Abstract

This study examines sociolinguistic dynamics in North Lampung Regency, focusing on how Jakarta’s sociolect serves as a primary symbol of modernity and social prestige in the local community. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a library research design. The research sample consists of a purposively selected corpus of academic journal articles, theses, and official statistics from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik) that represent sociolinguistic shifts and the demographic profile of North Lampung. The findings show that community members combine Jakarta’s sociolect, including acrolects, vulgar sociolects, and slang, with the Lampung Nyo language through code-switching, and that this adoption is driven mainly by future-oriented (in-order-to) motives such as constructing a modern self-image and avoiding the kampungan stereotype. The study discusses the implications of these findings, showing how traditional cultural values, specifically the Piil Pesenggiri philosophy of honor and dignity, adapt to linguistic globalization through urban prestige markers. Overall, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of center-periphery language dynamics in provincial Indonesia and enriches understanding of sociolinguistics, regional language vitality, and identity construction in semi-rural communities.

Abstract

This study examined how mental health inequalities are communicated and socially negotiated by children in child-headed households (CHHs) in the Epworth settlement. Positioned within the sociology of communication, the study treats disclosure and silence as its central objects of analysis. Three objectives guided the study: to explore how CHH children communicate and make sense of their mental health challenges, to examine the structural barriers limiting their access to mental health services, and to identify community-centered solutions for enhancing that access. The study employed a qualitative case study design, integrating resilience theory with Goffman’s theory of stigma. Ten children from CHHs constituted the primary participants, while five key informants were purposively selected. The study generated data through in-depth and key informant interviews and analyzed them using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase reflexive thematic analysis. Findings indicated that CHH children experience trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, prolonged grief, and helplessness, with limited opportunities to communicate this distress. Access to mental health services was constrained by poverty, limited service availability, low mental health literacy, and a stigma in which disclosure is a communicative act carrying a lasting social cost. Proposed solutions centered on community-embedded communication channels: local service delivery, mental health education, free provision, coordinated multisectoral action, and mobile outreach modeled on familiar community health communication infrastructure.

Abstract

This study examined how the pronoun we constructs solidarity and identity in Boris Johnson’s 2019 election victory speech, addressing the limited scholarly attention to pronouns’ dual ideological functions in post-election political rhetoric. The specific objectives were to determine the frequency of we in the speech, examine its ideological construction of solidarity, and explore its ideological construction of identity. The study was anchored in Critical Discourse Analysis, which explains how linguistic choices reflect power relations and social meaning. The research adopted a qualitative design supported by a limited quantitative frequency analysis. The study purposively selected the speech because of its political relevance and communicative significance. The analysis identified 29 occurrences of we: 19 instances (66%) primarily associated with solidarity and 10 (34%) primarily associated with identity. The findings also indicate that some instances perform both functions, with the reported categories representing their primary ideological function. Solidarity was constructed through shared responsibility, national unity, collective action, and political alignment, particularly in relation to governance and the resolution of Brexit. Identity expressions mainly functioned to establish collective political and national belonging and to legitimize governmental authority. The study concludes that pronoun use operates as an ideological resource for consolidating political legitimacy and reducing the distance between leadership and the electorate. The study contributes to understanding how pronoun use in electoral victory speeches jointly constructs solidarity and identity.

Abstract

Vietnam–Thailand’s elevation to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in May 2025 marks a critical juncture in mainland Southeast Asian diplomacy. Although this relationship is formally bilateral, the two countries describe their cooperation as connecting supply chains, local economies, and sustainable development strategies through “Mekong-centered sub-regional cooperation mechanisms.” Moving beyond traditional international relations approaches that treat the Mekong merely as a functional or material arena, this article approaches subregional diplomacy as a fundamentally communicative project. Written from the vantage point of Vietnamese scholarship, the study applies critical discourse analysis, framing analysis, and the strategic narratives approach to 14 official Thai, Vietnamese, and Lao texts, issued mainly in 2025–2026, with Laos’s 2021 development plan as a contextual text. The analysis demonstrates how state actors discursively construct the Mekong as an “intermediary space” to reorganize spatial influence and manage interdependence. Furthermore, it reveals how diplomatic language positions Laos not as a passive geographic buffer but as a “hinge state”: Thai texts tie Thailand’s own plans to Laos’s land-linked strategy, a Vietnam–Laos joint statement frames Lao access to the sea as a shared objective, and Laos’s development plan and Lao state news reports present Laos in that connective role. As such, the article shows that the communicative dimension runs deeply through material mechanisms of mediation, such as logistics, water resources, and non-traditional security, illustrating that modern diplomacy relies as much on the strategic production of meaning as on material capabilities.

Abstract

The penetration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Vietnamese newsrooms shifts the question from what AI can do to who has the authority to govern its use in journalism. International research has largely examined newsroom-level self-regulation in Western systems, while overlooking systems in which the state plays a central role. Drawing on a content analysis of 111 Vietnamese-language news articles published from January 2023 to July 2026 and a seven-group coding scheme, the article identifies the warrants invoked, the voices authorized to speak, and the normative force with which norms are stated. Unwritten professional ethics and unsourced claims predominate over law, the authority to speak is concentrated in an anonymous voice, and norms are largely framed as recommendations. The article proposes a three-dimensional model of normative authority, separating warrant, authorized voice, and normative force as independently measurable dimensions. It extends professional boundary-work theory to a non-Western setting in which self-regulation and law divide roles rather than exclude one another.
