IJLCB will act as a platform to encourage further research in Linguistics, Communication, and Broadcasting (LCB) theory and applications. In the era of globalization, language has a very important role as a means of communication between citizens and the world community. The era of the wave of human civilization on earth includes the existence of a language of communication as one of the pillars of human civilization. In this era of globalization, mass communication media are even more sophisticated and complex than before, especially after reaching the communicant or the person receiving the message. Technology makes it very easy for humans to find out what is happening in the world so quickly, so that electronic media has a very wide network and is able to present clear images and can provide benefits and a source of knowledge and entertainment to the public. Broadcast media are institutions or organizations that disseminate information in the form of cultural products or other information that can influence and reflect the socio-culture in society. Broadcasting media is divided into two, namely radio broadcasting and television broadcasting. Both types of broadcasting in the perspective of communication fall into the category of mass communication. In this era of globalization, research related to language, communication and broadcasting is very important, in order to obtain innovations in the field of language, communication and broadcasting which have a positive impact on the civilization of the world community.

Abstract

Since 1974, the collaboration between linguistics and artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a conceptual approach to a well-established interdisciplinary synergy. This study aims to scientometrically evaluate the dynamics and development directions of linguistics–AI research over the past five decades, by analyzing 5,750 articles indexed in the Web of Science. The results show an exponential increase in the number of publications since 2000, with a significant spike post-2018 due to the advancement of deep learning models. Through keyword mapping using VOSviewer and word cloud analysis, five main clusters were identified: Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Generative Language Models (including ChatGPT), Computational Linguistics, and Educational Applications. In addition, countries such as China, the United States, and Italy are listed as major contributors, with institutions such as Tsinghua University and MIT being the most productive centers of research activity. The discussion shows that AI has transformed from a tool to a collaborative partner in linguistic practice, education, and scientific writing. However, ethical challenges such as algorithmic bias and underrepresentation of minority languages ​​remain major concerns. This study emphasizes the importance of a critical and inclusive approach so that linguistic collaboration is not only technological, but also humanistic. The findings provide a comprehensive picture of the evolution, potential, and challenges of linguistic collaboration, and open new directions for future research.

Abstract

Social Virtual Reality (Social VR) has evolved from a theoretical concept to a sophisticated communication medium over the past two decades. This systematic literature review synthesizes 78 peer-reviewed studies published between 2004-2024 to examine the development of Social VR as an interpersonal communication platform. The research employs a PRISMA-guided methodology to investigate five key research questions covering avatar-mediated communication, non-verbal cues, collaborative applications, ethical challenges, and inclusivity aspects. The findings reveal that Social VR has transcended its initial perception as an isolating technology to become a rich, multimodal communication medium that supports embodied presence and immersive interactions. Avatar-mediated communication demonstrates the Proteus Effect, where digital representation influences user behavior and self-perception. Non-verbal cues including gestures, spatial proximity, and gaze direction significantly enhance co-presence and emotional expression beyond traditional video conferencing. Collaborative applications in scientific research, education, and professional settings show improved engagement and knowledge retention through 3D immersive environments. However, significant challenges persist including limited facial expression tracking, inadequate real-time moderation systems, and ethical concerns regarding virtual harassment and privacy. The review identifies accessibility barriers related to device costs, digital literacy, and geographic disparities in research representation. Despite these challenges, Social VR demonstrates remarkable inclusive potential, particularly benefiting elderly users, neurodiverse individuals, and non-verbal communicators who adapt gesture-based and emoji-mediated interactions. The thematic synthesis reveals five primary domains shaping Social VR development: avatar communication, non-verbal interaction, virtual collaboration, ethical considerations, and inclusivity. Future research directions emphasize the need for longitudinal studies on team trust, cross-cultural trials in diverse contexts, AI-enhanced moderation systems, and standardization of expressive avatar technologies. The study concludes that Social VR holds transformative potential for reimagining human connections in digital spaces, contingent upon responsible development practices that prioritize safety, accessibility, and ethical design principles.

