Abstract

This research aims to describe the dominance of women in the film "Tilik The Series" through dialogue and scenes using note-taking techniques. There were 8 episodes taken as research data. Through this technique, 9 dialogues related to female domination were obtained. The analysis was carried out using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis. The research results show that in society, women occupy a position as subjects who can voice their opinions through loud speech and physical actions. This is done by the characters Bu Tejo to the parking attendant, Bu Tejo to Nopek, and Yu Ning to Pak Tejo. The actions taken by several figures encouraged village women to do the same. This shows that women have the power to influence other women. Furthermore, women who are abandoned by their husbands receive a low position and negative nicknames in society. The research findings from the film "Tilik: The Series" suggest a significant transformation in the roles and perceptions of women in society. Women are portrayed as subjects who are empowered, capable of leadership, and able to challenge traditional gender norms and stereotypes, while still respecting cultural traditions. This implies a move towards a more gender-inclusive and equitable society where women have a more significant voice and influence in both public and domestic spheres.

Abstract

Introducing accurate discourses and understanding the discourses that students encounter in their daily lives is crucial for enhancing the teaching of spoken English language. To enhance students' linguistic proficiency, the method of teaching speaking through discourse involves immersing them in authentic dialogues and diverse communication scenarios. This is a descriptive qualitative research, employing a case study approach. The participants of the research are the teachers and students of the State Islamic University of Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda and the State Islamic University of Antasari Banjarmasin. To collect data for the study, the researcher used a variety of research instruments, such as interviews, field notes, and questionnaires. This study's data analysis method adheres to the principles of qualitative research. The interactive model was used for the data analysis, which included stages for data collecting, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Research findings indicate that students have a preference for teachers who not only teach English language curriculum but also demonstrate how to achieve a successful future. For English teachers, it is important to teach students not only English-speaking materials but also proper behaviour and politeness. In terms of English language proficiency, students highlight that speaking is the primary skill in acquiring English since it demonstrates their mastery of the language.

Abstract

Possession is a serious health problem for Javanese and Muslims. This study aims to describe the perspective of Javanese and Muslims on a trance or a state of being possessed. This is qualitative research applying a linguistic anthropological approach. The subjects are the members of the Javanese and Muslim communities in Tulungagung. They are the individuals having experienced trance(s), their family, and the witnesses. Other important informants are the healers, shamans, and Islamic leaders (ustadz or kyai). Based on the analysis, it shows that trance for the Javanese is a disease inflicted by a certain spirit. It must be cured by a shaman with a series of rituals and offerings. For Muslims, it is a disturbance of the genie as the possessed disobeys God’s rules. Its healing is done through ruqyah by reciting particular verses from the Qur'an. The way Javanese treats a trance reflects their perspectives and thoughts as found in local wisdom: tamba teka lara lunga (the cure comes and the disease goes), meaning that every disease has its cure. For Muslims, a trance is simply an effect of the human relation to his God. A better quality in the relationship will result in a human’s better life. Conversely, a bad relationship to God will bring about a negative quality in human life. Trance is just one of them; it is believed to be evidence of the poor relationship a possessed has to God.

Abstract

Songs are an appreciation of literary works that have emotional communicating elements. As a result, songs may be a form of communication for singers and composers to express their feelings to listeners. One of them is the song Putri Ariani, which has several singles. The aim of the research is to describe, analyze, and interpret the psychology of the song lyrics in the single Putri Ariani. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include (1) listening to the song carefully, (2) noting the song lyrics carefully, and (3) understanding the psychological aspects of the song. Data analysis uses Schleirmacher's hermeneutical approach. The conclusion of this research is that the lyrics written in Putri Ariani's single were created from the author's feelings and experiences so lyrics emerged that were touching and accepted by the public. The lyrics he wrote move from the author's own circumstances. Apart from that, it depicts hope, sadness, disappointment, admiration, and love. The implications of the research results can be used in the development of psychological interpretation studies (Schleiermacher hermeneutics) and can be useful in the field of education. For example, when studying poetry, this song can also be played to stimulate students' imagination and provoke students' understanding.

