Abstract

The naming system for Javanese is an impressive tradition performing the Javanese culture and identity and has historically been the case in Javanese culture. The goal of this study is to identify and describe the name patterns of Ngincep citizens from 1900s to 2023, to investigate the cultural factors influencing the naming system of Ngincep residents, and to expose individual attention in the naming system as well as to map the language shifts. This research employed ethnographic and interactive models, each of which was implemented by participant observation and interviews. Additionally, sociolinguistic, ethnolinguistic, and onomastic approaches were also involved in this study. This study was located in Ngincep, a village in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province. The data suggest that Javanese people's naming system in Ngincep was significantly affected by social classes, as discovered by Geertz, from the beginning of the 1900s to several decades later. However, the advancement of technology has recently changed this system, as evidenced by the number of words in names and the propensity of groups or individuals in naming children. The reason behind this phenomenon is also supposedly coming from the long-standing flexibility in the naming system for Javanese society, in general, and Yogyakarta Palace servant members, in particular, who are assigned as a part of their responsibilities to preserve Javanese culture and language, one of the cultural products.

Abstract

Death as a literary theme has long served as a reflection on life, existence, and cultural values. This study investigates how social traditions legitimize inherited violence in Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, arguing that the story represents death not as a natural or inevitable occurrence, but as a culturally sanctioned and ideologically constructed event. Employing a qualitative content analysis grounded in structuralist and deconstructive theory, the research examines how meaning is produced through recurring symbols—the black box, stones, and ritual—revealing the mechanisms by which violence becomes normalized within communal structures. By integrating structuralist attention to narrative systems with deconstruction’s critique of fixed meaning, this study contributes to literary scholarship by demonstrating how Jackson’s story functions as a critique of social complicity and ritualized violence. Theoretically, the paper advances discussions on the intersection of ideology, tradition, and power in literary representations of death, offering insights into how fiction can expose the constructed nature of social norms and the ethical consequences of collective obedience.

Abstract

Song lyrics are widely recognized as authentic materials that expose EFL learners to natural language use. One linguistic feature that often challenges learners is phrasal verbs, which frequently appear in everyday communication yet are difficult to interpret due to their semantic complexity. This study aims to analyze phrasal verbs in the song lyrics of Taylor Swift's album 1989. Specifically, the study identifies various types of phrasal verbs and their meanings in context.  Using content analysis, phrasal verbs found in four selected songs were identified and analyzed in terms of their syntactic characteristics and contextual meanings. The results show that phrasal verbs in the lyrics are used not only as grammatical constructions but also as expressive resources to represent emotional states, interpersonal conflict, and relational dynamics. These uses show that song lyrics can support learners in understanding phrasal verbs through meaningful contextual use. Therefore, the study highlights the pedagogical potential of popular song lyrics as authentic materials for facilitating EFL vocabulary learning, particularly in helping learners comprehend and use phrasal verbs more naturally.   Keywords: authentic materials, EFL, phrasal verbs, song lyrics, vocabulary learning
