Abstract

This study was designed using a descriptive qualitative method that aims to identify swear words and analyze the forms, functions, and references of swear words in the Taiwan language. Primary data in this research was gathered through in-depth interviews, while secondary data was gathered through document analysis. The researcher served as the primary instrument in this study. In addition to the researcher, another instrument was utilized: a questionnaire, which is used to select swear words from document analysis. The next instrument is an interview guide, which is utilized to answer research questions on function and reference. The data were collected from three informants, who are Taiwan tourists visiting Bali. The snowball sampling technique was used as a method of selecting informants. The research found a total of 60 swear words in Taiwanese, classified across various categories. In terms of form, swear words appearas words (23), phrases (27), and clauses (4). For the function of the function swear words, they serve to expressing emotions (24), drawing attention (3), aggression and provocation (36), and have regressive uses (16). Furthermore, the study analyzed the references underlying these swear words, identifying categories such as sex (9), excrement (15), animal names (3), mental illness (18), and personal background (7). These findings answer all research questions set previously allowing for a more in-depth knowledge of the varied nature of swear words in Taiwanese and highlighting the possibility for cross-cultural misunderstandings if not carefully considered.

Abstract

The linguistic landscape in school environments is expected to systematically integrate multilingual representation, effective syntactic construction, meaningful themes, and character education values; however, existing school signage often emphasizes language visibility without comprehensively reflecting educational and moral dimensions. This study aims to critically analyze and interpret the distribution of languages and scripts, evaluate syntactic units, examine thematic patterns, and synthesize the representation of character education values embedded in senior high school signage. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The subjects consisted of two senior high schools with 12 informants, including 2 principals, 4 teachers, and 6 students, and 258 public signs as the primary data source. Data were collected through structured observation, documentation using analysis sheets, and semi-structured interviews validated through content validity procedures. Data analysis followed the interactive model of condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing with triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that Indonesian predominates as the primary informative language, while English and Balinese script function symbolically; syntactic units are strategically selected with text and phrase forms most frequent; themes emphasize attitudes, discipline, and environmental awareness; and character values such as responsibility, social care, and discipline are most prominently represented. In conclusion, school signage functions as a strategic communicative resource that reflects language policy implementation and reinforces institutional character education priorities. The study implies that educational institutions can optimize linguistic landscapes as structured pedagogical tools to strengthen multilingual awareness and value-based school culture.

Abstract

Metaphor is broadly used in song lyrics to spread meanings artistically. In Javanese songs, implied metaphors are often used to express emotional and cultural meanings in elusive ways. This study aims to analyze the implied metaphors found in the lyrics of Pujaningsih and to identify the conceptual meanings represented through those metaphors. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method using conceptual metaphor theory as the analytical framework analysis. The data source of this study was the lyrics of Pujaningsih, obtained from the official YouTube channel of Wisnu Jaya. The data consisted of words, phrases, and expressions containing implied metaphors. The procedures of data analysis included identifying metaphorical expressions, classifying the implied metaphors, elaborating their conceptual meanings, and formulating conclusions. The findings reveal fifteen implied metaphors identified in the song lyrics. These metaphors revealed several conceptual mappings, such as love is a journey, woman is a precious jewel, and hope is light. The use of implied metaphors in Pujaningsih reflects emotional depth and cultural values in contemporary Javanese song lyrics. This study concludes that implied metaphors play an important role in conveying figurative meanings and enriching the aesthetic value of the song.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions and challenges in using Quizizz as a gamified learning tool in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. The rapid integration of digital technologies in education has encouraged teachers to explore interactive platforms that enhance student engagement and motivation. To achieve this purpose, a quantitative descriptive research design was employed involving a group of EFL students who completed a questionnaire adapted from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The instrument measured four dimensions: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The results revealed that students had overall positive perceptions toward the use of Quizizz. The facilitating conditions dimension obtained the highest mean score, indicating that students had adequate facilities and support in using the platform, while social influence scored the lowest, suggesting that intrinsic motivation played a greater role than peer or teacher encouragement. In general, Quizizz was perceived as useful, easy to use, and effective in increasing students’ motivation and participation in learning English. The study recommends that teachers integrate Quizizz as both an assessment and engagement tool to promote more interactive and enjoyable EFL learning experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of diglossia and the efforts to maintain the Balinese language in the context of the rapidly growing tourism sector in Bali. The dominance of English as the primary language of international tourism communication has created a complex sociolinguistic dynamic, shifting the functional role of the Balinese language in public and commercial spaces. This research employs a qualitative ethnographic approach, involving in-depth interviews with 30 informants consisting of tourism workers, indigenous community members, and local government officials in the Ubud, Kuta, and Sanur tourism areas. Data collection was conducted from June to December 2025. The findings reveal three main patterns: (1) a clear functional separation between Balinese as the H (High) variety and English as the superimposed H variety in tourism communication; (2) the emergence of code-switching and code-mixing as adaptive linguistic strategies; and (3) a significant weakening of intergenerational Balinese language transmission among the younger generation engaged in the tourism sector. Nevertheless, cultural and religious institutions such as the banjar and traditional ceremonies remain as resilient domains for Balinese language maintenance. This study recommends the integration of Balinese language and culture into tourism management policies as a sustainable language preservation strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of figurative language used in the object descriptions published on the official website of the Buleleng Regency Tourism Office (Visit North Bali). Figurative language plays a significant role in tourism promotion, as it enhances aesthetic appeal, fosters emotional engagement, and strengthens persuasive communication. This research employed a descriptive design using content analysis. The data were collected from 36 tourism object descriptions in the “Amazing Place” category on the website. The analysis was conducted based on Abarms and Harpham’s (2005) theory of figurative language. The findings reveal that 90 instances of figurative language were identified. The most dominant types are personification (39%) and imagery (34%), followed by hyperbole (7%), metaphor (6%), symbolism (6%), onomatopoeia (4%), idiom (3%), and simile (1%). The results indicate that figurative language significantly enhances the promotional appeal of tourism destinations by creating vivid imagery and fostering emotional connections with readers. This study highlights the importance of expressive linguistic strategies in strengthening digital tourism promotion.

