Abstract

This study aims to examine patterns of personal experience representation in undergraduate students’ narrative writing, focusing on (1) language choice, including diction, register, and personalization, and (2) story plot structure, encompassing chronological plots, flashbacks, and narrative turning points. The study employs a descriptive quantitative design using quantitative content analysis of students’ narrative texts. Each text was analyzed using a structured coding scheme that classified linguistic features. The study has several limitations, including a relatively small sample size and a context limited to a single institution. The sample consisted of 30 undergraduate students from the English Language Education program at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar (N = 30). Data were drawn from one study program and one institution only, and the analysis focused on narrative text products without in-depth exploration of students’ cognitive writing processes, which limits the generalizability of the findings. Data were collected through quantitative content analysis of 30 narrative writing tasks, supplemented by a short reflective questionnaire. The results reveal two dominant patterns. First, the use of highly interpersonal language, characterized by frequent first-person pronouns and emotional expressions, is positively correlated with retrospective plots or flashbacks. Second, the use of formal–descriptive language tends to be associated with linear chronological plots. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic and measurable identification of the relationship between language choice and plot structure as patterns of students’ personal experience representation, rather than treating linguistic features or narrative structures as isolated characteristics, as commonly found in previous studies. Practically, these findings imply the need for narrative writing instruction in higher education that explicitly links language choice with plot development through reflective writing tasks, practice with varied narrative structures, and rubric-based feedback to enhance the quality, coherence, and depth of students’ narratives.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the semantic functions of the regional particles mi, ji, and pi in social media communication within South Sulawesi. These particles frequently appear in posts, comments, and informal conversations across digital platforms such as Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok. The research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through documentation techniques by compiling user posts and comments that actively utilized these particles. The analysis was conducted interpretively to identify the meanings, semantic roles, and pragmatic aspects associated with the usage of each particle. The findings reveal that mi, ji, and pi serve various semantic functions, including assertion, emotional marking, and meaning reinforcement. These particles do not merely function grammatically; they also carry social and cultural significance, reflecting the speaker’s identity, particularly among communities in South Sulawesi. The use of these particles is strongly influenced by the user’s social context, interpersonal relationships, and the informal, community-based nature of digital communication. In the realm of social media, these elements enhance personal expression and foster a sense of belonging among users who share similar cultural backgrounds. This study highlights the importance of understanding regional language dynamics within the context of modern digital communication. Therefore, further research is recommended, particularly in the areas of pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and cross-platform language use, to deepen insights into how local languages adapt to and function in contemporary discourse. Moreover, integrating knowledge about these particles into language education and the development of digital learning materials is encouraged. Such efforts could contribute to preserving local languages while simultaneously improving linguistic literacy among the public—especially the younger generation—in today’s digital era. This not only promotes cultural recognition but also reinforces the value of indigenous linguistic identity in the evolving landscape of online communication.
