Abstract

This study compares the morphological construction of verbs from adjectives in three typologically and genetically distinct languages: Bugis (Austronesian, spoken in South Sulawesi, Indonesia), Javanese (Austronesian, Central and East Java), and English. Using an interlingual and culturally informed approach, the study investigates 15 systematic adjective-verb pairings from different languages to find underlying derivational mechanisms, structural patterns, and the linguistic encoding of cultural values. The analysis shows unique morphological strategies: Bugis primarily uses verbalizing prefixes such as ma- and mam- often accompanied by phonological adjustments—demonstrating a tightly integrated system of affixation and reduplication; English relies heavily on zero derivation (conversion) and suffixation (e.g., -ize, -ify), reflecting its trend toward analyticity and syntactic flexibility; meanwhile, Javanese employs a complex system involving the prefix N- (with allomorphs like ng-, n-, m-) combined with the suf Crucially, the study shows that these morphological processes are not just grammatical, but also deeply embedded with cultural semantics—for example, the Bugis mappadeceng ("to act honestly") and Javanese ngresiki ("to cleanse inwardly") reflect ethical and communal values, implying that word formation serves as a linguistic vessel for cultural cognition. This study advances comparative linguistics by connecting Austronesian and Indo-European morphological typologies, enriches efforts in endangered language documentation (particularly for under-documented languages such as Bugis), and advances understanding of the language-culture interface in morphological derivation. The findings call for a more holistic approach to language research, in which structure and culture are studied together.

Abstract

Background. This paper aims to provide an overview of the key findings and implications of the research conducted. The present study examines the impact of communicative language teaching (CLT) as a disruptive innovation on the pedagogy of English language instruction. Purpose. This paper aims to provide an overview of the key findings and implications of the research conducted. The present study examines the impact of communicative language teaching (CLT) as a disruptive innovation on the pedagogy of English language instruction for the acquisition of knowledge in the fields of management and economics. Method. The implementation of the Critical Learning Theory (CLT) presents a novel pedagogical strategy that fosters the development of critical thinking abilities, enhances effective communication skills, and cultivates cultural competency. Results. This essay examines the fundamental principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and its integration into the domains of economics and management education. Additionally, it investigates the impact of CLT on both educators and learners. Conclusion. Based on the findings, the incorporation of CLT has the potential to enhance students' competence and engagement, thereby equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive in the competitive.
