Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences and similarities of verbs in Indonesian and Sundanese as used by Sundanese Indonesian bilingual children. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of alternating use of two languages by children in daily community activities. In this study, a qualitative descriptive method was applied through an observational approach through the techniques of listening, seeing, engaged, and taking notes. From the results of the study, it can be seen that children tend to use Indonesian verbs in formal contexts such as at school, while Sundanese verbs are more dominant in family or local community interactions. There were also morphological differences, such as in the basic form and affix, as well as the phenomenon of code mixing and code switching in their speech. These findings suggest that language choice is influenced by social context and emotional proximity. This research is important for the preservation of regional languages and the development of bilingual teaching materials that are relevant to the socio-linguistic environment of children.

Abstract

Within the framework of Kurikulum Merdeka, English language instruction emphasizes not only the acquisition of linguistic structures but also the pragmatic use of language across diverse social and cultural contexts. Comic strips, as part of the learning materials, offer authentic language interactions that reflect everyday communication and provide exposure to various politeness strategies. This study employed a qualitative approach with content analysis as the method to examine 164 utterances found in the comic strips. The utterances were classified using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory, which identifies four types of politeness strategies: bald on-record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record. The findings show that bald on-record strategy was the most frequently used (93 instances), followed by positive politeness (70 instances). Negative politeness was absent, and off-record occurred only once. The predominance of direct strategies is likely attributed to the informal nature of peer-to-peer interactions, where minimal social distance reduces the need for indirectness. These results suggest that comic strips can serve as effective pedagogical tools for fostering learners’ pragmatic competence, particularly in the domain of politeness. The study provides pedagogical implications for educators and material developers in designing instructional resources that integrate both linguistic and pragmatic dimensions of language learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate pronunciation errors made by fourth-semester students of the English Literature Department at Bumigora University during speaking class. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected from students’ oral descriptions of daily activities. Their speech was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for pronunciation errors, focusing on consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. The findings revealed three major categories of errors. First, consonant errors occurred most frequently in the substitution of interdental sounds /θ/ and /ð/ with alveolar sounds /t/ and /d/. Second, vowel errors were observed in the confusion between long and short vowels, such as /iː/ and /ɪ/, and the mispronunciation of /æ/ and /e/. Third, diphthong errors appeared when students simplified diphthongs into monophthongs, such as [haʊs] pronounced as [hos]. These errors were caused by several factors, including mother tongue interference, lack of exposure to authentic English pronunciation, difficulty in perceiving phonemic contrasts, and psychological factors such as nervousness or hesitation. The study concludes that students’ pronunciation errors are not only challenges but also indicators of their interlanguage development. Error analysis, viewed through an applied linguistics approach, provides valuable insights for teachers to design corrective feedback and targeted pronunciation practice. By addressing these errors systematically, lecturers can help students improve their communicative competence and confidence in speaking English.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the form of intertextuality between the short film Lamun Sumelang (2019) by Ludy Oji Prastama and the creative work Pulung Gantung: Menyingkap Tragedi Bunuh Diri di Gunungkidul (Pulung Gantung: Uncovering the Tragedy of Suicide in Gunungkidul) (2002) by Darmaningtyas by examining the interconnected meanings, themes, and socio-cultural representations presented in both works. The phenomenon of suicide, which frequently occurs in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region, has long been a complex social and cultural issue. Although various studies indicate that the main factors contributing to suicide in the region are related to socio-economic pressure, poverty, shame (wirang), and social isolation, most of the community still associates it with the myth of pulung gantung—a reddish celestial light believed to be a sign foretelling death by hanging. A descriptive qualitative analysis is employed using Fitzsimmons (2013) theory of intertextuality and the mise-en-scène approach as a supporting framework for visual analysis in film. The study concludes that Lamun Sumelang represents a reinterpretation and revitalization of the text Pulung Gantung through the medium of cinema presenting an intertextual dialogue between social reality, local myth, and contemporary artistic expression. Through the lens of intertextuality, the film functions not only as a cultural representation but also as an educational and reflective medium for understanding the phenomenon of suicide within rural Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze grammatical structures used in the tourism article “What’s the Problem with Overtourism?” written by Leahy (2023) and published in National Geographic Traveler. The research focuses on identifying and describing various grammatical features, including tenses, passive voice, gerund and infinitive constructions, and relative clauses, to reveal how grammatical choices shape meaning and readability in tourism discourse. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study finds that the author employs a range of grammatical patterns to convey factual information, emphasize ongoing global concerns, and maintain a balance between persuasive and informative tones. The use of present simple and perfect tenses dominates the text, reflecting both timeless truths and current relevance of overtourism issues. Passive constructions are strategically used to emphasize processes over agents, while gerund and infinitive forms add fluidity and continuity to the narrative. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of grammar use in professional tourism writing and provide pedagogical insights for English learners, especially those in tourism and communication studies.

Abstract

AntConc is an open-source corpus linguistic tool featuring basic corpus linguistic analytical techniques. A powerful element of AntConc is its various pattern-searching methods. This paper describes the flavours of AntConc’s searching methods and illustrates them for the query of phonological, morphological, and syntactic phenomena. The more advanced searching method, namely Regular Expressions (RegEx), is also discussed. The paper illustrates the use of RegEx for querying a rather complex morphological phenomenon in Indonesian, namely reduplication. RegEx search output is compared with the output from the basic Wildcard search feature to accentuate the sophistication and flexibility of RegEx for more targeted and specific results. The paper, overall, underscores the importance of mastering the different methods of querying texts with different complexities in AntConc for investigating a wider range of data-intensive, linguistic inquiries.

Abstract

English is an international language that plays a vital role in the era of globalization, particularly in tourism, education, and the professional world. However, English proficiency among young people in Indonesia, including those in Denpasar, still faces several challenges. One major obstacle is limited vocabulary mastery, which hinders their ability to understand texts, follow conversations, and express ideas both orally and in writing. This condition often reduces students’ confidence to use English in daily communication. Therefore, innovative strategies are needed to enhance vocabulary acquisition in a simple, engaging, and youth-oriented way. This study introduces the use of English-language stickers as a medium for incidental learning in public spaces, specifically at three popular dining spots in Denpasar—Kopi Jaya, Nasi Jinggo Bu Jero, and Nasi Jinggo Gundul. These stickers serve not only as aesthetic elements but also as educational tools that present simple and contextual vocabulary that is easy to comprehend. Due to their visual and repetitive nature, as well as their closeness to young people’s social environments, the stickers are expected to stimulate intrinsic motivation and strengthen vocabulary internalization. The research applies a qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative data using a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The objectives are to (1) identify factors contributing to low English vocabulary proficiency among young people in Denpasar, (2) examine the role of stickers as an incidental learning medium, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of English stickers in public spaces in enhancing motivation to learn English. The findings are expected to contribute meaningfully to students by improving vocabulary and motivation, to teachers as an alternative non-formal learning strategy, and to future researchers as a reference for developing simple, low-cost, and impactful learning media that connect formal learning with real-life experiences.
