Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of language transfer, both positive and negative, on English pronunciation of native Sundanese speakers in Braga Street, Bandung. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and controlled speech tasks involving 17 participants. The analysis focused on identifying the types, causes, and impacts of language transfer on pronunciation. The findings reveal three forms of negative transfer: substitution, omission, and addition of sounds. Meanwhile, positive transfer is categorized based on similarities in consonants, vowels, and loanwords. Negative transfer patterns generally arise due to phonological differences between Sundanese as the first language (L1) and English as the second language (L2). On the other hand, positive transfer was found to support more accurate pronunciation. These findings offer valuable insights for developing English teaching strategies that strategically address phonological similarities and differences between L1 and L2. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance for tourism practitioners to prioritize effective English communication in order to enhance cross-cultural interactions with international visitors.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomena of English–Indonesian code mixing in Jesselyn Lauwreen's short-form video material, specifically in her Gourmet With Jess TikTok series. Lauwreen is the winner of MasterChef Indonesia Season 8. The research distinguishes and classifies three linguistic forms—intra-sentential code mixing, intra-lexical code mixing, and code mixing involving pronunciation change—based on Charlotte Hoffman's (1991) typology of code mixing. In order to investigate how English cooking terminology is incorporated into Indonesian narratives, 10 TikTok videos were examined using a qualitative descriptive technique. The results show that the most common technique is intra-sentential code mixing, in which English phrases like "Now aku bakal steam" or "Chinese stir fry beef dengan sayur-sayuran" are included into Indonesian sentence structures to promote conceptual clarity and linguistic flexibility. Additionally common is intra-lexical code mixing, which is demonstrated by hybrid constructions such as "di-marinate," "garnish-nya," and "shred gitu," which show Jesselyn's adaptive linguistic innovation by fusing local grammar conventions with international culinary language. The least common type of code mixing was a change in pronunciation, but it was noticeable in cases like "chicken stock," which is pronounced using Indonesian phonology. This indicates localized accessibility without compromising professional authority. The study emphasizes that code mixing on TikTok is a purposeful decision influenced by audience expectations, platform affordances, and the creation of culinary identities rather than just being a linguistic need. In addition to providing insights into how multilingual influencers use language to negotiate cultural capital, relatability, and expertise in Indonesia's developing digital culinary realm, these findings validate the usefulness of Hoffman's methodology in evaluating multimodal digital discourse.

Abstract

Slang is rapidly evolving on social media as a form of informal expression, and TikTok has become one of the most dynamic platforms for the spread of slang among the younger generation. This research aims to analyze the types and functions of slang words that develop on the TikTok social media platform in 2024. Using a qualitative approach, this study refers to Allan and Burridge's (2006) classification of slang words, which consists of five categories: fresh and creative, flippant, imitative, acronym, and clipping. Data were obtained from 19 popular TikTok videos, including text in captions, video content, and comments, which featured explicit use of slang expressions. The results show that TikTok users exhibit a high level of linguistic creativity, along with the fast, informal, and multimodal character of digital communication. Of the seven slang functions identified in previous theories, it was found that only three main functions were most dominant, namely: (1) to express impressions, (2) to show closeness or intimacy between users, and (3) to form a relaxed and familiar communication atmosphere. These findings indicate that the use of slang on TikTok not only reflects the dynamics of informal language, but is also an important means of building self-identity and strengthening social relationships among the younger generation. Thus, TikTok can be seen as a digital social space that contributes to the formation and spread of contemporary language innovations.

Abstract

This paper employs one strand of Critical Discourse Analysis as a framework to discuss a discourse of political figures. It is a speech delivered by Barack Obama with regard to the issue of 46th president election in 2020 between Trump and Biden. That approach is van Dijk’s (1993) social cognition theory that is focused on the elements of social cognition contained in the speech. In line with Memon, et al. (2014) findings on analyzing Benazir Bhutto’s last speech, there are nine elements of social cognition. Meanwhile, the findings of current study show that there are three social cognition elements in the speech. They are social attachment, mind control, and glorification. In conclusion, social cognition can explore mental awareness of the scenario writer which then forms the text. Keywords: critical discourse analysis, social cognition, speech

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the factors influencing Trevor Noah’s use of negative politeness strategies in his stand-up comedy special “Atlanta Afraid of the Dark” (2016). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research examined and explained the types and influencing factors of negative politeness strategies in Noah’s performance. The study utilized Brown and Levinson’s theories on politeness strategies, particularly negative politeness, to identify and categorize these strategies and their influencing factors. Additionally, Ramon Papana’s framework for the structural build of stand-up comedy techniques was used to analyze the elements of Noah’s comedy. The study found that Noah frequently used impersonal humor in his jokes. It also revealed that social context significantly impacted the content of the jokes, with Noah purposefully addressing social issues. The findings showed that Noah’s humor often employed negative politeness techniques, such as being indirect, questioning, hedging, and depersonalizing both the speaker and the listener. In conclusion, the negative politeness strategies of pessimism, questioning, hedging, and depersonalization played a crucial role in delivering the punchlines. Additionally, callbacks were created using negative politeness methods, such as showing deference and apologizing.Keyword: comedy, politeness strategy, negative politeness strategy

Abstract

This study explores the psycholinguistic dimensions of lexical choice and emotional expression in Bill Gates’ 2007 Harvard Commencement Speech. Drawing on a qualitative descriptive methodology and discourse analysis of the speech transcript, this research investigates how Gates strategically employs emotionally charged vocabulary, humor, metaphors, and narrative structures to evoke specific emotional responses, foster audience engagement, and advocate for social change. The findings reveal that Gates utilizes high-emotion lexical items such as regret, inequity, and disparity to highlight global injustices while employing self-deprecating humor to reduce psychological distance and build rapport with the audience. Metaphorical constructs further enhance cognitive processing and emotional resonance by simplifying complex societal issues. This paper extends its analysis to emphasize the educational implications of Gates’ linguistic strategies, particularly in relation to public speaking pedagogy, emotional intelligence in communication, and the role of language in shaping critical thinking and social awareness. The study contributes to the understanding of psycholinguistic dynamics in influential public discourse and underscores the importance of integrating affective and cognitive dimensions in language education.

