Abstract

This study investigates the discursive dynamics of Man-Machine Collaboration (MMC) in English language teaching within the framework of symbiosis theory, aiming to explore how technological integration shapes pedagogical discourse in higher education settings across Asia. As digital tools become increasingly embedded in educational practices, understanding the evolving interaction between human educators and intelligent systems becomes essential. Drawing on a quantitative research design, data were collected from 653 participants, comprising 274 teachers and 379 students at a university in Asia. A structured survey was employed to assess the impact of MMC across four key dimensions: personalization, administrative efficiency, scalability, and adaptability to diverse learning needs. Findings reveal that personalization emerged as the most significant contributor to the effectiveness of the English teaching model (β = 0.40, p < 0.001), indicating the value of tailored instructional experiences in enhancing learner engagement. All other factors—administrative efficiency, scalability, and adaptability—also demonstrated statistically significant positive effects (p < 0.001), underscoring the multifaceted benefits of integrating AI-driven tools into pedagogical practices. These results suggest that the symbiotic relationship between human educators and machine-based systems has transformed traditional educational discourse into a more responsive, inclusive, and learner-centered format. The implications of this study are particularly relevant for discourse analysts and educators interested in the intersection of technology, language teaching, and cultural responsiveness in Asian contexts. By highlighting how digital mediation influences classroom communication and knowledge construction, this research contributes to broader discussions on the application of discourse analysis in contemporary educational settings. It also supports the use of digital platforms to enhance both the cognitive and affective dimensions of language instruction. Future research should examine the long-term evolution of such collaborative models across diverse linguistic, pedagogical, and institutional landscapes in Asia, with particular attention to qualitative dimensions of teacher-student interaction and discourse development.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between online disinhibition, perceived anonymity, and cyberbullying behavior among adolescent TikTok users through a psychological and educational discourse lens. As social media becomes increasingly integrated into youth identity formation, understanding how digital environments shape speech patterns and behavioral norms is crucial. The research surveyed 297 adolescents aged 13–20 using validated psychometric scales and analyzed results via multiple linear regression. Findings reveal that both online disinhibition and anonymity significantly predict cyberbullying behavior, with anonymity (β = 0.670) exerting a stronger influence than disinhibition (β = 0.173). These results suggest that adolescents are more likely to engage in aggressive digital discourse when they feel untraceable or emotionally disconnected from their targets. TikTok’s unique algorithmic environment, pseudonym options, and asynchronous comment features reinforce this behavioral pattern. From an educational discourse perspective, these findings demonstrate that cyberbullying is not merely a behavioral outcome, but also a discursive shift where ethical communication norms erode under perceived invisibility. This study highlights the need for digital literacy programs that go beyond rule-based safety education to address the discursive realities of online interaction, emphasizing moral reasoning, identity accountability, and empathetic speech. Schools and educators should integrate reflective tasks that analyze online comment culture, encourage discourse analysis of aggressive digital speech, and cultivate a sense of online moral agency. Future research should investigate how specific language forms (e.g., sarcasm, mockery, tag-chaining) evolve in anonymous platforms and affect adolescent behavior. This research contributes to both cyberpsychology and education by providing a nuanced understanding of how digital speech patterns fueled by anonymity and disinhibition construct and normalize cyber aggression among youth

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between empathy and the bystander effect among adolescents. The increasing prevalence of passive observer behavior, particularly in emergency or distressing situations involving youth, underscores the importance of examining psychological factors such as empathy. Using a quantitative correlational design, this study collected data from 320 adolescents aged 15–21 in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Participants completed standardized Likert-scale questionnaires measuring empathy and bystander effect tendencies. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between empathy and the bystander effect. Specifically, higher levels of empathy are associated with a lower tendency to engage in passive bystander behavior. These results support theoretical perspectives that emphasize the emotional and cognitive dimensions of empathy as crucial mechanisms in promoting prosocial action. The study suggests that enhancing empathy through targeted interventions could reduce passive behaviors in emergency situations and promote greater social responsibility among adolescents. Beyond statistical findings, this study has clear implications for character education and school-based interventions. Educators can integrate empathy-building activities into the curriculum through narrative exercises, role-play, and collaborative discussions that help students articulate moral reasoning. Teachers play a vital role in reshaping discourse patterns by encouraging students to critically examine common justifications for inaction, such as “someone else will help” or “I didn’t want to stand out.” By fostering reflective language and scenario-based discussions, schools can cultivate not only emotional competence but also discursive awareness that promotes social responsibility and civic courage among youth.

