Abstract

Indigenous medicinal plant knowledge constitutes a crucial component of ecolinguistic systems, as it is embedded in linguistic expressions that reflect ecological relationships, healing practices, and cultural values. However, this knowledge is increasingly threatened by language shift and insufficient documentation, particularly within low-resource indigenous communities. This study develops an AI-based ecolinguistic framework to systematically document and represent Nias ethnomedicinal knowledge by integrating ethnobotanical field data with culturally grounded artificial intelligence approaches. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with traditional Nias healers, resulting in the identification of fifteen commonly used medicinal plant species. To assess cultural salience and communal consensus, the study applied the Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) index. The quantitative findings reveal an uneven distribution of cultural prominence among the documented species. Notably, Gundre and Mbulu Nazalöu emerged as the most frequently cited plants (FC = 14; RFC = 0.93 each), indicating their central role within the Nias ethnomedical knowledge system. The documented knowledge was subsequently structured using a Knowledge Graph model and enhanced through a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to enable contextualized, culturally sensitive knowledge representation. The proposed framework demonstrates how artificial intelligence can support the preservation, organization, and revitalization of endangered indigenous medicinal knowledge while maintaining its ecolinguistic integrity.

Abstract

Increasing competition among national-plus schools has encouraged educational institutions to utilize digital promotional media to communicate their values, learning environments, and institutional identities more effectively. This study aimed to identify the semiotic modes used in the digital promotional media of Veritas Intercultural School (VIS) and Beverly School Indonesia in Badung Regency and to examine how these modes constructed institutional identity. A qualitative descriptive design was employed using Multimodal Discourse Analysis, supported by Visual Grammar and Praat-based acoustic analysis. Data were obtained from the schools’ official Instagram accounts and websites, including posts, website pages, promotional photographs, and videos, and were collected through documentation and non-participant observation. The findings showed that Instagram content from both schools integrated five semiotic modes: linguistic, visual, spatial, gestural, and aural. Website content demonstrated different combinations of modes, with VIS emphasizing visual, spatial, and gestural modes, while Beverly School Indonesia emphasized linguistic, visual, and spatial modes. These multimodal strategies reflected distinct institutional identities: VIS foregrounded intercultural, inquiry-based, and student-centered learning, whereas Beverly School Indonesia highlighted academic excellence, character development, creativity, and global readiness. The study concluded that coordinated multimodal resources strengthened educational promotional messages and helped schools communicate distinctive institutional identities to prospective parents and broader audiences within competitive educational markets.
