Penggunaan Bahasa dalam Komunikasi Lintas Budaya di Perbatasan Sulteng-Sulsel: Kajian Sosiolinguistik
Language use in the border region between Central Sulawesi and South Sulawesi is strongly influenced by long-standing social, historical, and mobility-related dynamics within the community. This study aims to analyze patterns of language use in cross-cultural communication among the people of Mayoa Village, covering the domains of family, workplace, and public spaces, as well as to identify the factors that support its sustainability. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive sociolinguistic design. The data consist of spoken utterances from community members of diverse ethnic backgrounds, including Bugis, Bare’e, and Pamona, collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. Data sources include social interactions within families, economic activities in the marketplace, and communication within formal institutions. Data were collected using observation, note-taking, and interview techniques, and analyzed through an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that border communities demonstrate a high and adaptive level of multilingual competence. Indonesian functions as a lingua franca in cross-ethnic communication, particularly in formal contexts such as education, governance, and public interaction due to its neutrality. Meanwhile, local languages such as Bugis, Bare’e, and Pamona remain actively used in family and community domains as symbols of identity, emotional closeness, and social solidarity. The phenomena of code-switching and code-mixing occur intensively in everyday interactions, reflecting speakers’ linguistic flexibility and contextual awareness. The main factors influencing these practices include kinship relations and interethnic marriages, socio-economic mobility, formal education, socio-religious environments, as well as the development of technology and social media. The study implies that linguistic diversity in border areas is not only maintained but also dynamically զարգ berkembang within a balanced language ecology, highlighting the importance of supporting multilingual education policies and the preservation of local languages. Abstrak Penggunaan bahasa di wilayah perbatasan antara Sulawesi Tengah dan Sulawesi Selatan dipengaruhi secara kuat oleh kondisi sosial, historis, dan mobilitas masyarakat yang telah berlangsung lama. Penelitian ini betujuan untuk menganalisis pola penggunaan bahasa dalam komunikasi lintas budaya pada masyarakat Desa Mayoa, meliputi ranah keluarga, tempat kerja, dan ruang publik, serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mendukung keberlangsungannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif sosiolinguistik. Data berupa tuturan lisan masyarakat dari berbagai latar etnis seperti Bugis, Bare’e, dan Pamona, yang diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipatif. Sumber data mencakup interaksi sosial di lingkungan keluarga, aktivitas ekonomi di pasar, serta komunikasi dalam institusi formal. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui teknik simak, catat, dan wawancara, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan model interaktif yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat perbatasan memiliki kompetensi multibahasa yang tinggi dan adaptif. Bahasa Indonesia berfungsi sebagai lingua franca dalam komunikasi lintas etnis, terutama dalam konteks formal seperti pendidikan, pemerintahan, dan interaksi publik karena sifatnya yang netral. Sementara itu, bahasa daerah seperti Bugis, Bare’e, dan Pamona tetap digunakan secara aktif dalam ranah keluarga dan komunitas sebagai simbol identitas, kedekatan emosional, dan solidaritas sosial. Fenomena alih kode dan campur kode terjadi secara intensif dalam interaksi sehari-hari, mencerminkan fleksibilitas linguistik dan kesadaran kontekstual penutur. Faktor-faktor utama yang memengaruhi praktik ini meliputi hubungan kekerabatan dan perkawinan campuran, mobilitas sosial dan ekonomi, pendidikan formal, lingkungan sosial-keagamaan, serta perkembangan teknologi dan media sosial. Implikasi penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberagaman bahasa di wilayah perbatasan tidak hanya bertahan, tetapi juga berkembang secara dinamis dalam suatu ekologi bahasa yang seimbang, sehingga penting untuk didukung melalui kebijakan pendidikan multibahasa dan pelestarian bahasa daerah.
