Abstract

This research contributes to investigate a cultural continuity, particularly naming practice, in a homogenous Javanese community installing Petangan Jawa (Javanese Calculations). However, common Javanese slowly ignore it. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with fieldwork to investigate the intention behind the name. Therefore, two varieties of Petangan Jawa, namely, a calculation based on calendar properties and a calculation based on Javanese script values, are still consistently used. In addition, this study paves the way for future research on the causes of the gradual abandonment of Petangan Jawa among common Javanese and how the perspective of religious beliefs about Petangan Jawa is used to predict the future.

Abstract

The article examined the quality of the translation of the hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer” (1845) into the Indonesian lyric “Inilah Jam Ku Berdoa”. The study used a qualitative method with an inductive orientation. The primary data were collected from the American Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985) and the Indonesian hymnal Lagu Sion (2013). The secondary data were obtained from books and articles about Translation Quality Assessment (TQA), systemic functional linguistics, and SDA hymnody. House’s TQA model was implemented by assessing overt and covert translation errors and by analyzing the profiles of the source and target texts. It was found that the textual profile and function of the target text (TT) do not match those of the source text (ST). Furthermore, it was discovered that the translation of “Sweet Hour of Prayer” from English to Indonesian was not adequate in quality due to manipulations that reduced the lyric to a covert version.

Abstract

Directive speech acts are commonly used to influence behavior, but they are not always expressed through direct commands. In many contexts, directive meanings are conveyed indirectly through declarative or interrogative structures, requiring interpretation based on context. This indirectness is particularly characteristic of motivational discourse, where authors seek to encourage behavioral change while maintaining a persuasive and non-authoritative tone. Rather than issuing explicit instructions, motivational texts often guide readers through explanations, evaluative statements, and reflective questions. This study investigates the realization of directive speech acts in Atomic Habits by James Clear. Drawing on John Searle’s speech act theory, the analysis focuses on sentence types, modes of realization (explicit and implicit), and pragmatic functions. The data consist of 525 sentences or clauses identified as conveying directive meaning, analyzed using qualitative pragmatic interpretation and descriptive quantitative methods. The findings show that directive speech acts are predominantly realized through declarative forms, followed by imperative and interrogative structures. Indirect (implicit) directives occur more frequently than direct (explicit) ones, indicating the importance of subtle persuasive strategies in motivational writing. Pragmatically, these directives mainly function to advise, instruct, and invite reader reflection. This study contributes to pragmatic and discourse studies by demonstrating how motivational texts systematically employ indirect directive strategies to promote voluntary behavioral change. It also provides a more nuanced understanding of how directive force operates beyond imperative forms, particularly in persuasive self-improvement discourse.

Abstract

The expanding use of the word halal in Indonesian has become a prominent phenomenon. Despite this development, empirical diachronic studies that systematically examine the evolution of the word halal in Indonesian public discourse remain limited. This study addresses two research questions: (1) How has the use of the word halal evolved in Republika.co.id from 2010 to 2022? Moreover, (2) What topics were discussed in relation to the use of the word halal during this period? Adopting a corpus-based approach, this study utilises the corpus analysis tool Sketch Engine to examine a corpus of 1,132 news articles on halal published by Republika.co.id between 2010 and 2022. The findings indicate that the use of the word halal increased markedly, particularly during the final four years (2019–2022). This surge coincided with several key policy initiatives introduced by the Indonesian government, including the implementation of mandatory halal certification, the establishment of halal industrial zones, and the promotion of a broader halal ecosystem. Collocation analysis further reveals a notable expansion in the discourse’s thematic scope. While early coverage primarily focused on halal products, discussions gradually shifted toward broader themes related to the halal industry and halal economy. Overall, this study provides an empirical account of the diachronic transformation in the use of the word halal in mass media and demonstrates a correlation between government policy agendas and the dynamics of public discourse.

Abstract

Singlish, formally recognised as Singaporean Colloquial English (SCE), represents a distinct variety within the global landscape of World Englishes. This study investigates the segmental and suprasegmental features of Singlish through an Optimality-Theoretic framework (OT), utilising a proposed constraint hierarchy. Data comprising 600 phrases from four (4) high-frequency scenes were extracted from the film Crazy Rich Asians and processed via the corpus software AntConc. The OT analysis focuses on specific constraint rankings—including STRESS-INITIAL, FT-BIN, IDENT-STRESS, and NO-CODA—which are subsequently validated through acoustic analysis using Praat to determine if cinematic representations align with authentic phonological patterns. Beyond modelling, this research situates these linguistic systems within a broader framework, linking local patterns to postcolonial identity formation. The findings suggest that these features emerge from the interaction between local identities and global media, advancing the hypothesis that the film reflects a shift from Bhabha's mimicry toward During's perspective on cultural mediation.

