Abstract

The language variations and substance of Papuan millennials' speech on the Instagram platform are unique. The choice of language used reflects the fact of speaking Indonesian with a distinctive Papuan dialect. This study aims to describe language variation in Papuan dialect Indonesian instragram discourse. This research is categorized as qualitative-descriptive research with a socio-pragmatic approach. The study data are words, idioms, terms, and quoted sentences as well as features of Papuan millennials' Instagram discourse. The data is sourced from the Igers' accounts which are taken purposively and representatively. The researcher acts as an observer (silent reader /host follower). The data is analyzed inductively through the process of description, interpretation, and explanation. The research findings show that the orientation of language choices made by Papuan dialectal Indonesian Instagram account owners leads to four (4) patterns of language variation, namely: (1) patterns of Papuan dialectal Indonesian (IDP); (2) patterns of Indonesian (IL); (3) patterns of code-switching of Papuan dialectal Indonesian-Foreign Language (IDP"FL); (4) patterns of code-mixing of Papuan dialectal Indonesian and foreign languages (IDP↔FL). The results of this study illustrate that there is a variety of Papuan dialectal Indonesian (IDP) among young Papuans on social media. With these findings, people can find out about the context of language use in society, especially on Instagram. The findings of this study also strengthen the view that language is a cultural product that cannot be separated from its social context.

Abstract

This study investigates the motivation of polyglots to learn multiple languages, a topic not extensively studied in literature. It focuses on the role of motivation as a stimulus triggering consistent behavior in learning a foreign language, offering a unique perspective on this phenomenon. Purpose: The present study examines the diverse motivational backgrounds of polyglots and investigates the relationship between these motivations and the multilingual acquisition of foreign languages by polyglots. The study involved five informants who participated in semi-structured interviews, utilizing a descriptive case study approach for data collection. Results: The results demonstrated that the four main reasons why polyglots learned numerous foreign languages were: (a) enjoyment; (b) social interaction; (c) career advancement; and (d) intellectual pursuits. Prior studies have mostly shown that people who are studying foreign languages do so primarily for academic, professional, and social reasons. Apart from the three reasons, polyglots learned multiple languages for their own enjoyment. This is the main justification for their dedication to long-term multilingual education. Conclusion: The results of this study advance our knowledge of the motivations behind multilingual polyglots' acquisition of foreign languages. It is envisaged that language learners will successfully acquire numerous foreign languages by adopting or modifying the research participants' motives. To sustain kids' desire to learn foreign languages, educators, parents, and policymakers can think about, select, and construct engaging language activities as well as appropriate language teaching approaches.

Abstract

Up to the present time, the public is more familiar with the figures of Kartini, Dewi Sartika, and Cut Nyak Dien as icons of Indonesian women emancipation fighters. In reality, for hundreds of years before Kartini was born, in the 7th century, the Kingdom of Kalingga has been led by a woman, Queen Shima. Not much of the historical data has recorded her name and roles. In the midst of this condition, there were published two novels which enumerate the way of life of Queen Shima, entitled Putri Kalingga (Wibidharma, 2022) and Avatar Keadilan: Pesona Kebajikan Maharatu Shima dari Negeri Kalingga (Nararosa, 2010). The present study is aimed at understanding the existence of Queen Shima as a pioneer of Nusantara feminism by using the perspectives of feminist literary approach. The study was qualitative feminist research. The data sources of the study were the two novels Putri Kalingga and Avatar Keadilan: Pesona Kebajikan Maharatu Shima dari Negeri Kalingga. Data were the narratives that tell about the characteristics and way of life of Queen Shima as King of Kalingga Kingdom which contain information about her position and roles in Nusantara women history. Findings of the study show that Queen Shima, whose life story is told in the two novels Putri Kalingga and Avatar Keadilan is not only a fictitious character, but also a historical figure from the 7th century, who is hauled up as King of Kalingga Kingdom not because of inheriting the crown from her parents, but because of the intelligence, wisdom, and leardership capacities she has. In the perspectives of feminist literary criticism, Queen Shima represents Nusantara feminisim that has been practiced in the era of the Kalingga kingdom.

