Abstract

Journal article titles serve as both the introduction to the substance of articles and incentives for users to read articles in their entirety, but different quality articles may use different linguistic and content features of titles. This is rarely investigated by discourse analysts. The goal of this research is to compare and contrast titles in the English education field written by Indonesian authors and published in local journals with those written by foreign authors and published in high-impact foreign journals. Two hundred and eight article titles from five different Indonesian-accredited local journals and 512 article titles from five different high-impact foreign journals form the corpus of this research. The analyses were done on the titles' length and their linguistic and content features. The findings show that the article titles in high-impact foreign journals are slightly longer than those in local journals, local authors use nominal construction and verb-ing phrase types more frequently than high-impact foreign authors do, foreign authors use full sentences and prepositional phrases more frequently than the local journal authors do, and high-impact foreign journals use topic-only type of titles more frequently than in local journals do. The similarities are that nominal and compound constructions are the most dominant linguistic features while topic-only and method categories are the most dominant content features in both groups of article titles. While the most important features of titles are probably the conciseness and preciseness of the information contained in the titles, future studies should investigate these aspects of journal article titles in the same or different fields.

Abstract

While many studies have explored passive constructions in Indonesian, there is still a significant gap in research focusing on distinguishing passive clauses and categorizing them into canonical and non-canonical forms. This study aims to address this gap by identifying different types of passive clauses in Indonesian and classifying them into these two categories. The primary objectives are to establish clear criteria for validating the existence of canonical and non-canonical passive forms and to provide evidence supporting their distinction. To achieve these aims, we first analyze markers on Indonesian verbs, particularly the prefixes di-, ter-, and unmarked (zero) forms. The data used for this analysis consists of naturally occurring expressions and clauses sourced from the Leipzig Corpora. This data is examined through the lens of the (non)-canonical theory of passivization. The findings indicate that the di- marker on verbs predominantly signals canonical passive constructions. However, there are cases where the di- form shifts to non-canonical usage, especially when the agent is obligatorily present and cannot be syntactically demoted to an oblique role. In contrast, the ter- form and the unmarked form, which can denote either a bare active (BA) or a bare passive (BP) construction, consistently represent non-canonical passive constructions.

Abstract

Modo is an endangered Austronesian language mainly spoken on the islands of Komodo and Rinca in East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. Despite its status as an endangered language, Modo remains under-documented and understudied. This paper presents a phonological sketch of Modo based on primary data collected from native speakers in our 30-day fieldwork on the two islands. Through careful analysis of recordings from an elicited wordlist and transcription of naturalistic speech, this description covers Modo’s consonant and vowel inventories, syllable structure, stress assignment, and morphophonological analysis. Modo exhibits 31 consonants, including eight prenasalized stops, two implosives /ɓ/ and /ɗ/, the dental plosive /d̪/, the labio-dental approximant /ʋ/, and the loan palatal approximant /j/ and labio-dental fricative /f/. Additionally, Modo has six oral vowels, including the mid-central vowel /ə/, and five nasal vowels. The syllable structure of Modo is predominantly open, though it permits the consonants /h/ and /ʔ/ in word-final positions. Stress in Modo is generally assigned to the penultimate syllable, though shifts can occur in more complex phrases and sentences, indicating a nuanced prosodic system. Modo exhibits limited morphophonological processes, with only deletion and assimilation found in compounding. Furthermore, this study includes a brief discussion on practical orthography to enhance the accessibility of Modo’s unique phonemic units. We suggest the representation of distinctive phonemes, such as the implosives /ɓ/ and /ɗ/, voiced dental /d̪/, labio-dental approximant /ʋ/, and nasal vowels. This phonological sketch not only contributes to the documentation of an endangered language but also clarifies some phonological issues found in previous works and underscores the intricate linguistic features that characterize the Modo language, paving the way for future research and revitalization efforts.

Abstract

The fetish for disseminating knowledge through scholarly publication is tangible today with local scholars being heavily pressured to publish in both indexed local and international journals. While this intellectual endeavour is commendable for knowledge generation and dissemination, the very notion of knowledge is still strongly influenced by the Euro-and Western-centric orientation. This article problematizes the perpetuation of such knowledge especially in local academic publishing (i.e. Indonesia), and invites local scholars to mull over the possibility for thinking and acting otherwise, for seeking a radical alternative out of the existing alternatives, and for considering other ways of knowing and of being – that is to say, to embrace pluriversalim of knowledge through a space of “worlds and knowledges otherwise” (Escobar, 2007). In so doing, we can cultivate among local scholars another way of thinking – non-Euro-and non-Western-modes of thinking. The article will first examine the long-held scientific tradition in local academic writing and publishing practices. Then it discusses the lingering processes of intellectual hegemony in these practices. Finally, it offers another radical thought for creating a space of worlds and knowledges otherwise.

Abstract

The study was conducted with the aim of identifying the possibilities for implementing the informal research method of Action Research into the educational process of a pedagogical university as a tool for enhancing the research activity of university teachers in Kazakhstan. The significance of mastering this method by pedagogical university faculty is grounded in their ability to disseminate their experience, involving students—future teachers—in a cyclical process of continuous research and transformation of their pedagogical practices. As a result of the literature review, the advantages of Action Research were highlighted, particularly in terms of activating personal, professional, and environmental resources that were previously underutilized in traditional formal research formats. The relevance of the study lies in the necessity to examine global experiences with informal research methods, focusing on the feasibility of their implementation with consideration of the specific context of Kazakhstan. The article describes the process of conceptualizing the informal method of Action Research, diagnosing awareness and demand for this method among young pedagogical university faculty, developing and testing a program for its implementation, evaluating its effectiveness, ensuring post-course support, and determining the prospects for integrating the method on a national scale. Methods such as surveys, pilot studies, formative experiments, and Action Research tools were applied. A pilot implementation of Action Research was conducted to develop the research activity of young faculty members at Abai University, considering their needs within the framework of a modular professional development program titled “Action Research – the Foundation for Developing a Pedagogue-Researcher Model.” Analysis of the results confirmed the effectiveness of implementing the method in enhancing the research activity of teachers and transforming them into researcher-teachers. Based on the review and feedback analysis, the prospects for the expanded integration of informal research methods into the practice of education in Kazakhstan were identified.