Abstract

The rise of social media has transformed the formation of public opinion, with digital influencers emerging as key actors in shaping attitudes, behaviors, and cultural trends. This study investigates the role of influencers in influencing Millennials and Generation Z, focusing on credibility, engagement, and generational differences. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a quantitative survey of 300 respondents (150 Millennials, 150 Gen Z) with in-depth interviews of 20 participants. Quantitative findings indicate that influencer credibility is the most significant factor for both generations, with over 70% of respondents citing trust and reputation as primary reasons for engagement. Both Millennials and Gen Z are influenced in lifestyle and consumption decisions; However, Gen Z shows greater susceptibility to socio-political narratives, whereas Millennials engage more critically and selectively. Qualitative analysis reveals four key themes: Millennials prioritize authenticity and transparency, while Gen Z exhibits strong emotional attachment through parasocial relationships and perceives influencers as role models and alternative sources of information. The findings underscore that influencers function not only as marketing agents but also as social actors and cultural mediators. Effective communication strategies must consider generational distinctions: authentic storytelling resonates with Millennials, while content emphasizes diversity, inclusivity, and social responsibility appeals to Gen Z. The study also highlights risks associated with misinformation and biased narratives, considering the need for ethical practices and enhanced digital literacy among both influencers and audiences. Overall, this research contributes to understanding how influencer culture shapes public opinion, revealing the multidimensional role of influencers in contemporary digital communication.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the Hallyu Wave, particularly through Korean dramas (K-dramas), has become a significant global cultural current that shapes teenagers' lifestyles and communication patterns. In Indonesia, K-dramas are not only consumed as entertainment but also function as cultural references in constructing interpersonal relationships, especially in the romantic domain. This study aims to analyze the influence of K-dramas on the romantic communication patterns of Indonesian adolescents, focusing on the forms of communication adopted and the negotiation process with local cultural values. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with adolescents aged 15–19 years in Bandung who actively consume K-dramas. The data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman's interactive analysis model, which includes stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three main forms of romantic communication influenced by K-dramas: (1) verbal communication, reflected in the adoption of terms of endearment such as oppa, yeobo, “sayang,” and “beb,” which illustrates linguistic hybridity; (2) nonverbal communication, such as holding hands, hugs, and meaningful gazes, although adapted to Indonesian norms of politeness and social boundaries; and (3) digital expressions, including emoticons, stickers, and K-drama quotes, which function both as symbols of affection and as markers of engagement with global popular culture. This study also finds a process of cultural negotiation in which adolescents selectively adapt Korean romantic communication styles to fit Indonesian collectivist values. The impact is twofold: positively, it enriches emotional vocabulary, fosters sensitivity, and promotes cross-cultural openness; Negatively, it risks creating unrealistic expectations and undermining local cultural expressions. In conclusion, Indonesian adolescents' romantic communication patterns represent a hybrid form resulting from the dynamic interaction between global influences and local values. Adolescents are not passive consumers but active agents who internalize, adapt, and negotiate popular culture in shaping their interpersonal communication practices.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises play a strategic role in the Indonesian economy, particularly in creating jobs and encouraging innovation. One sector that continues to rapidly develop is the food and beverage business, including baby food. In this regard, social media has become an important tool that allows novice entrepreneurs to market their products more effectively and efficiently. Digitalization and technological development have changed the way business is conducted, including in marketing strategies. Social media provides a great opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to reach a wider audience without incurring high costs. In this context, the 'MPASI Tibiya' business uses platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp to promote their baby food products, which are designed to meet the nutritional needs of children aged 6 to 24 months. Marketing through social media allows MPASI Tibiya to build a closer relationship with consumers. Content such as daily menu information, customer testimonials, and visual promotions become effective tools to attract the attention of young mothers who are active in the digital world. With this approach, entrepreneurs not only expand the market but also create consumer trust in the quality of their products. However, the use of social media also presents various challenges. Increasingly tight competition in the digital world, changes in platform algorithms, and criticism from customers can become obstacles in building a positive image. Therefore, an engaging and adaptive content strategy is needed to face the continuously evolving market dynamics.

Abstract

This study explores the classification of English-speaking anxiety levels and identifies the underlying factors contributing to speaking anxiety among EFL undergraduate students. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using two main instruments: a questionnaire adapted from Horwitz et al.’s (1986) Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and semi-structured interviews that provided deeper insights into students’ perspectives and experiences. The participants were 24 students from an English Education program. The findings revealed that the majority of students (75%) experienced moderate anxiety, while 16.67% showed low anxiety and 8.33% high anxiety. These outcomes reflect a complex interplay of anxiety dimensions: Fear of Negative Evaluation was the most prominent factor (M = 2.47), followed by Communication Apprehension (M = 2.37), and Test Anxiety as the least influential (M = 2.24). The overall results indicate that speaking anxiety was present but not overwhelmingly severe among participants. The study highlights the importance of understanding both the frequency and sources of anxiety, as such insights can inform strategies to foster supportive and non-judgmental classroom environments. Creating these conditions may encourage students to develop greater confidence, enhance oral performance, and reduce their speaking anxiety in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the resistance message against capitalism conveyed by tomato farmers in Cikareumbi Village, Lembang Sub-district, through the cultural tradition of Rempug Tarung Adu Tomat (Tomato Battle). Using a qualitative approach within a critical discourse framework, the research explores how farmers employ symbolism to express collective resistance. The findings show that the resistance is articulated in two stages: first, by deliberately allowing tomatoes to rot as a rejection of unfair pricing; and second, by staging the Tomato Battle as a symbolic protest. Key symbolic elements include the masked guards representing capitalist oppression, the masks themselves symbolizing deception, and the tomato battle signifying solidarity and unity among farmers. Furthermore, the processing of rotten tomatoes into compost and seeds highlights their pursuit of independence from exploitative systems. This resistance is driven by two main factors: the unfair pricing practices imposed by intermediaries and the lack of government support. Ultimately, the farmers’ message reflects not only their opposition to capitalist exploitation but also their demand for fair recognition and state intervention.

Abstract

Assessment for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has undergone significant development over the past decades. This study systematically reviews pragmatic assessment instruments used in clinical contexts for children with ASD. From an initial pool of 210 articles identified through academic database searches, a stepwise screening process (identification, abstract/title screening, and eligibility review) resulted in 21 eligible articles for full analysis. From these articles, 26 pragmatic assessment instruments were identified and systematically coded based on method of administration, target age group, assessed pragmatic features, and year of publication. The review reveals notable advancements, such as the adoption of video-based stimuli, inclusion of nonverbal elements, and use of multimodal approaches. However, several critical limitations remain, particularly the reliance on indirect parent or teacher reports (54%), which may overlook the dynamic aspects of social interaction. Most tools emphasize basic communicative functions (e.g., requesting, responding), with only 38% evaluating paralinguistic elements such as intonation and facial expressions. Moreover, approximately 80% of the instruments are designed for children under 12, leaving adolescents—who face increasingly complex pragmatic demands, including digital communication—underrepresented. Additionally, 88% of instruments were developed within Western cultural frameworks, raising concerns about cross-cultural validity in high-context cultures such as Indonesia. Two underserved groups also emerged: nonverbal children with ASD and adolescents primarily engaged in digital interaction. These findings suggest an urgent need for more inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally responsive pragmatic assessment tools that can accommodate diverse communication styles and sociocultural contexts to ensure accurate and meaningful clinical evaluations.