Abstract

This study explores the ecological, spiritual, and agrarian values embedded in the rice mantras of the Makassar community through an ecosemiotic lens. Employing a qualitative approach, data were drawn from traditional lontarak texts, field observations, and interviews with local farmers and traditional leaders. Analysis utilized the three-dimensional ecolinguistic model by Bang and Døør, biological, sociological, and ideological, alongside Barthes' semiotic theory to interpret signs and meanings within the mantra texts. Findings reveal that these mantras are more than ritual expressions; they serve as oral educational texts that encode agrarian knowledge, cosmological beliefs, and environmental ethics. For instance, expressions like “I will use it for good and enjoyment” convey ecological intent and socio-spiritual gratitude. Meanwhile, metaphors such as “my fortune is like a mountain” construct symbols of abundance tied to divine blessing. Moreover, references to cardinal directions emphasize a cosmic understanding of agriculture as an integrated relationship among humans, nature, and the divine. Viewed through the lens of educational discourse analysis, these mantras represent indigenous eco-pedagogy transmitting values, practical wisdom, and cosmological awareness across generations. The study calls for renewed recognition of local linguistic heritage as cultural artifacts and as sources of environmental education. Future studies are encouraged to explore how agrarian discourses can be integrated into formal and non-formal education to promote ecological literacy and sustainability ethics in rural and urban contexts

Abstract

This study uses a Conversation Analysis (CA) framework with a sociopragmatic orientation to investigate how individuals construct, negotiate, and reframe social identities through pragmatic strategies in everyday conversation. Unlike previous studies, which treat identity as a background variable, this research treats it as an emergent, interactional accomplishment. Drawing on naturally occurring conversations from various contexts: peer, familial, romantic, collegial, and institutional, the current study identifies consistent patterns in using pragmatic resources, such as stance-taking, humour, mitigation, epistemic markers, and politeness strategies. The study's unique theoretical contribution lies in articulating three interrelated models: (1) Relational-Pragmatic Identity Construction (RPIC) Theory, which explains how pragmatic strategies constitute identity in context-sensitive relational terms; (2) Contextual Identity Indexicality (CII) Hypothesis, which theorises that pragmatic features act as indexicals that signal fluid, situational identities; and (3) Epistemic Identity Alignment Model (EIAM), which conceptualises identity negotiation as involving shifts in epistemic stance within asymmetrical interactions. Together, these frameworks advance the understanding of identity as a performative and context-dependent process embedded in the micro-sequential structures of conversation. The findings extend existing theories by demonstrating that pragmatic resources function not merely to manage face, but also as primary mechanisms of identity construction across relational contexts

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of impoliteness in political discourse on social media during the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach and document study, tweets discussing the three presidential candidate pairs were analyzed using Brown-Levinson and Asim Gunawan's cyber pragmatics theories. The data consists of tweets from social media X/Twitter, revealing frequent violations of both positive and negative face, with many instances of hate speech and personal attacks, particularly among netizens labeled as buzzers. The results show that regardless of the supported presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs, impolite utterances are prevalent in social media discussions. The principle of maintaining a positive face, which is the desire to be respected, and a negative face, which is the desire to act freely, are widely violated by Indonesian netizens. Instead of engaging in polite discourse to contest ideas, there are numerous instances of personal attacks, including the spread of personal data and allusions to SARA issues. The principles of kurmat, andhap asor, empan papan, and tepa selira, as part of Eastern culture, are also widely violated, leading to separatist movements and increased political polarization among the public. The study highlights the erosion of Eastern cultural politeness principles, contributing to increased political polarization. Sensitivity and irritation also occur more easily, creating opportunities for various types of hate speech. The insights gained offer a deeper understanding of the motivations behind online impoliteness and the potential for preventive measures to maintain social cohesion during democratic processes.

