Abstract

Many students struggle to identify pronouns in sentences, a critical aspect of English grammar necessary for constructing clear and coherent communication. Pronouns play a vital role in sentence structure by replacing nouns to avoid redundancy, yet their correct usage poses challenges for learners. This study investigates the proficiency of tenth-grade students at SMA Swasta Cerdas Bangsa in identifying pronouns in English sentences and explores the specific difficulties they face. The research aimed to evaluate students' ability to recognize different types of pronouns and pinpoint areas requiring instructional support. Adopting a case study methodology, the study collected data from 30 students in class X.1 through a 30-item test consisting of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. Results showed that only 41% of the students correctly identified pronouns, with common challenges including confusion in pronoun selection and insufficient understanding of pronoun usage. These findings highlight the need for targeted teaching strategies, such as explicit grammar instruction and contextualized exercises, to enhance students' grammatical competence and overall language proficiency.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital linguistics—emoji use, code-switching, and hashtags—in shaping employee engagement within a private logistics company in Medan, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with employees actively engaged in internal digital communication, and were analyzed thematically. Findings indicate that emojis help soften messages, reduce tension, and foster warmth in workplace interactions. Code-switching between Indonesian, English, and local dialects functions as a social adaptation strategy and professional identity marker. Hashtags, though less frequent, act as symbolic tools for uniting teams, reinforcing collective identity, and emphasizing project goals. Together, these practices enrich digital communication and support the dimensions of vigor, dedication, and absorption in employee engagement. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Media Richness Theory (MRT), this research underscores digital linguistics as a strategic HRM tool for enhancing engagement, while highlighting organizational reputation and governance as crucial supporting factors.

Abstract

Language is more than a communication tool; it embodies cultural identity, social hierarchy, and shared values. In the Batu Bara Malay community, address systems function as structured linguistic expressions of age, rank, kinship, and familiarity, with respect and politeness being integral to interpersonal interactions—especially in addressing elders or individuals of higher status. However, the advent of globalization and social media has introduced new modes of communication among the younger generation, creating tension between traditional norms and emerging language practices. This study investigates the address systems and politeness strategies in the Batu Bara Malay community, focusing on how these are used and transformed in social interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and linguistic ethnography, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving native speakers across varying ages and social strata. The findings highlight the complex variety of address terms and politeness strategies that reflect deep-rooted cultural values and social order. Despite generational shifts, the community continues to uphold linguistic traditions as a means of preserving cultural identity and maintaining social cohesion.

Abstract

This study examines how intellectual disability and structural injustice are constructed in Miracle in Cell No. 7, directed by Hanung Bramantyo. It aims to analyze the discursive construction of disability and the reproduction of structural discrimination within legal and social contexts. Using a qualitative research design with a critical discourse analysis approach, this study applies Critical Disability Theory to interpret selected dialogues and key scenes that reflect power relations and institutional practices within the narrative. The findings reveal that intellectual disability is constructed as deviance within legal discourse, leading to discursive marginalization and the denial of agency. Discrimination operates structurally through institutional mechanisms such as coercive interrogation, lack of accommodation, and biased legal procedures within the criminal justice system. At the social level, stigma and dominant cultural narratives construct disability as a marker of danger and incompetence, reinforcing exclusion and legitimizing injustice. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting how cinematic narratives reproduce institutionalized ableism across both legal and social domains. It contributes to Critical Disability Studies by emphasizing discrimination as a multidimensional and structurally embedded phenomenon shaped by power relations. Practically, the study underscores the need for disability-inclusive legal frameworks and increased social awareness to promote justice, equality, and dignity for persons with disabilities.
