Abstract

This study discusses the concept of “Media Jihad” and its role in interpreting the resistance of the Palestinian people. By examining various forms of media, such as social media posts, news articles, and visual images, this research aims to reveal the forms of Palestinian resistance through semiotic analysis. Through the lens of semiotics, the study explores how media representations shape public perceptions and contribute to the narrative of the Palestinian struggle. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data collected includes sentences, images, hashtags, and symbols from social media posts, news articles, and visual images. The data collection method used is non-participatory observation, where the researcher observes and records sentences, images, hashtags, and symbols in these various media and then correlates them with their context based on semiotic theory. Additionally, the researcher conducts interviews with community leaders and experts in interpretation to gain deeper perspectives. After collecting the data, the researcher processes it through reduction, classification, verification, and tabulation based on its type, then performs interpretation and concludes the findings. The research results show that the resistance of the Palestinian people manifests in the following forms, namely 1) expressions of condemnation of Israel; 2) visual images such as pamphlets, flags, cartoons, and documentary films; 3) supportive, struggle, and condemnation hashtags; and 4) symbols like watermelons, kufiya or smagh, and keys. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of media in conflict zones and the importance of semiotics in interpreting resistance movements.

Abstract

Reading is a process that starts with word recognition, progresses to comprehension, and involves the reader and the text negotiating meaning. The aim of the study was to improve the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Gunungsitoli Selatan in 2023–2024 by implementing the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) program. Two Stay Two Stray is the strategy that give opportunities for students to share the information with other learning groups in classroom activities. Some students of the eighth grade could not comprehend the particular descriptive text in the form of identifing the generic structure of reading comprehension especially in descriptive text, and the students were unable to understand the language features of reading comprehension especially descriptive text.In this research, Classroom Action Research (CAR) were applied by the researcher, that has devided into two cycles and two meetings for each. In the first cycle the students skills in reading comprehension were not satisfying due to the students level of “very fail and less level” moreover, the teaching enviromentalin learning process under the ideal condition, in cycle two the condition of teaching learning process were very good, so the result is satisfying. Scores ranged from 65 to 85, with 85 being the highest possible. Furthermore, the lowest possible score was 65 while the average for students in Cycle II was 85. Moreover, Cycle II students' average score was 72.The Two Stay Two Stray Strategy can improve pupils' reading comprehension skills, according on the researcher's analysis of the research findings.

Abstract

This research investigates the semiotic dimensions of horror movie posters and how they use signs and pictures to communicate their genre-specific messages. The poster was selected for a popular horror movie in Indonesia. The verbal and visual signs on these posters were analyzed using semiotic theory as explained by Chandler (2007), studying the meaning of verbal and visual signs in terms of connotative and denotative meaning by Barthes (1968) and Cerrato's (2012) theory for interpreting the meaning of colors. Observation and note-taking techniques were used to collect data for this study. The data of this research was analyzed using the descriptive qualitative method. This research shows that selected posters effectively use dark, sinister imagery and bold, jagged typography to convey their horror themes. For instance, the use of a giant skull formed by twelve wrapped corpses in the “Siksa Kubur” poster creates a ghoulish and creepy image that resonates with cultural fears of death and the supernatural. The posters expressed both connotative and denotative meanings. Combining these elements creates a persuasive and engaging narrative that resonates with the cultural and supernatural themes prevalent in Indonesian horror. The posters, beyond being elements of the story, also act as marketing tools, effectively capturing and holding the audience's attention by using meaningful cultural symbols and emotions. These discoveries have important implications for filmmakers and marketers, indicating that a thorough grasp of cultural semiotics can improve horror films' narrative impact and market appeal.

Abstract

Indonesian lacks dedicated logophoric pronouns. Instead, logophoric references are encoded through the use of reflexive pronouns within the discourse context. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between reflexive anaphors and logophoricity in Indonesian. Specifically, it seeks to demonstrate that a particular form, namely the complex reflexive formed by combining diri with possessive pronouns, is exclusively associated with logophoricity. The data for this study was extracted from naturally occurring expressions found in the Leipzig corpora. Analysis was conducted using discourse syntax, which examines the interplay between syntax and the surrounding textual environment, to observe the resulting phenomena. The findings indicate that logophors in Indonesian differ significantly from reflexive anaphors in four key aspects. Firstly, logophoric pronouns, unlike reflexive pronouns, can be bound at a long distance. Nevertheless, they still adhere to the principles of binding theory regarding their antecedents. Secondly, logophoric pronouns may not necessarily agree in phi features with their antecedents. Thirdly, the logophoric anaphor can occupy various grammatical functions, including both object and subject positions. Lastly, unlike reflexivization, logophoric constructions in Indonesian are subject to passivization.

Abstract

Learning Arabic vocabulary in early childhood is essential for developing basic language skills. However, more attention must be paid to applying digital media, such as YouTube, to language learning with a behaviorist approach, specifically Thorndike's theory. This study aims to analyze Arabic vocabulary teaching in early childhood using YouTube based on Thorndike's behaviorism theory at Asy-Syukuriyah TPA. The research method is descriptive qualitative, with a purposive sampling technique involving teachers as informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed that using YouTube as a medium for learning Arabic vocabulary is to the principles of the law of readiness, practice, and consequences in Thorndike's behaviorism theory. The law of readiness can be seen from the teacher ensuring the children's readiness before starting learning. Furthermore, the law of practice is seen by repeating material through videos to strengthen memory and questions about the material provided. Finally, the law of consequences is seen in the praise given by the teacher when children successfully answer the questions presented. In conclusion, if used strategically and systematically, YouTube as a learning media can be an effective tool in teaching Arabic in early childhood and can strengthen the association between stimulus and response through repetition. The findings have implications that YouTube-based learning based on Thorndike's theory of behaviorism has the potential to be applied more widely, with further research on different age groups and subjects as well as in-depth analysis of student characteristics.

Abstract

is study examines textual discourse in the animated movie “Raya and the Last Dragon,” with a focus on grammatical and lexical cohesion to understand how language supports narrative coherence and emotional impact. Although there is substantial research on textual cohesion and discourse patterns in various contexts, there is a notable gap in investigating how animated films, which merge visual and verbal elements, use these linguistic techniques to construct complex narratives. This research addresses this gap by applying Halliday and Hasan's (1976) theoretical framework to analyze how cohesive devices function within the film’s dialogues. Through the descriptive-qualitative method, the research explores cohesive devices to enhance our comprehension of this linguistic phenomenon. Data collection involved meticulously observing the movie and analyzing the data through both formal and informal methods. The analysis revealed 416 instances of grammatical elements, with references being the most frequently used. These references ensure clarity and continuity in dialogues by linking back to previously mentioned characters or objects, thereby keeping the conversation smooth and coherent. In the lexical analysis, 78 instances were identified, with repetition being the most common. Repetition emphasized key themes, strengthened emotional connections, and effectively conveyed the movie's main messages. This study provides new insights into how animated films uniquely employ cohesive devices to enhance storytelling and character development, and contributing to the broader field of textual discourse analysis.