Abstract

The vocal beauty play a vital role in the master of ceremonies (MC) profession. This study explores and elaborates the vocal exercises of MCs in Javanese weddings. The data were collected by recording the speeches of three leading MCs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In this study, the researcher was the key instrument. The data were validated by material experts and ten MCs from Yogyakarta MC Community (Paguyuban Pranatacara Yogyakarta, PPY) in a focus group discussion (FGD). The ethnopoetic analysis was carried out focusing on the beauty of the text and vocal. While the text was described descriptively, the vocal was elaborated using notation. The data analysis steps included transcription, identification, codification, classification, description and interpretation, elaboration, and inference. The findings show that (1) vocal exercises are more important than linguistic and literary, physical, or wear-matching exercises; (2) vocal exercises can be done both physically and mechanically; (3) vocal exercises depend on the wedding ceremony type/style, situation, and the existence of gending (Javanese orchestral composition); (4) there are three main types of vocal exercises: lamba song, candra song, and tembang (sung poerty); (5) lamba can be sung by MC in many different ceremonies, situations, places, laras (scale), pathet (mode), and gending; (6) candra song has to be accompanied by gending, either ladrang or ketawang; (7) tembang can be performed in solo, semi-collaboration, or collaboration; and (9) polyharmony occurs when there is a harmony among MC's tones, gamelan's laras and tones, and waranggana's (female singers) tones.

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to reveal the form and meaning of threatening speech in the Mahabharata novel by Nyoman S. Pendit. This research is worth carrying out considering that there is no research which discusses about the threat speech in ancient Javanese classical epics through a pragmatic perspective. The methodology approach is a mixed methods which refers to combine a qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The data of threatening speech is analysed using Miles and Huberman techniques (1984). The theory used to determine the indicators of threatening speech is based on Fraser's (1998) theory, to analyze the form using Searle's (1979) theory, and to explain the meaning using Lí¶bner's (2013) theory. The results of the data analysis showed that the forms of threatening speech that tended to be used is expressive illocutions. This  illocution aims to express the psychological attitude or feelings of the speaker towards his/her interlocutor. So, the power of speech that reaches the interlocutor is a form of feelings of inferiority and humiliation due to the use of diction that tends to be negative such as the statements of "˜perempuan jahannam', "˜manusia jahannam', "˜lelaki penuh dosa','manusia celaka', "˜najis',  and "˜pengecut'. Finally, the meaning of threatening speech that tends to be found is the meaning of speech. This indicates that the meaning of a threatening speech cannot be understood easily. So,  it is necessary to consider the context of the utterance to understand it.

Abstract

Illuminations are decorative framing texts that are related to the content of the text. Illuminating Javanese manuscripts contain a variety of interesting symbols and ornaments that need to be revealed its meanings. One of the dominant ornaments in Javanese manuscript illumination is in the form of birds. The data of this study were 150 Javanese manuscripts with illumination from the collection of Sonobudoyo Museum and the Library of Balai Bahasa Yogyakarta. This research was built using qualitative methods with a hermeneutic approach to describe the manifestation of the bird symbol found in the illumination of Javanese texts. The hermeneutic approach is used in the analytical approach because the data used must be understood deeply through the symbols that appear in the illumination. The results of the present research show that: (1) the most common bird species used in illumination are eagles manifested as Garudha yeksa, sawat, and mirong, (2) the majority rationale (91%) of creating illumination of bird motifs is as the representation of the King, and (3) results of symbol interpretation establish a relationship between the symbol and the text. There were ornaments symbolising the King such as snakes, birds, crowns, batik motifs, leaves, houses, palaces, and others. Most ornaments contain meaning corroborating the contents of the manuscripts. For example, the change of power is symbolised by the cakra manggilingan, the HB (Hamengku Buwana) symbol shows the king on throne, and the bird symbolises and represents the king. The ornaments of birds in particular have the functions of didactic, aesthetic, and legitimacy.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the students' vocabulary through quiz-based application. Therefore, the problems that students have are lack of vocabulary skills and distraction from their gadgets. This paper also gives alternative options for teachers who teach 7th grade in junior high school to using quiz-based applications to increase students' interest in vocabulary skills. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 29 participants. The instrument used a questionnaire and test to ensure students' vocabulary skills. As mentioned before, students had a lack of understanding of vocabulary and distractions from their gadgets. The effects of quiz-based programs, especially Quizlet, on seventh-grade students' vocabulary knowledge are apparent from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint. The benefits seen in test results and student participation show how successful it is to include technology-driven tools into language instruction. However, this study has limitations that can be used for next other researchers. It is advised that educational institutions and technology developers continue to work together to guarantee that quiz-based solutions are continuously improved and customized to fit the changing demands of instructors and students
