Abstract

This current study investigates the languages used in the linguistic landscape of a heritage tourism place, Bandar Grissee, Gresik, Indonesia. A total of 125 signs were collected through observation and photograph methods. These signs were then analyzed with focusing on the language choices and the strategy of the languages and the information presented in the signages. The results show that the languages used in the linguistic landscape of Bandar Grissee, both in top-down and bottom-up signs, are presented in the same categories: monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual. However, the language choices vary significantly among the signs. The salience of Indonesian and languages related to the cultural and historical values, such as Javanese, Chinese, Arabic, and Dutch, clearly appears in top-down signs, while bottom-up signs predominantly feature English, which is appealing for commercial purposes. The strategy of the languages and information presented in each sign is also different. Top-down signs predominantly use monolingual languages, while bilingual and multilingual signs employ the overlapping and fragmentary strategies. Conversely, bottom-up signs predominantly use bilingual languages with the fragmentary strategy. These results conclude that signmakers have a significant impact on the languages used, both in the language choices and the strategy, in the linguistic landscape of Bandar Grissee to reach their own goals on making the signages. Thus, the linguistic landscape could be a potential tool for the establishment of sustainable tourism and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by preserving cultural heritage.

Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon and has become a challenge to world society. According to that, this study examines linguistics strategies used in the erasure of climate change discourse through ecolinguistics lenses. This study used a specialized corpus that was built through 224 articles from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) website, which was collected with the keywords perubahan iklim ‘climate change’, krisis iklim ‘climate crisis’, and ketahanan iklim ‘climate resilience’. The data was analyzed using Sketch Engine using keywords, concordance, and collocations features. Then, the analysis of data was conducted manually through semantic categorization. This paper used Stibbe’s the void and the mask framework for its analysis. The major themes found in this paper are the government and its activities as a part of international organizations. This paper also found that KLHK used several linguistics strategies to demonstrate climate change, including abstract terms and nominalization to obscure the social actors. Also, the theme of nature, such as non-human species are completely erased from the discourse. These results show that climate change discourse on KLHK’s website is contrary to the ecosophy of ecolinguistics that encourages highlighting the importance of non-human species in such discourse. It is clear that KLHK takes non-human species for granted in their climate change discourse compared to human activity in their discourse.

Abstract

Metaphor is a part of human cognition that plays an important role in human knowledge and experience. This study aims at examining novel metaphors based on the metaphorical language used by Indonesia’s state leader, President Joko Widodo, in his speeches on COVID-19 and their functions for pandemic handling and post-pandemic preparednessin Indonesia. Data were speeches produced during the first and second waves of the pandemic and taken from official website of Cabinet Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia. The metaphors identified in the speeches were analysed using Critical Metaphor Analysis proposed by Charteris-Black (2004, 2011, 2021). The identified novel metaphors were categorized under the following seven source domains: breakfast, computer, crater, test, teacher, momentum, wheel, and fire. The identified metaphors could be classified into three types of novel metaphor: linguistic structural metaphors, metaphors with new target domains, and new mapping metaphors. Results of analysis revealed that the metaphors of examination/test, teacher, and fire were high in frequency. As for the function, those novel metaphors could be interpreted as  Jokowi's way to reflect changing realities and motivate actions. Overall, the use of metaphors implied Jokowi's priority responses toward pandemic, i.e. to persuade the importance of solidarity and collectivity, strong sense of perseverance and resilience, as well as mutual cooperation. This study is expected to give insight that government leadersemploy metaphors as appropriate to situational context as the metaphors they can be effective in shaping public opinion and winning public support for health measures and policymaking in time of crises.

