Abstract

Contemporary English-language media discourse exerts a powerful influence over public opinion and attitudes, necessitating an exploration into the nuanced mechanisms of persuasive communication. This study examines the concept of synergistic pragmatic effects, focusing on how the combination of diverse language structures influences the efficacy of persuasive verbal interaction. Using a corpus of British and American newspaper articles and opinion essays, this research adopts a robust functional-linguistic approach. It applies both qualitative and quantitative analyses to dissect language techniques such as metaphor, irony, humor, emotionally charged lexemes, hyperbole, interdiscursive references, and rhetorical questions. The findings highlight the transformative power of expertly utilized synergies in achieving communicative goals and refining message interpretation. The interaction of varied language structures provokes particular cognitive and emotional reactions in audiences, shaping their perception of the presented information. This insight is crucial for discourse producers aiming to resonate with their target audience. Additionally, a heightened awareness of these synergies can make recipients less vulnerable to subtle speech manipulation. The practical implications of this research are most salient in the domain of teaching English as a foreign language for cross-cultural professional communication. By melding elements of functional-linguistic analysis, critical thinking, media literacy, and language proficiency, learners can better identify and counteract speech manipulation in media texts. This study augments the current literature on language's role in media communication, underscoring the need for continued research into the interplay between language, discourse, and persuasion in media.

Abstract

This ethnolinguistic analysis delves into the world of Panakawan characters in the Javanese play "Semar Mbangun Kahyangan," unveiling the profound tapestry of Javanese philosophy into their portrayal. The Panakawan, celebrated for their wit and linguistic artistry, stand as iconic figures in traditional Javanese wayang (shadow puppetry) and theater. This study explored their linguistic and cultural dimensions, illuminating their role as carriers of Javanese wisdom and cultural values. Employing ethnolinguistic methods, it examined the linguistic features, discourse patterns, and cultural intricacies interwoven within the dialogues and actions of the Panakawan characters. The analysis uncovers language's role in conveying Javanese philosophical concepts, moral teachings, and the interconnectedness of life and society within the play. It dissected the linguistic strategies, humor, and linguistic playfulness of the Panakawan, revealing their capacity to impart profound philosophical messages while captivating audiences. Furthermore, this study also revealed the inseparable bond between language, culture, and the embodiment of Javanese philosophy in the play "Semar Mbangun Kahyangan." It offers insights into the Panakawan's function as cultural emissaries and guardians of the Javanese ethos. This ethnolinguistic exploration extends an invitation to readers to uncover the concealed Javanese philosophy within the eloquent expressions and deeds of the Panakawan. It is expected to provide a significant contribution to ethnolinguistics, cultural studies, and philosophy by spotlighting the Panakawan characters' pivotal role as conduits for conveying the profound philosophy that shapes Javanese culture and character.

Abstract

Incidental vocabulary learning has recently been the center of attention among the ways of vocabulary learning. In this field, the effect of input modes on incidental vocabulary learning has been investigated since last century; however, not much research has been dedicated to it in the context of Iran. This study investigates the possible effect of input modes on incidental vocabulary learning and tries to determine the extent to which each input mode contributes to incidental vocabulary learning. A sample of 89 young female Iranian students from English language institutes in Zanjan province was selected for this end. They were assigned to four groups, including three experimental groups and one control group. All the groups participated in a 14-day study procedure (three sessions), including Vocabulary Language Test , pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest. The tests included a checklist and a multiple-choice test to measure the incidental vocabulary learning of participants. Several one-way ANOVAs were conducted to analyze the checklist and the multiple-choice test. The results indicated that the differences between input modes in terms of incidental vocabulary learning favored the Reading while Listening mode and, to a lesser degree, the Reading mode. However, only the Reading while Listening mode resulted in vocabulary retention. The data showed very little (almost no) advantage in favor of the Listening mode. These findings show that the purpose of vocabulary learning determines it means. That is, if learners aim at long-term retention, Reading while Listening better serves the purpose but both Reading and Reading while Listening result in short-term learning.

