Abstract

This study aimed to describe the forms of social stratification in Arundhati Roy’s novel The God of Small Things. The object of the study was the novel written by Arundhati Roy. The analysis focused on the depiction of social hierarchy and inequality among the characters in the story. The study applied a sociological approach using the theory by (Zahara & Anwar, 2021:24), which stated that there were three dimensions of social stratification in society: wealth (economic class), prestige (social status), and power. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected in the form of words, phrases, and sentences found in the novel. The results of the study showed that wealth was reflected through differences in the economic background of the characters, prestige was portrayed through caste position and family reputation, while power appeared in the form of authority, influence, and control exercised by certain characters over others. These three dimensions interacted to form a complex picture of social inequality that affected the relationships, lives, and conflicts of the characters in the novel. The findings emphasized that social stratification was not only a background element of the story but also a key factor driving the dynamics of conflict and the development of the plot in The God of Small Things.

Abstract

The paper considers to assess whether recommendation and approximation are suited to beginners as well as intermediate and advance students in writing. The growing academic interest towards writing comprehension in language teaching leads every language teachers to find appropriate strategies to assess the students’ writing ability. Recombination and approximation are apparently known as two important strategies to assess the students’ ability in writing. The assessment itself covers content, grammatical accuracy, organization, and vocabulary along with its coherence and cohesion. The assessment of this study was based on discourse approach. The data collected from a private English course in Yogyakarta. Six students were randomly selected for the study, with two from each level participating. This study employed a combination of methods, including a writing test and a semi-structured interview. The results of the writing test were then subjected to a thorough analysis, employing analytical scoring rubrics as a methodological framework. The findings indicate that recombination is an appropriate learning strategy for novice students, while approximation is more suitable for intermediate and advanced students.

Abstract

Analyzing the meaning of sign on a traditional house is essential as language is part of the semiotic system in society. It is also an effort to preserve the local cultural values. This research investigates the meaning of the sign on the Saga traditional house. The methodology employed is descriptive qualitative that aims to explore, understand, and interpret the meaning of each sign associated with complex human experience, behaviors, cultures, and social phenomena. The principal finding of this research is that the meaning of signs is related to social protection, leadership, authority, ownership, social welfare, women's preservation and beauty, cultural strength, resilience, and defensiveness. Moreover, this research demonstrated that the preservation of the meaning of the signs becomes the medium of social communication between the local community and the ancestors. This research recommends that to improve the comprehension of language meaning, it is crucial to incorporate the conceptual understanding of semiotic meaning on social and cultural features into the linguistics courses.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the form, meaning and function of indigenous languages in the Teing Hang Empo ceremony which was carried out in Compang Wunis Village, East Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara province. In particular, this research focuses on the language expressed used in this traditional ceremony, namely kepok and torok. In analyzing the form, meaning and function of the two ritual expressions mentioned above, the author uses a qualitative method by referring to the theory of form, the meaning of the language of ritual Palmer 1996; Sharifian 2017 and the function of Language by Hudson, 1986. The results of data analysis show two forms of customary language or ritual language, namely the form of parallelism and the form of metaphor. Similarly, from the meaning of ritual language there are three meanings, namely collective meaning, hope for success and religious meaning. The function of ritual language has three functions, namely the poetic function, the conative function and the emotive function or expressive function.

Abstract

he objective of this study is to analyze the language development of a 1-year-7-month-old child named Ary, with a focus on phonological and semantic aspects. The research was conducted through a three-month observation period, during which interactions between Ary and his surroundings, particularly his mother, were meticulously documented.The findings indicate that, in the phonological aspect, Ary has demonstrated the ability to produce various words, although there are pronunciation errors such as with the letters "L" and "R" (puyang for ennen, kokok for rokok). These errors are typical and reflect the articulation development process at his age. In the semantic aspect, the child has begun to demonstrate an understanding and use of words with more complex meanings, such as api for "hot" and amen for "prayer."The study also found that communication strategies such as motherese, recasting, echoing, and expanding play a crucial role in supporting the child's language development. These strategies provide linguistic stimulation that helps the child enrich his vocabulary, improve his pronunciation, and build simple sentence structures. The study's findings underscore the pivotal role of social interaction, particularly that of parents, in facilitating children's language development.These findings resonate with the theories propounded by Vygotsky and Brunner, which accentuate the significance of environmental support and the sociocultural context in attaining optimal language development.

