Abstract

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains one of the most contested issues in international diplomacy, with discourse surrounding the conflict functioning as a crucial arena in which geopolitical power relations are constructed, negotiated, and contested. This study investigates how Global North countries, Muslim-majority states, and Global South countries articulate their ideological positions and linguistic representations of the conflict through speeches delivered at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 2025. Unlike the United Nations Security Council, whose structure privileges major powers through veto authority, the UNGA allows broader participation from both dominant and marginalized states, thereby making it an important arena for examining competing geopolitical narratives. The urgency of this investigation is further intensified by growing international polarization following the escalation of violence in Gaza and the increasing use of genocide accusations within diplomatic discourse. Employing Fairclough's three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this study aims to reveal the relationship between micro-level grammatical choices and macro-level geopolitical orientations. The findings reveal systematic disparities among the state groups analyzed. The United States tends to background Israeli military actions while foregrounding Hamas, using the events of October 7, 2023, as the principal framework for its security-oriented interpretation. In contrast, Pakistan, South Africa, and Brazil explicitly use the term “genocide,” while Indonesia foregrounds humanitarian suffering without explicitly employing the term. Pakistan's discourse incorporates personalized narratives of victimization, whereas South Africa adopts a predominantly legal-institutional framing grounded in international law. The United Kingdom, meanwhile, manifests hegemonic positioning through a discourse of shared responsibility that enables simultaneous condemnation of humanitarian violations and preservation of strategic alliances. Consequently, this study demonstrates that contestation over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not merely a disagreement over political events, but also a broader struggle for dominance over international discourse itself. The relationship between 142 countries supporting genocide-related accusations and a single veto-holding power further illustrates the widening gap between international normative consensus and the realities of geopolitical power during a period of hegemonic crisis. Methodologically, this research demonstrates how systematic linguistic analysis can ground ideological interpretation in observable grammatical patterns, while theoretically positioning Palestinian-Israeli discourse as a metonym for wider contestation over whether international order should be governed by legal universalism, moral-religious principles, or security pragmatism aligned with hegemonic interests.

Abstract

The study aims to demonstrate the vulnerability of Eritrean migrants in the Arabic novel Ragwah Saudā` (2018) by Eritrean writer Ḥajjī Jābir. It analyzes this phenomenon using Postcolonial Theory in relation to migration, considering that migration is a long-term consequence of European colonialism and that the new Eritrean authorities behave in a colonial manner. To operationalize this framework, the study applies the concept of vulnerability to examine the conditions Eritrean migrants face. This research employs an interpretive method, a technique of giving meaning to data that have been classified interpretively in a postcolonial perspective. The results indicate that the primary cause of Eritreans' departure from their homeland was compulsory military service imposed by the authoritarian government. Thus, Eritreans experienced vulnerability from the outset, a condition that can be described as a form of biopolitics. Eritrean migrants are also narrated as experiencing vulnerability throughout their migration journey, particularly in several locations in Ethiopia and in their destination country, Israel. This vulnerability is closely related to religious identity and otherness. Although migrants have attempted to create new narratives about themselves, they have not been able to escape the vulnerability they experience.

Abstract

Media discourse plays an important role in constructing and disseminating ideological meanings, particularly in political reporting, where language is used to represent social actors and political events from specific perspectives. This study investigates the ideological stance underlying news reports on the United States government's and politicians' reactions to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, as reported in The Guardian Online Newspaper. The study employs Martin and White's (2005) Appraisal Theory, focusing on the Attitude subsystem, in conjunction with Fairclough's (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The data consist of three news reports published by The Guardian on January 3 and 4, 2026, totaling 1,567 words. The analysis examines how evaluative language is utilized to construct particular representations of social actors and political actions. The findings reveal that The Guardian predominantly employs negative evaluative polarity and frequently expresses attitudes through indirect invocation, in which evaluative meanings are implied and subsequently reinforced through quoted statements. The United States government and politicians are primarily positioned as the appraisers and active social actors, whereas Nicolás Maduro is predominantly represented as the appraised social actor. The study further demonstrates that the news reports construct the capture of Maduro as a protective and legitimate action associated with concerns over security and anti-drug enforcement. Through these evaluative patterns, the newspaper reflects and reproduces particular ideological perspectives regarding the political event. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how media discourse utilizes evaluative language to shape ideological representations in contemporary political reporting.

