Abstract

The increasing linguistic diversity in higher education has led to a growing need for inclusive and effective multilingual instructional strategies. This conceptual paper examines the potential of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to support multilingual instruction by addressing the communication barriers faced by non-native speakers in diverse classroom settings. Drawing on current theoretical perspectives and technological developments, the paper explores how NLP tools—such as real-time translation, speech recognition, and automated feedback systems—can enhance comprehension, accessibility, and collaborative learning in higher education. These technologies offer opportunities to bridge language gaps, enabling students to engage more effectively with content delivered in multiple languages. The paper also discusses challenges related to language diversity, technological limitations, and cultural sensitivity in implementing NLP in educational contexts. While acknowledging these limitations, the paper argues that integrating NLP into multilingual instruction represents a promising direction for fostering inclusivity and equity in higher education. Ultimately, this theoretical exploration urges institutions to embrace innovative language technologies to create more dynamic and supportive learning environments for students of all linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

The current study is focusing on the analysis of promise as a speech act from a pragmatic and stylistic point of view, in correlation with Austin's speech act theory, specifically based on the instances of promises from the screenplays of Satyajit Ray’s three greatest masterpieces - his debut film, “Pather Panchali”, “Apur Sansar”, which is the third and last instalment of “Apu Trilogy:, and  "Devi". All these three films have several promise speech acts present in the film, uttered by different characters in different situations, but the role of these promises is important also from linguistic point of view as the concept of promise as a speech act as explained by Austin (1962) and, Searle (1969) also brings some conditions to the scenario which are crucial, for those promises to be considered successful. In a successful promise, there has to be an obligation creating circumstance. A successful promise depends on the promisor's ability and the promisee’s preference. We will be looking into Searle's (1969) theory, where he suggested that felicity conditions are important for a promise to be a successful speech act, i.e propositional condition, preparatory condition, sincerity, and essential condition. We will be looking out to observe the promises made and kept or left partially or completely unfulfilled by the characters, analyse them using the speech act theory, and briefly look into Ray’s spectacular cinematic world to understand the role of the promises in the climax of the films.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of motivation in the lyrics of the song "Manusia Kuat" by Tulus using a semiotic analysis approach. The focus of the research is to identify and analyze the signs that represent the concept of motivation in the lyrics. Using the framework of the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, this study analyses icons, indexes, and symbols in song lyrics. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with semiotic analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the lyrics of the song "Manusia Kuat" contain various signs that represent the concept of strength, resilience, and self-motivation in facing life's challenges. These signs form a motivational narrative that reflects contemporary and universal Indonesian cultural values of struggle and perseverance. This research contributes to the understanding of how popular musical works can function as a medium to convey motivational messages through semiotic constructions.

Abstract

This study examines the use of speech acts in the short film “Miss Perfect” directed by Jinnyboy TV from a pragmatic perspective. Utilizing the theoretical frameworks of Austin (1962) and Searle (1969), the research explores how language functions as action within cinematic dialogue. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to analyze the film's script, focusing on identifying locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Particular attention was given to Searle’s (1976) classification of illocutionary acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives. The findings reveal that all three types of speech acts are evident in the film, with illocutionary acts being the most dominant. Characters use language not only to convey information but also to express emotions, make requests, give commands, make promises, and influence others. These speech acts contribute significantly to the development of character relationships and the narrative structure. For instance, assertives are used to state opinions and beliefs, directives to give instructions or commands, commissives to express commitments, expressives to convey emotions, and declaratives to enact social functions. This analysis highlights how speech acts in film dialogue mirror real-life communication and provide insight into the social and emotional dynamics of the characters. The study underscores the value of applying pragmatic theory to media texts, offering a deeper understanding of how language constructs meaning in scripted narratives.

Abstract

This study analyzed social meaning in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, a pivotal civil rights text, to understand its reflection of 1963 America’s socio-cultural context. Despite extensive studies on the speech’s structure and emotional impact, none have applied Leech’s social meaning framework. This research aims to identify sentences conveying social meaning and analyze their linguistic construction using Leech’s theory. A qualitative close reading method was employed, selecting 17 sentences from the official transcript. Findings reveal metaphors like “bad check” and “bank of justice” that critique systemic racism, while phrases like “together” and “faith” foster interracial unity. These reflect voting barriers, segregation, and moral contradictions in America’s democratic ideals. The study advances semantics by applying Leech’s framework to historical discourse, offering insights for linguistic and civil rights scholarship. It underscores language’s role in advocating justice and inspiring change.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation methods employed in the Indonesian rendering of the song “Rewrite the Stars” by James Arthur and Anne-Marie, using Peter Newmark’s (1988) classification of translation methods. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were drawn from the original English lyrics and their Indonesian translation. Each line of the lyrics was examined to identify the translation method applied, including literal, faithful, semantic, communicative, and idiomatic translation. The findings reveal that communicative translation is the most dominant method (42%), followed by literal translation (26%), faithful translation (14%), semantic translation (12%), and idiomatic translation (6%). No instances of word-for-word, adaptation, or free translation were identified. These results suggest that the translator favors a communicative approach that prioritizes naturalness and comprehensibility in the target language, rather than methods that are overly rigid or excessively liberal. This study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate translation methods in song translation to ensure that emotional nuances, aesthetic qualities, and cultural elements are effectively conveyed to the target audience.
