Abstract

The use of meta-discourse in academic spoken or written texts has been widely investigated. However, the existence of meta-discourse as a meaning-making in informal contexts such as gossip pages remains unaddressed. This present study investigates the frequency of word classes and the use of meta-discourse markers as the meaning-making practices in the gossip columns of Insert Live and Lambe Turah. The selection of these two online media platforms is grounded in their pragmatics and national coverage. The data collection of this research utilizes the corpus method. Data were gathered from Insert Live and Lambe Turah gossip columns.  In accordance with Hyland's theory (2005), the focus of this study is on comparing the word list frequency and functions of meta-discourse markers in the gossip columns in online media. The finding reveals that Insert Live tends to emphasize object-related elements, while Lambe Turah tends to underscore event-related aspects in gossip reporting. Besides, Insert Live tends to use meta-discourse markers in gossip columns to provide clarifications derived from informants, while Lambe Turah employs meta-discourse markers to steer readers’ opinions toward believing a particular issue by producing accusations using speculative language.

Abstract

One of a film’s characteristics is raising awareness about a particular social phenomenon. In Last Night in Soho, Director Edgar Wright (2021) constructed a phenomenon of power relations from the perspective of an aspiring singer in the 1960s. The present study aims to reveal how power relations among the main characters in Last Night in Soho are constructed. Employing a qualitative approach with textual analysis and film theory from Bordwell and Thompson (2012) and within the theoretical framework of Foucault’s (1975/2019) power relations and Noggle’s (1996) manipulation, the study found that the power relations between the main characters, Sandie and Jack, who are involved in a romantic relationship, are manifested through several power instruments, namely: manipulation, domination, and resistance. These power relations affect the physical and psychological aspects of the subject of power, even having a traumatic effect. Thus, the study reinforces Foucault’s premise that power is everywhere and circulated in any discourse, including romantic discourse. Furthermore, the study highlights the vulnerability of aspiring artists and shows how ‘authoritative’ individuals in the entertainment industry can manipulate artists’ dreams and ambitions.  By manipulating a romantic relationship, they exploit the artists' naïve determination and coerce them to engage in lowly activities under the guise of career advancement.

Abstract

Braga Street, Bandung serves as a public space with multilingual activity namely language contestation, showcasing the intersection of historical, cultural, and modern linguistic influences. This study examines the dynamics of language use on Braga Street, where Sundanese, Indonesian, and English coexist and compete in public signage, business communication, and cultural expressions. The method used is the mixed method called explanatory sequential design method with photograph data collecting method and interviews done with five shopkeepers. The result shows that English domination in sign is unbearable although the law regulates the language used in public space. English serves the purpose as a common language and a global language, supported by shopkeepers' statements using English made it easier for customers to locate their stores. As a result, Westernization has been a significant driving force behind the signs. This research highlights how language act as a tool for preserving local wisdom and embracing modernization.

Abstract

This study tries to investigate the types of metaphors found in a Batak traditional form of oral poetics called umpasa from the cognitive linguistic perspective. By implementing Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff & Johnson (1980) and Image Schema Theory by Cruse & Croft (2004), the research aims at identifying and analyzing how metaphorical expressions in umpasa reflect Bataknese cultural values such as happiness, wealth, and honor. This descriptive qualitative research has implemented an observation method with note taking technique to collect the data taken from a classical text entitled Tradisi Umpasa Suku Batak Toba dalam Upacara Pernikahan by Sitanggang (1996). The finding reveals that of the ten metaphors analyzed, they are predominantly structured as 7 structurals, and 3 ontologicals which function to conceptualize abstract cultural concepts such as family growth, life lineage, life purpose, willingness to accept teaching, social character of a person, soul (spiritual), collective social dynamics, social advancement, son and daughter. While, based on the perspective of image schema, the metaphors can be categorized as iteration, container-full, path, enablement, container-containment, unity-merging, center and center-periphery. Ultimately, the results also have demonstrated how traditional oral expressions cognitively structure and perpetuate the cultural values which offer insight into the embodied worldview of the Batak Toba people.

Abstract

This study analyzes the polysemy phenomenon of the word "花 (Huā)" in Mandarin from a cognitive semantic perspective, as well as its translation strategies into Indonesian. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design. Data collection involved identifying and extracting all occurrences of “花” from the corpus. Analysis was guided by Rosch’s Prototype Theory (1978), Fillmore’s Frame Semantics (1982), and Lakoff & Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (1980). The research finds that the word "Huā" carries various meanings, ranging from its basic sense to metaphorical and metonymic interpretations, such as beauty, consumption, hypocrisy, and specific patterns. Cognitive semantics theory is employed to explain these meaning shifts through mechanisms of metaphor and metonymy. Furthermore, translation strategies are adapted to context, taking into account cultural differences between Mandarin and Indonesian. The findings offer insights into cross-cultural translation practices and deepen the understanding of word meaning evolution within a cognitive framework.

