This study investigates the use of derivational and inflectional affixes in selected songs by Meghan Trainor. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzes 10 of Trainor’s songs to identify and classify affixes based on their morphological functions. The results show that inflectional affixes dominate the lyrics, with a total of 77 occurrences compared to 27 derivational affixes. This indicates that the lyrics frequently feature inflectional affixes to convey grammatical functions such as tenses, plurality, and comparison. This finding may suggest a tendency in similar English pop lyrics tend to use inflectional affixes to maintain grammatical structure while supporting rhythmic flow.

This study examines the reconstruction of judicial mediation processes through the lens of critical discourse analysis, focusing on the implementation of maslahat principles at the Palopo Religious Court. The research investigates how Islamic jurisprudential concepts of maslahat (public interest/benefit) can be integrated into contemporary judicial mediation practices to enhance conflict resolution effectiveness within the Indonesian religious court system. Using critical discourse analysis methodology, this study analyzes the linguistic patterns, power dynamics, and ideological frameworks embedded in judicial mediation discourse at the Palopo Religious Court. The research explores how judges construct meaning through language while incorporating maslahat-based approaches in their mediation processes, examining both explicit and implicit discursive strategies that shape dispute resolution outcomes. The findings reveal significant opportunities for reconstructing mediation processes by systematically integrating maslahat principles into judicial discourse. The analysis demonstrates how judges can employ maslahat-oriented language and reasoning to facilitate more culturally relevant and ethically grounded mediation sessions. The study identifies key discursive patterns that either support or hinder the effective application of maslahat in judicial mediation contexts. The research contributes to understanding how Islamic legal principles can be meaningfully incorporated into modern judicial practices through careful attention to discursive construction. The reconstruction model proposed emphasizes the importance of aligning judicial language with maslahat values to achieve more equitable and contextually appropriate dispute resolution outcomes. This study provides practical insights for religious court judges seeking to enhance their mediation practices through maslahat-based approaches while maintaining procedural integrity within the Indonesian legal system. The findings suggest that critical discourse analysis offers valuable tools for understanding and improving the integration of Islamic jurisprudential principles in contemporary judicial mediation processes.

This study investigates the influence of prolonged exposure to English-language YouTube videos on the disruption of mother tongue development among young children in Indonesia. Set within the growing relevance of digital media in early language acquisition, this qualitative research adopts a case study design involving seven children aged 3 to 7 years who are currently receiving speech therapy in Bandung. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with parents and non-participant observations of the children's communicative behaviors. Findings indicate a recurring pattern of language interference, including frequent code-mixing between English and Bahasa Indonesia, limited mastery of native vocabulary, and dependence on non-verbal cues such as gestures or incomplete phrases. For instance, several children were observed substituting basic Indonesian words with English counterparts (e.g., “open” instead of buka), or forming syntactically incorrect sentences influenced by English structure. These disruptions are closely associated with the predominance of English-language input during daily screen time and a marked reduction in native language interaction—particularly during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The study underscores an imbalance in bilingual exposure, wherein English increasingly replaces Bahasa Indonesia in daily expression, potentially contributing to expressive language delays and syntactic confusion. To address these challenges, the research recommends increased parental mediation, purposeful mother tongue engagement at home, and implementation of media literacy programs tailored to early childhood contexts. While the study provides valuable insights into media-induced linguistic shifts in multilingual settings, it is limited by its small sample size and specific geographic focus. Future research should explore longitudinal outcomes and include diverse socio-cultural contexts to enhance generalizability.

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the Tandem application in improving English speaking skills. The background of this research is based on the importance of speaking skills in foreign language learning and the common challenges faced by students, such as awkwardness, anxiety, and limited interaction with native speakers. The research method used is a phenomenological qualitative approach with observation techniques, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews with five students who use the Tandem application. The results showed that the Tandem application helped increase self-confidence, speaking fluency, and the ability to understand various accents and cultural contexts. Students felt bolder speaking with native speakers and experienced an increase in faster speaking responses. However, some respondents highlighted the lack of structured feedback from native speakers and suggested integrating the app with formal teacher-led learning. The findings emphasize the need for collaboration between learning technology and conventional approaches for optimal results in speaking skill acquisition.
