Abstract

The increased prevalence of English in daily Indonesian communication was attributed to the rise of digital commerce and social media. Unlike previous research on code-mixing and borrowing, few studies have investigated how English words were modified in online service chats. This paper investigated how Indonesian Gen Z users transformed English words morphosyntactically in their conversations. It analyzed 124 chat interactions collected from Shopee, Tokopedia, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Using qualitative analysis, the study identified recurring morphosyntactic processes, including clipping, affixation, permutation, and hybrid command formation. Examples included "notif” (from notification), “orderan” (order + -an), “di-scan” (scan with the Indonesian passive prefix di-), and “auto-panik” (automatically panic). These forms showed that English words were restructured to fit Indonesian linguistic patterns, becoming integrated into everyday digital communication rather than remaining isolated loanwords. Interview data revealed that users employed these forms to make communication more efficient, distinctive, humorous, and socially engaging. The findings confirmed that Indonesian youth actively modified English words to support efficient, creative, humorous, and interactive communication. These usage patterns contributed to ongoing changes in Indonesian digital communication.

Abstract

Despite the recognized benefits of creative project-based learning, research on problem-solving abilities remains largely focused on STEM disciplines, leaving a significant gap in the humanities. Furthermore, how motivation, mentorship, and peer dynamics collectively interact to drive creative problem-solving within the Indonesian educational context remains underexplored. To address this, this study investigates the impact of these psychosocial factors on students’ problem-solving abilities during creative literature projects. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we analyzed survey data from 100 elementary and junior high school students in Indonesia who actively participated in university-collaborated literature programs. The model evaluated motivation, mentorship, and peer relationships as independent variables; problem-solving abilities as a mediator; and project outcomes as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that motivation and mentorship significantly enhance problem-solving abilities, whereas peer relationships exert a comparatively lesser influence. Crucially, problem-solving abilities fully mediate the relationship between these psychosocial inputs and final project outcomes. In practice, educators should prioritize cultivating intrinsic motivation and active mentorship to enhance the success of creative problem-solving. Future research should explore these dynamics globally using a multi-level approach.

Abstract

Cultural hybridization plays a significant role in shaping cross-cultural understanding. Nevertheless, research on how local ethnic identities are negotiated through translation remains limited, particularly regarding Betawi culture. This study examines the translation of Betawi cultural terms in Cerita dari Jakarta and its English version, Tales from Djakarta. Utilizing Homi K. Bhabha’s Third Space concept and Peter Newmark’s cultural categories, the study analyzes 257 pairs of cultural terms. Terms are categorized as hybridized when source cultural elements are retained, and as de-hybridized when adapted, generalized, or neutralized. The findings reveal that 63% of the terms are de-hybridized, indicating a tendency to prioritize communicative accessibility and narrative fluency for international readers. However, hybridization is predominant in material culture, especially in names and tangible cultural objects (92%), while idioms and ritual expressions are de-hybridized more frequently (5%). These results suggest that translation functions as a process of cultural negotiation, wherein local identities are selectively preserved or adapted for a global audience.

Abstract

Children’s literature serves as an effective medium for instilling various ideologies, including ecological awareness, in young readers. This study analyzes the representation of ecological issues in the children’s book Pilus Rumput Laut untuk Rasi (2022). It evaluates its suitability for children’s literature, considering its adherence to children’s literature characteristics and the challenges of adapting complex topics. Using a qualitative approach with ecocritical content analysis, grounded in Glotfelty and Fromm’s (1996) theoretical framework, this study identifies five main issues: local climate change, mining-induced damage, plastic pollution, environmental justice, and ecocentrism. The results indicate that the book effectively adapts complex issues through simple language, action-based narratives, a focus on hope, and strong visuals, aligning well with characteristics of intermediate-level children’s literature (Jenjang Semenjana). However, criticisms include the potential for oversimplification of complex structural environmental justice issues and the risk of eliciting anxiety or controversy. This research contributes to filling gaps in studies on environmental issue representation within Indonesian socio-cultural contexts, the effectiveness of visual/narrative messages, and the handling of emotional dimensions in children’s literature.
Makhtūṭah Qaṣidah li al-Ṣibyān li al-Shaikh Ṣālih Tsaniy: Philological Study [The Manuscript of Qaṣidah li al-Ṣibyān by Sheikh Ṣālih Tsaniy: A Philological Study] Muhammad Wildan Khoir; M Adib Misbachul Islam; Titi Farhanah; Mugy Nugraha

