Abstract

This study analyzes the construction of armed conflict in Arabic news discourse through the nuanced application of four lexical anchors in Al Jazeera Arabic reporting: ḥarb (war), ṣirāʿ (conflict), silāḥ (weapons), and ḍaḥīya (victim). The issue at hand is that assessments of responsibility, humanitarian impact, and political legitimacy are frequently embedded in local lexical selections that are insufficiently analyzed in limited Arabic corpora. The goal is to figure out what these words mean in context and how they shape the way we talk about violence, competition, ability, and agency. The research utilizes a concordance-only corpus linguistic design through Sketch Engine. Ten hard news articles are collected into a custom corpus, and every Key Word in Context line for the four target words is read and coded, keeping clause-level co-text like intensifiers, numeric strings, attribution verbs, and source nouns. The findings show that there are different roles in the discourse. Ḥarb co selects with more intense descriptors and more precise numbers for humanitarian harm, such as detailed casualty and economic figures. This moralizes and measures war. Ṣirāʿ records competition between multiple actors and structural conflict, often placing current conflicts in the context of longer historical patterns. Silāḥ manifests in claims concerning military action that are evidentially circumscribed, as well as in material records detailing logistics, funding, and safe havens, while simultaneously leveraging public opinion data. ḍaḥīya functions as a transition from passive victimhood to an agentive identity through value-laden lexicon and the legitimization of surveys. Implications encompass the efficacy of concordance-based deep analysis for small Arabic corpora, practical monitoring criteria for newsrooms regarding numeric displays and source attribution, and groundwork for cross-outlet comparisons and Arabic-sensitive quantitative layering in subsequent research.

Abstract

The advancement of the movie industry makes it undeniable that wars between countries have occurred until now. It's just that the way of fighting is different. This study can conceptually illustrate the strategy of a country to attack another country by reconstructing the country's image negatively. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of Japan as a colonizer in a Korean film entitled "Exhuma." This study employed a qualitative research design. The Exhuma film's symbol analysis research requires a wide range of data sources to support the interpretation of its meaning and messages. The primary source of data is the Exhuma film, where the researcher thoroughly examines the symbol elements to determine which symbols are there. The data is analyzed in seven stages: identification of symbols, analysis of literal meaning, relationship of symbols with context, consideration of interpretation, strengthening interpretation with supporting evidence, relationship of interpretation with themes, and drawing conclusions about the findings. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that in the film Exhuma, Japan is represented as a colonizer with two categories of historical and mythical symbols. Historical symbols are signs or symbols that depict the atrocities of Japanese colonization, based on adaptations of historical facts. While mystical symbols are signs or symbols that represent the atrocities of Japanese colonization based on supernatural or mystical beliefs and myths in the beliefs and culture of South Korean society.

Abstract

Background of the problem: Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in learning, yet many students have difficulty in mastering it. Conventional learning methods are often less effective in increasing student engagement, so innovative learning models are needed. Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of STAD learning model in improving students' reading comprehension in grade VII at junior school South Halmahera. Method: This study used pre-experiment method with one-group pre-test and post-test design. The research sample consisted of 30 students, who were selected using cluster sampling techniques. Data was collected through reading comprehension tests before and after the application of the STAD model. Data analysis was conducted using t-test to measure the significance of differences in pre-test and post-test results. Result: The pre-test mean score was 55.30, while the post-test mean score increased to 77.40. The t-test result (19.55) was greater than the t-table (1.699) at a significant level of 0.05 with a degree of freedom (df) of 29. This shows that there is a significant increase in reading comprehension after the application of the STAD model. Implication: The results of this study indicate that the STAD learning model can be used as an effective strategy to improve students' reading comprehension. Therefore, it is recommended for educators to apply this model in learning to improve student learning outcomes, as well as develop further research to see its effectiveness in other subjects.
