Abstract

Love is a universal theme that functions not only as a subject of psychological inquiry but also as a central theme in literary works. This study analyzes the representation of love in Al-Nabiyy by Kahlil Gibran using Robert J. Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love, which consists of three components: passion, intimacy, and commitment. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method within a literary psychology approach. Data were collected from narrative quotations in the 2022 English edition of The Prophet, referred to throughout this study as Al-Nabiyy, and then classified and analyzed according to the three components of love. The findings show that passion is portrayed as an intense emotional and spiritual force that exists without possessiveness. Intimacy appears through empathy, emotional closeness, and openness, particularly in Al-Musthafa’s teachings to the people of Orphalese. Commitment is reflected in the teachings of love that emphasize togetherness without eliminating individuality. Among the nine quotations analyzed, commitment emerges as the most dominant component. This study concludes that love in Al-Nabiyy is transcendental, functioning not only as a human emotion but also as a spiritual path toward harmony and self-purification. The novelty of this research lies in integrating Sternberg’s framework with Sufi concepts such as uns (spiritual intimacy) and fana (self-surrender), providing a cross-cultural perspective on love. The findings contribute to literary psychology by bridging modern psychological theory with spiritual discourse.

Abstract

This article aims to delve into understanding women’s representation in the film, especially regarding the issues of gender equality and women’s empowerment in a male-dominated, capitalistic industry. Women as commodities is an issue that is often found in films, and Black Widow (2021) is one of the films that brings this issue to light. In Black Widow (2021), the commodification of women is masked as empowerment. While the film portrays strong female characters, their empowerment is destabilized by the Red Room, an institution that commodifies women and transforms their bodies into instruments of violence through mind control, forced sterilization, and militarized training. The object of this study is Black Widow (2021), with a focus on the Red Room as a site of gendered oppression. The objective is to analyze how the film represents women as both empowered and exploited. This research uses qualitative feminist film analysis to understand how the film represents women’s empowerment narrative, particularly in superhero characters. This study utilizes Luce Irigaray’s “Women on the Market” as the theoretical framework to examine how female bodies are controlled, weaponized, and stripped of agency. Through the findings and analyses, it is apparent that Black Widow (2021) critiques violence against women but still supports patriarchal control over femininity.

Abstract

This study investigates Chinese-English code-mixing in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), focusing specifically on insertion as theorized by Muysken. It examines how insertional code-mixing in scripted multilingual dialogue functions as a narrative strategy to convey identity, emotion, and cultural hybridity in diasporic contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were drawn from manually transcribed utterances in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Analysis applied Muysken’s typology alongside Halliday’s sociopragmatics framework to interpret the pragmatic and social factors underlying the insertions. A total of 29 insertions were identified and categorized into phrasal or clause insertions (48.28%), discourse features (41.38%), and lexical items (10.34%). Phrasal and clause insertions most frequently occurred in emotionally intense scenes, expressing affect, authority, or familial conflict. Discourse features such as interjections served to convey emotion and establish shared cultural understanding, while lexical functioned as cultural markers rooted in tradition. The findings demonstrate that insertional code-mixing is a deliberate narrative tool that enhances character depth, cultural resonance, and cinematic authenticity. This study contributes to a broader understanding of how multilingual media can represent bilingual subjectivity, challenge monolingual norms, and reflect complex sociocultural identities. By linking linguistic analysis with filmic representation, the research highlights the significance of studying multilingual cinema as a site where language, identity, and emotion intersect in diasporic storytelling.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of kiai (Village cleric) as key actors in conflict mediation through cultural and spiritual approaches in Madura. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, the research collected data through interviews and participatory observation with kiai, and parties directly engaged in conflict. To analyze the findings, the study applies Johan Galtung’s Conflict Transformation theory, with particular emphasis on peacebuilding, reconciliation, and cultural sensitivity as the main analytical framework. The results indicate that kiai hold a highly influential social position within the structure of local power, often surpassing the authority of formal state institutions in certain social contexts. They serve as respected and trusted mediators, not only due to their profound spirituality but also because of their historical roles in Madurese social structures. The communication strategies employed by kiai are symbolic, subtle, and grounded in religious values, enabling them to avoid direct confrontation and to foster spaces for peaceful dialogue. Moreover, their moral and spiritual legitimacy provides an effective form of social capital to prevent the escalation of violence and facilitate post-conflict reconciliation processes. Kiai can also build trust between disputing parties by prioritizing Islamic values and local wisdom. Based on these findings, the study recommends integrating cultural and spiritual approaches into conflict-resolution policies, particularly in regions with strong socio-religious structures, such as Madura.