Abstract

This study examines the types and meanings of slang words used in Rick Famuyiwa's "Dope" movie (2015), and the research addresses the gap in understanding community-specific communication patterns by analysing authentic teenage dialogue through the theoretical framework for slang classification proposed by Allan and Burridge (2006). This study used qualitative descriptive methodology to identify and categorise slang expressions from the film's dialogue and transcript. The analysis identified 91 slang words, which were classified into five types: flippant, fresh and creative, imitative, clipping, and acronym. Flippant, fresh and creative slang indicates that characters use language that is innovative and different from standard meanings, reflecting the dynamic nature of urban youth communication. Slang is employed to establish interpersonal relationships, create group identities and express emotions. The findings contribute to an understanding of how slang is used in media representations, enriching the knowledge of youth culture and its application in film.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss and describe two aspects: 1) conversational implicature and maxim violations in Trevor Noah's stand-up comedy, and 2) the lesson plan of conversational implicature and maxim violations in Trevor Noah's stand-up comedy using a constructivist approach through Google Forms. A descriptive, qualitative approach based on Grice's implicature theory was employed in this study to analyze 17 of Noah's utterances taken from a YouTube video entitled "Trevor Noah's Complete Remarks at the 2022 White House Correspondents' Dinner" (C-SPAN). The analysis revealed that one utterance can simultaneously violate several maxims. Specifically, 15 general implicatures and two specific implicatures were identified. This study also found that seven utterances violated the maxim of quality, four utterances violated the maxim of quantity, and five utterances violated the maxim of relevance. Six utterances violated the maxim of manner. Noah deliberately used this strategy to make his criticism and satire feel more subtle and less offensive. By breaking the rules, he can funnily convey hidden messages. However, the audience must understand the context of the speech to grasp the implied meaning, as the implied meaning is not always explicitly stated. The lecture plan at a university or college that uses a constructivist approach through Google Form media that involves four initial activities and ten core activity groups.

Abstract

This research investigates the role of short-term memory (STM) in the comprehension of spoken language from a psycholinguistic perspective. Anchored in the theoretical frameworks of Alvarez & Cavanagh (2004), Norris (2017), and Jonides et al. (2008), the study explores how impairments in STM disrupt verbal processing, including the ability to retain, decode, and respond to linguistic input in real time. The analysis centers on Dory, a fictional character in Pixar’s Finding Dory (2016), who is depicted as experiencing persistent short-term memory loss. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and narrative analysis, twenty scenes were selected to examine manifestations of memory-related language breakdowns in naturalistic conversational contexts. The findings reveal consistent disruptions in Dory’s verbal interactions, particularly in turn-taking, following instructions, and interpreting social cues—phenomena that align with contemporary models of STM as a distinct cognitive system from long-term memory. While emotionally salient information is occasionally retained, the character’s inability to maintain immediate verbal context leads to confusion and emotional distress. These results underscore both the linguistic and psychosocial consequences of STM deficits. By integrating psycholinguistic theory with narrative media, the study provides accessible insight into cognitive-linguistic disorders. Future research should explore real-world populations to substantiate these findings and inform educational or clinical interventions.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan teori sarjana Arab klasik, salah satunya teori Semantik al Amidiyy dalam karya monumentalnya al-Ihkām fi Ushūl al-Ahkām. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Hasil analisis pada karya al Amidiy ditemukan teori asal-usul bahasa yaitu teori wadh’i – tauqifi (bahasa diciptakan oleh manusia/Allah). Menurut al Amidiy Perbedaan struktur bunyi akan menghasilkan makna (dilālah) bagi tuturan. Tanda  bahasa menurutnya terbagi dua: bunyi dan isyarat tubuh. Menurut Al-Amidiy bahasa bersifat “arbitrer” (wadh’u ikhtiyāriy). Menurut al Amidiy makna suatu kata tidak otomatis menunjukan benda-benda tertentu, melainkan tergantung pada maksud penutur. Teori referensial, menurutnya terdiri dari tiga aspek: makna (madlul), kata (dāl/lafazh) dan interpretrant (mutakallim/wādhi’) yang menentukan dāl dan madlūl-nya. Hubungan antar makna menurutnya terbagi tiga: musytarak (polisemi), mutaradif (sinonim) dan mutabayin (kata biasa).  Adapun jenis makna menurut al Amidiy adalah sebagai berikut: Muthlaq & Muqayyad, Mujmal & Bayan, Hakikat (pokok) & Majāz (Cabang), Dilalāh Manzhūm; Dilālah ghair manzhūm. Kata Kunci: Bahasa Arab, Teori Semantik, al-Amidi, Ushul Fiqh.
