Abstract

This study investigates the plural meaning and expression of countable nouns in Chinese and Indonesian from morphological and syntactic perspectives and explores implications for language pedagogy. Although both languages encode plurality, they employ distinct mechanisms, which may pose challenges for Indonesian learners of Chinese. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach, data were drawn from scholarly studies, Chinese teaching materials, and reference sources such as dictionaries. Analysis focused on morphological markers, including affixation and reduplication, as well as syntactic structures, such as numeral–classifier phrases and quantifiers constructions. The findings show that Chinese expresses plurality through the suffix –men, classifier-based syntactic patterns, and quantifiers, whereas Indonesian primarily relies on reduplication, including noun and adjective reduplication, mechanisms that are limited or absent in Chinese. Indonesian can also employ quantifiers such as beberapa ‘some/several’ and classifier-based syntactic patterns, which partly overlap with Chinese strategies. These results highlight structural contrasts between the two languages and provide practical insights for teaching, and dictionary explanations aimed at Indonesian learners of Chinese.

Abstract

This study examines the deconstruction of female gender stereotypes through the character Yuna in the game Ghost of Tsushima. The analysis employs a qualitative approach that explores narrative, visual, and gameplay aspects. The theoretical framework draws on Judith Butler’s gender performativity, Marie-Laure Ryan’s digital narrative theory, and Stuart Hall’s representation theory to identify forms of resistance to traditional gender norms reflected in the game industry. The findings indicate that Yuna emerges as an active agent who influences the protagonist’s ideological development, plays a significant role in shaping the overall narrative direction, and avoids visual objectification. This study is expected to contribute to gender studies in interactive media and highlight the potential of video games as a medium capable of presenting more inclusive and progressive representations of women in popular culture.

Abstract

This study explores the representation and construction of gender identity and motherhood of transgender women within the Philippine society, focusing on Jun R. Lana’s 2016 film, Die Beautiful. Recognizing the increasing visibility of the queer community in media and social discourse, the research aims to analyze how the film reflects and challenges the binary construction of gender and societal gender norms using the theory of gender performativity by Judith Butler from her book Gender Trouble. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, specifically the conventional method, selected scenes were examined to identify instances of gender performance and explore how social expectations influence gender identity and expression. The findings suggest that Die Beautiful strongly exemplifies gender as performative, highlighting that identity is constructed through repeated actions and social influences rather than innate traits. The film’s nuanced portrayal of transgender individuals’ struggles and self-expression contributes to a small theoretical framework that affirms gender performativity as a means to challenge binary notions and promote inclusivity within the Philippine culture.

Abstract

This article offers a reinterpretation of the Kutika manuscript from a Buginese ethnoecological perspective. Departing from a philological study of the Lontara’ Kutika text in the National Library of Indonesia (PNRI) collection (code VT 129), this research examines how Buginese communities articulate their interaction with nature through this manuscript. The Kutika text has generally been understood merely as a book of time calculation, yet its background is imbued with philosophical values that show how the Buginese talk to nature, read signs, and treat nature as an equal element rather than a mere object. Using the framework of human ecology, this study describes the ethnoecological concepts embedded in the Kutika text. Philosophically, human ecology is built upon an ontological view that does not separate humans from their environment. Humans see themselves as an integral part of an ecosystem, a living space with functional relationships between social and biophysical systems that cannot be separated. This view is in line with Buginese beliefs that every natural element has a spirit and exerts influence on human life. The research specifically aims to interpret the maritime traditions contained in the Kutika text from a human ecological perspective. More broadly, it contributes to scholarship by introducing local knowledge of the Bugis community, derived from centuries of observation and reflection, which remains applicable to contemporary discussions of human–environment relations.

Abstract

Stand-up comedy can challenge dominant discourses and dismantle stereotypes. This research focuses on an Indonesian female stand-up comedian, Sakdiyah Ma’ruf. Using textual analysis, the study investigates recorded performances available on YouTube between 2014 and 2025. Sakdiyah addresses critical social issues, including religious fundamentalism, terrorism, sexism, and gender-based violence. The study explores how she constructs her comedic persona through narratives of personal identity and social critique, and how she employs humor to negotiate sensitive topics while remaining acceptable to diverse audiences. Findings reveal that her themes remain consistent across performances, while her humor strategies, including structured narratives, deliberate word choices, and subtle satire, allow her to transform critique into accessible and empowering comedy. Furthermore, her adaptation to various platforms, ranging from digital media to mainstream television, underscores the multidimensional nature of her comedy and her ability to challenge social norms.

