Abstract

This case study explores the early stages of language development in a three-year-old Indonesian-speaking child through the lens of psycholinguistics, focusing on phonological, morphological, and semantic domains. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Chomsky’s Universal Grammar, Halliday’s functional language theory, and Clark’s interactionist model, the research investigates how innate capacities and environmental input jointly shape language acquisition. Using naturalistic observation and audio-visual recordings, 25 spontaneous utterances were collected and analyzed qualitatively. Phonologically, the child demonstrated common developmental processes such as substitution and omission, showing partial mastery of the phonemic inventory. Morphological analysis revealed early morpheme use, overgeneralization, and bilingual word blending. Semantically, the child exhibited notable competence in categorization, antonym recognition, and pragmatic usage, often preceding phonological or morphological precision. The findings indicate that semantic understanding tends to develop earlier and more robustly than formal linguistic structures, underscoring the importance of a rich linguistic environment. This study highlights the intertwined roles of biological endowment and social interaction in early language learning and offers insight into the dynamic trajectory of linguistic development in early childhood.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find out the types of errors made by students in writing an English paragraph and to find out the types of errors that are generally made by these students. Grammatical error analysis is the analysis of errors in sorting out the right word with the desired meaning in the position or position of the sentence. The research used descriptive qualitative approach with analysis method. Data collection techniques used observation and measurement. Data collection tools used observation sheets and written tests. The analysis results found will be classified in the matrix: (1) syntax category and surface strategy, in the form of errors in noun phrase, verb phrase, transformation, and miscellanous. Then in the surface category, the types of errors that may be found are usually omission errors, additions, form errors, sequence errors, and substitutions. The most dominant syntactic error in students' writing is the error in noun phrase; and (2) in the communicative taxonomy category, the data taken is the result of the first semester English literature students' paragraph writing task. By knowing the types of grammatical errors, it can be used as a reference in providing materials and explanations and also knowing the difficulties that must be corrected immediately. The grammatical errors observed in the student writing tasks are indicative of typical interlanguage phenomena in foreign language acquisition. They highlight specific areas where English rules diverge from the learners' presumed L1, as well as the inherent complexities of mastering English's intricate verb system, article usage, and idiomatic expressions

Abstract

This study examines the linguistic landscape of Taman Margasatwa Ragunan, a public zoo in Jakarta, by focusing on the types and functions of signs found in the area. Linguistic landscape studies are significant because public signage reflects how language is used for communication, regulation, and identity construction in public spaces. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of signs and their functions based on the framework proposed by Landry and Bourhis. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consist of 60 signs collected through direct observation and photographic documentation. The signs are classified into two types, namely government signs and private signs, and are analyzed according to two functions: informative and symbolic. The findings reveal that government signs are more dominant than private signs. In terms of function, informative signs occur more frequently than symbolic signs. These results suggest that the linguistic landscape of Taman Margasatwa Ragunan primarily serves practical communication purposes while simultaneously representing national identity. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of language use in Indonesian public spaces.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of hybridity in the film Aquaman (2018), directed by James Wan, through the lens of Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial theory. While existing studies on Aquaman predominantly focus on mythological themes, heroism, or visual spectacle, limited attention has been given to its portrayal of postcolonial identity formation and hybridity. The purpose of this research is to analyze how hybridity is constructed through the main character, Arthur Curry, whose identity emerges from his dual belonging to the human world and the Atlantean realm. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes key scenes, narrative moments, and character dialogues that explicitly depict Arthur Curry’s negotiation of identity between two cultural worlds. The findings reveal that hybridity functions as the central mode of identity formation in Arthur Curry’s character. His identity is articulated through an in-between position marked by cultural ambivalence and an unstable sense of belonging. The interaction between the surface world and Atlantis further operates as a third space that enables the negotiation of meaning and challenges rigid binary oppositions. Moreover, Arthur’s character development demonstrates identity as a dynamic process of becoming, in which hybridity is continuously shaped and redefined rather than fixed. Overall, this study concludes that Aquaman (2018) can be understood as a postcolonial cultural text that represents hybridity as a fluid and ongoing process of identity formation within popular cinema.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of racial microaggression in the film Get Out (2017), directed by Jordan Peele, by applying Derald Wing Sue’s theory of racial microaggressions. The study aims to analyze how racial microaggression is constructed through the experiences of the main character, Chris Washington, whose position as a Black man situates him within a predominantly white social environment. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research analyzes selected scenes and dialogues that portray subtle forms of racial discrimination, stereotyping, and everyday racism encountered by the protagonist. The findings reveal that racial microaggression operates as a central mechanism through which racial power relations are normalized and concealed within seemingly polite, liberal, and well-intentioned interactions. Furthermore, the film illustrates how repeated exposure to racial microaggressions generates psychological tension, marginalization, and a persistent sense of surveillance for the racialized subject. Overall, this study concludes that Get Out (2017) functions as a critical cultural text that exposes racial microaggression as a pervasive and systemic form of contemporary racism embedded in everyday social interactions and popular cinema.
