Abstract

This study examines semantic errors in the use of the Indonesian word acuh, which is frequently misinterpreted as “not to care.” The focus of the research is on captions posted by the Instagram account Tribun Medan Daily. The objective of the study is to describe the forms of these semantic inaccuracies and to analyze public perceptions of the word’s meaning. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected from Instagram captions and a closed-ended questionnaire administered to students of Universitas Prima Indonesia. Data analysis followed the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that 61.5% of respondents interpreted the word acuh as “not to care,” which contradicts its official definition in the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI).The discrepancy in lexical meaning, as observed in the word acuh, along with morphophonemic inaccuracies such as the use of nonstandard forms, does not merely reflect individual linguistic errors; rather, it constitutes a systemic phenomenon that can be explained through multiple linguistic frameworks, including structural, generative, functional, and cognitive perspectives.

The participants were two groups of students, the total respondents were 42 first year civil engineering students. Pre-test and post-test were given to assess students’ ability and motivation in learning specialized English words used in civil engineering field before and after the learning strategy implemented. In the post test, students showed the improvement of learning motivation and ability compared to the result in the pre-test. It could be seen from the average scores the students achieved by group 1 and group 2 in the post test were 84.3 and 84.2, respectively. The scores were much higher compared to the average score gotten by the group 1 and group 2 in the pre-test, which were 55 and 54.7, respectively. It could be summed up that Mentimeter learning website could boost English learning motivation which in turn increased learning performance in learning technical English vocabulary for civil engineering students. Once students highly motivated the performance and ability also increase sharply.
