Abstract

Text classification attempts to assign written texts to specific group types that share the same linguistic features. One class of features that have been widely employed for a wide range of classification tasks is lexical features. This study explores the impact of stemming on text classification using lexical features. To explore, this study is based on a corpus of thirty texts written by six authors with topics that focus on politics, history, science, prose, sport, and food. These texts are stemmed using a light stemming algorithm. In order to classify these texts according to the topic by means of lexical features, linear hierarchical clustering and non-linear clustering (SOM) is carried out on the stemmed and unstemmed texts. Although both clustering methods are able to classify texts by topic with two models produce accurate and stable results, the results suggest that the impact of a light stemming on the accuracy of text classification by topic is ineffectual. The accuracy is neither increased nor decreased on the stemmed texts, whereby the stemming algorithm helped reducing the dimensionality of feature vector space model.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the moves and steps of the CARS model contained in the final project of Genre Analysis (GA) of English language education for students in Indonesia. This study aims to describe the moves and steps of the Creating a Research Space (CARS) model that is presented in the English-language students' Genre Analysis (GA) theses of several universities in Indonesia. The model used in this study is the CARS model of Swales which consists of three moves. The research method is qualitative. The data in this study are five abstract scripts of students of the English Language Education study program available in Indonesia. Two abstract scripts were obtained from the document repository of the University of Education Indonesia and three abstracts from the documents of the Islamic University of Indonesia for 2023. The data collection technique used is the library, which is the primary data source for the written source. The data analysis techniques used qualitative descriptive techniques. These results show that the Creating a Research Space (CARS) model developed by Swales can be effectively applied to the analysis of abstract genres in English language student scripts. All moves and steps in the CARS model, ie M-1 (creating analysis fields), M-2 (solving problems in analysis), and M-3 (absorbing problems), can be clearly identified in the abstract scripts studied. From this point of view, the researchers emphasize that applying the CARS model not only helps in abstract structural analysis but also provides a deeper insight into how to compose an informative, coherent, and consistent with academic standards.

Abstract

In an era where environmental degradation is accelerating due to human activities, research on ecology has become very important. For this reason, Sugiarto B. Darmawan's poems are important to explore the relationship between humans and nature. The purpose of this research is to explore the poems of Sugiarto B. Darmawan in the perspective of literary ecocriticism. The research data source is a poem by Sugiarto B. Darmawan published in the Borobudur Festival Writers. The research method uses hermeneutics. The study results show that the poems by Sugiarto B. Darmawan represent environmental wisdom. Literary ecocriticism in Sugiarto B. Darmawan's poem describes the beauty and diversity of nature and its interaction with human life. In his poems, Sugiarto B. Darmawan lovingly and appreciatively describes the flora and fauna that adorn the surrounding nature, from the birds that enliven the morning with their chirping, to the various types of trees and plants that cover the hills and valleys. These poems invite readers to reflect on the importance of maintaining the balance of nature. The lives of animals and plants described in his poem show how nature and humans are interdependent. A harmonious life in nature reflects the balance that humans must maintain. The practical implication of this study is the use of literature as a tool for education and public awareness about the importance of protecting the environment. By depicting the beauty and diversity of nature, as well as the negative impacts of environmental damage, these poems can be an effective tool to inspire conservation and conservation actions.

Abstract

This study investigates the linguistic patterns of code-switching and code-mixing between Bahasa Indonesia and Batak languages among students at Catholic University of Saint Thomas to explore their impact on academic and social communication. The study utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in ethnographic and discourse analysis frameworks to examine natural interactions within WhatsApp group chats and face-to-face communications. These frameworks allow for an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of bilingual usage and the social functions of language switching in real-life contexts. The study identifies several typical patterns: frequency of switching correlates with the formality of the setting, with more frequent switching in informal contexts, and functional usage where students switch languages to clarify concepts or strengthen social bonds. The analysis reveals that 70% of bilingual students report positive social impacts from code-switching, such as enhanced communication efficiency, cultural identity expression, and academic collaboration. However, 30% of student’s experience anxiety or feelings of exclusion due to limited fluency in dominant languages, which affects their sense of belonging and academic engagement. These findings highlight the dual nature of code-switching as both a facilitator of communication and a potential barrier in multilingual environments. The study suggests that educational policies at the University of Saint Thomas should support a more inclusive multilingual environment to address the diverse linguistic needs of all students, thereby enhancing cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes.

Abstract

This study explored the use of directive speech acts by the main characters in the film Barbie and the Three Musketeers. The primary objective was to identify and analyze the types of directive speech acts employed, drawing on Searle's theory. A descriptive qualitative approach was utilized to dissect the dialogue in the film, which revealed nine distinct types of directive speech acts: requesting (12 instances), ordering (11 instances), commanding (8 instances), advising (7 instances), challenging (5 instances), permitting (4 instances), inviting (4 instances), begging (4 instances), and prohibiting (2 instances). The analysis highlighted how these speech acts were integral to the characters' interactions and their quest to become female musketeers, a role traditionally seen as male-dominated. The directive speech acts reflected the characters' emotions and propelled the narrative forward, illustrating their determination, resourcefulness, and collaboration. Challenging societal stereotypes, the characters used directive speech acts to assert their agency and challenged the notion that musketeering was exclusively for men. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language functioned in animated films to shape character development and advance thematic elements.

