Abstract

This study examines the discourse systematics used in the online loan collection speeches in the Indonesian language. Online loans are one of the financial services that are widely used by the people nowadays. However, the efforts to collect these loans have raised issues within the community. This study aims to elaborate on the speech acts and systematics forming the discourse of online loan collection. This study is using 50 screenshots of online loan collection messages on Instagram accounts as the data source. Research data is in the form of speeches used by the creditors to collect debt from the debtors. The analysis was carried out using Beller's (2005) threatening speech approach. Based on these study results, the systematics of online loan collection discourse consists of four constructions, namely (i) conditional form, (ii) conjunctive form, (iii) disjunctive form, (iv) and temporal form.

Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the capabilities of Instagram translation feature in translating Arabic Islamic poetry, a literary genre rich in linguistic nuances and cultural context. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis between the automatic translations produced by Instagram and manual translations done by experts. The findings reveal that, despite being useful, Instagram's translation feature often fails to fully capture the essence of Arabic Islamic poetry, with significant errors in understanding context and language nuances. These errors include inaccuracies in translating key words and difficulties in interpreting deeper meanings often closely tied to cultural and historical contexts. The study highlights the limitations of automatic translation technology when dealing with complex, layered texts, emphasizing the importance of additional resources such as manual translation and cultural knowledge in understanding poetry. The research recommendations stress using Instagram's translation feature as an initial tool for basic text comprehension, not as the primary source. These findings open an important discourse on the need to develop translation technologies more sensitive to cultural and linguistic contexts, as well as the importance of a more humane and contextual approach in the translation process. This research contributes significantly to the fields of applied linguistics, translation, and social media studies.

Abstract

The shroud, a textile used to wrap and accompany humans in death, is far from a simple object. Within Islamic traditions, the white cloth applied to the deceased's body takes on various changes, modifications, and deeper meanings when individuals contextualize their own beliefs and experiences through it. This study focuses on the shroud's role in Islamic death rituals in Java, revealing a multiplicity of meanings as theorized by Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of heteroglossia. By employing a pragmatic semiotic approach, this research interprets and analyses the symbols that emerge from the contextualization of these textiles within Javanese death rituals. The study’s significance lies in its exploration of the cultural richness and symbolism associated with shrouds in Javanese Islam, thereby shedding light on the intricate interplay between religion and culture in shaping human experiences and beliefs around death.

Abstract

The conflict in Papua represents a complex interplay of identity, sovereignty, and historical grievances, shaped by structural violence and socio-political exclusion. This study explores strategies for advancing peace-building and justice in Papua, drawing on Johan Galtung’s theory of peace and conflict and comparative lessons from the Aceh conflict in Indonesia and the Irish Republican Army’s (IRA) struggle in South Ireland. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing root causes such as historical injustices, economic inequality, and cultural exclusion. Inclusive governance and dialogues that respect ethnic diversity and local identities are critical to creating sustainable solutions. Case studies reveal that effective conflict resolution integrates local aspirations with broader national goals, utilizing participatory approaches to foster reconciliation and long-term stability. Lessons from Aceh and South Ireland underscore the need for transformative justice frameworks that prioritize structural change and community empowerment. This research contributes a comprehensive framework for addressing Papua's unique challenges by combining theoretical insights and practical lessons, advocating for policies that balance national unity with local self-determination. It calls for state and community collaboration to promote inclusivity, accountability, and sustainable peace in Papua.

Abstract

The Brexit referendum has stimulated European media to highlight the impact for Britain and other European Union countries. As a country established with two different political ideologies, French media has the ability to cover the latest global issues from the point of view of their political ideology. This research aims to see whether the French media shows a negative framing towards Britain and maintains the media ideology, right (Le Figaro) and center-left (Le Monde), in publicizing the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the cancer diagnosis of King Charles III. This qualitative research uses the Creswell (2014) method, syntactic theory by Le Querler (1994), and media framing by Pan & Kosicki (1993). The research found that there is no negative sentiment from French media towards Britain. However, Le Figaro’s coverage reflects a negative framing towards the news of Charles III's current health. This is evidenced through the usage of simple sentences (les phrases simples) with a direct approach in Le Figaro’s headlines to give the impression of its focus to the continuation of the monarchy. By contrast, Le Monde’s coverage tends to use compound sentences (les phrases complexes) in the headlines with a descriptive content that focuses on the reader’s emotions. The dismantling script and rhetorical structure of news media framing by Pan & Kosicki (1993) are the essential elements of this research to identify how the French media frames news regarding two leaders of the British monarchy.

Abstract

In the digital era, social media has become an important marketing tool for businesses, including the culinary industry. This study examines the use of motion graphics to develop the social media presence of Rarampa Resto and Bar, a restaurant serving Manado cuisine and healthy MSG-free food, located in South Jakarta. Although the restaurant has a loyal customer base, particularly from the 40-60 age group, its social media content fails to attract younger audiences, especially millennials, who seek unique and authentic culinary experiences. This study suggests that Rarampa's social media content, which mainly focuses on event photography and the restaurant's ambiance, is ineffective in capturing the attention of younger audiences. Therefore, the use of illustrations and motion graphics is proposed to create more dynamic and appealing visual content. By incorporating semi-cartoon illustration styles and motion graphic elements, Rarampa can build a stronger visual identity, engage younger audiences, and increase interaction on social media. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study are expected to provide insights on how to optimize the use of motion graphics to attract younger audiences and enhance the visual appeal of Rarampa Resto and Bar's social media.

Abstract

This study explores the process of constructing the image of the “ideal wife” in intercultural marriages, using the video Younger Singapore Men Looking for Vietnam Brides as a case study. It analyzes the economic and cultural motivations of Singaporean men in choosing Vietnamese wives. By applying Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity and Henri Tajfel’s social identity theory, the study examines how Vietnamese brides are symbolized as the “ideal partner” and how this phenomenon reflects modern gender role conflicts and identity reconstruction. Through an analysis of interviews in the video and relevant comments, the research reveals the dynamic interaction between gender expectations, economic considerations, and cultural identity. This study also offers a new perspective on understanding gender culture and social structures in cross-border marriages in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study explores the moral ontology of law within the framework of Legal Realism, contextualizing law as both a social institution and an institution of justice. Drawing on Joseph Raz's perspectives on practical reason, normativity, and the foundations of norms, the analysis examines how law, as a practical guide, inherently carries moral dimensions in regulating social interactions and pursuing justice. Legal Realism frames law as a dynamic product of human interaction within a social context, while Raz's philosophical insights illuminate the interplay between practical reasoning, normativity, and legal structures. By focusing on the moral underpinnings of legal norms, this paper seeks to address how law as an institution can uphold social legitimacy while meeting the demands of justice. The analysis offers a conceptual framework to understand the role of moral ontology in modern legal systems, particularly in navigating legal pluralism and societal complexity.
