Abstract

This study analyzes the semantic field of culinary expressions in Dagbani, a language within the Mabia group spoken predominantly in Northern Ghana. Using Cruse’s (1990) Lexical Semantics Relation Theory as a theoretical framework, the research focuses specifically on the semantics of cook-related verbs. The study adopts a qualitative research approach by identifying and examining sixteen distinct cooking verbs in Dagbani. The findings reveal that each verb tends to collocate with specific food items, and that the choice of verb is influenced by factors such as the method of preparation, the intensity of heat applied, and the presence or absence of a heat source. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, culture, and culinary practices in Dagbani.

Abstract

This study aims (1) to analyze the translator's metacognitive and cognitive strategies during the post-editing of English-Indonesian Google Translate outputs and (2) to analyze the translator's metacognitive and cognitive strategies during the post-editing of Indonesian-English Google Translate outputs. This study was qualitative research. One person was involved in this study, and the data used were one translated Indonesian-English text and one translated English-Indonesian text. To analyze the data, several steps were taken: transcribing the video, analyzing the description, considering strategies, displaying findings, and concluding. Based on the findings, it was found that the metacognitive and cognitive strategies of English-Indonesian Google Translate outputs during post-editing include Identifying and Correcting Errors, Revising, and Rereading. Cognitive strategies, such as Elaborating Ideas, Contrasting, Summarizing, Self-Questioning, Identifying Key Ideas, Expressing Opinions, Reaffirming, Connecting Ideas, Selecting Ideas, Rewriting, and Looking for Information were also noted. Reasoning strategies were not found during the post-editing of the English-Indonesian text. For the metacognitive strategies used by the translator for Indonesian-English Google Translate outputs during post-editing, the following were identified: Identifying and Correcting Errors, Revising, and Rereading. Cognitive strategies included: Elaborating Ideas, Contrasting, Summarizing, Self-Questioning, Expressing Opinions, Reaffirming, Connecting Ideas, Selecting Ideas, Rewriting, and Looking for Information. Key ideas and strategies were not identified during the post-editing of the Indonesian-English translated text. Therefore, it can be concluded that post-editing using a translation machine like Google Translate is more accurate than others.

Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of code mixing in TikTok video content from the account @salshabilazzahraa, better known as the “Jajan Bareng Lala” account, using a sociolinguistic approach. The purpose of this study is to explore and identify the types of code mixing using Muysken's (2000) theory, namely Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalization. Additionally, it classifies their functions according to Appel & Muysken (1987), which include Referential, Expressive, Directive, Metalinguistic, Phatic, and Poetic functions. Using a qualitative research method, data was collected through transcription, classification, and analysis of selected videos. The results of the study indicate that the Insertion type is the most dominant type of code mixing. This indicates that the insertion of foreign words or phrases into the structure of the Indonesian language can be done easily without altering the grammatical structure. This strategy is considered more interesting and in line with the current communication style that is more understandable to many people. Congruent Lexicalization is the second most common type, while Alternation is only found in a limited number of cases in this study. Meanwhile, in terms of function, the referential function is the most dominant. This shows that speakers use code mixing to convey meaning more accurately, efficiently, and contextually. Additionally, the expressive function is also frequently found in this study, particularly for expressing personal opinions, emotions, and self-identity. Meanwhile, the directive function is very rarely found, and the metalinguistic, phatic, and poetic functions are not found at all, as the content in this study is descriptive rather than interactive. This study concludes that code mixing plays an important role in TikTok video content as a means of reinforcing meaning, expression, self-identity, and building closeness with viewers.

Abstract

Globally, nearly 120 million people are displaced, placing immense pressure on countries like South Africa to integrate refugees. Although the South African Constitution grants refugees’ rights similar to citizens—excluding voting and holding office—many still face severe challenges. These include integration struggles, language barriers, xenophobia, sexual abuse, and isolation. Feminist scholarship emphasizes the gendered nature of displacement, with women often assuming new roles as primary caregivers and breadwinners. This paper explores how refugee women navigate social spaces in host communities through language and literacy practices, challenging negative stereotypes that portray them as either victims or threats. An interpretative study involving 35 women, with four detailed narratives, reveals the complexities of their experiences. By examining their life stories, the study uncovers their resilience and agency. These insights offer valuable understanding of how refugee women adapt, build lives, and become active participants in their new communities despite facing significant obstacles.

Abstract

This research examines the use of illocutionary speech acts in the quarrelling scenes of the film "Ted 2," employing a pragmatic approach to analyze how characters communicate emotions and intentions during conflicts. Understanding speech acts in cinematic dialogue is crucial for comprehending character dynamics and narrative development. The research aims to identify the types and functions of illocutionary acts present in the film's argumentative exchanges. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, the study analyzes transcripts of selected quarrelling scenes, focusing on verbal interactions and contextual cues. Data analysis follows Searle's classification of illocutionary acts: assertive, directive, expressive, commissive, and declarative. Findings reveal a predominance of assertive and expressive speech acts in the analyzed scenes, reflecting characters' tendencies to state facts and express emotions during conflicts. Directive acts are also significant, indicating attempts to influence others' behavior. The study concludes that the distribution and functions of illocutionary acts in "Ted 2" contribute to the portrayal of character relationships and conflict escalation. This analysis enhances our understanding of how language functions in conveying relational conflicts within cinematic narratives, offering insights into the pragmatic aspects of film dialogue.

