Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of code switching and code mixing in the spoken language of Maxwell Salvador Surya Atmaja on his YouTube channel. The method used in this study uses a sociolinguistic approach based on the code switching theory by Appel & Muysken and the code mixing theory by Muysken with a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The data collection technique uses a listening, reading, and note-taking technique adapted to Creswell's data collection type, namely documents and audio-visual. The data analysis technique is carried out with stages according to Creswell, namely video transcription, data identification and classification, tabulation and codification, data analysis, and data presentation. The results of the study show that the forms of code switching found are Tag-switching and Intersentential-switching, while the forms of code mixing include Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalization. The functions of code switching found are Referential Function, Directioe and Imaginary Function, and Expression Function. While the functions of code mixing include Referential Function, Directioe and Imaginary Function, Expression Function, and Phatic Function. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of code switching and code mixing occurs because the speech used by speakers is more flexible and unstructured so that it can trigger the emergence of language switching or mixing.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the signified, the signifier, and the meaning generated from their relationship in representing the symbol of women's struggle in the character Sur in the film Penyalin Cahaya. The population in this study is all scenes in the film Penyalin Cahaya, while the research sample consists of scenes containing elements of signs relevant to women's struggles. The research instrument used is the researcher herself as the main instrument, with the aid of a data analysis table to systematically classify the signifiers and signifieds. The data collection technique was carried out through repeated observations of the film, while the data analysis tool used Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic approach with descriptive qualitative methods. Data validity was strengthened through time triangulation techniques. The results show that the signifiers in the film are manifested through various visual and narrative elements, such as lighting, color, and certain symbols that appear in the scenes. Meanwhile, the signifiers represent various forms of women's struggles, such as resistance to injustice, social pressure, trauma, and efforts to obtain justice. The relationship between the signifier and the signified produces the meaning of the symbol of women's struggle as a form of resistance to a patriarchal system and a culture that tends to blame the victim. Thus, this film not only functions as a medium of entertainment, but also as a means of social criticism of the reality of gender inequality in society.

Abstract

English signs in urban public spaces within the linguistic landscape are not merely directional tools, but rather a reflection of identity contestation, globalization, and complex communicative functions. Through a systemic functional linguistics (SFL) perspective, these signs are understood based on the metafunctions of language. This study examines English signs in public spaces within the urban linguistic landscape through a SFL perspective. Using a qualitative descriptive design, 100 English signs were selected from a larger dataset. The research data, focusing on the functional analysis of these English-language public signs, were analyzed qualitatively and descriptively based on ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions, as well as the communicative purposes of English use. The results show that relational meaning is the most dominant ideational pattern, indicating that English is primarily used to identify locations, facilities, and commercial entities. Interpersonal meaning is dominated by neutral and persuasive functions, while textual meaning often emerges through lexical prominence and theme prominence. These signs primarily function informatively and persuasively, demonstrating that English serves not only as a means of communication but also as a social semiotic resource that regulates public space and constructs commercial meanings. These findings suggest that public signs can be valuable authentic materials in English language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms and functions of dysphemism in the comment section of the @democrazymedia news account on the X app. The study was conducted on the X social media platform, collecting data from the account’s comment section during the period from November to December 2025. The data in this study consists of 20 utterances containing dysphemism. The research instrument used was the researcher themselves, employing a read-and-record technique for data collection. Data analysis utilized a qualitative descriptive method with a semantic approach to identify the forms and functions of dysphemism. The results of the study indicate that there are 15 forms of dysphemism, namely figurative expressions, metaphors, re-modeling, circumlocution, clipping, ellipsis, abbreviations, acronyms, one word replacing another, general to specific, part for the whole, hyperbole, meaning beyond the statement, jargon, and colloquialisms. In terms of function, dysphemisms are used to convey things considered taboo or indecent, describe situations negatively, express criticism, belittle and mock, as well as exaggerate situations and hurl insults. The most dominant function is as a means of belittling and mocking.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of social criticism regarding the historical reality of the post-1965 era in Leila S. Chudori’s novel Namaku Alam. This study employs a qualitative method based on Alan Swingewood’s sociological approach to literature, which focuses on literature as a social document or a reflection of the times. The data source for this study is the novel Namaku Alam by Leila S. Chudori, published by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia in 2023. The research data consists of dialogues, sentences, and paragraphs collected using documentation techniques and analyzed using hermeneutic techniques. The hermeneutic process involved the stages of identification, classification, codification, interpretation, and data presentation. The research findings indicate that the novel Namaku Alam represents a critique of the post-1965 historical reality through various repressive practices carried out by the state. First, state-sanctioned terror and persecution are represented through arbitrary arrests, forced disappearances, and intensive surveillance of individuals and families deemed to have ties to the PKI. Second, the manipulation of history is represented through the state’s control of historical narratives, whether through the construction of official history, public spaces, or the education system. Third, restrictions on freedom of expression are represented through pressure on academics and journalists, a strict licensing system, and the banning of book distribution. These findings indicate that the novel Namaku Alam serves not only as a work of fiction but also as a medium for social criticism that reflects the historical reality of post-1965 Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of root words and derived words in Indonesian language textbooks for grades 1 and 2 of elementary school and to compare them based on morphological analysis. The method used is quantitative with a descriptive-comparative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation techniques using the "listen, read, engage, and note-taking" technique for textbooks at both levels. Data analysis was carried out in two stages: descriptive analysis to describe the distribution of vocabulary based on word classes, number of occurrences, and morphological processes; and comparative analysis to compare the distribution of vocabulary between levels based on the number of entry names. The results show that the number of vocabulary items in the grade 1 elementary school textbooks reaches 6,357, while the grade 2 elementary school textbooks are 8,217. Based on the entry name analysis, the grade 1 elementary school textbook contains 858 words, consisting of 540 root words and 318 derived words. Meanwhile, the grade 2 elementary school textbook contains 1,353 words, consisting of 850 root words and 503 derived words. Comparisons between grades reveal differences in word count and variety, particularly in the use of root words and derived words, which are more prevalent in second-grade textbooks. This indicates an increase in linguistic complexity with increasing grade level. The study concludes that root words are more dominant than derived words in both first and second grades. This dominance of root words reflects the adaptation of language materials to the developmental stages of elementary school students' language skills at each grade.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze students’ strategies in achieving publication in SINTA-accredited journals. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and digital documentation involving students who have experience in the scientific publication process. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students’ strategies are integrated into three main stages: research planning, scientific writing, and the publication process. In the planning stage, students are publication-oriented from the beginning by selecting relevant topics and conducting intensive literature reviews. In the writing stage, students adapt their articles to journal templates, improve academic language skills, utilize reference management tools, and perform iterative revisions. In the publication stage, students understand the use of the Open Journal System (OJS), select journals that align with the scope, and respond constructively to reviewers’ comments. Additionally, this study identifies several challenges, including limited understanding of the publication system, publication costs, lengthy editorial processes, and mismatches in journal scope perception. Academic resilience emerges as a crucial factor in dealing with rejection and increasing the chances of publication success.
