Abstract

This research addresses the tendency in Kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama studies to predominantly treat the text as a historiographical and ideological source, overlooking a systematic examination of its travel dimensions and the author's world-reporting methods from a travel literature perspective. The main problem of this research is how Mpu Prapañca reports the world through his travel experiences in Kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama. This research aims to analyze the structure of world reporting in Mpu Prapañca's travels from the perspective of Carl Thompson's travel literature. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach. The primary research data consist of the Kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama text itself, which describes the journey, supplemented by supporting data from interviews with experts in Old Javanese literature, textual observation, and library documentation. Data collection techniques include document studies, reading and note-taking, limited interviews, and literature reviews, while data analysis is conducted through content analysis grounded in the theory of travel literature. The results of the study indicate that the world in Kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama is systematically structured through a recurring spatial framework, including villages, waters, forests, and mountains, and is conveyed from a near-destination perspective. The conclusion of the study confirms that Kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama is a pre-modern travel literature text that consciously constructs the world through travel experiences, thus broadening the understanding of classical Nusantara literature within the framework of travel literature theory. This framework can be applied to other classical Nusantara texts containing travel structures for further research.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of the phoneme [ŋ] in the onset position of Bahasa Indonesia (BI) and the factors influencing its changes among foreign speakers learning BI as a third language (L3). It employed a qualitative approach. Five BIPA students served as subjects. Their L1 and L2 typological proximity to BI was determined by language-family classification. Data were collected through elicitation and interviews, and analysis involved comparing the representation of the phoneme [ŋ] in subjects' speech with standard BI speech. Results show that the representation of the phoneme [ŋ] in the onset position by subjects whose L1 is typologically close to BI aligns with standard BI speech. This is attributed to their L1 having a similar phonological system to BI. Conversely, for foreign speakers whose L1 and L2 are typologically distant from BI, their phonological systems exhibit differences in speech compared to standard BI. In the speech of these subjects, the representation of [ŋ] in the onset position shows specific alterations. These include: 1) the epenthesis of [g] after [ŋ]; and 2) the shifting of [ŋ] from the onset to the coda of the preceding syllable, with the original onset position then being replaced by [g]. Two factors influence these changes: 1) the phonological systems of L1 and L2 lack [ŋ] in the onset position, though they permit it in medial and final positions; and 2) foreign speakers misinterpret the /ng/ form as a sequence of [n] and [g] ([n-g]), which leads to pronunciation errors.

Abstract

This study examines the use of figurative language and imagery in the song lyrics of Hindia’s album Lagipula Hidup Akan Berakhir through a stylistic approach. While previous studies on song lyrics tend to focus on isolated texts, they rarely explore how stylistic patterns operate systematically across a complete album as a unified textual entity. This study aims to identify types of figurative language, classify forms of imagery, and explain their stylistic functions in constructing existential meanings within the album. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data consist of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing figurative language and imagery drawn from all songs in the album. Data were collected using listening and note-taking techniques and analyzed through an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. A coding framework was used to systematically categorize figurative devices and imagery types. The findings reveal that comparative figures of speech, particularly metaphor, simile, and personification, are the most dominant forms. These expressions function as conceptual tools to represent abstract experiences such as loss, anxiety, and mortality. Oppositional figures, including irony, paradox, and hyperbole, help convey emotional tension and social critique. In terms of imagery, visual imagery is the most dominant type, indicating a strong reliance on visual representation to construct meaning and enhance imaginative engagement. This study contributes to stylistic studies by demonstrating that song lyrics within a single album exhibit consistent, systematic stylistic patterns that function cohesively to construct existential themes.

Abstract

The complex cultural and linguistic competencies essential for Indonesian language education highlight the need for instructional models that enhance student engagement and conceptual understanding. Conventional textbook-based instruction often fails to address these needs, particularly for at-risk learners who struggle with abstract reasoning and cultural interpretation. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating decision-aid science into game-based interactive textbooks to improve student engagement and conceptual mastery. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, this research involved 70 high school students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used an interactive digital textbook embedded with decision-oriented simulations and real-time feedback, while the control group received traditional instruction. Quantitative results show that students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater gains in conceptual understanding, especially among moderate- and high-risk learners (p < .001), whereas the control group exhibited negligible improvement. Qualitative findings further indicate that decision-based simulations fostered meaningful engagement, enhanced the clarity of abstract concepts, and reduced performance pressure. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating how decision-aid science—typically applied in cognitive and behavioral research—can be operationalized within digital language learning environments to scaffold reasoning, strengthen motivation, and create low-stress learning conditions.

Abstract

This study examines the use of satire in Eko Kuntadhi’s Instagram posts within the context of digital political discourse. While previous studies have explored satire in mass media and television, limited attention has been given to satire produced by public figures on social media platforms. This study aims to identify types of satire and analyze their communicative functions using a critical discourse approach. This research employs a qualitative method with discourse analysis. The data consist of 58 satirical statements collected through documentation techniques from Instagram posts. The analysis is based on Abrams and Harpham's classification of satire, combined with critical discourse perspectives, to examine meaning, ideology, and power relations. The findings show that Horatian satire dominates (51.7%), followed by Juvenalian (31%) and Menippean (17.2%). Horatian satire uses humor to persuade, Juvenalian satire expresses moral criticism, and Menippean satire critiques ideological patterns. The study reveals that satire operates not only as a stylistic device but also as a discursive tool that reflects ideological positioning and power relations in digital political communication. This study contributes to linguistic and discourse studies by demonstrating that satire in social media functions as a strategic mechanism for negotiating meaning, ideology, and audience engagement in digital public discourse.

