Abstract

Poetry appreciation learning in high schools requires teaching materials that are aesthetic, easy to read, and relevant to students' experiences. However, poetry materials used in class often do not fully consider readability, thematic proximity, and the text's potential as a means of poetry appreciation. This study aims to analyze the intrinsic elements of poetry in Usman Arrumy's Asmaraloka poetry collection, which is relevant as open material for high school poetry appreciation. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis design with a structural approach. Data collection techniques were through bibliography, reading, and recording. The research data consisted of 20 selected poems from 52 poems in Asmaraloka, selected based on theme variation, representation of physical and spiritual elements, and pedagogical relevance. Physical elements are divided into diction, imagery, concrete words, figurative language, verification, and typography, while spiritual elements consist of theme, feeling, tone, and message. The findings of the analysis show that free rhyme is very dominant and confirms that the poet prioritizes the meaning of poetry when compared to aesthetic functions. Metaphor is the most frequently found figurative language by comparing one object with another. In addition, conventional typography dominates all poems, this shows the poet's consistency in creating poetry. The results of expert validation obtained an average of 3.8 with a category suitable for use. These findings indicate that Asmaraloka is relevant as an alternative teaching material for high school poetry appreciation.

Abstract

The issue of salary increases for members of the House of Representatives often sparks public discourse involving the dynamics of politeness and impoliteness in language. This study aims to analyze compliance with and violations of the principles of politeness in the speech of House of Representatives members regarding the issue of salary increases and the wave of demonstrations in 2025. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis. Subsequently, the data were analyzed descriptively using percentage tabulations to identify dominant politeness maxim trends. Data sources were obtained from various social media platforms containing both official statements and opinions of DPR members. Data were collected through observation and note-taking of 265 speech units, which were then analyzed using the theoretical framework of politeness maxims. The research results indicate that adherence to the maxims of politeness still dominates at 61%, while violations of the maxims (impoliteness) account for 39%. The maxim most frequently adhered to is the maxim of agreement, whereas the one most frequently violated is the maxim of modesty. The findings indicate that although the majority of utterances still adhere to public communication norms, the high number of violations reflects communication resistance and a lack of pragmatic empathy among political actors toward the sociocultural conditions of society. This has the potential to trigger an escalation of conflict between the public and the government; therefore, the application of Leech’s theory must take into account the cultural context and the dynamic nature of the communicative situation.

Abstract

The escalation of the ecological crisis caused by massive extractive industrial activities necessitates the strengthening of environmental literacy through cultural media. This study aims to explore the representation of the ecological crisis and the dynamics of ecological ethics in Tere Liye’s novel Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar using Greg Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques. The results indicate that the novel reconstructs the ecological crisis based on the three primary pillars of Greg Garrard's ecocriticism, namely: pollution as structural violence, dwelling as landscape alienation, and local apocalypse as a consequence of reclamation failure. These findings reveal a dialectic in the community's ecological ethics, shifting from a passive stance to a reactive collective advocacy movement in response to environmental repression. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on contemporary popular literature that deconstructs the conflicts of the modern mining industry, while affirming the role of popular novels as effective instruments for socio-ecological critique in Indonesia.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an existential crisis that compelled individuals to rediscover spiritual and emotional foundations through the reinterpretation of love in literary works. This study examines the existential meaning of love in Joko Pinurbo's poetry collection Sepotong Hati di Angkringan, integrating two complementary theoretical frameworks: Erich Fromm's five objects of love in humanistic psychology (brotherly, maternal, erotic, self-love, and love of God) and Paul Ricoeur's three-stage hermeneutics (semantic, reflective, and ontological). This research employs a qualitative method based on library research with a hermeneutic content analysis design applied to seven purposively selected poems. At the semantic stage, the five objects of love were identified through lexical ambiguity and domestic imagery such as the clinking of a spoon, a drying sarong, and the ritual of bathing. At the reflective stage, these signs were connected to the psychological reality of isolated individuals during the pandemic, revealing love as an active response to existential alienation. At the ontological stage, love was found to operate as a way of being that transcends physical presence and temporal boundaries. The analysis demonstrates that Fromm's five objects of love do not operate in isolation but interpenetrate to form a unified existential survival mechanism. This study concludes that Jokpin's poetry functions as an existential refuge that transforms love from mere sentiment into a fundamental life force in the midst of crisis.

Abstract

Writing ability is the pinnacle of productive language skills and is also a major challenge for students. The gap in the field shows a mismatch between curriculum demands and the reality at MAN Dairi, where the interest and ability of grade X students in writing anecdotal texts are still relatively low due to the use of conventional and monotonous learning media. This study aims to develop, validate, and test the practicality and effectiveness of modified monopoly learning media as an interactive solution in improving anecdotal text writing skills. The method applied in this study is Research and Development (R&D) with a development model following the 4D stages (Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination). The main findings show that the developed monopoly media meets the criteria for being very feasible based on expert validation with an average percentage of 88.3%. The results of the practicality test also showed a positive response with a percentage of 78.78% from students (practical category) and 90% from teachers (very practical category). Furthermore, the results of the effectiveness test through N-Gain score analysis obtained an average value of 0.8081 (80.80%) which is included in the high criteria. The conclusion of this study is that the modified monopoly learning media is proven to be valid, practical, and very effective in accelerating anecdotal text writing skills and fostering active student participation in a fun way.