Abstract

This present study examined the use of nonverbal communication in the simulation of check-in process in the hotel published on YouTube by LinguaTV. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of nonverbal communication which are shown by front office staff during the check-in process, utilizing Birdwhistell’s kinesics theory. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design with data collection through repeated observation toward the chosen video that focus on four kinesics aspects, namely facial expression, posture, gesture, and eye contact. The result of this study showed all four nonverbal communication presented in the interaction. However, the frequency level and the function was different. Facial expression and eye contact became the most dominant elements utilized consistently to deliver warm attention and professionalism, while posture, precisely standing upright and leaning forward in specific moments, mirrors readiness and engagement. Additionally, gestures are used selectively to support procedural actions such as providing guidance and handling documents. This current study also found all the non-verbal elements work in accordance as a complete communication system. Thus, it increased the clarity of the message and maintained the quality through interaction. Overall, the result of this study showed that non-verbal communication holds a crucial role in forming effective surface encounters even in a simulated digital context. This study suggested that educational video could serve as valuable resources for learning and analyzing professional communication in the hospitality field.

Abstract

Front office staffs play a crucial role in creating a first impression for guests. The use of formal Japanese, or Keigo, serves as a vital pragmatic tool. Therefore, this study is important to be conducted for analysing how politeness strategies are implemented by front office staffs to bridge the gap between hotel protocols formality and personal warmth. This study employs a qualitative method to investigate the application of Omotenashi speech acts among front office staff at a star-rated hotel in Sanur. From the 20 utterances, 7 utterances act as directive function, 1 utterance act as commissive function, 4 utterances act as expressive and directive functions, 3 utterances act as assertive/informative function, 2 utterances act as expressive function, 1 utterance act as assertive function, and 2 utterances act as expressive and assertive functions. Further, 10 utterances contained elements of omotenashi furumai, 6 utterances contained elements of omotenashi shitsurai, and 4 utterances contained elements of omotenashi shikake. This study indicates that interactions at front desk mainly utilize directive speech acts (such as requesting information, directing visitors, and providing instructions) and expressive speech acts (such as greeting and expressing gratitude). Further, Furumai element (behaviour and etiquette) appeared most frequently in the data among the three elements of Omotenashi.

Abstract

This study investigates the violation of Grice’s conversational maxims in the movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. Grounded in Grice’s Cooperative Principle, this research focuses on identifying the types of maxim violations and explaining the communicative purposes behind their use in movie dialogues. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed, with data collected from selected utterances spoken by the main characters in the movie. The data were analyzed by classifying the violations into four types of maxims: quality, quantity, relation, and manner. These violations are used by the characters to convey implicit meanings, express emotions, and develop the storyline. The results of the study indicate that three types of maxim violations were identified: violations of the maxim of quality, the maxim of quantity, and the maxim of manner. Violations of the maxim of manner were the most prevalent. These violations serve to depict emotional conflict, conceal information, manipulate other characters, and advance the plot. These findings suggest that maxim violations in film dialogue are not merely a form of communication failure, but rather a communicative strategy that serves a specific pragmatic function.