Abstract

In today’s globalized world, the effective translation of promotional tourism materials plays a crucial role in bridging cultural and linguistic gaps, thereby enhancing tourist experiences and supporting the growth of the tourism sector. Within this line, this study investigated the translator trainees’ performance on bidirectional translation of tourism-related texts. A sample of 24 Saudi postgraduates specializing in translation participated in the study. They were tasked with translating two promotional tourism texts—one from the Visitsaudi website and the other from the Visittheusa website—representing typical features of both Arabic and English tourist discourse. The trainees’ translations were assessed quantitively and qualitatively in two scenarios: (a) translating from English to Arabic, and (b) the reverse based on three criteria: accuracy, style and clarity. The findings revealed significant challenges in both translation directions, particularly in maintaining style and clarity. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test identified statistically significant differences between the two translation directions, underscoring the inherent challenges in L1 to L2 translation (z = -2.372, p = .018, r = 0.48). The qualitative analysis further indicated that the trainees predominantly employed source-text (ST) oriented strategies, impacting negatively the style, clarity, and accuracy of the target texts (TTs). The trainees’ reliance on source-text (ST) oriented strategies resulted in translations that did not adapt to the linguistic and cultural nuances of the target language, which negatively impacted the quality of the target texts (TTs). The study concludes with recommendations for improving the trainees’ bidirectional translation skills in tourism translation.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has significantly influenced the field of linguistics, particularly pragmatics, by expanding its scope from traditional intra-linguistic factors to encompass extralinguistic contexts such as social, cultural, situational, and cyber dimensions. This shift has ushered in functionalistic and post-functionalistic approaches in Indonesia, broadening the field to include semantic, cultural, cognitive, and cyber pragmatics. This study investigates how visual multimodal cybertext contexts in Indonesian digital media affect the interpretation of speech intent. This research draws on five selected visual, multimodal text excerpts from social media collected through free-flowing listening and note-taking, and it employs distributional and extralinguistic analysis methods. The findings reveal three primary roles of visual elements in cybertext: (1) typographic visuals that clarify background context for intended meaning, (2) visual icons that aid in contextual explanation, and (3) illustrative visuals that enhance understanding of the communicated message. These visual components are essential in facilitating accurate interpretation and engagement with speech acts in digital spaces. Addressing the gaps in understanding these elements can enhance communication strategies in Indonesian digital media, supporting clearer interaction and comprehension in a multicultural digital environment. This research contributes to the evolving field of cyber pragmatics by demonstrating the need for effective multimodal approaches to digital communication, especially in diverse sociocultural settings.

Abstract

Studying from home may cause problems for academic performance and psychological well-being, however, studying from home may bring advantages for “flexibility”, “study-life balance” and academic achievement. Hence, this paper investigated whether university students gained benefits by studying Mandarin (as a foreign language) from home based on the Theory of Needs of David McClelland. This theory has linked to the Need for Power (through Flexibility), the Need for Affiliation (through Study-Life Balance) and the Need for Achievement (through Learning Performance). The study employed a quantitative method, and the instrument used was a survey. The samples comprised of 326 students who enrolled in a Mandarin course at the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam and Puncak Alam, Selangor. The data was analysed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) for obtaining descriptive statistics such as mean scores, standard deviations and correlation. In terms of the Need for Power (through Flexibility), the results demonstrated that students very often had the power for saving on commuting expenses and focus on the study; while the results for the Need for Affiliation (through Study-Life Balance) revealed that students were able to save more time to handle tasks on hand, attend to family needs and enhanced family relationship. The results for the Need for Achievement (through Learning Performance) indicated that students very often had control over learning performance due to their Mandarin lecturers understood their challenges, provided more learning materials and monitored their progress. It is recommended that the motivation to study from home can be further explored. This study could be replicated to examine if the McClellan’s Needs Theory would meet the needs of other larger groups of students.

Abstract

Emergence learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was a challenging experience for many learners possibly due to the physical and psychological distance. This distance conceptualized as a transactional distance according to Moore’s theory is a critical issue in distance learning. Therefore, the present study attempted to (1) determine Saudi EFL students’ levels of perceived transactional distance in distance learning, (2) measure the impact of the interaction of course structure, dialogue and learner autonomy on Saudi EFL students’ perceived TD in distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic (3) examine the effect of socio-demographic and environmental factors on their perceived transactional distance. By administering a multidimensional electronic (e-)survey to 189 students joining distance learning in a Saudi public university, the study provided evidence of learners’ high levels of perceived dialogue, structure, and autonomy, along with low levels of perceived transactional distance. The correlation analyses showed that dialogue, structure, and learner autonomy significantly and inversely correlate with learners’ transactional distance. The ANOVA analysis revealed that the interaction of dialogue and course structure significantly impacts the perceived transactional distance. Moreover, learners’ levels of perceived transactional distance varied according to their socio-demographic and environmental factors, specifically age, gender, university discipline/major and number of online courses taken by them. The study provides useful pedagogical implications for technology use in sustaining learners’ online learning experiences in terms of dialogue, structure and autonomy and in reducing their perceived transactional distance. Thus, the study is useful for promotion of the distance learning potentials in higher educational institutions.
