Abstract

Traditional and regional songs play an important role in preserving language and cultural values. In Sundanese culture, popular songs function not only as entertainment but also as a medium for transmitting linguistic and cultural heritage. This study analyzes the linguistic elements of ten lyrical excerpts from Sundanese pop songs popularized by Nining Meida in 1988 through lexical meaning, contextual meaning, and figurative language. Using a qualitative method with content analysis, the study finds that the lyrics contain a rich vocabulary of romance and daily Sundanese life. The meanings are often symbolic and contextual, making literal interpretation difficult. Dominant figurative devices include metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and visual imagery. The findings indicate that these popular songs contribute significantly to preserving the Sundanese language and strengthening cultural identity.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic settings has increased significantly, including in assisting students to write in English. However, few studies have directly compared the quality of students' writing before and after using such tools. This study aims to analyze the comparison of fourth-semester students' writing in the English Literature Program at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung before and after using AI tools (such as ChatGPT or automatic translators). The method used is descriptive quantitative with a comparative approach. Data were collected from 9 students who were asked to rewrite an Indonesian text into English without AI assistance, and then rewrite the same text with AI assistance. The results showed that writing with AI assistance achieved higher average scores (70–95) compared to writing without AI assistance (12–85). The most common errors in writing without AI included grammar issues (tenses, prepositions, subject-verb agreement) and incomplete sentences. In contrast, writing with AI assistance tended to be more structured and aligned with standard English grammar rules. This study concludes that AI tools are effective in helping students improve their grammar and writing completeness, but supervision is still needed to prevent students from becoming fully dependent on AI.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology in Indonesia has fostered the growing use of digital platforms in language learning, particularly YouTube as a contextual and easily accessible audiovisual medium. This study aims to identify and analyze the types of speech acts, based on Searle's classification, in the "Get to Know" video series from the English Academy on the Ruangguru YouTube channel, and to examine their functions in supporting the effectiveness of digital learning. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzed two purposively selected videos by transcribing instructors' utterances in full and systematically classifying them into representatives, directives, expressives, commissives, and declaratives. The findings reveal that representative speech acts dominate the videos (55 occurrences), functioning primarily to convey factual information and conceptual explanations. Directive speech acts (17 occurrences) provide instruction and motivation, whereas expressive speech acts (13 occurrences) build emotional rapport with the audience. Commissive and declarative speech acts were not identified. These findings indicate that the strategic use of speech acts enhances instructional communication, learner engagement, and motivation in video-based language learning. This study contributes to digital pragmatics by demonstrating how informative, persuasive, and expressive speech acts can be optimized in YouTube-based English language learning in Indonesia, and it offers practical implications for the design of digital educational content.

Abstract

The difference in the meaning of vocabulary between regional languages is an interesting linguistic phenomenon to study, especially in words that have the same form but are used in different language systems. One example of this phenomenon is the word sangu in Sundanese and Javanese. This study aims to analyze the differences in the lexical and pragmatic meanings of the word sangu in both languages. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a semantic and pragmatic approach. The research data was obtained from Sundanese and Javanese dictionaries and examples of speech from speakers in the context of everyday interactions. The results show that lexically, the word sangu in Sundanese is generally interpreted as ‘rice’ or ‘staple food’, while in Javanese, the word sangu is more often used to refer to ‘provisions’ in general. Pragmatically, these differences in meaning are influenced by the context of use, cultural background, and language habits of the speakers. These findings indicate that understanding the meaning of words across regional languages requires attention to linguistic and cultural aspects in order to reduce the potential for misunderstanding in communication.
