Abstract

In human society, the need for interpersonal connection has given rise to the emergence of language. Beyond serving as a medium of communication, language functions as a vehicle for articulating emotions and conveying thoughts, with its use shaped by contextual and situational factors. This research seeks to examine the language styles engaged by students of the English Education Department at Mulawarman University, using Martin Joos’ (1976) theory and Holmes (2013) as sociolinguistic theory. The study investigates the categories of language styles used in students' speech and the factors influencing their choice of style. A qualitative method was applied, utilizing data from a recorded video interview and follow-up semi-structured interviews with two selected participants. Data analysis was undertaken using thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke (2006) framework. The findings reveal that three out of five language styles formulated by Joos—consultative, casual, and intimate—were used by the participants, with consultative style being the most dominant. Language style occurred primarily in academic contexts, especially when interacting with instructors or unfamiliar individuals. Factors influencing language style include the speaker, setting, topic, and function, in alignment with Holmes’ (1992) sociolinguistic theory. Furthermore, although participants often identified their style as “formal,” triangulation with Joos’ and Braund and Clarke theory revealed that their usage aligned as consultative features. These findings provide valuable insights into how language styles function in educational settings and highlight the importance of context in language use.

Abstract

Causative Constructions are central to understanding how languages encode cause-and-effect relationships. In Austronesian languages, they exhibit diverse strategies ranging from affixation to periphrastic structures. This research investigates causative constructions in Acehnese language with the aim of identifying their main types and analysing their structures through X-Bar Theory. Data were collected from native Acehnese speakers via field observations, semi-structured interviews, and supported with written texts, and were analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal two structural patterns: mono-clause (single-clause) and bi-clause (two-clause) constructions. Within these, three causative types emerge: (1) morphological causatives, formed with prefixes such as peu- and seu- that increase a verb’s argument structure (valency); (2) paraphrastic causatives, employing auxiliary verbs such as geu-yue and peu-gèt in bi-clause constructions; and (3) semantic causatives, where verbs like geu-plén inherently encode causative meaning without structural modification. Morphological and semantic causatives are generally mono-clause, while paraphrastic causatives are typically bi-clause. Applying X-Bar Theory enables a formal representation of how the causer (initiator), cause (event), and causee (affected participant) are hierarchically organized in Acehnese syntax, revealing systematic patterns of valency shift and clause complexity. Unlike most previous studies, which have largely offered descriptive accounts, this research demonstrates how X-Bar Theory—rarely applied to Acehnese language—can capture the interaction between morphology, semantics, and syntax in a formal model. In short, this research not only enriches the description of Acehnese language causatives but also fills a theoretical gap by contributing a formal syntactic representation of Acehnese language causatives through X-bar theory, an approach rarely explored in previous researches and contributed to broader discussions of syntactic theory in Austronesian languages.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been developing at a fast pace and is increasingly embedded in everyday human activities. In the realm of education AI serves as a transformative force, reshaping both teaching practices and learning processes. A key contribution of AI in this context lies in its capacity to deliver individualized and adaptive learning experiences. This study aims to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based English learning assessment system in the English Education program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra, Medan. The study also seeks to measure the extent to which the AI-based assessment curriculum has effectively achieved the program's vision, mission, objectives, and graduate profile. A qualitative case study within purposive sampling approach was employed to select participants who had relevant experience and knowledge in English teaching and learning. The data collection methods included Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) with 20 lecturers and 100 students, as well as in-depth interviews with lecturers. The data from questionnaire were analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and differences in the responses of the respondents. The findings of this study indicate that the use of AI in assessing English proficiency among students has proven to be effective and efficient, not only in individual assessment but also in supporting the evaluation of academic program curricula. However, the findings also highlight the need for adequate technological readiness and training for both lecturer and student to optimize AI utilization.

