Abstract

In the life circle, humans always produce, receive, and search for the meaning of signs. The meanings have ultimate value concerning Islamic worldview which then determines human salvation. Therefore, these issues are very important to research. The researchers worked in a deductive-inductive approach: a quasi-qualitative method characterized by the use of theories to be reconstructed after critical dialogues aimed at revealing the meanings of the natural signs based on an Islamic worldview and proposing a model of the Islamic theory of sign. The subject of this research is the books of Risale-i Nur as the representation of the Islamic worldview. Further, the techniques of the data collection are (1) preparing the domain (2) constituting the taxonomy of the data; (3) note-taking in the text of the Risale-i Nur. Furthermore, the latent content analysis was employed. The researchers categorized qualitative textual data into clusters of similar entities, or conceptual categories, to identify consistent patterns and relationships between themes. Finally, the researchers concluded that the meanings of the natural signs in the Risale-i Nur are the manifestation of the perfection of God's Names. Moreover, the significant contribution of the Risale-i Nur to Islamic semiotics is revealed and proposed.

Abstract

Fictional movies captivated the audience in many ways through their stories and audio-visual. The stories of fictional movies often reflect what happens to our society, and we savor the purification of the hero's tragic flaw. One of which is power relations between males and females. This study explores women's empowerment in Oshin the movie (2013). The narrative is about a seven-year-old girl called Oshin, who is made to work as a maid by her father due to the family's poverty. At first, she is against her father's idea of being separated from her family. She struggles to become a maid until she is accused of stealing and runs away. By watching her mother's efforts as the household pillar, she finally realizes the importance of being an independent female. The movie shows power relations issues regarding filial duty and social stratification. Yet, with the help of Foucault's theory of The Subject and Power (1982), power resistance is a more eloquent outcome to discuss. Thus, this study proposes the stages of power resistance and how the protagonist declares her resilience through traditional gender roles. Moreover, this study uses an interpretative method by scrutinizing each scene that shows power resistance; the discussion reveals that Oshin participates in staging power resistance for women's economic empowerment, which subsequently contributes to her family's economic development. This study concludes that financial independence and women's empowerment are inextricably linked.

Abstract

Within thirteenth-century Javanese tradition in Southeast Asia, women are frequently marginalized. Women who had significant influence were often omitted from historical records, such as Ken Dedes. Her tale is exclusively documented in the book of Pararaton. Dedes is seen as a significant woman who bore the ruling dynasty in Java. Modern Indonesian literature depict Dedes in different ways, offering varied interpretations of her character. This study seeks to analyze the intersectional identity of Ken Dedes in the novel Tutur Dedes: Doa & Kutukan by Amalia Yunus (2022) because of the intricate nature of her identity. The data consist of narrative elements such as tale sequences, characters, settings, themes, and other literary devices sourced from data repositories relevant to the research issue. The data were collected using reading and note-taking methods. Additionally, it was qualitatively analyzed via the lens of Kimberle Crenshaw's (1989) intersectionality approach. The results indicate that Dedes is shaped by various intersecting identities: education for an educated identity, biological physique for beauty and sexuality, high social status for respectability and knowledge access, religion for personal integrity, gender for the role of a mother, and political position for influence and network power. Each component category interacts to shape, reinforce, and internalize Dedes' identity and self as an educated woman in the thirteenth century, who wields significant influence and can overcome the oppression she faces. This study emphasises the importance of viewing women's identities as a cohesive whole rather than in fragmented elements. Javanese women were well educated and engaged in many facets of society in the thirteenth century.

