Euphemisms in Olaf Scholz’s Speech on the Palestinian Tragedy
type: item
description: The humanitarian tragedy that is currently unfolding in Palestine has elicited various diplomatic reactions from world leaders, including German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz. Therefore, conveying information related to this highly sensitive issue requires great caution, especially in terms of word choice. This study was conducted to classify the forms of euphemism and describe their functions in Olaf Scholz’s speech which implicitly discussed the Palestinian tragedy. This study uses qualitative descriptive methodology, using data in the form of words, and sentences from Olaf Scholz’s speech text found on the Bundesregierung website in October 2023. Data analysis in this study is based on euphemism theory according to Schröder (1999) and Luchtenberg in Schröder (1999). The results of this study show that Scholz’s speech contains several instances of euphemism, including metaphor, vage oder mehrdeutige Ausdrücke, Auslassungen/Nulleuphemismen, Verallgemeinerungen, litotes, and Stilistische inkongruenz. In this study, euphemisms with a concealing function (verschleiernd) dominate which is used to describe things as better than they actually are. The use of this function is realized as a form of caution for speakers in their choice of words.

Commissive Speech Acts in Political Discourse of the Merah Putih Cabinet Meeting Video
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the forms and functions of commissive speech acts in political discourse found in live broadcast videos of the Red and White Cabinet Meeting uploaded on YouTube. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research focuses on utterances containing commissive speech acts delivered by meeting participants during the sessions. Data collection was conducted through observation and note-taking, while data analysis applied Charles Morris’s pragmalinguistic model, including data collection, categorization, analysis, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal 20 instances of commissive speech acts, consisting of promises (45%), intentions (25%), offers (10%), and guarantees (20%). Promises and intentions are the most dominant, functioning to provide certainty, demonstrate commitment, reassure, and build public trust. Offer speech acts are used to propose policies, whereas guarantees aim to convince interlocutors and the public about the continuity of government programs. These findings indicate that commissive speech acts play a strategic role in political communication to strengthen legitimacy, commitment, and trust. The study further suggests that the use of commissive speech acts in digital spaces serves as an instrument for public accountability.

Utilization of Spotify Podcasts Based on the RICOSRE Model to Improve Students' Final Report Writing Skills
type: item
description: This study examines the effectiveness of using Spotify podcasts based on the RICOSRE model to improve students’ final report writing skills through a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design involving 89 students. The learning framework followed the RICOSRE stages (Reading, Identifying, Constructing, Solving, Reviewing, Extending) and used the podcast episode “Is AI Making Us Stupid” as authentic input. Data were collected pre- and post-writing tests, documentation of instructional implementation, and student feedback; analyses included assumption testing, reliability and normality checks, and inferential tests (paired t-test and ANOVA) conducted with SPSS 23. The paired test showed a significant difference between scores before and after the intervention (mean difference ≈ -19.84; t = -19.624; p < .01), with a 95% confidence interval that did not cross zero, indicating a consistent change after the intervention. However, between-group ANOVA did not reach significance (F = 1.872; p = .065), indicating variation in effects across participant subgroups. Findings suggest podcast-based instruction structured by RICOSRE can effectively improve overall writing ability, but subgroup-specific effectiveness requires further investigation. Methodologically, integrating authentic audio input with staged cognitive scaffolding offers a replicable intervention framework. Practical recommendations include integrating rubrics and regular feedback, training students to use podcasts as data sources.

Semiotics Study: Visual Analysis of the Wayang Character Rahwana in the Comic by R.A. Kosasih and Ardisoma
type: item
description: Wayang is one of Indonesia's cultural products that has been passed down from generation to generation. Wayang stories, such as the Ramayana epic, are generally performed in the form of wayang kulit (leather puppet theatre) and are popular with the public because they are rich in meaning and moral values. As time has progressed, wayang has not only been presented in the form of performances, but has also been adapted into various media, one of which is comics. This study aims to reveal the representation of the character Rahwana in the Ramayana story adapted into comics and to compare the semiotic approaches in presenting the depth of this character from the perspectives of different comic artists. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic analysis model, which focuses on signs, objects, and interpreters. The data sources are Ramayana adaptation comics from two different comic artists. The results show that each comic artist has a distinctive adaptation style, both visually and conceptually, in describing the character of Rahwana. These differences are evident in the use of symbols, drawing styles, and the highlighting of certain characteristics that form diverse interpretations of the character. Thus, this study confirms that the adaptation process is not neutral but is influenced by the comic artists' creative interpretations. This research is expected to enrich the study of semiotics in visual arts and literature, particularly in the context of modern wayang.

