Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze phonological errors made by foreign speakers in the sitcom Kelas Internasional. The findings revealed three major types of phonological errors: phoneme omission, phoneme addition, and phoneme substitution. Among these, phoneme substitution occurred most frequently, followed by omission and addition. These errors are not merely mechanical but indicate the cognitive and articulatory strategies learners employ during second language acquisition. Phoneme omission was often related to working memory limitations and cognitive load, while phoneme addition reflected compensatory articulation strategies. Phoneme substitution was closely linked to the influence of the learners’ first language phonological system. This study contributes to the understanding of interlanguage phonology and highlights the importance of psycholinguistic perspectives in second language learning, particularly regarding the stabilization of phonological representations in foreign speakers.

Abstract

This research was conducted to study the language skills of English teachers of senior high schools in Sragen Regency in composing a journal article for publication in Bahasa Indonesia. This is aimed to see the quality of Bahasa Indonesia skills of the teachers in the article even though they have an English education background and they are English teachers at present. Members of the High School English Teachers Association in the regency were involved in the research. A questionnaire consisting of 45 statements was distributed to the teachers. They were asked to give responses and then the collected responses were analysed to see their language quality related to the process of article production. Furthermore, they were also asked to write a journal article in Bahasa Indonesia, and the collected manuscripts were then analysed for their text structure and text texture. The results show that they do not have good knowledge and language skills in identifying as well as producing texts of certain types. Furthermore, they also got problems positioning what type of text to which part of a journal article. This condition indicates that the teachers still need an upgrading program for their language skills to compose a journal article, and in addition, they need others to give a hand during the process of article writing

Abstract

This study analyzed speech acts in Katarina Blom’s TEDx Talk “You Don’t Find Happiness, You Create It,” using Searle’s (1979) Speech Act Theory. Few studies explore speech acts in motivational public discourse, despite their persuasive impact. The research aimed to identify and categorize speech acts in the talk’s transcript, employing a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis. Findings revealed assertive speech acts dominated (80.1%), conveying facts and personal insights, followed by directives (19.9%), encouraging audience reflection, and minimal expressive acts (2.1%), fostering emotional connection. No commissive or declarative acts were found, reflecting the talk’s focus on inspiration over commitment. This study extends speech act theory to motivational speeches, offering insights for public speakers to enhance communication effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the evolving neologism, ephemeral discourse, and socio-cultural significance of 10 Chinese internet buzzwords in 2021, which are 双减 (shuāng jiǎn), 躺平 (tǎng píng), 元宇宙 (yuán yǔ zhòu), YYDS (yǒng yuǎn de shén), 社交牛逼症 (shè jiāo niú bī zhèng), 绝绝子 (jué jué zǐ), 跌妈不认 (diē mā bù rèn), 破防 (pò fang), 鸡娃 (jī wá), and Emo (yī mó). Employing a quantitative and qualitative approach, we collected those buzzwords from news articles and analyzed their usage trends using the WeChat Index from 2021 to 2024. This study revealed the creative word formation processes and semantic properties of these neologisms among the netspeak. The WeChat Index data showed that seven out of the ten buzzwords experienced a decline in popularity after two years, while three buzzwords maintained an upward trend. Using the concept of ephemeral discourse and critical discourse analysis, we explored how these buzzwords addressed key social, cultural, and political issues, such as education reform, social pressures faced by youth, and the impact of technology on society. The buzzwords' popularity trends were influenced by factors such as the natural lifecycle of neologisms, shifting public priorities, and societal attitudes.

Abstract

Parody serves as a form of self-expression; therefore, the language employed tends to be humorous and sometimes illogical. However, the language used in parody also plays an essential role in ensuring that the intended message is effectively conveyed. The parodies featured on the Instagram account @parodi_barbie contain numerous instances of sarcastic expressions. The forms of sarcasm identified in these parodies vary, including illocutionary sarcasm, lexical sarcasm, like-prefixed sarcasm, and propositional sarcasm. The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of sarcasm found in the parodies and to explain the communicative functions of sarcasm presented in the Instagram account @parodi_barbie. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The research objects are parody videos from the @parodi_barbie Instagram account, with a total of ten videos selected as data sources. The selected videos are those with the highest number of viewers on the account. The findings reveal a total of 26 instances of sarcasm. Among these, propositional sarcasm appears most frequently (42%), followed by illocutionary sarcasm (27%), lexical sarcasm (23%), and like-prefixed sarcasm (8%). Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the parodies on this account often address various social issues occurring in society. However, the criticism is delivered humorously, allowing it to be received positively by the audience.

Abstract

The phonotactics of Old Javanese has been described by Ogloblin (1991), Mardiwarsito and Kridalaksana (2012), and Suarka (2018). In general, these studies explain the phonotactics of Old Javanese based on the number of phonotactic patterns found along with examples of words that represent each of these tribal patterns. However, the three studies have not explained the specific types of phonemes that are distributed in the tribal patterns in Old Javanese. The purpose of this research is to describe the distribution of Old Javanese phonemes in monosyllabic words. This research uses a qualitative method. The data sources used are the Old Javanese-Indonesian dictionary (Zoetmulder, 2006) and the online dictionary of the Old Javanese language http://sealang.net/ojed/. This research uses the classification of Old Javanese tribal patterns by Suarka (2018); there are 11 phonotactic patterns in Old Javanese. Data collection was done by searching and recording words containing the 11 Old Javanese tribal patterns in the Old Javanese-Indonesian dictionary (Zoetmulder, 2006). The data were grouped based on the type of phonemes that occupy the existing tribal patterns. This research produces a type of phoneme that tends to be distributed to occupy the position of the tribal pattern in monosyllabic words.
