Abstract

Political speech plays a crucial role in shaping public perception, influencing emotions, and constructing ideological narratives. This study employs a scientometric approach to analyze research trends on figurative language in political discourse over the past decade (2014–2024). Using bibliometric data from the Scopus database, we examined 870 journal articles to identify key themes, publication trends, and dominant research clusters. Findings indicate significant growth in the field, particularly from 2018 onward, reflecting increased scholarly interest in political rhetoric. Social Media and Society, Cogent Arts & Humanities, and Theory and Practice in Language Studies emerged as leading publication venues. Thematic analysis revealed four major research clusters: (1) Language and Rhetoric, focusing on metaphor, framing, and discourse strategies; (2) Politician Identity, covering leadership, charisma, and political messaging; (3) Political Discourse, highlighting ideology, persuasion, and propaganda; and (4) Political Events, examining how figurative language is used during elections, crises, and debates. While this study provides a macro-level overview of research on figurative language in politics, it also highlights gaps in qualitative analysis. Future research should integrate rhetorical criticism with scientometric approaches to provide deeper insights into how figurative language influences political engagement. Additionally, expanding the dataset to include diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives would enhance the understanding of global rhetorical strategies. By mapping this field, the study contributes to a more comprehensive knowledge of how language and power interact in political communication.

Abstract

This study explores how international students perceive Indonesian culture while participating in the Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) program at Padang State University. Framed within Cross-Cultural Understanding (CCU), the study investigates how students’ cultural backgrounds, prior experiences, and exposure to cultural content in language teaching shape their engagement and motivation. Using a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings show that most students positively perceive Indonesian culture, particularly appreciating traditions, hospitality, and food. However, challenges arise with abstract cultural values, such as indirect communication, hierarchical relationships, and concepts of politeness, which sometimes contrast with students' native cultural norms. Students from Southeast Asian countries reported smoother cultural adjustment than those from Western countries. Furthermore, students favored experiential learning—such as field trips, cooking classes, and cultural performances—over theoretical cultural instruction. These insights reinforce the importance of integrating cultural content into language instruction but also highlight the need for culturally responsive pedagogy that considers learners’ diverse cultural frameworks. The study suggests incorporating CCU models (e.g., Byram's ICC Bennett's DMIS) to support intercultural reflection, identity development, and deeper engagement. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts of cultural learning and implement structured tools to evaluate intercultural competence development.

Abstract

This study examines the presence of argumentative inaccuracies in the 2023–2024 Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential debates through the lens of cognitive linguistics and contextual pragmatics. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were drawn from transcripts of five debate rounds and analyzed using Toulmin's model of fallacies combined with situational context theory. The research identifies five dominant fallacies: evading the issue, argument from ignorance, appeal to authority, ad hominem attacks, and hasty generalizations. Each fallacy is interpreted within its political and situational context—revealing how historical references, ethical deflections, appeals to seniority, lack of mastery, and satire are strategically employed. The findings offer insight into how these inaccuracies diminish the integrity of public political discourse and obscure substantive discussion of policies. Furthermore, the study underscores the critical role of context in shaping the interpretation and reception of political arguments. It contributes to the growing body of work on cognitive-pragmatic approaches in political linguistics, and emphasizes the need for educational efforts to cultivate critical thinking and argumentative literacy among citizens and students alike. This research also suggests practical implications for debate organizers, moderators, and media analysts—calling for clearer standards to reduce manipulative rhetoric in public forums. Future studies are encouraged to apply computational methods to expand this work or examine comparative debate formats across cultures.

