Abstract

Tourism is one of Indonesia’s leading sectors in fostering economic growth and supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, translation plays a crucial role not only as a means of communication but also as a strategic instrument in building Indonesia’s global tourism branding. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through content analysis of official tourism promotion documents, such as the Wonderful Indonesia website, multilingual brochures, and digital materials, linked to national policies on sustainable tourism. The findings indicate that translation significantly contributes to strengthening Indonesia’s image in the international market, enhancing accessibility and inclusivity for international tourists, and reinforcing cultural diplomacy. However, several challenges remain, including inconsistent translation quality, limited professional resources, and adaptation to digital transformation. Therefore, improving translation professionalism and fostering cross-sector collaboration are essential to strengthen Indonesia’s tourism branding while supporting the achievement of the SDGs.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of Arabic name usage among Karo Muslims in Berastagi using an anthropolinguistic approach. The naming practices illustrate a process of acculturation between Islamic religious identity and the cultural identity of the Karo people, which is preserved through the traditional clan system known as marga. In this context, names function not only as personal labels but also as social symbols that carry cultural, religious, and historical values embedded within the community. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method involving in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with ten informants from the Karo Muslim community who bear Arabic-influenced names. The findings reveal that the choice of Arabic names is motivated by several factors, including the parents’ religious commitment, aspirations regarding the child’s character, and social influences that emphasize the significance of Islamic identity. Meanwhile, the marga is maintained as a fundamental component of Karo identity, marking lineage and social position. The combination of these two elements produces a harmonious dual identity. The study also shows that Arabic–Karo naming is not merely an adoption of external cultural elements but a process of identity negotiation that naturally occurs within social life. Through this naming practice, Karo Muslims affirm their belonging to the broader Islamic community while preserving their local cultural roots. Thus, Arabic–Karo naming practices reflect an adaptive cultural dynamic and demonstrate how collective identity continues to evolve within the context of ongoing social change.

Abstract

This article discusses phatic communication in Indonesian language during guest visits. The method used is the free listening and conversation technique (SBLC technique). The linguistic approach used in this study uses pragmatics. The role of the researcher in the SBLC technique is not involved in the conversation or interaction when people are in dialogue and the data speakers are not aware of the researcher's presence. The researcher becomes an important tool in data collection, namely by listening to and transcribing Indonesian phatic communication. The data obtained are classified with a table based on the problem points to be solved. The results of the research are obtained in the form of a pragmatic study to develop phatic communication in this field. The problem formulation in this article is how phatic communication in Indonesian language is based on place. Then what are the forms of communication in Indonesian language? Furthermore, how is the use of phatic communication in Indonesian language. The findings of this article are phatic communication in Indonesian language based on place has two spaces, namely visiting the homes of friends and relatives. The forms of phatic communication in Indonesian language are 10 forms, namely: greeting, asking permission, asking how things are, gossiping, small talk, introductions, asking about activities, complimenting, offering something, and thanking. The use of phatic communication in this study was categorized based on when entering the house, when leaving the house, and when ending the visit. Phatic communication during a visit is important to ensure proper etiquette and foster better relationships between the two parties. Future research on phatic communication can be conducted by examining the concept of visiting beyond just visiting friends and relatives, but also extending it to broader contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the use and flouting of conversational maxims in Marcello Hernandez’s stand-up comedy performance from a pragmatic perspective. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data consisting of utterances containing Grice’s maxims: quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. The data source is a stand-up comedy performance video by Marcello Hernandez on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The data were collected through observation, transcription, data reduction, and classification, and then analyzed using the Cooperative Principle theory. The findings reveal two main strategies: observance and flouting of maxims. From the total data analyzed, maxim flouting is more dominant than observance. The maxim of quality is the most frequently flouted, followed by relevance, quantity, and manner. These flouts are achieved through strategies such as hyperbole, metaphor, repetition, and irrelevance, which serve to create humorous effects. Furthermore, the study finds that humor in the performance is generated through cognitive mechanisms, particularly the Incongruity Theory, in which humor arises from a mismatch between expectation and reality that the audience resolves. Therefore, maxim flouting is not a communication failure but an effective pragmatic strategy for producing humor and enhancing audience engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to examine socio-onomastic trends in baby naming practices in Indonesia during the 2025–2026 period by focusing on issues of identity, religiosity, and globalization reflected in naming choices. The data consist of 30 baby names collected through documentation techniques from online news portals, social media platforms, and the researcher’s local environment. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach within the framework of socio-onomastics, which views personal names as linguistic phenomena closely related to social and cultural factors. Data were analyzed by identifying linguistic elements, cultural backgrounds, and social values embedded in the selected names. The findings reveal three major trends in contemporary baby naming practices. First, religiosity remains a dominant influence, reflected in the frequent use of Arabic-derived names and names carrying religious meanings. Second, globalization has significantly shaped naming patterns, as evidenced by the incorporation of linguistic elements from various languages, including English, French, Hebrew, and Sanskrit, often combined within a single name. Third, there is a growing tendency toward creative and innovative naming practices, reflecting parents’ desire to construct distinctive identities for their children. These findings suggest that baby names function not only as markers of personal identity but also as representations of cultural values, religious beliefs, social aspirations, and contemporary global orientations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the choice of medium of instruction, code-switching, code-mixing, level of formality, and language appropriateness relative to learners’ proficiency levels in online Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (ILFS) classes at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data sources including two Zoom recordings of beginner-level classes, the speech of two instructors, learner responses, observation results, online interviews, and documentation. Data were collected through note-taking, observation, and interviews, then analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which encompasses data collection, condensation, presentation, and verification. The results indicate that instructors in the teenage class predominantly used English as the medium of instruction in an informal register, whereas instructors in the adult class predominantly used Indonesian in a formal register. These differences are related to the learners’ age, communicative needs, and level of linguistic readiness. Code-switching and code-mixing emerged as communicative strategies to provide clarification, translate language elements that were not yet understood, reinforce meaning, maintain the continuity of interaction, and reduce ambiguity. The use of repetition, clear intonation, gestures, and the insertion of English language elements also support comprehension of speech. The findings also show that listening and speaking skills develop more prominently than reading and writing. Linguistically, these findings confirm that code-switching and code-mixing are not deviations but rather mechanisms for negotiating meaning that reflect the relationship between language choice, context, and learners’ communicative competence. Thus, code selection in online ILFS learning is contextual, adaptive, and influenced by speaker characteristics, communicative goals, and the interaction situation.

