Abstract

German textbooks typically emphasize grammatical and lexical aspects while paying less attention to pragmatic elements, especially politeness strategies that reflect native speakers’ cultural values. The study examined polite expression forms, functions, and the cultural value of German textbooks and analyzed their relevance to the development of intercultural competence. We used a qualitative research design based on the German textbook Netzwerk A1, A2, and B1, authored by Dengler et al. (2020) and published by Ernst Klett Sprachen GmbH as a data source. Data were collected through reading and recording techniques, then analyzed using pragmatic matching and distributional methods. The validity was checked through observation, triangulation, and peer review. The analysis revealed five main categories of politeness forms: (1) grammatical and lexical forms, (2) standard expressions of politeness, (3) modal particles, (4) formal pronouns Sie 'your', and (5) indirect questions. These forms consistently showed German cultural values such as social hierarchy, formality, and politeness norms. Given the results, we suggest that German textbooks should include more sociopragmatic elements to help students develop better cross-cultural communication skills.

Abstract

The language diversity in Indonesia raises the phenomenon of language interference as occurs in Sundanese Banten students when speaking English as a global language. However, as language learning is never neutral, the process is oft-shaped by power relations and ideologies, while the result is often valued based on the linguistic meritocracy. Therefore, as related to the Sundanese Banten dialect, this study aims: (1) to identify the types of dialectal interference that occur when Sundanese-Banten EFL learners speak English, and (2) to explore the system of values that emerges from linguistic meritocracy in relation to their pronunciation, as shaped by global society views. While using a qualitative method to find and analyze the dialectical interference; the Bourdieu theory, language accent as a symbolic power through linguistic meritocracy, is also used to explore the intersection between the language pronunciation reality, the linguistic meritocracy in it, and the societal system of value. After going through a series of analyses, there are seven primary interferences that internalized into the Sundanese Banten dialect, they are Lenition, Fornition, Syncope, Apocope, Epenthesis, and Prague as several intermittent letters were found such as [ð] changed to [d], [ʤ] to [g], [v] to [f], [z] to [s], and [r]. These interferences, while linguistically common, are socially charged; they reflect how systems of linguistic value classify learners according to perceived intelligence and cultural capital. In this sense, pronunciation becomes not merely a linguistic feature but a marker of social legitimacy and symbolic capital within the ideology of linguistic meritocracy.

Abstract

One of the psychological issues often experienced by women is a fear of independence. This issue can affect women from diverse backgrounds and is reflected in the novel Cantik Itu Luka. This study aims to explain the variations, causes, and coping efforts related to women's fear of independence as depicted in the novel. The research employs a psychoanalytic approach. Data were collected through close reading and detailed note-taking. The validity of the data was ensured through semantic validity using intrarater techniques involving repeated and careful readings. The findings reveal three key variations of fear of independence experienced by the character Si Cantik: (1) yearning for a partner who can provide protection, care, and happiness, (2) a desire to always be looked after, and (3) anxiety about living alone and being abandoned by a partner. The causes of this fear are: (1) overprotective parenting that excessively interferes in a child’s life, and (2) a negative self-concept related to physical appearance. Despite these tendencies, Si Cantik eventually overcomes her fear through: (1) recognizing her inner strength and potential, and (2) learning to respect herself while accepting her weaknesses.

Abstract

Higaonon [mba], spoken by an estimated 452,000 people in north-central Mindanao, remains undocumented despite its vitality as a ‘developing language.’ The present study addresses this gap by documenting the Opol variety in Misamis Oriental through a descriptive analysis of its phonology, morphology, and syntax. Data collected from tribal leaders using elicited words and sentence lists reveal a system comprising 16 consonant phonemes, five vowels, and phonemic stress. Lexical items are categorized as open classes (nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs) and closed classes (pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, and linker). In alignment with other Philippine languages, Higaonon exhibits predicate-initial word order and includes both verbal and non-verbal sentence types. By contextualizing these findings with previous orthographic work by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (2023), which documented vowel variation among Higaonon communities in Bukidnon, Agusan, and Misamis Oriental, the study highlights both convergence and divergence within the language. The description of the Opol variety complements earlier orthographic observations and establishes a foundation for comparative dialectological research across Mindanao. In addition to its linguistic significance, the study supports cultural preservation, addresses prejudice against Indigenous Peoples, and serves as a resource for Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE).

