Abstract

This article investigates the semantic evolution of reformasi in Indonesian political discourse from 1998 to 2025. Originally a rallying cry for democratic transformation following the fall of Suharto’s New Order, reformasi has increasingly been used to legitimize bureaucratic and technocratic governance. The study applies diachronic embedding analysis to two corpora: legislative transcripts (DPR RI) and Indonesian news articles, spanning five political eras. Preprocessing included lemmatization, tokenization, and multi word expression normalization. Static word embeddings (SGNS) were aligned using Orthogonal Procrustes, and contextual embeddings from IndoBERT were clustered and compared across time slices. Semantic drift was measured through cosine displacement, Jaccard similarity of nearest neighbors, and Jensen–Shannon divergence of contextual clusters. Significant semantic shifts were identified around key political events such as the 2004 direct presidential election, the 2017 UU Ormas, and the 2020 Omnibus Law. Findings reveal that reformasi has drifted from a term associated with democratic rupture to one embedded in administrative discourse. In legislative corpora, it now co occurs with terms like birokrasi, efisiensi, and ASN, while public discourse maintains traces of its original ideological charge. This shift indicates the broader repurposing of political language in post authoritarian governance. The study contributes to computational linguistics and political discourse analysis by demonstrating how embedding based methods can uncover ideological realignments encoded in language. It underscores the value of semantic tracking in transitional democracies and offers a replicable framework for analyzing discursive transformations.

Abstract

Politeness and hedging are central in shaping credibility and interpersonal dynamics in online academic communication. This study examines how these strategies affect persuasion in Q&A forums, particularly Academia and CrossValidated communities on Stack Exchange. It aims to measure their influence on persuasive success through three indicators: answer acceptance, scoring, and response timing. Drawing on a corpus of 20,000+ threads, the study applies computational tools to detect politeness markers and hedging terms. The analysis uses mixed effects logistic regression, negative binomial regression, and Cox proportional hazards models, while controlling for user reputation, message length, and thread depth. Results show that politeness and hedging significantly enhance persuasive outcomes. Posts with more polite and mitigative language are more likely to be accepted, receive upvotes, and get faster responses. The effects are stronger for users with lower reputation, indicating that politeness functions as a compensatory strategy in digital peer interactions. The discussion acknowledges the limits of automated detection tools and stresses the role of context, culture, and disciplinary norms in interpreting politeness and hedging. This study concludes that politeness and hedging are essential rhetorical resources in digital academic dialogue. The findings offer practical implications for AI-driven moderation and feedback systems that aim to support inclusive and effective scholarly communication.

Abstract

Endangered languages are among the most critical challenges in preserving human cultural and intellectual diversity. More than 40% of the world’s 7,000 languages are currently at risk of extinction. This narrative review examines global strategies for language revitalization, focusing on the roles of communities, education, technology, policy, and cultural identity. Literature was gathered from major academic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar) using core keywords such as language revitalization and endangered languages. The findings show that community-based initiatives, such as language nests and cultural integration, are crucial for intergenerational transmission. Education policies that include minority languages in school curricula foster measurable gains, while the absence of institutional support often results in stagnation. Digital tools expand access and engagement, though their effectiveness depends on cultural adaptation and community participation. Government recognition and funding further determine success, with marked disparities between developed and developing regions. Overall, language revitalization is not only a linguistic concern but also a matter of identity, cultural resilience, and social justice.

Abstract

The syntax–semantics interface has become a central focus in linguistics, as it explains how structural configurations shape meaning and how interpretation constrains syntactic possibilities. This review aims to synthesize theoretical, empirical, computational, and cross-linguistic perspectives to provide a comprehensive account of the interface. Findings indicate that generative and minimalist theories emphasize structural roles, while constructionist and distributional models highlight usage and context. Empirical studies reveal challenges for bilingual and heritage speakers, and computational approaches demonstrate the value of hybrid models bridging theory and data. The review contributes to advancing linguistic theory and practice by underscoring the need for integrative models that combine formal rigor, empirical validation, and cross-linguistic inclusivity.

Abstract

This narrative review examines the role of translanguaging as a pedagogical framework in bilingual and multilingual education. Drawing on studies published in the last decade, the review synthesizes evidence on how translanguaging enhances comprehension, fosters identity affirmation, and promotes inclusive learning environments. Findings indicate that translanguaging improves academic performance by supporting conceptual understanding and learner engagement, while also validating students’ cultural and linguistic identities. Despite these benefits, systemic barriers such as monolingual ideologies, restrictive policies, and limited teacher preparation remain significant challenges. This review contributes by highlighting both the transformative potential and contextual limitations of translanguaging, and by identifying directions for future research on its long-term and cross-regional impacts.
