Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of language maintenance at Istana Dalam Loka, focusing on the role of various domains in both physical and virtual access to the site. Utilizing data from Google Search and Google Trends, the research analyzes the prevalence of different domains—tourism, historical and cultural, religious, entertainment, and educational—within the virtual landscape, and compares them to their physical reality. The findings indicate that tourism is the most dominant domain, both in physical and virtual contexts, followed by historical and cultural activities. However, despite the stream of external influences through tourism, the study reveals a strong resistance to language and cultural differences, as the local Sumbawa culture remains deeply rooted in activities conducted at Istana Dalam Loka. This cultural resistance suggests that Sumbawa language and cultures are being maintained through a process similar to a sociolinguistic diversity of 'melting pot,' where diverse languages and cultures are integrated to the Sumbawa language and culture. The study concludes that while virtual access offers an alternative platform for language contact and multicultural engagement, it is primarily locals who both produce and consume content related to Istana Dalam Loka in virtual access. It also ensures the continued dominance of Sumbawa language and culture.

Abstract

One of the prominent social issues today is discrimination, depicted in various literary works. This study examines the forms and causes of discrimination against female characters in Leila Slimani’s novel, employing Pettigrew’s discrimination theory and a sociology of literature approach as well as Wellek and Warren’s literary sociology approach. Those theories are utilized as a method of sociology-focus approach to analyze some quotes which depicts the discrimination. In the end, this study found that female characters in the story face direct discrimination through citizenship status and race. Besides, the characters also suffered physical attacks, as well as gender and indirect discrimination through property ownership restrictions and marriage regulations. Pettigrew's theory attributes these discriminatory acts to prejudice and stereotypes.

Abstract

This study examines the semiotic analysis of body positivity in Meghan Trainor’s music video entitled You Don’t Know Me, by the approach of a study on symbolism and representation, particularly the Roland Bathes’ semiotic sign theory. With that, this study aims to find out the denotative and connotative meanings of the symbols contained in the images and song lyrics of the video clip. The study reveals how Meghan Trainor’s music video challenges conventional beauty norms and promotes body positivity by analyzing its visual and lyrical elements using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. The body positivity celebrates the diversity of body types, skin colors and features. After all, this study argues that Trainor’s music video contributes to the body positivity movement and demonstrates how popular media can challenge entrenched beauty myths and foster more inclusive ideals regarding attractiveness and self-worth.

Abstract

Morphology is the study of words and their structure, focusing on the relationships between morphemes. This study aims to examine teachers’ morphological awareness and errors in teaching English. A qualitative content analysis method was employed, with one English teacher as the participant, selected based on their extensive teaching content on YouTube. Observation sheets and criterion- referenced assessment (CRA) were used as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the teacher's morphological awareness score is 71.42%, classifying them as "aware." Additionally, 24 morphological errors were identified in the teacher’s video content. Among these, misinformation was the most frequent type of error, accounting for 79.16%, followed by disordering (12.5%) and omission (8.33%).In conclusion, while the teacher demonstrates moderate morphological awareness, a significant number of misinformation errors suggest areas for improvement in morphological instruction.

Abstract

This research aims to identify thestrategies used in translating slang expressionsbased on their functions in the novel Eleanor & Park, ensuring that the translation maintains meaning equivalence. The corpus consists of the English and Indonesian versions of Eleanor & Park, a novel by Rainbow Rowell, first published in February 2013 by St. Martin’s Press. This study employs a qualitative method, drawing on Elisa Mattiello’s framework for slang expression types, Karolina Butkuvienė and Lolita Petruliоnė’s theories on slang translation strategies, and Peter Newmark’s concept of meaning equivalence to achieve the research objectives. Data were collected through comprehensive reading and note-taking. The findings reveal that three slang translation strategies were applied in the translation process, with stylistic compensation being the most frequently used. Specifically, 10 instances of stylistic compensation, 3 instances of softening, and 2 instances of literal translation were identified. Additionally, the translator employed both semantic and communicative translation to achieve meaning equivalence. However, some translations failed to achieve any equivalent meaning, leading to a potential loss of the original intent. Ultimately, the study highlights the necessity of selecting appropriate slang translation strategies based on context, target audience, and the translator’s approach to conveying meaning effectively.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of short stories in improving reading skills among English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners, with a particular focus on the "previewing the text" method. The research examines how introducing students to key elements of a short story, such as characters, setting, and themes, before reading the full text enhances their reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and engagement with the material. A qualitative approach was employed, involving a literature review and interviews with both students and teachers who have used short stories in their language learning and teaching practices. The findings reveal that short stories, when used in conjunction with the previewing technique, significantly boost students' ability to understand and analyse the text, foster critical thinking, and increase their vocabulary retention. The previewing method also helps students feel more prepared and less intimidated by unfamiliar words or complex structures, resulting in a more confident and motivated reading experience. The study highlights the potential of short stories to improve reading skills in EFL contexts and suggests that educators should integrate this approach into their curriculum to promote active engagement and deeper language development.

Abstract

This study identifies and classifies political signs as iconic, indexical, and symbolic, examining their role in Indonesian political campaigns and public discourse. Iconic signs, such as logos and national emblems, convey ideological values and collective identities. Indexical signs reflect the socio-political climate and the electorate’s public sentiments. Symbolic signs, including slogans and legislative acts, encapsulate broader societal meanings and political agendas. Through qualitative analysis, this study explores the mechanisms by which signs engage citizens and influence political narratives. In the end, this study aims to deepen the understanding of political communication in Indonesia by deconstructing the intricate relationships between political signs and the country’s dynamic democratic situation. The findings highlight the significance of semiotic analysis in revealing the complex relationships between political power, meaning, and sign, offering insights into the changing nature of political engagement in Indonesia.