Penggunaan Logika Proposisional dalam Analisis Makna Kalimat: Kajian Interdisipliner Matematika dan Linguistik
Analyzing the meaning of sentences in natural language presents a significant challenge due to its often ambiguous and complex nature. This research addresses this issue by introducing the potential of propositional logic as a formal analytical tool, highlighting the need for an interdisciplinary approach that integrates mathematics and linguistics. The aim of this article is to thoroughly examine the application of propositional logic in sentence meaning analysis, explore the interdisciplinary relationship between these two fields, and identify the strengths and limitations of this approach. The research method employed is a qualitative-analytical literature study, reviewing primary and secondary literature from the fields of logic, linguistics, and philosophy of language through literature documentation for data collection and descriptive-critical content analysis for data analysis. The results indicate that propositional logic can represent the logical structure of sentences and formally analyze truth conditions. Its main advantages lie in the precision and formality it offers, yet limitations exist in handling aspects of quantification, modality, and pragmatics of natural language. The synergy between mathematics and linguistics, particularly through formal semantics and mathematical linguistics, proves to make a significant contribution to enriching sentence meaning analysis in a more comprehensive and profound manner. Abstrak Analisis makna kalimat dalam bahasa alami merupakan tantangan signifikan mengingat sifatnya yang seringkali ambigu dan kompleks. Penelitian ini mengkaji permasalahan tersebut dengan memperkenalkan potensi logika proposisional sebagai alat analisis formal, serta menyoroti kebutuhan akan pendekatan interdisipliner yang mengintegrasikan matematika dan linguistik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji secara mendalam aplikasi logika proposisional dalam analisis makna kalimat, mengeksplorasi hubungan interdisipliner antara kedua bidang ilmu tersebut, serta mengidentifikasi keunggulan dan keterbatasan pendekatan ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka kualitatif-analitis, dengan mengkaji literatur primer dan sekunder dari bidang logika, linguistik, dan filsafat bahasa melalui teknik pengumpulan data dokumentasi kepustakaan dan teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis isi deskriptif-kritis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa logika proposisional mampu merepresentasikan struktur logis kalimat dan menganalisis kondisi kebenaran secara formal. Keunggulan utamanya terletak pada presisi dan formalitas yang ditawarkan, namun terdapat keterbatasan dalam menangani aspek kuantifikasi, modalitas, dan pragmatik bahasa alami. Sinergi antara matematika dan linguistik, khususnya melalui semantik formal dan linguistik matematika, terbukti memberikan kontribusi penting dalam memperkaya analisis makna kalimat secara lebih komprehensif dan mendalam.
The Symbolic Meaning of Malay Proverbs from Sambas, West Kalimantan
Amidst the rapid onslaught of modernisation and globalisation offering popular culture, Sambas Malay proverbs face the challenge of remaining relevant and understandable to the younger generation. Every day, the younger generation is presented with external content that is far removed from their own cultural roots. This phenomenon is truly concerning because it is feared that it will erode local culture. Therefore, it is considered necessary to conduct in-depth studies on the oral traditions of the community, including proverbs, especially in uncovering the layers of symbolic meaning contained within proverbs. This study aims to describe the symbols and meanings of Sambas Malay proverbs from West Kalimantan. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a semiotic approach.

Membaca Ulang Ande-Ande Lumut: Folklor sebagai Identitas Kolektif dan Kontrol Sosial
This study aims to dissect the sociological and psychological dimensions of the Ande-Ande Lumut folktale through a compilation of William R. Bascom's functionalism theory and Alan Dundes's psychoanalytic expression theory. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a library study approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation of Ande-Ande Lumut narrative texts from various written sources. Data analysis techniques used content analysis methods that integrate narrative units into Bascom's four folklore functions and symbolic identification based on Dundes's mental image theory. The results of the study indicate that the Ande-Ande Lumut narrative operates as an effective instrument of social control in upholding norms of loyalty and traditional morality in Javanese society. Psychoanalytically, the characters of Klenting Kuning and Yuyu Kangkang are found to be forms of collective identity projection that express the tension between inner desires and social boundaries (ego and superego). This study concludes that Ande-Ande Lumut is not merely entertainment, but a cultural mechanism that maintains social stability while also serving as a channel for sublimation for the psychological aspirations of its community. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membedah dimensi sosiologis dan psikologis cerita rakyat Ande-Ande Lumut melalui kompilasi teori fungsionalisme William R. Bascom dan teori ekspresi psikoanalitik Alan Dundes. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui dokumentasi teks narasi Ande-Ande Lumut dari berbagai sumber tertulis. Teknik analisis data menggunakan metode analisis isi yang mengintegrasikan unit-unit naratif ke dalam empat fungsi folklor Bascom dan identifikasi simbolis berdasarkan teori citra mental Dundes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa narasi Ande-Ande Lumut beroperasi sebagai instrumen kontrol sosial yang efektif dalam menegakkan norma kesetiaan dan moralitas tradisional di masyarakat Jawa. Secara psikoanalitik, tokoh Klenting Kuning dan Yuyu Kangkang ditemukan sebagai bentuk proyeksi identitas kolektif yang mengekspresikan ketegangan antara hasrat batiniah dengan batasan sosial (ego dan superego). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Ande-Ande Lumut bukan sekadar hiburan, melainkan sebuah mekanisme budaya yang menjaga stabilitas sosial sekaligus menjadi saluran sublimasi bagi aspirasi psikologis masyarakat pemiliknya.

