Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study aims to explore the traditional symbols and social constructions of Gorontalo society as reflected in M. Irata’s short story Momuhuto. Employing literary sociology perspective, the data were elicited through key quotations within the text, analyzed through document analysis. The study highlights on how the short story reflects philosophical meanings behind traditional symbols and how social norms are depicted. The results indicate that Momuhuto presents meaningful symbols – such as purification rituals – emphasizing Gorontalo society’s dedication to preserving its traditions. Despite the influence of modernization, the traditional leaders play a significant role in maintaining cultural identity and social harmony. The study infers that Momuhuto not only preserves cultural heritage but also cultivates social awareness through literature. The study further suggests that literature generally assists preserve cultural identity in the face of social change. Future studies can explore how literary works from different cultures reflect the balance between modernization and tradition, presenting comparative views into how various societies navigate these obstacles while maintaining their heritage.

Abstract

This study examines how approaches affect the quality of translating the Mandarin children's narrative "对小虎的称赞" into Indonesian. This study examines how approaches affect translation quality. This study investigates how approaches affect Mandarin-to-Indonesian children's story translation quality, unlike earlier studies. This study uses qualitative research. This study found that the most common method of translating source data into the target language was literal translation. 87.70% of the data underwent literal translation, exhibiting average readability, accuracy, and acceptability. The average readability, correctness, and acceptability of semantic translation, 3.45% of total data, was good. Free translation comprised 49 cases (5.63% of total data) with worse readability, accuracy, and acceptability. We applied communicative translation to 0.92% of the data, which was readable, accurate, and acceptable. Faithful translation had 13 occurrences (1.49% of total data) of illegible, inaccurate, and poor translation. We adapted 0.57% of the data with legible, accurate, and acceptable translations. According to these data, translation method choice strongly impacts translation quality.

Abstract

Academic writing can be challenging for non-native speakers who do not have a linguistic sense of a particular language. Academic writing has a unique structure that differentiates it from other texts, i.e., it contains clauses modified to convey more compact information. This paper investigates nominalizations in English Humanities Research Articles (EHRAs) by Indonesian authors published in nationally and internationally indexed journals. Forty corpora of EHRAs become the data source of this paper. Specifically, 20 research articles were from a SINTA 2-indexed journal, and 20 were from a Scopus-indexed journal. This paper employs the Sketch Engine application to identify nominalization types these articles used when conveying ideas. A quantitative t-test was employed to determine the significance of nominalization frequency in these articles. The results show that the authors of EHRAs in SINTA-and Scopus-indexed journals used two categories of nominalizations. The t-test indicates no significant difference between the English nominalization in articles from Scopus- and SINTA-indexed journals. Despite no statistically significant difference, the density of the articles is affected by a small percentage of nominalization.  This can be attributed to a specific insight into how Indonesian authors' writing structure is no different in these indexed journals. This implies that the authors have achieved the standard proficiency of two categories of nominalization.

Abstract

WhatsApp is an option for communicating in the current era, regardless people’s background. In the world of education, for instance, both students and lecturers also use this application for teaching and learning activities. Unfortunately, not many students communicate with this media properly so the messages sent to their lecturers tend to be impolite, especially when the messages are sent in English. One indicator of this is the absence of greetings in the message. None of the previous research has discussed the specific element(s) of a message that becomes the gap of this research. This research aims to find out what greetings students usually use when sending English messages to lecturers and how important greetings are in sending a text message. This quantitative research involved 60 lecturers who teach in English Department or teach English subjects throughout Indonesia who filled out questionnaires and expressed their opinions on several English text messages sent by students. The result shows that there are several types of greetings used by students, such as "Assalamualaikum", "Hello", "Good morning/Good afternoon /Good evening", and also "Excuse me...” Furthermore, 53,3% respondents agree that greetings are one of the most important aspects in sending a message politely.