Abstract

Social media users come from various circles with different social and cultural statuses which will bring up diverse language variations. Additionally, language variations in speech events on social media certainly have characteristics that are distinctive and different from speech events in general. This study aimed at investigating types and forms of Indonesian language varieties occurred in speech events on social media. A quantitative and qualitative approaches was applied to accomplish the research objective. The quantitative approach was carried out using content analysis. The qualitative approach used was based on sociolinguistic theory. The research data were collected using the listening method (uninvolved conversation observation technique, recording technique, note-taking technique) and questionnaire method. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method to determine the form and percentage of language variety used in speech events on social media. In addition, Miles and Huberman's model was also used for data reduction, verification, conclusion drawing. The research found that language varieties in speech events on social media was not dominated by non-standard varieties, and inter-language mixture (code switching and code mixing). The characteristics of speech events on social media use, among others, informal language, daily-conversation language, unnatural context, and shortened writing. The results implied that the variety of language use on social media has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to research the use of codes, politeness, or hate speech on social media. Moreover, opportunities are also open to research the use of social media for language learning.

Abstract

This study investigated the pragmatic aspects of verbal attacks within Indonesian courtrooms, specifically examining speech acts and their alignment with Grice's maxims. While previous research has explored verbal attacks in legal contexts, this study is expected to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the pragmatic analysis of speech acts and Grice's maxims in Indonesian settings. Using a qualitative research approach and court transcripts, the speech acts contained in this research were systematically analyzed and categorized based on the type and illocutionary force while scrutinizing their adherence to Grice's maxims. The findings reveal a diverse range of speech acts deployed during verbal attacks, including assertive challenges and veiled accusations, often involving deliberate violations of Grice's maxims. Participants strategically flout maxims, utilizing implicatures to contribute to the confrontational nature of verbal attacks. This study is also expected to advance our understanding of the pragmatic dimensions of verbal attacks in Indonesian courtrooms and to describe the strategic use of language in the legal context. It has the potential to inform legal practice, enhancing comprehension of courtroom communication and promoting more effective and respectful exchanges within the Indonesian legal system.

Abstract

Considering that previous research had predominantly focused on explicit FFI as the preferred method to enhance explicit and implicit knowledge, This study examined the impact of implicit form-focused instruction (FFI) on learners’ explicit and implicit knowledge. This quasi-experimental study was conducted at a selected international school in Malaysia, with 30 participants divided into two intact groups: an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 15 participants. The explicit and implicit knowledge of learners were assessed utilizing four tests: Elicited Oral Imitation Test (EOIT), Timed Grammatical Judgment Test (TGJT), Untimed Grammatical Judgment Test (UGJT), and Metalinguistic Knowledge Test (MKT). ANCOVA and Scheffe’s tests were used to analyse the obtained data. The findings demonstrated that implicit FFI, like applying input enhancement techniques and recasting, significantly affected learners’ implicit and explicit knowledge. This finding suggests that learners do not need to improve explicit knowledge to enhance their implicit knowledge. Therefore, the significant role of implicit FFI in second language acquisition (SLA) should not be underestimated. Thus, teachers could consider the effectiveness of implicit FFI when crafting impactful lessons that consider implicit and explicit knowledge. Also, this study has provided reliable support indicating that L2 learners would substantially benefit from pedagogical activities, such as input enhancement and recasting.

Abstract

This research is an exploration into a wedding ceremonial discourse (WCD) in the contexts of Javanese traditional ceremonies. In doing so, the study focuses the observation in the practices in Yogyakarta and the surrounding regions, where Javanese traditional wedding is still a norm. The data were collected in two main sources, namely the spoken discourses from the speech makers in wedding ceremonies, and written references on wedding scripts used as supplementary data. Two main features are shown as a result of the study. First, Javanese language aesthetics are manifested in the expressions of delivered by the speech makers in the wedding ceremonies, despite the use of occasional  mix with Indonesian. Secondly, the use of the language in WCD also reflect the expected characters of the speech makers in the ceremonies. WCD shows dynamics of language use. Within its development, the discourse of wedding speech in the Javanese language will continue to sustain and develop under several changes with regards to the ceremonial procedures, sentence structure, diction, and language selection.