Politeness, Power, and Identity in Podcast Discourse: an Emic Discursive Pragmatic Analysis of Digital Talk
Podcast communication has evolved into a significant site of digital public discourse, where norms of politeness are no longer fixed but are continuously negotiated and redefined within dynamic interactions. This study aims to analyze politeness practices in podcast discourse by examining how politeness is constructed, interpreted, and negotiated in relation to power relations and identity formation among speakers. This research employs a qualitative design using an integrative discursive pragmatic approach grounded in an emic–epistemological perspective. The data consist of utterances from naturally occurring podcast interactions. The data sources are selected podcast episodes featuring interactions between hosts and guests. Data were collected through observation methods, employing recording and note-taking techniques. Data analysis was conducted using discursive pragmatic analysis, involving data reduction, categorization of politeness strategies, interpretation of interactional and sociocultural contexts, and meaning-making based on participants’ emic perspectives. The findings reveal that politeness in podcast discourse functions not only to maintain interpersonal harmony but also to assert authority, expertise, and social identity. Speakers with higher symbolic power tend to control interactional norms, while less dominant participants adjust their politeness strategies accordingly. Furthermore, discrepancies between actual politeness practices and conventional theoretical models indicate that politeness is highly contextual and dynamic within digital environments. The implications of this study highlight the need to develop more context-sensitive and adaptive politeness theories in digitally mediated communication, particularly within discursive pragmatics. This research also contributes to fostering more inclusive communication practices and opens avenues for further studies across diverse podcast genres, marginalized speaker groups, and cross-cultural contexts. Abstrak Komunikasi podcast telah berkembang menjadi ruang penting dalam wacana publik digital, di mana norma kesantunan tidak lagi bersifat tetap, melainkan dinegosiasikan dan didefinisikan ulang dalam interaksi yang dinamis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik kesantunan dalam wacana podcast dengan menyoroti bagaimana kesantunan dikonstruksi, ditafsirkan, dan dinegosiasikan dalam kaitannya dengan relasi kekuasaan dan pembentukan identitas penutur. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan pragmatik diskursif integratif berbasis perspektif emik–epistemologis. Data penelitian berupa tuturan dalam interaksi podcast yang diperoleh dari rekaman podcast autentik (naturally occurring data). Sumber data berasal dari beberapa episode podcast yang memuat interaksi antara host dan narasumber. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui metode simak dengan teknik rekam dan catat. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis pragmatik diskursif, dengan tahapan reduksi data, kategorisasi strategi kesantunan, interpretasi konteks interaksional dan sosiokultural, serta penafsiran makna berdasarkan perspektif emik partisipan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesantunan dalam wacana podcast tidak hanya berfungsi menjaga keharmonisan interpersonal, tetapi juga menjadi sarana untuk menegaskan otoritas, keahlian, dan identitas sosial. Penutur dengan kekuasaan simbolik lebih tinggi cenderung mengontrol norma interaksi, sedangkan partisipan yang kurang dominan menyesuaikan strategi kesantunannya. Selain itu, ditemukan adanya perbedaan antara praktik kesantunan aktual dengan model teoretis konvensional, yang menunjukkan bahwa kesantunan bersifat kontekstual dan dinamis dalam ruang digital. Implikasi penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya pengembangan teori kesantunan yang lebih kontekstual dan adaptif terhadap media digital, khususnya dalam kajian pragmatik diskursif. Penelitian ini juga memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan praktik komunikasi yang lebih inklusif serta membuka peluang penelitian lanjutan pada berbagai genre podcast, kelompok marjinal, dan konteks lintas budaya.
