Abstract

This study examines conceptual metaphors in the Sumbawa language that reflect the ideal and non-ideal physical forms of its people. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were collected from 12 informants by interviews and corroborated with other sources including dictionaries, other online sources, and confirmation from native speakers. This method was used because it allows the identification and classification of metaphors used to reflect or conceptualize the views of the Sumbawa people. The analysis results show that shape metaphors in the Sumbawa language function not only as rhetorical tools, but also as cognitive and cultural mechanisms in shaping physical form standards in Sumbawa society. Data identification shows the most dominant source domains such as food, flora, cosmos, animals, nature, objects, humans, and even mystical things. Meanwhile, the most dominant target domains projecting metaphors of ideal and non-ideal physical forms include parts of the face, body parts, and the body as a whole. These source and target domains were then mapped to conceptualize ideal and non-ideal physical forms in the Sumbawa language. For example, in the expressions “batata bulan satangal” (crescent forehead) and “mara bulan buntar subuh” (like a full moon at dawn). In the data, the moon is understood as a symbol of beauty, light, and perfection, thus mapping it to the human body, which is considered ideal. Conversely, mystical domains, such as the expressions "yam serusu" (like a sleep-disturbing genie) and "yam bura Labu" (like a Labu's magic), are used to describe bodies considered sub-ideal, disproportionate, and unsightly. Thus, this study demonstrates that conceptualization of the body in Sumbawa society is influenced not only by physical experience but also by local cultural belief systems. This research is expected to contribute to the development of cognitive linguistics studies by presenting empirical data from regional languages ​​that have previously been underexplored.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in memory recall between concrete and abstract vocabulary from the perspective of Working memory among university students. The study employed a quantitative approach using a simple experimental (within-subject) design. The participants consisted of 112 university students. The research instrument included two vocabulary lists containing 20 concrete words and 20 abstract words. Participants were asked to observe the word lists for 60 seconds and subsequently recall the words within 2–3 minutes. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The findings revealed that the mean score for concrete vocabulary recall was 11.688, whereas the mean score for abstract vocabulary recall was 9.491. The paired sample t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between concrete and abstract vocabulary recall. These findings suggest that concrete words are easier to remember because they possess stronger visual and verbal representations within the cognitive system. This study reinforces Dual coding theory in the context of language processing among university students and provides practical implications for vocabulary learning strategies based on visualization.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan keterbacaan buku Kera yang Nakal dan Kura-Kura yang Baik berdasarkan Pedoman Perjenjangan Buku serta menentukan kesesuaian jenjang pembacanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik dokumentasi dan baca-catat. Data penelitian berupa kosakata, kalimat, paragraf, dan kepadatan teks dalam buku. Analisis dilakukan berdasarkan indikator struktur bahasa, panjang kalimat, jumlah kalimat per halaman, kosakata, repetisi bahasa, kepadatan teks, dan kesesuaian karakteristik buku dengan jenjang pembaca awal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa buku ini menggunakan kalimat sederhana dan kosakata konkret yang sesuai dengan karakteristik pembaca awal. Namun, beberapa halaman memiliki kepadatan teks cukup tinggi dan repetisi bahasa yang kurang alami. Berdasarkan karakteristik keterbacaannya, buku Kera yang Nakal dan Kura-Kura yang Baik lebih sesuai dengan pembaca awal jenjang B2 dibandingkan B1. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa keterbacaan buku anak tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kalimat pendek, tetapi juga oleh kepadatan teks, organisasi cerita, dan kesesuaian karakteristik buku dengan kemampuan pembaca sasaran.
