Abstract

This study aims to represent female characters in the short story anthology "Kitab Kawin" by Laksmi Pamuntjak. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a Roland Barthes semiotic approach. The research data consists of quotations containing representations of injustice towards female characters. Data collection was carried out through reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was carried out by identifying signifiers, signifieds, denotations, connotations, and myths. The results of the study indicate that there are five forms of injustice towards female characters: marginalization, subordination, stereotypes, double workload, and violence. Marginalization is seen through restrictions on access to education and opportunities for self-development. Subordination is shown through women's limitations in making life choices. Stereotypes are evident in labeling women as weak, emotional, and bound by certain beauty standards. The double workload is seen when women must simultaneously carry out domestic and public roles. Meanwhile, violence is represented through physical and psychological actions experienced by female characters. The research findings indicate that patriarchal culture remains a major factor in injustice towards women in social and family life.

Abstract

This study investigates how linguistic anchorage constructs post-feminist identities in cosmetic advertising by examining advertisements from three prominent cosmetic brands selected for their extensive market influence, strong digital visibility, and consistent representation of contemporary feminine ideals. Employing a qualitative semiotic approach grounded in Barthes’ theory of anchorage and post-feminist perspectives, the study analyzes verbal and visual elements embedded in selected advertisements from these brands. Data were collected through documentation techniques and examined using descriptive-interpretative analysis to identify the interaction between linguistic messages and visual signs in shaping meanings of femininity, empowerment, and self-representation. The findings reveal that linguistic anchorage strategically directs audience interpretation toward particular post-feminist discourses that emphasize individual agency, self-confidence, autonomy, and beauty as forms of empowerment while simultaneously reinforcing consumerist ideals. The study further demonstrates that advertising narratives negotiate traditional and contemporary gender expectations through carefully constructed verbal cues. These findings contribute to semiotic and post-feminist advertising scholarship by extending the application of linguistic anchorage to the analysis of contemporary beauty advertisements and by providing a deeper understanding of how commercial discourses participate in the construction of post-feminist subjectivities.

Abstract

This study examines the forms and functions of idiolect on the Instagram account @adindafala from a sociolinguistic perspective. The focus of the study is directed toward the use of distinctive language that reflects the speaker’s identity in digital communication. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data sources consisting of captions and stories posted on the Instagram account @adindafala. The data were collected through observation and documentation techniques, then analysed by identifying the forms of idiolect and the language functions used by the speaker. The results of the study indicate that the idiolect found on the Instagram account @adindafala is manifested through the use of code-mixing, phonological changes, regional language interference, slang, abbreviations, language play, and graphological variations. These forms demonstrate a tendency toward the use of creative and communicative nonstandard language in social media. In addition, personal and representational functions were identified in the speaker’s language use. The personal function is reflected through the use of humorous, expressive, casual, and nonstandard language to describe the speaker’s daily experiences, while the representational function is used to convey information related to the speaker’s activities and situations. The findings of this study show that idiolect on social media serves as a form of linguistic expression influenced by digital communication culture and interlanguage interaction.

Abstract

Penguasaan kalimat aktif verbatif merupakan fondasi krusial bagi penutur asli bahasa Indonesia dalam mencapai kemahiran berkomunikasi di kancah global. Namun, perbedaan tipologis antarbahasa sering kali memicu hambatan akuisisi akibat interferensi struktur bahasa ibu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi persamaan dan perbedaan fungsional serta struktural pada konstruksi kalimat aktif verbatif dalam bahasa Indonesia, Inggris, Arab, dan Korea melalui kerangka Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-komparatif, data penelitian berupa constructed parallel data yang dianalisis menggunakan metode padan translasional dan metode distribusional untuk membedah sistem transitivitas (process, participant, circumstance). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya kesamaan fungsi semantis yang universal pada pola actor–process: material–goal pada keempat bahasa. Perbedaan signifikan ditemukan pada tingkat realisasi gramatikal: bahasa Indonesia dan Inggris cenderung mengandalkan strategi linear (SVO), sedangkan bahasa Arab dan Korea bergantung pada strategi morfologis melalui infleksi (VSO/SVO) dan partikel kasus (SOV). Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa fleksibilitas distribusi unsur kalimat sangat dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan penandaan morfologis masing-masing bahasa. Secara praktis, penelitian ini memberikan landasan bagi pendidik bahasa untuk mengembangkan strategi pembelajaran berbasis kesadaran kontrastif guna memitigasi kesalahan struktur pada pembelajar bahasa asing.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to describe how active and passive sentence constructions are built in the Karo language, with a focus on syntactic construction patterns. This research is important because the morphological and syntactic systems of the Karo language differ from other regional languages in Indonesia, requiring in-depth research to add new data to regional language linguistic research and regional language preservation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected from three native speakers of Karo aged between 20 and 50 years old who live in Berastagi subdistrict, North Sumatra, to provide research data in the form of active Karo sentences and passive Karo sentences. The data collection techniques used in this study were interviews, recordings, and transcriptions using the ELAN application. The research analysis model used was the Miles & Huberman (1984) model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion formulation. Source triangulation was used for data validity. The findings of the analysis on the construction of active sentences in the Karo language show that the agent is the subject, the verb is the predicate, and the patient is the object. Active sentences have verbs with the prefixes n- and m-. There are syntactic patterns such as SVO (Subject-Verb-Object), VSO (Verb-Subject-Object), and VOS (Verb-Object-Subject) in the formation of active sentences in the Karo language. Then, passive sentence constructions have the patient as the subject, the verb as the predicate, and the prepositional phrase as an optional object. In passive sentences in the Karo language, there are SVPP (Subject-Verb-Prepositional Phrase) and VPPS (Verb-Prepositional Phrase-Subject) patterns. Passive sentences are distinguished by the prefix i- and the infix i-...-i. The results of this study will contribute to the preservation of the Karo language as part of Indonesia's linguistic and cultural diversity and enhance research on regional linguistics.

