Abstract

This study discusses the social functions of Ambonese Malay pantun in the community of Negeri Haruku, Central Maluku Regency. Pantun as an oral tradition is not merely a form of verbal expression but also serves as a medium for transmitting cultural values, social ethics, and collective identity within the community. This study aims to describe the social functions of Ambonese Malay pantun in the social and cultural life of the Haruku community. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and recording of oral traditions from local informants. The results show that Ambonese Malay pantun in Negeri Haruku functions as entertainment, educational media, social control, communication tool, and cultural preservation medium. Pantun is used in traditional ceremonies, social interactions, and community gatherings as a means of conveying advice, satire, and moral teachings. The study also reveals that pantun reflects the local wisdom and collective values of the Haruku community. Therefore, preserving pantun as an oral tradition is essential to maintain cultural identity and support intergenerational transmission of local knowledge.

Abstract

The Maluku Sea possesses exceptionally rich marine biodiversity and serves as the primary source of livelihood for coastal communities. This richness is reflected not only in economic aspects but also in the local knowledge system that has been passed down through generations through language, particularly in the lexicon of fish and marine biota. This study aims to describe the forms of fish and marine biota lexicons used by the people of Maluku and to reveal the ecological knowledge embedded within them. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach from an ethnolinguistic perspective. Data in the form of local terms for fish and marine biota were collected through documentation, interviews, and observations of fishing communities in the coastal areas of Maluku. The findings indicate that the naming of fish and marine biota is not arbitrary; rather, it represents the community’s observations regarding color, body shape, behavior, habitat, seasonal occurrence, and the economic value of certain species. In addition, variations in fish names were identified across different coastal regions, reflecting the linguistic and cultural diversity of Maluku communities. These lexicons function not only as tools of communication but also as repositories of traditional ecological knowledge that are essential for the sustainable management of marine resources. Therefore, the documentation of fish and marine biota lexicons constitutes a strategic effort toward preserving the language, culture, and local knowledge of the coastal communities of Maluku.

Abstract

Learners of Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA), like language learners generally, consult ChatGPT for grammatical explanations outside class hours, yet the pedagogical quality of those explanations remains unexamined. This study evaluates ChatGPT (GPT-4o) explanations of four grammatical concepts that BIPA error-analysis research identifies as persistent sources of difficulty: the multifunctional di-, the meN- prefixation system, the suffixes -kan and -i, and the circumfixes me-kan and me-i. Using qualitative content analysis, outputs were coded against a seven-dimension rubric—accuracy, clarity, completeness, organisation, example quality, readability, and pedagogical usefulness—each operationalised through explicit four-level descriptors. Ratings function as ordinal descriptive summaries of qualitative judgements, not as inferential evidence, and no generalisation beyond the analysed corpus is claimed. Of 28 ratings, 22 fell in the highest band and 6 in the second: accuracy, clarity, organisation, and example quality were uniformly strong, whereas readability was weakest, followed by pedagogical usefulness. The recurring shortcoming was not linguistic error but pedagogical omission: explanations did not anticipate the affixation misconceptions documented among BIPA learners, and treated related affixes as unconnected topics. On the evidence of these four explanations, ChatGPT is better positioned to supplement structured BIPA instruction than to substitute for it.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the speaking skills (imaginative storytelling) of seventh-grade students of SMP PGRI Belis Class VII A through the Kancing Gemerincing cooperative learning model. This study employed a classroom action research (CAR) design consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles. The subjects of the study were 20 students of Class VII A at SMP PGRI Belis, consisting of 8 male students and 12 female students. The results showed an improvement in the students’ speaking skills (imaginative storytelling), both in the learning process and in learning outcomes. This improvement was evidenced by the increase in the students’ mean score, which was 46.05 in the first cycle and was still below the expected level. In the second meeting of Cycle II, the students’ mean score increased to 70.15. Thus, the students’ learning mastery in speaking skills (imaginative storytelling) through the Kancing Gemerincing cooperative learning model had achieved the predetermined Minimum Mastery Criterion of 60.

Abstract

Figures of speech or language styles represent figurative expressions employed by authors as a creative medium to convey emotional nuances and intrinsic thoughts. This research aims to analyze and describe the implementation of personification and depersonification figures of speech in the poetry Hati yang Kemarin Tertawa by Theoresia Rumthe and Weslly Johannes, which is compiled in the poetry anthology Percakapan Paling Panjang Perihal Pulang Pergi (2021). Adopting a qualitative descriptive methodology, the data collection techniques utilized in this study comprised close reading and systematic note-taking techniques to categorize textual figures of speech. The empirical findings indicate a total of 9 occurrences, consisting of 5 instances of personification figures of speech and 4 instances of depersonification figures of speech. These results demonstrate that Hati yang Kemarin Tertawa serves as an integral poetry in the collaboration of Theoresia Rumthe & Weslly Johannes that quite intensively incorporates both personification and depersonification devices to establish vivid poetic imagery and emotional depth. Consequently, this study contributes valuable stylistic insights into the rhetorical dynamics of contemporary Indonesian poetry.

The Hadrat Tapur tradition is an oral tradition performed during the Eid al-Fitr celebration, accompanied by rebana drumming and songs performed in Arabic and the Hitu language in the Tengah-Tengah dialect. Folklore theory was employed to examine the types of folk songs, while semantic theory was used to analyze their meanings. This study employed a qualitative approach focusing on the types and meanings of folk songs in the Hadrat Tapur tradition. Data were collected through observation, interviews, note-taking, audio recording, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing (verification). The findings indicate that the folk songs comprise two types: functional folk songs and lyrical folk songs. The functional type is represented by the Ucapan Salam (Greeting) song, whereas the lyrical type includes songs of praise to God, surrender to God, and supplication for guidance to do good deeds.

Abstract

The teaching and learning of procedure text writing among seventh-grade students in Class VII-2 at Junior High School 5 of Waeapo District, Buru Regency, still faces several challenges, particularly in organizing the text structure coherently and applying the linguistic features of procedure texts. The initial condition indicated that the students’ writing ability was still below the established Minimum Mastery Criteria, which was set at 72. This study aimed to improve the students’ ability to write procedure texts through the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning model among seventh-grade students in Class VII-2 at Junior High School 5 of Waeapo District, Buru Regency. This study employed Classroom Action Research, which was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects comprised 23 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, writing assignments, and documentation. The data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed an improvement in the students’ ability to write procedure texts following the implementation of the instructional interventions and subsequent improvements in the learning process. In Cycle I, 5 students (21.74%) achieved the Minimum Mastery Criteria, with a mean score of 58.95. In Cycle II, the number of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criteria increased to 20 students (86.95%), with a mean score of 72.69. The mean score increased by 13.74 points from Cycle I to Cycle II, while the classical mastery level exceeded the predetermined success indicator of 80%. Therefore, the Contextual Teaching and Learning model can be used as an alternative approach to improving procedure text writing skills among seventh-grade students in Class VII-2.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of dysphemism found in the comment section of the Instagram account @timnasindonesia. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with the data consisting of netizens’ comments collected through screenshots. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which comprises data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed eight categories of dysphemistic expressions: taboo terms, obscene swear words, comparisons of humans to animals, terms referring to tabooed body parts, physical epithets, epithets referring to a person’s mental abnormality, dysphemistic insults, and insults directed at individuals. In terms of function, the dysphemistic expressions found in the comment section served to demean or insult, express dislike, intensify insults, provide negative portrayals, express anger, and swear or assert power. The findings indicate that dysphemism is used not only as an outlet for emotional expression but also as a means of social criticism and as a way of asserting attitudes toward situations and events.
