Abstract

The phenomenon of public distrust toward state officials is not solely caused by a mismatch between language and empirical reality, but also by the complex processes through which meaning is represented within the social sphere. This study aims to analyze how state officials’ language constructs, reproduce, and distort reality through the lens of Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. Within this framework, language is understood not merely as a reflection of reality, but as a practice that actively produces meaning through systems of signs and discourse. This research employs a qualitative approach, using discourse analysis, to examine statements made by state officials in the public domain. The findings indicate that meaning within officials’ statements is dynamic and open to multiple interpretations, shaped by social context, ideology, and the positionality of the audience. Public distrust emerges from the gap between meanings encoded by officials (encoding) and those interpreted by the public (decoding), including oppositional readings. The expansion of access to information and digital literacy has strengthened the role of the public as active agents in producing and disseminating meaning, thereby diminishing officials’ exclusive control over representation. The illogicality and inconsistency found in certain statements reflect not only cognitive limitations but also a failure to construct representations aligned with the collective experiences of society. Therefore, public trust is largely determined by the success of the representational process, encompassing the construction of meaning, strategies of message encoding, and the dynamics of audience interpretation within broader social contexts.

Abstract

The preservation of indigenous languages remains a critical concern in multilingual societies, particularly in South Africa, where minority languages like Xitsonga face challenges including language shift, cultural assimilation, and limited representation in mainstream media. This study investigates the role of Xigaza Monday, a community-driven initiative that celebrates and promotes the Xitsonga language through artistic expression, focusing on music, dance, and community performances. The study employed qualitative research methods, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis of performances and social media content. A total of thirty participants were interviewed, comprising 18 youth performers, 7 event organizers, and 5 cultural experts. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key patterns in language use, cultural engagement, and participants’ perceptions of the event. The findings indicate that Xigaza Monday fosters language pride, strengthens intergenerational transmission of Xitsonga, and provides an informal platform for linguistic creativity. Participants exhibited knowledge of Xitsonga vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and proverbs, while younger attendees demonstrated adaptive use of language in contemporary artistic forms. Challenges identified include limited outreach, infrastructural constraints, and the need for sustained community involvement. The study concludes that initiatives such as Xigaza Monday play a pivotal role in preserving the Xitsonga language, maintaining cultural continuity, and engaging youth. Recommendations include expanding digital presence, formal partnerships with educational institutions, and systematic documentation of performances for linguistic research.

Abstract

With the ongoing expansion of digital technology and global communication, the need for rapid and accurate language translation has become increasingly important. Artificial intelligence has led to significant progress in translation, especially through innovations such as Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite ongoing advancements, these translation systems often fall short in areas such as gender fairness, maintaining accuracy from the source language, and recognizing cultural subtleties. This paper systematically analyzes 29 selected research works to highlight the challenges, novel contributions, and potential implications of AI-assisted translation. The approach used was a systematic review. Results show that Artificial intelligence has improved translation efficiency and identified new opportunities in global trade, research, healthcare, and cross-cultural communication. Yet it needs to tackle several issues, such as algorithmic bias, challenges and nuances in cultural retention, and ethical challenges in the human translation industry. The results of this analysis underscore the need for more comprehensive, precise, and ethical AI models, as well as the importance of AI-human collaboration to achieve the highest-quality translations. This study helps to understand the development of AI-based translation and develop methods for its long-term usage.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the Banjarese dialect on the English vowel pronunciation of two Banjarese speakers. The research is grounded in the understanding that English and Banjarese differ substantially in their vowel inventories and rhythmic structures, which may lead to systematic phonological transfer. Using a qualitative case study approach combining Praat-based acoustic phonetic analysis and narrative inquiry, this study recorded two male Banjarese speakers aged 20 pronouncing selected English words containing problematic vowels (/æ/, /?/, /?/, /u?/, /??/). The recordings were analyzed to identify deviations in vowel quality and centralization, while semi-structured interviews explored speakers' awareness of and challenges with these qualities. The findings revealed consistent substitution patterns such as /æ/?/e/, /?/?/e/ or /i/, and /?/?/i/, accompanied by fronting and the absence of vowel reduction in unstressed syllables. These patterns reflect the influence of the Banjarese vowel system, which lacks central vowels, tense-lax contrasts, and vowel length distinction. Acoustic evidence confirmed the persistence of full vowel quality, indicating syllable-timed rhythm interference. The study supports Flege's Speech Learning Model and Best and Tyler's Perceptual Assimilation Model by demonstrating dialect-specific phonemic transfer. Pedagogically, the results suggest that explicit instruction on vowel reduction, centralization, and rhythm awareness may help mitigate Banjarese interference in English pronunciation.

