Abstract

This study aims to identify and classify the kinship terms used by the Sasak ethnic community in Karang Bayan and to analyze the social functions of these terms within cultural and communicative contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnolinguistic and anthropolinguistic approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving three generational groups: elders, adults, and youth. The findings reveal that the Sasak kinship lexicon in Karang Bayan consists of two major categories: consanguineal kinship (e.g., amaq, inaq, polong) and affinal kinship (e.g., semame, senine, mentoak mama). These terms not only denote familial relations but also serve as linguistic expressions of social values such as respect, hierarchy, and customary obligations. The usage of these terms reflects ethnic identity and functions as a mechanism for intergenerational transmission of cultural values. The study confirms the essential role of language in maintaining social structure and cultural identity among the Sasak people amid the pressures of modern change.

Abstract

Toxic masculinity refers to certain masculine behaviors and traits that can have adverse effects on both men and those around them. This study aimed to identify the concept of masculinity, forms, causes, and impacts of toxic masculinity on the protagonist, Okonkwo, and those around him in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, based on Connell’s hegemonic masculinity theory. This qualitative study employed a textual analysis method and a close reading approach. The primary data for this study were drawn from the novel Things Fall Apart. The results indicated that in Igbo culture, masculinity is defined by the man’s role as the primary leader and decision-maker within the family unit. Okonkwo exhibits several forms of toxic masculinity, including physical violence, dominance over women, misogyny, coercion, and homicide. Various factors, such as a dysfunctional family, exposure to violence, peer rejection, bullying, fear of weakness, and fear of failure influenced Okonkwo’s behaviors. As a consequence, he suffered from depression, anxiety, and encouragement to violence, which ultimately led him to be aggressive to those around him, and this culminates in his suicide.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using the CAKE application in improving the English language skills of Bumigora University students. This research was conducted through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model, which consists of two cycles. Each cycle involves four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection, involving 40 students of the Information Technology Study Program. Data collection techniques used in this study were a Speaking Ability Test, Observation, Questionnaires, and Interviews. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' speaking skills after using the CAKE application as a learning medium. The average pre-test score of 54.90 indicated that students' initial abilities were still in the low category. After the implementation of the action in cycle I, the average score increased to 66.82, indicating initial improvements in the aspects of pronunciation, fluency, and students' confidence in speaking. In cycle II, the average score increased again significantly to 79.28, indicating that the consistent use of the CAKE application had a positive impact on the development of students' speaking skills. Thus, this study concludes that CAKE is an effective and relevant digital learning medium in supporting the mastery of EFL students' speaking skills, especially in the context of technology-based learning in higher education.

Abstract

This study investigates language style variation in everyday social interactions among residents of Karang Pendem, Cakranegara. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research observes and analyzes spontaneous language use in natural settings such as homes, markets, temples, and public gatherings. Data were collected through field observations and detailed note-taking, and analyzed using theories of sociolinguistics, particularly Labov’s theory of variation, Holmes’ sociopragmatic approach, and Hymes’ communicative competence. The findings reveal four dominant categories of style-shifting based on interlocutor: (1) to elders, marked by respectful forms and high Balinese (basa alus); (2) to peers, characterized by informal tone, casual Indonesian, and code-mixing; (3) to strangers or outsiders, involving formal Indonesian and neutral speech; and (4) to children or socially subordinate individuals, featuring directive, simplified language. These shifts are shown to be strategic and culturally encoded, reflecting values such as respect, solidarity, and caution. The study concludes that style-shifting is not merely a linguistic habit but a culturally informed social strategy. Language variation in Karang Pendem operates as a tool for managing relationships, reinforcing social roles, and maintaining community norms. The findings affirm that language style functions both as a medium of expression and as a reflection of deep-rooted sociocultural structures.