Abstract

Honorifics are words that show respect and politeness. They are important in languages like Balinese and Japanese because they reflect the culture and social rules of the society This study aims to examine the use of honorifics in Balinese and Japanese languages, with a focus on their dynamic role in everyday communication. The research investigates how honorific expressions reflect cultural norms, social hierarchies, and interpersonal relationships in both linguistic contexts. A qualitative comparative method was employed, using data collected from native speakers through participant observation, and structured interviews. The primary sources of data include recorded conversations, cultural texts, and interviews with Balinese and Japanese speakers. Data collection techniques involved field study and discourse analysis, while the data were analyzed using sociolinguistic and pragmatic frameworks. The results showed that Balinese honorifics come from traditions like caste, age, and social status, while Japanese honorifics depend more on the situation and how people relate to each other, influenced by context and the nature of interpersonal relationships. These results highlight the role of honorifics in maintaining social harmony and expressing cultural values. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of politeness strategies across cultures and offers insights for cross-cultural communication and sociolinguistic research

Abstract

Social media play a crucial role in shaping public discourse. Studies have been conducted to examine the language of digital spaces, however data-driven analyses of how gender construct the conflict narrative are surprisingly scarce. This study aimed to explore how gendered lexical differences in Twitter/X construct the narratives of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Employing a corpus-assisted discourse analysis, the study examines 2,105 tweets posted between 7 to 13 October 2023, a critical period when the conflict escalated. After pre-processing stage, we performed sentiment analysis using RapidMiner software to divide the corpora into four subsets: pro-Israel male and female sub-corpus and pro-Palestine male and female sub-corpus. After that, we performed keyword analysis using AntConc software to generate the word list. By extracting the twenty most frequent words along with the concordance lists, we abductively clustered the words to reveal the user’s thematic narrative. The findings reveal that male user mainly frame the conflicts around security, historical legitimacy, and territorial rights. On the contrary, female users are more likely construct their narrative on humanitarian issues. This suggests that culturally gendered norms play significant role in shaping the digital discourse, with male-driven narratives reinforcing securitization and female-driven narratives amplifying humanitarian consequences of the conflict.

Abstract

Kadyatmikan, a core aspect of Balinese spiritual teachings, is a secondary modeling system that offers guidance toward spiritual balance and moksa (liberation) through practices such as self-control, meditation, and harmony with nature. This study investigates the meaning of Kadyatmikan in the Tutur Tegesing Wisik Warah text, through Yuri Lotman's (1990) cultural semiotics framework. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research identified and analyzed the symbolic elements and spiritual codes within the text. A heuristic reading method was applied to uncover surface-level meanings, such as narrative structures and linguistic features, and connotative reading to explore deeper symbolic and cultural interpretations. The analysis focused on the interaction of these elements with the Balinese cultural semiosphere. The findings highlight the symbolic relevance of teachings like Sad Ripu and Yoga (meditative practices), demonstrating their role in fostering self-realization and cultural identity. Discussion emphasizes the dual function of these teachings: preserving Balinese spiritual values and addressing contemporary challenges through cultural adaptability. The research contributes to empirical studies of cultural semiotics and conceptual explorations of traditional wisdom in modern contexts

Abstract

Greetings serve as a means of expressing the identity of a region. Adat greetings have been preserved within tribes or small community groups, stemming from ancestors' lives in each area. The Wemale and Alune tribes hold significant positions and have played a crucial role in disseminating the Maluku language. This study aims to explore adat greetings through the lens of language structure. Employing a qualitative research methodology with an ethnographic approach, the research was conducted across eight sub-districts in the Western Seram Regency (SBB). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The data were analyzed using the four phases of the Spradley Model, which encompasses descriptive, structural, and contrastive analysis, and thematic analysis to understand the nuances of language structure at both macro and micro levels. The findings revealed that the indigenous people of SBB possess at least 20 adat greetings. Eleven of these have been proposed as conventional greetings for official occasions, while six are recommended for use as conventional adat greetings during adat ceremonies or official events. These adat greetings are intended to signify a significant milestone in the renewal and sustainability of the languages of both tribes in a regenerative and sustainable manner.

Abstract

Translation of legalese archaisms considered as a bedrock on comprehending the content of deed agreement in legal documents. Since society has been so close to digitalization, they often use machine translation and artificial intelligence as a tool assisted on translation, resulting in discrepancies of the meaning and nuance contained in the archaisms of source language. Departing from this, this research aims to describe the common inclination used on the translation technique of legalese archaisms in legal documents and its implication. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data of this research are obtained from three legal documents; Power of Attorney, Deed of Termination, and Memorandum of Understanding. The data collected by using the close observation techniques. Afterwards, the data will be analyzed using the translation techniques by Molina and Albir (2002), and the translation designation theory by Lawrence Venuti (1995) to find out the common inclination on the translation results of these three variables. After conducting a thorough analysis on the translation techniques, the researchers concluded that the translation of the legalese archaisms by machine power and artificial intelligence applied foreignization as the common inclination on the translation process. On the contrary, the translation result of human expertise applied domestication as the common inclination.
