Abstract

The Madurese language is slowly shifting because many young people prefer Indonesian, Arabic, or English in school and daily life. However, pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) still play an important role in keeping the Madurese language alive. This study examines how santri (students) at Pesantren Al-Hikam, Bangkalan maintain the Madurese language by looking at their opinions, challenges, and solutions. The research used a qualitative method with questionnaires (75 students) and interviews with six santri and two ustadzah (female religious teachers). The analysis was supported by theories of language attitude (Holmes, 2013), domains of use and language maintenance (Fishman, 1991; 1997), diglossia (Berger, 1990), and social networks (Milroy, 1992). Results show that santri are proud to use Madurese and see it as part of their identity. They use it in family, friendship, and religious settings, but face problems with polite speech levels like engghi bhunten (high speech level means yes-no), peer pressure, and the lower prestige of Madurese compared to other languages. To solve this, pesantren rules, peer support, and personal efforts help them keep using Madurese. The study shows that pesantren are not only for religion and education but also help protect local language and culture.

Abstract

This study explores interpersonal metafunctions in Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” using Systemic Functional Linguistics framework, focusing on MOOD and modality patterns. The research analyzes 34 clauses from official lyrics using descriptive qualitative method to understand how interpersonal meaning is constructed. Findings reveal declarative MOOD dominates (88.2%), followed by interrogative MOOD (11.8%), while imperative MOOD is absent. For modality, no modality appears most frequently (44.1%), followed by high modalization (23.5%). Results indicate Eilish uses declarative statements to share personal truths and create intimate connection with listeners, while interrogative moments reveal vulnerability. The prevalence of no modality establishes honest emotional facts, while high modalization provides certainty in uncertain situations. These linguistic choices demonstrate how contemporary artists construct authentic emotional connections through vulnerable yet respectful communication strategies.