Abstract

This study analyzes the lexical similarity of ten regional languages in Indonesia, namely Jambi Malay (jax), Kerinci (kvr), Minangkabau (min), Banjar (bjn), Mentawai (mwv), Sasak (sas), Javanese (jav), Toba (tob), Angkola (akb), and Mandailing (btm), along with Indonesian (ind) as a lingua franca; the genetic status of the regional languages; and the separation times among the regional languages. Data were collected through field observations at ten locations, with three informants per language, gathering 257 glosses from core (L1), nature (L2), general (L3), and cultural (L4) vocabulary. The analysis was conducted in three stages: first, synchronic lexical similarity was calculated using the Jaccard method; second, genetic relationships were analyzed through lexicostatistics based on L1 and L2; third, glottochronology was used to estimate language separation times among the regional languages. The results indicate that no language pairs share high similarity; most fall into the low-to-moderate similarity category. Lexicostatistical analysis reveals that core languages (jax, kvr, min, and bjn) and peripheral languages (tob, akb, and btm) form distinct genetic families, while mwv is the most lexically isolated language. Estimates of separation times indicate that core languages have a more recent lineage, while other languages such as mwv, jav, and tob show earlier divergence periods. These findings confirm that geographic proximity does not always correlate with linguistic relationships and suggest the need to revise the classification of Indonesian languages available in online databases, particularly the position of mwv, which should be reclassified as part of the Barrier Island language group rather than part of the Sumatran group. This study also highlights the importance of using primary data in language documentation to provide a more accurate map of linguistic evolution for regional languages in the archipelago.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structure of positive discourse in the speech delivered by Joko Widodo at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. This research employs a qualitative approach using the discourse analysis framework of Teun A. van Dijk, which includes macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure, combined with the Positive Discourse Analysis approach. The findings reveal that the structure of positive discourse can be identified through macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. At the macrostructure level, the speech presents a main theme of Indonesia’s economic transformation toward a data- and technology-based intelligence economy. At the superstructure level, the speech is systematically organized into three main parts—introduction, body, and conclusion—forming a logical and persuasive flow. Meanwhile, at the microstructure level, the analysis covers semantic, syntactic, stylistic, and rhetorical aspects that function to reinforce positive messages such as optimism, progress, and readiness for the future. Therefore, the speech is not only informative but also persuasive and inspirational in constructing a positive image of Indonesia on the global stage.

Abstract

This study explores the construction of meaning through verbal and non-verbal signs in the Dior Sauvage advertisement featuring Johnny Depp. The research is grounded in Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, which examines meaning at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. The study addresses how linguistic and visual elements within the advertisement construct and reinforce representations of masculinity. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected from selected scenes focusing on verbal signs, such as brand naming and lexical choices, as well as non-verbal signs, including color, setting, costume, and body language. The findings reveal that the advertisement constructs masculinity through signs associated with strength, mystery, freedom, and independence. At the mythological level, the advertisement reinforces an ideological representation of ideal masculinity as dominant, emotionally restrained, and deeply connected to nature. The study concludes that meaning in advertising is not naturally inherent but socially and culturally produced through interconnected systems of signs that shape audience perceptions and ideological understanding.

Abstract

: This research is driven by the low poetry writing skills among students at SMP N 17 Tanjung Jabung Timur. The primary challenges identified include difficulties in generating ideas and utilizing meaningful diction. The objective of this study is to describe the improvement in students' poetry writing abilities through the application of a semiotic approach based on local wisdom. The implementation methods consisted of preparation, training, content production practice, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The research subjects involved 7th and 8th-grade students of SMP N 17 Tanjung Jabung Timur. Data collection techniques included poetry writing tests, classroom activity observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The results indicate a significant increase in the average scores of students' poetry writing abilities. Qualitatively, students were able to transform local cultural signs—such as coastal community traditions and the mangrove ecosystem—into profound poetic metaphors through the analysis of icons, indices, and symbols. The study concludes that a semiotic approach based on local wisdom is effective in improving the quality of students' poetry while simultaneously strengthening local cultural literacy.

Abstract

Understanding scientific articles is a fundamental competency that students must master from the beginning of their studies, but first-semester Physics Education students generally do not have an adequate understanding of the structure, conventions, and types of scientific texts. This gap has the potential to hinder their ability to access, analyze, and produce scientific knowledge, which is a primary demand in higher education. This community service activity aims to explore students' initial understanding of scientific articles and improve it through genre-based academic writing training conducted offline. The activity was carried out in three stages: the preparation stage which includes a needs analysis; the implementation stage which includes an introduction to scientific articles, IMRaD structure, abstract writing, APA 7 citation conventions, writing ethics, and integrative exercises; and the evaluation stage through a questionnaire. Participants were 23 first-semester Physics Education Study Program students, Class of 2025. Data were collected using an initial perception questionnaire and a final perception questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and a normalized N-Gain test. The results showed an increase in the average score per item from 3.90 to 4.38, with an N-Gain of 0.44, which is considered moderate. After the training, all participants responded positively (100%). This activity proved effective in building students' conceptual understanding, self-confidence, and academic motivation for writing scientific articles.