Abstract

Bridging the gap between digital-centric theories and tangible cultural artifacts, this study applies the principles of User Experience (UX) Writing to a non-digital object: a menu from a local restaurant in Sumbawa, Indonesia. The research investigates how its textual elements—from microcopy to information architecture—address the communicative needs of a global tourist audience. Employing a qualitative textual analysis, the study systematically evaluates the menu against core UX tenets such as clarity, voice, and usability. The findings reveal a stark paradox: the menu demonstrates high functional clarity in its information architecture but significantly underutilizes persuasive strategies, rendering it effective as an informational guide but less persuasive as a marketing tool. However, the most compelling finding is how a series of unintentional linguistic errors generates a distinctive ‘vernacular-authentic’ tone. This study argues that these very flaws, typically viewed as unprofessional, function as markers of non-corporate authenticity that may appeal strongly to tourists seeking genuine local experiences. Consequently, this research provides two significant contributions. First, it demonstrates the robust applicability of UX Writing as an analytical framework for non-digital, everyday texts, thereby expanding the discipline's conventional boundaries. Second, it offers a novel perspective on authenticity in tourism discourse, proposing that textual 'imperfection' can paradoxically function as a powerful and strategic communicative asset, fostering a sense of genuine connection. Theoretically, this expands UX Writing by validating its applicability to physical cultural artifacts, bridging the gap between digital design principles and traditional tourism discourse.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the contexts and the meaning of forms of self-destruction as a representation This research is a social constructivist study of literature to explore the correlation between the context and meaning of actions against female stereotypes. This research focuses on the context of resistance to stereotypes of women by society, especially related to women’s bodies, such as: women’s body ownership is belongs to their husbands or lovers. These are manifested in acts of self-destruction related to women's bodies. In more detail, this research analyzes forms of self-destruction through text and text’s descriptions. The approach in this research is a qualitative research with literary analysis. The library and deep reading method, utilizing note-taking techniques, was employed to identify correlations between the contexts and the meaning of self-destruction as a manifestation of resistance to stereotypes. The problem is analyzed based on Mead’s Symbolic Interactionism theory, supported by Kenney’s theory of conflict and Thomas and Killman’s Conflict Management strategy theory. The research result shows that self-destruction conducted by female characters is not an act of giving up or desperation toward oppression, but instead a coping mechanism to manifest their body ownership. This form of self-destruction is contextually addressed through both actual meaning and metaphor, particularly in relation to self-actualization. It is somehow achieved since these women characters have no power to openly resist the patriarchal oppression related to their body ownership.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of nonverbal registers in the communication practices of fishermen in the Demak coastal community. The research was conducted to identify, classify, and interpret the forms, meanings, and context of forming the nonverbal registers used in the fishermen’s daily interactions. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Methodological and source triangulation were employed to ensure the validity of findings. Drawing on sociolinguistic theory, particularly Halliday’s register framework, the analysis reveals that fishermen in the Demak coastal community employ a structured system of nonverbal communication that can be grouped into three main categories: registers related to fish species, fishing conditions, and fishing results. These registers not only help overcome barriers to verbal communication, such as engine noise, wind, and distance at sea, but also serve broader sociocultural purposes. Specifically, they facilitate efficient communication, strengthen collective identity, and reinforce social hierarchies between juragan (boat owners) and pandega (crew members). The findings underscore that nonverbal registers operate as a distinctive semiotic system within the fishermen community, reflecting adaptation to the work environment while simultaneously embodying local cultural values. This study contributes to documenting linguistic variation in occupational settings and highlights the importance of preserving traditional communicative practices in coastal communities.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragma-stylistic features of Indonesian legislative campaign billboards during the 2024 general election, focusing on how promises are articulated as commissive speech acts through figurative language, visual design, and cultural symbolism. Campaign billboards, as multimodal texts, compress political identities into succinct slogans and imagery that aim to persuade, legitimize, and establish trust with voters. The research interprets campaign promises not merely as linguistic forms but as context-sensitive communicative events embedded in electoral rituals. A qualitative method was employed by Mey’s theory of pragmemes by analyzing 57 billboards collected along major roads in late 2023 and early 2024. Data were categorized according to the framework of figurative language, including personification, symbolism, overstatement, metaphor, synecdoche, and allegory. The analysis demonstrates that figurative devices intensify the persuasive force of commissive acts by embedding them in cultural narratives, national symbols, and ideological discourses. The findings reveal that billboard discourse operates across linguistic, visual, and ideological dimensions, aligning with the semiotics of myth and the view of discourse as an ideology-laden practice. Figurative language and symbolic resources not only ornament campaign texts but also legitimize candidates, mobilize solidarity, and reinforce cultural values. The findings contribute to Indonesian political communication by demonstrating how campaign messages strategically combine linguistic and semiotic resources rooted in national culture, providing an integrated model for analyzing how political persuasion is culturally framed in Indonesian elections.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of storytelling-based narrative writing instruction on elementary students’ literacy performance and character development. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pretest–posttest control groups, the research involved 60 fifth-grade students from Central Java, Indonesia, who were divided equally into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a narrative writing test and a character development questionnaire covering responsibility, honesty, cooperation, and cultural appreciation. Statistical analysis using independent-samples t-tests revealed that students in the storytelling group significantly outperformed their peers in the control group, with large gains in narrative writing scores (t(58) = 7.38, p < .001, Cohen’s d = 1.90). Moreover, storytelling enhanced students’ character development, shifting their ratings from “fair” to “good” across all measured dimensions, with the strongest improvement in cultural appreciation. The findings conclude that storytelling is an effective pedagogical strategy to simultaneously improve narrative writing skills and foster positive character values in elementary education. The implications suggest that teachers should integrate storytelling, particularly with culturally relevant folktales, to achieve dual objectives of literacy and character formation. Policymakers and curriculum developers are encouraged to adopt storytelling as a contextually grounded approach to holistic education The novelty of this study lies in its integrated examination of storytelling-based narrative writing as a dual pedagogical approach that simultaneously promotes writing proficiency and character development within a culturally grounded elementary education context.

