Abstract

This study examines the use of metadiscourse in English, Indonesian, and Arabic research article abstracts from the Studia Islamika journal, published between 2014 and 2023. Focusing on enhancing cross-cultural academic communication, the research analyzes how authors affiliated with Islamic higher education institutions employ metadiscourse to engage readers and position their work within the scholarly field. Using Hyland's (2005) metadiscourse framework, the study identifies distinct patterns in the distribution and realization of interactive and interactional metadiscourse elements across the three languages. Transitions are the most frequently employed interactive feature, with a stronger reliance on frame markers in Indonesian and Arabic abstracts. However, the absence of self-mentions and engagement markers across all three languages suggests a shared preference for a formal academic tone. These findings provide valuable insights into metadiscourse practices in Islamic studies abstracts, offering guidance for scholars in preparing manuscripts for publication. Additionally, this research underscores the importance of focusing on metadiscourse in academic writing within language education departments at Islamic higher education institutions, enhancing scholars’ writing skills and promoting awareness of cultural and linguistic nuances when addressing a global audience.

Abstract

Lexical bundles are essential components of academic discourse, contributing to linguistic fluency in written and spoken communication. Their role is particularly crucial in publishing research articles in high-impact international journals. While previous studies have explored lexical bundle usage across various sections of research articles, little research has compared their use in accepted versus rejected introductions. This study aims to address this gap by examining the similarities and differences in lexical bundle usage within the introductions of accepted and rejected hard science research articles written by Indonesian scholars. This study employs a mixed-methods comparative research design. It analyzes 30 research article introductions from a hard science Scopus-indexed journal based on Bibers structural (noun/prepositional phrase-based) and Hylands functional (research-oriented, text-oriented, participant-oriented) frameworks. The findings indicate that accepted introductions contain a higher frequency of four-word lexical bundles. Structurally, both datasets are dominated by noun/prepositional phrase bundles and research-oriented bundles, but accepted introductions feature more structurally complete units. Functionally, research-oriented bundles are the most prevalent in both groups, emphasizing research processes and results in hard science writing. However, distinct differences in structural and functional subcategories suggest that proficiency in formulaic expressions may influence manuscript acceptance. This study contributes to understanding lexical bundle use in academic writing and provides practical implications for writing pedagogy, particularly for non-native scholars seeking publication in international journals.

Abstract

Multi-word expressions referred to as lexical bundles are the important discourse building blocks to construct and signal fluent writing, particularly in an attempt to produce high-quality research articles that can be accepted by reputable journals. A number of studies have reported the use of lexical bundles in various sections of research articles, including introductions as the holder of research rationale. In spite of that, attention is barely paid to the comparison between accepted and rejected manuscripts. With the intention to fill this gap, this study is aimed at investigating whether the manifestation of lexical bundles will differ between the introduction sections of accepted and rejected research articles in applied linguistics. A total of 15 introductions for each data group were analyzed under the frameworks of lexical bundles structures (Biber et al., 2004) and functions (Hyland, 2008). Findings reveal that noun phrase-based and research-oriented bundles were respectively detected as the most prevalent main structure and function in both accepted and rejected data sets. Closer inspection, however, evinced a greater frequency and richer variety of lexical bundles in accepted introductions. Even so, this study confirmed that the two datasets exhibit different subcategories of lexical bundles in numerous cases. Implicationally, the findings of this study may shed further light on the comprehension of lexical bundles use in preparing related future studies.

Abstract

Research article abstracts play a critical role in academic communication, particularly in Islamic education, as they serve as a gateway for readers to access and evaluate scholarly contributions. This study investigates the rhetorical moves and linguistic features of trilingual paired abstracts (English, Indonesian, and Arabic) in Islamic studies research articles. Using a corpus-based approach and contrastive linguistic analysis, the study examines how authors structure their abstracts and employ linguistic strategies across these three languages. The findings reveal that all three languages follow Hyland’s five-move framework, with Moves 2 (Purpose), 3 (Method), and 5 (Conclusion) being the most common. In contrast, Move 4 (Product) emerged as obligatory across the corpus. At the step level, Step 8 (context and procedures) dominated in the Method move, and Steps 6 and 7 were prevalent for Move 3, while Steps 11 and 12 were rarely used in Move 5. Linguistically, there is a consistent preference for the present tense and active voice, with English abstracts heavily favoring the present tense and Indonesian abstracts relying on non-conjugated verbs. These results have practical implications for language departments in Islamic higher education institutions, guiding the development of academic writing curricula. They also offer insights for researchers in Islamic studies to craft effective abstracts and manuscripts aligned with international academic conventions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the denotative and connotative meanings of the word sponsor in the context of police investigation reports related to human trafficking cases in Indonesia, using a corpus linguistics approach supported by the AntConc software. The data consist of seven BAP documents from victims, witnesses, and suspects of TPPO cases, analyzed using the Word List, Concordance, and Collocates features to identify the frequency and collocational patterns of the word sponsor. The findings reveal that denotatively, sponsor refers to individuals or parties involved in the recruitment of prospective migrant workers. However, connotatively, the term carries a negative implication, often associated with illegal recruitment and exploitation practices embedded within human trafficking networks. Frequent collocates such as who recruited, on behalf of, and requested documents illustrate that sponsor is not semantically neutral, but socially constructed as a key actor in trafficking crimes. The findings indicate that changes in legal terminology are needed to improve accuracy and transparency in legal documents. As such, the results of this study can contribute to efforts to increase transparency and effectiveness of law enforcement in human trafficking cases.