Abstract

Qasidah li al-Shibyan, a theological poem by Syaikh Sholih Tsaniy preserved within the Indonesian Islamic manuscript tradition, has not previously undergone critical editing (tahqiq) or scholarly examination. Existing studies on the author’s works have primarily focused on Qasidah fi al-Shaum, leaving his theological writings largely unexplored. This study aims to produce a critical edition of Qasidah li al-Shibyan, identify and correct scribal errors, and examine the text's theological teachings. Employing a philological approach, the research involved manuscript identification, inventory, description, comparison, and textual criticism of two digitized manuscripts (DS 0097 00052 and DS 0097 00058) preserved at the Qomaruddin Institute, Gresik. The comparative analysis revealed various orthographic and scribal variations, particularly inconsistencies in hamzah usage and the substitution of ta’ marbutah with haa’. These variants reflect common practices in Arabic manuscript transmission rather than substantive differences in meaning or doctrine. Based on textual quality and completeness, Manuscript A was selected as the base text for the critical edition. The findings demonstrate that the qasidah primarily expounds the fifty tenets of Islamic faith (‘Aqa’id al-Khamsin), encompassing the obligatory, impossible, and permissible attributes of God and His messengers. This study provides the first critical edition of Qasidah li al-Shibyan and offers new insights into the transmission of Sunni theological teachings, manuscript culture, and Islamic intellectual traditions in the Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

Self-efficacy has been shown to be a key determinant of foreign language learners' efforts and academic achievement. Hence, understanding learners' self-efficacy and the factors that may influence it is vital to improving learners' language learning outcomes. This study investigated Vietnamese learners' overall English self-efficacy and explored potential differences by academic major and gender, using a cross-sectional, quantitative design. 549 participants from four majors at a university in Vietnam were recruited through non-proportional quota sampling. The results revealed that the participants generally have moderate English self-efficacy, with the highest self-efficacy reported in reading. There was a significant difference between majors, as English majors showed higher self-efficacy than their non-major counterparts. In terms of gender, male learners are found to have higher English self-efficacy than female learners, although the gender difference was modest. These findings highlight the importance of structured training, underscoring the need for new pedagogical strategies to boost English learners' self-efficacy and providing implications for further research.

Abstract

In the contemporary era of globalization and digital culture, local folktales continue to play a vital role in preserving cultural identity and moral values amid increasing cultural homogenization. This study explores how folktales from diverse cultures express universal human values and contribute to world literature. It analyzes six folktales from Minahasa (Indonesia), Turkey, and Vietnam—regions renowned for their rich oral storytelling traditions yet often underrepresented in comparative world literature research. The study addresses two central questions: Which universal themes are reflected in these folktales, and how do they exemplify David Damrosch’s three characteristics of world literature: circulation, transformation, and transcendence? Employing Damrosch’s theoretical framework, alongside the Aarne-Thompson-Uther (ATU) and Thompson’s Motif-Index classification systems, this qualitative comparative study identifies five recurring themes: transformation, love and sacrifice, rivalry, wisdom and betrayal, and moral justice. The findings reveal distinct levels of circulation, transformation, and transcendence among the folktales. While Minahasan folktales are more widely circulated within Indonesia, all six narratives exhibit adaptability and cross-cultural resonance, illustrating how local folktales safeguard cultural heritage while enriching global literary discourse. The study concludes that transcendence in world literature depends not only on circulation but also on a folktale’s capacity to convey universal human experiences through reinterpretation, translation, and cultural adaptation across societies.

Abstract

Authors leave distinctive linguistic traces that reflect their identity through consistent writing styles, particularly in morphosyntactic patterns and lexical choices. However, the increasing use of AI writing tools challenges authorship attribution because machine-generated text can imitate or obscure individual writing characteristics. This study investigates linguistic features that effectively identify authors and differentiate human-written from AI-generated texts. A corpus comprising 2,074,125 tokens and 63,414 word types was compiled from collaborative digital platforms, including instant messaging and social media. Lexical and stylistic features were extracted to develop hybrid authorship-classification models, while N-gram tracing was used to identify salient patterns. The findings demonstrate that lexical choice is the most reliable indicator for distinguishing human and AI-generated texts. Character-level N-gram analysis further demonstrates that authorship can be identified through delicate patterns involving letters, capitalization, punctuation, and other non-alphabetic characters. Diction appeared as the strongest factor in differentiating individual authors. These results enhance the reliability of authorship attribution methods and provide valuable insights for forensic investigations of digitally mediated communication involving human–AI interaction.
