Abstract

The new book “The Formosan Primary Anthropogonic Myths, Genesis and the Creation of Man” by Valdis Gauss was published in June by Brill’s Series in Taiwan Studies. This monograph offers never-before-seen insights into the origin traditions of Austronesian Taiwan. With the objective of creating the first ever English language corpus of the Formosan origin myths, over 100 texts were translated from Japanese, German and Mandarin into English and added to the over 250 total Formosan texts found for the work. This incredibly colorful array of creation texts, genesis texts, and drift origin texts sheds light on a previously rarely explored subject. The sacred oral histories of Taiwan’s Aboriginal tribes memorialize various types of vessels, of both the cosmic and non-cosmic sort that ferried the ancestors of Austronesian Taiwan to the island. Many of these cosmic vessels are said to have made loud and distressful sounds as they crashed from the sky. Moreover, embedded within the texts are the motives for the creation of man, interdictions bestowed upon the protoplasts by the creator gods, curious specters of creation en masse, the growing of mankind from seeds and an examination of modern practices that are inspired by the view of life through the lens of myth. Creation en masse themes indicate that multiple people were contemporaneously created which negates the otherwise obligatory incest motif that is required in traditions that describe the creation of a single person or two people. Correlations between the Sumerian creation myth and the Kanakanavu creation myth are also explored. Throughout the book, all of Taiwan’s Aboriginal primary anthropogonic myths are anthologized and the salient motifs preserved therein are identified.

Abstract

The research objectives of this study were all 44 eighth-grade students of SMPN Batu, Polewali Mandar Regency. The research was conducted in two cycles, with the following processes: (a) planning actions, (b) implementing actions in cycles I and II, (c) conducting research/observations during cycles I and II, (d) conducting a final evaluation of the cycle, (e) analyzing data from evaluation and observation results, (f) conducting reflection based on the analysis and student responses. The results of the study showed the following: (1) the average score obtained by students on the final test of cycle I was 74.89, and the average score on the final test of cycle II was 82.39. (2) student learning outcomes improved in each cycle. This can be seen from the data showing that the comparison of the percentage of learning completion and learning failure in cycle I was 90.9:9.1, while in cycle II it was 100:0. (3) learning using the demonstration method is very effective in improving the learning outcomes of Indonesian language students in grade VIII of SMPN Batu, Polewali Mandar Regency. From the results of this study, it was concluded that by implementing the demonstration teaching method at SMPN Batu, Polewali Mandar Regency, grade VIII, learning outcomes in the Indonesian language subject can be improved.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of trauma in Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us through the experiences of the main character, Lily Bloom. The objective is to identify how Lily’s trauma is reflected, its causes, its effects, and the coping mechanisms she employs. A psychological approach is applied, drawing on the theories of Cathy Caruth, Judith Herman, and James Pennebaker, with descriptive qualitative analysis used to examine textual evidence from the novel. The findings show that Lily’s trauma is reflected in repetitive behaviors such as shuffling cards and in dissociative experiences like hallucinations. The primary cause of her trauma is her father’s domestic violence, while its effects include difficulties in relationships, emotional conflict, and instability, but also resilience and post-traumatic growth. Expressive writing functions as her main coping strategy, helping her process painful memories and ultimately break the cycle of abuse. This study concludes that It Ends with Us portrays the psychological complexity of trauma and emphasizes the role of literature in representing recovery. The research contributes to trauma studies and literary analysis by demonstrating how fiction can reveal the lived realities of trauma survivors and provide insight into pathways of healing.

Abstract

This study explores the use of deictic elements in the film Sejuta Sayang Untuknya through a technology-based approach utilizing the Kortara platform. Deixis, as a linguistic feature that relies on contextual information, plays a significant role in shaping the narrative and interactions within the film. The analysis focuses on personal deixis (e.g., saya, kamu, dia) and temporal deixis (e.g., sekarang, besok) to examine how these elements contribute to characterizations, relationships between characters, and the overall temporal structure of the storyline. The study reveals that deictic expressions serve as crucial tools for conveying emotional tones, power dynamics, and social hierarchies in dialogues. By applying Kortara, a computational tool designed for linguistic analysis, the study provides detailed insights into the frequency and distribution of deictic elements, offering a deeper understanding of how cultural and social contexts influence language use in cinematic discourse. This research highlights the potential of computational linguistics in analyzing pragmatics and social dynamics in film dialogues, contributing to both applied linguistics and the study of language in media. The findings underscore the importance of deictic elements as markers of personal and temporal relationships that shape the audience’s interpretation of character interactions and the narrative flow.

Abstract

Folklore plays a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and serves as a medium for transmitting moral, ecological, and social values across generations. This article examines Indonesian (Nusantara) and world folklore from a critical literacy perspective, emphasizing how narratives function as cultural texts laden with ideology, representation, and power relations. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study purposively selected ten folklore texts—five from Indonesia and five from global traditions (European, African, Greek, and Norse)—to ensure thematic and cultural comparability. Data analysis followed four stages: narrative structure and symbolism, contextual interpretation, critical interrogation of ideological positioning, and comparative synthesis. Findings reveal that Indonesian folklore highlights ecological wisdom, local spirituality, and communal values, whereas global folklore tends to stress moral order, universal justice, and cosmological struggles. Both traditions, however, converge in their role as instruments of moral education and cultural preservation, though with divergent orientations. Gender representations across cultures show ambivalence, reflecting both marginalization and symbolic empowerment. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of folklore in formal education and advocates for its revitalization through digital media and community participation. Ultimately, folklore is conceptualized as a living, adaptive tradition that negotiates values and identities, sustaining its relevance in contemporary globalized contexts.

Abstract

The aristocratic names in South Nias differ from the proper names generally. Instead, it used common nouns to describe name bearers, which are influenced by the language, social, and cultural factors of South Nias. This research was conducted in Öri Maniamölö, South Nias, focusing on four sample villages as members of a group of villages in Öri Maniamölö: Bawömataluo, Hilinawaö Fau, Botohilitanö, and Hilisimaetanö villages. The results of the analysis revealed that aristocratic names in South Nias have meanings categorized into social stratification, natural aspects, instruments and tools, specific names, and human activity. Additionally, there were four functions of aristocratic names in South Nias: as the identifier of someone’s greatness and majesty, as the authority sign of the name bearer, as an identifier of family ancestry, and as the representative of the name bearer’s characteristics. Linguistically, there are four morphological processes in word formation in the data obtained, namely: 1) Prefixation which consisted of {sa-}, {s(i)-}, {so-}, {na-}, {ni-}, {da-}, {fa-}, {ma-}, {mo-}, {me-},{i-}, {te-}/{to-}. Then, 2) Circumfix, which consists of one data, namely {a-ta}, with the role of changing verbs into nouns. Next, 3) Suffixation, which consists of the suffix {-ma}, which functions as a nominalizer. The last process is 4) Reduplication that occurs in the words ‘Daro-daro’ by repeating the same word and still in the same word class as noun.
