Abstract

Landscape Linguistics is a study that focuses on the use of language in public spaces, both monolingual, bilingual and multilingual. The purpose of this study is to analyze the linguistic psychology of landscapes in public spaces on Buru Island. The research method used is qualitative. In this study, researchers took sources from the nameplate or baleho found on Buru Island, precisely in Namlea Village. The data sources are several photos in public places on Buru Island. Analysis of research data, namely when researchers collect the results of information board documentation scattered on Buru Island, all of the documentation is classified according to their respective characteristics, namely, signboards, billboards and other information. Then the meaning and function are determined by using Landscape linguistic studies. The results of the study found that in the public space of the Buru Island community there were two variations of the language used, namely Indonesian and the Maluku dialect, as well as the Landscape function, namely Formal and Informal

Abstract

This study explores the role of humor in developing students’ creative writing skills and cultural awareness in higher education contexts. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involved undergraduate students enrolled in a Creative Writing course at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of students’ literary works produced through humor-based learning activities. The findings reveal that humor serves as an effective pedagogical resource that stimulates imagination, facilitates idea generation, and creates an enjoyable learning environment that encourages active participation in writing activities. Students demonstrated improvements in thematic originality, creative expression, imagery, and the ability to reinterpret everyday experiences through literary language. Furthermore, humor contributed to the development of cultural awareness by enabling students to reflect on social realities, local traditions, and cultural values embedded in humorous narratives and experiences. Through the process of transforming humorous observations into literary texts, students developed a deeper appreciation of cultural diversity and a greater sensitivity toward social issues within their communities. Despite challenges related to diction, figurative language, and maintaining stylistic consistency, the findings suggest that humor-based learning provides an innovative and meaningful approach to creative writing instruction. The study highlights the potential of humor as both an affective and experiential learning resource for fostering creativity, cultural literacy, and reflective engagement in literary education.

Abstract

Background: Linguistic landscape studies have predominantly focused on written texts in contemporary public spaces. This study extends the concept of Semiotic Landscapes to pre-literate contexts by examining the pictograms of Liangkabori Cave in Muna as a form of prehistoric public communication. This study aims to analyze how the pictograms in Liangkabori Cave function as elements of a prehistoric semiotic landscape that convey visual communication and social meaning. Methodology: This qualitative study applies a visual semiotics approach integrated with archaeological analysis. Data were obtained from hematite-based pictograms, supported by 3D scanning and spectroscopic analysis to examine painting techniques on karst surfaces. Findings: The pictograms appear to serve both informational and symbolic functions. Hunting and boat motifs suggest representations of subsistence strategies and maritime orientation. The kite motif may indicate an understanding of basic aerodynamic principles and communal practices, while the sun symbol can be interpreted as reflecting cosmological beliefs. These findings are interpretive and do not directly represent verifiable historical intentions. Conclusion:  Liangkabori Cave can be understood as a form of prehistoric visual communication system. The findings suggest that visual representations were likely used to convey ecological knowledge, maritime practices, and belief systems. However, these interpretations remain tentative and highlight the importance of further interdisciplinary research and conservation efforts. Originality:  This study contributes to linguistic landscape research by extending its scope to prehistoric contexts and proposing rock art as a form of semiotic landscape in pre-literate societies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of a functional pragmatic approach in developing students' contextual understanding of literary works. The functional pragmatic approach emphasizes the importance of context in interpreting text meaning, considering the social, cultural, and situational backgrounds that influence communication in literature. In literature education, this method helps students go beyond understanding the literal content of a text. It encourages them to explore the deeper layers of meaning by considering the relationship between the author, the reader, and the broader societal context in which the text was produced. The research employs a qualitative case study design, engaging literature students as participants to examine how this approach is implemented in real classroom settings. The study utilizes several data collection techniques, including observations, interviews, and document analysis. These methods allow the researcher to comprehensively understand how the functional pragmatic approach is applied during literature lessons and its impact on students' comprehension. The findings indicate that this approach significantly enhances students' ability to critically analyze the meaning of texts and deepen their understanding of the social and cultural contexts embedded in the literature.Additionally, it fosters an appreciation for the values and messages conveyed through literary works. The study's implications suggest that incorporating a functional pragmatic approach in literature instruction could powerfully support the development of students' contextual understanding and critical thinking skills. By emphasizing the importance of context in literary analysis, this approach can help students engage with texts on a deeper level, making literature more meaningful and relevant to their lives.

Abstract

This study investigates the linguistic landscape of the Indonesian National Shipping Company (PELNI) vessels, focusing on signage related to navigation, facilities, safety, and behavioral regulation. Data were collected through systematic documentation of room labels, prohibition signs, facility information, safety instructions, and general notices, and were supplemented by participatory observation and informal interviews with passengers and crew. The analysis reveals that the linguistic landscape is dominated by top-down signage produced by institutional authorities, with Indonesian consistently occupying the primary position, while English appears selectively as a supplementary language. Drawing on Landry and Bourhis’s (1997) framework, the study demonstrates that signage on PELNI ships serves both informational and symbolic functions: guiding spatial navigation and ensuring passenger safety, while simultaneously communicating institutional authority and reinforcing national identity. The results indicate that multilingual signage effectively coordinates safety procedures and administrative compliance, establishing the ship as a site of state authority. Ultimately, this research clarifies how the physical arrangement of signs on the Surabaya-Jayapura route manages passenger movement and enforces institutional rules within a confined maritime setting.