Abstract

Despite the increasing trend of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in higher education in Indonesia, studies focusing on professional development for EMI lecturers remains scarce. Given the pivotal role lecturers have in the success of EMI programs, it is essential that these lecturers are provided with the necessary training and support to effectively deliver their courses in English and make well-informed pedagogical choices. This paper aims to investigate necessary sets of skills and competences required by EMI lecturers and rationales for incorporating them in EMI teacher training programs. This study employed a qualitative approach. It involved a critical review of studies to examine EMI professional development programs in various countries. The findings suggest that EMI lecturers should have various competences that include but are not limited to linguistic competence and pedagogical competence due to the complex nature of EMI programs. Suggestions to select and incorporate them in lecturer training programs are also provided in this paper.

Abstract

The phenomenon of cross-border marriages between Vietnamese women and Chinese men is often reduced by mainstream media to simplified stereotypes—depicting them as victims of human trafficking, impoverished women seeking economic escape, or submissive "imported brides." Such depictions obscure the everyday realities through which these women confront and negotiate social stigma in a foreign socio-cultural environment. Drawing on narrative interviews with ten Vietnamese brides living in different regions of China, this study examines how stigma is experienced and negotiated through everyday survival strategies. Using a qualitative narrative approach, this research explores how participants respond to stigma through practices such as economic self-reliance, language acquisition, domestic labor, community-building, and selective identity performance. Rather than viewing identity as fixed, the findings suggest that hybrid or dual identities emerge through ongoing negotiations shaped by daily survival and social expectations. In this process, being “Chinese” in certain familial contexts while remaining “Vietnamese” within personal and community spaces becomes a practical way of maintaining dignity and stability.

Abstract

The 2027 French presidential election has become a contest over political legitimacy, and the media play a key role in shaping candidates’ images. Within the right-wing camp, Rassemblement National (RN) presents two potential figures, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. Le Pen faces legal threats that could prevent her candidacy, while Bardella is projected as a successor to represent RN in the contest. Drawing on framing theory Pan & Kosicki (1993) and Critical Discourse Analysis Fairclough (1995), this qualitative study investigates right-wing French media preferences between these two candidates. The analysis examines three articles each from Le Figaro and Le Point. Framing analysis finds that Le Figaro places Le Pen at the center through syntactic framing that reinforces her legitimacy. By contrast, Le Point foregrounds Bardella’s readiness and leadership capacity through marked rhetorical structures. CDA corroborates these results by revealing divergent editorial focuses. At the macro level, Le Figaro projects a populist image by positioning Le Pen as RN’s emblematic opposition to the government, whereas Le Point exemplifies RN’s de-demonization by giving Bardella space to craft a more moderate, broadly acceptable party image. These findings offer practical guidance for politicians seeking targeted media engagement.

Abstract

This study examines the media presentation of Bali on the Rednote platform, and explores how content creators can build Bali into an idealized tropical lifestyle space. The research selects four videos related to Bali produced by Rednote content creator Bi Lu Si Bruce (Hong Kong House Tour Original as the object of analysis, and uses qualitative research methods combined with semiotic analysis to investigate Cultural symbols conveyed in video visual images and language narratives. The research draws on Hall’s (1997) Cultural Representation theory, Urry’s (1990) Tourist Gaze theory, MacCannell’s (1976) Staged Authenticity theory, and Lefebvre’s (1991) theory of the production of space analyze how meaning is generated through images, discourse and emotional interaction, and also integrate the concept of emotional consistency of Peltari (2022) to explain how audience comments participate in the reproduction of Balinese images. The findings indicate that, through diverse cultural symbols, these videos represent Bali as an idealized Other, a tropical space closely connected to nature, and a site of comfortable residential living, which is further reinforced through affective identification in the comment sections, generating cultural meanings associated with naturalness, relaxation, and healing.

Abstract

Since COVID-19, Zoom has become the primary distance communication platform integrated with automatic transcription tools such as Otter and Descript. However, meetings involving non-native French speakers can generate sound interference that reduces transcription accuracy. This study compares the automatic French transcription quality of both tools in corporate online meetings affected by interference from native Indonesian speakers. The data consists of online meeting recordings of Indonesian speakers in French based on the textbook, Affaires.com. The analysis applies Weinreich’s (2010) interference theory, Le Querler’s (1994) word class theory, Word Error Rate, and Tholly et al.’s (2025) severity levels of automatic French transcription errors. The results show that both tools produced accurate transcriptions in the 10% error range, with Otter (10.18%) being slightly more accurate than Descript (10.22%). Regarding interference, phonetic–non-phonemic errors were the easiest to handle, while phonological–grammatical errors were the most difficult for both tools. Most of Otter’s errors fall into the most severe Fail category, causing incomprehensibility, influenced by its stronger language understanding. Meanwhile, Descript shows more Gram-level errors, which remain understandable but reflect weaker language understanding. Therefore, Otter is recommended for its stronger language comprehension, whereas Descript is recommended because its errors are still intelligible.