Abstract

Through a discourse-analytic lens, this study explores the function and distribution of imagery in the poetry collection Yang Melimpah DariCucuran Atap Peribahasa by Marhalim Zaini. While the original approach employs stylistics to describe six forms of imagery—visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, and motion—this revision interrogates how those sensory strategies encode deeper ideological, cultural, and religious messages. The poems reflect postcolonial identity, religious introspection, ecological memory, and regional cultural critique. Employing a qualitative approach that combines stylistic reading with critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2001), this study moves beyond mere description to reveal how poetic language acts as a social semiotic. The analysis considers how metaphors, diction, and sensory images structure poetic voice and worldview. Through selected poem excerpts, the study examines how imagery evokes aesthetic response and acts as a rhetorical device for resisting dominant narratives, articulating regional pride, or expressing existential despair. Findings indicate that while visual and auditory imagery dominate, their function extends to dramatizing cultural memory, ritualized belief, and socio-political commentary. The poetic discourse constructs an implicit critique of religious formalism, ecological erosion, and postcolonial disorientation, embedded within metaphorical and imagistic expression. The study recommends that literary studies engage more deeply with discourse-sensitive poetry readings, particularly in Southeast Asia, to uncover layered meanings and ideological positions. Implications are offered for literature education, emphasizing the need to teach poetry as an aesthetic product and a form of cultural discourse that engages readers’ critical awareness. Future research may explore intertextual comparisons across regional poetic traditions or conduct corpus-based discourse analysis on Malay poetic genres.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of traditional food and ritual language in the conflict resolution practices of Minangkabau communities in West Sumatra. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through participatory observation, indepth interviews, and document analysis in two Minangkabau nagari (villages). The research highlights how communal feasts, traditional speech (pasambahan), and collective cooking serve as discursive tools that reduce tension, rebuild trust, and symbolically restore social harmony. Culinary rituals, especially involving rendang and gulai, are deeply embedded with meanings that reflect societal structure, cooperation, and reconciliation. Conflict resolution is thus mediated not only through customary institutions but also through symbolic discourse prayers, proverbs, and performative speech acts during meals. By reframing food as a medium of discourse, the study reveals that dining together operates as a social narrative that transforms former adversaries into collaborative participants in peace-building. This paper contributes to discourse analysis by demonstrating how language, ritual, and material culture intersect to manage conflict in a non-coercive and culturally embedded way. The findings suggest that discourse practices surrounding food blessing formulas, inclusive metaphors, and egalitarian seating patterns play a critical role in re-categorizing social identities and diffusing intergroup hostility. As such, peace emerges not only from dialogue but from embodied, shared experiences reinforced through culturally meaningful discourse. This study invites future research on culinary discourse as a communicative strategy in post-conflict reconciliation across diverse cultures.

Abstract

Deixis, as a key pragmatic feature, plays an important role in structuring meaning, positioning the writer, and guiding the reader through academic texts. This study investigates the use and function of different deixis categories in research proposals written by students, intending to reveal their role in academic positioning and reader engagement. Adopting a pragmatic approach, five research proposals from scientific writing were purposively selected. The analysis identified five primary types of deixis—person, time, place, discourse, and social—each serving distinct rhetorical purposes. Person deixis was found to be crucial in negotiating writer–reader relationships, while time deixis organized the research narrative chronologically and signaled methodological procedures. Place deixis localized the research context, discourse deixis ensured textual cohesion, and social deixis indexed academic politeness and formality. The findings reveal that while students demonstrate basic control over deictic expressions, there is limited strategic use of deixis for building stance, engagement, and argumentation strength. This suggests a pragmatic competence gap affecting the persuasive and coherent delivery of research proposals. The study highlights the pedagogical implications of integrating pragmatics into academic writing instruction, enabling novice writers to position themselves within the academic community effectively. This research contributes to the growing body of pragmatic studies by focusing on an underexplored genre, research proposals within scientific writing. Future research is recommended to expand the dataset, include cross-linguistic comparisons, and explore multimodal deixis in digital academic submissions. This study provides valuable insights for improving research writing pedagogy and fostering advanced academic literacy skills by deepening the understanding of how deixis shapes academic discourse.

Abstract

This study analyses how news coverage of Nadiem Makarim’s public statement on the Merdeka Belajar policy in Tempo is constructed through Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional model. The objective is to reveal how ideology and power relations are communicated in this discourse. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as its methodological framework, data were collected with document analysis of a Tempo online article Bowen (2009) and examined through Fairclough’s three dimensions that include description (text analysis), interpretation (processing analysis), and explanation (social analysis). Findings show that Nadiem’s statement is represented as an urgency demanding government action that framed across all three CDA stages. At description level, lexical choices, nominalization, passivization, and transitivity foreground ideological framing and underscore governmental leadership in promoting transformative education. At interpretation level, media credibility is negotiated through the selection of news sources and a balance between subjective and objective reporting. At the explanation level, socio-cultural and political contexts, including the Minister’s self-image, ideological conflicts between progressive and conservative group, hierarchical power relation, and enduring traditional cultural values that shape and legitimize the policy discourse. Implications of this study highlight the pivotal role of language in building public trust and legitimizing transformative education reforms. This research offers valuable insights for policy makers, educators, and future CDA studies in educational contexts.