Abstract

In the heritage tourism sector, English is regularly recontextualized into a localized form, usually used in practice rather than as a marker of formal fluency. Using Jaworski’s (2010) Tourism Discourse and Kachru’s (1990) World Englishes, this research analyzes how daily English expressions are positioned across several tourism professions and how local workers attach pragmatic, economic, and symbolic meanings to the language. This research is based on qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews and observations with eight participants representing four main tourism professions— ticket sellers, tour guides, food vendors, and souvenir shop sellers—in Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan, Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. The findings show that English functions as a pragmatic communicative tool, a hospitality strategy, and a framework for local adaptation. Participants primarily used functional and repetitive expressions for greetings, transactions, and the development of tourism impacts, while maintaining a highly instrumental perception of the language. Ultimately, this research indicates a critical need for context-based English-language training for local tourism workers, prioritizing practical interaction routines over formal grammar proficiency.

Abstract

This article reports on a small-scale qualitative study of how undergraduate translation students work with machine translation (MT) output in a post-editing task. The project grew out of concern that translation classes often still rely on traditional, teacher-centered methods and do not always integrate current AI- and MT-based tools. The study is framed by models of translation and post-editing competence, with a particular focus on how students spot, classify, and correct errors. Data were collected from five students using a short survey, a post-editing task based on an MT version of a general English text used in class, and a structured written interview consisting of 18 questions. The analysis adopts a content-analytic approach and is organized around five types of translation problems, or rich points: lexical problems (including specialized and culture-bound items), morphosyntactic issues (such as sentence complexity and voice), textual problems (coherence and tone), extralinguistic knowledge (cultural and domain references), and intentionality/reader adaptation. Sixteen rich points were pre-identified in the source text and examined through the students' post-edited Indonesian outputs and their own explanations of the choices they made. The findings shed light on how students actually use MT in classroom tasks, which problems they notice and which they tend to overlook, as well as how they view MT and AI tools, and the future of translation work. Based on these findings, the study argues for a curriculum design that uses MT as a starting point for training in error handling, critical judgment, and other core competencies in human translation, rather than treating MT as a shortcut for translation.

Abstract

The linguistics of smaller communities goes unnoticed in most academic conversations; so does the Bima language, spoken in Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The Bima language belongs to the Central Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian language family and is spoken by approximately one million people in the eastern part of Sumbawa Island. The Bima language has survived through oral tradition and everyday use. However, formal documentation of its grammar remains severely lacking. The Tarlawi sub-dialect of Bima, which is distinct and has not been the focus of study, reflects the above statement, for it can also be considered a unique dialect. The motivation for this study was practical. Upon reviewing the existing literature on regional languages in eastern Indonesia, it was found that even something as basic as Bima grammar, particularly the behavior of verbs, has not been described. This research pays special attention to verbs, as they are more than mere action words; they organize the relationships among various elements in a sentence and often determine whether a sentence is complete. No study on complementation verbs in the predicate of the Tarlawi sub-dialect has been conducted previously. Thus, this study was set out to fill that gap. The researchers collected data through direct fieldwork with native speakers of the Tarlawi subdialect, using a range of naturally occurring language: isolated words, phrases, clauses, full sentences, and connected discourse. Instead of relying on intuition or elicitation alone, the analysis employed deletion and insertion tests. It is a standard yet reliable method for determining if the relevant verb element is obligatory or can be omitted in its grammatical structure. The findings suggest a verbal system that is organized yet adaptable. All verb types in Bima seem to come from a single root verb. This type of verb is derived into intensive verbs, complex transitive verbs, action verbs, process verbs, state verbs, and stative verbs. The relationship to complement verbs varies considerably among the categories – some require a complement verb to form a grammatical sentence, and others can still work without one. In addition to showing the internal grammar of Bima, the research results also constitute the first documentation of complement-verb constructions in the Tarlawi sub-dialect. This contribution hopefully opens the door to further work on this topic and other under-described varieties of Indonesian regional languages.

