Abstract

Novels are fictional stories that are created by human reflection on the environment and experiences. Within a novel, the author uses their aesthetic experience and creativity to arrange storylines and characters. Examining the characters within a contemporary novel can be intriguing as the main character may reflect the author's idealism and response to their own life. With this in mind, the researcher analyzes the novel "Dilan dia adalah Dilanku 1991" by Pidi Baiq, which has gained popularity among millennial youth.

The researcher focuses on the main characters, Dilan and Milea, and uses a descriptive qualitative method and content analysis to identify certain characteristics related to their characterizations. The study found that Dilan was a romantic, brave, stubborn yet intelligent male figure, while Milea was a loyal, loving, and firm woman.

The development of digitalization has contributed to the emergence of new languages. Cultural and regional backgrounds are also influential factors that cause the shift towards using Bahasa Indonesia. This qualitative research provides insights into how the use of slang in social media affects language use among teenagers in Palu.

The research findings highlight that the 16 tools used in nokeso carry distinct meanings, symbolizing positive outcomes and the well-being of toniasa (daughters) in the collective consciousness of the Salena people.

Abstract

This study examines errors in Indonesian usage in public spaces in Palu City, focusing on non-standard language, grammatical inaccuracies, spelling, and punctuation. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation and documentation, analyzed with Krippendorf's content analysis model. The findings reveal 69 errors, including 40 prefix, 15 suffix, 10 preposition, 3 title, and 1 word usage errors. The most frequent issue was incorrect "di" prefix usage. Errors stem from two main factors: lack of awareness of language rules and low linguistic knowledge in the community. These mistakes risk negatively influencing the younger generation by normalizing incorrect usage. The study emphasizes the need for increased education and socialization to promote proper Indonesian language use, fostering greater awareness and adherence to linguistic standards.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of directive speech acts in the film Uang Panai and their relevance to the communicative context between characters. A descriptive qualitative method was employed in this research. The data, consisting of utterances, were collected through observation and note-taking techniques and analyzed using the theoretical framework of directive speech acts. The results reveal six categories of directive speech acts: (1) requests (14 data); (2) advice (10 data); (3) commands (9 data); (4) invitations (6 data); (5) prohibitions (4 data); and (6) criticisms (2 data). The dominance of request speech acts reflects a preference for persuasive and non-coercive communication strategies within the characters' interactions. These findings demonstrate that directive speech acts serve not only as a narrative driver for the plot but also as a representation of the cultural communication of the Bugis-Makassar community, which are deeply rooted in social values and politeness.
