Abstract

This article discusses Acehnese entries found in the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI). The objective of this study is to assess the contribution of the Acehnese language in the KBBI based on lexicographic aspects. This study employs a qualitative descriptive research design with lexicographic approach. All data were collected on April 20, 2024, using document analysis techniques. The results of this study conclude that there are 142 entries in the KBBI originating from the Acehnese language. Of these 142 entries, 97 or 68.31% are nouns, 32 or 22.54% are verbs, 1 or 0.70% is adverb, 8 or 5.63% are adjectives, 1 or 0.70% are phrases, and 3 or 2.11% are not classified. Acehnese entries contribute only 0.12% of the 120,551 entries in the KBBI. Acehnese entries in the KBBI consist of basic word entries, compound words, and phrases. Reviewed by form, Acehnese basic entries consist of words and compound words. In terms of meaning, there are 26 Acehnese entries with homonym numbers and 2 entries that are polysemous. This study also found the writing of combinations of vowels and consonants different from the Standard Spelling Guidelines (EYD). Acehnese entries in the KBBI include vowel combinations such as ue, ie, and ui, while consonant combinations include ph, bl, dr, kr, pl. It is hoped that the latest edition of the Standard Spelling Guidelines (EYD) will accommodate vowel and consonant combinations from the Acehnese language.

Abstract

Deteriorating air quality conditions elicited public concern, prompting the Indonesian government to implement a series of legislative measures aimed at mitigating Jakarta's air pollution. Media discourse informed both air pollution policy and the government as the predominant source. This research aims to analyze the representation of ideology in the Jakarta air pollution news corpus. The study employs a descriptive and qualitative methodology, utilizing Stibbe's ecolinguistic model. Data processing is facilitated by AntConc 4.2.4 for mapping ambivalent language forms in concordance. The analysis revealed that Jakarta's air pollution is portrayed in various ways, including activities such as public or private electric transportation, vehicle emission tests, and wearing masks, as solutions to air pollution. The utilization of rain, plants, and technology are also presented as solutions to air pollution. The representation of solutions is evidenced by seventeen data points exhibiting ambivalent aspects similar to Stibbe's model, with nine from CNN and eight from government sources.

Abstract

Near synonyms are words in a certain language that have the same concept of meaning’ but cannot be used interchangeably in all contexts of use. Corpus data could be used to help understand the differences in the use of near synonymous words. This research aims to understand the distribution patterns of the near synonymous verbs ‘talk’ and ‘speak’ in different types of discourse as well as understand the collocation patterns of the verbs ‘talk’ and ‘speak’ in each discourse to understand the differences in the use of these two synonymous words. This research is a quantitative qualitative research and uses the British National Corpus (XML Edition) as the data source and CQPWeb as the analytical instrument. The  analysis of the distribution and frequency of use of these verbs show that the verb ‘talk’ is more widely used than ‘speak’, but each verb has different grammatical form preferences in each type of discourse. In addition, the collocation pattern shows that the verb ‘talk’ plays more of a role as the main predicator, while the verb ‘speak’ is more often used as an adverbial phrase. These results prove that these two words cannot completely substitute for each other in every context. These results can also be used as a reference in teaching the use of synonymous words in learning English as a second language.

Abstract

The news media's depiction of women tends to produce various perceptions that are negative, positive, or neutral. That statement is displayed based on language and word sorting in expressing each event. This study aims to reveal the portrait of women in Republika online news media based on corpus linguistic analysis. This research data is in the form of text from Republika online news media. This research uses descriptive quantitative and qualitative approaches. News texts formatted and converted to the UTF-8 text encoding standard are then analyzed with AntConc software to reveal linguistic features. The results show the analysis of three linguistic features: word frequency, collocation, and concordance. First, the frequency of occurrence of the word significantly displays fairly common news with narrative writing that prioritizes the position of women as the subject. Secondly, collocation analysis tends to collocate with nouns representing actions, events, or states. Third, concordance analysis tends to have a positive conclusion, preserving crucial issues in reality.

