Abstract

Abstract Background: This article presents a discourse analysis of online heritage tourism posts about archaeological and cultural tourist destinations in Surakarta. The objective is to examine the use of evaluative language in cultural contexts for the promotion of local attractions to the international audience. Methodology: The sample texts, selected from two prominent tourism websites (www.lonelyplanet.com and www.javaheritagetour.com), are analyzed through the lens of Appraisal theory, complemented with SFL's concept of Register and Genre. Findings: The results demonstrate that the deployment of evaluative linguistic resources serves not only to promote destinations but also to represent specific cultural and social processes. The discourse on Surakarta's heritage tourism places emphasis on the city's archaeological and cultural significance through Monoglossic language, presenting factual, reactive evaluations that enhance focalization on heritage sites but overlook broader socio-economic and political dimensions, limiting alternative angles and inclusivity. Conclusion: The paper concludes by discussing potential reasons for the evaluative pattern and providing several implications for online heritage tourism cultural communication. Originality: The paper not only discusses conservation, traditions, site management, and visitor experiences, but also applies Appraisal analysis, SFL Genre mapping, and an extended Cultural Approach to Discourse applied to Surakarta's online heritage promotion.

Abstract

This research was conducted to study the language skills of English teachers of senior high schools in Sragen Regency in composing a journal article for publication in Bahasa Indonesia. This is aimed to see the quality of Bahasa Indonesia skills of the teachers in the article even though they have an English education background and they are English teachers at present. Members of the High School English Teachers Association in the regency were involved in the research. A questionnaire consisting of 45 statements was distributed to the teachers. They were asked to give responses and then the collected responses were analysed to see their language quality related to the process of article production. Furthermore, they were also asked to write a journal article in Bahasa Indonesia, and the collected manuscripts were then analysed for their text structure and text texture. The results show that they do not have good knowledge and language skills in identifying as well as producing texts of certain types. Furthermore, they also got problems positioning what type of text to which part of a journal article. This condition indicates that the teachers still need an upgrading program for their language skills to compose a journal article, and in addition, they need others to give a hand during the process of article writing

Abstract

This study examines the use of derivational and inflectional affixes in English news headlines published on The Jakarta Post website. The morphological analysis method is used to identify the types of affixes used and word formation patterns in the context of online media. The data collection technique was carried out using the observe and note method, where data was obtained by browsing and recording news headlines found on the site. This analysis uses the distribution method with an advanced technique in the form of Direct Element Sharing (BUL). Based on the results of the analysis, 214 words were found, with 60 affixed word data, consisting of 21 words through the derivation process and 39 words through the inflection process. The research findings show that derivational affixes, such as prefixes ("ir-") and suffixes ("-es", "-ing"), as well as inflectional affixes, such as tense markers and plural suffixes ("-s", "-es"), are often used in news headlines to influence the structure and meaning of words. The use of these affixes plays an important role in creating concise, informative, and interesting headlines for readers. In addition, this finding reveals that the choice of affixes can affect the interpretation of news and the effectiveness of communication in conveying information.