Attitude in Korean Entertainment Industry News Texts on SBS News: An Appraisal Study
type: item
description: This study examines attitude in ten SBS News articles on issues in the Korean entertainment industry using Martin and White’s Appraisal framework. The analysis focuses on the attitude subsystem realized explicitly (inscribed) through evaluative lexis, while engagement and graduation are treated as supporting resources to explain the source of evaluative voices and the intensification or softening of meaning when relevant. The data are analyzed qualitatively through sentence-level coding, complemented by mapping the frequency and distribution of categories across texts to capture broader tendencies. The findings show that evaluation is most strongly realized through judgement, followed by appreciation and affect. In terms of polarity, the attitudes expressed are predominantly negative, particularly within judgement that centres on the propriety of actors’ actions and behaviour. In addition, evaluation is frequently conveyed through quotations or attribution, allowing evaluative meanings to remain salient while being framed as others’ voices and maintaining an appearance of journalistic caution. Overall, the findings indicate that SBS News coverage of issues in the Korean entertainment industry tends to construct evaluation primarily through social assessment of actors and their actions.

Language Acquisition of Deaf Children at SLB Bhina Putera, Surakarta: A Psycholinguistic Analysis
type: item
description: Language acquisition in children with hearing impairment is affected by limited auditory input, which influences their spoken language development. Consequently, deaf children rely more on visual cues, gestures, and situational context in communication. This study aims to describe Indonesian language acquisition in deaf children at SLB Bhina Putera Surakarta by examining four linguistic aspects: phonology, morphology, semantics, and syntax, as well as identifying learning strategies that support communication. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and supported by relevant literature. Data analysis was conducted by classifying findings based on linguistic aspects and interpreting them descriptively. The results show that language acquisition in deaf children is functional and context-dependent. Phonologically, difficulties in producing certain sounds were observed. Morphologically, children mainly used basic word forms with limited variation. Semantically, meaning comprehension relied on visual experience and context. Syntactically, sentence structures often showed word order reversals and did not fully conform to standard Indonesian grammar, yet remained communicative. Visual-based learning strategies that consider individual characteristics were found to support language development in deaf children.

Analysis of Chinese Students' Ability in the BIPA Program in Level B2 Semantic Interpretation through Tests
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the B2-level semantic comprehension abilities of Chinese students in the BIPA program. The focus of the study covers three main aspects, namely contextual meaning comprehension, semantic categorization abilities, and mastery of lexical relations such as synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with structured test instruments (17 questions) and in-depth interviews with participants. The results show that BIPA students at the B2 level are able to understand lexical meaning relations contextually, group words into appropriate semantic categories, and interpret inferential meanings based on clues in the discourse. However, a pattern of errors was also found that mainly originated from interference from the mother tongue (Mandarin) and limited exposure to authentic contextual input. (L1) This reinforces the view that semantic interference from the first language can lead to literal and inaccurate understanding, especially of figurative or idiomatic expressions. (L2) Qualitative data from interviews reinforce the finding that context-based learning strategies and interaction with native speakers play an important role in improving the depth of semantic comprehension. The pedagogical implications of this study emphasize the need to develop more contextual and integrative BIPA teaching materials and strategies in order to reduce semantic interference and support the achievement of higher communicative competence for Mandarin speakers (L1), as also emphasized by Pastini (2025) and Chen (2023) regarding the importance of integrating context and cross-cultural elements in language learning.