Abstract

A recent popular topic of interest in the study of ChatGPT as an AI translation technology is the quality of translations generated by ChatGPT and the factors influencing this AI to meet users’ expectations. However, translation studies studies focusing on role-based prompting for translation are still rarely under investigation, particularly those involving advertising materials such as airline slogans. This study explores a novel prompting strategy for ChatGPT by assigning role-based prompting utilizing persona pattern to translate English airline slogans into Indonesian. Airline slogans were purposely chosen due to their typical memorability, differentiation, and emotional connection to retain global customers in the aspects of safety, comfort, or unique services. It aims to identify the typology of language style and translation techniques emerged from the translations generated by ChatGPT. These two aspects are significant to study due to slogans’ typical syntax structures and linguistic choices that build them up and the need to improve understanding of AI’s translation behavior when translating slogans. Under the design of qualitative research, four stages of the prompt design stage; ChatGPT’s translation generation stage; data coding stage; and analysis on language style and translation technique stage were conducted by the researchers. First, ChatGPT 4.0 was commanded to translate 30 data of English international airline slogans collected from various online information sources, including the airlines’ official websites, into Indonesian using the “skilled translator” prompt (Prompt 1) and “translation professor” prompt (Prompt 2), which basically represents two expert professions from industry context and academic context. Their Indonesian translations generated from ChatGPT 4.0 were then coded and examined using translation comparative methods. To identify the types of language style and translation techniques appearing from the perspective of each role, Grey’s (2008, in Munder, 2024) theory of language style types, Shi’s (2014) linguistic components of slogans, and Li’s (2025) five techniques of translating slogans were applied. The findings reveal that when commanded with Prompt 1 and 2, ChatGPT generates outputs reflecting the viewpoint of each role. Prompt 1 produces shorter, catchier phrases and exhibits some colloquial lexical choices suiting advertising needs although they tend to use more literal translation techniques. Prompt 2 leans towards semantic fidelity using slightly longer words and more alliterative touch in a grandiose manner to likely achieve poetic appealing. Unexpectedly, instead of employing creative translation techniques to render the source texts, under both prompts, ChatGPT applies literal translation and free translation as its predominant techniques. This study contributes theoretically to providing more empirical studies on role-based prompting for translation and optimizing ChatGPT prompt training to improve ChatGPT’s creativity in translating advertising materials. Practically, it assists ChatGPT’s everyday users to efficiently generate real-time outputs nearly meeting their expectation. Nevertheless, reassuring the ChatGPT’s outputs in line with the airlines’ value and identity behind the slogans still needs to be done.

Abstract

This study investigates the types and frequency of flouting maxims in WhatsApp group communication and examines their pedagogical implications for language teaching. Employing a qualitative discourse analysis approach, the study analyzed selected utterances produced by 27 members of a WhatsApp group over a six-month period. The data were categorized using Grice’s Cooperative Principle, particularly the maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relevance, and Manner. In addition to identifying instances of maxim flouting, the study also explored the communicative purposes behind such linguistic behavior and how participants interpreted implied meanings within their interactions. The findings show that all four types of maxim flouting occurred in the interaction. Flouting the Maxim of Quantity appeared most frequently, accounting for 45% of the data, followed by flouting the Maxim of Manner at 35%, flouting the Maxim of Relevance at 15%, and flouting the Maxim of Quality at 5%. These results indicate that participants often used excessive information, indirectness, ambiguity, exaggeration, and topic shifts to generate implicatures, express humor, maintain solidarity, and negotiate interpersonal relationships in digital communication. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that such pragmatic strategies are influenced by contextual factors such as group familiarity, shared knowledge, and the informal nature of online communication platforms. The study also highlights that participants rely heavily on implicit cues, emojis, and shared cultural references to convey meanings that go beyond literal interpretations, demonstrating the dynamic nature of digital discourse. Additionally, the findings suggest that the asynchronous nature of WhatsApp communication allows users more flexibility in crafting responses, which may contribute to the frequent occurrence of maxim flouting as a deliberate communicative choice. The study concludes that flouting maxims in WhatsApp group chats should not merely be viewed as communication failure, but as a pragmatic strategy shaped by context and social interaction. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that authentic digital conversations can be used as instructional materials to develop learners’ pragmatic awareness, discourse competence, and context-sensitive communication skills. Incorporating real-life examples of digital discourse into classroom activities may help learners better understand implied meanings, interpret indirect language, and respond appropriately in various communicative situations, thereby enhancing their overall communicative competence in both online and offline contexts. Furthermore, integrating such materials into language instruction can encourage learners to critically analyze communication patterns, recognize pragmatic nuances, and apply these insights in their own interactions, ultimately fostering more effective and meaningful communication skills in diverse social settings.