Abstract

This study examines the resilience of the Osage Nation as portrayed in Killers of the Flower Moon, focusing on cultural persistence, adaptation, and resistance. Grounded in Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony, this research explores how dominant narratives shape public perceptions of Indigenous resilience and agency. This research systematically identifies and interprets recurring themes related to resilience by employing textual analysis. While existing literature on Native American resilience primarily explores broad themes, there is a notable gap in research that investigates the specific resilience strategies of distinct Native American groups, such as the Osage Nation. The findings reveal that cultural persistence ensures the continuity of traditions and values, adaptation enables survival in a changing sociopolitical landscape, and resistance plays a vital role in asserting Indigenous agency. Nonetheless, the study also highlights potential biases in the film’s portrayal, mainly focusing on victimization rather than active political and legal resistance. The research underscores the importance of analyzing cinematic representations critically, as they influence public perceptions and historical memory. Furthermore, this study highlights the limitations of fictionalized narratives as historical sources and calls for future research on the real-world impact of Indigenous representations in media on policy and cultural advocacy.

Abstract

This study investigates the euphemism treadmill phenomenon in job termination language within Indonesian and Chinese contexts. Employing Pinker’s Euphemism Treadmill (2003) and Hofstede's cultural dimensions (2001), this study analyzes euphemistic expressions used in 3 Chinese economic news outlets (National Business Daily; China Business Network; The Economic Daily) and 3 Indonesian economic news outlets (CNBC Indonesia; Bisnis; Kontan) over 2019-2023. The data collection involved job termination keyword searches and manual screening of articles to compile a comprehensive corpus of job termination euphemisms, with native speakers reviewing and coding the data for accuracy. The analysis draws on a contrastive linguistic framework and cultural dimensions to interpret cultural factors influencing euphemism usage. Our findings reveal clear evidence of the euphemism treadmill effect in both languages, characterized by the continuous creation and replacement of euphemistic terms as they lose their mitigating power over time. Cultural values such as power distance, collectivism, and uncertainty avoidance manifest in euphemistic language practices in both languages. Results indicate that high power distance and collectivist orientations in both cultures contribute to the prevalence and evolution of job termination euphemisms. The research also explores how economic contexts, societal attitudes, and globalization influences shape the euphemism treadmill in these linguistic environments.

Abstract

This study examines the ideology in the Free Market Presidential Candidate narrative on the Mata Najwa program on Trans 7. Using Fairclough's (2013) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, this study investigates how the narrative critiques oligarchic practices and their impact on democracy in Indonesia. This study addresses three main questions: (1) How does the narrative critique oligarchy and its implications for democratic practices? (2) What linguistic and rhetorical strategies are used to convey criticism of the presidential nomination threshold? (3) How do textual discourse, discourse practices, and socio-cultural contexts shape public perceptions of political dynamics? This analysis follows Fairclough's three-dimensional CDA model: textual analysis, discourse practices, and socio-cultural practices. The research findings reveal that the narrative uses sharp diction, satire, and metaphorical language to express concerns and criticisms of the Constitutional Court, the House of Representatives (DPR), and political parties. The narrative reflects public dissatisfaction with political elites and raises concerns about the future of democracy under oligarchic influence. This research contributes to understanding how media narratives function as a critique of political reality as well as a tool to shape public perceptions of democratic practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

Globalization demands wider use of foreign languages, especially English, on brand names, even for local products. This research aimed to understand how Indonesians perceived the use of English when naming local products and whether there was a feeling of being dominated. It contributes to the study of public perception of foreign languages on brand names. The study used two online surveys to examine perceptions of the brand naming practice, including its formations, meanings, and potential purposes. The first survey aims to select the 15 most familiar brand names out of 30 data points. The second survey, consisting of seven 5-scale Likert items and two open-ended questions, aims to measure the participants' perceptions of the 15 brands. The Likert items generated a mean of 72.08%, indicating that most respondents agree with the statement in each item. The structural equation modeling result shows that English skills have a significant and positive direct impact on perception at .16 (p < .01, 1-tailed), while age shows a negative direct impact at -.27 (p < .01, 1-tailed). Education, on the other hand, has a significant indirect effect on perception (p < .05, 1-tailed) as it affects English skills at .18 (p< .01, 1-tailed). Instead of feeling dominated, the respondents felt that using English is a negotiation to employ English as a creative tool for commercial purposes without losing the sense of nationalism for not using Bahasa Indonesia in the brand names.
