Abstract

This study examines linguistic sexism and the portrayal of women in Indian advertising media. It aims to highlight how advertisements reinforce gender stereotypes and contribute to societal inequality. The research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, using Sara Mills' discourse-level analysis theory from Feminist Stylistics (1995) as the analytical framework. The analysis identifies indirect sexism and the objectification of women in advertising. Women are frequently depicted as housewives rather than independent individuals with career aspirations. These portrayals reinforce traditional gender roles, limiting women's representation in diverse professional and social spheres. The study concludes that gender equality remains unachieved in Indian advertising media, as women continue to be stereotyped and confined to domestic roles. The persistence of these portrayals reflects deep-rooted societal biases that restrict women’s opportunities. By shedding light on gender bias in advertising, this study emphasizes the need for more inclusive and equitable media representations. Addressing these stereotypes can contribute to social change and the promotion of gender equality in India.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the portrayal of feminine touch in the skin care advertisement Y.O.U Beauty with a case study in two countries, Indonesia and Philippines by using Erving Goffman’s theory on gender advertisement. The sample is taken from four posts under Y.O.U Beauty official Instagram account. The method that is used in this research is descriptive qualitative and the data are analyzed using content analysis to provide a detailed and systematic examination of the contents of the advertisements. The result shows that there are three key aspects including the connection between model and product, gesture, and color appearance that depict feminine touch in the advertisement of Y.O.U skin care products both in Indonesia and Philippines. In addition, the advertisement also demonstrates a shift in mindset and culture related to the usage of skin care products in society in recent years viewed from the choice of brand ambassadors who are men and women.

Abstract

This study analyzes the visualization of gender stereotypes in Indonesian and Korean Pocari Sweat advertisements 2018 using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The research aims to compare and interpret how gender roles are portrayed in these advertisements, reflecting the cultural contexts of Indonesia and Korea. A qualitative method was applied, utilizing Barthes' semiotic analysis to examine the primary data—images extracted from the advertisements. Secondary data, including literature reviews and relevant studies, provided additional context. The data collection process involved selecting advertisements, segmenting visual elements, and analyzing their meanings based on denotation and connotation. Findings indicate that Indonesian Pocari Sweat advertisements reinforce patriarchal values by depicting women in supportive roles, often serving men. In contrast, Korean advertisements promote a feminist perspective, showcasing women engaging in physically demanding activities, challenging traditional gender norms. These differences highlight the cultural disparities in gender perceptions between the two countries. The study concludes that advertising serves as a medium that reflects and perpetuates societal gender norms. Indonesian advertisements maintain traditional gender roles, while Korean advertisements align with progressive feminist movements. This research underscores the role of media in shaping public perceptions of gender and contributes to discussions on gender representation in advertising.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the deconstruction of the Korawa characters in the novel Perang by Putu Wijaya. In the epic Mahabharata, the Korawa are conventionally positioned as antagonistic figures representing evil, while the Pandawa are depicted as symbols of virtue. However, through a deconstructive approach, the novel Perang dismantles this binary opposition and presents a new perspective on the Korawa. This type of research is qualitative, utilizing content analysis and supported by Derrida's deconstruction theory. Data is drawn from quotes in the novel that reveal shifts in meaning, the reconstruction of the Korawa character, and criticism of several narratives that have long been considered absolute. The results of the research show that the Korawa in the novel Perang is not only portrayed as the evil side but also as a group with complex characters, humanitarian values, and perspectives that can be understood. By deconstructing the dichotomy between good and evil, this novel offers a new discourse that history and the identity of characters are not absolute but rather the result of constructions that can be questioned and reinterpreted.

Abstract

This study examines the status of Indonesian local languages, emphasizing their role in identity preservation and linguistic diversity across the archipelago. Despite their cultural significance, local languages often receive less appreciation than international languages, which are perceived to have greater socioeconomic value. Current research on Indonesian local languages is limited, typically focusing on linguistic aspects in isolation. This study takes a broader approach, considering factors such as pedagogy, employability, and publicity. A mixed-method approach was used, including questionnaires, interviews, and documentary analysis to gather data from 60 high school students. The results show that, despite the absence of local language instruction, students held positive attitudes toward their local languages and actively used them outside of school. However, regarding employability, students believed that proficiency in local languages would not significantly improve their job prospects. They also recognized the importance of local language visibility in media, as it could stimulate public interest and enhance the economic value of these languages. The study highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing local language use and its potential benefits.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply the text, along with the ideological and social contexts underlying the opinion piece. This research employs a qualitative approach, using Norman Fairclough’s theoretical perspective. The findings reveal that the textual dimension contains both explicit and implicit linguistic features, indicating strong semantic content. The sentences used in the text can be categorized into two main types: declarative and interrogative sentences. In the dimension of discursive practice, the opinion piece aims to build public collective awareness so that citizens are actively involved in overseeing public policies—particularly those concerning the right to information, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press. In terms of sociocultural analysis, there is an institutional involvement of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) in “intervening” in matters related to journalistic content. This raises serious concern, as a healthy, free, and responsible press is being “silenced.” If press freedom is curtailed, one of the key pillars of democracy—the press’s role in providing checks and balances—will be significantly undermined.

