Abstract

The study examines the use of smartphone applications as a tool in teaching Indonesian to university students in South Korea. This case study specifically examines the implementation of the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) approach in teaching Indonesian imperatives. This type of sentence does not contain complex affixes, and it is commonly used in everyday speech. The study involves 15 Korean learners, 11 females and four males, enrolled in the Elementary Indonesian class. They were freshmen, and none of them had ever resided in Indonesia. Data are collected through documentation from screen-recorded tutorial videos on using smartphone applications. There were 97 imperative sentences from 15 videos, which have an average duration of 1 minute and 12 seconds. The findings reveal that as many as 83.6% of the total number of imperatives in the videos are grammatically correct in terms of phonological, morphological, syntactical, and semantic aspects. The result on the pronunciation shows a simplification process in the pronunciation of Indonesian consonant clusters, sound changes, and neutralization. On the morphological level, there were some cases in which wrong forms of the verbs were used. The syntactical analysis indicates wrong phrase and sentence structure, in particular the second type of Indonesian passive sentence. The semantic level indicates that the incorrect word choice leads to the wrong meaning of the message.

Abstract

This study examines inter-dialectal homonyms in the Sasak language, particularly between the Meno-Mene and Ngeto-Ngete dialects, and their potential to trigger communication misunderstandings among speakers. Previous studies on Sasak dialects have predominantly focused on phonological and lexical variations, while semantic differences involving homonymous lexicons across dialects remain underexplored. Therefore, this research aims to identify and analyze homonymous vocabularies shared by the two dialects and explain their implications for inter-dialectal communication. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data consisted of oral utterances collected from native speakers of the Meno-Mene dialect in Sakra Selatan Village and the Ngeto-Ngete dialect in Kerongkong Village, East Lombok, as well as supporting written sources from relevant literature. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, while the data were analyzed using contextual semantic analysis. The findings reveal twenty homonymous lexicons that share identical phonological forms but convey different meanings in each dialect. These semantic discrepancies frequently lead to misunderstanding and ambiguity in daily communication among speakers from different dialectal backgrounds. The study demonstrates that identical lexical forms do not necessarily represent identical meanings across dialects, highlighting the importance of dialectal competence and contextual understanding in maintaining effective communication. This research contributes to the study of semantics and dialectology by providing insights into inter-dialectal semantic variation in the Sasak language and supporting regional language preservation efforts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore linguistic creativity in restaurant naming in Manado, Indonesia, and how restaurant names reflect local identity, global influences, and commercial branding strategies. The study was conducted using a descriptive mixed-methods design, which involved analyzing 230 restaurant names across five districts of Manado: Malalayang, Sario, Mapanget, Tuminting, and Wenang. Data were analyzed using descriptive frequency analysis and qualitative linguistic interpretation, aided by semi-structured interviews with 20 restaurant owners or managers. The results indicate that the linguistic elements used in restaurant names are Indonesian, local, foreign, and hybrid, and are used strategically. Indonesian elements offer familiarity and wide accessibility, local terms offer cultural authenticity, and foreign and hybrid forms create modern, global, and differentiated brand images. Linguistic creativity is manifested in the form of metaphor, abbreviation, phonological appeal, lexical innovation, and culturally marked terms like “Rumah Makan,” “Warung,” and “Kios.” This study contributes to the field of linguistic landscape and commercial naming studies by demonstrating that restaurant names are not merely business labels but semiotic resources used to negotiate local identity, global aspiration, and market positioning.

Abstract

The Ngayau tradition of the Dayak community is often associated with headhunting practices, resulting in a limited understanding of its broader cultural significance. Previous studies on the novel Ngayau have mainly focused on cultural forms and local wisdom, while the representation of Ngayau as a cultural system remains underexplored. This study aims to analyze the representation of the Ngayau tradition in R. Masri Sareb Putra and M.S. Gumelar’s novel Ngayau from a literary anthropology perspective. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using documentary techniques. Data were collected from the novel and analyzed through Miles and Huberman’s interactive model based on Koentjaraningrat’s cultural framework, consisting of ideas, activities, and cultural artifacts. The findings reveal that Ngayau is represented through three interconnected cultural dimensions. The dimension of ideas is reflected in the perspectives of Macatn Gaikng, Lansau, and Kek Longa. The dimension of activities includes reconnaissance, attack planning, troop preparation, circulation of the red bowl, the implementation of Ngayau, and the establishment of Betang and Gawai celebrations. The dimension of cultural artifacts is represented through various traditional objects and cultural products. These findings demonstrate that the novel constructs Ngayau as a comprehensive cultural system encompassing ideology, social practices, and material culture.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of the life experiences of individuals with visual sensory disabilities in religious poetry through Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework. The research aims to identify (1) denotative meanings, (2) connotative meanings, and (3) myths embedded in the poems. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a narrative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation at the Pendowo Social Service Center for Visual Sensory Disabilities (PPSDSN) in Kudus Regency. The data consist of words, symbols, and expressions found in religious poems written by individuals with visual sensory disabilities. Data analysis was conducted using heuristic and hermeneutic techniques. The findings reveal that denotative meanings reflect everyday experiences, emotional relationships, and expressions of gratitude. Connotative meanings uncover deeper symbolic interpretations related to faith, resilience, hope, and spiritual dependence. Meanwhile, the myths identified represent broader socio-cultural ideologies, including divine love as a source of strength, the acceptance of limitations, and spirituality as a means of overcoming loneliness and social marginalization. The novelty of this study lies in applying Barthes’ semiotic analysis to disability literature, particularly religious poetry, which remains underexplored. This research contributes to expanding literary studies on disability by highlighting poetry as a medium of spiritual expression and social representation.

