This study explores the dialectics between lexical semantics and cultural semantics through linguistic and anthropological perspectives, aiming to reveal the dynamic interplay between language meaning and cultural contexts. Lexical semantics analyzes the structural relations of word meaning within the language system, while cultural semantics emphasizes the role of social values, norms, and collective experiences in shaping meaning. Using a qualitative methodology that combines discourse analysis and linguistic ethnography, the findings highlight a reciprocal relationship: lexical meaning is enriched by cultural dimensions, and cultural concepts are mediated through lexical expressions. The study underscores the necessity of integrating both approaches to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of language and its socio-cultural realities. The results contribute to advancing interdisciplinary semantic studies and fostering cross-cultural communication.

This study aims to theoretically examine the innovation of balaghah learning through the development of infographic-based e-modules as an effort to enhance the effectiveness and attractiveness of the teaching and learning process. Balaghah, as one of the important branches of Arabic linguistics, is often considered difficult for students to understand due to its abstract nature and dense concepts. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate learning media that can visualize balaghah concepts in a simple, systematic, and interactive manner. Infographic-based e-modules are considered relevant because they combine the power of visuals with concise conceptual explanations, thus facilitating comprehension and retention of the material. This article discusses the theoretical foundation of e-module development, the principles of effective infographic design, and its implications for balaghah learning. The study emphasizes that the use of infographics in e-modules has the potential to increase learning motivation, strengthen conceptual understanding, and support more efficient independent learning. These theoretical findings are expected to serve as a reference for Arabic language learning media developers and educators to integrate visual technology into balaghah instruction.

This study investigates the deceptive language strategies employed in PayPal Bitcoin scam emails, analyzed through the frameworks of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and forensic linguistics. A corpus of fifty scam emails was examined to uncover the linguistic devices used by scammers to manipulate recipients. The analysis reveals the systematic use of urgency, fear, false promises, impersonation, and credibility construction as dominant strategies in digital deception. These linguistic practices demonstrate how scammers exploit psychological vulnerabilities to gain victims’ compliance. By applying CDA, the study highlights how scam emails reproduce power asymmetries and ideologies of authority, while forensic linguistics provides insights into identifying stylistic markers of deception for investigative purposes. The findings align with and extend prior research on online fraud, phishing, and deceptive communication, offering practical implications for cybercrime prevention and victim awareness.

Penelitian ini mengkaji "Jaman Bendhu" sebagai memori kolektif masyarakat Kediri, Blitar, dan Tulungagung dalam merespons bencana alam. Konsep Jaman Bendhu (masa kemarahan alam) menjadi kerangka bersama untuk memahami rentetan letusan Gunung Kelud dan banjir Sungai Brantas yang dialami komunitas tersebut. Dengan metode kualitatif (etnografi-historis), penelitian ini menggali narasi lisan, legenda lokal, ritual, serta pengalaman warga lintas generasi. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa memori kolektif Jaman Bendhu hidup melalui legenda Lembu Suro (sumpah Gunung Kelud) dan ramalan Jayabaya tentang zaman kalabendu. Ingatan komunal ini diwariskan lewat cerita rakyat dan tradisi ritual (misalnya upacara larung sesaji Kelud dan simbol Tetek Melek) yang berfungsi sebagai penanda peringatan bencana sekaligus pedoman moral. Memori kolektif tersebut terbukti memperkuat kesiapsiagaan masyarakat: warga lebih waspada terhadap tanda alam, cepat melakukan evakuasi mandiri, serta mempertahankan gotong royong pascabencana. Namun, tantangan muncul pada generasi muda yang cenderung menjauh dari cerita tradisional, sehingga integrasi kearifan lokal dengan edukasi dan manajemen bencana modern menjadi penting. Secara keseluruhan, memori kolektif Jaman Bendhu merupakan modal budaya yang berperan signifikan dalam meningkatkan ketangguhan komunitas menghadapi bencana alam.

