Abstract

Political speeches play a strategic role in conveying ideological messages and constructing meaning that influences public opinion. In the Indonesian political context, the presidential inauguration speech is a crucial moment that not only reflects the leadership vision but also serves as a means to construct a national narrative, strengthen leadership legitimacy, and symbolically convey the government's agenda. This study aims to describe the use of lexical features in President Prabowo Subianto's 2024 inauguration speech. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with distributional analysis techniques to identify and examine the lexical elements that shape meaning and ideology in the speech text. The focus of the study includes classification patterns, ideological vocabulary, lexicalization, meaning relations, euphemistic expressions, and the use of metaphors. The results of the study indicate that the speech represents a strong ideological construction, marked by the dominance of national narratives, calls for unity, and the affirmation of the people's role as the main axis of power. The choice of diction in the speech reflects a political communication strategy that is not only persuasive, but also ideological, thus playing a significant role in shaping public perception of national leadership figures. These findings confirm that lexical features in political speeches function more than just rhetorical tools for President Prabowo Subianto, but also serve as effective ideological instruments in directing discourse and shaping public opinion. This research demonstrates that the language of inaugural speeches needs to be understood not only from a surface semantic perspective but also from an ideological perspective, as it reflects specific interests and plays a crucial role in hegemonic processes. This research contributes to critical discourse studies in the Indonesian political context, particularly in understanding how power is mediated through language. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for further research on linguistic strategies in political communication.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the meaning of swear words in Deli Malay through the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (MSA). The focus of the study is directed at the forms of metaphors and allusions that represent the expression of anger of the Deli Malay community in the city of Medan and its surroundings. The data studied are in the form of oral speech obtained from native speakers aged over 40 years who use BM Deli in everyday life. The data collection technique was carried out using the listening method, with advanced techniques in the form of listening with conversation and listening without conversation. Data analysis was carried out using the MSA-based semantic element and explication separation technique to reveal the original meaning of each form of swearing. The results of the study show that angry swearing in Deli Malay does not only function as an emotional release, but also as a reflection of the local cultural value and cognition system. The swearing systematically utilizes linguistic references such as body parts, kinship terms, animals, professions and social activities, which have the meaning of “bad”, “doing”, “feeling”, “knowing”, and “happening” in the original meaning structure. The MSA theory makes an important contribution in identifying universal meaning elements and at the same time explaining cultural specificities in the linguistic expressions of the Deli Malay community. Thus, this study strengthens the position of MSA as an effective theory in explaining the relationship between language, emotion, and culture from a cross-linguistic semantic perspective.

Abstract

Along with the development of the times, national values are increasingly eroded by foreign cultures that easily enter Indonesia. An example of the influence of foreign culture is the Korean Wave, which Indonesian teenagers widely love. This is caused by the weakness of national values possessed by the young generation in Indonesia. National values themselves need to be instilled from an early age until adolescence to avoid various problems that often occur in the teenage environment, such as the decline in politeness and the forgetting of Pancasila values among teenagers. National values need to be instilled by utilizing various available media. One of the media that can be used is the Jaran Pegon art, which still has many fans to this day. Therefore, this study aims to explain the national valuescontained in the Jaran Pegon culture, which is typical of Kediri. This study is classified as qualitative research, utilizing interview techniques with relevant parties to gather the necessary information. The results obtained from this study reveal the presence of strong national values, such as divinity, unity, and patriotism, in the art of Jaran Pegon and Javanese songs used within this art form. With many enthusiasts spread across Kediri and its surroundings, Jaran Pegon has the opportunity to instill national values in the general public through its performing arts.

Abstract

This study examines acts of sexism in the novel Tuhan Ijinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur through a qualitative approach using critical discourse analysis. Data collection was carried out through documentation studies. The data were then analyzed through three stages, namely description, interpretation, and explanation. This study focuses on textual excerpts that contain sexist elements against men and women. Through a critical discourse analysis approach, the novel Tuhan Ijinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur by Muhidin M. Dahlan reveals how language and narrative are used to reproduce, challenge, and deconstruct male power over women and female power over men in society. The research findings reveal two main forms of sexism in the novel. First, sexism against men is depicted through gender stereotypes that depict men as strong, responsible, and the main breadwinners for the family. In addition, men in the novel experience various forms of violence and sexual harassment, including physical violence and verbal abuse. This depiction reinforces rigid gender expectations that limit male identity to certain roles and behaviors. Second, sexism against women is manifested through stereotypes that impose expectations of nurturing, obedience, and moral purity. Women are subjected to acts of violence and sexual harassment, reflecting the broader social injustices they face. The novel illustrates how gender constructs contribute to oppression and inequality. Through its narrative, Tuhan Izinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur presents sexism as a multidimensional issue that affects both genders. A critical discourse analysis of the novel reveals that the work not only presents the personal narratives of a woman and a man, but also serves as a tool for social critique that challenges gender constructs and sexism that are deeply rooted in society. The novel encourages readers to reflect on and question social and religious norms that have been accepted uncritically, and advocates for the importance of gender equality and individual freedom.

Abstract

Indonesian language instruction at the junior high school level often faces challenges in creating contextual and meaningful learning activities for students. One innovative solution that can be applied is the use of student worksheets (LKPD) based on project-based learning (PJBL) to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study aims to develop PJBL-based LKPD for the Indonesian language subject in Grade IX at SMP Muhammadiyah 47 Sunggal that meets the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. This is a development research employing the ADDIE. The research subjects were Grade IX students and an Indonesian language teacher. Data collection techniques included expert validation (content, media, and language), practicality questionnaires for teachers and students, and a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the product. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The results show that the developed PJBL-based LKPD met the criteria of being highly valid in terms of content, design, and language; highly practical based on responses from teachers and students; and highly effective in improving student learning outcomes. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature on PJBL-based instructional material development. Practically, the developed LKPD can serve as an innovative and relevant learning resource to enhance the quality of Indonesian language instruction at the junior high school level

Abstract

The low proficiency in the Indonesian language among residents of Kokoda Village serves as the primary background for this study, which is influenced by limited access to formal education and the complex socio-cultural context of the community. This research aims to measure the improvement in participants’ Indonesian language skills after engaging in a learning program designed with a contextual and participatory approach, as well as to understand the level of participant engagement throughout the program implementation. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving 45 participants as research subjects. Data were collected through tests assessing writing, reading, and speaking abilities in Indonesian. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data processing, data management, and result interpretation, to provide a comprehensive overview of participants’ skill development. The findings reveal significant improvements across all language skill areas: reading ability increased to an average of 72%, writing ability reached 80%, and speaking ability reached 69%. Additionally, participant engagement was high, with 84% consistently attending at least 75% of the learning sessions, indicating strong motivation fostered through an interactive learning approach that integrates local content. The study’s implications highlight the importance of implementing learning programs that are sensitive to socio-cultural contexts and empower local facilitators to enhance functional literacy in remote areas. This approach not only improves learning outcomes but also supports program sustainability by strengthening social and cultural bonds within the community. The research provides recommendations for the development of more responsive educational programs that address the specific needs and characteristics of indigenous communities in future initiatives
