Abstract

Linguistics, as the scientific study of language, provides a fundamental framework for understanding how learners acquire and develop their linguistic competence. However, many students still face difficulties in achieving adequate mastery of language skills, which can hinder their academic performance. This study aims to examine the influence of language learning strategies on students’ linguistic competence. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey design with a sample of undergraduate students from the English Department. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire based on Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and a linguistic competence test covering phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The results of regression analysis indicate that language learning strategies have a significant positive effect on students’ linguistic competence, with metacognitive and cognitive strategies showing the strongest influence. These findings suggest that effective use of language learning strategies enhances students’ understanding of linguistic principles and improves their overall performance in linguistics courses. The study highlights the pedagogical implication that lecturers should integrate strategy-based instruction in the classroom to optimize students’ linguistic development.

Abstract

This study explores prosodic analysis as a method to recognize speech impairment in the elderly. The background shows that physiological and neurological changes often affect intonation patterns, rhythm, intensity, and vocal quality, thus impacting communication fluency. The method used was qualitative with in vivo voice recording, interviews, and signal analysis using sound processing software. The results found a decrease in pitch frequency range, slowness of speech rhythm, and decreased voice intensity, indicating a decline in phonation function among the elderly. The implication is that the prosodic approach can be an early screening tool, enabling more appropriate clinical and speech therapy interventions to maintain the quality of life of the elderly.

The results of this study have implications for understanding the linguistic strategies used in popular songs to capture listeners' attention and convey complex emotional narratives. This research also contributes to the broader field of pragmatics by demonstrating the applicability of deixis analysis in song lyrics, potentially informing future research in linguistic analysis of song lyrics and discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of non-observance maxims that trigger implicatures in the interview with Ganjar Pranowo, a prominent political figure in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, the primary data source utilized was Youtube video of the exclusive interview with Ganjar Pranowo by TvOne, which were transcribed for analysis. Drawing on Grice's theory of conversational implicature, highlighting the implicit meanings conveyed through deviations from the four maxims of effective communication: quantity, quality, relation, and manner, this research delves into Ganjar Pranowo's communication strategies, particularly focusing on deviations from the cooperative principles in communication. This study reveals that Ganjar Pranowo frequently employs particularized implicatures to convey additional messages beyond the literal meaning of his words. This approach not only adds layers of meaning but also showcases the strategic use of language to imply information indirectly. Additionally, the study identifies instances where Ganjar Pranowo deliberately limits the information provided during interviews, further complicating the interpretative process for listeners. These findings illustrate the complexity of human communication dynamics, where implied messages and implicit communication strategies significantly influence the understanding of spoken words. This study offers profound insights into Ganjar Pranowo's adept use of language and implicatures to communicate nuanced messages. It highlights the intricacies of human communication processes and the subtle dynamics of interaction between speakers, emphasizing the importance of context and inference in effective communication.