Abstract

In the contemporary digital era, political participation is increasingly mediated through online spaces, situating social media platforms as pivotal arenas for civic discourse and democratic contestation. This study investigates how Indonesian citizens engage with political issues through the hashtag #KawalPutusanMK on X, in response to decisions by the Constitutional Court. Employing a mixed-methods design, this study integrates computational sentiment analysis with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach to analyze 3,508 user-generated posts collected between August and September 2024. Focusing on the textual (micro) level, this study examines lexical choices, emotional polarities, and metaphorical constructions that reflect public sentiment and their ideological stance. Findings show a predominance of negatively charged discourse, particularly targeting political elites and institutions. Users frequently employ emotionally loaded vocabulary and metaphors such as portraying democracy as a dying body, politics as theater, political elites as immoral rulers, and resistance as sacred duty serve to further delegitimize institutional authority. These linguistic features signal a broader erosion of public trust and dissatisfaction with institutional legitimacy. Additionally, the discourse constructs collective identity and mobilizes resistance, illustrating how online platforms function as tools for political engagement and symbolic struggle. By uncovering the rhetorical and affective strategies in digital protest, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language mediates public criticism and democratic participation in contemporary Indonesia. The findings have implications for media regulation, digital civic literacy, and policy development in a post-authoritarian context. Future research should focus on how digital platform discourse contributes to strengthening democratic resilience and promoting institutional accountability

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the meaning of politeness in communicating in podcast media with an integrative-epistemological pragmatic perspective. The data of this study are manifestations of the pragmatic meaning of politeness in communicating in podcast media. The substantive data sources are the texts in the transcribed podcasts and in them there are research data. The locational data source is the podcast media that can be accessed around the time of this study. Data were collected using the listening method with recording and note-taking techniques. The data that has been collected is then classified and typified to facilitate data analysis. The data reduction process is carried out in this research stage. Data are analyzed and interpreted to find the pragmatic meanings of politeness. The pragmatic meanings of politeness are found using the equivalence analysis method, especially extralingual equivalences. The analysis of extralingual equivalences plays the role of context as a tool for analysis and interpretation. The dominant context used as a tool for analysis and interpretation in this stage is the cybertext context, both visual, aural, gestural, spatial, and linguistic cybertexts. The stages applied in this data analysis are identification, reduction, classification, identification, and interpretation. This study has produced several findings of the pragmatic meaning of politeness in podcast media as presented below: (1) Gratitude, (2) Expression of Admiration, (3) Expression of Affirmation, (4) Personal Expression, (5) Expression of Disagreement, (6) Indirect Expression, (7) Expression of Direct Affirmation, (8) Personal Expression, (9) Expression of Covert Criticism.

Abstract

This study investigates the speech system Kato Nan Ampek of the Minangkabau community through Halliday’s social semiotic framework. Kato Nan Ampek, comprising four speech forms—mandaki, manurun, mandata, and malereang—reflects Minangkabau values of politeness, hierarchy, and egalitarianism. The research aims to analyze how language structure (mood, modality, theme-rheme) constructs ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings within traditional verbal communication. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting verbal texts from everyday Minangkabau interactions. Each utterance is examined using systemic functional linguistics (SFL), specifically analyzing the register components (field, tenor, and mode) and the three metafunctions. The findings reveal that each kato type corresponds to distinct social roles and communicative strategies. For example, Kato Mandaki is used when addressing elders, marked by indirect clause structures and low modality, signifying humility and respect. Kato Mandata, conversely, uses direct mood and informal particles to signify social equality and solidarity. Each speech act embeds cultural ideology and moral values mandaki enacts reverence for authority; manurun conveys affectionate instruction; mandata embodies communal harmony; and malereang expresses caution and politeness in formal interaction. These speech forms do not merely reflect cultural values but actively reproduce them through linguistic choices. The study affirms language as a semiotic resource that encodes ideology, social hierarchy, and identity. The paper contributes theoretically to local discourse studies by modeling how language is culturally shaped. Practically, it informs curriculum development, intergenerational language preservation, and revitalization strategies in the face of modernization. Future research should incorporate multimodal discourse (intonation, gesture), empirical dialogue data, and generational perceptions to deepen understanding of Kato Nan Ampek in a digital era.

Abstract

This study explores integrating humanistic animated learning media with ecological education to improve elementary students’ reading interest. Drawing on principles of humanistic pedagogy, the intervention aimed to cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and environmental awareness while simultaneously stimulating literacy skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 217 participants, who engaged with animated stories centered on ecological themes. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that students exposed to the animated human-ecological content demonstrated significantly higher reading interest levels than their control group peers. Moreover, the narratives fostered a deeper engagement with ecological issues, highlighting the potential of digital media to address dual objectives of literacy development and value education. However, limitations of the study include the short intervention period, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of long-term follow-up. These findings contribute to current literacy and environmental education debates by showing that combining humanistic approaches with multimedia can produce meaningful educational outcomes. Future research should extend this model across different cultural and socio-economic contexts, employ longitudinal designs, and assess broader cognitive and affective impacts. This study provides insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking innovative strategies to integrate literacy promotion with sustainable education goals.