Abstract

This research discusses the syntactic analysis of spoken sentences in the Deddy Corbuzier Channel podcast on TikTok. The purpose of this study is to describe how sentence structures in spoken language differ from written language and to identify how they reflect Chomsky’s theory of Transformational-Generative Grammar (TGG). This study uses qualitative methods. The research data were taken from selected podcast transcripts from TikTok. To answer the research questions, the researcher applied Chomsky’s theory (1957, 1965) focusing on the relationship between deep structure and surface structure in sentence formation. The results reveal that although the deep structures of the utterances are grammatically correct, the surface structures often show spoken features such as topic fronting, lexical substitution, repetition, fillers, and clause fragmentation. These forms occur naturally in spontaneous conversation and are not considered grammatical errors. Furthermore, the analysis shows that spoken sentences tend to prioritize clarity, emphasis, and emotional expression rather than formal grammatical

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has provided new opportunities to support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing development. One AI-based tool that has gained significant attention is ChatGPT, which offers immediate feedback, idea generation, and language support throughout the writing process. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions regarding the use of ChatGPT to improve English writing skills, with particular attention to its benefits, challenges, and the strategies employed by students when using the tool. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with six undergraduate students from the English Department of Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, who had experience using ChatGPT in academic writing contexts. The interview data were analyzed thematically following Creswell’s qualitative data analysis procedures. The findings indicate that students generally perceive ChatGPT as a useful writing support tool, especially for improving grammar and tense accuracy, assisting academic sentence construction, supporting idea generation, and functioning as an independent learning resource. However, students also reported several challenges, including limitations in output quality, increased writing complexity due to repeated revisions, and the risk of psychological dependence that may affect independent writing ability. To address these challenges, students applied strategies such as paraphrasing AI-generated text, refining prompts, selecting essential ideas, and maintaining control over drafting and revision processes. In conclusion, ChatGPT can effectively support EFL writing development when used critically and strategically. Therefore, guided and balanced integration of AI tools is recommended to enhance learning while preserving students’ writing autonomy.

Abstract

   While extensive studies exist on conceptual metaphors in political discourse, a comprehensive longitudinal analysis investigating how these conceptual metaphors endure and evolve across different American presidential administrations over time is lacking. Addressing this gap, this study tracks and analyzes the usage of conceptual metaphors related to ‘war’ and ‘national security’ across different presidential administrations. Drawing on the extensive literature in the field of conceptual metaphors in political discourse, this study presents a large-scale longitudinal analysis using Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) to examine eighteen pivotal presidential speeches (1941–2021), using mixed- methods approach that consists of quantitative corpus analysis (AntConc) and qualitative metaphor identification conducted according to the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP). Findings indicate that conceptual metaphors are not static, fixed rhetorical devices employed by the political actors in reference to stable specialized target domains; they appear to be dynamic instruments of rhetoric shaped by the historical and socio-political context in which they are used. This study is predominantly characterized by two complementary trends: on the one hand, a core set of conceptual metaphorical patterns persisted across the corpus, and on the other hand their source domains and specific metaphorical vehicles have undergone significant evolutionary processes. These changes are classified as lexical evolution (updating vehicles within a stable source domain) and conceptual evolution (re-assigning the target domain to a new source domain). One central observation is that it is naturalness itself, as a phenomenon of nature, that serves as the ubiquitous source domain for both war and national security as concepts. This study contributes a nuanced longitudinal perspective to the field, illustrating how political language maintains rhetorical stability while evolving to meet contemporary realities.

Abstract

This study examines neologisms in digital resistance discourse in Instagram posts tagged #ResetIndonesia. Neologisms not only reflect linguistic innovation, but also represent critical attitudes, collective identity, and resistance to power. This study aims to identify the process of neologism formation and analyze its social and discursive functions in digital resistance. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and documentation of Instagram posts. Data analysis refers to Yule's word formation theory and Androutsopoulos' digital discourse framework. The results show 45 neologisms formed through seven morphological processes, with derivation as the dominant process, particularly through the affixation of pe-...-an, ke-...-an, and meN-. Functionally, neologisms play a role in ideological evaluation, delegitimization of power, mobilization of collective action, and construction of collective identity. This study enriches morphological studies by presenting an empirical mapping of Indonesian neologisms in the context of digital activism, as well as deepening the study of digital discourse by demonstrating the role of morphological forms as discursive strategies of resistance on social media.

Abstract

This study examines how cultural background and gender relate to argumentative coherence in English writing among Indonesian and Japanese EFL learners. Although intercultural rhetoric research has explored cross-cultural variation in argumentative structure, limited corpus-based studies have compared learners at controlled proficiency levels using a structured analytical framework. Drawing on 20 B1_2-level essays from the ICNALE corpus, this study applies the Toulmin Argument Pattern (TAP) framework to analyze the distribution of claims, data, counterclaims, and rebuttals. Argumentative quality was further assessed using an adapted coherence-level scale. The findings reveal clear cross-cultural variation: Indonesian learners produced a higher frequency of claims and supporting data, reflecting a predominantly linear argumentative structure, whereas Japanese learners more frequently incorporated counterclaims and rebuttals, resulting in more structurally complete argumentative cycles. Gender-related differences were observed in the distribution of argumentative elements; however, these patterns should be interpreted cautiously due to the exploratory sample size. Overall, the study highlights the role of culturally shaped rhetorical preferences in EFL argumentative writing and demonstrates the usefulness of TAP as a diagnostic tool for examining intercultural variation in coherence. Pedagogical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
