Abstract

Poetry is a literary form that conveys the poet's emotions and thoughts through an imaginative and structured process. It is rich in emotion and distinct in its expression. Writing poetry involves channeling imagination into lines and stanzas, reflecting the poet's creative freedom and ownership. Within the framework of existentialism, poets exercise complete freedom in crafting their poetry without external influence. This study employs a qualitative approach using Hermeneutic analysis and data validation techniques, where data are validated through thorough reading to ascertain the meaning of each word and phrase. The data sources consist of seven poetry texts created by members of the extracurricular poetry group at MTs Miftahul Huda Palang Tuban. Data were collected in the form of words, phrases, and stanzas that depict existentialism, particularly individual freedom. The findings reveal five existential themes in the poetry: "me" (29%), "heart" (14%), "love" (14%), "friends" (29%), and "God" (14%). The terms "me" and "best friend" are the most prevalent, highlighting the themes of self-identity and interpersonal relationships as forms of existence. This study demonstrates that the poet's existence is manifested through the choice of words, with the dominant themes reflecting the poet's exploration of identity, relationships, and individual freedom.

Abstract

Language and ethics are intrinsically linked, with ethics playing a crucial role in ensuring politeness and recognizing social distinctions among speakers. One regional language rich in ethical traditions is Madurese, particularly through a practice known as ondhagga. This tradition emphasizes the importance of speech and grammar tailored to the social position of the person being addressed. In Madurese culture, the speaker must consider the listener's social status to appropriately use ondhagga forms. This research highlights two types of ethics within this tradition: normative and descriptive ethics. Normative ethics focuses on defining the behaviors and values that are considered morally good within a social group, guiding individuals on appropriate actions without making judgments. On the other hand, descriptive ethics describes existing behaviors and their meanings, offering insight into actions without prescribing standards. The study analyzed twenty conversational samples across various contexts using qualitative, phenomenological methods. Data was collected through documentation, and analysis was conducted using data reduction and presentation techniques. To ensure validity, the research employed data triangulation and credibility testing. The aim was to explain how normative and descriptive ethics operate within the ondhagga tradition. The findings emphasize the importance of ethical communication, tailored to context and situation. It underscores that ethics in a language not only applies to Madurese but is relevant across all languages and cultures. Ultimately, language ethics reflects our nobility as human beings, as it shapes respectful communication in everyday interactions.

Abstract

Online games, particularly Mobile Legends, have become highly popular among students, especially college students. While engaging and entertaining, this attraction can lead students to neglect important aspects of their behavior, including their language use. This research focuses on the impact of online gaming on language politeness among Unitomo students living in Pumpugan 3, Surabaya. Specifically, the study aimed to examine the influence of frequent online gaming on the level of language politeness among these students, with a qualitative research design conducted in April 2024. The study focused on five Unitomo students, consisting of three female and two male participants, who were active Mobile Legends players. Data collection methods included interviews and observations, providing insights into the students' everyday language use. The results revealed that the environment, particularly time spent playing online games, significantly affected their language politeness. The students often adopted words and phrases from the online gaming environment into their daily conversations, including vulgar language such as "fuck you," "damn," "crazy," "dog," and others, both in English and Indonesian. These findings underscore the importance of self-awareness in maintaining polite language, particularly as the influence of gaming environments can contribute to the erosion of linguistic decency. Developing and practicing polite language habits from a young age is essential to counteract the negative influence of such environments. The research highlights the need for greater awareness and personal responsibility in fostering polite communication in both gaming and everyday contexts.

Abstract

Along with the times and advances in technology, language is also experiencing changes which result in the formation of new vocabulary and new variations of morphemes. To understand the process of change, researchers are encouraged to conduct research in the field of morphophonemics. This study examines the morphophonemic processes in Boy Candra's novel "Ingkar," focusing on phoneme changes, additions, and disappearances. This research focuses more on the morphophonemic processes in the prefixes meN- and peN. This study is done in qualitative ways because information is obtained by describing words or sentences that contain morphophonemic processes. The research instrument is the researcher himself with the help of an indicator table to make it easier for the researcher to process the data. The data collection technique is in the form of a listening technique, with basic tapping techniques and advanced techniques, namely proficient free-involved listening. The findings align with Ramlan's theoretical framework, which outlines specific phoneme transformations based on morpheme interactions. Key observations include the transformation of the phoneme /n/ to /m/ when meN- and peN- join words with certain prefixes, and the addition of phonemes in specific morphological environments. These patterns illustrate the dynamic interplay between morphology and phonology in Indonesian. The recommendations for further research suggest comparative analyses across different genres and dialects, as well as cognitive and psycholinguistic studies to deepen understanding of morphophonemic processing. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of morphophonemics in Indonesian, with implications for linguistic theory, language teaching, and computational applications.

Abstract

Digital fiction is a collection of art texts in the form of short stories and novels that combine technology, virtual space, media elements, and provide access to readers or netizens to carry out certain activities in it. Narratology of Characterization is the initial foundation in research in the field of literary studies. Narratology is a field of study that explains narratives and narrative structures in a discourse context. Narratology of characterization talks about the position or scheme of characters in the story. The position of the character talks about the role and impact of the role of the character. The character gives birth to characterization. Characterization gives birth to implications. Implications provides birth to messages and perspectives that will be captured by the reader. Narratology research in digital fiction is research that aims to explain the position, role, and function of the character and characterization itself. This study found that in digital fiction, characters are dominated by women. Female characters in digital fiction hold various roles and impacts on the roles they play. Not only that, this study also found that all works included in the digital fiction category are works that are ready to be owned by many people. Digital fiction does not only belong to the author but also to the reader who acts as a ghost writer who has the right to make decisions or provide suggestions and criticisms of the contents of the story. The author is still recognized as the creator of the story and netizens still take their position as figures who assess the work subjectively and objectively, subjective because there are thoughts, ideas, personal points of view in assessing a fiction, objective in providing assessments, input, suggestions, and criticisms for the maturity or goodness of the story.
