Abstract

This article will generally examine the naming convention of small objects lexemes (ism tagīr) in the Al-Munawwir Arabic-Indonesian dictionary. The approach used in this study is a linguistic approach, especially closely related to morphosemantics. In this case, the morphosemantic study involves the study of the structure and meaning of the lexeme in relation to small objects or what is commonly referred to in Arabic as ism taṣgīr. The research method consists of three important stages, such as: (1) the data collection and analysis using the observation method of linguistic units in the form of "words" in the al-Munawwir dictionary, (2) the data analysis used distributional methods in the form of techniques for direct elements and contrasting techniques, and (3) reports on results related to the rules for naming small objects in Arabic. The results of this study are expected to provide new insights on the relationship between morphological word formation in Arabic and naming rules in Semantic studies.

Abstract

A complement is a complementary form in a sentence which holds a function and role as an adverb (adverb function). This study was designed with a qualitative descriptive research model. The data collection method uses the observation method with note-taking technique. Researchers recorded examples of sentences containing complements. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out using distributional method (agih method), in which the researcher examined aspects of language without paying attention to the context of its use. The technique used in data analysis is Bagi Unsur Langsung (BUL) or ‘Immediate Constituent Analysis’ technique by paying attention to the lingual element which is the complement category in Arabic. Furthermore, the researcher used markah (bookmark) reading technique to determine the constituents of complementary fillers in Arabic. The results showed that in Al-Jurumiyyah book there was a complete discussion of the complement structure, namely genetic complement, accusative complement, and dependent complement. Accusative complement includes maf’ûl-muthlaq, maf’ûl li ajlih atau maf’ûl lahu, maf’ûl fîh, maf’ûl ma’ah, a’t-tamyîz, al-châl, al-ististnâ’. Genitive complement in Arabic is represented by a word that is preceded by charf jar particle preposition or in idhâfah form.

Abstract

As a movement which is related to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Tarbiyah movement carries Islamist agendas which indirectly influence the concept of masculinity adopted by its activists. This research examines the concept of masculinity adopted by campus da'wah activists affiliated with the Tarbiyah movement in the city of Yogyakarta and Surakarta. The research subjects were campus da'wah activists at Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta and Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. The results showed that the concept of masculinity adopted by Tarbiyah da'wah activists experienced a shift in purpose. Now the concept of masculinity is constructed not to support the jihad agenda, but to form an Islamic society that has a good standard of living such as being healthy, strong, intelligent, prosperous, and able to carry out its role properly as an individual, family member, community and nation.

Abstract

Carnivalesque or carnival behavior is a concept coined by Mikhail Bakhtin about the suspension of all forms of social rules and hierarchies in literature. This is reflected in an Egyptian short story Asy-Syahiid written by Taufiq al-Chakim (1898-1987). The short story tells of a demonic character who wants to repent of his attitudes known as a human tempter. The satanic narrative described as contradicting the understanding of divine religion shows that al-Hakim tries to present the carnivalesque aspect in his work. This study will analyze the carnivalesque elements in the short story and the ideology behind the carnivalesque depictions. The method used is descriptive analysis method, namely by first describing the carnivalesque elements in the short story, then analyzing the ideology behind the depiction of these elements. The results showed that the short story Asy-Syahiid represented carnivalesque elements, such as profanation, comical elements, and multiplicity of tones. The ideology shown by the short story is a form of al-Hakim's criticism of humanity categorized by the devil's repentant narrative.
