Abstract

This study explores two social movements in Indonesia to measure the extent to which the locals mobilize towards the center. This objective departs from two contradictory statements, namely 'Global Language' (Crystal, 2003; see also the issue of Linguistic Imperialism) which argues that globalization always moves towards the center and produces uniformity, and another statement which argues that globalization results in varieties and differences (Blommaert, 2007, 2010; Machin & van Leeuwen, 2003; Pennycook, 2006). Therefore, two significant global social movements in Indonesia were chosen in this article. The first one is the social movement of Tragedi Kanjuruhan which started from specific local issues and narratives, and the second one is Global Climate Strike social movement which started from global issues shared by people worldwide. Both social movements have a specific language rhetoric. It is shown through the languages used in each social movement which reflects locality and globality. To examine this mobilization, this study employs scaling or scale measurement as a method (see sociolinguistic scales from Blommaert, 2010; scalar practice from Canagarajah & De Costa, 2016), focusing on scope and value (horizontal and vertical measurement). From the analysis, it is known that the differences in linguistic resources contribute to different elements of locality and mobility which circulates with different motives. In the end, this study can offer valuable insights into understanding how global and local are mobilized in one example of globalization.

Abstract

This study examines the variation in children’s spoken language, with a particular focus on the use of swear words. It compares how swear words are defined and analyzed by Artificial Intelligence (Perplexity AI) and the electronic form of Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). The research adopts a sociolinguistic framework, drawing on Steven Pinker's (2005) theories of swearing, Anderson and Trudgill’s (1992) work on language variation, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. By integrating these approaches, the study aims to explore the variation and transformation of swear words among children. Data were collected through primary sources, including direct observations and voice recordings of children’s conversations. The analysis involved categorizing the swear words, identifying their functions, analyzing their use in context, and comparing their definitions in Perplexity AI and KBBI. The study found that the online KBBI struggles to keep up with the rapid development of swear words used by children, whereas Perplexity AI offers a more adaptive and accurate representation of these terms. Seventeen swear words were identified and categorized into four groups: humorous (6 words), expletive (5 words), auxiliary (3 words), and abusive swearing (3 words). These words performed 13 distinct functions in children’s conversations. The findings highlight the limitations of traditional dictionaries in capturing contemporary language, while also emphasizing the potential of AI tools in documenting and analyzing evolving linguistic trends. This study also finds the transformation of swear words based on cultural and social context.

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic landscape at the Cisaat village and explains the reflection of top-down tourism approach in the linguistic landscape at the Cisaat village. The village is planned to be a leading agritourism and educational tourist village by a state university based in the capital city of Indonesia – Universitas Negeri Jakarta. The plan is formulated with a top-down approach since each plan and move is decided by the actors or authorities on the upper hierarchical level (top) and centralistic. To understand how LL reflects the top-down tourism approach, any signs along the main road in the village were collected and classified according to the language use. The result shows that only two languages were found to be significant for this study: Indonesian and Sundanese language. The Indonesian monolingual signs dominated the LL in the area. The anticipated appearance of local language from the mobility of language in periphery and the anticipated multilingualism from the grand plan of Kampung Bahasa by the university does not translate into the LL. The result reflects the top-down tourism approach in the area. The village becomes an area of interesting encounter between centre and periphery, top and bottom, affected by the tourism approach initiated by the university from the capital of Indonesia. Keywords: linguistic landscape, monolingualism, monolingual signs, top-down approach, top-down signs, tourism

Abstract

Environmental issues are currently a global focus, affecting various aspects of life, including literature. Some contemporary literary works, such as Ghost Fleet, a novel by P.W. Singer and August Cole, also engage with environmental issues. Ghost Fleet is a contemporary techno-thriller that explores the possibility of a third World War, emphasizing the use of sophisticated and cyber technologies in warfare. Although ecological issues are not the novel’s main topic, its depiction of nature as a background highlights the significant role of war and technology on environmental destruction. With that background, this study examines these issues by using the lens of ecocriticism, a theoretical approach that explores the relationship between literature and the environment. This study is a qualitative study which analyzes data from the novel as its main source. The findings reveal some cases of environmental destruction, both biological and physical, caused by the use of modern technology, specifically in the context of warfare. This study underscores the importance of further research on environmental and war-related themes in literature, contributing to a broader understanding of global environmental issues.
