Abstract

News always implies ideological background and social condition that produces it. News as popular media continuously constructs reality which is then believed to be the truth by the audience or readers. Pandemic COVID-19 has become an issue that attracts media as well as newspaper. The infection rate of COVID-19 keeps increasing due to the variants that continue to emerge. This research aims to investigate how COVID-19 variants, especially Delta and Omicron variants, are constructed on The Jakarta Post. The data used in this paper is the headline news about COVID-19 variants (Delta and Omicron) on The Jakarta Post during 2021-2022. The data was analyzed using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The analysis confirms that Delta Variant was constructed as deadly virus that caused so many problems in Indonesia, while Omicron Variant was represented as virus that was less harmful than Delta Variant. These findings imply the ideological background and social condition in Indonesia during the pandemic COVID-19. The media emphasized the government’s and society’s role during the pandemic COVID-19.

Abstract

Suicide notes are powerful pieces of evidence in suicide cases, left as messages by individuals who commit or intend to commit suicides. The intention of leaving suicide notes is mostly to convey thoughts and feelings that are unknown to people when the victims are alive. This study investigated the linguistic features contained in the suicide note written by a college student of UNNES using descriptive-qualitative as the research method and applying Prokofyeva's theory of suicide notes linguistic features. The suicide note is available and can be accessed online. This study aimed to analyze the forensic stylistic approach towards the suicide note by showing the linguistic features and interpreting the messages delivered by the victim. The researchers classified and described the data in five distinguished characteristics of linguistic features found in the suicide note; clear reasoning, expressing emotions, text structure, grammar, and punctuation. The findings revealed that all the features are present in the suicide note, yet the researchers found that there were different tenses used in the suicide note. The results found only ellipsis in the victim’s suicide note. The data findings in this research may assist future research regarding the study of forensic stylistics, specifically in investigating suicide notes.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to discover the prevalent grammatical errors made by students in their English writing. This was done by analyzing impromptu essays written by seventh-semester students in the English language education program at the University of Muhammadiyah Sorong. The study utilized a descriptive qualitative research design. The study sample comprised 18 students in their seventh semester, recruited using purposive sampling. The research data were collected from the participants' argumentative essays, which served as the writing assessment centered around the theme, "Grades do not accurately reflect one's intelligence." The researcher employed the qualitative data analysis technique developed by Miles and Huberman. This technique involved data reduction, display, and conclusion drafting through the examination of the students' essay worksheets. According to the analyzed data, it was determined that the students frequently made grammatical errors when composing an argumentative essay. The grammatical errors can be classified into three categories: primary, secondary, and functional. The main category comprised errors in nouns, verbs, determiners, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and adjectives. The secondary group encompassed errors related to numerical representation and verb form. Next, the functional category comprised errors in both the subject and predicate. According to the findings from three kinds of research, the predominant grammatical errors committed by pupils are related to verbs.

Abstract

Curriculum revisions are nothing new in Indonesia. Three curricular revisions have occurred throughout last two decades. Finally, the post-Covid-19 emergency curriculum was changed to Independent Curriculum, which purportedly streamlines K13. Merdeka Curriculum is only one year old, of course it still requires adjustments, especially in implementation. For this reason, researchers decided to examine teachers' perceptions (as the front guard of education) regarding the Independent Curriculum which focuses on implementation in teaching English at junior high school level in Banjar Regency, including regarding obstacles in implementation. This research uses descriptive qualitative with interviews as the data collection method. The type of interview used was semi-unstructured in-depth interview with 7 English teachers in 4 Junior High Schools in different sub-districts in Banjar District which implemented Merdeka Curriculum as respondents, determined using purposive sampling method. Following the investigation, respondents acquired 9 positive and 8 negative perceptions. According to the teacher's perception, Independent Curriculum has evolved to the times with usage of digital media/internet as a learning ied, making learning resources more abundant, there are also fun projects students can do, Aside from that, this curriculum is thought to be more supportive of students by using terms like student center, positive discipline, and differentiation approach, which allows teachers to provide more opportunities for students develop themselves by understanding them personally and providing comfortable environment. The obstacles encountered are mostly related to the facilities, teacher readiness, and increasingly limited time due to large number of tasks that teachers must complete as result of this curriculum..

Abstract

This research analyzes “Wolf Gold’ group chat using a sociolingustics gender language difference by Lakoff and Coates Theory. The researchers uses a qualitative descriptive method and presented with tables. The author found out that in Lakoff’s features in women’s language include hedges, tag questions, empty adjectives, intensifiers, superpolite forms, and avoidance of strong swear words. In men’s language, based on Coates’ theory, swearing, commands, declaratives, and interruptions were observed. While women used most of Lakoff’s features, some were absent due to the chat’s context. Men mostly used swearing, but both genders showed overlap in using features from the opposite theory, highlighting inconsistencies in applying Lakoff’s and Coates’ theories across different gender. The theories of Lakoff and Coates show inconsistencies, as features of men’s language appear in women’s speech and vice versa.

Abstract

This study examines derivational and inflectional affixation in the article “How Wildfires Are Changing the Face of Mediterranean Landscapes.” Morphology, a field of linguistics, studies how words are formed and how morphemes create new meanings and grammatical structures. This study identifies and analyzes the types and patterns of affixes in the article and their role in meaning and grammar. By using qualitative methods, 53 derivational affixes and 76 inflectional affixes were found. Derivational affixes, such as prefixes (re-, un-) and suffixes (-ion, -ly), often change the word class, thus expanding the vocabulary. Inflectional affixes, such as -s, -ed and -ing, provide grammatical details without changing the core meaning of the word. Inflectional affixes appear more frequently in articles, showing their importance in grammar, while derivational affixes add depth and variety. This study highlights how affixation helps convey scientific and narrative information effectively. This research contributes to linguistic research and offers insights for writers and editors in creating clear and engaging content.

Abstract

This research looks at the morphological elements of Katy Perry's Prism album lyrics, focusing on derivational and inflectional morphemes. Morphology is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the role of morphemes in language and examines the structure, meaning, and creation of words. With 33 occurrences, the most common derivational suffix, according to the data, is -ing. -ly (8 instances), un- (4), -y (3), and -er (2) come after it. Less frequent suffixes, such -ary, -ity, and others, only occur once each. The most frequent prefix is un-, which appears six times, while in-(2) and uni-(1) are less frequent. The most frequent inflectional morphemes are plural forms and past participles, which occur 18 times each, showing how important they are in showing multiplicity and completed actions. Comparative degrees appear 6 times, and the past tense is used 7 times, further indicating the richness of grammatical forms that the album expresses. The results reveal the linguistic diversity of PRISM's song lyrics, which deliver the messages of relationships, self-determination, and living in the present through a harmony of derivational and inflectional processes. This research contributes to our understanding of how morphological elements enhance the literary works and promote vocabulary acquisition through song lyrics.