Penelitian ini mengkaji peran busana sebagai simbol status sosial Muslim pribumi pada awal abad ke-20 di Hindia Belanda. Fokus kajian diarahkan pada bagaimana pilihan, bentuk, dan gaya berpakaian menjadi representasi identitas, hierarki sosial, serta respons terhadap pengaruh politik dan budaya kolonial. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis historis-kultural dengan menelaah arsip kolonial, foto-foto dokumenter, catatan perjalanan, dan karya sastra sezaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa busana tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai penutup tubuh, tetapi juga sebagai penanda kelas sosial, keislaman, dan afiliasi politik. Pengaruh kolonial memunculkan diferensiasi yang jelas antara pakaian golongan bangsawan, ulama, pedagang, dan rakyat, baik melalui bahan, warna, maupun aksesori yang dikenakan. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa busana berperan sebagai media komunikasi non-verbal yang kompleks, mencerminkan dinamika interaksi antara budaya pribumi, Islam, dan kekuasaan kolonial.

This research examines the Agrarian Law policy that became the transition path of land conversion around the Baki Pandeyan factory area. The research begins with the arrival of the Dutch to occupy Baki since the establishment of the open door policy, the global economic crisis, Japanese exploitation in Solo in expelling the Dutch, to the post-independence political power shift in making asset ownership policies from foreign private entities to local communities. The main focus of the research lies on historical, social, legal processes. The results show that the implementation of the Agrarian Law became the main instrument that shaped the historical process of land rights around the Baki Pandeyan factory. The land use transition referred to in this research explains how the land around Baki in 1870 functioned as a Dutch company area until it turned into public facilities, government offices, agricultural areas and residential areas of Baki residents, until today. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding the interaction between legal changes and social dynamics in a historical context to see its impact on local communities. Thus, this article not only aims to present an overview of the impact of agrarian policy in Baki, identifying how these lands were used by the Dutch and local communities, but also as a form of effort to introduce areas and buildings in the Baki area that have traces of historical heritage from the Dutch colonial era.

This article explores the phenomenon of language change and cultural transformation triggered by the consumption and production of content on TikTok. Using a qualitative approach based on content analysis and in-depth interviews, this study identifies distinctive language patterns, such as the mixing of Indonesian and English codes, the adoption of new vocabulary from global trends, and changes in word meanings. The results show that the use of TikTok drives language shifts, where local languages tend to be marginalized in online interactions, while informal and expressive language styles become increasingly dominant. Additionally, cultural transformation is evident in the growing influence of global popular culture, which shapes the identity, entertainment preferences, and lifestyle of Generation Z in Indonesia. However, creative adaptations are also observed, where local cultural elements are packaged in global formats to attract a broader audience. These findings provide insights into the role of social media in shaping language and cultural dynamics, while also opening opportunities to utilize it as a medium for preserving local identity in the digital age.

Keterampilan berbicara bahasa Inggris menjadi kompetensi inti yang menentukan daya saing mahasiswa di era global. Namun, fakta menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia masih tertinggal, dengan skor EF English Proficiency Index 2024 sebesar 468–473 dan berada di posisi 80 dari 116 negara, masuk kategori Low Proficiency. Rendahnya keterampilan berbicara ini dipicu oleh minimnya akses terhadap lingkungan praktik bahasa yang autentik, keterbatasan interaksi dengan penutur asli, dan metode pembelajaran yang masih berpusat pada teori, bukan komunikasi nyata. Kondisi ini menimbulkan urgensi bagi dunia pendidikan untuk segera mengadopsi solusi inovatif yang efektif, cepat, dan adaptif. ChatGPT hadir sebagai terobosan tutor percakapan virtual berbasis kecerdasan buatan yang mampu memberikan latihan real time, umpan balik instan, dan simulasi komunikasi global tanpa batas ruang dan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas ChatGPT dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara bahasa Inggris mahasiswa di era digital melalui desain eksperimen semu (pre-test dan post-test) pada dua kelompok: kelompok eksperimen yang menggunakan ChatGPT dan kelompok kontrol dengan metode konvensional. Analisis data menggunakan uji-t untuk mengukur perbedaan signifikan antar kelompok. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan ChatGPT sebagai tutor percakapan virtual terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pembelajaran bahasa, mempercepat peningkatan kompetensi komunikasi mahasiswa, dan mempersiapkan generasi muda untuk bersaing di panggung internasional, dengan nilai uji-t 0,95 yang termasuk kategori efek besar.
