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.

Abstract

The Niger Delta crisis in southern Nigeria has produced profound ecological devastation and entrenched human suffering, yet its literary and psychological dimensions remain insufficiently theorised within African trauma studies and postcolonial literary criticism. This study investigates Helon Habila's Oil on Water (2010), a work of hybrid narrative fiction documenting the environmental violence, political displacement, and communal disintegration wrought by petroleum extraction in Nigeria's oil-producing south, as a site of literary, political, and ethical inquiry. The study aims to analyse how Habila constructs his narrative as an act of literary witness that transforms individual and ecological suffering into collective political testimony, while foregrounding a distinctly petro-spatial configuration of trauma shaped by environmental collapse, institutional abandonment, and necropolitical governance. Employing a qualitative, text-based methodology grounded in close reading, the study draws on trauma theory, frameworks of complex PTSD, necropolitics, and the concept of atmospheric violence. The findings reveal that petro-trauma in the text operates through ecological disintegration, psychic fragmentation, and the structural erasure of communal identity — symptoms of a postcolonial state and multinational extractive order that render oil-producing populations simultaneously indispensable and expendable. The study contributes to African ecocriticism and postcolonial literary scholarship by establishing Oil on Water as a significant text in the genre of literary witness, while proposing extractive capitalism and corporate complicity as productive analytical trajectories in postcolonial African conflict literature. Ultimately, the study affirms that literature remains an indispensable counter-archive of political memory and a vehicle for challenging dominant discourses of petroleum wealth.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the types, strategies, and sociopragmatic functions of directive speech acts in online buying and selling interactions on Shopee. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design supported by descriptive statistical tabulation and content analysis. The qualitative design was used to interpret the social meaning of utterances, while frequency and percentage were used to map the tendency of directive categories in the corpus. The data consisted of 156 directive speech acts taken proportionally from three communication channels: seller-buyer chat features, product reviews, and live promotions. Data classification was conducted using operational coding criteria for eight directive categories and strengthened through contextual checking and inter-coder discussion to maintain coding consistency. The analysis shows that the most dominant type is suggesting, with 45 data points (28.85%), followed by requesting 33 (21.15%), commanding 24 (15.38%), inviting 18 (11.54%), advising 14 (8.97%), prohibiting 9 (5.77%), permitting 7 (4.49%), and urging 6 (3.85%). Direct speech acts appear most frequently, with 92 data points (58.97%), followed by literal indirect speech acts 39 (25.00%) and non-literal indirect speech acts 25 (16.03%). Sociopragmatically, these frequencies serve as an entry point for interpreting power relations, politeness, and persuasion based on utterance context, speaker position, and channel characteristics. The use of “kak,” “mohon,” and familiarity markers is interpreted as a relational strategy that may support trust and rapport, although its direct effect on transaction success requires further empirical testing.

Abstract

Health-facility signage in multilingual postcolonial societies does more than instruct patients: it allocates communicative authority, marks the languages of biomedical legitimacy, and determines whose linguistic repertoire counts as adequate for independent engagement with the written health-care environment. This study examines how language choice in health signage constructs a stratified semiotic order in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria, drawing on a photographic corpus of one hundred and ten items documented across primary health-care centres, referral hospitals, a federal teaching hospital, private medical facilities, and NGO premises spanning Ibi, Wukari, Takum, Donga, and Ussa Local Government Areas. Using a qualitative multi-site linguistic landscape design, the study analyses signage across five dimensions: producer category, language choice, communicative register, spatial emplacement, and health literacy implications. The analysis is theorised through linguistic landscape theory (Landry & Bourhis, 1997; Ben-Rafael et al., 2006), geosemiotics (Scollon & Scollon, 2003), orders of indexicality (Blommaert, 2010), postcolonial critiques of development discourse (Escobar, 1995; Mignolo, 2000), and health literacy theory (Nutbeam, 2000). The findings demonstrate that English dominates health signage across all producer categories such as governmental, international-donor, NGO, pharmaceutical, and private, while the indigenous community languages of Southern Taraba (Jukun, Kuteb, Tiv, Chamba) are entirely absent from all documented signage. Two items introduce Hausa, a regional lingua franca, as a partial secondary code, revealing a graduated linguistic hierarchy. The article introduces graduated structural exclusion — the condition in which selective lingua franca accommodation performs multilingual outreach while leaving indigenous language marginalisation intact — as a contribution to linguistic landscape studies, postcolonial health communication scholarship, and language planning policy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Arabic word categories, namely ism, fi'il, and harf, in the short story Abdullah wa al-Ushfur using CAMeL Tools. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach assisted by Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology. The data consisted of the text of Abdullah wa al-Ushfur, obtained from the muthala'ah materials of the Kulliyatul Mu'allimin al-Islamiyah (KMI) second grade. The analysis was conducted using the Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging feature in CAMeL Tools to automatically identify word classes based on their grammatical functions. The findings revealed that CAMeL Tools successfully identified various word classes, which were subsequently classified into the three primary categories of Arabic grammar: ism, fi'il, and harf. The category of ism was frequently used to refer to characters, objects, places, and conditions within the story, while fi'il contributed to the development of the narrative through the characters' actions. Meanwhile, harf functioned as a linking element that maintained the coherence of sentence structures. The findings suggest that CAMeL Tools can support Arabic linguistic analysis in a more systematic and efficient manner. This study is expected to contribute to technology-based Arabic linguistic studies and serve as a reference for future research integrating NLP into the analysis of Arabic literary texts.