Development of Teaching Materials for Writing Poetry on the Theme of Local Wisdom in Blitar for Grade VIII Junior High School/MTs Students
type: item
description: Poetry learning plays an important role in developing creative skills, critical thinking abilities, and instilling cultural values and character. However, observations at MTsN 1 Blitar show that students still have difficulty writing poetry. On the other hand, learning is not yet supported by the use of teaching materials that can stimulate students to create. Therefore, this research and development aims to (1) develop teaching materials for writing poetry with the theme of local wisdom in Blitar for eighth-grade junior high school/MTs students, (2) describe the feasibility test of the teaching materials, and (3) describe the effectiveness test of the developed teaching materials. This research and development was conducted by adapting the ADDIE development model, which consists of four stages, namely analysis, design, development, and implementation. Meanwhile, data analysis was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on the validation results, the feasibility of the teaching materials reached 94%, which means that they are very feasible, while the student response was 93%, which means that they were well received. Meanwhile, the average N-Gain score was 0.80, which means that there was a high increase in learning outcomes after using these teaching materials, and the N-Gain percentage reached 80.38%, which means that the teaching materials are categorized as effective in achieving learning objectives. Thus, it can be said that these teaching materials are very feasible to implement and effective to use in teaching poetry writing in fifth grade.

The Semiotics of Online Loans in the Representation Discourse of Women on Instagram @herstory.co.id
type: item
description: News coverage regarding illegal online loans (Pinjaman Online or Pinjol) targeting women is a frequent topic encountered on the Instagram social media platform. This study discusses the discourse of online loans in the news coverage presented by the Instagram account @herstory.co.id. The research focuses on analyzing: (1) how Instagram @herstory.co.id presents the representation of women within the text, and (2) describing the textual strategies used to feature women in the interpretation of online loans within the media coverage. This is a qualitative study utilizing the Sara Mills Discourse Analysis method. The research subject is the social media account Instagram @herstory.co.id, and the research object is women entangled in online loans. The findings indicate that Instagram @herstory.co.id has not yet prioritized women in its news texts. The news writers at @herstory.co.id tend to position women in the text as objects, and there is a tendency for the author to position themselves from the perspective of the dominant power. The strategy for featuring women in the interpretation of online loans in @herstory.co.id's coverage is executed in three ways: character, focalization, and schemata. Overall, the Instagram social media account @herstory.co.id still largely represents the image of women in accordance with general patriarchal culture.

Representation of Islamic Poetry in Kuntulan Purwakarta: Semiotic Approach
type: item
description: Kuntulan is a traditional performing art that has developed within pesantren communities in Purwakarta, characterized by a unique combination of martial arts, traditional music, and Arabic-language sholawat (Islamic chants). This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on analyzing the sholawat lyrics in Kuntulan using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory and Stuart Hall’s representation theory to explore Islamic values. The study identifies various religious signs and the meanings of Islamic teachings in the context of local culture. The findings reveal that the lyrics convey Islamic values such as love for the Prophet, intercession, and monotheism, and also represent the religious identity of the pesantren community in a performative and emotional way. Furthermore, the analysis shows that these lyrics function as part of an oral tradition that effectively transmits values, shapes moral character, and strengthens collective spirituality in a continuous and aesthetic manner.

Meta-Analysis of Instructional Media to Enhance Writing Skills in Indonesian Language Education
type: item
description: This study aims to comprehensively identify and analyze the effectiveness of various learning media in improving students’ writing skills within Indonesian language instruction. The research method employed is a quantitative descriptive meta-analysis. Data sources were systematically obtained from 15 academic articles on meta-analysis of learning media and writing skills, accessed primarily through Google Scholar. All selected publications met strict criteria, including a focus on the last five years (2020–2025) and SINTA accreditation status. Data collection utilized purposive sampling, selecting articles based strictly on thematic relevance. Data analysis involved calculating percentages to identify media dominance and conducting qualitative narrative reviews to synthesize findings. The recapitulation of findings reveals that digital media is overwhelmingly the most dominant type of media used (73.33% of the total), compared to analog or traditional media (26.67%). Furthermore, studies focusing on the junior high school level are the most frequent (40%). Crucially, the overall average effect size of the learning media use across all studies is 0.88. This high value falls squarely into the large category, thereby indicating a positive and statistically significant influence on enhancing students' writing skills.