Abstract

Kazakh is a Turkic language with agglutinative morphology and relatively free word order. This feature makes it ideal for studying how syntax and semantics interact in language processing. Unlike languages with fixed word order, Kazakh signals semantic roles mainly through case affixes, which challenges traditional grammatical models. To investigate the interaction between syntax and semantics in Kazakh, we combined corpus-based semantic annotation with neurophysiological data. Our corpus comprises 1,200 sentences from classical Kazakh literature by Abai, Zhumabaev, and Auezov, annotated using the UCCA and PropBank frameworks, while metaphors were identified via the Metaphor Identification Procedure VU (MIPVU). Additionally, we performed a meta-analysis of 15 event-related potential (ERP) and fMRI studies on Turkic languages conducted between 2010 and 2024 to support our findings. Results show that approximately 98.3% of semantic roles (e.g., agent, patient) remain identifiable across varied word orders, demonstrating strong semantic stability despite syntactic variation. Based on these findings, we propose the Cognitive–Semantic Matching Model (CSMM), a generative-cognitive framework in which grammatical affixes and conceptual metaphors work together to support comprehension. This framework integrates generative syntax with cognitive semantics and offers insights relevant to linguistic theory, cognitive neuroscience, and natural language processing for agglutinative languages.

Abstract

This research explores the impact of the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) on enhancing the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Baranti. The study aimed to address common speaking difficulties, such as pronunciation issues, limited vocabulary, and lack of confidence, through the application of ALM techniques. A pre-experimental design was employed, with a sample of 23 students from class VIII.1, who underwent both pre-test and post-test assessments. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' speaking skills, particularly in areas of accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility, following the implementation of the ALM over a four-week period. Statistical analysis revealed that the post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores, confirming the effectiveness of the Audio-Lingual Method in improving English speaking proficiency. The study concludes that the ALM is an effective teaching method for fostering students' speaking skills, enhancing their confidence, and encouraging active participation in the learning process.

Abstract

This study presents a contrastive phonological analysis of consonant cluster patterns in Javanese and English. The primary objective is to examine structural phonotactic constraints, particularly cluster types, sonority sequencing, and repair strategies, with a focus on cross linguistic and bilingual contexts. Employing corpus based data and phonological inventories, the analysis identifies cluster combinations in both onset and coda positions, and evaluates conformity to the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP). Javanese displays a preference for simple, sonority conforming onset clustersprimarily C+r/l and s+{r,w}and rarely produces complex codas or CCC onsets outside of loanwords. English, by contrast, permits a wide array of clusters, including frequent SSP violating s+stop+liquid sequences and up to four consonant codas. These typological differences are reflected in structural adaptations: Javanese and Indonesian speakers regularly apply vowel epenthesis to repair illegal clusters in both loanwords and interlanguage forms (e.g., /stress/ → /setres/, /spring/ → /sepering/). Dialectal variation within Javanese and cognitive control in bilinguals further shape these outcomes. The results affirm that Javanese conforms more strictly to SSP and syllable templates, whereas English tolerates greater phonotactic flexibility. Repair strategies like epenthesis, simplification, and truncation highlight the interface between native phonological constraints and second language adaptation. These findings contribute to phonotactic theory, bilingual phonology, and L2 instruction by clarifying how learners accommodate foreign cluster structures.

Abstract

Forensic voice comparison (FVC) is gaining global recognition as a scientific method for speaker identification in legal proceedings. In Indonesia, however, the application of FVC remains underdeveloped, despite increasing reliance on digital and audio based evidence in criminal cases. This study presents a legally and methodologically robust framework for implementing FVC within the Indonesian judicial context. The research integrates Indonesian legal standards (KUHAP Articles 183–184, UU ITE) with international forensic protocols, including ISO/IEC 27037 for digital evidence handling. A combination of acoustic features MFCCs, F0, formants, and VTLN was extracted from disputed and reference voice samples. Likelihood ratios (LRs) were calculated using Gaussian Mixture Models, with score calibration via logistic regression. Results showed mean log LR values of 2.1 for genuine trials and –1.8 for impostor trials, with an ROC AUC of 0.91. Visual tools, including Tippett plots and ROC curves, were used to interpret and communicate evidence reliability. The findings confirm that calibrated, probabilistic FVC methods are feasible and legally admissible in Indonesia. However, challenges remain in handling low quality recordings, maintaining chain of custody, and bridging communication gaps between scientific experts and legal practitioners. The study recommends structured training, standardized protocols, and the use of visual aids to enhance evidentiary transparency. This framework lays the foundation for a scalable, court ready FVC system aligned with national law and global best practices. It supports interdisciplinary cooperation aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s forensic infrastructure.
