Abstract

The interest in the Balinese language as a regional language is currently declining, particularly in urban areas. However, it remains frequently used in political campaigns in Bali, especially in Denpasar. This usage typically involves code-switching with other languages. This study aims to uncover the motives behind using the Balinese language in political campaigns and examine the forms of code-switching employed by politicians. The research is descriptive-qualitative, based on verbal data gathered through observing legislative candidates' campaign activities in Denpasar. Data were collected by listening to politicians' speeches. The analysis was conducted using Hymes' communication ethnography theory and Philipsen's speech code theory. Findings indicate that the Balinese language is perceived as a marker of politeness and is considered effective in fostering a sense of closeness between the politicians and the community. The language is used in a code-mixing manner with Indonesian, creating a communication pattern known as a speech code. This includes expressions of prayers or greetings like Om Swastiastu; pronouns such as titiang, Ratu, Ida, Dane; and abstract nouns like ampura, sugra, nunas, and suksma. The Balinese language is predominantly used in the opening and closing parts of speeches, while its use in the content section is limited to the lexical level. The analysis suggests that this code-switching serves as a form of politeness by the communicators.

Abstract

This study examines cohesion and coherence in the narrative discourse of Kakawin Arjunawiwāha by Mpu Kanwa. The text was selected because of its well-structured narrative, consistent characterization, and strong religious and heroic values. Kakawin Arjunawiwāha recounts Arjuna's ascetic meditation on Mount Indrakila to obtain spiritual power for upholding dharma and assisting the gods in defeating the demon Niwatakawaca. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using theories of cohesion and coherence as the analytical framework. The data source is Kakawin Arjunawiwāha based on the edited text and English translation by Stuart Robson. The data consist of narrative passages that demonstrate relationships between sentences, ideas, and events. The analysis focuses on grammatical cohesion, lexical cohesion, and thematic, chronological, and causal coherence. The findings reveal that cohesion is established through referential ties among characters, collocations of religious terms such as tapa, brata, and yoga, and lexical relations that reinforce thematic unity. Coherence is achieved through a logical sequence of events, causal relationships between actions and their consequences, and thematic consistency concerning the pursuit of spiritual power to uphold righteousness. These features make Kakawin Arjunawiwāha a cohesive and coherent narrative that effectively conveys its moral and religious values.

Abstract

Kakawin Nītiśāstra is a classic Old Javanese literary work that holds significant cultural value, especially within Balinese society, and is widely studied in academic settings. Previous research has primarily focused on its ethical teachings and character education, highlighting its role as a moral guide for life. However, a closer examination of the text reveals stanzas that portray women in ways that contradict this interpretation, specifically presenting them as unequal to men. This study addresses the gap in existing literature by focusing on gender representation in Kakawin Nītiśāstra. Given its portrayal as a "guide" for life, the research aims to critically assess how gender roles are presented and encourage more thoughtful engagement with its teachings. Using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis framework and a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes content. The findings show that men are represented as active subjects who speak about and evaluate women, while women are positioned as passive objects under male control. The discourse reflects a patriarchal ideology, with readers implicitly constructed as male, reinforcing gender norms.