Abstract

The diverse cultural interpretations and expressions of Ramadan across different societies have not been extensively examined through a linguistic perspective, especially comparing Muslim-majority and minority contexts. This study aims to investigate how the word "Ramadan" is used and understood in religious lectures by Indonesian and American Ustaz, focusing on differences influenced by cultural and social environments. The research analyzes a corpus of transcribed lecture videos, processed into .txt format, and examined using AntConc software for word frequency, sentence positioning, distribution, and collocational patterns. The findings reveal that Indonesian lectures emphasize communal worship, ritual practices, and collective spiritual growth. In contrast, American lectures highlight individual faith journeys, personal spiritual struggles, and the challenges of preserving religious identity within a non-Muslim-majority society. These results demonstrate that while both cultures view Ramadan as a time for spiritual purification and seeking forgiveness, the primary distinction lies in the communal versus individual orientation of religious experience.

Abstract

This article explores the difference of tense and aspect use in Arabic academic writing by native and non-native speakers, driven by the challenges non-native speakers face in accurately conveying temporality in academic contexts. Improving non-native proficiency in Arabic grammar is crucial for enhancing the clarity of their research output. The study data consisted of academic articles written by both groups, specifically focusing on the results and discussion sections. Through qualitative analysis, findings revealed that native speakers demonstrate a strong grasp of grammar, with balanced use of past and present tenses and appropriate aspects, effectively expressing both completed and ongoing actions. In contrast, non-native speakers, particularly those from Indonesian backgrounds, tend to overuse the present tense and active voice, indicating difficulties in fully understanding Arabic’s temporal aspects. These results underscored the need for more intensive language instruction focused on mastering Arabic tense and aspect structures to improve non-native academic writing skills.

Abstract

This study explores the ecological, spiritual, and agrarian values embedded in the rice mantras of the Makassar community through an ecosemiotic lens. Employing a qualitative approach, data were drawn from traditional lontarak texts, field observations, and interviews with local farmers and traditional leaders. Analysis utilized the three-dimensional ecolinguistic model by Bang and Døør, biological, sociological, and ideological, alongside Barthes' semiotic theory to interpret signs and meanings within the mantra texts. Findings reveal that these mantras are more than ritual expressions; they serve as oral educational texts that encode agrarian knowledge, cosmological beliefs, and environmental ethics. For instance, expressions like “I will use it for good and enjoyment” convey ecological intent and socio-spiritual gratitude. Meanwhile, metaphors such as “my fortune is like a mountain” construct symbols of abundance tied to divine blessing. Moreover, references to cardinal directions emphasize a cosmic understanding of agriculture as an integrated relationship among humans, nature, and the divine. Viewed through the lens of educational discourse analysis, these mantras represent indigenous eco-pedagogy transmitting values, practical wisdom, and cosmological awareness across generations. The study calls for renewed recognition of local linguistic heritage as cultural artifacts and as sources of environmental education. Future studies are encouraged to explore how agrarian discourses can be integrated into formal and non-formal education to promote ecological literacy and sustainability ethics in rural and urban contexts

Abstract

This research examines Cirebon Javanese phonological variation from a geolinguistic perspective, highlighting the lack of in-depth studies on its phonological structure compared to other Javanese dialects. The aim is to delineate and characterise systematic vowel, consonant, elision, and epenthesis variation across geographical and social settings. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, data were gathered using the Swadesh list from native informants in 267 villages of the Cirebon regency, which comprised a diverse range of social and geographical settings. The data thus obtained were phonetically transcribed and subsequently analysed through a programmed algorithm that sorted phonological differences. The findings demonstrate the presence of systematic vowel shifts (e.g., /a/ → /ɔ/, /i/ → /ə/), consonant alternations (e.g., /b/ ↔ /w/), as well as elision and epenthesis. The above variations are due to internal linguistic factors, such as syllable structure and stress patterns, as well as external sociolinguistic and geographical considerations. The impact is especially marked in the transitional dialect areas with hybrid phonological characteristics due to language contact and social identity dynamics. This study enhances insight into the phonological variation and evolution in multilingual and dialect-diverse areas.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the relationship between hospitality students’ perceptions of lecturer support and their satisfaction with the English for Tourism course delivered in a blended learning format in response to the changing learning environments following the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid increasing demands for technology-integrated instruction in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), this research highlights the role of pedagogical support in shaping student satisfaction.Method – Employing a quantitative correlational approach, this study collected data using validated instruments: the Scale of Perceived Instructor Support (SPIS) and the ESP Student Satisfaction Scale. Out of 92 students enrolled in the course, 47 (51.1%) participated voluntarily. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was applied to examine the relationship between perceived lecturer support and student satisfaction. Findings – Results indicated that students perceived moderate to high levels of support from their lecturers and reported a generally positive experience with the course, as reflected in a strong positive correlation (r=0.732, p < 0.01) between lecturer support and student satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of lecturer presence, interpersonal connection, and responsive feedback in blended ESP instruction. Research Implications – The study contributes to the growing literature of ESP pedagogy and blended learning by affirming the crucial role of lecturer support in shaping positive student experiences. The research is limited by its single-institution scope, modest sample size, and insufficient examination of factors affecting students’ willingness to continue learning in blended format. Future research is recommended to investigate lecturer support’s impact on student motivation, psychological challenges, and learning outcomes, using longitudinal or mixed methods approaches.
