Abstract

The research investigates face-threatening acts (FTAs) in the fourth vice-presidential election debate in Indonesia, applying a pragmatic approach to analyze how strategies and acts used impact the candidates’ electability and credibility. This study also focused on the word choices during the debate that can be considered rude or put the other candidates in an uncomfortable situation and how this affects the flow of debate. Qualitative procedures including display data, quoting, and authentication were used in the data analysis process. By applying the politeness theory of Brown and Levinson, the study classifies and divides the FTAs into positive and negative faces. According to the study, the three candidates regularly use strategies meant to harm the public perceptions of their opponents in order to influence voter opinions and affect election results. The research offers insights into the purpose of communication tactics in political debates and their broader impact on political discourse and election outcomes by comprehending the dynamics of FTAs in this high-stakes environment.

Abstract

This research investigates the contextual aspects and lexical semantics of the word "look" within the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). By examining how "look" functions across different contexts, this study aims to uncover the multifaceted nature of its meaning and usage. The research is grounded in semantic theory, drawing on the works of Leech, and other prominent linguists to explore how meaning is constructed and conveyed through language. Key focuses include the categorization of "look" across various parts of speech, such as verbs, nouns, and interjections, and the examination of its idiomatic, non-idiomatic, and compositional meanings. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, analyzing linguistic data from COCA to identify patterns and themes in the usage of "look." This research aims to elucidate the complex interplay between context and meaning, offering insights into the cognitive processes involved in language comprehension and production. The findings highlight the significance of semantics in understanding language, particularly how specific words can convey a wide range of meanings depending on their contextual usage. Overall, this research contributes to the field of lexical semantics by providing a comprehensive analysis of the word "look," demonstrating its versatility and the intricate mechanisms by which meaning is negotiated in language. The research has implications for linguistic theory, language education, and the development of more precise language processing systems.

Abstract

This research examines the impoliteness strategies employed during the third Indonesian Presidential Debate of 2024 from a pragmatic perspective. Using Jonathan Culpeper's theories of impoliteness (1996, 2011) as a theoretical framework, the research aims to identify and analyze the types of impoliteness strategies used by presidential candidates and determine their functions within the debate context. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from the Kompas TV YouTube channel's broadcast of the debate. The research focuses on identifying instances of bald-on-record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm/mock politeness, and withhold politeness. Additionally, it examines whether these strategies serve affective, coercive, or entertaining functions. Preliminary analysis reveals the presence of four types of impoliteness strategies: bald-on-record, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm. Notably, bald-on-record impoliteness emerged as the most frequently used strategy, while no instances of withhold politeness were observed. The affective function was found to be the most prevalent, suggesting that candidates often employ impoliteness to express emotions and influence audience perceptions. This research contributes to the field of pragmatics by providing insights into language use in high-stakes political contexts. It also offers a deeper understanding of how impoliteness strategies can impact public perception and the democratic process in Indonesia. The findings may serve as a valuable resource for future studies on political discourse and communication strategies in presidential debates.

Abstract

Children are naturally fond of stories that integrate meaning and humor yet engagingly deliver life principles and concepts. Stories provide not only entertainment but also a means of learning about various habits, cultures, and arrays of human experiences. In recent years, a remarkable shift has occurred in which children, previously passive consumers of stories, have become active contributors as child authors. In Bandung, the capital city of West Java capital city, a national publisher has emerged as a facilitator for child authors, allowing them to publish their creative works. This platform has published 536 novels written by young minds over the last two decades under the brand Kecil-Kecil Punya Karya (KKPK). This paper investigates the theme and genre preferred by child authors for their novels and to what extent immediate social factors influence their writing and topic preferences. This research may contribute valuable insights into the intersection of sociolinguistics, education, and societal influence by understanding the dynamics of child authorship. The results show that the themes preferred by the child authors are adventure and exploration, family and affection, friendship and mystery, and problem-solving. Immediate environment; family and school play a tremendous role in introducing, nurturing, and developing early literacy routines for child authors that lead to a positive productive literacy culture.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of Socratic questioning method (SQM) to enhance students’ critical thinking capability. The method used in this research was descriptive – the method that describes a given state of affairs as fully and carefully as possible (Fraenkel, 1990:11). Twelve students of English Department S-1 Program sitting in the 4th semester participate in this research. This SQM is applied in learning process for the subject of Academic Presentation. Data were gathered through the two instruments, classroom observation and closed-ended questionnaires. The questionnaire consisted of ten items divided into six parts: understanding of SQM, critical thinking capabilities, application of SQM, effectiveness of SQM, perception of learning using SQM, and effects on critical thinking capability The results of the study indicate that: 1) the questions posed by the students are in level of analysis, 2) the contents of the questions posed cover identifying, relating, analyzing, and making inferences of the topics under discussion, and 3) the benefits of using SQM include provoking deep analysis, promoting critical thinking, making the one being asked think hard, maintaining learning motivation, and making students feel confident during the discussion sessions. The implementation of the Socratic Questioning Method (SQM) in the "Academic Presentation" course at Widyatama University has led to positive changes in students' learning experiences. SQM encourages students to engage in thoughtful dialogue, ask meaningful questions, and think critically. The findings suggest that SQM can enhance students' critical thinking abilities, foster deep analysis, and improve confidence and motivation in academic discussions.Key Words: Socratic Questioning Method (SQM), critical thinking, learning process

Abstract

Accomplishment in higher education recently depends on the ability to communicate effectively in English; due to increasingly globalized academic setting. This essay investigates the creative ways that speaking technology and cross-language exercises might be combined to improve students' proficiency in English communication. By utilizing students' current linguistic resources, cross-language practices, which entail the purposeful use of different languages, can promote deeper comprehension and retention of English language abilities. When combined with cutting-edge speaking technology, such AI-driven language learning tools and speech recognition software, these approaches provide a dynamic and engaging means of honing English communication skills. With a focus on practical application in academic and professional contexts, the study investigates the effects of these combined techniques on students' language proficiency. This research is a comparable passage that has been adjusted for the study's setting. The study involved 45 students from different academic disciplines, 60% of whom were female and 40% of whom were male, and used a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach to investigate their views and experiences about cross-language practices in combination with speaking technology. Surveys, pre- and post-speaking evaluations for descriptive analysis, and reflective notebooks for qualitative insights were all used in the data collection process. The study of descriptive data was done using theme analysis. As evidenced by the overwhelmingly favorable response from participants, the data showed that integrating student languages alongside English, backed by speaking technology, dramatically increased their English communication skills.