Abstract

Gender relations in Indonesian social practices tend to marginalize women, as manifested in various methods and instruments. One of them is the use of language in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (online KBBI), an Indonesian dictionary compiled by the Indonesian government. The dictionary is the primary standard and official reference for lemmas, meanings, and examples of sentences. This study aims to analyze the unequal relations between men and women reflected in linguistic units in the online KBBI and uncover their hidden meanings. Data was collected by searching, reading, and recording (documenting) the gender-related lemmas (words), definitions of lemmas, and examples of their use in sentences in the online KBBI from 7 May to 5 June 2022, and applying Derrida’s deconstruction approach to the words and their related features, with its main principles including (1) determining the meanings that are not determined (undecidable), (2) dismantling the ideology of the text (binary logic), (3) reversing the metaphysical hierarchy and neutralize it, and (4) disseminating the meaning. This study found a metaphysical hierarchy between women and men in binary concepts, including domestic-public hierarchy, passive object-active subject hierarchy, and negative-positive hierarchy for women and men regarding lemmas, meanings, and examples of sentences in the online KBBI. These findings suggest that KBBI tends to perpetuate unequal metaphysical hierarchies between women and men in Indonesia. This article is expected to contribute to language awareness and attitudes in Indonesia in addition to improving the online KBBI in terms of its language use.

Abstract

Phatic expressions serve a vital role in daily communication, fostering the strengthening of social bonds and the maintenance of interpersonal relationships among conversational participants. Despite their significance, a comprehensive investigation into phatic expressions in regional Indonesian languages remains notably lacking. To address this research gap, our study delves into the diverse forms and functions of phatic expression within the Bima language (BL). Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design, conversational interviews were conducted involving five participants, leading to the identification of fourteen distinct phatic utterances in BL. These expressions encompassed -ra, -na, -ku, -pu, rau, ke, ka, kan, rauja, oe, ha, ah, sih, and poda. Findings reveal that these phatic expressions serve a multitude of functions, encompassing affirmation, validation, explanation, expressions of surprise, conveying irritation, signaling uncertainty, emphasizing intensity, and issuing commands. Notably, the category of phatic expressions for affirmation exhibited the greatest diversity, featuring six distinct expressions. From a linguistic perspective, the use of this rich array of phatic expressions plays a pivotal role in maintaining seamless communication among speakers, contributing significantly to the fluidity of conversation. This study carries important pedagogical implications for language educators, particularly in Indonesia and regions where BL is spoken. Educators can enhance their students' linguistic repertoire, particularly in the context of the Bima language. Furthermore, by shedding light on the intricacies of phatic expression in BL, this research contributes to a broader exploration of language diversity and its sociolinguistic significance, further strengthening the documentation and preservation of regional languages.

Abstract

Despite the widely-cited potential of digital storytelling (DST), its use in EFL education remains under-explored in Indonesia. Thus, EFL pre-service teachers (PSTs) in Indonesia are not sufficiently prepared to create digital and multimodal teaching materials using pedagogical approaches like DST since  EFL education still prioritizes language and has not yet acknowledged other meaning-making modes for communication. In order to fill in the gap, we invited 20 pre-service teachers (aged 22 to 24) in Central  Java to be involved in our study. Employing a case study with intervention and using classroom observations, artifacts, and reflections to collect the data, this study aimed to increase pre-service teachers’ metasemiotic awareness and professional competence by involving these PSTs in examining the linguistic and visual modes whilst creating digital stories for EFL teaching. Furthermore, we discussed the approach to facilitate the processes to achieve this dual aim. The findings highlighted both the importance of teaching EFL from a multimodal approach and the pedagogical implications for Indonesian EFL pre-service teacher education.