Abstract

The tradition of carrying setaman flowers in the nyekar rite success to be a part of local wisdom that has survived through various periods, but on the other hand, documents about it are still limited.  This study aims to describe the lexicons in kembang setaman in the nyekar rite from the Javanese perspective. Adopting qualitative  method with a focus on ethnographic approach, data is collected through interview and literature study and examined using semiotic and lexical-semantic analysis. The result show seven plants that make up the setaman, including (1) roses (mawar or mawi-arsa, a sincere intention to live up to noble values), (2) jasmine (melati or melat ing ati, the sincerity of the heart), (3) white chrysolite flower (kanthil or tansah kumanthil-kanthil, uninterrupted devotion), (4) ylang (kenanga or kenangen ing angga, always remembering the ancestral heritage), (5) tuberose (sedap malam or harum dhalu, always remembering the sacred teachings of the ancestors even in the dark of the night), (6) rose balsam (pacar air or pacar banyu, prosperity continues to flow), and (7) pandan leaves (liaison with the deceased). Kembang setaman functions as a symbol of gifts accompanied by prayers sent when visiting graves which are considered homes for people who have died, and contemporary Javanese society is still carrying out this tradition. This research expands the limited field of Anthropolinguistics studies, and on the other hand, can be used as cultural documentation that encourages the intention to better conserve the local wisdom over a long period.

Abstract

Motivation has been found to play a pivotal role for the success of foreign language learning. Students generally stay motivated if they appreciate the purposefulness of their learning process, so if they did not share the same expectations with their teachers of the process, these discrepancies might affect their motivation and disrupt their learning. This mixed-method research uses online questionnaires to examine four major topics, namely program, curriculum, teachers, and students, and employs comparative analysis to the views of the two respondent groups to investigate such discrepancies. The results show discrepancies exist among the respondents, especially in what the students expect to learn, the line of work that they desire to take, and the different factors that affect their motivation. These results signify the need to better align the students' and the teachers' expectations of foreign language learning in order to maintain the students' motivation and to improve the effectiveness of the learning process.

Abstract

This study seeks to explain how opposition is portrayed in Jemmy Piran's fiction works entitled Surat Dari Seorang Tawanan, Pertempuran Jarak Dekat, and Pertempuran Kedua and to describe how the characters exhibit consistent characterizations. This article adopts Julia Kristeva's intertextuality, the so-called ideologeme, and McHale's heterotopia zone. Piran's three short stories with their socio-historical themes are the main data sources. Data analysis is carried out by looking at the suprasegmental elements and synchronous relations between the short story and socio-historical readers outside the short story. The results demonstrate that, first, it seems that Piran's three fictions are interconnected, exploring socio-historical phenomena suggested by Kristeva's intertextual concept. The socio-historical elements depicted in the three short stories are closely connected to the struggle for East Timor, specifically the conflict between the Indonesian army and Fretilin during the annexation of East Timor from 1980 to 2002. This opposition between the Indonesian military and Fretilin during the annexation of East Timor from 1980 to 2002 is extended to the narratives of civil war. Secondly, intertextuality refers to the process of emphasizing space within the text structure through the utilization of characters and characterizations borrowed from one text to another. McHale has named it the Retour de Personage. In this case, the primary and peripheral characters exhibit a consistent naming pattern and stable characterizations.

Abstract

Suluk pedalangan is a form of Javanese literary work, a type of poetry sung by a dalang (puppeteer) in a wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance. Semiotically, Suluk functions to explain the characterization of scenes whether they are grand, tense, sad, or happy in accordance with the pathet (arrangement of notes) in karawitan (traditional Javanese gamelan music). This research aims to identify and understand the characteristics of suluk from a semiotic perspective. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The data source is Suluk Pedalangan which was collected by Padmosoekotjo (1978). The results of the research show that the suluk pedalangan texts use the Old Javanese language krama alus and krama madya. The results of the research show that the sulukan in wayang kulit performances has the characteristics of being one of the puppetry literature performed (sung) by puppeteers adapted to the pathet and time. When sung by the puppeteer, the sequence of sulukan is adjusted to the time, rhythm (pathet), and kempyung note sequence (beating two notes together with a distance of two notes). Semiotically, the meaning and function of sulukan in setting the atmosphere hold an important position, broadly serving to intensify, embellish, enhance, and shape the atmosphere in various scenes. Textually, sulukan basically refers to the scenes presented. However, if you do not know the meaning of the words, symbols and figures of speech used in sulukan, the aesthetic value and dramatic atmosphere of the scenes presented in wayang kulit performances will be less meaningful. Philosophically, the meaning of sulukan in relation to the sequence of kempyung notes and the time they are expressed symbolizes the journey of a human life, from birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.Keywords: Puppetry literature, semiotics, sulukan, wayang