Abstract

This paper examines the possibility of adoption of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in Nigerian secondary schools especially those in Osun State, Nigeria in the light of recent developments necessitating greater familiarity with the computer by the students for their external examinations. The paper argues that secondary school students are more positioned now than ever to harness the benefits of CALL in developing necessary competences to excel in their English language exams and generally develop adequate proficiency in the language for their growth in the Nigerian nation and beyond. Data for the study comprise responses to questionnaires designed for secondary school students, English language teachers and Ministry of Education senior officials in Osun State Nigeria. The sample comprised 120 teachers across the three senatorial districts in Osun State, 36 teachers and 15 Ministry of Education officials. Data analysis revealed that there is great awareness of CALL among all the categories of subjects. In addition, the subjects emphasise the potential agency of CALL for enhancing the delivery of English language topics and the professional development of teachers, even though about 30 percent of the teachers sampled doubted its feasibility. The study therefore concludes that given the positive disposition of students to the introduction of CALL for English language teaching and being primary actors in the education process, there is need for immediate full-fledged adoption for English language teaching in Nigerian secondary schools.

Abstract

This study investigates the speech act strategies employed by customer service officers (CSO) in an internet provider company while interacting with customers via WhatsApp Group (WAG) chats. The research aims to identify and analyze the types of speech acts used and examine how cultural and digital token factors specific to Javanese communication norms influence these interactions. In 60 days, data was collected from WAG conversations between customer service representatives and clients using the non-participative observation method. Depth interviews were also conducted with the five CSOs. The analysis employed Speech Act Theory and considers the unique context of computer-mediated communication. Results revealed that CSOs frequently utilized commissive speech acts, confirming speech acts, directive speech acts, phatic speech acts, and expressive speech acts with specific purposes. Culturally, the speech acts were employed to maintain harmony and mitigate potential face-threatening situations. The study also highlights how the CSO adapts traditional Javanese communication styles to the digital medium of WhatsApp. Theoretically, these findings contribute to our understanding of cultural pragmatics in professional settings and empirically offer insights for training customer service personnel in culturally diverse contexts. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of considering cultural nuances in developing effective communication strategies for digital customer service platforms.

Abstract

A sentence is generally construed as a unit which is made up of one or more clauses. Hence, the English simple sentence, made up of a subject and a predicate, contains just a clause which makes a complete thought and expresses a single proposition. Against this backdrop, this study examines the connection between valency and passive voice in the English simple sentence constructions. It further analyses samples of the English simple sentences both from the literature and introspection. As emanations from the English simple sentences, the English passive voice may be devoid of the ‘by-agentive’ phrase. The point just made does not rule out the presence of a predicate in such expressions. Noticeably, both the active and passive voice are connected to the English simple sentences. Employing the approach of Corpus Linguistics to sentence analyses, samples of the English simple sentences gathered from introspection and related literature are considered for analysis. The study re-affirms that there is a connection between valency and passive voice in the English simple sentence constructions. The study further discovers that the presence of referring expressions in both the active and passive voice sentence constructions indicates the number of valency in such constructions. The paper concludes by recommending that valency and passive voice in English grammar be painstakingly taught to both native and non-native learners of English since the former can be used to explain the latter and vice-versa.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the markers of reimagination in fairy tales, especially through the characters. Reimagination is the process of recreating a story or re-imagining an old version of a story and wrapping it in a new perspective. Character reimagination is seen from the movie Once Upon a Crime (2023). The research data source from characters namely Cinderella (Shinderera), Little Red Riding Hood (Akazukin), Fairy Godmother (Witch Barbara and Witch Tekla), Step Sisters (Anne and Margot), Prince Charming (Prince Gilbert), and Gus Gus the Mouse (Porru). Researchers using methods from Spradley's approach, namely the qualitative descriptive method. This research using main theory from Purnomo, Adila, and Adzhani (2023) about reimagination markers; mutation markers and presentness as well as the reimagination function of both related namely stylistic function, ludic function, medial function, branding function, culture function are seen from this research. The results of this study found that reimagination markers, mutation markers and presentness in the change of iconic characters are dominated by stylistic and cultural functions, indicating that reimagination updates from in the movie Once Upon a Crime not only transformed traditional characters into more modern ones, through altered characterizations, classic stories can be kept alive in a modern cultural context.

Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic functions of language and its interplay with non-verbal acts in the formulation and implementation of Minak Pengalun, a traditional herbal medicinal technique originating from the Karo culture of Indonesia. The study uses qualitative research methods, such as ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and participant observations, to reveal how verbal expressions, gestures, and symbolic rituals coalesce to safeguard cultural heritage, convey ecological knowledge, and facilitate holistic healing. Employing Speech Act Theory, the study delineates five pragmatic functions of language in Minak Pengalun: representative acts communicate ecological and procedural knowledge, directive acts direct preparation and ritual execution, commissive acts signify practitioners' dedication to cultural authenticity, expressive acts demonstrate spiritual and emotional connections, and declarative acts affirm and reinforce cultural norms. The interplay between verbal communication and non-verbal rituals, including ingredient preparation and ritual gestures, guarantees the procedural precision and cultural congruence of the activity. The findings underscore Minak Pengalun as a comprehensive tradition in which language serves as a medium for meaning-making, connecting the spiritual, cultural, and ecological aspects of Karo identity. This research underscores the significance of safeguarding both linguistic and ceremonial elements of ancient traditions amidst cultural evaluation while also promoting additional comparative studies and techniques for intergenerational transmission. The study highlights the dynamic relationship between language and action and emphasizes the importance of Minak Pengalun in preserving cultural and natural legacy.