Abstract

The Sudan civil war, designated by the United Nations as the world's largest humanitarian crisis, has generated extensive international media coverage yet remains critically under-examined in discourse scholarship regarding how conflict knowledge is constructed and whose voices are authorized to define truth. This study employs Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) integrated with Critical Discourse Analysis to investigate how BBC Indonesia and BBC International construct agency distribution and epistemic authority in explainer articles about the Sudan conflict. Through qualitative transitivity and modality analysis of two comparable November 2025 articles, this research examines how linguistic choices reveal ideological positioning regarding who acts, who suffers, and whose knowledge counts as legitimate. Findings demonstrate systematic patterns across both outlets which are passive constructions and nominalization obscure military actors' responsibility for civilian casualties; asymmetric agency attribution constructs RSF as violent aggressors while rendering structural dimensions invisible; and a three-tier epistemic hierarchy privileges Western institutional voices (US, HRW) with definitive modality, grants international bodies (UN) investigative authority, while relegating local Darfuri voices to subjective belief-based positioning. Critically, these patterns converge regardless of outlets' geographic positioning, Indonesian regional versus British global, revealing what Foucault identifies as "capillary power": the circulation of Western-centric knowledge frameworks through institutionalized journalistic norms that transcend individual bias or national interest. This convergence demonstrates that transforming conflict representation requires not merely diversifying media sources but fundamentally challenging the embedded "regimes of truth" determining whose knowledge is recognizable as legitimate in global journalism, with implications extending beyond African conflict reporting to broader questions of epistemic justice in international media

Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing the types and functions of taboo words used in the Kissing Booth’s Script Movie. In this research, the researcher employed the Batistella classification (2005) and Jay (1996). The objective of the study is to find the types and functions of taboo words used in the Kissing Booth’s Script Movie. The researcher used descriptive qualitative in analyzing data. The data of this research were the character’s utterances in the Kissing Booth Script Movie. The instrument of this research is the researcher herself. The researcher collected the data by downloading the script, observing, documenting, analyzing the types and functions of taboo words, and classifying the types of taboo words. After getting the data, the researcher classified and analyzed the type of taboo words by each character. At the end of the analysis, the researcher concluded based on the types of taboo words and the functions of taboo words used. The result of this research showed 53 data containing all types of taboo words. Slang is the most frequently used with 18 utterances. Then, the second is profanity with 7 utterances. The third is obscenity with 6 utterances and vulgarity also cursing with 5 utterances. While, epithets, blasphemy, and insult have 3. Moreover, scatology has 2 utterances, and the less frequent is slur with 1 utterance. Thus, the researcher concluded that slang is the highest rank of taboo word employed by the characters of the Kissing Booth’s Script Movie. Meanwhile, the lowest type of taboo word employed by the characters of that film is a slur. This study highlights the importance of teaching students about taboo words and their functions through pragmatic competence. Teachers can use film excerpts to illustrate politeness strategies and encourage class discussions on language use in social contexts. Media literacy should also be integrated into language teaching, helping students analyze how films shape language, reflect social norms, and influence identity. This approach enhances critical thinking and prepares students for real-life communication

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the rhetorical elements of credibility, emotion, and logic are realized in tourism promotion vlogs and how their integration contributes to persuasive effectiveness in recreational tourism promotion. The research employed a qualitative approach with design focusing on tourism promotion vlogs about Kamadu Beach. The participants consisted of 24 respondents who had no prior familiarity with the destination. Data were collected through the selection of tourism vlogs from digital platforms and interviews guided by a questionnaire to capture respondents’ perceptions. The data were analyzed using a rhetorical triangle framework by examining narrative and visual elements to identify persuasive strategies. The results show that emotional appeal is the most dominant element in tourism promotion vlogs and plays a significant role in attracting audience attention and increasing engagement. However, logical information supports rational decision-making, while credibility strengthens audience trust in the content. The study concludes that effective tourism promotion vlogs require a balanced integration of emotional appeal, logical information, and credible presentation to enhance persuasive impact and encourage actual tourist visits. The findings imply that content creators and tourism promoters should strategically combine these rhetorical elements to achieve more effective digital tourism promotion.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the translation strategies of idiomatic expressions in the subtitles of the film The Intern using Baker's (1992) theory of idiomatic expression translation strategies, which includes four strategies: using idioms with the same meaning and form, using idioms with the same meaning but different forms, translating through paraphrasing, and translating through omission. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with data sources in the form of English subtitles and their Indonesian translations. From 25 idiom data, three strategies were found to be used: the use of idioms with the same meaning and form (4 data), the use of idioms with the same meaning but different forms (9 data), and translation through paraphrasing (12 data). The omission strategy was not found. The results of the study show that the paraphrasing strategy is the most dominant because it is considered more flexible in adjusting to the target language context. Further research is expected to analyze different objects and consider aspects of procedure and translation quality.
