Abstract

This article offers an original hermeneutic reading of Leila S. Chudori’s modern Indonesian novel Laut Bercerita (Chudori, 2017), which narrates the abduction, torture, disappearance, and familial afterlife of pro-democracy activists around the end of Indonesia’s New Order. Existing scholarship has productively examined the novel through new historicism, sociology of literature, education, discourse analysis and representations of violence. This paper contributes a different argument: Laut Bercerita is not only a fictional representation of political repression but also a hermeneutic event that trains readers to interpret absence, testimonies, and historical responsibility. Drawing on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concepts of historically affected understanding and fusion of horizons and Paul Ricoeur’s theories of distanciation, the world of the text, narrative identity, and memory, the study applies a qualitative interpretive design to the Indonesian edition of the novel. The analysis identifies five interlocking interpretive structures: the sea as a counter-archive, torture as coercive state interpretation, the family table as everyday witness, Asmara Jati’s testimony as a bridge from private mourning to public memory, and the novel’s split temporal narration as an ethical refusal of closure. The findings suggest that the novel converts historical trauma into a demand for interpretation. In the Indonesian context, where enforced disappearances and debates over national history remain unresolved, Laut Bercerita positions literature as a civic medium through which readers encounter the disappeared not as victims of the past but as persistent claims on democratic memory.

Abstract

The prefix {meN-} gives rise to various allomorphs. Its attachment to base words has a considerable impact on word formation. This study aims to describe the form and process of word formation with the {meN-} prefix, along with the function and grammatical meaning of the resultant words. To achieve this goal, this study employed a theoretical approach to morphology. The data consist of 144 prefixed words bearing {meN-}, sourced from a popular Chicklit story titled “Warning: Physical Distancing!” by Kaggren, which is available on the Wattpad application. Data were collected using a documentation technique and processed with AntConc 4.2.4.0 software. The analytical stages included (1) data collection, (2) data reduction, (3) data presentation, and (4) data conclusion. Three principal findings were reported. First, the base words receiving the prefix {meN-} belong to the noun, verb, adjective, and adverb categories. Second, the prefix {meN-} attached to a base word either changes the word class (derivational) or does not (inflectional). Third, the grammatical meanings of {meN-} identified include: (1) expressing an active transitive action, (2) expressing a state of becoming or indicating a process, (3) expressing the meaning of making, (4) expressing the meaning of uttering, (5) expressing the meaning of producing a sound, and (6) expressing the meaning of giving.

Abstract

This study examines the morphological forms of abbreviation employed as communicative strategies in tweets published on the Indonesian Twitter account @jogmfs. Adopting a descriptive qualitative research design, the data were collected from tweets posted on November 1, 2023, through systematic observation, documentation, and note-taking techniques. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using Kridalaksana's (2007) morphological framework, which classifies abbreviated forms into five categories: singkatan (initialism), akronim (acronym), penggalan (clipping), kontraksi (contraction), and lambang huruf (letter symbol). The findings reveal that abbreviation practices on the @jogmfs account manifest across three of these five categories, those are initialism, acronym, and clipping. Initialism emerging as the most dominant form distributed across eight sub-patterns of letter retention. The absence of contraction and letter symbol in the dataset suggests that the communicative norms of this particular digital community favor specific morphological shortening strategies. These findings affirm that the structural character limitation inherent to Twitter as a microblogging platform constitutes a primary driver of abbreviation use, compelling users to adopt linguistically compressed forms that prioritize communicative efficiency.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly entered English as a foreign language (EFL) academic writing through tools that draft, paraphrase, translate, summarize, evaluate, and imitate disciplinary texts. The central question for language education is no longer whether learners will encounter these tools but how pedagogies can help them use AI critically, ethically, and rhetorically. This article offers an integrative conceptual review of peer-reviewed scholarship on AI-assisted writing, automated writing evaluation, digital literacies, identity, academic integrity, and EFL/ESL pedagogy. Drawing on studies from applied linguistics, language education, educational technology, and discourse studies, this paper synthesizes four recurring issues: AI writing systems as feedback infrastructures, learner agency and identity in human-AI composing, the risks of dependency and homogenized discourse, and the need for assessment practices that value process evidence rather than detection alone. The review argues that GenAI should be conceptualized as a literacy environment that mediates language, power, authorship and intercultural communication. It proposes a Critical GenAI Writing Literacy Cycle comprising six stages: orienting to task and genre, prompting strategically, comparing outputs, verifying evidence, transforming texts through human revision, and disclosing AI use through reflective accountability. The framework contributes to JLLI's scope of JLLI by connecting applied linguistics, technology-enhanced language learning, digital discourse, cultural studies, and language education. It concludes that responsible GenAI integration requires pedagogical designs that protect linguistic diversity, strengthen critical reading, and position EFL writers as accountable authors, rather than passive consumers of machine-generated prose.