Ambiguity of Humor Discourse in Indra Frimawan Content in Comika.id
type: item
description: Ambiguity poses a significant challenge in communication, often causing misinterpretation or confusion in message decoding. The resulting lack of clarity can obstruct effective information transfer, as recipients may derive meanings different from the speaker’s intent. This qualitative descriptive study aims to identify and analyze specific forms of lexical ambiguity and grammatical ambiguity in Indra Frimawan's comedy content on the comika.id platform. The methodology focuses on analyzing humorous discourse related to ambiguity phenomena. The semantic approach is essential, playing a crucial role in the precise understanding and proper use of language through in-depth analysis of semantic meaning. Findings indicate 19 distinct forms of lexical ambiguity and 20 forms of grammatical ambiguity. Grammatical ambiguity is further categorized into 13 instances of temporary ambiguity and 7 instances of permanent ambiguity. This suggests that Indra Frimawan’s signature humorous style, which deliberately employs ambiguous wording, is an effective and unique means of entertaining the audience. It also provides a distinctive comedic blueprint for other stand-up comedians to explore. The study contributes to the understanding of intentional linguistic ambiguity as a source of humor.

Representation of Local Wisdom in the Character of Mahar in the Film Laskar Pelangi: The Context of Arts Education
type: item
description: This study analyzes the representation of local wisdom-based art education through the character Mahar in the film Laskar Pelangi (The Rainbow Troops). Mahar, who shows a strong inclination towards art and traditional music, functions as a vital cultural symbol within the Belitung Malay community. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with an intrinsic approach to explore the implicit cultural representations. Data were gathered via key scene observation, dialogue, and visual elements. Source triangulation and limited member checking ensured data trustworthiness. Findings show that Mahar represents local wisdom primarily through the use of the rebana (traditional frame drum) and the song "Bunga Seroja". The rebana symbolizes the community’s cultural and spiritual identity and strengthens social cohesion. The Malay song "Bunga Seroja" symbolizes the fighting spirit and reinforces camaraderie. This representation asserts that local wisdom-based art education, as embodied by Mahar, offers a solution for strengthening students’ cultural identity against globalization. The study addresses a gap in previous research which focused heavily on the film’s socio-economic aspects, overlooking the local art and cultural values championed by its characters.

Narrator and Modality in Frau Holle's Fairy Tale
type: item
description: The fairy tale Frau Holle by the Brothers Grimm presents a distinctive narrative structure, featuring an omniscient narrator and a strong moral message conveyed both implicitly and explicitly. This study addresses the characteristics of the narrator and the forms of modality used to construct meaning within the text. The research aims to examine the narrator's role in storytelling and to identify the types of modality it contains. A qualitative method is applied, using content analysis on relevant narrative excerpts from the fairy tale.The results indicate that the narrator is heterodiegetic and omniscient, which allows the narrative to be delivered with seeming objectivity while remaining laden with normative judgments. The dominant modalities are deontic (relating to obligation and prohibition) and epistemic (relating to certainty and possibility). These are used strategically to shape the reader's perception of characters, their actions, and the consequences they receive. Moreover, these modalities reinforce moral values such as hard work, obedience, and justice, which form the foundation of the story's ethical message. This study finds that the narrator and modality play a significant role in shaping meaning, moral evaluation, and the educational function of traditional literary texts.

The Representation of Perpetrators and Victims in Sexual Violence Cases: A Transitivity Analysis of Online News Texts
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the forms of transitivity in online news texts reporting rape cases by PPDS doctors at Padjadjaran University. The analysis was conducted using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (LSF) approach, especially on the transitivity system which includes elements of process, participants, and circumstance. Data were obtained from three online news texts that were analyzed qualitatively-descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the most dominant process is the existential process, followed by the material and verbal processes, which show an emphasis on the existence of facts, the actions of the perpetrators, and the delivery of information in the text. The most frequently appearing participant element is existential, followed by actor, goal, and sayer and verbiage, which indicates that the text attempts to convey real events as well as statements from related parties. On the other hand, location circumstance is the most prominent element of information, followed by cause and manner circumstance, which underlines the importance of the context of place and background in the news. Overall, the dominance of the existential process and existential participants reflects the character of news texts that emphasize the existence of events objectively and informatively.

