Abstract

This study analyzed the differences and the similarities between metaphors found in political news in The Jakarta Post and The New York Times online. Kovecses (2010) theory about conceptual metaphor is used to analyze the data. The concept of metaphor is elaborated into source domain and target domain. The type of this research is qualitative descriptive. After analyzing 40 political news in The Jakarta Post and The New York Times, it was found that there are 61 metaphors in the The New York Times and 16 metaphors in The Jakarta Post. The result of this study shows that politics is the most dominant type of target domain in the metaphors found in both newspapers. However, the most dominant type of source domain is different. In The New York Times, it is found that the most dominant type of source domain is movement and direction. Meanwhile in The Jakarta Post, the most dominant type of source domain is machines and tools. The differences occur because the writers of both NYT and TJP have different cultural background and writing style.

Abstract

Bahasa Minangkabau adalah salah satu bahasa dengan penutur terbanyak di Indonesia, namun karena beberapa faktor, penggunaan bahasa ini mulai bergeser. Penelitian ini membahas upaya pemertahanan bahasa Minangkabau melalui permainan tradisional, yaitu permainan Cik Mancik, Cak Bur dan Sipak Tekong serta melalui tradisi masyarakat setempat, randai dan makan bajamba. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang mana data berupa tuturan dari penutur asli bahasa Minangkabau yang digunakan dalam permainan tradisional dan tradisi lokal. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data adalah metode observasi dan catat. Data yang berupa tuturan dianalisis menggunakan teori pemertahanan dan pergeseran bahasa oleh Holmes (2013). Hasil dari penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa usaha pemertahanan bahasa Minangkabau dilakukan dengan baik oleh penuturnya. Usaha ini dapat terlihat dari penggunaan frasa dalam permainan tradisional seperti manang banyak. Sementara itu dalam tradisi lokal, randai, usaha pemertahanan bahasa terlihat dari penggunaan gaya bahasa pantun dan metafora dalam bahasa Minangkabau. Dalam tradisi makan bajamba, penggunaan kosakata yang berkaitan dengan makanan juga merupakan sebuah usaha dalam mempertahankan bahasa Minangkabau. Lebih lanjut, terdapat dua faktor yang ditemukan dalam usaha pemertahanan bahasa Minangkabau, yaitu pada tataran leksikal dan sikap berbahasa. Dalam setiap permainan maupun tradisi lokal, terdapat usaha pemertahanan dengan menggunakan kosakata maupun frasa tertentu seperti manang banyak, pangek masin, pucuak ubi, limpapeh dan lainnya. Lebih lanjut, sikap bahasa penutur bahasa Minangkabau ini cenderung positif.

Abstract

Using Naomi Wolf's idea of power feminism, this study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology. The study centers on a female character's quest for domination in the face of men's powerful predominance. The study's focus is Sweet Avocadoes' English-language digital novel The Alpha's Betrayal in 99 Days, which was released on the iReader platform. This reading and writing app distributes over 600,000 titles to over 70 million active readers in more than 150 countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia.  The purpose of this study is to reveal the forms and functions of power represented through the main female character, Shayna Anderson. The findings indicate that female power in the novel is portrayed through personal charm, physical strength, resilience, and decisiveness. These attributes enable the protagonist to dominate male characters and negotiate an equal gender position. Thus, the novel emphasizes that women can claim authority in patriarchal social relations through a combination of charisma, strength, and courage. In this study, the author also examines the perspective of women in Islamic teachings as a point of comparison. In addition to challenging the presumption that gender equality is associated with patriarchal culture, this discussion attempts to investigate how the idea is positioned inside the Islamic faith. The writer aims to show that through the teachings of the Qur'an, Islam promotes women's rights and equality with men in several spheres of life, in addition to acknowledging their existence. As a result, this section emphasizes the significance of feminist principles found in Qur'anic texts as a basis for creating a more equitable and proportionate understanding of women's roles in Islam.

Abstract

Functional typology focuses on clause structure and argument relations as they contribute to meaning. The purpose of this research is to characterize the Minangkabau language's grammatical relationships and semantic roles of subjects and objects. The study uses a literature-based methodology and a qualitative descriptive method. The data were taken from Minangkabau folktales and consists of 80 basic clauses. In order to ascertain syntactic behavior, the analysis employs subjecthood tests (raising, reflexive control, relativization, and quantifier float) in addition to identifying grammatical relations and semantic roles. The results show that Minangkabau subjects continuously hold the greatest syntactic position, regardless of whether they behave as agents or non-agents. Subjects can appear before the predicate, influence reflexive noun phrases, and be relativized. However, objects are different from subjects. Direct objects function as dative or benefactive semantically, whilst indirect objects function as patient. Grammatical relations and semantic roles interact hierarchically and functionally in phrase structure, as demonstrated by Minangkabau's typological nominative–accusative alignment with a simple S–V–O word order.

The method applied was read-aloud combined with interactive techniques, including questioning, story prediction, creative activities, and story-based quizzes. Data were collected through direct observation, students’ responses during the activities, and their creative outputs, and were analyzed descriptively. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ reading interest and participation, as reflected in their active involvement in listening, responding, and engaging in discussions. In addition, the program contributed to the development of students’ imagination and creativity, demonstrated through drawing, coloring, and retelling activities.

Furthermore, the use of interactive quizzes increased students’ motivation and enthusiasm throughout the program. In conclusion, the Interactive Read Aloud program proved to be an effective literacy learning strategy that not only improves reading skills but also fosters creativity, confidence, and active student engagement.
