Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon and has become a challenge to world society. According to that, this study examines linguistics strategies used in the erasure of climate change discourse through ecolinguistics lenses. This study used a specialized corpus that was built through 224 articles from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) website, which was collected with the keywords perubahan iklim ‘climate change’, krisis iklim ‘climate crisis’, and ketahanan iklim ‘climate resilience’. The data was analyzed using Sketch Engine using keywords, concordance, and collocations features. Then, the analysis of data was conducted manually through semantic categorization. This paper used Stibbe’s the void and the mask framework for its analysis. The major themes found in this paper are the government and its activities as a part of international organizations. This paper also found that KLHK used several linguistics strategies to demonstrate climate change, including abstract terms and nominalization to obscure the social actors. Also, the theme of nature, such as non-human species are completely erased from the discourse. These results show that climate change discourse on KLHK’s website is contrary to the ecosophy of ecolinguistics that encourages highlighting the importance of non-human species in such discourse. It is clear that KLHK takes non-human species for granted in their climate change discourse compared to human activity in their discourse.

Abstract

This study is a sociolinguistic analysis utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach. The objective is to describe the differences in how males and females express delicious tastes and review food, as well as the distinctions between formal and informal language varieties in culinary vlogs on YouTube. The data for this study were collected from six culinary vloggers: three females (Ria SW, Mgdalenaf, and Separuh Aku Lemak) and three males (Tanboy Kun, Nex Carlos, and Mamank Kuliner). The primary sources of data were three videos from each of these YouTube channels. The data were gathered using a listening and note-taking method. For data analysis, the study employed theories of language and gender proposed by Lakoff (1973), Maltz & Borker (2009), and Wardhaugh & Fuller (2015). The findings revealed notable differences in the language used by males and females when expressing delicious taste. Males tend to use the word "delicious" in a more vulgar manner, while females tend to be more polite. Additionally, men provide detailed and direct information in their food reviews, whereas women are more minimal and hesitant in their descriptions. Moreover, men frequently use informal pronouns to convey solidarity, while women opt for formal pronouns and demonstrate greater politeness when reviewing food in their culinary vlogs.

Abstract

Transboundary haze has gained critical attention from global scholars since its impacts on society, economics, and health are prevalent in the mass media. By applying a corpus-ecolinguistics framework, this study examines the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian news media, broadcast between 2015 and 2024. This study 1) analyses the themes of transboundary haze news in Indonesian and Malaysian media, and 2) interprets the themes represented in the discourse ecologically. Using corpus analytical tools provided by Sketch Engine, this study examined the corpus keywords, collocations, and concordances. The findings show that, despite some identical themes, Indonesian mass media foreground the fires location, mitigation action, and non-human species impacted by the haze. In contrast, Malaysian mass media focuses on the affected areas and health issues. Both media involved similar strategies to frame the government as the responsible agent for mitigating the fires and haze. Ecologically, the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian mass media is ambivalent. In Indonesian media, transboundary haze is regarded as a disaster rather than a conflict due to human activities related to land clearings, whereas Malaysian media captures transboundary haze as a health and pollution issue. The ambivalent discourse is proven by the lack of human activities that cause transboundary haze, even though the media advocates for environmental and health issues as prevalent themes in news broadcasts. Ecologically, this study recommends that mass media emphasize the anthropocentric causes of transboundary haze to raise public awareness about human activities and their environmental consequences.

Abstract

The abbreviation is often found in naming institutions in Indonesia. This research is descriptive-qualitative. This research aims to identify the forms and patterns of abbreviations in naming State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) in Indonesia. The data collection method in this research is by observing and note-taking techniques. The data in this research are the trade names of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), which are undergoing a shortening process. The data was analyzed using the high method and the theory regarding Indonesian abbreviations by Kridalaksana. This research found that the abbreviations in BUMN trade names are abbreviations, acronyms, and fragments. The pattern for forming BUMN trade name abbreviations is by retaining the first letter of each component, retaining the first letter with the deletion of conjunction, retaining the first two letters, retaining the first three letters, retaining syllables, retaining letters and syllables, and abbreviating syllables.
