Abstract

Body-part terms are a productive source of lexical meaning extension, but Javanese research has mainly described selected metaphors and proverbs rather than the distribution of related senses in a general corpus. Purpose: This study identifies the body-part lexemes attested in a contemporary Javanese treebank, distinguishes literal and extended uses, and reconstructs the cognitive mechanisms linking their senses. Method: A corpus-assisted qualitative analysis was conducted on the UD Javanese-CSUI treebank containing 1,000 sentences and 14,343 tokens. Thirty-one candidate body-part forms were searched, normalized into lexical families, and examined through concordance-based contextual analysis. Metaphorical extension was diagnosed through perceived similarity, while metonymic extension was identified through contiguity, function, or part-participant association. Results: Fifty-seven raw tokens were retrieved; one proper name was excluded, leaving 56 relevant tokens in 12 lexical families. Extended uses accounted for 29 tokens (51.8%). The domain ATI/MANAH dominated the extended data and lexicalized emotion, moral disposition, inner voice, and psychological stability. TANGAN/ASTA encoded control and responsibility, while SIKIL, KUPING, LENGEN, and JANTUNG produced participant, evaluative, object-part, and emotional extensions. Conclusion: Javanese body-part polysemy is systematic but distributionally unequal. Internal-state meanings are highly conventionalized, whereas object and participant extensions are sparse in the sampled corpus. The findings support a usage-based semantic-network model and provide a replicable basis for Javanese lexicography and figurative-language annotation.

Abstract

Digital transformation requires communities not only to be able to use technological devices, but also to search for and verify information, protect data, interact ethically, and use technology productively. This community service activity aimed to improve community digital literacy through training in the use of information technology in Deli Serdang Regency. The program was designed using a participatory approach and guided practice involving 40 participants. The activity stages consisted of needs identification, pretest, material delivery, demonstration, practice, mentoring, posttest, and evaluation. The materials were organized around four pillars of digital literacy: digital skills, digital safety, digital ethics, and digital culture. The evaluation instrument consisted of 20 items with a maximum score of 100. Simulated evaluation data showed a total pretest score of 2,290 with a mean of 57.25, while the total posttest score was 3,415 with a mean of 85.38. The mean increased by 28.13 points, with an N-gain of 0.67, which is in the moderate category. A paired-samples t-test showed a significant difference between scores before and after the training, t(39) = 20.51; p < 0.001. The largest improvements were observed in the ability to recognize phishing, use two-factor authentication, verify information sources, and protect account security. The program indicates that contextual, participatory, practice-based training has the potential to strengthen community digital competence. Program sustainability requires periodic mentoring and collaboration among higher education institutions