Abstract

The oppression of women in patriarchal societies often disguises itself as empowerment through cultural practices that appear to offer temporary freedom. One such practice is bacha posh, a tradition in Afghanistan where girls are allowed to adopt the identity of boys to access mobility, education, and social privileges. While often regarded as an act of cultural adaptation or empowerment, this tradition remains underexplored in terms of how it perpetuates gender-based oppression. This study analyzes how bacha posh is portrayed in Nadia Hashimi’s The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, revealing how the practice, though appearing liberating, ultimately sustains patriarchal control. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study applies Iris Marion Young’s Five Faces of Oppression and Jacques Derrida’s Deconstruction theory to examine how the characters in the novel experience exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence. The findings show that the advantages girls receive while performing as boys are not rooted in equality but in submission to masculine norms. When they return to their female identities, these privileges are stripped away, exposing the illusion of empowerment. The study concludes that bacha posh, rather than resisting oppression towards women, perpetuates it by allowing only conditional access to power while keeping oppressive structures intact.

Abstract

Storytelling is a strategic tool that conveys meaning in literature and evokes emotional depth, cultural insight, and imaginative expression. In addition, storytelling also drives innovation in various fields such as business and entrepreneurship. However, many students of English literature are unaware that their strengths in narrative thinking can be developed into valuable entrepreneurial skills. This study addresses that gap by designing a storytelling-based Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a learning tool for the Literature and Entrepreneurship course. This study uses Fisher's Narrative Paradigm Theory, which explains Human beings as natural storytellers. Besides, it is supported by Osterwalder's BMC framework. Using a Research and Development (R&D) method adapted from Branch ADDIE, the research produced digital instructional media in the form of videos and an application designed through Canvanizer, Google Sites, and Kodular. These platforms were used to embed narrative thinking into each component of the BMC. The content expert and IT validate the Product. It was tested in a small and a large group trial. Findings show that integrating storytelling into the business modelling process significantly strengthens students' ability to construct and communicate ideas, especially aligning their creativity with practical entrepreneurial thinking. The final product was found to be pedagogically feasible and relevant, contributing to the development of literature students as creative digitalpreneurs. It concludes that narrative approaches can be effectively adapted to entrepreneurship education in the humanities. Therefore, further research suggested exploring cross-disciplinary applications of the model for the long-term impact.

Abstract

Gender inequality is a social problem where there is discrimination or unequal treatment between men and women in access to important resources in human life. The issue of male dominance and restrictions on rights and roles by patriarchal culture have successfully shaped the shackles and discrimination of women around the world. This discrimination is the basis for the feminist movements that emerged as a manifestation of the desire to fight for women's rights in social life. In this globalization era, social issues such as gender inequality are illustrated in the form of movies. The movie Enola Holmes is one example of an illustration of gender inequality in a patriarchal society. Enola Holmes 2 is what gave rise to the researcher's desire to conduct a deeper study on the issue of gender inequality. This study aims to analyze the forms of gender inequality and how the issue of gender inequality affects the female characters in the movie Enola Holmes 2. This study is a descriptive qualitative study, the primary data is taken from the movie Enola Holmes 2 itself and the secondary data is taken from the transcript of the movie. The researcher uses the theory of patriarchy by Walby (2017) to analyze the issue of gender inequality and feminism in the movie Enola Holmes 2. The results of this study are packaged in the form of a thesis entitled "Gender Inequality Towards Male Domination in The Movie Enola Holmes 2".

Abstract

This study aims to analyze speech acts in the context of sociolinguistic aspects with a focus on language interaction. Speech act is a form of verbal expression that has social impact and pragmatic meaning in daily human communication. This research focuses on the types and factors in speech acts that exist in the two male and female leads in the movie entitled To All The Boys: Always and Forever. Through a sociolinguistic and descriptive qualitative approach, this research explores the relationship between speech acts and social dynamics in various communication situations. This research method involves collecting data from the speech acts in the scripts of the movie. The data were then analyzed qualitatively by considering the speech act framework as well as concepts in sociolinguistic theory. The analysis shows that speech acts play an important role in representing gender norms in society. Language choices, speaking styles, and the types of speech acts used can differ based on gender, reflecting the social construction of gender roles. However, this cannot be a stereotype in everyday social life to categorize gender. Therefore, the author adds the aspect of types and factors behind the purpose of a conversation between men and women.
