Abstract

Linguistic profile analysis was used to analyze the dialect, idiolect, register, and language variation of the defendant "DRL" in this study. This study is a forensic linguistic study using a sociolinguistic approach. This type of study is descriptive and qualitative. The research data consisted of spoken language transcripts taken from three videos uploaded by "DRL" using the listen and note method. Phonetic analysis used IPA tables and Praline software for acoustic linguistic analysis. Based on the results of the study, the defendant "DRL" showed the use of the Palembang and Betawi dialects in his speech. The defendant also exhibited idiolects such as word repetition, random syntactic repetition, and phoneme changes in certain words. The defendant’s register was identified as a YouTube content creator based on the choice of vocabulary in his speech. The defendant also appeared to use language variation in the form of code-mixing in his speech. This research can be one of the insights that can strengthen the contribution of sociolinguistics in the field of forensic linguistics by emphasizing that linguistic analysis is not only descriptive but can also be applied in law enforcement and become one of the developments in linguistic profiling methods that utilize linguistic theory to prove the speaker’s intent, attitude and identity in the courtroom.

Abstract

The fashion industry often relies on tokenism or “pity narratives” when representing persons with disabilities, which limits their potential and perpetuates marginalization. This qualitative study addresses this critical gap by analyzing the strategy of Layak Indonesia, a local fashion brand that places the empowerment of persons with disabilities at the core of its mission, thereby challenging conventional industry norms. This research contributes by offering an empirical model of authentic and holistic inclusive branding within the Southeast Asian context, moving beyond purely theoretical discussions of social justice and woke-washing. Guided by a constructivist paradigm and employing a case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the founder and talents of Layak Indonesia, complemented by observational analysis of documents and media narratives. Data analysis utilized Categorical Aggregation, as proposed by Stake, which involves the systematic collection of events to interpret and construct meaning. The findings reveal that Layak Indonesia implements a holistic and structural strategy by prioritizing persons with disabilities as operational staff and creative partners, while explicitly rejecting the inspiration porn narrative. This approach effectively reframes disability identity in the public sphere, transforming individuals from objects of sympathy into professional, creative, and empowered subjects. As a result, the strategy contributes to increased self-confidence and expanded career opportunities for persons with disabilities. However, the study also identifies a significant “say–do gap” among consumers, wherein high levels of brand awareness and moral support do not consistently translate into purchasing behavior, largely due to price sensitivity and competition related to product quality. In conclusion, Layak Indonesia’s model provides a robust framework for authentic brand activism. Nevertheless, its long-term sustainability depends on the ability to balance strong social values with competitive business strategies within the highly demanding fashion market.

Abstract

Increasing numbers of undocumented Indonesian migrant children in Malaysia face limited access to formal schooling and must navigate multilingual, multicultural environments that shape their learning experiences. While previous studies focus on legal and administrative barriers, the role of cross-cultural communication in non-formal education remains understudied. This research examines how communication practices support inclusive education at the AMI Penang Guidance Center. The study aims to explore how migrant children manage linguistic and cultural differences in daily learning and how educators adapt their communication to meet diverse needs. Using an ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with six children (ages 9–11) and educators at the center. Analysis followed thematic coding and was interpreted using Hurn and Tomalin’s cross-cultural communication and STAR (Stop, Think, Assess, Respond) frameworks. Findings show that children frequently experience confusion, hesitation, and identity negotiation when switching between Indonesian, Malay, and their mother tongues. Educators interpret these behaviors through cultural rather than purely linguistic lenses and respond with bilingual scaffolding, culturally familiar materials, emotional support, and flexible teaching strategies. These practices enhance students’ confidence, communication skills, and sense of belonging. The study contributes theoretically by positioning cross-cultural communication as a core dimension of inclusive education in transnational settings. Practically, it offers insights for designing culturally responsive non-formal education for undocumented migrant children.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how exposure to information about beauty on Instagram influences the identity transformation of female students at private universities in Yogyakarta. 's discussion focuses on three main aspects,namely: the process of forming a digital identity that is carried out selectively and aesthetically; the role of social validation in shaping self-confidence and self-assessment; and the discrepancy between digital identity and real identity that causes psychological pressure. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collectio techniques through online open questionnaires to ten informants who actively use Instagram and are exposed to beauty content. The analysis was conducted using Goffman's dramaturgy theory, Uses and Gratifications (U&G), and Social Identity Theory (SIT) to understand performative identity practices, social gratification needs, and social comparison processes in the digital space. The results show that female students construct digital identities as ideal images in an effort to gain positive impressions from their audience, but this creates a gap between their online representation and their authentic selves. The study confirms that Instagram functions as a complex space for identity negotiation and highlights the importance of digital literacy and reflective awareness in the use of social media among students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse how the Indonesian and Malaysian state-owned national media frame the Indonesia–Malaysia football rivalry and how this framing contributes to the construction of competitive nationalism. The object of this study is the Indonesian–Malaysian football news published by Antara News (Indonesia) and Bernama (Malaysia) from 2019 to May 2025. This study uses a qualitative method with Robert M. Entman's framing model analysis approach, which includes four elements, namely defining problems, diagnosing causes, moral judgement, and treatment recommendations. The research data consists of a corpus of online news related to football matches and conflicts between supporters related to the Indonesia-Malaysia rivalry. Data analysis was conducted through systematic coding using NVivo 14 software to identify dominant framing patterns. The results show that both media outlets predominantly emphasised the elements of defining problems and diagnosing causes, framing football rivalry as a competitive dynamic fraught with conflict. Antara News tended to diagnose the causes of conflict by highlighting the actions of the opposing party, while Bernama placed more emphasis on technical factors of the match and the emotional responses of supporters. The element of moral judgement was used to legitimise the national position of each country, as well as to provide recommendations for dealing with reactive conflicts. This study contributes to media studies, particularly framing, by highlighting comparisons between the national media of Indonesia and Malaysia in their coverage of Indonesian-Malaysian football rivalry. This study emphasises the need for balanced journalistic practices oriented towards conflict management in cross-border sports coverage and the adoption of approaches to prevent conflict escalation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the persuasive communication strategies used in TikTok content created by @taniaanglt and to understand how Generation Z audiences process such messages through the central and peripheral routes of the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Employing a descriptive qualitative design, this research integrates content observation, comment documentation, and in-depth interviews with five informants aged 18–24 years. Data were collected from five selected TikTok videos, public audience comments, and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that visual aesthetics such as pastel color tones, soft lighting, calming music, and slow-paced editing serve as emotional triggers that activate the peripheral route. Once initial emotional engagement is established, reflective narrative statements encourage deeper cognitive elaboration, leading audiences into the central route. The creator’s authenticity further strengthens message credibility and enhances persuasive effectiveness. The study also demonstrates that the interplay between emotional and cognitive pathways fosters productive behavioral changes among Generation Z audiences, including organizing study spaces, adopting realistic daily routines, and embracing balanced productivity practices. Overall, this research confirms that persuasion on short-video platforms works through a synergistic combination of affective and rational processing. It contributes theoretically to expanding the application of ELM in digital media contexts and offers prospects for future studies on persuasive patterns within Generation Z’s online culture.
