International Journal Linguistics of Sumatra and Malay is an international forum for leading research on language and society. It is open to both established and innovative approaches to sociolinguistic research. The Journal promotes all linguistic branches as a thoroughly linguistic and thoroughly social-scientific endeavor. The linguistic and the social are both expected to be present in all contributions. Language is regarded as not only a reflection of society but as itself constituting much of the character of social life. The Journal promotes the building and critique of various linguistic theories and encourages the application of social theory to linguistic issues. The Journal is hospitable to linguistic analyses ranging from the micro to the macro, from the quantitative study of phonological variables to discourse analysis of texts. It is open to data from a wide range of languages and international contexts. Contributions from the ethnographic, variationist, constructivist, and sociology of language traditions are welcomed, as are papers from the social psychology of language, anthropological linguistics, discourse analysis, language and gender studies, pragmatics, and conversational analysis.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted knowledge management in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Studies have found that material, financial, and human resources are the key factors in the knowledge network, and mistrust often exists between decision-makers and those who carry out the work. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between knowledge management and trust by conducting a cross-sectional, exploratory, and correlational study with a sample of 10 professional practitioners and social workers involved in COVID-19 care. The study findings show that innovation, competitiveness, and efficiency are the central, unifying, and structural axes of information translation and knowledge transfer. These results are not extensive to the university community, and they are innovative because they highlight the importance of trust as the guiding principle of knowledge management.

Abstract

Since the paradigm for teaching reading has shifted from traditional literacy to multimodal literacy, prior research has demonstrated that augmented reality (AR) technology can successfully improve conventional literacy in general language learning. Only a few research, particularly in English for Nurse courses, have examined the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve multimodal literacy in ESP learning. The purpose of this study was to determine how AR technology affects nursing students' multimodal literacy in ESP learning and how they communicate with others through a variety of multimodal modalities to improve their multimodal literacy in medical English. Fifty nursing students enrolled in English for Nursing courses participated in the study to share their experiences using this multimodal ESP learning survey to improve their medical English literacy. In the auditory mode, background music and sound effects were used to elicit strong emotions and improve immersive experiences. The results also showed a significant improvement in nursing students' multimodal English literacy skills when the material was created for a location-based augmented reality application. The findings revealed that nursing students used three modes in AR (visual, imaging, and animations). The three modes were used to help viewers comprehend complex material, give them specific ideas, and encourage participation.

Abstract

Speech is a medium for conveying formal messages through events/ceremonies. The state speech is part of the sacred event commemorating the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia. The state speech contains linguistic matters in it. Therefore, the author examines one form of linguistics, causative construction in the speech text. In this study, the authors limit the problem only to lexical and morphological causative constructions as a form of linguistic research. In speech texts, it was found that morphological causative constructions were dominant compared to lexical causative constructions. It is due to the morphological causative construction targeting the indirect cause, which is carried out by the subject so that the language conveyed becomes more meaningful in the speech.

Abstract

This study explores the language functions of the linguistic landscape at the Medan train station, focusing on its symbolic and informational roles. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, the research highlights the distinct characteristics of the linguistic landscape in this location. The findings reveal a dominance of monolingual Indonesian, which facilitates easy comprehension of billboards and signage for the majority of the population. Informational functions are well-developed, effectively serving to guide and assist users in navigating the station. Additionally, the inclusion of logos, such as the PT KAI logo, emphasizes the credibility and official nature of the messages conveyed. However, the research also identifies a significant underutilization of the symbolic function in the linguistic landscape, with limited representation of local cultural or linguistic elements. This gap is influenced by the public's mindset and a lack of attention to the potential of linguistic landscapes as tools for cultural preservation and identity expression. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of language usage patterns in public spaces and underscores the need for greater integration of symbolic elements, such as traditional scripts and multilingual signage, to enrich the cultural representation and literacy of the community. These findings hold implications for improving the design and functionality of billboards at the Medan train station, ensuring they serve both practical and cultural purposes for diverse users.

Abstract

This study explores the use of verbal argumentation as a communicative trait in men's language. It has two primary objectives: (1) to identify the elements that individuals utilize to establish verbal argumentative communication, and (2) to clarify the factors that motivate them to defend their arguments. This research employs qualitative descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that male speakers on talk shows utilized verbal argumentation based on Toulmin's argumentation model, which includes claim, ground, backing, warrant, and qualifier. However, one element that was not employed by the speakers is rebuttal. Participants in the Indonesian Lawyers Club (ILC) demonstrated that their arguments were valid and engaged in political debate. The motivating factors include the desire to maintain a position or claim that is debatable and the effort to support each claim with evidence.
