Taboo Language in Political Discussions in X (Twitter)

2026-05-20T08:52:30+08:00

The study examined the use of taboo language in political discourse on X (Twitter). The objectives of the study are to: (1) identify the Malay and English taboo words used in political discourse on Twitter, and (2) analyze the function of using Malay and English in political discourse on X. The descriptive study involved the collection of posts from X using the search words “politics” from 1 June 2022 to 31 August 2022 and with geotagging for “Malaysia”. A total of 126 tweets containing 202 posts with taboo words were identified. The analysis showed that the most common type of taboo words is insult and slur (59), followed by cursing (50) and epithets (49). There were less words on obscenity (14), vulgarity (13), slang (9), and scatology (8). No taboo words related to profanity and blasphemy were found. For the function of taboo words, the main function is discrediting other people or ideas (108). The X user used taboo words for other functions less frequently, namely, catharsis (46), strong interpersonal identification (39), attention-getting (7), and provoking of violent confrontation (2). A bigger range of taboo words in English was found for vulgarity and scatology but more taboo words in Malay were found for insult and slur, curse words, epithets, obscenity, and slang. The findings indicate respect for religious and ethnic sensitivities through the absence of blasphemy and profanities.

Praxeological Analysis of Grade IX Arabic Language Textbook for Madrasah Tsanawiyah

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

Arabic textbooks play a crucial role in learning; however, improper material presentation and task design can trigger learning obstacles. Given the limited evaluation of textbooks using a praxeological approach, this study aims to analyze the ninth-grade Madrasah Tsanawiyah Arabic textbook published by the Directorate of KSKK of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as to identify the characteristics of Arabic task design from a praxeological perspective. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research design. The data were sourced from the tarkib (grammar) material in Chapter 1, which was analyzed using Yves Chevallard's praxeological framework through four components: task, technique, technology, and theory. The results indicate that the didactic design in this textbook features a structured development of the praxis dimension, but it does not align with the consistency of the logos dimension. Despite systematic instructional progress, the absence of definitive written instructions in the initial phase and the fluctuating presentation of theoretical foundations trigger various learning obstacles, including didactic, epistemological, and ontogenic obstacles. This gap causes students to lean toward mechanical pattern memorization without comprehensive logical understanding. Therefore, a stricter synchronization between task assignments and theoretical explanations is required from the very beginning of the material to ensure students' conceptual maturity in mastering Arabic grammar

A Deconstruction of the Meaning of Character Values in Chairul Harun’s Novel “Warisan”

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

This study examines how character education values are constructed and challenged in Chairul Harun’s novel Warisan. While traditional literary analyses often treat cultural and moral frameworks as fixed guidelines, this research explores how such values are actively contested and renegotiated within the narrative. Using the complete text of Warisan as the primary data source, the analysis follows a hermeneutic-deconstructive four-stage process—identifying explicit moral themes, mapping narrative tensions, deconstructing binary oppositions, and synthesizing cultural negotiations—to examine how this Minangkabau regional novel uniquely portrays inheritance and identity as fluid rather than fixed. The findings reveal two main points: first, culturally respected values are frequently used to justify personal or group interests rather than reflecting genuine communal ethics; second, the narrative emphasizes an ongoing negotiation between individual agency and cultural expectations, with characters ultimately prioritizing moral and spiritual legacies over material wealth. By demonstrating that ethical meaning in literature is dynamic rather than absolute, the study challenges traditional, lesson-based approaches to character education. It recommends that literary instruction should focus on developing students’ critical literacy and ethical independence. Ultimately, this research contributes to Indonesian literary scholarship by providing a clear analytical framework that connects cultural interpretation with critical reading, while offering actionable insights for teaching character education through regional fiction

Exploring Local Wisdom and Cultural Identity in Students’ Creative Poetry Practices within the Literary Studio Course

