Abstract

This study explored the evolving  research landscape on complex word formation within contemporary syntactic frameworks using a scientometric approach. Employing bibliographic data of 350 journal articles (2014 – 2024) retrieved from Scopus, the study examined publication trends, author productivity, and prominent publication avenues, utilizing VOSviewer for data visualization and network analysis. Findings revealed a growing body of literature, with an average of 34 publications annually and a notable increase in recent years. Verspoor and Culbertson emerged as the leading authors within this research focus, while Lingua and Languages were identified as the most prominent journal publishers. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed ten thematic clusters, highlighting the nature of this research domain. Two main clusters, “word constructions” (20.4%) and “syntax” (18.5%), dominated the landscape, followed by four intermediate clusters focusing on “compounds” (15.7%), “artificial intelligence” (14.85), “syntactic complexity” (10.2%), and “verb” (6.5%). Four minor clusters explored more specialized themes such as “speech perception and recursion” (4.6%), “syntactic processing and sentence comprehension” (3.7%), “syntax, semantics, and information structure” (3.7%), and “sign language and language evolution” (1.9%). These findings, to a certain extent, offer implications for grammar pedagogy, emphasizing the need for teaching approaches that reflect the interconnected nature of complex word formation.

Abstract

Political speech plays a crucial role in shaping public perception, influencing emotions, and constructing ideological narratives. This study employs a scientometric approach to analyze research trends on figurative language in political discourse over the past decade (2014–2024). Using bibliometric data from the Scopus database, we examined 870 journal articles to identify key themes, publication trends, and dominant research clusters. Findings indicate significant growth in the field, particularly from 2018 onward, reflecting increased scholarly interest in political rhetoric. Social Media and Society, Cogent Arts & Humanities, and Theory and Practice in Language Studies emerged as leading publication venues. Thematic analysis revealed four major research clusters: (1) Language and Rhetoric, focusing on metaphor, framing, and discourse strategies; (2) Politician Identity, covering leadership, charisma, and political messaging; (3) Political Discourse, highlighting ideology, persuasion, and propaganda; and (4) Political Events, examining how figurative language is used during elections, crises, and debates. While this study provides a macro-level overview of research on figurative language in politics, it also highlights gaps in qualitative analysis. Future research should integrate rhetorical criticism with scientometric approaches to provide deeper insights into how figurative language influences political engagement. Additionally, expanding the dataset to include diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives would enhance the understanding of global rhetorical strategies. By mapping this field, the study contributes to a more comprehensive knowledge of how language and power interact in political communication.

Abstract

This study delves into the use of satirical comments and political humor in TikTok videos in Indonesia, utilizing a critical discourse analysis (CDA) framework. The study aims to investigate how political issues and figures are depicted through satirical comments in society of the digital natives. The analysis focused on TikTok users’ linguistic and discursive strategies to criticize and satirize political events, figures, and policies. The study used a collection of TikTok videos. It employed a multi-modal approach, analyzing the textual content and visual and audio elements contributing to humor and satire. A qualitative methodology combining content analysis with discourse analysis techniques was used to identify recurring themes, rhetorical devices, and humor patterns in the satirical comments. Specifically, the application of CDA facilitated the deconstruction of power dynamics embedded within the satirical discourse, revealing how TikTok users leverage humor to challenge dominant political narratives. The findings revealed that TikTok users used linguistic devices such as irony, sarcasm, parody, and wordplay to convey their satirical messages. The satirical comments often targeted political figures, policies, and events, focusing on corruption, governance, and social inequality issues. Through humor, TikTok users expressed their dissent and critique of the political system while also participating in creating an alternative public sphere for political discourse. However, the study noted that these satirical comments could be controversial, as they may perpetuate stereotypes or reinforce existing political biases.

Abstract

Derivational morphology is crucial for understanding the organization of language and dynamics of vocabulary expansion. Despite extensive research in this area, a data-driven analysis of research trends and thematic development has been lacking. This study aims to address this gap by employing a scientometric approach to analyze publications on derivational morphology from 2014 to 2024. Utilizing the Scopus database, a corpus of 370 English-language publications was compiled and analyzed using VOSviewer software. The findings reveal a steady growth in yearly output, with an average of 34 publications per year. Network visualization of keyword co-occurrence identified five prominent thematic clusters: (1) core morphological concepts (22.78%), (2) morphology-semantics interface (20.14%), (3) morphology-syntax interface (19.44%), (4) psycholinguistic perspectives (18.06%), and (5) cognitive aspects of word recognition (14.58%). Collectively, these cluster illuminate the evolving landscape of derivational morphology research, highlighting key areas for future investigation, particularly at the interfaces with semantics, syntax, and cognition. The study’s findings therefore offer guidance for shaping future research trajectories and developing comprehensive morphology curricula that reflect the field’s nature.

Abstract

This study sought to describe education-related conversations or talks of education (TE) from a systemic functional linguistics (SFL) perspective, focusing on how textual themes were deployed by speakers. TEDx talk, a reliable online source, was chosen as the source for the data used to support this study. The analysis’s validated data was the transcription of an education-related speech. Documentation, transcription, and in-depth textual fragmentation were the three primary techniques utilized during data processing and analysis. This study demonstrates, based on its findings, that the textual theme was not utilized in all portions of speech; it was the type of theme for which the speaker was required to provide further information. Despite the limitations of performance, a particular construction and functionalization have been applied to the textual theme. There were phrasal and clausal formulations of textual themes, as well as their role within multiple themes

Abstract

This study examines the morphosemantic features of Indonesian light verb constructions (LVCs) that utilize the light verb memenuhi. LVCs are a common linguistic feature in Indonesian, consisting of a light verb and a noun that gives the construction a specific meaning. Using a corpus-based approach, this study analyzed LVCs with memenuhi from the Indonesian - Leipzig Corpora Collection (ILCC). This analysis focused on the semantic and syntactic properties of these constructions. The findings indicate that memenuhi is crucial in assigning specific meanings to LVCs. This study identified, at least, four semantic patterns: (1) /memenuhi/ + noun denoting ‘requirements’ or ‘expectations’, (2) /memenuhi/ + noun denoting ‘goals’ or ‘objectives’, (3) /memenuhi/ + noun denoting ‘obligations’ or ‘duties’, and (4) /memenuhi/ + noun denoting ‘situations’ or ‘encounters’. The first semantic pattern can occur in constructions such as /memenuhi kriteria/ ‘meet a criterion’ (-occurrence: 89.100). The second semantic pattern can occur in constructions such as /memenuhi target/ ‘meet a target’ (-occurrence: 47.931). The third semantic pattern can also occur in constructions such as /memenuhi janji/ ‘fulfill a promise’ (-occurrence: 8.238). Lastly, the fourth semantic pattern can occur in constructions such as /memenuhi panggilan/ ‘answer the call’ (-occurrence: 69.672). Syntactically, LVCs with memenuhi exhibit a range of structures, including transitive, intransitive, and ditransitive constructions. Among these three structures, there are at least three thematic relationships that can be found, namely agent, patient, and beneficiary. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of light verbs in shaping the meaning of LVCs in Indonesian.