Abstract

Javanese culture is widely characterized as a high-context society that prioritizes indirect communication to maintain social harmony. This study empirically tests this long-held assumption by examining the pragmatic structure of directive speech acts in contemporary data. Data were drawn from twenty short films produced by the Provincial Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta and analyzed using a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods approach. Contrary to the classical paradigm, the analysis reveals a prevalent use of head act-oriented structures, indicating a preference for direct communication. This directness is frequently strategically combined with mitigating adjuncts, while the use of aggravating adjuncts is rare. Furthermore, a tendency toward simple pragmatic structures highlights a cultural emphasis on clarity and efficiency. These findings challenge the notion that indirectness is a necessary component of politeness. Instead, they suggest that in modern Javanese communication, directness and politeness operate as complementary, rather than contradictory, goals. Concise and direct utterances are not inherently impolite but are interpreted within the governing sociocultural and hierarchical context. This finding also indicates a sociolinguistic shift towards more direct and effective communication due to modernization.

Abstract

Linguistic instruments together with informatics tools can be used to detect fake news narratives, which are sometimes increasingly difficult to distinguish from true news. This study tries to design the stages of detection of lies in the fake news discourse found in French alternative media using linguistic features. This approach is also known as forensic linguistic theory developed by Malcolm Coulthard. The data used are survey result among the francophone media consumers in Indonesia and articles originated from three different French alternative news media platform that have been identified as fake news by checking through fake news verification sites available on several investigator media platforms. These three articles are classified and analyzed using intertextuality and interdiscursivity methods within the forensic linguistic concepts. Critical perspective is used as the conceptual framework throughout this research. The results of the analysis show that 14.3% of respondents are not able to identify the fake news in the media they consumed. The linguistic features within 254 sentences contained deceits filtered from three medias tend to often use lexical morpheme components and syntactic patterns that provoke emotions and empathy in readers. Furthermore sentences structures are found in passive patterns frequently and use impersonal subjects as markers to a fewer references and cognitive complexity.

Abstract

As a cultural product, Maluku folktales emerge from traditions, origins, and customary rituals that contain moral messages, harmony, tolerance, and life wisdom. In the context of education, it is important to teach folktales as a means of cultural preservation and character building. The purpose of this study is to describe the value of maluku folklore, opportunities, and challenges in Indonesian Language learning. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. The primary data consist of interviews with teachers, students, and literature experts, while the secondary data include documents and folktale publications from The Maluku Language Office and the Department of Education and Culture. The findings reveal that Maluku folktales have significant potential as Indonesian language teaching materials that incorporate character education. From the twenty folktales analyzed, legends dominate because they contain concrete moral values and simple narrative structures that are easily understood by students. Their intrinsic elements present themes, protagonists embodying leadership and courage, and natural settings that foster ecological awareness. The moral messages emphasize honesty, togetherness, hard work, patriotism, and environmental care, which are aligned with the Pancasila Student Profile. Maluku folktales are therefore relevant for strengthening literacy, character education, and cultural preservation. Nevertheless, their utilization still faces challenges, particularly the limited availability of teaching resources and the lack of technology-based innovation. Therefore, integrating folktales into Indonesian language learning through digital media, P5 projects, and teacher training becomes a strategic step to support the Merdeka Curriculum while strengthening the cultural identity of the younger generation.

Abstract

This study examines the process of negotiation of Javanese culture in receiving guests based on dynamics of relationship between Javanese figures and non-Javanese figures (Campa) in Serat Jatiswara. Serat Jatiswara is an eighteenth-century suluk work that explores Islamic teachings in the form of a Macapat song. This manuscript represents the life of the Javanese rural people and their traditional mindset. Javanese characters in the text exhibit a responsive and adaptive attitude towards the presence of Jatiswara, who is treated as a great guest. This study focused on ideological negotiations through the pattern of relationship between Jatiswara and Javanese figures. This is text analysis research by using Gramsci negotiation theory to elaborate dynamics of relationship between Javanese figures and non-Javanese figures. The results showed that Jatiswara, a traveler from Campa who sought out his younger brother and spread Islam, was positioned superior to the Javanese figures he visited. The main findings include: (1) the representation of respect for guests, (2) the domination-subordination relationship through the glorification of Jatiswara, and (3) the accommodating attitude of the Javanese people. These findings confirm that Serat Jatiswara reflects the Javanese cultural ideology, namely harmonization, through the strategy of character representation and social relations as a negotiation of Javanese identity.