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

This study aims to explore the representation of local wisdom and cultural identity in undergraduate students’ creative poetry practices within the Sanggar Sastra (Literary Studio) course. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical design, data were collected through documentation of student-authored poems, in-depth semi-structured interviews, and participatory classroom observations. Data analysis followed an interactive process of reduction, thematic display, and conclusion drawing, with a specific focus on cultural symbols, ecological imagery, and embedded socio-moral values. The findings reveal that local wisdom is robustly articulated through indigenous kinship terminology, nature-based metaphors, and community-oriented ethical injunctions. Students’ cultural identity emerges through deliberate lexical choices, geocultural positioning, and critical negotiations between traditional values and contemporary modernity. The creative process unfolds across four pedagogically scaffolded stages: experiential exploration, aesthetic processing, value reflection, and collaborative revision. Beyond textual production, this practice significantly enhances students’ creative expression, reflective thinking, and cultural awareness. The Sanggar Sastra course thus functions as an integrative pedagogical space that simultaneously develops cognitive, affective, and creative competencies. The study concludes that practice-based literary pedagogy effectively strengthens cultural literacy and reinforces local identity amid globalizing educational landscapes. These findings offer valuable theoretical and practical contributions to culturally responsive language and literature education, providing a replicable framework for integrating indigenous knowledge systems into higher education curricula and fostering ethically grounded, culturally resilient graduates.

Perbandingan Prosodi Semantis Kata “Kiai” pada Media Independen dan Media Keagamaan dalam Pemberitaan Pesantren Bulan Oktober 2025

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perbedaan prosodi semantis kata kiai dalam pemberitaan pesantren pada media independen dan media keagamaan selama Oktober 2025. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya perhatian publik terhadap pesantren pascaperistiwa ambruknya Ponpes Al-Khoziny di Sidoarjo yang memicu diskursus mengenai tata kelola Lembaga serta otoritas figur kiai di ruang publik. Dalam konteks tersebut, media tidak hanya menyampaikan informasi, tetapi juga membangun representasi melalui pilihan leksikal yang mencerminkan editorial masing-masing. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekakatan kualitatif deskriptif yang dipadukan dengan analisis linguistik korpus berbasis frekuensi, kolokasi, dan konkordansi menggunakan perangkat Sketch Engine. Data diperoleh dari empat media daring, yaitu Tempo.co dan Kompas.com sebagai media independen (157 artikel; 88.004 token; 188 kemunculan kata kiai 1,756.58 PMW), serta Kementerian Agama RI dan NU Online sebagai media keagamaan (119 artikel; 73.796 token; 103 kemunculan kata kiai 1,168.28 PMW). Analisis dilakukan identifikasi kolokat berdasarkan nilai Mutual Information (MI) serta penelusuran konteks kemunculan (KWIC) untuk menentukan kecenderungan prosodi positif, negatif, dan netral. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan adanyan perbedaan dalam konstruksi prosodi semantis. Media keagamaan didominasi prosodi semantis positif sebesar 73% melalui kolokasi seperti, keteladanan, ilmu, dan mengajarkan yang menempatkan kiai sebagai figur pendidik. Sebaliknya, media independen menunjukkan distribusi lebih beragam dengan dominasi prosodi netral sebesar 42% dengan kolokat evaluatif. Temua ini menegaskan bahwa orientasi editorial berpengaruh terhadap representasi kiai dalam wacana media digital serta memperkuat relevansi kajian prosodi semantis dalam analisi media keagamaan.

Patriarki yang Berempati, Perempuan yang Merespons: Asimetri Tutur dalam Lagu-Lagu Duet Rhoma Irama

2026-05-20T09:07:09+08:00

Penelitian ini menganalisis konstruksi gender dan relasi kuasa dalam empat lagu duet Rhoma Irama, yaitu “Mandul” (1974), “Cuma Kamu” (1976), “Malam Terakhir” (1972), dan “Pertemuan” (1995), dengan menggunakan pendekatan Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) model Sara Mills. Kerangka analisis Mills digunakan untuk menelaah posisi subjek-objek, posisi pembaca/pendengar, serta implikasi sosial yang terkandung dalam lirik lagu-lagu tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keempat lagu secara konsisten menempatkan laki-laki sebagai subjek dominan yang mengontrol narasi, sementara perempuan diposisikan sebagai objek pasif yang bergantung pada keputusan dan otoritas laki-laki. Dalam “Mandul”, kemandulan dikonstruksi sebagai beban perempuan dan empati laki-laki berfungsi sebagai bentuk “pengampunan” patriarki. Dalam “Cuma Kamu”, ketergantungan emosional dinormalisasi tanpa memberi ruang bagi suara perempuan. Lagu “Malam Terakhir” menampilkan laki-laki sebagai pengendali momen perpisahan, sedangkan perempuan hanya menerima dan menurut. Dalam “Pertemuan”, meskipun liriknya menggambarkan kerinduan bersama, posisi perempuan tetap pasif dan ditentukan oleh narasi laki-laki. Secara keseluruhan, lagu-lagu duet Rhoma Irama mereproduksi dan memperkuat ideologi patriarki melalui musik dangdut sebagai medium budaya populer yang memiliki jangkauan luas di masyarakat Indonesia.