Abstract

This article discusses the process of translating subtitles from English into Indonesian by visually impaired students. The approach used was a qualitative approach. Furthermore, this approach has two aspects of discussion, namely genetic (the translator) and objective (the translated text). First of all, the genetic aspect of this research is the translator sub-competence of visually impaired students. Furthermore, the objective aspect in this research is related to the translation process and the translations they produce. The data were collected using observation, true assignment, and recording techniques. Based on the research results, the translator’s sub-competencies include a) bilingual sub-competence; b) extralinguistic sub-competence; c) instrumental sub-competence; d) transfer sub-competence; e) strategic sub-competence; and f) psychophysiological components. To improve the quality of translation of visually impaired students, the researchers have compiled eight translation recommendations, such as translators must: pay attention to the suitability of the meaning of the source language, avoid omitting linguistic units, pay attention to word classes, and so on. Based on these recommendations, it is imperative that visually impaired students implement them in order to improve their capability as early-career translators.

Abstract

Time determines the good and bad day to start doing something in Balinese society. This study aims to analyze the sign system in the Ala Ayuning Dewasa on the Balinese Caka Calendar. Data is taken from the Balinese Caka Calendar 2023. There are two types of data in this study, namely written and oral data. Written data is in the form of animal name terms and their meanings. Oral data is a description of the relationship between signifiers and signifieds. Written data were collected through observation assisted by note-taking techniques. Researchers observed the sign system in the Ala Ayuning Dewasa on the Balinese Caka Calendar and noted it in the sheets provided. Oral data were obtained from three informants who wrestled with the Ala Ayuning Dewasa on the Balinese Caka Calendar through interviews. The results showed that (1) signifiers were formed from a combination of times called wewaran, wuku, and penanggal/pangelong, (2) there were 20 animal terms consisting of 9 forms of noun phrases, and 11 simple clauses, (3) signifiers and signifieds have a connotation relationship, (4) signifieds are complex which means that one signified can have the meaning of good das, bad day, good and bad days, even one signifier can have up to 5 meanings. This research is a sound guide for Hindus in Bali to discover the meaning of the relationship between animal signifiers and their signifieds in the Ala Ayuning Dewasa on the Balinese Caka Calendar.

Abstract

This study aims to find linguistic evidence that is able to act as legal evidence in determining the genuineness of a suicide note. The data sources were written and digital suicide notes from Indonesia. The data were collected from social media through documentation. The data collected were graphology and lingual units that indicate the linguistic features of a genuine suicide note. The units were seen from their structure, meaning, and context to determine the motivation. The data were analyzed through referential identity, orthography identity, and distributional methods from descriptive-qualitative and descriptive-quantitative approaches based on linguistic theories. The theories applied were intertextuality, meaning, linguistic features of suicide notes, the context of the situation, and generative transformation. The findings show that written and digital suicide notes, as well as posts on the victim’s social media, provide evidence that the note is genuine and written by the victim. The evidences are recursive graphology, interrelated propositions, and linguistic features of a genuine suicide note. The motivations for suicide are derived from the victim’s self-blaming, his acknowledgment of his inability to help himself from financial and mental issues, and a constant feeling of being a disappointment to people who had supported him.

Abstract

To illustrate the concept of ghosts, this research aimed to explain how they were described in Ã`ma Lóngh and Lebu’ Kulit language, the collection of Dayak Kenyah short stories. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method based on figurative language personification theory. Data analysis is conducted using corpus analysis with the AntConc application. This research concluded that there are four categories that employ personification in relation to the term 'ghost' namely the ghosts act like human, the ghosts being described as dying like humans, ghosts can transform into other forms and ghosts being described as animals. The use of personification in these stories allows readers to relate to and believe in the ghost, enhancing the drama and suspense of the story. The ghosts in this research were only described using personification. Further research might investigate ghosts through different theories to see how their appearance can contribute to certain meanings in the stories.
