Abstract

This scientometric study investigated the evolving intellectual landscape concerning the interplay between grammaticalization and semantic bleaching within idiomatic constructions. To achieve this objective, the study meticulously analyzed a dataset comprising 356 scholarly publications extracted from the Scopus database, spanning the period from 2014 to 2024. The research employed bibliographic data analysis and keyword clustering as primary analytical techniques. Our findings reveal four salient thematic clusters: “theory” (31.62% of notable keywords), “grammaticalization” (30.88%), “corpus & frequency” (29.41%), and “syntax & change” (8.09%). These clusters comprehensively underscore the most notable theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and specific linguistic subfields that significantly contribute to this active research area. To some extent, the findings provide a detailed overview of current research and suggest avenues for further investigations, particularly those employing corpus-based methods and incorporating insights from cognitive linguistics and construction grammar to further explore grammaticalization in specific languages, such as Indonesian.This scientometric studyinvestigated the evolving intellectual landscape concerning the interplay between grammaticalization and semantic bleaching within idiomatic constructions.

Abstract

The teaching of writing in a foreign language requires engaging approaches to foster learners’ motivation and participation. This study explores the integration of the Padlet platform in collaborative writing activities within the Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) classroom context. This study employed a mixed-methods design, collecting data from writing assessments (pre-test and post-test), questionnaires, observations, and field notes. Fifteen learners are involved in an online BIPA 2 course. Quantitative data were analyzed using a Paired T-Test in SPSS, while qualitative data were examined through Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings indicate that the application of collaborative writing strategies using Padlet facilitated active learner engagement and produced notable improvements in writing quality. Learners demonstrated increased idea exchange and creativity, as evidenced by a rise in average scores from the pre-test to the post-test. This study provides pedagogical insights for BIPA teachers in enhancing writing instruction through the use of digital collaboration tools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the pronunciation errors of English plosive consonants, especially the sounds /p/, /t/, /d/, and /k/, by Andovi Da Lopez in a rap cover music video on the SkinnyIndonesian24 Youtube channel. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The research data is in the form of Andovi Da Lopez's speech containing these plosive sounds, and the data source is a video uploaded on the SkinnyIndonesian24 Youtube channel. The data collection technique was carried out using the documentation study method. The collected data were then analyzed descriptively by identifying, classifying, and interpreting pronunciation errors of plosive sounds. The results of the study show that Andovi Da Lopez still has several weaknesses in pronouncing English plosive sounds. Specifically, it was found that Andovi Da Lopez still has weaknesses in pronouncing the sound /d/. In addition, the pronunciation of the sound /p/ often sounds like /b/, and the sound /t/ is pronounced following the pronunciation pattern of /d/. There are also several errors in pronunciation of the /k/ sound, such as not pronouncing it at the end of a word or replacing it with another sound.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze The New York Times’s role in representing the #MeToo movement from 2017 to 2023. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a Corpus-Based Critical Discourse Analysis (CBCDA) framework using Fairclough’s (2013) theory. The data were collected from 108 The New York Times articles containing the keyword “#MeToo” and compiled into a corpus using AntConc 3.4.4w. The analysis involved interpreting verbs and adjectives of collocation and concordance, followed by discourse practice and socio-cultural practice analysis. The findings reveal that the collocation of “#MeToo” is associated with verbs and adjectives that carry both positive and negative connotations. At the discourse practice level, The New York Times tends to portray women in the context of power inequality. Furthermore, the socio-cultural practice analysis indicates that the #MeToo movement reflects broader economic, political, and cultural dimensions. Overall, the results show that The New York Times embeds its ideology in representing the #MeToo movement. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that The New York Times not only reports on the #MeToo movement but actively participates in shaping its public meaning.

Abstract

Iyeq as a Dominant Politeness Marker in Sidrap Buginese in Sulawesi Selatan: A Sociopragmatic Perspective". The Buginese language in South Sulawesi has several dialects, one of which is the Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap) dialect. A distinguishing feature of the Sidrap dialect is the high and rapid intonation of its speakers. Due to this intonation, the Sidrap dialect is sometimes perceived as harsh by speakers of other Buginese dialects. However, language cannot be judged solely on speed and intonation, as numerous underlying social factors influence it, including differing standards and markers of politeness. This article is based on a study conducted in Macorawalie Village, Panca Rijang District, Sidrap Regency. The findings reveal that, in addition to age and occupation, speakers of the Sidrap dialect also take family or kinship relations into account when selecting language varieties in conversation. For instance, among older adults, the honorific variety is still employed even when interlocutors are close and of the same age. Furthermore, the word iyeq is identified as a dominant politeness marker in Sidrap Buginese speech. The word iyeq functions as an honorific complement within the politeness strategies of the Sidrap Buginese community. In conversational contexts, the word iyeq is consistently found and is generally placed at the beginning of a sentence.