Abstract

Gamification in folklore enhances understanding in the context of culture and moral values as a strengthening of cultural heritage identity. Gamification is an approach that is integrated through game elements. This research aims to increase interest in learning folklore that is considered rigid and boring with a different experience that is more interactive. This research uses the 4 D thiagarajan method in designing a game titled adventure trail archipelago. Gamification combines elements of ponts, badges and avatars as motivation. This research includes test preparation, media selection, and format for effective learning. The results of this study showed that gamification can increase students' interest, motivation, and understanding of folklore material to make it more soothing. The implications of this research are related to the integration of gamification in learning as a strengthening of identity through cultural heritage.

Abstract

Japanese interjections (kandoushi) play an important role in expressing emotions, responses, and social relationships. While previous studies have examined kandoushi from grammatical, pragmatic, and semantic perspectives, little attention has been given to how gender-preferential language is represented through interjections in fictional discourse. This study investigates the use of Japanese interjections by female (ojousama) and male (oujisama) characters in the shoujo manga Akuyakureijoutte koto. Employing a descriptive qualitative method supported by simple quantitative analysis, the study analyzes 346 interjection utterances collected from Volumes 1–3 using the yakuwarigo framework. The findings reveal that all three categories of Japanese interjections—kandoushi (emotive), outoushi (response), and yobikakeshi (vocative)—are used by both genders; however, significant differences emerge in their frequency, lexical preferences, and contextual meanings. Female characters employ a wider variety of emotive interjections and express emotional nuances such as enthusiasm, satisfaction, and affectionate playfulness more frequently, whereas male characters predominantly use interjections associated with responses, calls, and situational awareness. These findings demonstrate that interjections function not only as emotional expressions but also as linguistic markers that construct gendered character identities within the yakuwarigo system in contemporary Japanese manga.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to create a jarik cloth with a visual metaphor of Guyub Rukun batik motifs used by the regional head of Margomulyo village as a fashion identity. The visual metaphor of the Guyub Rukun batik motif reflects Samin's cultural values and noble teachings. This research contributes to the realization of Guyub Rukun jarik cloth as a medium for preserving and strengthening the noble teachings of Samin Margomulyo Bojonegoro in the context of sustainable tradition, culture, and the times. The creation of the jarik was inspired by the value of Surosentiko's Samin noble teachings. The village head is a leadership figure symbolizing harmony and protection of the Margomulyo village community. The Margomulyo village leader has a personal style and spiritual belief in applying the noble teachings of Samin in his leadership to achieve peace, tranquility, togetherness, and prosperity in the community’s social life. The village leader is responsible for preserving the Samin Margomulyo cultural tradition. This research design uses practice-based research, visual metaphor, and vehicle transfer (adaptation). The stages of this research began with observation, data collection, data analysis, and presentation of the analysis results. The results of the analysis were used to conceptualize the design of batik motifs and continued the process of embodiment of the jarik cloth. The result of the design is a prototype of Guyub Rukun jarik as a socio-cultural identity and its main function as the clothing of the Margomulyo village leaders.

Abstract

This study identifies and analyses the symbolic meanings of the ritual paraphernalia used in Jako Se Ruko, a marriage tradition of the Tidore community. Drawing on Ogden and Richards’ semiotic triangle framework of the nature of meaning, this study employs a descriptive, qualitative method with a semantic approach. Data collection was conducted through field observations, utilising semi-structured interviews, audio-visual recordings, and comprehensive documentation. The research was carried out across four sub-districts in the Tidore Islands: South Tidore (specifically in Tongowai and Gurabati villages), North Tidore (Mareku village), Central Tidore (Seli and Soa Sio villages), and East Tidore (Dowora village). The findings reveal that the Jako Se Ruko ritual in Tidore wedding traditions serves as a ceremonial warding-off-evil bath (mandi tolak bala), aimed at purifying both the bride and groom prior to the Islamic marriage solemnization (akad nikah). Furthermore, the interpretations of the ritual paraphernalia predominantly lean toward associative meanings, wherein each object symbolises or is associated with distinct cultural values. In this context, these associative meanings primarily correlate with spiritual endeavours, signifying the prospective couple's physical purification and inner tranquillity. Ultimately, while all linguistic symbols within the ritual possess a referent, they lack a direct referential meaning.

Abstract

This study examines the tacit aesthetics of Cirebon's Batik Tulis Merawit and its relevance to Geographical Indication certification. The main focus of the study is to understand how bodily experience, visual intuition, and implicit knowledge of the artisans shape the visual character of batik that is distinctive, authentic, and rooted in local traditions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a hermeneutic phenomenology method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation of the batik practices of Cirebon's Batik Tulis Merawit artisans. Analysis was conducted interpretively to read the relationship between the body, materials, techniques, experiences, and aesthetic meaning. The results show that the aesthetics of Batik Tulis Merawit are not only determined by motifs, colors, or visual forms, but also by the artisans' embodied experiences in processing canting, wax, cloth, hand pressure, line rhythm, ornament density, and color composition. This aesthetic knowledge is tacit because it is passed down through repeated practice, observation, community correction, motor memory, and sensitivity that is difficult to formalize in technical instructions. The findings also indicate that Geographical Indication certification still tends to emphasize aspects of origin, materials, techniques, and the final form of the product, thus not fully accommodating the aesthetic experience of artisans. This study concludes that tacit aesthetics need to be recognized as an important basis for protecting, documenting, and strengthening the quality of Cirebon Batik Tulis Merawit. The practical implication is the need to reformulate Geographical Indication documents to include embodied knowledge, the authority of artisan communities, and local aesthetic standards.