Relasi Manusia dan Lingkungan dalam Semasa Kecil di Kampung Karya Muhammad Radjab: Ekologi Sastra

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

Literary studies that highlight the relationship between humans and the environment are essential for understanding how ecological values are represented and passed down through literary texts. This study aims to analyze the representation of the relationship between humans and the environment in *Semasa Kecil di Kampung* through the lens of literary ecology. The study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of the text, utilizing the ecocritical framework proposed by Glotfelty, Garrard, and Buell, which views nature as an active element in the construction of meaning. The results of the study indicate that the relationship between humans and the environment is represented through two main categories: cosmic ecology and spatial ecology. Cosmic ecology portrays human life as part of the universe’s cycle, encompassing birth, death, and the interpretation of natural phenomena as a cosmological order imbued with moral and spiritual significance. Meanwhile, spatial ecology portrays the natural environment as a place, dwelling, and wilderness that shapes the characters’ identities, social structures, and inner consciousness through spaces such as valleys, rivers, forests, and hills. This study concludes that the work represents nature not as a passive backdrop, but as an active ecological element that reflects the local wisdom of the Minangkabau people in building a harmonious relationship between humans and the environment.

Kekerasan Seksual Terhadap Perempuan dalam Novel "Perempuan yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam" Karya Dian Purnomo: Kajian Wacana Kritis Sara Mills

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

This study aims to examine the representation of sexual violence against women in Dian Purnomo’s novel *Perempuan yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam* through Sara Mills’ critical discourse analysis approach. The study focuses on the positions of the subject, the object, and the reader in constructing the reality of the sexual violence experienced by the main character, Magi. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques consisting of a literature review. The research data consists of quotations from the novel related to sexual violence, the marginalization of women, and forms of resistance by female characters. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the subject position portrays Magi as a woman who possesses the awareness and courage to reject the practice of forced marriage and to fight for her right to her body and dignity. The object position reveals that Magi experiences marginalization due to the dominance of patriarchal culture, which positions women as powerless over their own lives. The reader’s position is shaped to foster empathy and critical awareness of the victim’s suffering, thereby guiding readers to critique cultural practices that harm women. This study contributes to strengthening the critical feminist discourse analysis framework of Sara Mills and provides insights into the representation of sexual violence and patriarchal culture in contemporary Indonesian literature

Puisi Digital Generasi Z sebagai Praktik Multimodal di Media Sosial: Analisis Linguistik, Afektif, dan Interaksional

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed literary practices, particularly in the way poetry is created and expressed by Generation Z. This study aims to examine the characteristics of digital poetry produced by Generation Z on social media using a multimodal approach. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected from digital poems published on Instagram accounts @ruangtulisande_ and @almaneira. Data were obtained through digital observation and documentation techniques, and analyzed using multimodal analysis focusing on linguistic, visual-typographic, affective, and interactional aspects. The findings reveal that digital poetry demonstrates strong multimodal characteristics through the integration of text, visual presentation, emotional expression, and audience interaction. Linguistically, the poems reflect two dominant tendencies: existential self-reflection and intense interpersonal emotional expression. Visually, the poems adopt flexible and non-conventional structures that contribute to meaning-making. Affectively, they function as powerful media for emotional expression, while interactionally, social media platforms enable direct engagement between authors and audiences. In conclusion, digital poetry represents a transformation of contemporary literature, where meaning is constructed not only through language but also through multimodal elements and social interaction. This study highlights the relevance of multimodal analysis in understanding digital literary practices in the context of Generation Z culture

Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Indonesia dalam Menilai Teks Editorial

