Abstract

The increasing influence of globalization and modernization has intensified language shift, placing many regional and minority languages at risk of reduced use and weakened intergenerational transmission. In multilingual contexts such as Indonesia, maintaining local languages has become increasingly important for preserving cultural identity and linguistic diversity. This study aims to explore the sociolinguistic factors and language maintenance strategies supporting Madurese language maintenance at Pondok Pesantren Al-Hikam Burneh, Bangkalan. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, consisting of 10 santri (students), 1 ustadz (Islamic teachers), and 1 Head of Student Board selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that key sociolinguistic factors identified by Fishman (1991) namely family, education, religion, community, and language attitudes strengthen the use and transmission of the Madurese language. Language maintenance strategies based on Holmes (2013) include intergenerational transmission, institutional support through programs such as Perbahasaan (a structured Madurese language practice activity), community involvement through cultural performances such as Sandur (traditional ritual dance-theater) and Manten (traditional wedding and ceremonial practices), and government support through the local content curriculum. Media and technology play a relatively limited role, as official communication platforms and written announcements within the Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) predominantly employ Indonesian to ensure broader accessibility for students and parents from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The findings indicate that Pesantren creates a dynamic multilingual environment in which Madurese remains actively used in daily, educational, and cultural domains, highlighting its significant role in sustaining regional language and cultural identity amid modernizing pressures.

Abstract

The globalization of K-pop has increasingly positioned multilingual communication as a central feature of idol-fan interaction, yet bilingual practices in digital fan platforms remain underexplored. NewJeans’ Phoning podcast provides a rich site for observing such practices, where members alternate between Korean and English while addressing fellow members and a global fan audience. This study describes the forms of code-switching and code-mixing in the podcast and explores the communicative factors motivating these language choices. Drawing on Blom and Gumperz’s framework (Hudson, 1996), Muysken’s (2000) typology, and Bhatia and Ritchie’s (2004) motivational categories, the study employs a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through repeated listening, verbatim transcription, and systematic coding of bilingual tokens from a single 48-minute episode. The analysis identified 58 instances of language alternation: 14 cases of code-switching and 44 cases of code-mixing. Within code-switching, conversational shifts were most dominant (8 instances), followed by metaphorical (5) and situational (1), indicating that language alternation occurs most naturally as part of habitual bilingual interaction. Within code-mixing, insertion was the most dominant pattern (23 instances), followed by alternation (21 instances), while congruent lexicalization was entirely absent, reflecting the distinct syntactic structures of Korean and English. Motivation analysis shows that message qualification is the most recurrent factor (16 instances), followed by topic comment (13) and reiteration (8), highlighting the strategic use of bilingual resources to clarify meaning, maintain conversational flow, and engage both domestic and international audiences. Overall, the findings illustrate how K-pop idols negotiate accessibility (English) and in-group intimacy (Korean) through bilingual discourse in a digitally mediated setting. These results contribute to research on multilingualism in digital media and the role of English as a lingua franca in transnational K-pop fan communities.

Abstract

This study examines how the concept of hell is constructed as a non-physical condition through illocutionary acts and interpersonal conflict in Jean-Paul Sartre’s drama No Exit. While previous research on the play has predominantly focused on philosophical themes such as existential freedom and the absurdity of human life, the specific linguistic mechanisms—particularly how characters use language to exert power and induce suffering, have received less attention. Addressing this gap, this research highlights how verbal interaction functions as the primary instrument of torment. Using Searle’s (1976) classification of illocutionary acts (assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative), this study analyzes selected utterances from the three main characters: Garcin, Inéz, and Estelle. The analysis also considers the perlocutionary effects of each utterance to examine the dynamic discourse battles among the characters. The findings show that out of five illocutionary acts, four are actively utilized to construct this condition. Assertive acts establish fixed and inescapable judgments that trap the characters in a shared reality, while directive acts consistently fail, revealing that the characters cannot mentally or physically avoid one another. Furthermore, expressive acts expose involuntary emotions that cannot be concealed from the judgment of others, and commissive acts demonstrate that promises fail to guarantee connection or safety. The fifth act, declarative, is notably absent, emphasizing the characters' complete lack of authority to alter their environment. These acts demonstrate that hell in the play is not a place of physical torture, but a psychological state continuously produced through inescapable verbal interaction. This study contributes to the understanding of how pragmatic features of language, especially illocutionary acts, can construct social and psychological meaning within literary works.

