Abstract

Integral Human Development cannot be separated from the lives of people as every human being is dynamic and is always developing both internally and externally. The study of integral development makes a major contribution to improving the quality of life for individuals and groups so that everyone can anticipate what needs to be done. The entire research is conducted using a qualitative descriptive research method with a discourse analysis approach and supported by Integral Human Development theories tied to psychology of literature with a thought that personality development is related to the existences of the characters in the novel and is a discussion point in psychology of literature. Integral Human Development (IHD) or Whole Human Development is a concept that emphasizes the development of humans as a whole covering physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects so that humans can achieve a balance between personal growth and social contribution. The novel is chosen as the research object as the novel highlights talks much of the personality progress of the characters in fighting for their rights. Within the internal human development conceptual framework supported by the theory of psychology of literature, there are four steps to improve the quality of life, which become the subject of the research. The results of the analysis show that the novel provides an important lesson that success can be obtained through the implementation of Integral Human Development which in the novel is manifested in the forms of social awareness, hard work, tolerance, and discipline.

Abstract

Politeness is not merely a pragmatic strategy in interpersonal communication but also a discursive practice shaped by power relations, ideology, and social context. This study examines politeness as a discursive practice in the film “Dear John” (2010) using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The goal of the study is to reveal how politeness strategies are constructed, negotiated, and contested through language in intimate relationships portrayed in the film. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the data consist of selected dialogues between the main characters, John and Savannah, which contain politeness-related expressions. The analysis integrates Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory with Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of CDA: textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. The findings show that politeness strategies in “Dear John” function not only to maintain interpersonal harmony but also to reflect unequal emotional power, moral positioning, and ideological assumptions about love, sacrifice, and gender roles. Positive politeness dominates the interactions, while negative politeness and off-record strategies emerge in moments of conflict and emotional distance. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of politeness theory and CDA to demonstrate how politeness operates as an ideological and discursive resource within romantic narratives. This study contributes to discourse studies, pragmatics, and literary discourse analysis.

Abstract

Abstract. Gender issues have remained a hot issue owing to various influencing factors, including gender overlap and social inequality. Gender is a social sex reconstructed by society for both men and women. The gender difference stereotypes have given rise to gender injustice detrimental to women. The presence of the concept of existential feminism initiated by Simone De Beauvoir is a bright spot and hope for all women, especially those in patriarchal system communities. The purpose of this research is to uncover the traditional paradigm that women are cultural products and their independence is delimited. This is not in accordance with the concept of human rights which basically states that every human being has the same rights in carrying out life. So it is hoped that this paper can be used as a reference to eliminate the marginalization of women. The research is carried out using a qualitative descriptive design with phenomenological method to explore or photograph social situations thoroughly, broadly and deeply and also supported by the theory of sociology of literature, the description of social reality in literary works. The data collection procedures and the data analysis are done systematically based on the existing theories of qualitative research method. The results of the research show that the protagonist implements the existential feminist concept through the ability to work, being intellectual and responsible.  Throughout the research it is proved that existential feminism still exists to explore the marginalization of woman, summed up with a text that women are independent beings. Keywords: Existential Feminism, Intellect, Profession, Responsibility

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to reveal cultural keywords from a particular cultural tradition, sambatan held by the Javanese-speaking community in Tanjung Harapan Village, Air Putih District.  Historically, the Javanese-speaking community in the area were migrants from their ancestral lands on the island of Java.  This traditional activity refers to the communal activity of preparing and building houses, between the owner and the local community. Investigation of the cultural norms can be seen from the use of grammar aspect, lexicon, and linguistic routines of a language. Those were directly related to the context of the situation (context-bound), which determined the way society speaks. The objective of this research is to explore the cultural key word entities in the discourse. Following the ethno-pragmatic perspective, the parameter of cultural discourse is the core meaning of the language used. It gives rise to variations in speech forms as the embodiment of the cultural values of each ethnic group, which in turn creates different configurations for language used. This study was designed using a synchronic-ethnographic field study. In conducting the research, the phenomenological approach was adopted. Data were obtained by following the participating observation method and in-depth interviews. The data analysis followed the ethno-pragmatic methodological tools; semantic explication for lexical semantic analysis, and cultural script for capturing the cultural norms. The results show that the three core cultural keywords; mugi-mugi, ngasih hormat and adem ayem tentrem provide the cultural norms which express hope or prayer, respect for other entities, and harmony-not contradicting others.Keywords: Ethno-pragmatics, Cultural Keywords, Cultural Discourse

Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesia’s Independence Day slogans from 2015 to 2025 through Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, focusing on Interpersonal Metafunction. As annual commemorative texts, these slogans function not only as symbolic expressions of independence but also as strategic discourses that negotiate power, construct solidarity, and reinforce national identity. Employing qualitative discourse analysis, the research investigates mood, modality, pronoun usage, evaluative lexis, and the interplay of explicit and implicit meanings. The findings indicate that declarative and imperative moods position citizens within relationships of inclusivity and responsibility, while modality expresses urgency and commitment. Evaluative vocabulary conveys optimism and resilience, with explicit meanings emphasizing productivity, recovery, and progress, and implicit meanings connecting contemporary challenges to historical struggles and the long-term vision of Indonesia Emas 2045. Overall, Independence Day slogans function as condensed ideological texts that bridge past sacrifices with future aspirations, illustrating the discursive power of language in shaping nationalism and providing practical insights for developing effective national slogans.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how youth identities are represented within social media discourse, particularly on the Instagram platform. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Norman Fairclough’s framework, this research explores the relationship between language, power, and ideology in the production and consumption of digital content. The data were collected from Instagram posts and captions that depict Indonesian youths’ lifestyle, self-expression, and social image. The findings reveal that youth identity representations on Instagram are often constructed through consumptive symbols, visual aesthetics, and narratives of freedom and authenticity. However, beneath these narratives lie the hegemonic influence of popular culture and social pressure to perform an idealized self-image. The study concludes that social media functions not merely as a space for self-expression but as an arena of discursive struggle where meanings and power relations shape youth identities. This research contributes to critical discussions on how digital media mediates the construction of identity in contemporary society.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate a character-based English language instructional design that integrates the local cultural values of North Sumatra to improve students’ English proficiency and multicultural character. The approach incorporates the traditions and local wisdom of ethnic groups, including the Batak, Malay, Nias, and Karo, to strengthen linguistic competence while fostering cultural awareness and identity. It also seeks to prepare graduates who are globally competitive and remain rooted in their local cultural heritage. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest design. It was conducted during the fifth semester of the 2026/2027 academic year in the English Literature Study Program, Faculty of Literature, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU). The sample consisted of 72 undergraduate students, with 36 assigned to the experimental group and 36 to the control group. The experimental group received local culture-based instruction, whereas the control group received conventional instruction. The instruments measured English proficiency through locally relevant cultural content and multicultural character across four dimensions: cultural awareness, appreciation of diversity, cross-cultural empathy, and cultural identity. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and normalized gain (N-gain). The results indicated significant improvements in English proficiency (F = 29.47, p < .001, d = 0.94) and multicultural character (F = 34.82, p < .001, d = 1.07). The N-gain scores were 0.68 for English proficiency and 0.71 for multicultural character. These findings support integrating North Sumatra’s local cultural values into character-based English language instruction.

Abstract

This study examines sarcasm in Putu Wijaya's short story Guru through a sociological reading, focusing on its causes and purposes as a literary device for social critique. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in the sociology of literature and pragmatic theories of sarcasm, the research treats the short story as primary data. The analysis identifies three causes of sarcasm: psychological triggers rooted in fear and pride, emotional responses such as disappointment and anger, and contextual irony that reveals the gap between public praise for teachers and their actual social and economic position. The findings show that sarcasm serves three functions: social critique that exposes materialism and institutional hypocrisy, a rhetorical strategy to shame or persuade characters into conformity, and character revelation that highlights generational conflict and moral tension. The study concludes that Putu Wijaya uses sarcasm not merely to amuse but to provoke reflection about the value of education and the treatment of teachers in Indonesian society.