Abstract

This study explores the resilience of the bakaua ritual in Minangkabau society, focusing on its capacity to endure amid modernization, Islamization, and heritage commodification pressures. While many indigenous rituals have been desacralized or abandoned, bakaua persists as an annual agricultural rite rooted in myth and collective belief. Employing ethnographic fieldwork in Nagari Sijunjung and structuralist analysis of ten foundational myths, this research uncovers the reciprocal relationship between myth and ritual as the key mechanism of persistence. The myths surrounding Syeh Muhsin, a historical cleric mythologized as a sacred figure, provide legitimacy and narrative continuity. In turn, ritual practice actualizes these myths through sacred relics, communal cooperation, and annual recitation, thus embedding them in collective memory. This dynamic interplay between narrative and practice reinforces social cohesion, religious legitimacy, and cultural identity. Findings highlight that Bakaua is not merely a ritual obligation but a cultural strategy for resilience, sustained by collective memory and consciousness. However, external challenges such as tourism-driven commodification and generational shifts pose risks to its sanctity. By linking structuralist insights with theories of collective memory and cultural resilience, this study contributes to broader debates on how rituals adapt and survive in contemporary societies. The research underscores the importance of local agency in heritage preservation, emphasizing that cultural sustainability requires balancing internal values with external pressures. Ultimately, Bakaua exemplifies how myth and ritual co-create resilience, offering a model for understanding intangible heritage persistence globally.

Abstract

Folklore is a local wisdom that contains many Indonesian cultural values. Many folk tales tell stories about people's lives and tell history or societal figures, accompanied by values that are very good if taught in schools. Acehnese folklore is a form of oral literature transmitted by word of mouth, containing messages or advice from experiences or natural events linked to events experienced by humans, ancestors, or pious people at that time. This research aims to describe the values of character education in the Acehnese folklore Banta Barensyah. This story is full of character education values from which many lessons can be learned to become role models for today's young generation. The story of the hard work and love between parents and children is so beautifully described, right up to the story's happy ending. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques in the form of listening and note-taking techniques, as well as data analysis techniques in the form of content analysis. Based on the study carried out, there are 13 educational character values in this folklore, including: 1) religiosity; 2) honesty; 3) hard work; 4) creativity; 5) independent; 6) democratic; 7) curiosity; 8) national spirit; 9) appreciates achevements; 10) friendly/communicative; 11) love of peace; 12) social care; and 13) responsibility. So, it can be concluded that the Acehnese folklore Banta Barensyah is very good to use as teaching material for Indonesians and schools.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the English Linguistic Landscape as a potential learning medium for English as a Foreign Language (EFL)  in Padang, West Sumatra. While previous studies have described the English Linguistic Landscape in Indonesia, few have explicitly explored its pedagogical value and discursive implications for language learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzed 850 English-containing public signs across the city and surveyed 114 EFL students at Universitas Andalas regarding their perceptions of English in public spaces. We examined the signs regarding linguistic units (as the texts) and their visual positioning and relation to symbolic meaning and cultural identity. Findings reveal that English is prominently used in commercial signage, often in larger fonts and strategic positions, signaling its dominance and symbolic prestige over Indonesian. Student responses indicate generally positive attitudes, with more than 80% acknowledging that the English Linguistic Landscape contributes to vocabulary building, grammar awareness, and motivation for language learning. However, the study also notes grammatical and hybrid construction inaccuracies that may reinforce non-standard English patterns. The discussion highlights English Linguistic Landscape as a discourse resource that reflects globalization, power relations, and shifting identities in urban Indonesia. Implications suggest that the English Linguistic Landscape can be integrated into EFL pedagogy through critical analysis tasks and multimodal learning activities. Future research should expand to the digital English Linguistic Landscape and comparative contexts across Indonesian cities. This research underscores the pedagogical and sociocultural significance of the English Linguistic Landscape, though further work is needed to deepen its discourse analysis and pedagogical applications.