Abstract

This study examines how spatial organization and physical boundaries function as instruments of dehumanization in John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Although spatiality has received increasing attention in literary studies, the relationship between the production of space and power in Holocaust narratives remains underexplored, particularly through the combined application of Henri Lefebvre’s and Michel Foucault’s theories. This study aims to analyze how spatial boundaries are represented in the novel and how spatial division operates as a mechanism of power, surveillance, and control over oppressed individuals. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, this research integrates Lefebvre’s theory of the Production of Space and Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power. Lefebvre’s framework explains how space is socially produced and ideologically shaped by dominant authorities, while Foucault’s perspective examines how spatial arrangements function as technologies of surveillance, discipline, and control. The findings reveal that walls, barbed-wire fences, bedroom windows, trains, and the airtight room symbolize the Nazi regime’s systematic dehumanization. From Lefebvre’s perspective, these spaces represent conceived space, where ideological planning and institutional authority sustain domination and social exclusion. From Foucault’s perspective, spatial division functions as a disciplinary mechanism through identity standardization, characterized by striped pyjamas, hierarchical surveillance, and biopower. This study contributes to literary studies by demonstrating that integrating Lefebvre’s spatial theory and Foucault’s disciplinary power provides a comprehensive framework for interpreting dehumanization in Holocaust fiction while expanding the application of spatial-power theory to the analysis of institutional control, spatial violence, and systematic oppression.

Abstract

Zi Bu Yu ‘What the Master Would not Discuss’ or ‘Censored by Confucius’ is a zhiguai ‘strange writing’ anthology compiled during the Qing (1644-1912) era, which concerns supernatural and divine phenomena, occurrences as well as flora and fauna. Zi Bu Yu also pertains to a karmic construct from an ethical-religious perspective by virtue of interconnection to Confucianism and Taoism. Although narratives collected in Zi Bu Yu defy Confucian atheism, they depict well-deserved nemeses manifesting Confucian symmetrical reciprocity. In terms of Taoism, it is embodied by recompenses recounted in Zi Bu Yu, as well as its similitude to the Confucian precept of benevolence. Furthermore, tales cumulated in Zi Bu Yu expound the rationale behind cause and effect as well as reward and punishment, by means of illuminating justifiable and ostensibly unjustifiable karma in a philosophical manner.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) within Indonesian EFL textbooks developed under the Kurikulum Merdeka. As social artifacts, textbooks function not only as language learning tools but also as carriers of ideological and social values through complex multimodal systems. This research aims to bridge the gap between pedagogical functionality of visuals or illustrations and the identity analysis of male and female disproportions and the lack of the representational patterns of GEDSI and identify the systemic factors influencing inclusivity in EFL materials. Using a qualitative descriptive design grounded in Social Semiotics, the study analyzed three digital textbooks published in 2022, triangulated with twenty-five stakeholders through focus group discussions (FGDs), including preservice teachers, practitioners, and NGO representatives. Data were processed using NVivo and interpreted through Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), specifically applying Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar. The findings reveal that while the textbooks have initiated the integration of GEDSI principles, the representation remains uneven; male and able-bodied characters still dominate visually salient and agentive roles, while disability often remains at a symbolic or "tokenistic" level. Furthermore, stakeholders highlighted a significant gap in inclusive aesthetic standards within the illustration process as a barrier to authentic representation. The study highlights a "dilution of inclusivity" as educational levels increase, suggesting that future iterations require a more intentional positioning of minority groups. These results offer both theoretical contributions to multimodal discourse studies and practical insights for textbook developers in creating more equitable and justice-oriented learning resources, such as embedding minority characters into active conversational roles and pairing inclusive visuals with empowering texts, and for teachers to create a learning atmosphere where students can be trained to critically evaluate the surface-level diversity in the textbooks that often undermine the positioning of minority groups.