Vygotsky's Constructivist Approach in the Use of the Boardgame Codenames in Extracurricular Art Education
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the application and effectiveness of Codenames board game media that modified in learning fine arts at the extracurricular "Krisna Rupa" at SMAN 1 Situbondo. The method used is descriptive qualitative with the subjects of students and supervising teachers. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analysed using Creswell's approach. The results showed that Codenames was effective in introducing Nusantara fine art terms through word replacement into terms such as batik, wayang, and Asmat sculpture. The game process encouraged students to discuss and understand the cultural context behind the terms used, with the teacher as a facilitator. This application increased students' participation, cooperation, and interest in traditional fine arts. Vygotsky's constructivism approach, particularly in the aspects of ZPD, Scaffolding, and social interaction, was seen to support the learning process. Evaluation through Quizizz showed 84% of students scored above 75, reflecting a good understanding of the material. Thus, the Codenames board game is proven as an innovative, contextual, and fun learning media in improving the understanding of Nusantara fine arts in an extracurricular environment.

Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis: The Moral Identity of the Poor Community in the Short Story Anthology Paron
type: item
description: This study aims to reveal the moral identity of the poor community as represented in two short stories from the anthology Paron by Poerwadhie Atmodihardjo using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. A qualitative method with content analysis was employed, focusing on two short stories entitled Kikis (Fragmen Urip) and Wekasane Krisis. The analysis was based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional model: textual, discursive, and socio-cultural practices. The findings show that the moral identity of the main character reflects internal conflict, indecisiveness, moral deviance such as gambling and corruption, and resignation to social conditions. The production of texts illustrates the author’s background as a Javanese society member who embeds social criticism through the use of metaphors and culturally nuanced diction. Text consumption indicates the potential for reader reflection on the depicted reality. The implication of this study highlights that literary works in regional languages like Javanese short stories (cerkak) can serve as a representative medium to critically explore the crisis of moral identity and the socio-cultural dynamics of the poor community.

Dialectal Variation of Bugis Language in the Speech of Makassar State University Students to Fellow Bugis Speakers
type: item
description: This research aims to identify and describe the variations of the Bugis dialect in the speech of students at Makassar State University (UNM) towards fellow Bugis speakers, as well as to analyze the social factors that influence the use of these dialects. The issue raised stems from the phenomenon of the diversity of Bugis language forms used by students from various regions in South Sulawesi, such as Sidrap, Wajo, Soppeng, Bone, and Sinjai, in daily interactions on campus. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of participatory observation and in-depth interviews with ten native Bugis language speakers. The research results show a striking lexical and phonological variation, both in vocabulary selection and pronunciation. Factors such as regional origin, closeness of social relationships, and formal or informal contexts also influence the choice of dialect used. The findings also indicate the presence of linguistic accommodation strategies, where speakers adjust their dialects to build effective and inclusive communication. This research emphasizes that dialectal variations not only reflect the richness of local linguistics but also serve as symbols of identity and social solidarity in a multicultural campus environment.

The Representation of Mystical Elements in the Character of Teungku Don in the Novel Percikan Darah di Bunga by Arafat Nur: A Mimetic and Expressive Perspective
type: item
description: This study examines mystical elements in Teungku Don’s character in Arafat Nur’s novel Percikan Darah di Bunga, exploring their interplay with Acehnese spirituality, social conflict, and cultural identity. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with mimetic and expressive approaches, primary data were drawn from the novel’s text and supplemented by relevant secondary sources. Data were collected through literature review and document analysis, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s three-stage model (data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing). Findings reveal seven dimensions of mystical representation: (1) an innate spiritual aura; (2) dhikr practices enabling transcendental experiences and soul release; (3) perception of supernatural phenomena; (4) telepathic insight into others’ thoughts and feelings; (5) prophetic visions through dreams; (6) eccentric behavior as a social marker of mysticism; and (7) the limits of mystical power in shaping conflict outcomes. These dimensions not only reflect entrenched spiritual traditions within Acehnese society but also serve as a literary vehicle to probe themes of social tension, identity formation, and the search for meaning amid violence. The study contributes to literary and cultural scholarship by demonstrating how mystical motifs articulate and negotiate socio-cultural dynamics in Aceh.