Abstract

This study examines how translation techniques interact with ideological orientation in the Indonesian rendering of selected poems from Firstborn by Louise Glück. It integrates Lawrence Venuti's concepts of foreignization and domestication with the taxonomy of translation techniques proposed by Lucía Molina and Amparo Hurtado Albir. Adopting a qualitative design grounded in comparative textual analysis, the dataset comprises 21 translation units drawn from five poems, along with their Indonesian versions published on Buruan.co. The findings indicate that literal translation and borrowing tend to align with a foreignizing orientation, as they preserve stylistic features and cultural markers of the source text. In contrast, techniques such as adaptation, modulation, amplification, reduction, and transposition are more closely associated with domestication, facilitating readability and cultural accessibility for the target audience. Overall, the distribution reflects a relatively balanced pattern, though it leans slightly toward domestication, particularly in instances where semantic clarity and reader comprehension are prioritized. By grounding ideological tendencies in observable textual evidence, this study contributes to translation studies by linking macro-level theoretical constructs (ideologies) with micro-level analytical practice (techniques). It also provides practical insights for translators seeking to negotiate the tension between aesthetic fidelity and readability in the translation of contemporary poetry.

Abstract

Syair Manoe Pucok is a key part of the Manoe Pucok purification ceremony. It serves both as a form of art and as an expression of parental care, offering moral lessons to the younger generation. However, despite its importance, the linguistic and stylistic aspects of this syair have received little scholarly attention. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the types of figurative language used in Syair Manoe Pucok and to interpret their cultural and pedagogical meanings. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research integrates linguistic-stylistic analysis with ethnographic interpretation. Data were collected from authentic syair lyrics performed by cultural practitioners in Aceh Barat Daya, supported by semi-structured interviews. The procedures included transcription, translation, coding of figurative expressions, stylistic analysis of poetic structures, and cultural interpretation validated through triangulation. The findings reveal four types of figurative language: symbolism (65%), metaphor (20%), hyperbole (10%), and personification (5%), with symbolism dominating the discourse. These stylistic devices function as more than decorative language; they embody purification, blessings, and parental counsel, reinforcing communal identity and moral values. In conclusion, Syair Manoe Pucok emerges as both an aesthetic expression and an educational medium, sustaining cultural continuity while strengthening spiritual and emotional bonds within Acehnese society.

Abstract

A genre-based approach is argued to be effective in developing students’ academic writing ability, but feedback provision remains a challenge. Studies on GenAI feedback have shown that GenAI tools can provide students with immediate, personalized feedback. However, a few studies have investigated the impact of integrating GenAI feedback into a genre-based approach. To fill this gap, this study integrated GenAI feedback into a process-genre approach (PGA) to teaching exposition, which is an academic genre. Focusing on students’ interpersonal lexicogrammatical developmental trajectory, this study employed a single-case study design. Data were collected from 15 EFL (English as a foreign language) undergraduate students' drafts (diagnostic writing test, four successive drafts, and final writing test). Students’ texts were scored using an SFL-informed rubric. The developmental trajectory was analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA, along with the SFL mood, modality, and appraisal systems. The results indicated a statistically significant increment in students’ interpersonal grammar, F(2.85, 39.92) = 33.56, p < .001, ηp2 = .706, though a slight drop in the final writing test was observed. This study concludes that PGA with GenAI feedback could facilitate students’ interpersonal lexicogrammar, but students still needed learning and writing support from the teacher. The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the PGA with GenAI feedback in teaching exposition.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the decreasing documentation and understanding of the younger generation regarding the names of local Banten bananas and their philosophical meanings, even though the lexicon represents local wisdom and traditional knowledge of the community. This study aims to examine and describe the lexicon and philosophy of local Banten banana names from an anthropolinguistic perspective as an effort to document culture. The method used is descriptive qualitative with an anthropological approach. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews with 13 informants across four districts in Banten Province, and visual documentation and field notes. From 166 initial data from interviews that have been deduplicated, 62 lexicons of local banana names were obtained, all of which are in the form of attributive endocentric noun phrases. Analysis shows that 57 names still have philosophical meanings that can be explained based on physical characteristics, colour, taste, texture, aroma, consumption habits, and symbolic associations. In contrast, the others have experienced a loss of meaning due to social and generational changes. In conclusion, the lexicon of local Banten banana names serves not only as a varietal marker but also as a cultural archive that reflects the relationship among language, culture, and environment, making its documentation important for preserving the identity and traditional knowledge of the Banten people.

Abstract

The use of imperative sentences in film dialogues not only represents grammatical structures, but also reflects social relations, power dynamics, and character construction, so that a study is needed that can explain the variations in the forms and functions of imperatives contextually. This study aims to identify, classify, and describe the categories and functions of imperative sentences in the dialogues of the French film Calamity, une enfance de Martha Jane Cannary based on Zhang's classification of strong, neutral, and weak tones. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, documentation, and interview techniques to support data interpretation. The data sources are all imperative sentences contained in the film dialogues, which are then classified and analyzed based on the distribution of tone categories and their communicative functions. The results show that strong-toned imperatives dominate and function primarily to command, reprimand, and give instructions in the context of situations that require assertiveness and quick responses. Neutral and weak-toned imperatives appear in the functions of giving advice, reminding, requesting, and pleading, which reflect a more cooperative and emotional interpersonal dynamic. In conclusion, the classification of imperative tones has proven effective in explaining the relationship between syntactic structure and pragmatic function in the film medium, and shows that imperative sentences play a role as a discursive strategy in building social relations and character identities in audiovisual narratives.