Abstract

In recent years, body neutrality has emerged as an alternative discourse that emphasizes bodily acceptance and functionality rather than physical appearance. However, its incorporation into fashion and lifestyle media may intersect with consumer culture and beauty norms. This study examines the representation of body neutrality in the Kompas Lifestyle article Ryse & Shyne Ajak Perempuan Berdamai dengan Tubuh (2025) using Critical Discourse Analysis and Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth. Using a qualitative approach supported by content analysis, the study examines words, phrases, clauses, sentences, descriptive expressions, and direct quotations through three categories: Inclusive Language and Hidden Normality, Commodification of Self-Acceptance, and Ambivalence of Body Neutrality. The findings show that the article promotes bodily inclusivity and acceptance while connecting self-love, confidence, and comfort with athleisure consumption. Although body neutrality emphasizes bodily capability over appearance, aesthetic references to body shape, silhouette, visuality, and style remain present. Thus, the article both challenges conventional beauty norms and rearticulate them through the language of empowerment, comfort, and self-acceptance within consumer culture.

Abstract

In the perspective of systemic functional linguistics (SFL), interpersonal meaning is realized through the mood system, which reflects how language is used to exchange information, goods, and services. This study aims to examine the interpersonal realization of lexicogrammatical features in the reading texts of an English for Computer textbook used by university students in Indonesia. The study employed qualitative content analysis, with data drawn from 10 reading texts in an English for Computer textbook (ECT). The data consisted of 628 clauses, which were analyzed based on the mood system, particularly the distribution of declarative, interrogative, and imperative clauses and their interpersonal functions. The findings reveal that the reading texts are predominantly characterized by declarative clauses, indicating that the texts primarily serve an information-giving function. Interrogative and imperative clauses occur less frequently, suggesting limited use of language for demanding information or directing readers to perform particular actions. The predominance of declarative mood reflects the pedagogical orientation of the textbook towards presenting factual and technical information to learners of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). These findings demonstrate how mood choices contribute to the construction of interpersonal meaning in English for Computer reading texts and highlight the importance of mood realization in shaping the communicative and pedagogical functions of ESP materials.
