Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the changes in the request strategies of Indonesians and Americans when they spoke English and Indonesian. In cross-cultural communication, several things needed to be considered to avoid misunderstanding, such as the addressee’s knowledge, experience, culture, and value. Different kinds of request strategies in intercultural communication between Indonesians and Americans could lead to misunderstanding. The research applied a qualitative research involving five Indonesian and American speakers who speak English and Indonesian fluently. The data were collected through multiple resources such as the Discourse Completion Test (DCT) with certain situations, which was distributed to the participants, and observation and interview during the meeting with the participants. The findings show that Indonesians tend to be more direct when they make requests in Indonesian, while they change into indirect request strategies when making requests in English, while American participants tend to be indirect when making requests in English even though some of them are direct and changing into direct strategies when making a request in Indonesian. It also reveals that Indonesians tend to be more direct than Americans when they use their native language. It contradicts other studies that say Indonesians tend to use indirect requests, which also influences Americans in how they make requests in Indonesia. Therefore, it is suggested that intercultural knowledge is important in language learning to avoid misunderstanding due to the differences in norms, values, and beliefs.

Apart from that, in the image mode, an actional narrative process is found. This is in line with the ideational meaning in the verbal mode, namely that this post describes a physical sport carried out in a group and coordinated. Ideologically, this game has the moral value of cooperation and team coordination. In the context of the spirit and moral values ​​of the G20, it needs to be adopted by the global community, especially the G20 countries, in facing the challenges after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study explores the ecological, spiritual, and agrarian values embedded in the rice mantras of the Makassar community through an ecosemiotic lens. Employing a qualitative approach, data were drawn from traditional lontarak texts, field observations, and interviews with local farmers and traditional leaders. Analysis utilized the three-dimensional ecolinguistic model by Bang and Døør, biological, sociological, and ideological, alongside Barthes' semiotic theory to interpret signs and meanings within the mantra texts. Findings reveal that these mantras are more than ritual expressions; they serve as oral educational texts that encode agrarian knowledge, cosmological beliefs, and environmental ethics. For instance, expressions like “I will use it for good and enjoyment” convey ecological intent and socio-spiritual gratitude. Meanwhile, metaphors such as “my fortune is like a mountain” construct symbols of abundance tied to divine blessing. Moreover, references to cardinal directions emphasize a cosmic understanding of agriculture as an integrated relationship among humans, nature, and the divine. Viewed through the lens of educational discourse analysis, these mantras represent indigenous eco-pedagogy transmitting values, practical wisdom, and cosmological awareness across generations. The study calls for renewed recognition of local linguistic heritage as cultural artifacts and as sources of environmental education. Future studies are encouraged to explore how agrarian discourses can be integrated into formal and non-formal education to promote ecological literacy and sustainability ethics in rural and urban contexts

Abstract

This study analyzes the polysemy phenomenon of the word "花 (Huā)" in Mandarin from a cognitive semantic perspective, as well as its translation strategies into Indonesian. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design. Data collection involved identifying and extracting all occurrences of “花” from the corpus. Analysis was guided by Rosch’s Prototype Theory (1978), Fillmore’s Frame Semantics (1982), and Lakoff & Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (1980). The research finds that the word "Huā" carries various meanings, ranging from its basic sense to metaphorical and metonymic interpretations, such as beauty, consumption, hypocrisy, and specific patterns. Cognitive semantics theory is employed to explain these meaning shifts through mechanisms of metaphor and metonymy. Furthermore, translation strategies are adapted to context, taking into account cultural differences between Mandarin and Indonesian. The findings offer insights into cross-cultural translation practices and deepen the understanding of word meaning evolution within a cognitive framework.

Abstract

Abstract Being able to speak a foreign language fluently is not enough in cross-cultural communication. In order to avoid miscommunication, the speaker needs to have the target language culture knowledge. Several utterances can be found rude by some cultures, while some culture might find it common. This could happen due to the differences of cultures and value. In small talk such as making a request, different culture has their own strategy, and some culture might find it rude when the speaker do not share the same the value and culture. This study aims to analyze American bilinguals in making a request in Indonesian and English. The data were collected based on DCT request scenarios and observation. There were five American participants who were involved in this study. The findings showed that American participants tended to be indirect when they made requests in English even though some of them were direct and they changed into direct strategies when they made a request in Indonesian. This study also reveals that in terms of making a request, Americans are more indirect when it comes to making a request. Therefore, it is suggested that having intercultural knowledge is important in learning a language in order to avoid misunderstanding.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the diction, language power, and ideology used by Kaesang Pangerep in his first political speech. The analysis was based on Fairclough's CDA theory (1989) and combined with Thomas N. Huckin's model. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, focusing on elaborating paragraphs, sentences, and words. The analysis began with an examination of the entire text, followed by a more detailed analysis of sentences and words. The text was analyzed to understand the contextual interpretation of the relationship between language power and ideology. Additionally, language relevance and style features were analyzed to understand Kaesang Pangarep's diction in his public speech. The results indicated that the connections between language power and ideology were broadly defined through CDA. The study revealed that although there were instances of irrelevant language use, Kaesang Pangarep's speech was directly aimed at the Millennial party. The linguistic ideology in his speech was observed to reflect a legacy role from current political issues, suggesting a shift in the language used to build the ideology, with specific aims and a legacy of current linguistic issues.
