Abstract

This study investigates the role of psychosocial perception particularly prestige, social proximity, and identity in shaping structural convergence in multilingual contact zones. Focusing on four language pairs from Southeast Asia and Latin America, the research applies a dual-index model combining the Structural Convergence Index (SCI) and Psychosocial Index (PI) to evaluate the relationship between linguistic similarity and social perception. Structural features were extracted from typological databases (WALS, Grambank, PHOIBLE), while perception data were gathered via surveys measuring intergroup attitudes and identity alignment. Quantitative analysis revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.78) between SCI and PI scores, indicating that communities with higher perceived social proximity and shared prestige norms exhibited greater grammatical convergence. The study also identified domain-based variation, with convergence most pronounced in institutional contexts (e.g., schools, administration). In contrast, resistance to convergence particularly in the Fronterizo–Spanish case highlighted the impact of identity boundaries and sociopolitical ideologies. These findings support emerging models that treat language convergence as both a structural and socially mediated process. The SCI+PI model contributes a replicable and scalable method for assessing contact-induced change, advancing theoretical and methodological frontiers in contact linguistics. The results underscore that convergence is not only a linguistic outcome but also a reflection of social alignment, identity dynamics, and intergroup perceptions.

Abstract

This study introduces a genre-annotated academic corpus for Indonesian and evaluates IndoSciBERT, a domain-specific NLP model trained on this resource. To address the scarcity of rhetorical datasets in low-resource languages, we compiled a 52,300-document corpus from DOAJ and SINTA-indexed journals (2015–2025) and annotated 5,200 paragraphs using the CARS and Argumentative Zoning frameworks. IndoSciBERT was then fine-tuned for rhetorical classification. We employed GROBID for PDF to TEI conversion, TEITOK for annotation, and SIPEBI/KBBI for spelling normalization. The IndoSciBERT model was benchmarked against IndoBERT on rhetorical classification tasks. IndoSciBERT achieved an F1 score of 0.82 and an accuracy of 84.2%, outperforming the baseline model and showing strong reliability in distinguishing rhetorical moves. These results affirm the value of domain-specific modeling for educational applications. The annotated corpus not only supports genre analysis, pedagogy, and automated writing feedback, but also establishes a foundation for inclusive NLP. In particular, this work makes a distinct contribution by offering a sustainable path to enhance academic literacy in Bahasa Indonesia through intelligent, genre-aware tools.

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

Urbanization has reshaped Indonesia’s linguistic landscape, especially in major cities where Bahasa Indonesia (BI) increasingly replaces local dialects. This study examines how urbanization, generational change, and policy frameworks affect dialect use in urban Indonesia. Drawing on data from the 2020 Long Form Census, generational language use statistics, and comparative policy analysis, this research contrasts low usage urban provinces like Jakarta and Kepulauan Riau with dialect stronghold regions such as Bali and Yogyakarta. The methodology combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights, including census based trends in dialect use across generations and detailed case studies of local policy environments. Key findings reveal that urban centers with limited institutional support experience significant dialect erosion, especially among younger cohorts. In Jakarta, only 0.5% of residents use local dialects with neighbors, while Bali and Yogyakarta report over 85%. Generational data further demonstrate a steep decline in dialect usage, with Post Gen Z exhibiting the lowest rates. These results underscore that dialect decline is not a deterministic consequence of national language policy but is strongly mediated by regional planning, cultural engagement, and community agency. Regions with proactive policies like Bali’s Pergub 80/2018 have successfully maintained dialect vitality through curriculum inclusion and public media usage. In conclusion, urban dialect preservation requires an integrative policy framework that balances national cohesion with local linguistic rights. Digital media, youth engagement, and community led initiatives are essential to reversing intergenerational language loss. This study contributes to sociolinguistic literature by highlighting the critical role of local governance and intergenerational dynamics in shaping linguistic resilience.

Abstract

This study investigates the interactional functions of local pragmatic markers (PMs) in Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. While pragmatic markers such as okay and so are widely documented in global academic discourse, local markers like kan, dong, and sih remain underexplored. The objective of this research is to analyze how these culturally embedded markers support pedagogical interaction and contribute to classroom discourse management. Data were taken from transcripts of six Indonesian EFL classes. A corpus-based approach was applied using the IRF (Initiation–Response–Feedback) model and function-based coding. Marker frequency was normalized per 1,000 words and categorized by speaker role, turn position, and discourse function. To provide comparison, data from the MICASE and ELFA corpora were also analyzed. Results show that local PMs serve both textual and interpersonal functions. Teachers used kan to affirm responses, dong to encourage participation, and nah to mark procedural shifts. These markers enhanced Classroom Interactional Competence by facilitating smoother transitions, reducing student anxiety, and promoting learner engagement. Compared to MICASE and ELFA, which lack these markers, the Indonesian classrooms demonstrated a discourse style shaped by cultural values such as consensus and relational harmony. The findings highlight the pedagogical significance of integrating local pragmatic norms into EFL instruction. Recognizing and leveraging these markers can enhance communicative effectiveness and cultural inclusivity in language education. This study contributes to expanding models of pragmatic competence and affirms the importance of localized discourse analysis in multilingual educational contexts.