Abstract

EFL learners often find grammar challenging, particularly when using the passive voice, which often leads to errors. This study investigated the types of errors that EFL students made when converting active into passive constructions, using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy (SST) proposed by Dulay et al. (1982) as the analytical framework. A quantitative research design was employed, and data were collected through a test administered to 50 English majors in the English Language and Literature Department at Ghor University. The test consisted of 21 active sentences in various tenses, which students were required to transform into passive sentences. Analysis of the results revealed four main types of errors according to the SST model. Misformation errors were the most frequent (46.10%), followed by omission errors (34.58%). Addition errors were less common (10.85%), while misordering errors occurred the least (8.47%). The findings provide educators with valuable insights, helping them refine teaching strategies and improve students’ proficiency in the passive voice.

Abstract

This study examines how state and private universities in Ghana construct institutional identities and ideological orientations through their mission statements. Drawing on Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, the study analyses 63 mission statements to uncover the ideological categories encoded in these texts and the linguistic resources through which they are realized. The findings reveal thirty-two ideological orientations, with educational, developmental, professional, leadership, and national ideologies most frequently foregrounded. Linguistically, ideologies are naturalized through declarative sentence structures, non-finite clauses, nominalization, evaluative adjectives, and strategic representations of social actors. A comparative analysis shows that state universities predominantly align with national development, scientific advancement, and public service discourses, whereas private universities, especially faith-based ones, mobilize religious, entrepreneurial, global, and moral ideologies to differentiate their institutional identities. These patterns demonstrate that mission statements operate as ideological technologies that mediate institutional legitimacy, respond to socio-political pressures, and position universities within both local and global educational markets. The study contributes to Critical Discourse Studies by illuminating how higher education institutions in the Global South recontextualize globally circulating discourses within culturally and politically specific contexts. It also offers insights into how language functions as a strategic tool in institutional branding, policy alignment, and identity construction.

Abstract

Isaac Asimov’s “The Caves of Steel” (1954) is often discussed as a foundational robot novel and a key text in the mid-century convergence of science fiction and detective fiction. This review article argues that the novel’s lasting critical value lies in the way its literary devices, especially spatial metaphor, genre hybridity, focalization, and the semiotics of the human/robot boundary, transform social anxieties into narrative structure. Drawing on scholarship in science fiction studies, urban cultural theory, and recent dissertation research, the article examines how Asimov’s enclosed-city chronotope represents overpopulation, class stratification, technological governance, and xenophobic othering in the futuristic city. Methodologically, the study combines a targeted literature review, device-centered close reading, and thematic coding of social-issue representations related to space, labor, prejudice, and technocracy. The findings indicate that Asimov’s strategy is not limited to simple allegorical substitution; rather, the detective plot performs a social-epistemological function by compelling both protagonist and reader to revise inherited assumptions about personhood, trust, and civic belonging. It further shows that the city itself operates as a formal mechanism that makes social contradictions visible, readable, and narratively manageable. The article concludes that “The Caves of Steel” remains an influential model of social science fiction in which narrative form itself stages debates about modernity’s infrastructural, ethical, and political limits.
