Abstract

This study explains the discourse structure of antagonism in one of Trump’s political speeches. The analysis also describes the function of antagonistic discourse for Trump’s political purposes against his opponents from the Democratic Party like Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. CDA is the approach used in this research. The theories of political frontier antagonism from Malmberg, Howarth, and Stravakakis supported by the annihilating dynamics of meaning from O’Dawyer are applied to the data taken from the transcription of Trump’s political speeches. The findings show that Trump utilizes specific nouns modified by adjectives to form a political barrier of antagonism between him against the opponents of the Democratic Party. The structure of discourse found in this study shows that Trump uses antagonism in his political speech to inflict a heavy blow to his opponents’ political image.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between language and identity in the novel Segala yang Diisap Langit by Pinto Anugrah using an anthropolinguistic approach. Through qualitative analysis, the research focuses on how language is used to reflect and shape the identity of the Minangkabau community. The findings reveal that the use of the Minangkabau language in the novel serves not only as a communication tool but also as a rich cultural identity symbol. The combination of Minangkabau and Indonesian lexicons reflects the characters' struggles with their identities amidst social change. Additionally, the representation of traditions and customs through language acts as a means to preserve inherited cultural values. In this context, language plays a crucial role in maintaining Minangkabau identity and responding to modernization and globalization. This study contributes to understanding the role of language as a medium for negotiating identity within a society undergoing cultural transformation.

Abstract

This paper discusses the phrase structure construction of English in the names of foods and drinks on the list of menus sold by some modern restaurants and cafes. The phrase structure analysis is based on Burton's (2013) and Collins's (2000) theories. The function of the head in structure and types of phrases are determined by applying the deletion technique. The research data were collected from lists of menus used in nine Restaurants and cafes in Pondok, a Chinese Town of Padang City. There are 209 food and drink names in the form of noun phrases. The NPs can be categorized into 31 types, ranging from simple to complex constructions. The most common type is Noun + Noun and Adjective + Noun. The NPs are used more for food names than that for drinks'. It is probably due to the wider variety of cooking styles and food ingredients than drinks. A wide variety of NPs used for the menus' names in the observed restaurants indicates the owners' sufficient knowledge of the English language.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of self-study as a supplementary strategy for improving grammar competence among first-year students in the Department of Food Science and Agricultural Product Technology at a public university in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Conducted within a General English course limited to six class meetings, the study addressed the challenge of grammar instruction in a heterogeneous classroom. A self-study module, comprising curated online resources and structured assignments, was implemented to support grammar learning outside classroom hours. Findings indicate a marked improvement in grammar scores, particularly among students with lower initial proficiency levels. Self-assessment and perception surveys also showed a high level of engagement and acceptance of the self-study approach. These results suggest that structured self-study can be an effective method to complement formal instruction in time-constrained, diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This applied psycholinguistics study explores whether multimodal flashcards (containing text, audio, and a picture) are more effective than monomodal flashcards (containing text only) as a tool for learning the meanings of novel second-language (L2) concrete nouns. The research instrument was Anki, a flashcard application that utilises active recall and spaced repetition. The study used a within-subject design, where each participant (n = 25) studied a total of 30 L2-L1 (EsperantoIndonesian) word pairs over the course of seven study sessions utilising an assortment of 15 multimodal and 15 monomodal flashcards, with each word pair being presented multimodally to approximately half of the participants and monomodally to the other half. When (re)viewing the answer side of a card, participants were instructed to tap Good if they recalled the answer correctly or Again if not. Recall accuracy data for the two card types were collected and then analysed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, which indicated that the number of user-initiated reviews (Again count, which is indicative of the number of memory lapses) was significantly higher for monomodal flashcards (Mdn = 61, n = 25) than for multimodal flashcards (Mdn = 50, n = 25), Z = -3.4, p 0.001, r = -0.7. These results support the hypothesis that multimodal flashcards are more effective than monomodal flashcards as a tool for learning the meanings of L2 concrete nouns. By implication, language learners can enhance their recall accuracy of L2 concrete nouns by creating and using flashcards that utilise multiple semantically congruent modes.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe the assimilation process in the Toba Batak language, specifically as it is spoken in Pintu Padang Village, located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Assimilation is a type of sound change that is not the same to become the same or almost the same. This process can occur between segments in a word and between components in compound words. So, it is essential to formalize it by describing the sound features that undergo these changes. The data was gathered through observation and interviews. Listening to Batak Angkola speakers communicate with one another allowed for observations. Simultaneously, interviews were conducted by directly interviewing informants who were chosen based on particular criteria. Three individuals were interviewed using a structured interview format. In addition, a set of unstructured interviews was carried out with several other speakers. For this purpose, a generative phonology approach is used. Data analysis was carried out by the distributional method with the segmenting immediate constituents technique. After that, the distinctive features of the sound are explained. The results of this research show that assimilation took place in nasal consonants [m], [n], and [ŋ], which met the consonants [k], [p], [s], [t], [l], and [c]. The sounds [m], [n], and [ŋ] appear in the forms [p], [t] and [k], respectively. Then, the sound [n] appears in the form [l] and [c] when it meets the sounds [l] and [c] too. Generally, it can be inferred that sound modifications in the form of assimilation are homorganic.

Abstract

This study examines lecturers' competence in argumentative writing, emphasizing the rhetorical tactics, coherence, and linguistic difficulties encountered during the process. This research seeks to uncover the strengths and opportunities for growth in academic writing among lecturers, given its crucial role in higher education. The study used a qualitative methodology to investigate a sample of argumentative essays authored by lecturers from diverse fields, assessing the efficacy of their rhetorical methods in articulating and substantiating arguments. The research further examines the coherence of their work, assessing the logical structure and connectivity of ideas and arguments. The research also examines prevalent linguistic obstacles, including clarity, syntax, and vocabulary concerns, that affect the overall quality of argumentative writing. The results indicate that although instructors have robust subject expertise, deficiencies in language competency and argumentative techniques frequently impede the clarity and effectiveness of their work. This study elucidates the necessity for professional development programs designed to improve instructors' academic writing skills, specifically in formulating coherent and rhetorically successful arguments.