Abstract

This article explores the philosophical concepts of existentialism and absurdism, focusing on the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. It begins by examining Sartre's notion of "for-itself" and "in-itself," highlighting the inherent discomfort and isolation of human existence, which resonates with Martin Heidegger's idea of "Dasein." The study delves into the fundamental aims of absurdism, which seeks to reconcile the contradictions between human will and a hostile environment. By analyzing Sartre's play No Exit, the article illustrates how absurdist theatre employs non-linear narratives to evoke feelings of disorientation and absurdity, ultimately reflecting on the quest for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. The study also critiques the absence of Grice's Cooperative Principle, particularly the Maxim of Quantity, in the dialogues of No Exit, emphasizing the complexities of communication in existential contexts. The findings underscore the interplay between existential themes and absurdist techniques, offering insights into the human condition and the perpetual struggle for purpose amidst existential despair. This article is relevant for readers interested in philosophy, theatre, and the exploration of human existence.

Abstract

This research aims to classify and explain the lexical and cultural meanings behind the naming of distinctive batik motifs from Blora. The study employs a qualitative method with data consisting of lexicons and information related to the names of Blora batik motifs, obtained through interviews with local batik artisans. Data collection was conducted through recording and note-taking techniques, followed by classification based on linguistic form and cultural background to identify naming patterns of the motifs. The analysis utilizes an anthropological linguistic approach to interpret the cultural meanings embedded in these patterns. The results of the study show that of the 14 distinctive Blora batik motifs examined, the naming of these motifs reflects cultural values, history, and harmonious relationships with nature. The lexical meanings of these motifs can be categorized into monomorphemic forms and phrasal forms that depict cultural entities and local wisdom of Blora. Meanwhile, the cultural meanings emphasize the importance of spiritual values, history, and locally inherited wisdom. Thus, Blora's distinctive batik is not merely an art form, but also embodies the cultural identity of the local community.

Abstract

This research is a descriptive qualitative study that analyzes the frequency and collocations of deadjectival nouns that have suffixes {-ity} and {-ness} in English news. The data source is 100,000 English news sentences from 2023 retrieved from Leipzig Corpora Collection. The analysis was conducted with the assistance of AntConc. The results show that the suffix {-ity} tends to produce deadjectival nouns that dominantly appear in English news, while the suffix {-ness} tends to create a variety of nouns. In addition, the deadjectival nouns with the suffix {-ity} are more diverse in collocating, with 37 collocates, while the suffix {-ness} has 28 collocates. The suffix {-ity} collocates more frequently with grammatical words, forming grammatical collocation pattern type G1 in some of its collocates. In contrast, the suffix {-ness} is likely to collocate with other nouns and form compound words. Both suffixes tend to appear in nominal phrase constructions, as shown by the high occurrence of the conjunction ‘and’ according to the likelihood in AntConc statistics. This finding indicates that in sentence construction, both suffixes {-ity} and {-ness} frequently occur in coordinative form alongside with other nouns.

Abstract

This study explores the mispronunciation of Indonesian phonemes by non-native speakers, especially content creators on TikTok, highlighting the research gap between formal language training and actual practice on social media. While previous studies have addressed second language phonology acquisition in general, few have examined the context of digital content and its practical implications. This study uses a qualitative approach with observation and analysis techniques of videos uploaded by foreign creators on TikTok. The data was collected from a sample of videos covering a variety of topics and content created by foreign speakers with various native language backgrounds. The results showed a variety of pronunciation and sound errors made by the foreign speakers in using Indonesian. These errors include the pronunciation of nasal sound /ŋ/ in term of consonant and vowels /e/ /ə/ that do not comply with Indonesian pronunciation standards. Factors that influence these pronunciation and sound errors include phonological differences between the foreign speakers' mother tongue and Indonesian, moreover there was too much generalization due to lack of understanding of Indonesian phonetic rules. By understanding the common mistakes, more effective learning strategies can be designed such as minimal pairs /e/-/ə/ and audiovisual-based interactive /ŋ/ sound spectrograms comprehension.