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

This study aims to describe the critical thinking skills of students in the Indonesian Language Education Program at Sembilanbelas November University in Kolaka in evaluating editorial texts. The study employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive method. The sample consisted of 16 students from the 2024 Class B cohort, selected through purposive sampling based on academic considerations and relevance to the research objectives. Data collection was conducted using an essay test developed based on six indicators of critical thinking according to Facione, namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. The research instrument was validated through expert judgment and analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of mean scores and percentages. The results of the study indicate that students’ critical thinking skills fall into the moderate category with an average score of 64.58. Based on the category distribution, there were 3 students (19%) in the high category, 8 students (50%) in the moderate category, and 5 students (31%) in the very low category. Regarding the indicators, the highest abilities were in inference (79%) and analysis (78%) in the high category, while interpretation (56%) and explanation (56%) were in the low category. The self-regulation indicator received the lowest score of 50% in the very low category. Practically, this study implies the importance of developing reflection-based learning, argumentative discussions, and problem-based learning to enhance students’ metacognitive abilities. Theoretically, this study reinforces Facione’s concept of critical thinking, which posits that critical thinking skills are not only oriented toward analysis and inference but also require the strengthening of self-regulation as the core of the metacognitive process in the development of students’ critical reasoning.

Representasi Sarkasme dalam Komunikasi Digital: Analisis Pragmatik pada Kolom Komentar TikTok @Chintyamelsan

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

This study aims to identify the forms and analyze the functions of sarcasm in the TikTok comment section of the @Chintyamelsan account using a stylistic and pragmatic approach. The study employs a descriptive-interpretive qualitative method, with data consisting of comments containing sarcasm, collected through non-participant observation and documentation between January and December 2024. The data were analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through the stages of reduction, categorization, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. Theoretically, the analysis draws on Keraf’s stylistics theory, Grice’s conversational implicatures, and Searle’s speech acts. The research findings indicate that sarcasm manifests in the form of insults, mockery, indirect sarcasm, hyperbole, and derogatory comparisons, with a predominance of insults based on physical and social attributes. From a pragmatic perspective, sarcasm operates through violations of the maxims of quality and relevance, thereby generating an implicit meaning of negative evaluation. Furthermore, sarcasm is dominated by expressive speech acts and functions as an indirect directive to convey criticism. These findings indicate that sarcasm in digital communication serves not only as a stylistic device but also as a social strategy to belittle and discredit individuals. This study contributes to the development of linguistic research through the integration of stylistic and pragmatic approaches in the analysis of social media language.

2026-05-20T08:52:31+08:00

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pola frekuensi dan intensitas kalimat tanya dari dua gender yang berbeda, yaitu laki-laki dan perempuan. Kalimat tanya yang diperoleh melalui sumber data branded content berbahasa Jerman yang terdapat pada kanal resmi EDEKA. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan campuran antara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan pendekatan instrumental, yang memanfaatkan PRAAT untuk menganalisis frekuensi fundamental dan intensitas pada suara kedua gender tersebut. Data dipilih melalui purposive sampling berdasarkan adanya kalimat tanya, kejelasan vokal, dan perbedaan gender penutur rekaman video EDEKA. Nilai frekuensi fundamental pada laki-laki umumnya sebesar sekitar 120 Hz dan nilai frekuensi fundamental pada perempuan sebesar sekitar 210 Hz. Pada hasil analisis, terdapat penutur laki-laki memiliki nilai frekuensi dengan rerata di bawah 150 Hz, sedangkan penutur perempuan memperoleh nilai frekuensi fundamental dengan rerata di atas 200 Hz. Meskipun demikian, nilai intensitas rerata antara penutur laki-laki tidak berbeda jauh dengan intensitas penutur perempuan. Dengan hasil tersebut penelitian ini dapat mengindikasikan adanya perbedaan pola linguistik antara kedua gender tersebut. Studi ini memberikan wawasan baru tentang kajian fonetik dalam analisis prosodi khususnya pada pengukuran frekuensi dan intensitas pada kalimat tanya bahasa Jerman dalam konteks branded content berbahasa Jerman.