Abstract

The rise of podcasts as a digital communication medium has created a space for speakers to express criticism, viewpoints, and arguments through the use of assertive speech acts. This study aims to analyze the construction of criticism and argumentation through the use of assertive speech acts in the utterances of Bagus Muljadi and Ferry Irwandi in the Malaka Project podcast episode “Discussing Research, Education, and Mystical Logic with Bagus Muljadi.” This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through the technique of non-participatory listening, recording, and note-taking, while data validity is strengthened through the application of triangulation. The data were analyzed using the matching and distribution methods, supplemented by stages of reduction, presentation, and verification to ensure the accuracy of classification. The results of the study revealed 207 assertive speech acts, including 42 declarative utterances, 22 propositional utterances, 6 boastful utterances, 42 complaints, 59 expressions of opinion, and 36 reports. The research findings indicate that speakers use assertive speech acts to construct criticism of issues in education and research, while simultaneously strengthening their arguments in digital communication. The use of these six forms of assertive speech acts reflects the dynamics of digital communication, which not only serves to convey information but also functions as a means of constructing criticism and arguments in podcast-based communication spaces. The results of this study contribute to the development of pragmatic studies, particularly in understanding the function of assertive speech acts as a strategy for constructing criticism and arguments in podcast-based digital communication.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur persentase kekerabatan kognat, mengestimasi jangka waktu perpisahan (time depth), serta merekonstruksi silsilah kebahasaan (subgrouping) antara Bahasa Melayu Palembang (BMP), Bahasa Melayu Jambi (BMJ), dan Bahasa Melayu Riau Kepulauan (BMRK) melalui pendekatan linguistik historis komparatif. Menggunakan instrumen 300 kosakata dasar Swadesh-Keraf. Data lapangan diperoleh melalui metode simak dan cakap dari penutur asli berkriteria Nonmobile, Older, Rural, Males (NORMs) di wilayah periferi situs-situs bersejarah Melayu. Analisis kualitatif dioperasionalkan melalui teknik Pilah Unsur Penentu (PUP), Hubung Banding Menyamakan (HBS), dan Hubung Banding Membedakan (HBB), yang selanjutnya dikuantifikasi menggunakan formula leksikostatistik, glotokronologi Swadesh, serta kriteria pengelompokan Dyen. Hasil analisis leksikostatistik menunjukkan persentase kekerabatan kognat tertinggi terdapat pada pasangan BMJ–BMRK, sebesar 86,67% (87%), disusul pasangan BMP–BMJ sebesar 80,67% (81%), dan pasangan BMP–BMRK sebesar 78,67% (79%). Berdasarkan kriteria Dyen dengan nilai selisih sebesar 8% (10%), ketiga isolek secara sah diklasifikasikan ke dalam satu kelompok bahasa yang sama (co-grouping) dari Proto-Melayu, di mana BMJ dan BMRK membentuk sub-cabang (Proto BMJ-BMRK) terlebih dahulu sebelum menyatu dengan BMP. Rekonstruksi glotokronologis membuktikan bahwa perpisahan BMP–BMRK berlangsung paling awal pada rentang tahun 1407–1517 M, diikuti perpisahan BMP–BMJ pada rentang tahun 1467–1577 M yang selaras secara historis dengan era desentralisasi politik pasca-kemunduran Sriwijaya. Sementara itu, perpisahan BMJ–BMRK terjadi jauh lebih muda pada rentang tahun 1642–1742 M sebagai dampak dari intensnya komunikasi maritim dan jejaring politik antara Kesultanan Jambi dan Kesultanan Johor-Riau. Penelitian ini menghadirkan bukti kuantitatif empiris yang mempertegas historiografi kebahasaan dan dinamika migrasi penutur Melayu di kawasan Sumatra bagian timur dan Kepulauan Riau.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of social values in Hujan Bulan Juni, a novel by Sapardi Djoko Damono, through Thomas Lickona’s character education framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using close reading and content analysis of the novel’s narrative, dialogues, and event descriptions. The data were analyzed through the stages of identification, coding, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing based on the three components of morality: moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. The findings reveal that the cultural conflict between Javanese and Minahasan identities, religious differences, and family expectations constitute the primary factors shaping the representation of social values in the novel. Moral knowing is reflected in the protagonists’ awareness of cultural norms, religious values, and social responsibilities. Moral feeling is expressed through anxiety, inner conflict, and emotional struggles arising from the tension between personal desires and social expectations. Meanwhile, moral action is manifested in respect for elders, commitment, compassion, and efforts to sustain interpersonal relationships. These findings indicate that social values in Hujan Bulan Juni function not merely as moral messages but as a process of character formation emerging through the interaction between individuals and social structures. This study contributes to literary sociology by integrating Goldmann’s concept of world vision with Lickona’s character education framework to explain the internalization of social values in the narrative structure of Indonesian literature.
