Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of transitivity in online news texts reporting rape cases by PPDS doctors at Padjadjaran University. The analysis was conducted using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (LSF) approach, especially on the transitivity system which includes elements of process, participants, and circumstance. Data were obtained from three online news texts that were analyzed qualitatively-descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the most dominant process is the existential process, followed by the material and verbal processes, which show an emphasis on the existence of facts, the actions of the perpetrators, and the delivery of information in the text. The most frequently appearing participant element is existential, followed by actor, goal, and sayer and verbiage, which indicates that the text attempts to convey real events as well as statements from related parties. On the other hand, location circumstance is the most prominent element of information, followed by cause and manner circumstance, which underlines the importance of the context of place and background in the news. Overall, the dominance of the existential process and existential participants reflects the character of news texts that emphasize the existence of events objectively and informatively.

Abstract

The fairy tale Frau Holle by the Brothers Grimm presents a distinctive narrative structure, featuring an omniscient narrator and a strong moral message conveyed both implicitly and explicitly. This study addresses the characteristics of the narrator and the forms of modality used to construct meaning within the text. The research aims to examine the narrator's role in storytelling and to identify the types of modality it contains. A qualitative method is applied, using content analysis on relevant narrative excerpts from the fairy tale.The results indicate that the narrator is heterodiegetic and omniscient, which allows the narrative to be delivered with seeming objectivity while remaining laden with normative judgments. The dominant modalities are deontic (relating to obligation and prohibition) and epistemic (relating to certainty and possibility). These are used strategically to shape the reader's perception of characters, their actions, and the consequences they receive. Moreover, these modalities reinforce moral values such as hard work, obedience, and justice, which form the foundation of the story's ethical message. This study finds that the narrator and modality play a significant role in shaping meaning, moral evaluation, and the educational function of traditional literary texts.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of local wisdom-based art education through the character Mahar in the film Laskar Pelangi (The Rainbow Troops). Mahar, who shows a strong inclination towards art and traditional music, functions as a vital cultural symbol within the Belitung Malay community. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with an intrinsic approach to explore the implicit cultural representations. Data were gathered via key scene observation, dialogue, and visual elements. Source triangulation and limited member checking ensured data trustworthiness. Findings show that Mahar represents local wisdom primarily through the use of the rebana (traditional frame drum) and the song "Bunga Seroja". The rebana symbolizes the community’s cultural and spiritual identity and strengthens social cohesion. The Malay song "Bunga Seroja" symbolizes the fighting spirit and reinforces camaraderie. This representation asserts that local wisdom-based art education, as embodied by Mahar, offers a solution for strengthening students’ cultural identity against globalization. The study addresses a gap in previous research which focused heavily on the film’s socio-economic aspects, overlooking the local art and cultural values championed by its characters.

Abstract

Ambiguity poses a significant challenge in communication, often causing misinterpretation or confusion in message decoding. The resulting lack of clarity can obstruct effective information transfer, as recipients may derive meanings different from the speaker’s intent. This qualitative descriptive study aims to identify and analyze specific forms of lexical ambiguity and grammatical ambiguity in Indra Frimawan's comedy content on the comika.id platform. The methodology focuses on analyzing humorous discourse related to ambiguity phenomena. The semantic approach is essential, playing a crucial role in the precise understanding and proper use of language through in-depth analysis of semantic meaning. Findings indicate 19 distinct forms of lexical ambiguity and 20 forms of grammatical ambiguity. Grammatical ambiguity is further categorized into 13 instances of temporary ambiguity and 7 instances of permanent ambiguity. This suggests that Indra Frimawan’s signature humorous style, which deliberately employs ambiguous wording, is an effective and unique means of entertaining the audience. It also provides a distinctive comedic blueprint for other stand-up comedians to explore. The study contributes to the understanding of intentional linguistic ambiguity as a source of humor.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively identify and analyze the effectiveness of various learning media in improving students’ writing skills within Indonesian language instruction. The research method employed is a quantitative descriptive meta-analysis. Data sources were systematically obtained from 15 academic articles on meta-analysis of learning media and writing skills, accessed primarily through Google Scholar. All selected publications met strict criteria, including a focus on the last five years (2020–2025) and SINTA accreditation status. Data collection utilized purposive sampling, selecting articles based strictly on thematic relevance. Data analysis involved calculating percentages to identify media dominance and conducting qualitative narrative reviews to synthesize findings. The recapitulation of findings reveals that digital media is overwhelmingly the most dominant type of media used (73.33% of the total), compared to analog or traditional media (26.67%). Furthermore, studies focusing on the junior high school level are the most frequent (40%). Crucially, the overall average effect size of the learning media use across all studies is 0.88. This high value falls squarely into the large category, thereby indicating a positive and statistically significant influence on enhancing students' writing skills.

Abstract

News coverage regarding illegal online loans (Pinjaman Online or Pinjol) targeting women is a frequent topic encountered on the Instagram social media platform. This study discusses the discourse of online loans in the news coverage presented by the Instagram account @herstory.co.id. The research focuses on analyzing: (1) how Instagram @herstory.co.id presents the representation of women within the text, and (2) describing the textual strategies used to feature women in the interpretation of online loans within the media coverage. This is a qualitative study utilizing the Sara Mills Discourse Analysis method. The research subject is the social media account Instagram @herstory.co.id, and the research object is women entangled in online loans. The findings indicate that Instagram @herstory.co.id has not yet prioritized women in its news texts. The news writers at @herstory.co.id tend to position women in the text as objects, and there is a tendency for the author to position themselves from the perspective of the dominant power. The strategy for featuring women in the interpretation of online loans in @herstory.co.id's coverage is executed in three ways: character, focalization, and schemata. Overall, the Instagram social media account @herstory.co.id still largely represents the image of women in accordance with general patriarchal culture.

Abstract

Kuntulan is a traditional performing art that has developed within pesantren communities in Purwakarta, characterized by a unique combination of martial arts, traditional music, and Arabic-language sholawat (Islamic chants). This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on analyzing the sholawat lyrics in Kuntulan using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory and Stuart Hall’s representation theory to explore Islamic values. The study identifies various religious signs and the meanings of Islamic teachings in the context of local culture. The findings reveal that the lyrics convey Islamic values such as love for the Prophet, intercession, and monotheism, and also represent the religious identity of the pesantren community in a performative and emotional way. Furthermore, the analysis shows that these lyrics function as part of an oral tradition that effectively transmits values, shapes moral character, and strengthens collective spirituality in a continuous and aesthetic manner.

Abstract

Poetry learning plays an important role in developing creative skills, critical thinking abilities, and instilling cultural values and character. However, observations at MTsN 1 Blitar show that students still have difficulty writing poetry. On the other hand, learning is not yet supported by the use of teaching materials that can stimulate students to create. Therefore, this research and development aims to (1) develop teaching materials for writing poetry with the theme of local wisdom in Blitar for eighth-grade junior high school/MTs students, (2) describe the feasibility test of the teaching materials, and (3) describe the effectiveness test of the developed teaching materials. This research and development was conducted by adapting the ADDIE development model, which consists of four stages, namely analysis, design, development, and implementation. Meanwhile, data analysis was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on the validation results, the feasibility of the teaching materials reached 94%, which means that they are very feasible, while the student response was 93%, which means that they were well received. Meanwhile, the average N-Gain score was 0.80, which means that there was a high increase in learning outcomes after using these teaching materials, and the N-Gain percentage reached 80.38%, which means that the teaching materials are categorized as effective in achieving learning objectives. Thus, it can be said that these teaching materials are very feasible to implement and effective to use in teaching poetry writing in fifth grade.