Representasi Konflik Batin Tokoh Aurelie dalam Memoar Broken Strings: Teori Feminisme Psikoanalisis Keren Horney

2026-05-22T10:27:11+08:00

The inner conflict experienced by women in manipulative relationships is often viewed as an individual problem, yet this experience is closely tied to the dynamics of power and social pressures that shape identity. The memoir, “Broken Strings: Pieces of Broken Youth,” depicts the psychological struggles of a woman who has endured emotional abuse and relational control. This study aims to analyze the representation of the protagonist’s inner conflict using Karen Horney’s feminist psychoanalytic theory, specifically the concepts of basic anxiety, neurotic needs, and the tension between the real self and the ideal self. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data consisting of text excerpts from the memoir were analyzed through close reading, thematic categorization, and interpretation based on Horney’s theoretical framework. The results indicate that the character’s inner conflict stems from basic anxiety formed within an insecure relationship, subsequently developing through neurotic needs as defense strategies (approaching, rejecting, and withdrawing), and culminating in identity fragmentation manifested as self-rebellion, loss of self-autonomy, and feelings of worthlessness due to the gap between the authentic self and the ideal self created by patriarchal pressure. In the final phase, the character demonstrates a process of self-integration that marks a shift toward awareness and autonomy. This study affirms the relevance of Karen Horney’s theory in understanding women’s experiences in contemporary manipulative relationships and expands its application to autobiographical memoirs by illustrating the character’s psychological dynamics from identity fragmentation toward self-integration.

Writing About Oneself in a Restrictive Educational Context: Diaries, Emotional Regulation, and Creative Literacy in Islamic Boarding Schools

2026-05-30T06:53:08+08:00

This study examines diary writing as a private reflective practice among female students in Islamic boarding schools characterized by strong behavioral and communication norms. Previous studies have generally positioned diary writing as either a therapeutic expressive practice or language-learning exercise. Limited attention has been given to how diary writing simultaneously functions as an emotional regulation and reflective literacy practice within highly regulated boarding-school environments. This study aimed to identify patterns of emotional regulation in students’ diary writing and examine how personal diary experiences are transformed into short fictional narratives. Using a case study diary-study design at Bahrul Huda Islamic Boarding School in Pamekasan, Indonesia, 20 female students aged 13–15 years wrote daily diaries over a one-month period. Data were collected through diary documents, perception questionnaires, and short stories developed from selected diary entries. The data were analyzed thematically, descriptively, and through genre-transfer assessment. The findings indicate that diary writing functions as a perceived safe space for emotional expression and reflective self-evaluation. Most participants demonstrated a recurring emotional pattern involving stressful experiences, emotional labelling, cathartic release, reflection, and personal resolution. However, the transfer from reflective diary writing to short-story writing remained limited, as many students produced narrative texts that were weakly connected to their original diary experiences and still dominated by report-like storytelling. This study contributes to understanding how private reflective writing mediates emotional regulation and literacy development within restrictive educational environments and highlights the importance of gradual genre scaffolding in creative writing instruction.

Good Wife, Wise Mother dan Permasalahan Gender di Jepang Modern dalam Novel Subete Mayonaka No Koibitotachi Karya Mieko Kawakami

2026-05-30T07:52:25+08:00

Ideologi Good Wife, Wise Mother (Ryousai Kenbo) yang muncul sejak era Meiji masih beroperasi dalam masyarakat Jepang modern dan membentuk konstruksi gender yang masih ada hingga saat ini. Artikel ini mengkaji tentang penggambaran ideologi tersebut dalam novel Subete Mayonaka no Koibitotachi karya Mieko Kawakami serta bentuk resistensi yang ditampilkan oleh tokoh-tokoh perempuannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori performativitas gender Judith Butler untuk menganalisis bagaimana gender dikonstruksi melalui pengulangan norma sosial. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan data primer berupa dialog dan narasi novel serta data sekunder dari kajian sosial, gender, dan studi Jepang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ideologi Good Wife, Wise Mother masih hadir melalui ekspektasi sosial terhadap perempuan, konstruksi kebahagiaan, relasi gender yang timpang di dunia kerja, dan misogini yang terinternalisasi. Namun, melalui tokoh Fuyuko dan Hijiri, novel ini menampilkan resistensi terhadap konstruksi tersebut melalui penolakan pernikahan, kemandirian ekonomi, dan praktik feminitas di luar standar normatif. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dengan memperkaya kajian sastra Jepang kontemporer melalui pembacaan gender yang menegaskan relevansi ideologi Good Wife, Wise Mother dalam lingkup modern serta menunjukkan sastra sebagai ruang kritik dan negosiasi terhadap norma gender yang hegemonik.
