Abstract

In general, apology used as a way to improve relations between individuals. However, in certain contexts, apology can be used as a political tool that has tendencies based on interests, especially group interests. This is illustrated by the expression of invited guests in the Indonesian Lawyers Club (ILC) discussion with the theme "50 Tahun G30S/PKI: Perlukah Negara Minta Maaf?" which is the object of study in this study. In this research, the researchers use Cognitive Linguistic approach to explore concepts and conceptual metaphors of apology. The researchers use the method of referring to the tapping technique and note to transcribe data which is then classified and analyzed using the matching method. Based on the analysis carried out, conceptually, apologies are understood as a way to calm the feelings of the interlocutor in order to create a more comfortable atmosphere in relations between speakers. In searching for conceptual metaphors, the researchers discover the concept +PERMINTAAN MAAF+ is understood as another concept, some concepts refer to objects, those that refer to abstract entities.

Abstract

The present paper describes how expatriates of different linguistic backgrounds cope with the Arabic language differently during their stay in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Linguistically, the expatriates here can be divided into two distinct categories; (1) those, for whom Arabic is not a foreign language; (2) those, for whom Arabic is a foreign language. The study analyzes the functional level of the Arabic language in category 2. Multiple sociolinguistic factors are responsible for learning or acquiring Arabic as an ASL, AFL, ALF, or ALL amongst the non-Arabic expatriates in KSA. The paper describes how the incomplete/ partial linguistic competency among the expatriates sometimes extended into a full-fledged skill- in the case of (A) those who stayed here longer for generations and could not return to their native place. (B) Those who go back to the native site forever as their job tenure is over. In both cases, language loss occurs; In terms of the case (A) First language loss is observed, on the other hand, in case (B) incomplete or partial (Arabic) language competency is lost. The persisting situation demands realistic affirmative action collectively.
