Abstract

This research aimed to identify the questioning strategies used by debate hosts in Mata Najwa and Kick Andy and to investigate how these strategies influenced the flow of dialogue, issue framing, and the quality of informants’ responses. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that Najwa Shihab employed five types of questions, namely opening questions, informative questions, Socratic questions, controlling questions, and rhetorical questions. These question types were used to build rapport, obtain factual explanations, stimulate critical thinking, ensure clarity, and provide subtle critique. Andy F. Noya employed six types of questions, consisting of opening questions, informative questions, Socratic questions, directing questions, alternative questions, and closing questions. These strategies functioned to guide the discussion, clarify political positions, and maintain structured and balanced interactions. The findings indicated that both hosts effectively managed the direction and focus of the conversation, prevented digression from key topics, and enhanced audience understanding of complex legal and political issues. The implications of this research indicated that people could apply effective questioning in daily life to understand complex information and evaluate issues critically. This research contributes to discourse analysis by highlighting the role of questioning strategies in public and political debates, while offering practical insights for hosts, journalists, and educators to guide discussions.

Abstract

Metonymy is a form of language use in the world that is commonly used in sports discourse, especially football, to present information more concisely and expressively. This research aims to analyze the use of types of metonymy in football news and identify the dominant pattern in its use. This research uses qualitative research methods with data sources from several football websites. The data analysis used is data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that there are seven types of metonymy found in football news, namely part for whole, producer for product, object for user, controller for controlled, institution for people responsible, place for institution, and place for event. The most dominant type of metonymy is Controller for Controlled with a percentage of 26.67%, followed by Institution for People Responsible with 20% occurrence. Furthermore, object for user is in the third position with 15% occurrence. The use of metonymy in football news is to make the delivery of information more concise, expressive, and interesting for readers. In addition, metonymy is also used to clarify the relationship between an entity and the role or action it represents, so that the news is easier to understand and has its own appeal in its writing style.

Abstract

This research investigates the naming of huta (traditional residences) in Toba Regency from an anthropolinguistic approach, aiming to describe the linguistic performance and to formulate the underlying naming patterns. The research problem emerges from the diminishing awareness among younger generations, which threatens the continuity of historical knowledge and cultural identity embedded in huta names. Using a qualitative design with an interactive model, data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and supported by document analysis of oral narratives and archival sources. The findings reveal that a total of 92 huta names were identified, of which 82 are polymorphemic and only 10 are monomorphemic. Polymorphemic names reflect productive morphological processes such as affixation, reduplication, and compounding, and frequently encode ecological features (e.g., rivers, hills, flora, and fauna) as well as kinship relations and cultural values. Further analysis shows that naming aspects can be categorized into manifestation (39.13%), society (33.70%), and culture (27.17%). The predominance of manifestation aspects illustrates the Batak Toba people’s ecological orientation, while the presence of clan names and ancestral references highlights the strong kinship system. Cultural aspects, meanwhile, preserve collective memories of historical events, tools, and symbolic practices. These findings show that huta naming constitute a multidimensional system that integrate linguistic, ecological, social, and cultural elements, functioning both as spatial marker and as instrument of cultural preservation. This research contributes to the development of place naming research in Indonesia and underscores the need to safeguard local wisdom through documentation and cultural education.
