Abstract

Metaphorical language innovation, which originates from thought processes and interactions between fellow language speakers and with the natural surroundings, leads to various configurations of lingual forms. Therefore, this study investigated the linguistic innovations to create metaphorical expression, its role in decorating text, and the effect of globalization on metaphor in daily life. The data for this study were metaphorical languages in daily life, social and online media. This research applied a qualitative approach and the concept and theory of metaphor. The data were collected using participant and non-participatory observation methods. The data were analyzed using the Intra-Lingual Referential Method and the Extra-Lingual Referential Method or the Distributional and Referential Method, using the techniques of relating and comparing the elements of language related to metaphor as the research object. The results of data analysis showed that the analogy of target and source domain gives rise to simple and complex metaphors. Metaphors have an essential role in building the beauty of a text. Metaphors decorate a text and stimulate the reader's imagination when reading literary works. Besides, globalization distributes, enriches, and colors the metaphors in a language

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the ideology in King Salman's political speeches at the United Nations General Assembly. A critical qualitative design was applied in analyzing two of King Salman's speeches in 2020 and 2021. In line with the research objectives, the ideological square is used as the theoretical framework for data analysis. The results of microanalysis show that King Salman uses the basic strategy of emphasizing positive things about 'us' in 129 data (58.6%), emphasizing negative things about 'them' in 60 data (27.3%), and de-emphasizing positive things about 'them' in 31 data (14.1%). As for de-emphasizing negative things about ‘us’ not found in the data source. In the microanalysis dimension, among the rhetorical discursive strategies found were actor description in 77 data (35.0%), consensus in 16 data (7.3%), comparison in 6 data (2.7%), values expression in 76 data (34.5%), victimization-criminalization in 30 data (13.6%), and national self-glorification in 15 data (16.9%). Based on this analysis, the general ideologies found in King Salman's speech are nationalism and anti-imperialism. King Salman constructed Saudi Arabia's national identity in international eyes as a philanthropist, humanitarian, peace initiator, and non-violence country. These identities are then represented as the trademark of Saudi Arabia's foreign policy.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the cultural complexity between Manggarai students and Java students in Malang city, Indonesia.  There are misunderstandings due to the meeting of two different cultures. The research purpose is to find out the adaptation problems of Manggarai students in Malang city. The research method is qualitative with an ethnographic approach, namely emic. The data collection techniques are observation, interview and documentation. The analysis technique uses interpretation with a cultural paradigm. The results showed that the cultural problem of adaptation in the ethnographic point of view is the difficulty of adapting between students from Manggarai (migrants) and students from Java (host culture). The main reason for the difficulty in adapting starts from the language, the situation of feeling like a foreigner so that they feel culture shock with the new culture. Consequences of adaptation problems: limited communication between the two parties, the problem of occurring situations that are not familiar and easily offended due to misunderstanding and suspicion in the use of language. Ethnographic analysis helps adaptation problems through cultural trajectories from the immigrant side by being humble to learn conversations in everyday Javanese. The trajectory is carried out communally with initiatives from regional organizations (Lembor Malang Big Family Association or IKBLM) to build meeting points and familiarity with Javanese students. Research recommendations, different cultures can be crossed with cultural ideas and actions to accept differences starting from migrants and facilitated by decision-making parties.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the analysis of mass media coverage sentiment about the division of a new province in Papua. Using qualitative analysis with Q-DAS software, namely Nvivo 12Plus, this research collects data from online news and previous research related to the expansion of the Papua Province. The results show that there are pro and contra sentiments, where activists and citizens are more critical of it and reject it, while the government is more supportive of it. This analysis also uncovers various narratives in the media that highlight the potential benefits of regional expansion, such as development, better public services, and preserving local culture. However, there are also concerns about financial and economic inefficiencies and a lack of representation of indigenous people's voices. Relations between the different actors are complex, with decentralization principles governing interactions between the central government and the newly created local governments. This research emphasizes the need for a thorough evaluation, considering social, economic, political, and cultural impacts, and involving all relevant stakeholders in the decision-making process.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the self-representation of sensuous female influencers in Indonesia, specifically a 20-year-old female Javanese influencer who lives in Surakarta, on Instagram, and how the influencer publicly presents herself in front of the audience. Relying on Goffman’s Dramaturgical approach, this study provides thorough insights into the frontstage and backstage behavior of the sensuous female influencer and the representation of the influencer on the frontstage. Employing Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic triadic model (1931), the data obtained from Instagram were analyzed by understanding the representamen, the interpretant, and the object of the data. Then, to gain a more detailed understanding, the data collected from in-depth interviews were also scrutinized. This study shows that there is an act of rebellion of being against society's norms of modesty as the influencer constantly acts in a sexualized manner in public and daily activity. While previous studies mostly examine the phenomenon of the sexualized manner of women in hyper-sexualized cultures/Western cultures, this study provides an understanding of the sexualized manner of a sensuous Javanese female influencer in the area where people do not find self-sexualization behavior as common or prevalent.

