Abstract

This research investigates the distribution and challenges of proform use among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at Tadulako University, focusing on proform verb phrases (ProVP) and proform prepositional phrases (ProPP). Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data was gathered through tests and questionnaires from samples of 36 fifth-semester students. The analysis reveals that verb phrase proforms, especially those involving tense and aspect, are more challenging for EFL students compared to prepositional phrase proforms. Four factors influencing proform use were identified: first language interference, limited practice in real life, lack of motivation, and ineffective teaching methods. These findings highlight the need for enhanced syntactic training in EFL instruction to improve students’ understanding and application of proforms, supporting more effective sentence construction and overall linguistic competence.

Abstract

As part of the preparation of a critical edition of the Epistle to the Galatians in its Ge’ez version one needs to examine various manuscripts. Exploring 16 Ge’ez manuscripts the author has collated all types of variants and come up with the hypothesis of three different groups of Ethiopian manuscripts as far as the Epistle to the Galatians is concerned. Just as some variants like Galatians 6:14 help to identify groups of manuscripts, the majority of variants are not caused by scribal dependence on earlier manuscripts. In other words, the innovations and errors are polygenetic, namely the fruit of independent scribal activities. This article presents such variants, classified according to transposition, banalization, incongruity of grammatical number, omission of letters, polar errors, and metathesis.

Abstract

This study investigates vowel epenthesis in Greek and aims to answer how this process facilitates language acquisition. More specifically, properties of vowel epenthesis are examined, such as the position and quality of the epenthetic vowel as well as whether it is affected by the stress system of the ambient language. Our findings are based on spontaneous speech collected from three Greek-speaking children aged 1;6.26 - 2;10.9 years old. An inserted vowel is observed at the end of monosyllabic and disyllabic loanwords so as to license a consonant that is not permitted in coda position by resyllabifying it to onset position in the new syllable. It additionally creates trochaic rhythm, which is the default stress pattern in Greek. This is especially shown from disyllabic loanwords and non-loanwords with iambic stress, which changes into trochaic with the addition of the new syllable. Further, only [+anterior] vowels are inserted due to them being always adjacent to a [CORONAL] consonant with which they share the same distinctive feature of place, namely, [+anterior]. The children’s data are analyzed according to Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky, 1993), in which the ranking of specific constraints can explain and interpret the properties of epenthesis.

Abstract

Bengkulu is a province located on the west coast of Sumatra, which has six regional languages with nine different dialects. The most widely used dialect is the Serawai-Pasemah dialect, which has more than 400,000 speakers and is spread across various areas in Bengkulu Province to South Sumatra Province. This Serawai-Pasemah dialect is part of the Malayic dialect, whose hallmark is a unique greeting system because it is used to respect and show close kinship. A greeting is a set of words, morphemes, phrases, or expressions to greet or start a conversation. This study focuses on lexeme formation on kinship greetings and is limited to the Pasemah dialect. The research design is descriptive qualitative. The data source is three informants who are native speakers of the Pasemah dialect. Using the content analysis technique, the research results show that the lexemes formation in Pasemah kinship greetings is found only in affixation, clipping, compounding, and reduplication.

Abstract

The extinction of a language is a challenge for academics, especially those who focus on the field of linguistics. Several factors in the extinction of a language are the influence of globalization, majority and minority ethnic groups, the young generation's low interest in ancestral culture, and intermarriage. One solution to prevent this is to increase linguistic studies on linguistic lexicons that are related to culture, objects or flora and fauna that were once part of the livelihood of an area but have disappeared because they have disappeared. This research was conducted with the aim of explaining the Ecolexicon ke-nila-an (Nilam/Patchouli) in the Nias language and the classification of the ecolexicon based on grammatical form. This research uses descriptive qualitative analysis methods. The research data used is primary data obtained through interviews and documentation. Analysis of research data shows that there are 39 ecolexicons found in adjectives, followed by 28 nouns, 9 verbs and 2 adjectives.

Abstract

This paper examines the linguistic meaning of language in memes and jokes on the internet, focusing on the dynamic nature of online platforms like Reddit. It aims to understand the language distinctions underlying humor found in these platforms, which often defy accepted linguistic conventions. Implicit meaning, derived from the verb "to imply," refers to something that a speech implies but does not state outright. In conversational encounters, the idea of cooperation between speakers is inextricably linked to the understanding of implicature. The paper highlights the importance of understanding the linguistic features of jokes and memes on the internet, as they become a breeding ground for linguistic innovation. The meaning of a sentence can be divided into conventional meaning, conversational implicatures, and conventional implicatures. Internet memes and jokes, often used for propaganda, satire, and defamation, can contain implicatures. The study examined internet-published memes and jokes involving implicatures and aimed to identify other joke styles and implicatures. Gender-related implicatures are common in jokes, with conventional implicature being the most common. Examples include jokes about women, cultural basic jokes, and social phenomena. The analysis of implicatures in jokes involves evaluating extrinsic linguistic factors, including social and cultural dimensions, and the influence of context on the inferred meaning. Overall, the interpretation of internet memes and jokes is influenced by their linguistic features.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to (1) To find out the types of conversational implicatures (2) to describe how the implicature exist (to find out the types of non-observance maxim of cooperative principle) and (3) To find the purpose of generate implicature. This research was descriptive qualitative. The data of this research were the dialog in BBC News Indonesia’s Interview with Joko Widodo. The researcher obtained the data by note-taking technique. First, the researcher watched the video interview and make the transcript from the dialogues. Then, the researcher re-read the transcribed dialogues and classified the data according to theory of implicature and non-observance maxim of cooperative principle by Grice. In the data analysis the researcher applied qualitative data method by Miles and Huberman (2014). The results of the research found there were 16 particular implicatures identified out of 18 of data in the dialogue, while the other 2 were general implicatures. Additionally, the researcher identified a lot of disregarded maxim forms. The most frequently disregarded maxim was the flouting of the maxim of quantity. Based on the research findings, it was observed that Joko Widodo often commits violations of the maxim of quantity in order to provide additional information or to strengthen his arguments.