Abstract

Indonesia's English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms are situated within one of the world's most linguistically diverse ecologies, where English, Bahasa Indonesia, local languages, religious registers, and digital vernaculars intersect in daily communication. However, classroom practices and policy discourses often continue to treat English learning as a movement toward monolingual performance, while local languages and students' digital repertoires are positioned as distractions rather than resources. This conceptual paper develops an integrative review of Scopus- and Web of Science-indexed scholarship on translanguaging, own-language use, digital literacies, and Indonesian EFL education to propose a culturally responsive digital translanguaging framework for Indonesia. This review synthesizes international theoretical work with Indonesia-based studies on translanguaging practices, teacher attitudes, digital literacy in academic writing, social media for English acquisition, and critical media literacy. It argues that pedagogically guided movement across English, Bahasa Indonesia, local languages, and multimodal digital texts can support linguistic awareness, cultural continuity, critical literacy, and learner agency when designed with clear academic purposes. The proposed framework consists of five interrelated principles: repertoire recognition, purposeful language movement, local cultural anchoring, multimodal production, and reflective assessment. This study contributes to JLLI's interdisciplinary scope of the JLLI by connecting language education, cultural studies, digital discourse, and community-oriented pedagogy. The study concludes with implications for curriculum design, teacher education, assessment, and future empirical research in Indonesian multilingual classrooms.

Abstract

The encounter between computational methods and the study of language and literature has moved from a specialist pursuit to a mainstream concern over the past two decades, an acceleration made abrupt by the public release of large language models (LLMs) in late 2022. However, the bibliometric evidence documenting this transformation is fragmented across incompatible databases, disciplinary labels, and short observation windows, leaving scholars without an integrated map of the field. This article synthesizes the quantitative findings of the principal Scopus- and Web of Science–indexed bibliometric studies published between 2004 and 2024, complemented by seminal works that define the intellectual tradition of Digital Humanities (DH) and computational literary studies. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidance, twenty-four core studies and foundational works were selected for a structured performance and science-mapping synthesis. The evidence shows a rapidly expanding but structurally uneven field: corpus sizes reported by prior analyses range from 185 documents in applied linguistics to more than 8,000 across the broad DH landscape; publication output in the artificial intelligence and language stream rose by roughly 190% between 2017 and 2022; and ChatGPT-focused educational research grew from a single indexed document in 2022 to 211 in 2023. Geographically, leadership is contested between the United States and China, while the field’s most cited outlet remains the former Literary and Linguistic Computing (now Digital Scholarship in the Humanities). Six thematic clusters emerged: natural language processing and intelligent tutoring, computer-assisted language learning, automated writing evaluation, computational stylistics, AI authorship and academic integrity, and speech-and multimodal interfaces. The review argues that the field’s central tension—between quantitative ambition and interpretive validation—remains unresolved and is intensified rather than settled by the generative AI. The implications for language and literature scholarship and an agenda for methodologically transparent computational inquiry are outlined.

Abstract

Debt cases create bigger problems that can even lead to criminal cases. Forensic linguistics has a very big role to reveal facts in a bright light with a scientific approach. This study aims to describe and uncover cases of language crimes due to debts that lead to defamation and violations of the ITE law with a pragmatic theoretical approach. The research data were collected using a documentation technique. The data of this research are written data of legal cases that already have inkrah status. The data are sourced from the website of the Directory of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia. The results of this study prove that the lingual forms used by the defendant contain negative meanings, such as dog and cheater. Judging from the context of the speech, the defendant's speech took place on social media, which has the potential to grab the attention of many people so that the defendant's speech can have a perlocutionary effect on the victim. However, based on the analysis of presumption, presupposition, precondition, and entailment, the defendant's speech is the output of a series of events and conditions that have harmed her. This means that the defendant and the victim are two parties who are harmed by each other. Thus, the verdict issued must also consider the context of the events behind the presence of the legal case speech as a whole so that the verdict is fair to both parties.