Abstract

This study performs content analysis on an Android game titled Legend of the Phoenix. Legend of the Phoenix, commonly known as LoP, is an otome (girl) game released by Modo Game in 2020. Like most otome games, Legend of the Phoenix revolves around the journey of a young woman who is given a second chance at life after her first ends tragically. The player takes the role of this young woman and has to complete various missions and storylines in order to complete the game. This study aims to find messages about gender presented in the game by analyzing its visual and narrative content. It focuses on identifying female masculinity in the special recruitment group of Female General or Heroine. The game characters being analyzed are the four Generals in Legend of the Phoenix"”Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, and Qin Liangyu. They are examined in terms of role, abilities, and appearance and their relation to the concept of female masculinity introduced by Halberstam. The result shows that the Female General belongs to Femme Pretender type. It means that the characters of Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, and Qin Liangyu possess masculine traits (role and abilities) while also keeping their female appearance (physical and outfit).

Abstract

Learners of English as a second language (L2) whose first language (L1) is Indonesian tend to struggle to produce aspirated consonants. This study investigates whether the difficulties came from the interference of the L1 for the production of these sounds: [k], [b], [d], [g] in the final positions, and [p] and [t] in the stressed syllable. This study involved two cohorts of English department university students with different levels of fluency in L2 speech production. The L2 learners were asked to pronounce 25 words from a textbook previously used to teach them. The L2 learners were exposed to a British English-speaking speech model, which became a benchmark for the L2 learners' pronunciation by asking them to imitate the pronunciation. Annotation of data was conducted twice by a second annotator to ensure the objectivity of the scores given to the L2 learners which was analised using paired sample t-test. Findings suggest that the sounds with the lowest success rate of production were [p] in the stressed syllable, [k], and [g] in the final position. The production was unsuccessful because the L2 learners did not have phonological awareness of how the L2 consonant sounds were produced near-natively and were affected by their L1. The lack of awareness led to the failure to produce [p], [k], and [g] sounds because these sounds did not exist in their L1 and interference of the L1 was embed to the L2 speech production. The format analysis results using PRAAT indicate that there is an improvement in the participants' pronunciation after exposure to the native speaker's speech sound. The implication of this research is paramount for L2 learners and lecturers in highlighting the importance of targeted instruction and intervention to address the challenges in speech production. Contrasting the phonetic features of L1 and L2 sounds helped the learners to defer interference in their L2 speech production. This study encourages continuous assessment of L2 learners to ensure that they maintain the consistency of speech production to sound near-native.

Abstract

Gas stations are hazardous, highly flammable public places. Thus, signs containing prohibitions, warnings, information, and road directions are needed to prevent catastrophes. This study aims to identify the linguistic system of the signs and describe the representation of power through the signs. The research site is gas stations in Semarang. This study uses observation methods in data collection by documenting, sorting, and classifying data using a national language, region, foreign, or both based on the linguistic system. Spolsky and Cooper's (1991) taxonomy of signs is used to classify the data. The categories are then examined further to reveal the embedded power relations. The results show that the linguistic landscape at the gas stations uses a monolingual system, Indonesian. This system demonstrates the gas station authorities' concern about prioritizing the state language in public spaces. Suggestions embedded in the signs do not explicitly represent power relations. However, they represent power by removing the subjects and objects on these signs. Texts of prohibitions and warnings should be created by involving more people so that the texts on the gas station LL can be more user-friendly.