Abstract

Song lyric translation in animated films must preserve narrative and emotional cues while remaining natural and readable. The objective of this study was to examine how translation techniques used in a machine-generated Indonesian version of “Remember Me” (Coco) related to translation quality. A bilingual corpus of 13 English lyric lines was compiled from LyricsTranslate and was paired with unedited Indonesian outputs produced by DeepL in September–October 2025. Each line pair was coded using Molina and Albir’s 18-technique taxonomy through investigator triangulation, and translation quality was assessed by two expert raters using Nababan and Nuraeni’s rubric for accuracy, acceptability, and readability (1–3 scale). Technique mapping showed a refrain-driven profile: established equivalence dominated (38.46%), especially for the repeated line “Remember me,” followed by modulation (23.08%) and literal translation (15.38%), with amplification, generalization, and calque occurring once each. Quality scores were generally high (mean accuracy 98.72%, acceptability 96.15%, readability 97.44%), but reductions clustered where calque-like collocations and connective-heavy modulation made the Indonesian phrasing less idiomatic and harder to process, particularly in one dense line. The findings suggested that MT lyric output could maintain meaning reliably in short repeated segments, while naturalness remained the main vulnerability in culturally and emotionally loaded lines.

Abstract

Enola Holmes 2 (2022) depicts Enola’s battles as a young detective and the harsh realities of the exploitation of the match factory workers in Victorian times. The aim of this study is to analyse the kinds of labour exploitation and class consciousness represented in the film. The current qualitative research uses script analysis with the theory of hegemony (Gramsci), repressive and ideological state apparatus (Althusser) and class consciousness (Marx and Engels). The findings indicate that exploitation takes place in three main forms: the normalisation of hazardous working conditions; the manipulation of information and propaganda by capitalist; and violence perpetrated by the state apparatus (the police), which acts as an instrument of the bourgeoisie. The oppression of this kind within the system created class consciousness among workers and resulted in collective strikes being employed as a method of political action. These strikes simultaneously challenged capitalist hegemony, altered relations of unequal production, and made workers active political agents. The research indicates film is not only for fun; it is an effective instrument for social critics.

Abstract

Although numerous studies on Circe have concentrated on feminist reinterpretation and female agency, comparatively limited attention has been given to the structural reconstruction of Odysseus' heroism itself, a gap increasingly pressing given the growing cultural prominence of mythological retellings. This study examines how heroism, as a culturally constructed concept, shifts across The Odyssey and Circe. Using Roland Barthes’ concept of the cultural code as a structuralist framework, it analyzes how Odysseus’ heroism, grounded in kleos, aretē, and timē in the Homeric epic, is reconstructed in Circe through modern ethical and psychological perspectives. While traits such as intelligence and endurance remain consistent, the ideological foundation of heroism shifts from collective honor and public glory toward moral accountability and interior consciousness, suggesting heroism is not a universal ideal but a culturally dependent construct reshaped through literary adaptation.

Abstract

Listening skills in Arabic language learning have often emphasized comprehension outcomes rather than the process through which meaning is constructed through language. A similar tendency is also seen in Arabic-language podcasts, which are generally focused on improving listening skills, even though Arabic's root-based morphological system makes the linguistic encoding of meaning particularly rich and analytically significant. The way meaning is constructed through linguistic elements in speech, therefore, still rarely receives attention. Based on those conditions, this research aims to examine how the ideational function is realized in Arabic spoken discourse through the transitivity system employed in the Easy Arabic Podcast. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics, the research analyzes 288 clauses from the Easy Arabic Podcast Episode 1 Listening transcript, focusing on process types, participants, and circumstances. The analysis identified six process types, with mental processes appearing most frequently with 92 clauses (31.94%), followed by material processes with 73 clauses (25.53%). These findings suggest that learning experiences are represented primarily through learners' cognitive engagement, complemented by concrete learning actions. Relational, verbal, behavioral, and existential processes further complement the realization of ideational meaning by configuring participants and circumstances. Accordingly, this study highlights that Arabic podcasts function not only as resources for listening practice but also as sites where ideational meanings are constructed through linguistic choices. By applying the transitivity system to Arabic digital spoken discourse, this research extends the application of Systemic Functional Linguistics beyond commonly examined written texts and formal speeches, providing insights into how learning experiences are represented through spoken Arabic.
