Abstract

Semantics is a discipline of linguistics that deeply examines the meaning of words, encompassing the origins of their formation, the process of evolution, and the historical factors that trigger shifts in meaning within a language. In semantic studies, a fundamental distinction is made between denotative meaning, which refers to the literal or actual meaning, and connotative meaning, which carries emotional value or a non-actual, figurative sense. This research focuses on analyzing the variation of both types of meaning in Tere Liye's novel Bulan, with the main objective of comprehensively describing the manifestation of denotative and connotative expressions. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, where the researcher acts as the key instrument (human instrument). This method is also known as the naturalistic approach, as data collection takes place under natural object conditions, with data analysis heavily emphasizing the in-depth qualitative aspects. The results of the study indicate that the use of denotative meaning has a much more dominant frequency than connotative meaning. This dominance occurs because the majority of the narrative in the novel tends to utilize the actual, lexical meaning. This signals the author’s (Tere Liye’s) intention to present the adventure story with straightforward and transparent language, allowing the reader to easily comprehend the storyline without being hindered by the complexity of figurative meaning interpretation.

Abstract

The fundamental issue in sustainable tourism management that remains less than optimal can be seen from the limited involvement of local communities and the lack of integrated management of tourism potential in the Pura Maduwe Karang area. The purpose of this study is to analyze sustainable tourism management in the management of Pura Maduwe Karang. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method through observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. The theoretical foundations used include the concepts of Sustainable Tourism, the Triple Bottom Line, and Tourism Impact Theory.The results show that the implementation of sustainable tourism management at Pura Maduwe Karang is still basic and has not been structured professionally. The socio-cultural aspect is relatively well preserved through customary roles and ceremonial activities; however, the economic aspect has not provided significant benefits for individuals in the local community, as contributions remain limited to collective interests of the traditional village. The environmental aspect is currently well maintained due to the temple’s sacred status but may decline if tourist numbers increase without proper management. The main constraints lie in the lack of promotion, facilities, and human resource capacity in management. This study emphasizes the importance of tourism management strategies that balance the dimensions of profit, people, and planet, and encourages collaboration among traditional villages, local governments, and communities to maintain the sustainability of the temple as both a cultural heritage site and a tourist destination.

Abstract

This research analyzes the phenomenon of identity concealment bu the main character in the anime 91 Days, Angelo Lagusa, who disguises himself as Avilio Bruno to revenge his family’s murder. The focus of this research is to identify and classify the ego defense mechanisms by Sigmund Freud employed by Angelo thoughout this process of concealment. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method and a literary psychology approach, this research aims to provide a detailed description of how ego defense mechanism is manifested in the character’s actions and behavior. Data was collected through direct observation of all episodes in the series. The analysis reveals that four primary ego defense mechanisms are predominant. These four primary ego defense mechanisms are repression, sublimation, displacement and rationalization. Repression emerges as the most prominent mechanism, characterized by Angelo’s constant effort to suppress emotional drives (id), particularly in pain, rage and trauma into the subconscious to prevent them from interfering with his primary mission. Meanwhile, sublimation is evident when he channels his emotional energy into strategic and structured planning for his revenge. Displacement is observed in moments where his anger is redirected toward less threatening targets. Furthermore, rationalization is used by Angelo to justify his harsh and cruel actions with the logic of vengeance and justice. This research concludes that Angelo as Avilio in disguise is not merely a narrative strategy but an external representation of a complex internal psychological dynamic, where the ego functions as a mediator between the demands of the emotional id and the constraints of reality. Through this analysis, this research is expected to contribute to development of literary psychology studies, particularly in understanding the psychological construction of fictional characters through a Freudian theoretical lens.

Abstract

This study examines the use of keigo (honorific speech) by the character Togo Nitta in the Japanese drama Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi. The research focuses on identifying the forms of keigo employed by the main character in his communicative interactions. The method applied is the observational note-taking technique, which involves carefully watching the drama, transcribing all utterances containing keigo and subsequently conducting a qualitative analysis. The data analyses employ Tsujimura’s (1991) framework of keigo, which classifies honorific expressions into three primary categories. These categories are sonkeigo (respectful language), kenjogo (humble language) and teineigo (polite language). The finding indicates that teineigo dominates Togo Nitta’s use of keigo. This form is consistently utilized to refine conversation and express politeness between the speaker and interlocutor, irrespective of relative social status. Specifically, the study identifies four lexemes realized in teineigo form and three lexemes in kenjogo form. The use of kenjogo generally occurs in contexts where Togo Nitta needs to humble himself or his in group (uchi) towards an interlocutor of higher status. These findings suggest that the character’s politeness and adapting to social norms across various situasions, as represented within the drama’s narrative.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the underlying causes of low interest in Arabic language learning and to formulate pedagogical solutions through the integration of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), Cooperative Learning, and the PAKEM (Active, Creative, Effective, and Joyful Learning) framework. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research method, this study critically analyzes data to identify epistemological, affective, and pedagogical barriers in Arabic instruction, while exploring the potential interventions of the three aforementioned strategies.The findings indicate that the decline in student interest is primarily driven by material abstraction, language anxiety, and passive instructional methods. The integration of these three strategies offers a complementary and holistic solution: CTL addresses cognitive barriers by contextualizing material into meaningful learning experiences; Cooperative Learning mitigates affective obstacles by fostering psychological safety through peer support; and PAKEM overcomes motoric-engagement barriers by stimulating joyful, active participation. The synergy of these strategies effectively shifts the instructional paradigm from passive-instructional to active-participatory, fundamentally reconstructing and enhancing student engagement and interest in Arabic language acquisition.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of heroism in the character of Joshua Taylor in The Creator (2023) using Christopher Vogler’s Hero’s Journey framework. In modern cinema, heroism is no longer limited to physical strength or traditional bravery but is often defined through moral struggle, emotional conflict, and ethical decisions in complex situations. Joshua represents a modern hero whose journey unfolds amid a global conflict between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). This research applies a qualitative descriptive method with a structural mapping technique to analyze Joshua’s narrative progression across the stages of Vogler’s Hero’s Journey. The findings show that Joshua’s heroism is constructed through moral transformation, sacrifice, and his shift from a disillusioned soldier to a protector figure who prioritizes life and empathy over ideology. His journey highlights that modern heroism is rooted in ethical awareness and personal redemption rather than dominance or power, it reflects cinematic developments in depicting heroism that are more relevant to today's social and technological context.
