Abstract

Differences between men's and women's language use are due to the structure of the language, social norms, or the people in society who use the language. Holmes also explained that standard speech forms usually refer to women and femininity. A theory mentioned a particular woman's speech pattern that suggested fragility, unsureness, and unimportance. This research aimed to investigate the features used by Dalia Mogahed in her Islamic lecture Body Image Reality and Standards to prove the theory. The research method in this study is categorized as qualitative research since the descriptive data in this study is presented in spoken or written words by people. The researcher found 6 out of 10 features used by Dalia; they are lexical hedges, tag questions, rising intonation, empty adjectives, intensifiers, and hypercorrect grammar. It can be concluded that women in majority prefer using feminine features to bargain the position in the society.

Abstract

This study examines the conversion narrative of Dr. Bilal Phillips using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. Focusing on semantic structure, social cognition, and social context, the research draws data from a YouTube interview video titled “From Ex-Communist to Islamic Scholar.” The semantic analysis reveals presupposition, detail, and nominalization, while social cognition reflects person, self, and role schemas. The analysis of social context highlights the influence of power and access in shaping discourse. This study shows how digital narratives construct ideological shift and spiritual identities, offering insight into the persuasive power of discourse in religious transformation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the interplay between Indonesian celebrity’s controversial issues and the responses of haters as seen in the on-line hate speech. To have a better understanding of the controversies, a case study was applied, in the meantime, the issue of hate speech was viewed from content analysis. The data concerning the celebrity’s life were taken from both printed and on-line media; meanwhile, the ones relating to hate speech were gathered from two mainstream social media platforms: Instagram and Twitter spanning from 2015 to 2022. The results of the study indicate that there are three controversial issues which might bring about hate speech: celebrity’s past controversial marriage life, the status as a divorcee who often changes boyfriends, and the family’s controversies. In addition, haters’ reaction toward those controversial issues were expressed through swearing, the use of euphemism and dysphemism consisting of social, personality, religious insults, satanic expression, provocations, mockery, anger expressions written with capital letters, and accusation for blowing up the reputation relating to family. The hate speech expressed by Indonesian netizens is in serious condition and can influence other aspect of life in society.

Abstract

Generation Z increasingly relies on slang as a linguistic resource to express identity, negotiate belonging, and build intimacy in digital communication, making it an important site of sociolinguistic and semantic change. However, most existing studies focus on broad usage patterns rather than examining how individual influencers strategically use slang to construct their online personas. Addressing this gap, this study analyzes Awkarin’s use of Gen Z slang on Instagram and YouTube through a qualitative sociolinguistic and semantic approach. The analysis identifies various slang forms—such as acronyms, neologisms, semantic shifts, and code-mixing—and their communicative functions in shaping influencer–audience interaction. Findings reveal that slang serves not only as informal vocabulary but as a strategic resource for identity performance, emotional expression, and audience engagement. This study contributes to sociolinguistic and semantic research by showing how influencers act as linguistic mediators who adapt and circulate Gen Z slang within Indonesian digital culture, highlighting slang as both a social practice and a site of meaning innovation.

Abstract

This research aims to examine textual features, investigate discursive practices, and analyze social practices that reveal the ideological constructions embedded in Gen Z’s slang on Instagram, utilizing Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Data were obtained from 31 purposively selected public Instagram posts that contained frequently used slang expressions, such as "delulu," "roasting," and "rizz." The analysis was conducted through three interrelated stages: textual analysis (examining linguistic patterns, metaphors, and emojis), discursive practice analysis (exploring production, circulation, and audience interpretation), and social practice analysis (interpreting the broader ideological context). Findings reveal that Gen Z’s slang reflects ideologies of individualism, irony, authenticity, and digital resistance, functioning not only as a linguistic trend but also as a discursive tool for negotiating power and identity in online communication. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language and ideology intersect within contemporary digital discourse, highlighting the socio-cultural significance of youth language in shaping online interactions.

Abstract

Modality is a salient notion in language, manifested through modal verbs. However, modal verbs are complex grammatical units since they have multiple functions and meanings. Previous studies have shown mismatches between actual language use and its presentation in textbooks, including modal verb representation in both EFL and ESL contexts. This study explored the distributional frequencies of modal verbs in Indonesian EFL textbooks compared to those in Malaysian ESL textbooks. It compiled the textbook conversation corpora from secondary education levels in Indonesia and Malaysia: two Indonesian EFL textbooks (IET) and two Malaysian ESL textbooks (MET), which are nationally endorsed. The corpora comprised 4,548 tokens collected from the conversations in the textbooks. Data collection involved corpus queries focusing on nine core/central modal verbs: can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and must. The results show that Indonesian and Malaysian textbooks shared the same most frequent modal verb distribution; however, other distributions differed. Besides, English modal verbs in Indonesian textbooks are more static with one-to-one correspondence, while Malaysian textbooks present more dynamic modal verb meanings. Notably, Indonesian EFL textbooks have complete modal meaning representation, which is absent in Malaysian textbooks. Interestingly, the modal verb distributions in both textbooks differ from those in a native corpus, representing actual English use. These results highlight the need for more careful consideration when designing and developing teaching materials, especially in ESL and EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the linguistic units used in the dialogues between characters that reveal differences in men’s and women’s language use, and to analyze the contextual meanings and gender inequality that appeared in the Korean drama series When Life Gives You Tangerines. This research is categorized as a descriptive qualitative study employing a sociolinguistic approach, specifically drawing on the theories of Peter Trudgill (2000) and Janet Holmes (2013). The data, in the form of phrases, clauses, and sentences that represent gender inequality, were taken from the selected dialogues in the series and analyzed through identification, classification, and interpretation, based on Judith Lorber's (2001) framework. The study found that, based on the contextual meaning of two phrases, six clauses, and four sentences, a patriarchal ideology exists in Korean society. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that gender inequality is evident in the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. These include unequal access, economic gaps, political underrepresentation, and societal stereotypes.

Abstract

This study employs Teun A. van Dijk’s framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the deeper socio-political discourse embedded within Gojira’s song Amazonia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the research is conducted in two phases: an initial stage of library research for data collection and theoretical grounding, followed by systematic textual analysis. The investigation relies on the song’s lyrics and supporting literature to uncover its profound meaning and broader social context. A systematic dissection of the text reveals a potent discourse of resistance against capitalist exploitation and environmental plunder. The song functions as an artistic expression of grief and mourning for the Amazon rainforest’s extensive anthropogenic destruction. The analysis is structured across three discursive layers as conceptualized by van Dijk. At the microstructure level, the study identifies prominent stylistic and rhetorical devices—notably antithesis, symbolism, and metaphor—that intensify the song’s message. The superstructure analysis examines the overall compositional scheme, demonstrating how lyrical segments are cohesively organized to build a compelling narrative arc. Finally, the macrostructure uncovers the song’s central themes: environmental destruction, systemic exploitation, and the underlying motives driving this crisis. This layer connects the text to social cognition and context, emphasizing the causal relationship between human activity and ecological damage. The research underscores the value of analyzing artistic works as vehicles for socio-environmental critique. It concludes that Amazonia serves as a deliberate tool for advocacy, raising environmental awareness and inspiring activism to confront the ongoing crisis facing the Amazon rainforest.
