Abstract

This study investigates the morphological process of reduplication in the Javanese language as used in the short movie Anak Lanang. Using Rubino’s (2005) structural typology as the analytical framework, the research identifies and classifies eleven reduplicated forms found in the film’s dialogue. The data were analyzed descriptively by first extracting reduplicated items from the transcription, then categorizing them into the types that emerged: full reduplication, partial reduplication, sound-modifying reduplication, and affixed reduplication. Each item was examined for its morphological structure, part of speech, and semantic function, supported by English translations for clarity. The findings show that full reduplication is the most frequently used type, serving functions such as plurality, intensity, habitual action, and gradual processes. Partial reduplication and sound-modifying reduplication contribute to derivational and expressive meanings, while affixed reduplication—common in Austronesian languages—forms activity and behavioral nouns through the addition of the suffix –an. Overall, the study demonstrates that reduplication remains a productive and multifunctional feature of Javanese morphology, actively shaping meaning in natural conversational contexts. These results reinforce the importance of reduplication in the linguistic system of Javanese and highlight its role in everyday communication.

Abstract

This study investigates vowel insertion in Indonesian by examining the phenomenon through both Generative Phonology and phonetic realization. The research is grounded in the framework of Chomsky and Halle (1968), who propose that phonological rules map underlying representations onto surface forms, and in Crystal’s (2008) description of epenthesis as the insertion of a sound to facilitate pronunciation. The data consist of Indonesian words containing illegal initial consonant clusters, alongside recordings from four native speakers whose pronunciations were analyzed auditorily. The generative phonology analysis reveals that vowel insertion functions as a systematic repair strategy triggered by clusters such as /st-/, /sp-/, /sk-/, and /sr-/, which violate Indonesian phonotactic constraints. The phonetic findings support this structure-driven analysis: all speakers consistently inserted a mid vowel—realized as [e] or [ə]—in the predicted environments, confirming the rule’s empirical validity. Taken together, the structural predictions and phonetic evidence demonstrate that Indonesian vowel insertion is both theoretically motivated and phonetically realized. The study contributes to the understanding of Indonesian phonology by showing how abstract phonological rules interact with actual speech production to maintain syllable well-formedness.

Abstract

This study investigates how male and female santri at Pesantren Al Hikam Burneh differ in their communication styles, guided by Deborah Tannen’s (1991) theory of rapport talk and report talk. The research seeks to answer how gender influences language use in both private and public interactions within the pesantren environment. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews with several male and female santri who actively engage in daily communication. The findings show that female santri tend to express empathy, support, and emotional openness, which align with rapport talk, while male santri often focus on clarity and giving solutions, reflecting report talk. However, the results also reveal differences from Tannen’s assumptions; female santri appear more confident in public speaking, and male santri show politeness and restraint influenced by pesantren values. These variations suggest that gendered communication among santri is shaped not only by gender roles but also by religious and cultural norms that promote respect, balance, and harmony.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the use of mind mapping as a teaching technique to enhance students’ writing skills in descriptive text. Using a qualitative library research approach, data were gathered from secondary sources, including theses, journals, and articles published between 2012 and 2024. The analysis focused on identifying teaching procedures, outcomes, and effectiveness across five selected studies. The findings indicate that mind mapping significantly improves students’ ability to generate, organize, and connect ideas, resulting in more coherent and creative descriptive texts. It also enhances vocabulary, grammar, and students’ motivation to write. Across the reviewed studies, post-test scores consistently showed substantial improvement, demonstrating the technique’s effectiveness in both secondary and tertiary educational contexts. Mind mapping’s use of colors, images, and keywords makes the writing process more engaging and accessible, supporting active learning and critical thinking. Based on these findings, the study recommends that English teachers adopt mind mapping as a strategy to improve descriptive writing skills and suggests further exploration of its application to other genres of writing.

Abstract

This study investigates how audio-only and multimodal (audio plus visual) techniques affect speech perception among Indonesian EFL learners. Using a quasi-experimental design, 60 third-semester English literature students were divided into two groups that received either an audio recording or an audio-visual video of the same narrative, “The Little Red Hen,” followed by a 20-item speech perception test and questionnaires on emotional engagement and learning satisfaction. Results show that the multimodal group achieved significantly higher comprehension scores than the audio-only group, with a large effect size indicating a substantial advantage of visual cues such as facial expressions and gestures in supporting listening. Correlation analyses also revealed significant positive relationships between emotional engagement, learning satisfaction, and speech perception in both conditions, with stronger coefficients for the multimodal group. These findings suggest that multimodal input not only improves comprehension by reducing cognitive load and enriching contextual information but also enhances affective factors that are crucial for successful language learning. The study recommends that EFL educators incorporate multimodal materials to optimize listening instruction and calls for further research on the long-term impact of different visual cue types in varied learning contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the focalization techniques applied in Tima Shomali's film AlRawaby School For Girls Season 2, with reference to the narratological theoretical framework developed by Gérard Genette. The main focus of the study lies on three types of focalization: zero focalization, internal focalization, and external focalization with types of bullying, namely physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study identifies and analyzes how the three types of focalization are used to convey the narrative, shape the audience's perception, and construct social meaning in the storyline. The results show that the film is dominated by internal focus centered on the characters who are victims of bullying, thus presenting a subjective and empathetic narrative. In addition, there is also a shift to external focalization in several scenes that show the objective reality of bullying as a social phenomenon. In other words, the film AlRawaby School For Girls Season 2 not only depicts the personal experiences of the victims, but also highlights the structural and systemic aspects of bullying in a broader social context.