Anxiety and Love in the Album “Dunia Batas” by Payung Teduh: A Hermeneutical Review
type: item
description: This study explores how anxiety and love intertwine in the lyrics of Payung Teduh’s album Dunia Batas through Schleiermacher’s hermeneutic framework, which fuses grammatical and psychological interpretation. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, six key tracks—“Berdua Saja,” “Menuju Senja,” “Untuk Perempuan yang Sedang di Pelukan,” “Angin Pujaan Hujan,” “Resah,” and “Di Ujung Malam”—were analyzed for their symbolic language, metaphorical imagery, and narrative structure. Grammatical analysis uncovers recurring motifs—the night as a realm of intimacy, roses as emblems of love’s paradoxical beauty and pain, and the branching wind as a metaphor for emotional uncertainty. Psychological analysis delves into the songwriter’s emotional context, revealing an inner tension between the hope for connection and the fear of rejection. Findings demonstrate that Dunia Batas orchestrates a continuous poetic dialogue between longing and unrest, conveyed through its evocative lyrics, gentle melodies, and rich harmonies. By highlighting song lyrics as both artistic expressions and reflections of contemporary social–psychological dynamics, this research advances the study of music hermeneutics in Indonesia.

Ambivalence and Symbolic Dualism in the Character of Kumbakarna in the Wayang Golek Lakon “Kumbakarna Gugur”: A Narrative Analysis
type: item
description: The lakon “Kumbakarna Gugur” in wayang golek highlights the moral ambivalence and symbolic dualism inherent in the character of Kumbakarna. As a warlord of the Alengka kingdom, Kumbakarna faces doubts between his loyalty to his brother Rahwana and his responsibility to the people and his country Alengka. The purpose of this research is to analyze ambivalence and symbolic dualism in Kumbakarna's character using Vladimir Propp's narrative function theory and Claude Lévi-Strauss' binary opposition. The research uses a qualitative method with a narrative analysis approach based on data from the text of the lakon and interviews with dalang wayang golek. The results showed that Kumbakarna's role as donor and villain in the narrative structure reflects a complex conflict of values. Through the binary opposition analysis approach, Kumbakarna is interpreted as a symbolic representation of the combination of virtue and vice that has significant relevance in reflecting leadership values. The moral values contained in this play such as sacrifice and responsibility become an important educational medium for the community. This research provides a new contribution to the study of wayang golek purwa as an art form that is not only entertaining but also rich in philosophical meaning.

Mysticism in the Local Stories ”Ngrandhu” and ”Sendang Mulya” (Niels Mulder’s Mysticism Perspective)
type: item
description: Some local stories in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta represented Javanese mysticism. Two of those local stories namely Ngrandhu and Sendang Mulya were selected to be analyzed in this article. Applying a literary anthropology approach to Niel Mulder’s mysticism, a proposed research question was: ”How is Javanese mysticism represented in Ngrandhu and Sendang Mulya local stories? This article aimed to describe Javanese mysticism reflection in local stories. The data were taken from interview sessions with resourceful people, then those data were analyzed using descriptive techniques and presented qualitatively. Based on the analysis, it was found that Javanese mysticism was reflected through material, spiritual and moral existences in the story. Material existence included the spring, the big kapok tree, offerings and a house, while spiritual existence took form in the process of bathing, preparing the offerings, and chopping down the tree as its rites. Moreover, moral existence appeared in the process of building the house and conserving the spring. Further study about local beliefs such as mysticism in different areas can be conducted more to gain a deeper understanding and broader acceptance of different cultures.

Visualization of the Nyadap Kawung Process in the Hideung Geulis Theater Performance in the Banceuy Traditional Village, Subang
type: item
description: Banceuy Subang Traditional Village is a traditional village that still maintains traditional values passed down from ancestors such as the tradition of the kawung nyadap process or commonly known as sugar palm tapping. In Banceuy, there are still some people who tap kawung trees to take field water and process it into palm sugar. Each process of tapping a kawung tree has an interesting meaning that can be visualized through a theatrical performance. To organize the formation of the visualization of the nyadap kawung process, it is supported by Gustav Freytag's dramatic structure theory which includes five elements, namely exposition, complication, climax, reversal, deoument. This research uses a qualitative approach. In research, a qualitative approach can be taken through observation, interviews and literature studies. The results of this research present a visualization of the process of tapping kawung into theater characters, there are three main figures visualized, namely 1. Hideung Geulis as a kawung tree, 2. Asep as a tapper of kawung trees and 3. Traditional Leader as an elder who perform the nyadap kawung ritual.

