Abstract

This study examines the forms and functions of idiolect on the Instagram account @adindafala from a sociolinguistic perspective. The focus of the study is directed toward the use of distinctive language that reflects the speaker’s identity in digital communication. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data sources consisting of captions and stories posted on the Instagram account @adindafala. The data were collected through observation and documentation techniques, then analysed by identifying the forms of idiolect and the language functions used by the speaker. The results of the study indicate that the idiolect found on the Instagram account @adindafala is manifested through the use of code-mixing, phonological changes, regional language interference, slang, abbreviations, language play, and graphological variations. These forms demonstrate a tendency toward the use of creative and communicative nonstandard language in social media. In addition, personal and representational functions were identified in the speaker’s language use. The personal function is reflected through the use of humorous, expressive, casual, and nonstandard language to describe the speaker’s daily experiences, while the representational function is used to convey information related to the speaker’s activities and situations. The findings of this study show that idiolect on social media serves as a form of linguistic expression influenced by digital communication culture and interlanguage interaction.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the phenomenon of multilingual naming in food and beverage businesses in Jambi City, including identifying word types and the reasons behind their name choices. The research method used  a qualitative descriptive approach focused on the presentation and in-depth interpretation of linguistic data. Data collection techniques were conducted through direct field observations to document business signage and in-depth interviews with business owners to explore naming motivations. Data analysis techniques were applied by classifying language use based on the type of meaning and function of the linguistic landscape, which were then interpreted to identify sociolinguistic trends in society. The results show that a number of culinary businesses in Jambi City extensively use multilingual naming, both entirely and in a hybrid manner. Some examples of naming found include Brownmix, Kafaaf, D'Box, D'BestO, Casa de Alicia, Haus Tea, and Love. These findings indicate that multilingual use has two main functions: informative and symbolic. The informative function is reflected in the use of foreign languages ​​to concisely describe product types or business images. Meanwhile, the symbolic function is seen in the efforts of business owners to build a modern, prestigious, and globally oriented identity to increase business competitiveness in the public space of Jambi.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structure of positive discourse in the speech delivered by Joko Widodo at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. This research employs a qualitative approach using the discourse analysis framework of Teun A. van Dijk, which includes macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure, combined with the Positive Discourse Analysis approach. The findings reveal that the structure of positive discourse can be identified through macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. At the macrostructure level, the speech presents a main theme of Indonesia’s economic transformation toward a data- and technology-based intelligence economy. At the superstructure level, the speech is systematically organized into three main parts—introduction, body, and conclusion—forming a logical and persuasive flow. Meanwhile, at the microstructure level, the analysis covers semantic, syntactic, stylistic, and rhetorical aspects that function to reinforce positive messages such as optimism, progress, and readiness for the future. Therefore, the speech is not only informative but also persuasive and inspirational in constructing a positive image of Indonesia on the global stage.

Abstract

: This research is driven by the low poetry writing skills among students at SMP N 17 Tanjung Jabung Timur. The primary challenges identified include difficulties in generating ideas and utilizing meaningful diction. The objective of this study is to describe the improvement in students' poetry writing abilities through the application of a semiotic approach based on local wisdom. The implementation methods consisted of preparation, training, content production practice, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The research subjects involved 7th and 8th-grade students of SMP N 17 Tanjung Jabung Timur. Data collection techniques included poetry writing tests, classroom activity observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The results indicate a significant increase in the average scores of students' poetry writing abilities. Qualitatively, students were able to transform local cultural signs—such as coastal community traditions and the mangrove ecosystem—into profound poetic metaphors through the analysis of icons, indices, and symbols. The study concludes that a semiotic approach based on local wisdom is effective in improving the quality of students' poetry while simultaneously strengthening local cultural literacy.
