Abstract

This study explores the morphological process in the Javanese language where numerical phrases are transformed into verbs through the addition of the prefix "N-." This process is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also deeply rooted in Javanese culture and socio-religious practices. The urgency of this study lies in documenting and analysing how these transformations reflect cultural traditions, particularly the ceremonial practices observed after specific days following someone's death, such as the third, seventh, fortieth, one hundredth, and one-thousandth days. A review of previous studies shows a lack of focus on the intersection of language, culture, and religion in the transformation of numerical phrases into verbs. This study fills this gap by examining the specific phrases "telung dina" (three days), "pitung dina" (seven days), "patang puluh dina" (forty days), "satus" (one hundred), and "sewu" (one thousand), which are culturally significant in Javanese rituals, and their transformation into verbs such as "nelung dina," "mitung dina," "matang puluh dina," "nyatus," and "nyewu." The analysis demonstrates that the prefix "N-" not only verbalizes these phrases but also embodies the cultural significance of the corresponding periods, turning static expressions into action-oriented verbs that imply ceremonial activities. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of this morphological process in understanding how the Javanese language encapsulates cultural values and practices, offering new insights into the relationship between language, culture, and religion in Austronesian linguistics.

Abstract

This study examines the interplay between language structure and social relations in hierarchical interactions, focusing on the speeches of religious lecturers addressing street food vendors. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs direct observation and audio recordings to capture the linguistic features and social dynamics within these interactions. The data were analyzed through pragmatic and sociolinguistic frameworks to uncover patterns in language use and relational positioning. The findings reveal that religious lecturers utilize distinct linguistic strategies, including simplified language, contextualized examples, and persuasive rhetoric, to engage their audience effectively. Moreover, the social relations within these interactions are characterized by hierarchical, paternalistic, and authority-based dynamics, reflecting broader cultural and societal structures. This study highlights the role of language in shaping power relations and provides insights into the pragmatic and sociolinguistic mechanisms underlying hierarchical communication.

Abstract

The study of mother tongue is becoming increasingly important in understanding the dynamics of language's relationship to cultural identity, cognition, and society. Mother tongue, as the first language learned from infancy, not only influences the way individuals communicate, but also shapes the way they think and see the world. In the context of globalization which is increasingly accelerating the development of international languages, it is critical to evaluate how mother tongues continue to play an important role in education and the maintenance of cultural identity. This research aims to examine critical thinking regarding the existence and importance of mother tongues in education and cultural sustainability, using a document study approach. The analysis was carried out through a review of relevant literature regarding language policy, the foundational role of mother tongue in academic instruction, and the challenges faced by language minority communities. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the mother tongue not only supports better understanding in education but also contributes to the preservation of cultural identity. However, there are major challenges related to global language dominance that could threaten its sustainability. In conclusion, there is a need for policies that support the use of mother tongues in schools and society to maintain a balance between globalization and cultural preservation.
