Abstract

Bahasa Tobati merupakan bahasa Austronesia yang terancam punah dengan jumlah penutur aktif kurang dari 100 orang di desa Tobati dan Enggros. Secara khusus, tujuan penelitian ini adalah agar anak-anak adat di komunitas Tobati menjadi terbiasa dan tertarik mempelajari bahasa ibu mereka dengan menyediakan materi dan sumber belajar yang menarik. Revitalisasi bahasa Tobati dilaksanakan dengan metode pencelupan bahasa. Leksikon bergambar digunakan untuk mengenalkan anak-anak kosakata dasar bahasa Tobati di sekolah dan rumah, membantu guru dan orang tua dalam mewariskan pengetahuan linguistik dalam format yang mudah dipahami. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dalam tiga kali pertemuan dan dianalisis dengan analisis tematik. Hasilnya, revitalisasi bahasa Tobati melalui metode pencelupan bahasa menggunakan leksikon bergambar secara efektif merangkul dan menarik minat anak-anak untuk mempelajari bahasa ibu mereka. Implikasinya adalah untuk menjaga vitalitas bahasa dan berpotensi membawa hasil positif bagi anak-anak dan komunitas adat, seperti pelestarian bahasa, penguatan identitas budaya, dan manfaat pendidikan.

Abstract

This study examines the discourse surrounding Gus Miftah’s resignation as a presidential special envoy, emphasizing Twitter users’ remarks. This study focuses on how public debates and criticism toward Gus Mifath can be misleading and out of focus. This study aims to show that emotion and improper judgment can break the arguments rule in public debates. By using Martin Reisigl and Ruth Wodak’s theoretical framework on pragmatic fallacies and topoi and the theory of attitude in appraisal theory by Martin and White, the research identifies and analyzes argumentative strategies prevalent in public discourse. The findings reveal a significant presence of fallacies, including ad hominem which has dominant result 30.2% and ad populum 15.7% and topos of justice, disadvantage, and humanitarianism by score 10.7%, 9.7% and 9.7% from 113 data respectively can challenges power structures and result in political change. Situated within Indonesia’s socio-cultural context, the study highlights mostly those arguments fall into fallacies which means that they were fueled by emotions and misjudgment in attitude analysis found that 69.86% are about negative judgment and 13.4% negative appreciation. In addition, this research also found 45% in negative judgment and 16% in positive affect in topos. This result shows that although many comments are fueled by emotions and misjudgment, few of them still states their hope of change from Gus Miftah and the government who chose him as the presidential special envoy.

Social media which plays a critical role in shaping public perception and discourse on geopolitical events making sentiment analysis a valuable tool for assessing online reactions. Using the pre-collected dataset “Daily Public Opinion on Israel-Palestine War” from Kaggle, which contains 389,229 comments from 14 subreddits, this study applies the VADER sentiment analysis tool within Python’s pandas environment. VADER's lexicon, optimized for social media text, enables the assessment of comment polarity (positive, neutral, negative) and overall sentiment valence. The findings suggest a correlation between short-term sentiment fluctuations and widely publicized events in the Israel-Hamas war, indicating that online discourse reacts dynamically to developments on the ground. This study contributes to applied linguistics in understanding how natural language in digital communities emotionally respond to real-world conflicts.