Abstract

This study examines the basilectal variation and its functions among Indonesian K-pop fans, specifically NCTZen (NCT Fans), on social media X (formerly Twitter). Drawing on the post-creole continuum concept popularized by Bickerton, which conceptualizes basilect as the least prestigious linguistic variety compared to acrolect and mesolect. The variety of languages in this community has grown through digital interactions, reflecting the dynamics of language and users' creativity. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected from tweets using the hashtag #NEOCITY_THE_MOMENTUM_IN_JAKARTA during NCT 127's concert in Jakarta, Indonesia. Even though the data are drawn from a single fandom, this community reflects a characteristic of Indonesian K-pop fans: intensive online interaction, strong emotional expression, and engagement with transnational culture. The data were filtered to include non-formal linguistic expressions categorized as basilectal, such as colloquial pronouns, non-standard lexicon, phonological simplifications, code-mixing, and hybrid language forms. The findings indicate that basilectal variation is not merely a deviation from standard Indonesian but rather a deliberate linguistic practice that fulfills multiple functions, such as expressing strong affective responses, fostering solidarity, and negotiating transnational fandom belonging. This study contributes to digital sociolinguistics by showing that basilectal forms carry significant symbolic value within online fandom culture. These practices not only challenge the prestige hierarchy of standard language but also highlight the role of creativity, identity expression, and cultural hybridity in digital interactions.
