Abstract

This study investigates how undergraduate students construct scholarly identity and express agency in academic writing through the use of modality and lexical choices. Drawing on a discourse analysis framework, the research analyzes a corpus of undergraduate essays from an English language education program, focusing on the strategic deployment of modal verbs, adverbs, evaluative language, and hedging devices. The analysis reveals that students vary in their ability to position themselves authoritatively in the academic discourse community. High-achieving students tend to use modality to balance assertion and caution, displaying nuanced control over epistemic stance and interpersonal engagement. In contrast, lower-achieving students often rely on assertive or vague expressions that limit dialogic interaction with potential readers. Additionally, lexical choices such as abstract nouns, nominalizations, and evaluative adjectives are found to be instrumental in shaping a credible scholarly persona. These findings underscore the importance of explicit instruction in linguistic features that construct academic voice and identity. The study contributes to the growing body of research on student writing by highlighting the role of language in mediating both personal agency and disciplinary alignment in academic discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of symbolism in Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and its function in constructing the poem’s central theme. Employing a semiotic analysis grounded in Peirce’s theory of signs, the research identifies and interprets fifteen symbolic elements distributed across the poem’s four stanzas. These symbols such as “two roads,” “yellow wood,” “grassy path,” and “sigh” convey the psychological and philosophical dimensions of decision-making, uncertainty, and the retrospective construction of meaning. Findings demonstrate that Frost’s poetic imagery serves not only as aesthetic expression but also as a medium for exploring existential concerns. The study highlights how literary symbols can effectively mediate complex human experiences and offers insight into the cognitive and emotional processes behind life choices. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of symbolic narrative in poetry and encourage further semiotic research within literary studies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of solitude in Sapardi Djoko Damono's poem "Hujan di Bulan Juni" (Rain in June) through a structuralist approach.  Its theoretical contribution lies in the systematic application of structural analysis to modern Indonesian lyrical poetry, revealing how intrinsic elements—diction, imagery, figures of speech, rhyme, and typography—interact to form a complex meaning of solitude. This analysis demonstrates how Sapardi's simplicity of language yields profound symbolic meaning, offering an objective interpretive framework free from purely subjective interpretations.  Practically, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of Sapardi's work, particularly "Hujan di Bulan Juni," often considered a representation of solitude and sincerity. The relevance of the theme of solitude is examined within the Indonesian cultural context, specifically the values of inner resilience and humility that resonate strongly with the poem. This study fills a gap in structuralist studies of Sapardi's poetry and enriches the methodology of modern Indonesian literary analysis.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning implied in the short story Pantura by Danarto through semiotics approach Ferdinand de Saussure. Short stories as imaginative literary works contain messages of life conveyed through connotative language that often cannot be understood literally. In short stories Pantura, Danarto convey a variety of spiritual and social values through symbols and linguistic signs that are full of meaning. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with a case study approach to reveal the double meaning of the symbols used in the short story. Saussure's semiotic theory of sign as the result of the relationship between signifier and signified became fundamental in analysis. The results showed that the Pantura short story not only describes the flood disaster physically, but also a metaphor of a small apocalypse in life, a spiritual test, and a form of reflection on the social conditions of the community. The character “I” in the short story shows the attitude of firm faith and sincerity in accepting fate, which is inversely proportional to the attitude of modern society which tends to blame the situation when facing a disaster. Symbols such as weather, floods, rafts, and money are used to represent inner conflict, sincerity, and the wonders of God in people's lives. This research contributes to the study of literature by showing that the semiotic approach is able to reveal the depth of meaning in literary works, as well as being a reflection tool for readers to understand spiritual and human values in the current social context. Thus, this study enriches the reader's perspective in appreciating and interpreting literary works in greater depth.

Abstract

This article analyzes the poem “Sia-Sia” by Chairil Anwar through a feminist literary approach to explore the representation of women and the inequality of gender relations depicted in the poem. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques focused on close reading of the text. The primary data source is the poem “Sia-Sia”, which is interpreted using feminist theories, particularly existentialist feminism that highlights how women are marginalized within patriarchal systems. The analysis reveals that the female figure is portrayed as someone who sacrifices and gives everything, only to be rejected without clear reason, while the male figure holds the dominant role in deciding the course of the relationship. This dynamic reflects emotional dominance and unequal power relations, where the woman remains in a subordinate and powerless position. This study contributes to Indonesian literary criticism by offering a new interpretative perspective on Chairil Anwar’s work and enriching feminist literary discourse by demonstrating how literature can reflect and critique social structures that marginalize women.

Abstract

The role of culture in Indonesian society is extremely important as a manifestation of values and basic character in life, especially in the era of modernization which continues to develop without any boundaries. The cultural practices of communities in Eastern Indonesia and Lio-Ende in particular always show local characteristics in the form of traditions, expressions, customary sayings, and songs that contain meanings that represent thought patterns and even ways of life. Recent realities have become a challenge for the young generation of Lio-Ende who are already familiar with the rapid development of technology, such as information and communication technology, artificial intelligence, medical technology, and energy technology, which are characteristic of the modern era. On the other hand, this also has a significant impact on every aspect of their lives, potentially eroding local values and characteristics in the utilization of existing technology. This reality has led researchers to think it is essential to preserve and literate local values (customs and cultural values) to the younger generation through the Pero Jaji tradition. The objectives of this research are (1) To literate the younger generation about the importance of the Pero Jaji traditional agreement expression in Lio-Ende society as a manifestation of character and civilized entity. (2) To provide literacy books based on local wisdom (customs and cultural values). The method used in this research is a qualitative method conducted through direct observation, as it is based on an effort to understand and describe the intrinsic characteristics of phenomena that occur in Lio-Ende society. To achieve this, an ethnographic approach, in-depth interviews, document and cultural artifact analysis, surveys, and questionnaires are employed.

Abstract

This theoretical research analyzes the relationship between workload and the performance and mental health of health workers, with a focus on effective workload management strategies. This study examines theoretical models, such as the Job-Demands Resources Model and the Effort-Recovery Model, to understand how the workload dimensions—physical, mental, and temporal—affect the well-being and productivity of healthcare workers. This study emphasizes the importance of balanced workload distribution, adequate social support, and flexible time management to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and improve work performance. This theoretical discussion is relevant for health workers in general, but the specific implications are directed to nutrition installation staff in hospitals who often face heavy physical and mental tasks. If not managed properly, workload can reduce the efficiency and quality of services as an indirect effect of poor mental health and performance. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of implementing effective workload management strategies to support mental health and performance of healthcare workers in a stressful work environment

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal aspects related to land use rights in Takalar Regency. Land use rights are a form of right given to individuals or legal entities to utilize land that does not belong to them, with certain time and use restrictions regulated in the law. This study uses an empirical juridical approach, which combines the study of applicable laws and regulations with field data collected through interviews and observations. The results of the study show that there are several problems in the implementation of land use rights in Takalar Regency, such as the lack of public understanding of the regulations governing land use rights, as well as the overlap of land use that causes legal disputes. This study concludes that more intensive socialization from the government is needed and improvement of the supervision mechanism to avoid abuse of land use rights. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to efforts to improve the regulation and implementation of land use rights in Indonesia, especially in Takalar Regency.
