Abstract

This study investigates the gap between students’ conceptual understanding of literary theory and their ability to apply theoretical frameworks in textual analysis in higher education. The research was conducted among students enrolled in a literary theory course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Gorontalo. It aims to reconceptualize literary theory pedagogy by integrating interpretative practice, collaborative learning, and digital mediation. This study employed a qualitative classroom-based research design through the implementation of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with an e-learning platform. Data were collected through classroom observations, student discussion records, reflective writings, and analysis of students’ interpretative assignments. The findings indicate that conventional lecture-centered approaches tend to present literary theory as abstract and declarative knowledge, which results in fragmented theoretical understanding and limited metatheoretical awareness among students. When learning activities were reorganized around interpretative problems derived from literary texts, students began to engage with theory as an analytical tool rather than as a static conceptual system. Collaborative discussions and peer feedback encouraged dialogic interpretation, while digital learning platforms extended reflective engagement beyond classroom time and enabled students to revise their analytical arguments. The study shows that integrating Problem-Based Learning with e-learning environments fosters a more reflective and contextual learning process, transforming literary theory into a practical framework for critical interpretation in higher education.

Abstract

The song is a sequence of beautiful words, often carrying meanings both connotative (figurative) and denotative (literal). This research aims to unveil the connotative and denotative meanings in the song “Berita Kepada Kawan” by Ebiet G. Ade. The theoretical framework employed in this study is hermeneutic research. It is a qualitative study where the data consists of sentences containing connotative and denotative meanings, and the source of the data is the lyrics of the song "Berita Kepada Kawan" by Ebiet G. Ade. Data were collected through free engagement observation. The researcher browsed the lyrics of the song “Berita Kepada Kawan” by Ebiet G. Ade, then listened attentively to each word, phrase, sentence, and stanza of the lyrics. Subsequently, the researcher noted every sentence containing connotative and denotative meanings. Following this, data analysis was conducted, involving validation and classification of each sentence based on its type. The researcher then interpreted the data within its contextual framework. The results of the study indicate two meanings embedded in the song “Berita Kepada Kawan”, denotative and connotative. The denotative meaning portrays struggle, sadness, both mental and physical, while the connotative meaning depicts a solitary journey, sorrow, adversity, and loss of life. Thus, this hermeneutic research provides a profound understanding of the complexity of meanings in the song “Berita Kepada Kawan,” summarizing it within the conceptual framework of hermeneutics that includes both connotative and denotative analyses.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has altered communication patterns, particularly on social media, where Instagram has become the main platform for disseminating information, opinions, and emotions related to this global crisis. This study aims to explore the types of illocutionary speech acts in the Instagram captions of the WHO account related to Covid-19. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. The data in this research consists of captions and sentences containing illocutionary speech acts, while the data source is the Instagram captions from the WHO's Instagram account about Covid-19 during the pandemic. The method used in this research is the non-participant observation method. The researcher observed the captions on WHO’s Instagram about Covid-19 during the pandemic by recording and noting them. Additionally, the researcher transcribed the caption data into written form. After collecting the data, the researcher performed reduction, classification, verification, and tabulation based on their types. Next, the researcher coded the data, interpreted it, and drew conclusions. The results of this study identify five types of illocutionary speech acts in WHO’s Instagram captions about Covid-19, namely representative, directive, expressive, commissive, declarative, declarative & directive, and directive, representative, & declarative. The findings from this research could significantly influence communication strategies and policies by offering a deeper understanding of how illocutionary speech acts are utilized in health-related messaging. By analyzing the WHO's Instagram captions about Covid-19, this study reveals how specific language choices can effectively convey critical information, persuade audiences, and encourage public compliance with health guidelines. These insights can be applied to refine future health communication campaigns, ensuring that messages are not only clear and informative but also strategically crafted to achieve desired behavioral outcomes on a global scale.

Abstract

This study investigates constellation terms in the oral tradition of the Gorontalo community and examines their socio-cultural functions through Dell Hymes’s ethnography of communication. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzed documented oral-tradition data consisting of a traditional star-calendar transcript and explanatory narratives related to constellation terminology. The analysis employed Hymes’s SPEAKING model to interpret the communicative context, symbolic meanings, and cultural functions of constellation discourse. The findings reveal that terms such as Ewela, Maluo, Otoluwa, Tadala, Pahi, and Totokia function not merely as names of star groupings, but also as ecological markers guiding agricultural activities, seasonal prediction, maritime practices, and other social actions. These constellation terms additionally operate as cultural symbols representing collective memory, ecological experience, caution, hope, and local environmental knowledge. The study further demonstrates that constellation discourse remains important in preserving indigenous ecological literacy and sustaining cultural identity within contemporary Gorontalo society amid modernization and generational change. The findings contribute to ethnolinguistics, cultural preservation, and indigenous ecological knowledge studies by showing that language in oral tradition functions not only to communicate information, but also to organize, interpret, and transmit local knowledge across generations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how language in the Dikili tradition, performed through Modikili practices, represents and preserves Gorontalo culture. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to obtain a deeper understanding of the ritual language found in the tradition. The study applied Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, focusing on textual, discursive, and social dimensions. Data were collected through participant observation, documentation of ritual utterances, and semi-structured interviews with cultural practitioners and community members. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning and cultural representation within the discourse. The findings show that the Dikili tradition contains religious metaphors, repetition, parallel structures, and poetic expressions that reflect spiritual values, social harmony, and collective identity. In addition, Modikili practices serve as a medium for preserving and passing down local wisdom across generations. In conclusion, the ritual language used in the Dikili tradition is not only a symbolic expression but also an important cultural practice that helps maintain Gorontalo cultural identity in modern society.