Abstract

Transboundary haze has gained critical attention from global scholars since its impacts on society, economics, and health are prevalent in the mass media. By applying a corpus-ecolinguistics framework, this study examines the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian news media, broadcast between 2015 and 2024. This study 1) analyses the themes of transboundary haze news in Indonesian and Malaysian media, and 2) interprets the themes represented in the discourse ecologically. Using corpus analytical tools provided by Sketch Engine, this study examined the corpus keywords, collocations, and concordances. The findings show that, despite some identical themes, Indonesian mass media foreground the fires location, mitigation action, and non-human species impacted by the haze. In contrast, Malaysian mass media focuses on the affected areas and health issues. Both media involved similar strategies to frame the government as the responsible agent for mitigating the fires and haze. Ecologically, the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian mass media is ambivalent. In Indonesian media, transboundary haze is regarded as a disaster rather than a conflict due to human activities related to land clearings, whereas Malaysian media captures transboundary haze as a health and pollution issue. The ambivalent discourse is proven by the lack of human activities that cause transboundary haze, even though the media advocates for environmental and health issues as prevalent themes in news broadcasts. Ecologically, this study recommends that mass media emphasize the anthropocentric causes of transboundary haze to raise public awareness about human activities and their environmental consequences.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as the country with the most living language assets in the world after Papua New Guinea. However, one-third of the 718 indigenous languages in Indonesia are vulnerable and even threatened with extinction. Most of these languages are spoken in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Regarding efforts to protect, preserve and develop these vulnerable languages, the team of Program Studi Magister Linguistik, FIB, UGM took the initiative to provide language documentation assistance to the researchers and people in the Language Office (KB) of Nusa Tenggara Timur and the Language Office (KB) of Sulawesi Tenggara. Such facilitating and mentoring methods that were conducted include: firstly, observing and mapping the language aspects from the existing languages in NTT and Sultra to be decisively documented, secondly, model of providing assistance for documentation efforts, and thirdly, the writing form of documentation. After completing the facilitating and mentoring processes, it was expected that the researchers and documentation increased their passions and motivation in documenting the language aspects, their theoretical and methodological capacity in language documenting activities, and the number of documented languages. Besides, there was an increase of cooperation between Kantor Bahasa NTT and Sultra with Program Studi Magister Linguistik UGM. The results of this community service at the Language Office in NTT and Sultra show some completed activities i.e., (1) the identification of the legal basis for documenting the languages and mapping the potential language in NTT and Sultra to be documented, (2) the decision to document the linguistic aspects of maritime terms of the Kaera language in NTT, and words of wisdom or traditional expressions in Wolio language in Sultra, (3) the increase in the capacity of mentoring functions such as facilitating, presenting, feedback responding, delegating, participating, and inferencing, and (4) in addition to improving the ethics of mentoring, the teams worked together in terms of equality, cooperation and working together, and sustainability. ==== Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara dengan aset kekayaan bahasa terbanyak di dunia setelah Papua Nugini. Namun demikian, sepertiga dari 718 bahasa daerah di Indonesia itu mengalami kerentanan bahkan ancaman kepunahan. Kebanyakan bahasa itu berada di wilayah Indonesia Tengah dan Timur. Sebagai upaya pelindungan, pelestarian, dan pengembangan bahasa yang rentan ini, Tim Pengabdian Prodi Magister Linguistik berinisiatif melakukan pendampingan pendokumentasian bahasa terhadap tim KB di Nusa Tenggara Timur dan KB Sulawesi Tenggara. Metode pendampingan yang dilakukan adalah, pertama, menyangkut penjajakan atau pemetaan aspek kebahasaan yang perlu didokumentasikan oleh tim KB NTT dan KB Sultra; kedua, model pendampingan terhadap upaya pendokumentasian; dan ketiga, wujud penulisan hasil pendokumentasian. Setelah mengikuti proses pendampingan, diharapkan muncul peningkatan gairah dan motivasi pendokumentasian bahasa bagi para peneliti di dua KB tersebut, di samping peningkatan pengetahuan teoretis dan metodologis di bidang linguistik, peningkatan jumlah aspek bahasa yang didokumentasi, serta peningkatan kerja sama antarlembaga bahasa tersebut bersama Program Studi Magister Linguistik UGM. Hasil dari pengabdian pada Kantor Bahasa di NTT dan Sultra ini menyangkut beberapa pokok kegiatan, yaitu teridentifikasinya landasan hukum dan potensi bahasa di NTT dan Sultra terkait dokumentasi bahasa, diputuskannya aspek kebahasaan yang didokumentasi adalah istilah maritim bahasa Kaera di NTT dan kata-kata bijak atau ungkapan bahasa Wolio di Sulawesi Tenggara, dan terjadinya peningkatan kapasitas fungsi pendampingan seperti pemfasilitasian (facilitating), pemaparan (presenting), pemberian umpan balik (feedback responding), pewakilan tim (delegating), pengerjasamaan (participating), dan pengambilan kesimpulan (inferencing), di samping peningkatan etika pendampingan, yaitu kesetaraan, kerja sama, dan sama-sama bekerja, serta keberlanjutan.

Abstract

The emergence of ecolinguistics in the early 1970s has expanded into various academic discussions, including Indonesia’s context. Many articles of ecolinguistics can be found massively online, yet only few of them are stored in an international database, such as Scopus and DOAJ. This article attempts at (re)defining ecolinguistic concept in Indonesia’s research by taking 19 sample articles indexed in doaj.org. To collect the data, the researches searched the keywords “ecolinguistics” and “Indonesia” and applied the systematic review method by comparing the definition of ecolinguistics, its methods, and findings of ecolinguistic research in Indonesia. There are found some definitions of ecolinguistics: the study of language diversity, local wisdoms, language endangerment, and ecological awareness. Based on those findings, this article tries to redefine the concept of ecolinguistics as an approach that does not only take data from ecological issues, but also use ecological approach to analyze texts. By doing so, it is expected to figure out critical studies that find out ecological effects from the linguistic strands from various sources to offer more ecological understandings.

Abstract

In the Japanese language, there were various forms of address. For example, the use of the second pronoun; anata (you), kimi (you), self-name; Nakamura, Yamaguchi, kinship names; okaasan (mother), otousan (father), name of the profession; and sensei (teacher/doctor). In addition to the various address types, the zero forms of address were also known, namely the implicit use of address words. For example, address words in the form of zero were address (aisatsu); ohayou gozaimasu (good morning), irasshaimase (welcome), and sumimasen (sorry). The form of address adopted in this study was the zero-address form. This study would find the various forms and variations of zero-address. In addition, it also examined the functions and factors that influenced the use of zero-address by the sociolinguistic and pragmatics approach. This study found that there are four variations of the zero-address form, namely (1) the form of greeting; (2) the form of an exclamation or interjection; (3) the form of an interrogative sentence; and (4) the form of declarative sentences. There are two kinds of greeting, namely formal and informal. The function of the zero-address is to show respect, closeness, attract attention, and notification/statement. Factors that influence the use of zero greetings are social status, social distance, situation, and identity of the speaking actor.