Abstract

Advertisements sell fantasy rather than just products, with their slogans creating lasting impressions of fantasy in the minds of target consumers. This research aims to explore how English slogans in Indonesian car advertisements provoke hedonism through specific syntactic forms and illocutionary forces. Through a qualitative analysis of syntactic and pragmatic aspects, the proportion of syntactic forms, illocutionary forces, and contextual ideas in 87 slogans from nine automotive brands sold in Indonesia: Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Honda, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Hyundai, and KIA were analyzed. It was discovered that low-priced car slogans are shorter, typically in phrase form, while expensive car slogans are longer and often in clause form. Despite the syntactic differences, both categories share similar illocutionary acts, predominantly representative acts aimed at informing consumers, building rapport, and enhancing the brands reputation. While directive acts are more persuasive, they can also be perceived as forceful, potentially creating a negative impression. The study highlights the importance of examining car slogans from a syntactic perspective, in addition to sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic angles. Additionally, the study explored how fantasy and hedonism are conveyed in slogans. Low-priced car slogans evoke close-to-reality fantasies with minimal use of adjective phrases and a weaker provocation of hedonism, whereas expensive car slogans offer symbolic fantasies, strongly provoking hedonism and encouraging indulgence in luxury, comfort, and independence, using both phrases and clauses with representative and directive acts. These findings suggest that car slogans make use of linguistic strategies that are conformed to fit the target market of a car.

Abstract

The economic benefits of English proficiency and the pervasive use of English in business communications have increased the demand to translate business texts. As a part of the business text genre, an annual report is translated into English as a form of information disclosure for foreign investors of a public company in Indonesia. This study aims to explore translation patterns in annual reports from Indonesian to English using Catfords classification of translation shifts and Bechers classification of explicitations and implicitations. This research employed a mixed-method approach with both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The data sources were six annual reports of Indonesian public companies in three sectors (financial, non-cyclical consumer, and energy) obtained from each companys official website. By applying qualitative and quantitative approaches, the analyses reveal patterns of annual report translation. The findings of this study indicate that there were significant differences between annual reports in various sectors, as evidenced by the chi-square test result (X2(4, N = 138) = 20.21, p .001) and by variations in how translation shifts are used. Patterns in translating annual reports from Indonesian to English were identified, namely the use of explicitations and implicitations in interactional, cohesive, and denotational manners through translation shifts. The results of this study suggest that annual report translation was made possible through shifts involving changes in syntactic structure and the choice of information to be added, omitted, or substituted.

Abstract

This study examines how four-word lexical bundles function as indicators of rhetorical moves in research article abstracts from two applied linguistics journals representing different academic traditions: the Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) and Applied Linguistics (AL) by Oxford University Press. While previous studies have categorized bundles structurally and functionally, fewer have explored how they align with rhetorical moves across journal communities. Using a bundle-driven approach, with a specialized corpus, the Journal Abstracts of Applied Linguistics (JAAL) was compiled, comprising over 100,000 words from abstracts published between 2019 and 2025. Four-word sentence-initial bundles were extracted using AntConc 4.3.1 and analyzed with Hyland’s five-move abstract model. Findings show that clause-based bundles dominate in both IJAL (59%) and AL (80%), while PP-based bundles are least frequent in IJAL (7%), challenging earlier claims. Product bundles occur most often in IJAL (49%), whereas AL abstracts prioritize purpose bundles (46%) and use more flexible patterns, including self-mentions that perform multiple rhetorical roles. These differences reflect broader cultural and linguistic conventions in academic voice. The study demonstrates the link between lexical bundles and rhetorical moves and underscores implications for EFL instruction and genre-based writing pedagogy.

Abstract

The current article discusses a linguistic phenomenon, particularly, the use of bikago beautified style, which has been classified as being separate from teineigo since 2007. The discussion covers the forms of this particular linguistic style and the background of its emergence. This research was conducted because, to date, Japanese language studies pertaining to this specific style mostly consisted of researches that are based on spoken data analysis. This is a descriptive-qualitative study. Data were collected from instruction labels of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products in Japanese provided on the packages of relevant products. Data were gathered based on the content of bikago style element found within a speech. Speeches that do not contain any bikago style element were not included as research data. Research results shows that the number of bikago terms being used on relevant products is very scarce, only consisting of a few words, yet they are distributed in various elements of usage instruction discourse. <a href="https://gb777info.com">gb777</a><a href="https://pajak.blitarkota.go.id/uploads/profile/">gb777</a><a href="https://baak.uika-bogor.ac.id/uploads/">slot gacor</a><a href="https://siadmin.baak.uika-bogor.ac.id/files/images/">gb777</a><a href="https://jdih.dprd-pemalangkab.go.id/">gb777</a><a href="https://disnakertrans.bungokab.go.id/">GB777</a><a href="https://jdih.bungokab.go.id/">GB777</a>slot gacorslot gacor
