Abstract

Examining disaster reports in Indonesia is critical, as it provides essential insights into people perceptions and reactions to the frequent natural disasters. Disaster reports were examined through its communicative element including attitude to see the viewpoints of the newspaper towards disaster reports. The objectives of this research are to categorize attitudes, explain how attitudes are realized, and explain why attitudes are realized in disaster reporting in Indonesian newspaper, especially The Jakarta Post (TJP). Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as the analytical framework, a qualitative method was employed. The data is analyzed using Martin and White's theory of appraisal (2005). A corpus of 14 TJP newspaper articles on Indonesian natural disasters published in 2021 is broken down into clauses denoting attitude. The results of the study indicate: 1) there are three different attitude types, with appreciation being the most prevalent and having a predominately negative polarity, 2) the attitude realization reveals that TJP is the most dominant appraiser, followed by the authorities, and 3) the realization is attributed to two themes namely self-claimed recognition and neglect of self-failure, and one tone multiple perspectives which means negative attitudes dominantly voiced by different appraisers. The themes reveal the newspaper's concealed ideology points to a narrative of critique and disillusionment, which may shape the readers' understanding of the disasters and the associated societal responses.

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

Stereotypes have often been associated with negative outcomes such as discrimination, prejudice, and bias. Nonetheless, this study investigates the potential for humour within stereotypical discourse in a sitcom. Through an analysis of humorous language used in sitcom, this research aims to uncover ways in which stereotypical utterances might bring about laughter as an outcome. Using the data from seven U.S. sitcom Will and Grace episodes throughout the eighth season, I generated the data from the show's transcript. I analysed how two characters, a white American woman and her maid, communicate with each other with a content analysis approach to categorize the different themes of humour presented in the seven chosen episodes. To determine of what is considered to be humorous utterances, I used the audience's laughter as the marker (Messerli 2016). The research demonstrated that the use of stereotypical humor involves exploiting the preconceived notions about another party's country of origin, physical appearance, and cognitive capacity. Further, my findings showed that an individual with higher power often performed stereotypical humour towards that with less power, while Holmes et al. (2003) saw humour as a linguistic technique for people who lacked power to establish a favourable image of themselves by challenging authority. Ultimately, this research promises to advance our understanding of the complex relationship between humour, stereotyping, and societal attitudes.

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

The flexibility of utterance structure can be influenced by semantic factors. At this level, structures can vary in terms of the positions of the constituents, namely subject, predicate, or object. To see how far semantics plays a role in the flexibility of structures, this research aims to investigate how the semantic reversibility of agent-target influences the structure of the resulting BISINDO Yogyakarta signs. The data source for this research was video-recorded signs that had been transcribed into utterances. The data collection instrument used was a collection of pictures that was used to stimulate deaf individuals to produce signed utterances. The results showed that there were differences in the resulting structure. (1) Non-reversible utterance structures tended to produce single-clauses with various patterns dominated by SPO and SOP structures. This diversity was predominantly influenced by the classification of targets, appropriate hand movements, and the omission of the agents. Meanwhile, reversible stimuli tended to produce two structures, namely single-clauses dominated by SPO and multi-clauses dominated by SPO P. The multi-clause structure was the structure that dominated reversible utterances. The complexity of the structure of this reversible content was characterized by an agent-target indexical description, and the involvement of actions/expressions of action targets. This proved the notion that the indexical description found in almost all multi-clause structures was the preference of deaf individuals in avoiding potential ambiguity between agent-target. Just like spoken languages universally, sign languages such as BISINDO in the Yogyakarta region and BISINDO in the Jakarta region also shared linguistic features.

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

The study investigates English as a second/foreign language (L2) learners' integrative motivation and its influence on their L2 speaking achievement. It employed a survey method and used speaking test scores to measure L2 speaking achievement. 188 Indonesian L2 learners from non-English departments participated in this study. This study was conducted to fill the gap in the motivation literature which underrecruited L2 learners from non-English departments and lacked quantitative studies involving a sufficient number of such participants in the Indonesian context. Using descriptive statistics on SPSS, the study found that learners generally reported a high level of integrative motivation. Their motivation to make friends with native English speakers was slightly higher than their motivation to learn about native speakers' cultures and to be involved in native speakers' communities. Through bivariate linear regression, the study found that learners' integrative motivation did not influence their L2 speaking achievement. These findings suggested despite integrative motivation being established in L2 literature, it did not always translate into motivated behaviours. This also calls for a re-examination of some pedagogical practices orienting towards native speakers and their cultures.

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
