Abstract

Ternate is one of the cities in North Maluku, located right beneath Gamalama Mountain. Ternate was once a trade center in the 13th century and became a melting pot for people from different countries with different purposes. There were Portuguese, Dutch, and Spanish with the aim of colonizing, and there were Arabian, Chinese, and locals outside Ternate, such as people from Halmahera, Sulawesi, Maluku, Sumatra, and Java, who came for trading. The arrival of these people contributes not only to language adaptation but also to place names known as toponymy. There are several relevant studies concerning toponymy in Indonesia, but they have yet to be done in Ternate. Hence, this research aims to: 1) analyze the morphological process of the villages naming in Ternate and 2) provide toponyms classification of the villages naming in Ternate. The primary data are taken from Ternate Dalam Angka, a statistical data from BPS Ternate, which contains 59 villages/sub-districts named in Ternate. The data was then analyzed and triangulated through in-depth interviews and literature studies. The data are presented both formally and informally. The analysis results show morphological processes concerning zero derivation, reduplication, compounding, abbreviation, back-formation, combination, borrowing, and phrases that occurred in the villages named in Ternate. The findings also attest to a theory proposed by George R. Stewart (2012) regarding toponymy classification of village naming in Ternate, in which there are descriptive, incident, possessive, commemorative, euphemistic, folk etymologies, manufactured, shift, mistake, descriptive + manufactured, euphemistic + manufactured, euphemistic + manufactured, and unknown.

Abstract

Plagiarism is a pervasive and serious ethical issue that involves the unauthorized use or appropriation of someone else's ideas, words, or creative work without proper acknowledgment or permission. It is an act of intellectual dishonesty that undermines the principles of academic and professional integrity. The term encompasses various forms of misrepresentation, including copying and pasting text, paraphrasing without proper citation, and presenting someone else's work as one's own. Plagiarism can be a common issue in educational settings, and various factors contribute to its prevalence. Therefore, it is important to understand these factors, especially from students’ point of view in order to help teachers take proactive measures toward plagiarism effectively. Based on this case, the purpose of this study is to examine undergraduate students’ perspective on potential causes of plagiarism in academic writing through qualitative data collection methods. The data will be collected from students in the English Department, Faculty of Cultural Science, Universitas Khairun (Unkhair) through a series of interviews. Students selected for the interview are those who have previously taken a writing test in which their results contained plagiarism. The analysis includes several reasons on why students tend to plagiarize. These reasons are thus summarized in a form of ‘theme’, which is why; thematic analysis approach is used for analyzing the data. The main themes that emerge from the aforementioned problem are: poor awareness of plagiarism; poor academic writing skills; laziness behaviors; deadlines and pressures; teaching issues; lack of integrity, and; grade over knowledge. The study results show that the causes of plagiarism are varied, and the description provided by students are able to help developing a strategy against plagiarism so that students will be more cautious and prioritize their own original work and academic honesty.

Abstract

The notion of colour has been an interesting yet controversial topic especially in the field of linguistics. Some scholars (Berlin and Kay, 1969) argued that every human being should have an insight of the basic colour terms as the universal inventory since the beginning. While other scholar (Wierzbicka, 1996) argued that rather than the colour concept as an inherent nature, it should be a dependant nature in which its terms was emerged because of what have been seen before. This long debate over the colour concept ties to a phenomenon that occurs in one of the indigenous languages in the Eastern part of Indonesia, namely Pelauw. This language apparently does not have any colour terms in its vocabulary as all the words for colour found in this language are borrowed from Bahasa Indonesia. To investigate this strange phenomenon, therefore, this paper will aim to examine the absence of colour concept in Pelauw language, and to use Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach (Goddard and Wierzbicka, 2014) for analyzing the terms ‘manggahina’ and ‘mete’ which are somehow used to address white and black colours, respectively. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to explain the phenomenon under study using NSM, which in this case, the absence of colour concept in Pelauw language. The results show that colour concept is not something which universally exists to begin with, instead, it is just a result of what have been seen through the vision that visualised and emerged as the colour terms. It is attested through the analysis of terms ‘manggahina’ and ‘mete’ using NSM which concludes that these terms are rather a visual descriptor than a colour concept.

Abstract

North Maluku, which located in the eastern part of Indonesia is known for its rich cultural diversity that has been established for centuries. There are many traditions and arts that are represented as part of its cultural expression, in which one of them is music. There are several genres of music that are popular among local residents, from traditional, such as Baronggeng music to modern, such as pop, dangdut, and rock. Amongst these variety of music genres, there is one genre that is able to attract the attention of people outside North Maluku, namely Folk Pop. Interestingly, one of the figures who is quite active in expressing North Maluku identity through this Folk Pop genre is a group of young people who are members of a local music group known as TreesHome. However, a question arises when considering whether or not the identity presented by TreesHome reflects the cultural identity of North Maluku Therefore, the study aims to attest how TreesHome is able to maintain the cultural identity of North Maluku in in each music video clip and each of their stage acts. This study is qualitative descriptive research, and by using Identity Theory approach by Stets and Burke (2022), the study will examine and analyze the aforementioned problem. From the analysis result, can be concluded that TreesHome is able to express elements of North Maluku's cultural identity through a combination of 7 out of 11 ethnic cultural elements proposed by Salter & Harpending (2013) with modernization in the Folk Pop music genre that they present which ultimately provides added value to the cultural identity of North Maluku. Overall, the research can contribute in development of strengthening North Maluku’s cultural identity through Folk Pop by combining traditional and modern music performance.
