of Jakobson’s six functions are present: poetic, conative, referential, and emotive. Phatic and metalingual functions are entirely absent, suggesting that umpasa is a fixed ritual text. Furthermore, function dominance is context-dependent. In Ulaon Unjuk, the poetic function is superior, as it prioritizes the aesthetic delivery of blessings and ancestral values through rhythmic metaphors. Conversely, in Ulaon Saur Matua, the conative function dominates, emphasizing the delivery of spiritual guidance, instructions, and social expectations for the bereaved family. These functions are realized through specific markers, such as nature-based metaphors and parallelism for the poetic function, and the optative particle "Sai" and address form "Hamu" for the conative function. In conclusion, umpasa serves as a sophisticated cultural vehicle that strategically adjusts its functional priority to reinforce cultural identity during major life transitions.

Abstract

Reading comprehension plays an important role in English language learning because it enables students to construct meaning, acquire knowledge, and develop language proficiency. However, many vocational school students still experience serious difficulties in understanding descriptive texts, which are an important part of the English language curriculum. Previous studies have highlighted that students often experience difficulties due to limited vocabulary, insufficient knowledge of grammar, lack of background understanding, and low motivation. However, few studies have examined this issue in the context of vocational education. Therefore, this study aims to investigate students' difficulties in understanding descriptive texts at SMK Swasta 1 Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method involving observation, interviews, and document analysis to identify the types and causes of students' difficulties. The results of the study show that the main problems experienced by students are a lack of vocabulary mastery, difficulty recognizing the general structure of descriptive texts, misunderstanding of main ideas and specific information, and confusion about grammar, especially in the use of simple tenses and adjectives. In addition, low reading motivation and over-reliance on translation tools also have a negative impact on students' comprehension. This study concludes that these difficulties arise from linguistic, cognitive, and affective factors. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to design more effective reading strategies and improve students' understanding of descriptive texts in English as a foreign language.
