Abstract

Both individually and collectively, people hold in high esteem things that make them unique at different points in intergroup interaction. People and groups pride themselves on the traits that set them apart from others (Harwood 2006). They hold the idea of identity negotiation and maintenance dear in their minds and continuously strive to make subtle statements about these various shades of identity. It is against the aforementioned that the present study examines how Naija is deployed in the construction of national identity and loyalty to a collective sense of belonging by Nigerians in online interaction. Drawing data from Nigeria’s leading online community (www.nairaland.com) and insights from Group Attachment Theory (GAT), the study demonstrates how Nigerians in online interaction construct national pride and identity, linguistic uniqueness, and loyalty to their country of birth through the use of Naija.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how silence and omission in literary trauma narratives are linguistically encoded through transitivity structures within the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework. While prior research has examined trauma disclosure and silence as social or psychological phenomena, the systematic grammatical encoding of omission has received less attention. Using Hanya Yanagihara's a Little Life as a case study, a qualitative textual analysis was performed following a three-step process: identifying passages relevant to trauma, segmenting clauses and coding transitivity across six process categories, and aggregating and interpreting patterns. A total of 149 clauses were examined. The analysis revealed 64 instances of omission, demonstrating that omission is a systematic component of the data. Omission patterns include Senser omission in 23% of Mental processes, Actor omission in 33% of Material processes, Verbiage omission in 50% of Verbal processes, Carrier omission in 14% of Relational processes, and Process omission in 50% of Existential processes. Existential and verbal processes comprise only 1% and 8% of all clauses, respectively. These results demonstrate that silence in trauma narratives represents a structured grammatical decision rather than a mere absence of language, providing a replicable framework for analyzing omission and advancing both linguistic analysis and trauma studies

Abstract

This study critically examines the potentials and limitations of a bilingual (Javanese-Indonesian) children’s storybook program as a strategy for Javanese language revitalization, using the initiative by the East Java Language Center as a case study. The decline of Javanese among the younger generation, particularly in urban areas, has reached a stage of cultural distortion, necessitating deliberate revitalization efforts. Employing a qualitative instrumental case study design, this research draws on documentary analysis of institutional social media, semi-structured interviews with program coordinators and selected authors, and participant observation as a contesting writer. Data were analyzed thematically using Wallace’s revitalization theory and Fishman’s framework of intergenerational language transmission. The findings reveal that the program systematically follows key revitalization stages: basic planning, material development, readability testing, digitalization, and school-based implementation. Bilingual storybooks integrate local Javanese cultural values, STEAM content, and attractive illustrations, making the language more accessible to children aged 7–13 years. However, critical limitations are identified, including a low manuscript acceptance rate (20%), absence of quantitative readability test results, lack of impact evaluation data, and unresolved digital divides in rural areas. Digital formats (flipbooks, audiobooks) remain underutilized without proven effectiveness. Braille versions and deaf community involvement demonstrate promising inclusivity practices. This study contributes a balanced model for language revitalization through bilingual children’s literature and recommends longitudinal impact studies and teacher-parent empowerment for sustainable intergenerational transmission.

Abstract

Having a positive attitude is a fundamental aspect that affects students’ success in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to describe Acehnese students’ attitudes toward English learning in terms of knowledge, emotion, and behavior. This study employed a descriptive qualitative study. 30 students from the seventh grade of SMPN 1 (Junior High School), Darul Imarah, the Greater Aceh regency, participated in this study. The data were collected using a questionnaire and an interview. The findings of questionnaire analysis showed students attained useful knowledge and information, felt thrilled, and were well encouraged when learning English. The interview analysis revealed that female students have a more positive attitude than male students in learning English. The interesting finding from this study is that the positive attitudes of research participants do not always have a good impact on students’ English learning outcomes. Students who give good responses to English learning, but they get low scores. Conversely, those who have negative responses; they have high scores in English learning. It indicates that between students’ attitude and their learning outcome toward English learning, do not correlate one another. This study brings both theoretical and practical implications for further research investigations about how the attitude positively affects students’ English learning achievement. The findings of the present study suggest that the forthcoming studies may probe other factors that have a mutual relationship between attitude and learning outcomes.