Perspektif Masyarakat terhadap Tradisi Manten Kopi sebagai Representasi Budaya: Studi Etnobotani
The coffee manten tradition is a form of local wisdom full of philosophical values, which is still preserved by the people of Modangan Village, Blitar Regency. The main problem in this research stems from the importance of exploring people's meaning of these traditions, more than just a physical inventory of ritual plants. The aim of this research is to describe the community's perspective on the coffee manten tradition and analyze the cultural representation of the accompanying ethnobotanical elements. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data collection was carried out comprehensively through triangulation techniques in the form of field observations, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The results of the research show that the coffee manten tradition is seen not just as an agricultural ritual for welcoming the harvest, but as a social construction and cultural identity that binds society. The use of various types of plants as ubarampe is not only understood functionally, but is a symbolic medium that represents hope, unity and blessings for the people of Modangan Village. As a novelty, this study confirms that an ethnobotanical approach is essential not only for recording plant taxonomy, but is crucial for uncovering spiritual relationships and the construction of people's cultural identity in interpreting plants in their environment. Abstrak Tradisi Manten Kopi merupakan wujud kearifan lokal yang sarat nilai filosofis, yang hingga kini dilestarikan oleh masyarakat Desa Modangan, Kabupaten Blitar. Permasalahan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah pentingnya menggali pemaknaan masyarakat terhadap tradisi tersebut, lebih dari sekadar inventarisasi fisik tumbuhan ritual. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan perspektif masyarakat terhadap Tradisi Manten Kopi dan menganalisis representasi budaya dari unsur-unsur etnobotani penyertanya. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, pengumpulan data dilakukan secara komprehensif melalui teknik triangulasi berupa observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Tradisi Manten Kopi dipandang bukan sebatas ritual agraris penyambutan panen, melainkan sebagai konstruksi sosial dan identitas budaya yang mengikat masyarakat. Pemanfaatan berbagai jenis tumbuhan sebagai ubarampe tidak hanya dipahami secara fungsional, tetapi menjadi medium simbolik yang merepresentasikan harapan, persatuan, dan keberkahan bagi masyarakat Desa Modangan. Sebagai kebaruan, studi ini menegaskan bahwa pendekatan etnobotani sangat esensial bukan hanya untuk mendata taksonomi tumbuhan, tetapi krusial untuk mengungkap relasi spiritual dan konstruksi identitas budaya masyarakat dalam memaknai tanaman di lingkungannya.
Linguistic Capital and Symbolic Violence: A Phenomenological Analysis of Foreign Nationals in Indonesian Housing
Foreign nationals residing in Indonesian local housing face structural linguistic disadvantages that existing second language acquisition literature has largely overlooked, particularly in non-institutional everyday settings. This study aims to analyze how linguistic capital and symbolic violence operate in shaping the identity reconstruction of foreign nationals within an Indonesian residential context. This research employs a critical phenomenological approach integrating Bourdieu’s linguistic capital theory with Schutz’s social phenomenology. Data were drawn from semi-structured in-depth interviews (60–90 minutes) with six foreign nationals residing at Easton Park Apartment, Jatinangor, representing diverse linguistic backgrounds (Kenya, China, Pakistan, England, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh), as well as the apartment manager. Data were collected through purposive and maximum variation sampling, then analyzed through phenomenological reduction combined with critical discourse analysis. Findings reveal that linguistic identity awareness emerges through systematic communicative breakdown across phonological, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic dimensions. Foreign nationals deploy four adaptive strategies: technological mediation, gestural compensation, practical mimesis, and code-switching. These strategies, how-ever, operate within asymmetrical power relations that produce symbolic violence through the systematic misrecognition of non-native competence—a condition this study terms “linguistic precarity.” Identity reconstruction unfolds across four temporal phases, from existential disorientation to hybrid linguistic integration, yet competence remains situationally fragile. Critically, the study exposes institutional linguistic violence through the complete absence of linguistic support structures at the residential level, forcing individualized adaptation without systemic scaffolding. These findings carry significant implications for housing policy, institutional linguistic justice, and critical language pedagogy, calling for multilingual support systems that recognize linguistic diversity as a communal resource rather than an individual deficiency. Abstrak Warga negara asing yang tinggal di hunian lokal Indonesia menghadapi ketimpangan linguistik struktural yang selama ini kurang mendapat perhatian dalam literatur pemerolehan bahasa kedua, khususnya dalam konteks keseharian di luar institusi formal. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana modal linguistik dan kekerasan simbolik beroperasi dalam membentuk rekonstruksi identitas warga negara asing di lingkungan hunian Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi kritis yang mengintegrasikan teori modal linguistik Bourdieu dengan fenomenologi sosial Schutz. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur (60–90 menit) dengan enam warga negara asing yang bermukim di Easton Park Apartment, Jatinangor, yang mewakili latar belakang linguistik beragam (Kenya, Cina, Pakistan, Inggris, Ethiopia, dan Bangladesh), serta pengelola apartemen. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui purposive sampling dengan variasi maksimum, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan reduksi fenomenologis yang dipadukan dengan analisis wacana kritis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran identitas linguistik muncul melalui kegagalan komunikatif sistematis yang meliputi dimensi fonologis, morfosintaktis, dan pragmatis. Warga asing menerapkan empat strategi adaptif: mediasi teknologi, kompensasi gestural, mimesis praktis, dan alih kode. Namun, strategi-strategi ini beroperasi dalam relasi kuasa yang asimetris dan melahirkan kekerasan simbolik melalui salah pengakuan (misrecognition) kompetensi non-penutur asli—kondisi yang dalam penelitian ini disebut sebagai “prekaritas linguistik.” Rekonstruksi identitas berlangsung melalui empat fase temporal, dari disorientasi eksistensial hingga integrasi linguistik hibrida, namun kompetensi yang dicapai tetap bersifat situasional dan rentan. Secara kritis, penelitian ini mengungkap kekerasan linguistik institusional melalui ketiadaan total dukungan linguistik di tingkat hunian, yang memaksa warga asing menjalani adaptasi secara individual tanpa dukungan terstruktur. Temuan ini memiliki implikasi signifikan bagi kebijakan perumahan, keadilan linguistik institusional, dan pedagogi bahasa kritis, dengan mendesak penerapan sistem dukungan multibahasa yang mengakui keragaman linguistik sebagai sumber daya kolektif, bukan beban yang harus ditanggung sendiri oleh individu.
Makna Semantik dalam Mantra dan Doa Laut Nelayan Bajau di Pulau Maratua
This study aims to analyze the semantic meanings embedded in the sea mantras and prayers of the Bajau community on Maratua Island, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, and to reveal their ethnolinguistic implications for the belief system and worldview of the Bajau maritime society. This research employed a qualitative approach with an ethnolinguistic design. The data, consisting of sea mantras and prayer utterances, were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, focusing on the identification of semantic fields, the analysis of lexical, connotative, and symbolic meanings, as well as the interpretation of metaphors and natural symbolism from semantic and ethnolinguistic perspectives. The findings reveal five major semantic fields, namely sea and nature, religiosity/Islam, safety, livelihood, and kinship. The Bajau ritual language contains complex layers of meaning through the use of metaphors and natural symbolism, such as the sea as an ancestor, the boat as a home, and water as a symbol of life and blessing. The study also shows a syncretism between Islamic teachings and local traditions in Bajau ritual practices. From an ethnolinguistic perspective, the mantras and sea prayers represent the Bajau cosmology that positions the sea as the center of life, a source of livelihood, a spiritual space, and a symbolic kinship entity that must be respected. This study confirms that ritual language functions not only as a medium of spiritual communication, but also as a representation of cultural identity, value systems, and the ecological relations of maritime communities. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis makna semantik dalam mantra dan doa laut masyarakat Bajau di Pulau Maratua, Kabupaten Berau, Kalimantan Timur, serta mengungkap implikasi etnolinguistiknya terhadap sistem kepercayaan dan pandangan dunia masyarakat maritim Bajau. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain etnolinguistik. Data berupa tuturan mantra dan doa laut dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan secara interaktif melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan fokus pada identifikasi medan makna, analisis makna leksikal, konotatif, dan simbolik, serta interpretasi metafora dan simbolisme alam berdasarkan perspektif semantik dan etnolinguistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya lima medan makna utama, yaitu laut dan alam, religius/Islam, keselamatan, rezeki, dan kekerabatan. Bahasa ritual Bajau mengandung lapisan makna yang kompleks melalui penggunaan metafora dan simbolisme alam, seperti laut sebagai leluhur, perahu sebagai rumah, dan air sebagai simbol kehidupan serta keberkahan. Temuan penelitian juga menunjukkan adanya sinkretisme antara ajaran Islam dan tradisi lokal dalam praktik ritual masyarakat Bajau. Secara etnolinguistik, mantra dan doa laut merepresentasikan kosmologi masyarakat Bajau yang menempatkan laut sebagai pusat kehidupan, sumber rezeki, ruang spiritual, dan kerabat simbolik yang harus dihormati. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa bahasa ritual tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai media komunikasi spiritual, tetapi juga sebagai representasi identitas budaya, sistem nilai, dan relasi ekologis masyarakat maritim.
