Beyond the Context: Exploring the Use of Deixis in Taylor Swift’s Folklore Album

Tesalonika Lamriama Siagian — 2025-10-10

While deixis has long been recognized as a key feature of everyday communication for the way it connects language to its immediate context, there is still little research that looks at how it works in contemporary music. This study was designed to investigate the representation of deixis in Taylor Swift’s Folklore album, drawing on Yule's (1966) categorizations. A total of 1,160 occurrences of deixis were systematically collected and analyzed through a mixed-methods approach. The analysis demonstrated that deixis in Folklore serves as a narrative device that situates stories and emotions within particular times, spaces, and also social relations. Among the three types, personal deixis is the most prominent type, demonstrating the album’s clear orientation toward social interaction. Temporal deixis appears at a moderate level, pointing to an interest in time-related contexts, while spatial deixis is used least often, revealing a smaller emphasis on locational aspects. These distributions further highlight how personal and discourse deixis operate as the central mechanisms for creating coherence and sustaining the contextual grounding of the album’s narratives.

Analisis Wacana Kritis terhadap Penolakan Pembangunan IKN pada Wacana Berita Daring di Indonesia

Rahmah Nur Iffah — 2025-10-10

The study aims to describe the textual, social cognitive, and social contextual dimensions that represent rejection of the development of Ibu Kota Nusantara on the news portals Metrotvnews.com and Viva.co.id in December 2023. This is motivated by the widespread controversy surrounding the development of the new capital city, Ibu Kota Nusantara, among the public. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, applying Teun van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis framework and Halliday's transitivity. The findings reveal that news discourse is constructed through specific topics and schemes related to the Ibu Kota Nusantara issue. Metrotvnews.com explicitly represents rejection by presenting the voices of various parties and aspects of society, thus reflecting a pro-citizen ideology. Meanwhile, Viva.co.id implicitly represents rejection, as it leans towards the dominant parties that support government policies. These differences in representation are closely related to social media cognition and the socio-political context towards the 2024 elections, which influence the production and dissemination of discourse to the public.

Navigating Intercultural Communication: Challenges Faced by International Students

Muhammad Farihul Qulub — 2025-10-10

Cross-cultural communication among international students presents specific strategies and challenges, particularly within the educational domain. The success of communication largely depends on the ability of international students to adapt and develop effective coping mechanisms in the host country. This study aims to investigate the strategies and coping mechanisms employed by international students during their learning experiences in Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving two international student participants. The findings reveal several challenges in cross-cultural communication, mainly cultural differences that influence both verbal and non-verbal interactions. Data analysis was conducted through triangulation by comparing participants’ experiences with previous studies and relevant theories. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges and coping strategies of international students, highlighting aspects that have not been extensively discussed in previous studies. The results are expected to serve as a valuable reference for future international students in navigating cross-cultural differences within Indonesian educational contexts.

Ideologi dan Kesepadanan Penerjemahan Kata Bermuatan Budaya pada Buklet Pariwisata Situs “Wonderfull Indonesia: Yogyakarta”

Annisa Jati Nur Amalia — 2025-10-10

This study aims to identify the ideology underlying the translation of culturally charged words in tourism booklets published by the Wonderful Indonesia website. This study aims to analyze the translation ideology and the equivalence of culturally loaded words found in the tourism brochure of the Wonderful Indonesia official website, specifically the Yogyakarta edition. The objective is to examine how translation strategies—whether domesticating or foreignizing—impact the level of equivalence in conveying cultural meanings, and how these choices reflect the translator's underlying ideological stance in representing Indonesian culture to international audiences. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing text analysis as its method. Data were collected through a literature study and content analysis of tourism booklets available on the Wonderful Indonesia website. The analysis process involved identifying culturally charged words and the ideologies present in the translation, taking into account the cultural context and purpose of communication. The results show that the translation of culturally charged words in tourism booklets serves not only as a communication tool, but also as a means to build a positive image of Indonesia. The underlying ideology of the translation reflects efforts to attract international tourists by emphasising the uniqueness and richness of Indonesian culture. However, there are also challenges in maintaining the authenticity of cultural meanings when translated into foreign languages. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the understanding of the relationship between translation, culture, and ideology in the context of tourism. The findings are particularly relevant for stakeholders in the tourism industry, as they inform the design of effective promotional materials that are sensitive to local cultural values and preferences. Thus, this research is expected to serve as a reference for the development of more inclusive and representative tourism communication strategies.

Kekerabatan Bahasa Lio dan Bahasa Sikka

Cosmas Reynold Radjalewa — 2025-10-10

This article describes and identifies shared innovations, phonemic correspondences, percentage of kinship, type of language classification, and separation time of Lio and Sikka in Flores Island. This study uses a historical-comparative linguistic approach. The data used in this study are 200 basic Swadesh vocabulary in Lio and Sikka obtained through interviews with native speakers of both languages and literature research, particularly studies on Lio and Sikka. Using lexicostatistics and glottochronology techniques, this article shows that Lio and Sikka are related languages as they originated from the same language family. This is proven by 13 shared innovation glosses in Lio and Sikka and the discovery of 101 cognate glosses in Lio and Sikka consisting of 20 identical pairs, 62 phonemically correspondent pairs, 14 one-phoneme-different pairs, and 5 phonetically similar pairs. Based on lexicostatistics and glottochronology computation, the percentage of the relatedness of Lio and Sikka is 51%. These two languages are estimated to have split into distinct languages between 340-600 AD.

Morfosintaksis Konstruksi Verba Bahasa Jawa: Kajian Tipologi

Herpindo Herpindo — 2025-10-10

This research is motivated by the structural form of the Javanese language, particularly its agglutinative morphology, which has the potential to exhibit morphosyntactically dynamic behavior, especially in verb constructions that serve as the core of a constituent. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the phenomenon as it exists in Javanese grammatical construction (Morphosyntactic Verb Construction). Exemplary and Distributional methods are used to analyse the data. The findings in this study show that verb construction in Javanese has the following pattern dynamics; (i) transitive active verb construction with morphological marker prefix {meN} with allomorphs {m-}, {n-}, {ng-}, and {ny-} and passive patterns into {di-}, {di-i}, {kok-}, and {tak-}; (ii) intransitive verb constructions with zero {Ø} morphemes; (iii) anti-passive ergative constructions with {ke-} and {ke-an} morphemes; and (iv) ergative with zero {Ø} constructions. The findings in this study also show that the dynamics of verb construction in Javanese are not limited to one type of grammatical behavior (typology); moreover, ergative typology appears to be a new tendency.