Abstract

The Practice of Pemotongan dan/atau Pelukaan Genitalia Perempuan (P2GP) or Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) remains a serious problem in Indonesia because it is rooted in traditions, religious views, and cultural constructs that have been passed down through generations. The urgency of addressing this topic lies in the medical and social impacts that harm women, as well as the debate over terminology that influences public perception of the practice. This research data was obtained from the Instagram account @puan_amalhayati, which consistently campaigns against FGM/C using alternative terms to replace the term "sunat perempuan." The research focused on analyzing the content of posts, choice of terms, narratives, and netizen responses in the comments section. The method employed was content analysis, utilizing a descriptive-qualitative approach. As an analytical tool, this research refers to anthropolinguistic theory by emphasizing three main indicators: context, language ideology, and indexicality. This theory allows for the disclosure of how language becomes a means of communication as well as an instrument for shaping meaning, identity, and power relations. The research findings indicate that the use of the term P2GP is a linguistic strategy that serves to reposition the meaning of this practice from the realm of religious tradition to the realm of violations against human rights. The narrative constructed by Puan Amal Hayati emphasizes medical, gender, and progressive religious aspects to challenge the legitimacy of tradition. Meanwhile, netizen responses demonstrate an ideological contestation between references to the Kitab Kuning and arguments based on medical and human rights grounds.

Abstract

The current study examines the ideology constructed by Al-Jazeera and CNN Arabic media on the issue of Indonesia's rejection of Israel at the U-20 World Cup 2023. The purpose of this research is to provide critical information and facts so that people can filter the news of Israel's rejection in Indonesia wisely. This research data is linguistic units in the Arabic mass media Al-Jazeera and CNN Arabic on March 30, 2023. Data was collected using the listening method, followed by tapping and recording techniques. The data were analyzed using the Padan method, which refers to Theo Van Leeuwen's critical discourse analysis (CDA). The results showed that Al-Jazeera media, through exclusion and inclusion, constructed public ideology not to justify Indonesia with negative representations. It was influenced by the ideology of Al-Jazeera's affiliate, Qatar, which has historically been religious and politically opposed to Israel. CNN Arabic strategizes language to construct public ideology through inclusion so that Indonesia is seen as a perpetrator of the rejection of Israel in a hostile, unprofessional, and anti-national manner. This was influenced because CNN Arabic is affiliated with America, which is a close friend of Israel in mutual economic and political relations.

Abstract

The study investigates the bilingual warning signs found along Kuta and Legian beaches in Bali, Indonesia. It is within the framework of linguistic landscape (LL) analysis. The study aims to examine language policy—specifically the mandatory use of Indonesian language in public sign—interacts with the communicative needs of a globally diverse tourist population. Employing a qualitative research design, the study analyzed 33 bilingual signs through documentation and content analysis. It focuses on language positioning, institutional authorship, and semiotic features. Drawing on the theories of emplacement and indexicality by Scollon and Scollon (2003), the findings reveal a varied landscape. While some signs comply with national regulations by prioritizing Indonesian language, others, particularly those by private entities or tourism-sensitive authorities, prioritize English to accommodate international audiences. The study highlights the pragmatic tension between top-down language policies and bottom-up communicative practices in multilingual public spaces. It further illustrates that the visibility and hierarchy of languages on sign are influenced not only by legal frameworks, but also by spatial function and sociolinguistic context. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions in sociolinguistics, language policy, and semiotics. It shows bilingual public sign that serves as a site of negotiation between national identity and global communicability in tourism-driven environments.