Abstract

Cross-linguistic influence (CLI) plays a pivotal role in second language acquisition (SLA), reflecting the ways in which first language knowledge shapes subsequent language learning. This narrative review synthesizes findings from studies spanning structural, socio-cultural, technological, and individual dimensions, with the aim of offering a comprehensive understanding of CLI in multilingual contexts. Literature was retrieved from major databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keywords such as “cross-linguistic influence,” “second language acquisition,” “bilingualism,” and “transfer effects.” Selection criteria included peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025, encompassing experimental, longitudinal, and qualitative designs. Results indicate that structural factors, such as educational policies and curricula, significantly condition transfer outcomes, with inclusive bilingual policies fostering positive transfer. Socio-cultural environments further mediate CLI by shaping learners’ linguistic exposure and practices, while technological innovations, including computational modeling and AI-driven applications, provide new insights into transfer processes though remain unevenly distributed globally. Individual cognitive traits, including metalinguistic awareness and motivation, strongly determine how learners experience CLI, influencing whether transfer becomes a barrier or a resource. These findings underscore the need for integrated strategies that combine pedagogy, policy, and technology to mitigate negative transfer and leverage positive effects. The review highlights research gaps in longitudinal analysis, multilingual repertoires, and individual differences, suggesting directions for future inquiry. Recognizing CLI as a dynamic, multidimensional process is crucial for advancing equitable and effective SLA in a multilingual world.

Abstract

Pragmatics plays a fundamental role in mediating meaning and facilitating effective communication across cultural boundaries. This narrative review aims to examine the role of pragmatic competence in intercultural communication by synthesizing theoretical and empirical evidence from diverse contexts. Literature was systematically collected from databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar using keywords such as “intercultural pragmatics,” “speech acts,” and “pragmatic competence.” Studies were included based on relevance, methodological rigor, and empirical contribution, encompassing research from educational, professional, and societal settings. The results highlight five key themes: speech acts and politeness strategies, pragmatic failures and communication barriers, technology in pragmatic learning, cultural and religious pragmatics, and teacher and curriculum integration. Findings reveal that pragmatic competence is culturally contingent, with speech acts and politeness norms varying widely across societies. Pragmatic failures are shown to disrupt communication and, in high-stakes domains such as aviation and healthcare, may have critical consequences. Technology-enhanced learning, particularly through AI and gamification, demonstrates potential in fostering pragmatic competence, while culturally embedded expressions and religious idioms illustrate the importance of contextual awareness. The integration of pragmatics into teacher education and curricula emerges as essential for preparing learners to navigate intercultural interactions effectively. This review concludes that systemic reforms, policy innovations, and targeted pedagogical strategies are required to address persistent gaps in pragmatic education. Future research should examine long-term pragmatic adaptation and digital communication contexts to further advance understanding and practice. These findings emphasize the urgent need for pragmatic competence as a core dimension of intercultural communication.

Abstract

Semantic change has become an increasingly important focus in historical linguistics and sociolinguistics, reflecting how language evolves in response to social, cultural, and technological transformations. This narrative review aimed to synthesize conceptual, empirical, and contextual perspectives on semantic change and to assess the implications of these shifts for broader societal dynamics. Literature was systematically collected from major databases including Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed, using keywords such as semantic change, sociolinguistics, migration discourse, and linguistic evolution. Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed studies published in the past five years, complemented by seminal works providing historical context. The results reveal three interrelated themes: conceptual frameworks including semantic gradation and discourse-historical approaches; empirical patterns documented through quantitative analyses of lexical shifts and concreteness in language use; and contextual influences encompassing social policies, cultural traditions, and digital communication. These findings demonstrate that semantic change is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a reflection of systemic structures, power relations, and cultural identities. The discussion highlights the need for inclusive language policies, culturally responsive education, and interdisciplinary research to mitigate inequalities and preserve linguistic diversity. By linking theory, data, and context, this review contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of semantic change and its relevance for language, society, and identity in a globalized world.

Abstract

This narrative review examines cognitive approaches to morphology with a focus on the mental lexicon, exploring how morphological representation and decomposition facilitate word recognition and language processing. The review aimed to synthesize theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to evaluate the mechanisms that govern morphological awareness and its role in literacy and communication. Literature was collected from multiple databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using targeted keywords and Boolean search strategies. Inclusion criteria emphasized studies addressing morphology from cognitive and psycholinguistic perspectives, incorporating experimental, neuroimaging, and review-based methodologies. Findings reveal that morphological families enhance lexical retrieval, while frequency, transparency, and productivity shape access strategies for complex words. Evidence from priming, eye-tracking, and pseudoword experiments confirms the automaticity of morphological decomposition. Bilingual and second-language processing is shown to be shaped by typological similarity, proficiency, and translanguaging practices, resulting in distinct cognitive strategies compared to monolinguals. Neuroimaging studies identify distributed cortical networks, including the left inferior frontal gyrus, supporting morphological processing. Clinical evidence from dyslexia and aphasia underscores morphology’s role in literacy and communication. Systemic and educational factors, including inequities in access and pedagogical design, contribute significantly to observed variability. The review emphasizes the urgency of addressing research gaps in underrepresented languages, age groups, and translanguaging contexts. Pedagogical interventions, such as explicit morpheme-focused instruction, gamified environments, and translanguaging practices, are recommended to strengthen literacy outcomes. Future research should integrate cross-linguistic evidence and neurocognitive approaches to develop inclusive models of morphological processing with broad theoretical and practical implications.
