Abstract

This study examines emic–epistemological politeness in social media discourse from the perspective of integrative discursive pragmatics, drawing on politeness theory and epistemic pragmatics as its theoretical framework. It argues that politeness is not merely a strategy of interpersonal mitigation, but an epistemically grounded and reflexive resource for articulating social criticism within digital public spheres. The study explores how discursive practices are strategically employed to negotiate meaning, manage face relations, and construct epistemic legitimacy in response to socio-political issues. Employing a qualitative design within an interpretative–constructivist paradigm, the study utilizes critical discourse analysis. The data consist of selected social media utterances expressing social criticism, collected through non-participatory observation and systematic digital documentation. A purposive sampling technique was applied. The analysis is guided by an integrative discursive-pragmatic framework that incorporates situational, social, cultural, and cybertextual dimensions, with particular attention to multimodality and facework. Findings indicate that emic–epistemological politeness is realized through interconnected discursive strategies. Factual–persuasive constructions foreground moral accountability in public governance, while persuasive generalizations, often grounded in the epistemic authority of public figures, intensify critiques of political integrity. Reframing strategies destabilize dominant normative discourses by reconfiguring moral and socio-political relations. In addition, implicit delegitimization operates as an indirect yet effective critical resource, while contrastive strategies expose inequalities in social recognition, particularly in gendered responses to sensitive issues.

Abstract

Before the late nineteenth century, linguistic research relied heavily on dictionaries, but by the end of the century two European scholars, G. Wenker and J. Gillieron, revolutionized linguistic methodology with two very different approaches to data collection in Europe. One hundred years later, just a few years before the founding of Masyarakat Linguistik Indonesia, two other European linguists, G. Diffloth and B. Nothofer, began their fieldwork projects in Island Southeast Asia. Their methodologies—connected yet differing in some details—have been explained in print and online sources. This essay focuses on linguistic fieldwork and research methodology based on empirical and inductive principles by reviewing the methods of Diffloth and Nothofer and comparing their approaches to those procedures used in a few recent linguistic studies of local languages in Malaysia and Indonesia.  The underlying importance of studying the social history and the geography of the language communities involved in research projects as well as the need for cooperative interaction between researchers and language informants are the only basis for credible linguistic analysis. As hundreds of regional languages in Southeast Asia are threatened with obsolescence, linguists must not only document these languages but explore modes of cooperation with communities seeking to maintain their heritage languages from generation to generation. Computer programs such as ELAN can be used not only to document endangered languages but to revitalize them as well. As linguists, we need to rethink our procedures and enhance our interactions with the language communities of these islands.

Abstract

Artikel ini menyajikan studi kasus reflektif tentang pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam penyusunan Kamus Akronim dan Singkatan oleh Laboratorium Leksikologi dan Leksikografi FIB UI (LLL FIB UI). Berbeda dari kajian yang semata-mata bersifat konseptual, tulisan ini bertumpu pada pengalaman konkret tim penyusun dalam menggunakan tiga platform AI—ChatGPT, DeepSeek, dan Gemini—selama proses pemeriksaan dan penambahan entri kamus. Temuan kami menunjukkan bahwa AI tidak sekadar mempercepat kerja leksikografi. Yang terjadi sesungguhnya lebih dari itu: AI merekonfigurasi jenis kerja yang dilakukan leksikografer, menggeser titik beratnya dari pencarian informasi secara manual menuju pengelolaan pilihan dan keputusan editorial. Setiap output AI—baik yang akurat maupun yang mengandung halusinasi—menciptakan kebutuhan seleksi, verifikasi, dan pertimbangan leksikografis baru yang tidak bisa diabaikan. Berdasarkan temuan ini, artikel mengusulkan model leksikografi hibrid empat fase yang menempatkan AI pada tahap eksplorasi awal, sementara otoritas keputusan akhir tetap berada di tangan leksikografer.

Abstract

Tanah Papua merupakan wilayah dengan keragaman bahasa tertinggi di Indonesia, yaitu sekitar 38% bahasa dari seluruh Indonesia, atau 276 bahasa dari dua rumpun utama: Papua dan Austronesia. Meskipun memiliki keragaman yang luar biasa, deskripsi sistematis dan menyeluruh tentang situasi sosiolinguistiknya dari masa ke masa masih terbatas. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan situasi sosiolinguistik di Tanah Papua dari perspektif temporal dan spasial: masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa yang akan datang. Pendekatan sosiolinguistik deskriptif digunakan dengan mengombinasikan analisis kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data bersumber dari (1) penelitian lapangan langsung di berbagai wilayah ekologi di Tanah Papua, dan (2) literatur dan penelitian terdahulu yang sudah ada tentang bahasa-bahasa di Tanah Papua. Artikel ini mendokumentasikan sejarah migrasi manusia dan kontak bahasa di masa prasejarah dan kolonial, kondisi multilingualisme dan penggunaan lingua franca masa kini, perubahan sosiodemografis akibat migrasi penduduk asli Papua dan non-Papua, serta situasi keterancaman bahasa yang dialami banyak bahasa daerah di Papua. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun multilingualisme masih menjadi ciri khas Tanah Papua, meningkatnya migrasi penduduk non-Papua mengancam pemertahanan bahasa-bahasa daerah secara serius, sehingga program dokumentasi dan revitalisasi bahasa yang berkelanjutan sangat diperlukan.

Abstract

Metatheses are found in the cognates shared by the languages derived from the same ancestral language. A previous study recapitulated the cognates shared by Indonesian – a language code derived from a standard variation of Malay – and thirty-four Malay dialects in Indonesia. Abundant cognates with metatheses were found. However, no sufficient explanatory was reported dealing with the distribution of the metatheses. This article gives the explanatory. The data used in this analysis were selected from the previous study, i.e. the phonological forms of the cognates with metatheses. The analyzed metathesized-segments involve consonants, vowels, and segment-clusters. In comparison to vowels, consonants are more involved. The discussion of the metatheses is based on the syllabification-differences between the cognates. The patterns of metatheses comprise perceptual metatheses, reciprocal metatheses, metatheses with segment-insertions, metatheses with segment-deletions, and metatheses with segment-alternations. In addition, the metathesized of segment as the result of length-alternations are also found.

Abstract

The way media represent female perpetrators can reveal the extent to which gendered norms and expectations influence news reporting in Indonesia. The way news is framed can shape public perception of female criminals. This study aims to examine how female perpetrators are represented through social actor choices in Indonesian digital crime news. It employs a Critical Discourse Analysis approach using the Social Actor Network framework introduced by van Leeuwen. The data source of this study is the digital media detikcom. The corpus consists of 20 criminal news texts published in 2025-2026. The findings of this study show that female perpetrators in Indonesian digital media are represented through the strategies of Classification, Activation, and Exclusion. The gender identity of female criminals is highly foregrounded in news texts through the use of Classification. Through Activation, criminal acts committed by women are made explicit without the use of linguistic hedging. Exclusion is used to remove actors from the text, though its impact is not severe since female perpetrators are clearly identified elsewhere in the same texts. These strategies position female criminals as deviant social actors in Indonesian crime news, as their behavior is judged against prevailing gendered norms. Theoretically, this study reveals the linguistic mechanisms underlying the representation of female perpetrators through the Social Actor Network in the context of Indonesian digital media. Accordingly, media outlets in Indonesia need to reflect on how their linguistic choices shape the gendered representation of female perpetrators.