A Semantic Analysis of Grammatical Meaning in Bernadya’s Album Sialnya, Hidup Harus Tetap Berjalan
type: item
description: Semantics has various types of meanings contained within it, one of which is grammatical meaning. Grammatical meaning is a meaning that arises due to the processes of affixation (addition of affixes), reduplication (repetition), and composition (compounding). Grammatical meaning in this study is used to analyze the lyrics of songs on Bernadya's latest album titled "Sialnya, Hidup Harus Tetap Berjalan" (Unfortunately, Life Must Go On). The aim is to identify and describe the forms of grammatical meaning in the lyrics of songs that are currently viral, listened to and liked by those who are heartbroken. This research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach with the steps of directly observing and listening to Bernadya's songs, as well as analyzing the text in the lyrics of the album "Sialnya Hidup Harus Tetap Berjalan" which emphasizes in-depth meaning. The results of this study found many forms of grammatical meaning that arise due to the process of affixation, which includes verbs such as suffixes, prefixes, and confixes. Many instances were also found in the reduplication process, although not more than the affixation data, and there is only one instance of grammatical meaning through the process of composition.

The Role of Context in Social Understanding of Autistic Characters: Pragmatic Analysis of the Film “Please Stand By”
type: item
description: This study examines how contextual factors influence the social skills of Wendy, an autistic protagonist in the film Please Stand By. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design and pragmatic analysis grounded in Wilson and Sperber’s Relevance Theory, the research investigates Wendy’s processing of social cues across everyday conversations and unfamiliar environments during travel. Data comprised dialogue transcripts and observations of nonverbal behaviors, analyzed to identify pragmatic barriers: dependence on concrete rules, difficulty inferring implicit meanings, literal interpretation of unexpected changes, and vulnerability to social manipulation. Findings indicate Wendy’s reliance on explicit, structured instructions to navigate social contexts; when cues were ambiguous or implied, she exhibited misunderstandings and heightened emotional responses. Conversely, detailed guidance enabled accurate adaptation in certain scenarios, highlighting the efficacy of targeted communicative interventions. This study enhances understanding of autism by elucidating context-driven communicative challenges and endorses inclusive strategies to foster social participation among individuals with ASD. Ultimately, the research raises awareness of autism’s social dimensions and offers practical insights for practitioners and society.

Language Acquisition in Children Al Hidayah Kindergarten Kuripan Cilacap: A Psycholinguistic Competence Analysis
type: item
description: Language acquisition is one of the essential processes in human development, especially during childhood. This process takes place gradually, starting from age 0 through to adulthood. This study aims to analyze the acquisition of the Indonesian language in children aged 4–5 years at Al Hidayah Kuripan Kindergarten, focusing on four psycholinguistic competencies: semantics, phonology, morphology, and syntax. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that the children at Al Hidayah Kindergarten Kuripan have developed the ability to understand word meanings according to context (semantics), produce language sounds with substitution and simplification processes (phonology), form words using affixation and reduplication (morphology), and construct sentence structures such as declarative, imperative, and interrogative sentences (syntax). However, these abilities are still at a basic level, with limited vocabulary and frequent grammatical errors as well as sound mismatches. Additionally, the results indicate that the influence of the mother tongue (Javanese) is present in several aspects, such as the use of non-standard words and distinctive particles. This research contributes to the understanding of early childhood language development and serves as a reference for parents, teachers, and policymakers in supporting effective language learning.

Analysis of Humorous Speech Patterns in Manglé Magazine's 'Barakatak' Column (A Pragmatic Study)
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the use of humorous speech acts in the Barakatak column of Manglé magazine as a reflection of pragmatic communication within the Sundanese cultural context. Humor in local, regionally-based media plays a vital role in conveying social criticism and preserving the existence of indigenous languages. However, linguistic research on local humor—especially from a pragmatic perspective—remains notably limited. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach. The data consist of humorous texts extracted from the Barakatak column in the September–October editions. Various types of speech acts were identified, including locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Furthermore, each entry was found to contain humor functions such as commissive, impositive, expressive, and assertive functions. Lastly, numerous forms of sociocultural criticism were discovered, illustrating the embodiment of local wisdom in Sundanese culture. The analysis of eleven Barakatak entries revealed key patterns in speech acts, humor functions, and cultural context. These findings indicate that the humor presented in Barakatak serves not merely as entertainment, but also as an effective and nuanced form of cultural communication for articulating social criticism within the Sundanese community.
