Abstract

This research investigates how language use and gender segregation in the SMes of Pempek 26 Ilir Palembang contribute to the representation of gender identity. This phenomenon is significant, as workplaces in Indonesia, especially in Palembang, persistently display notable gender segregation. In the quest for gender parity, employees’ identities are continuously replicated, with language being a crucial role. This qualitative research utilizes documentation, observation, and interviews for data collection. Meanwhile, the Miles and Huberman approach, that entails data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, is used for data analysis. Butler’s theory of gender performativity serves as the analytical lens, adopting a case study approach. The results show that most of employees and managers of SMEs in the Pempek 26 Ilir area aware the existing gender segregation. Stereotypes are the cause of this segregation. This division results from assumptions that say women belong in jobs requiring endurance and attention to detail, while males belong in jobs that are more physically demanding. The language used by employees is courteous but informal, and the subjects of conversation differ greatly. Male and female employees typically focus on work or interests, while female employees are more talkative about personal and family problems. Overall, these findings show that heteronormative gender performativity is reinforced in the work environment of Indonesian SMEs, especially in Pempek 26 Ilir Palembang, where males are seen as stronger and more reserved and women as weaker but more communicative.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how Indonesian verbs prefixed with ber- are translated into English, focusing on their semantic and grammatical transformations as part of a broader evolution of verbs across the two languages. It revealed how ber- verbs, shaped by affixation in Indonesian, evolved into structurally different forms in English, reflecting each languages grammatical tendencies. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzed a bilingual corpus derived from the Indonesian fairy tale Burung Hantu dan Putri Rajawali and its English translation The Owl and the Eagles Daughter. The data were collected through purposive sampling, comprising all ber- prefixed verbs in the source text. These verbs were analyzed based on their morphological forms, syntactic roles, and semantic shifts in translation. The analysis shows that most ber- verbs, such as berpikir (thought), bertemu (met), and berjuang (struggled), were translated using various English verb forms, including past tense, gerunds, and progressive aspect. Some verbs, such as berterima kasih (grateful) and berhadapan (ventured out), demonstrated more distinctive shifts, indicating cultural or idiomatic adaptation. Reduplicated forms like berkomat-kamit (muttered) and berjam-jam (for many hours) emphasized repeated or prolonged action, while the verb bekerja illustrated phonological alteration of the prefix. These findings highlight the translators strategies in rendering ber-verbs not only semantically but also functionally accurate in English, revealing the complex relationship of morphology, syntax, and meaning in cross-linguistic verb evolution.

Abstract

In the context of the 2024 Indonesian presidential election, a new phenomenon has emerged among social media users: the creativity in making memes. These memes, which can take the form of text or images, address issues and events in an evocative style, becoming widely discussed due to their rapid dissemination and commentary on social media. This research aims to describe the signifiers and signifieds in memes related to the 2024 Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential candidates, elucidate the meanings contained in these memes, and explore the connection between memes on social media and the representation of public perception. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design by employing semiotic analysis. The markers in these memes include snippets of cartoon and film scenes. The allusions in the memes align with the reality of the Indonesian 2024 presidential and vice-presidential candidate debates. These memes convey statements that contain information and public perceptions regarding the behavior, attitudes, and outcomes of the 2024 Indonesian presidential candidates. The results indicate that public perceptions are represented in the memes of the 2024 presidential candidates, encompassing expressions, perceptions, criticisms, humor, and satire. Furthermore, signifiers and signifieds are identified in each meme. This study reveals that memes play a crucial role in reflecting and shaping public perceptions during the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. Through creative expressions of humour, criticism, and satire, memes capture and communicate public sentiments about the candidates, highlighting their influence as a powerful tool in modern political discourse and public engagement.

Abstract

This research examines the utilization of politeness strategies and gendered language among hospitality professionals at Ibis Styles Jakarta Mangga Dua Square. The main goals are threefold: to find out what kinds of politeness strategies front office staff use, to look at how gender affects the language choices they make when talking to guests, and to look at how important these strategies are for improving customer satisfaction and professional communication. Data were gathered via direct observation of daily service interactions and semi-structured interviews with staff, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of both practice and perception. The analysis shows that people often use both positive and negative politeness strategies. However, the way they use them depends on their gender. Female staff members were more likely to use both positive strategies, like friendly greetings and building solidarity, and negative strategies, like indirect requests and polite apologies. This shows that they were relational and empathetic. In contrast, male staff members mostly used positive politeness strategies that focused on being clear, confident, and efficient, especially when they were busy serving customers. These gendered differences exemplify overarching discourse patterns, including "rapport talk" and "report talk," thereby affirming that communication styles are influenced by both personal preferences and societal expectations, as well as professional standards. The findings underscore that linguistic strategies are not solely a matter of decorum but serve as essential instruments in fostering guest satisfaction and professional credibility. The study contends that neither empathetic nor efficiency-driven approaches should be favored; instead, both fulfill complementary roles in hospitality service delivery. By placing these insights in the context of actual hospitality practices, the research enhances applied linguistics, discourse studies, and hospitality management. It also has real-world effects on professional training and staff development programs that want to improve communication, flexibility, and service excellence in the global hospitality industry.
