Abstract

Language acquisition is a dynamic process, especially during the formative years of childhood. This research delves into the depths of psycholinguistics to explore the effectiveness of using cartoons as a dynamic tool in enhancing lexical enrichment in the development of English vocabulary. The study aims to ascertain the influence of cartoons on the development of students' English vocabulary using psycholinguistic theory. This research adopts a qualitative approach. The data for this study pertain to the development of students' English vocabulary, with cartoons serving as the primary source of data. Data were collected through participant observation, with the researcher observing students' language acquisition and lexical mastery in the classroom. Additionally, interviews were conducted with students and English language teachers regarding the enhancement of students' English vocabulary acquisition, employing the recording technique. Once the data were collected, the researcher transcribed the speech data into written form, documenting the vocabulary acquired by students after watching cartoons. Subsequently, the data underwent reduction, classification, and analysis. The results of this study indicate several influences of cartoons on the development of students' language skills, including enhanced understanding of the English language, acquisition of new vocabulary, improved listening skills, introduction to culture and context, enjoyable learning experiences, comprehension of expressions and emotions, and the cultivation of speaking skills. Consequently, cartoons can be considered valuable learning aids, although it is advisable to use them in conjunction with more structured learning methods, such as English courses, textbooks, or tutors, to achieve more optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

In contemporary communication dynamics, the usage of taboo words has become a focal point, reflecting the intricacies of human interaction. This study employs a forensic linguistic approach to delve into this phenomenon, specifically aiming to elucidate the underlying linguistic dynamics shaping language use in daily interactions. The analysis process incorporates specific forensic linguistic techniques, including discourse analysis and linguistic methodologies, to investigate the role of taboo words as significant evidence in both legal and social contexts. Through a fusion of qualitative research methods, data comprising taboo words, phrases, and sentences are gathered from community discourse via participant observation methods. Researchers meticulously document discourse through various means such as recordings, notes, and interviews, subsequently transcribing and categorizing the collected data. The findings of the analysis reveal three societal taboos: fear, delicacy, and propriety. Furthermore, this research concludes with a statement highlighting the broader implications of the findings, emphasizing the importance of understanding language's role in shaping social reality not only in everyday interactions but also in forensic contexts. This contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic dynamics and their relevance in both legal and social spheres

Abstract

Traditional Bantengan art is not only a rich cultural heritage laden with meanings and symbolism but also reflects the richness and complexity of society. This research aims to explore the functions, symbolic meanings, moral significance, and existence of traditional Bantengan art through the lens of cultural semiotics. Through the cultural semiotics approach, various elements such as gestures, music, and visual symbols in Bantengan performances are dissected to understand the complexity and diversity of meanings created. Furthermore, this research explores the adaptation and evolution of Bantengan art in the context of social, political, and economic dynamics in the era of globalization. This is a qualitative study, with data focusing on functions, symbolic meanings, moral significance, and existence, sourced from traditional Bantengan art. The method used to collect data is the participatory observation method. Researchers observe traditional Bantengan performances through recording and note-taking techniques. Additionally, interviews are conducted with religious figures, elders, artists, cultural experts, and the communities of Mojokerto and Malang, along with document analysis. After data collection, the researcher reduces and classifies the data by type. Subsequently, the researcher verifies and codes the data according to its type. The interpreted data is then presented in tables. The results of the research indicate that traditional Bantengan art encompasses various functions, symbolic meanings, and moral messages reflecting the spirit of courage, solidarity, and sacrifice of the community during the resistance against the Dutch colonialists. Nevertheless, the existence of Bantengan art in the cities of Malang and Mojokerto remains enduring, signifying its value and continuity within local culture

Abstract

The importance of English as a second language (L2) has heightened in the era of globalization, with individuals worldwide striving for proficiency in academic, professional, and social contexts. This study investigates the influence of watching English-language songs on L2 acquisition, with a particular focus on psycholinguistic aspects. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from selected songs such as "Happier," "All I Want," "Glimpse of Us," and "Oops!... Did It Again." Through participant observation, researchers evaluate the impact of these songs on comprehension, pronunciation, listening skills, and reading abilities. Interviews further delve into the research objectives, supported by recordings and note-taking. The analysis, utilizing reflective interpretive methods, draws upon the experiences of both researchers and respondents. Oral data undergoes transcription, classification, reduction, and verification, which are then organized into tables for interpretation. The findings indicate that exposure to English songs enhances L2 proficiency, particularly in improving understanding of meaning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, listening acuity, and reading fluency. These results hold significant implications for language teaching practices and future research on L2 acquisition. Integrating English songs into curricula provides engaging avenues for learners to develop listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading skills. Incorporating diverse, authentic language materials, such as songs, enriches learning environments by reflecting real-life language usage. The study highlights the value of qualitative methodologies, such as participant observation and interviews, in comprehending the psycholinguistic processes involved in L2 acquisition. Future research could explore various song types, genres, and proficiency levels, while also assessing the long-term impacts of music-based language teaching. In conclusion, these findings contribute to evidence-based language teaching practices and advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in L2 acquisition