Developing Students’ Literacy and Communication Skills: A Fundamental Need for Enhancing Career Readiness
Effective communication is a core competency required for university students to achieve academic success and workplace readiness. This study aims to examine students’ perceptions of the importance of communication skills, the frequency with which they are applied in real academic contexts, and the priority dimensions of speaking skills considered essential. A qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through open-ended and structured questionnaires administered to 54 respondents from diverse study programs. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The analysis process included coding responses, categorizing emerging patterns, and synthesizing themes interpretively to ensure analytical rigor and trustworthiness. The findings indicate that although students demonstrate a high level of awareness regarding the importance of communication, the frequency of its application in daily academic activities remains relatively low. Moreover, communication skills were found to contribute to students’ confidence, critical thinking, and writing abilities, reinforcing their role as integral components of academic literacy. The study recommends that higher education institutions integrate communication skills into the curriculum to foster functional literacy and enhance students’ career readiness in a comprehensive and holistic manner. Abstrak Komunikasi yang efektif merupakan kompetensi inti yang diperlukan mahasiswa untuk mencapai keberhasilan akademik dan kesiapan memasuki dunia kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji persepsi mahasiswa terhadap pentingnya keterampilan komunikasi, frekuensi penerapannya dalam konteks akademik nyata, serta dimensi prioritas keterampilan berbicara yang dianggap esensial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui kuesioner terbuka dan terstruktur yang diberikan kepada 54 responden dari berbagai program studi. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik mengacu pada Miles, Huberman, and Saldana yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Proses analisis mencakup pengodean data, pengelompokan pola yang muncul, serta sintesis tema secara interpretatif untuk menjamin ketelitian analitis dan keabsahan temuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun mahasiswa memiliki tingkat kesadaran yang tinggi terhadap pentingnya komunikasi, frekuensi penerapannya dalam aktivitas akademik sehari-hari masih tergolong rendah. Selain itu, keterampilan komunikasi terbukti berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan kepercayaan diri, kemampuan berpikir kritis, dan keterampilan menulis mahasiswa sehingga menegaskan perannya sebagai komponen integral dalam literasi akademik. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar institusi pendidikan tinggi mengintegrasikan keterampilan komunikasi ke dalam kurikulum guna mengembangkan literasi fungsional serta meningkatkan kesiapan karier mahasiswa secara komprehensif dan holistik.
Otonomi Perempuan dalam Mencapai Aktualisasi Diri Pada Novel Home Sweet Loan Karya Almira Bastari
This research aims to examine the manifestations of women’s autonomy and their relationship to the process of self-actualization as represented in the novel Home Sweet Loan by Almira Bastari. The study employs the perspectives of feminist psychology as articulated by Jean Baker Miller and the theory of self-actualization proposed by Abraham Maslow, utilizing a qualitative descriptive method. The primary data source is the 309-page novel Home Sweet Loan. Data were collected through close reading, note-taking, and documentation techniques, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. Data validity was ensured through semantic validity and intrarater reliability. The findings indicate that women’s autonomy in the novel is reflected in several dimensions: (1) financial autonomy, encompassing the ability to manage personal finances, plan long-term financial goals, and obtain employment and income; (2) relational autonomy, characterized by the awareness to choose and determine an equal partner and to cultivate healthy friendships; (3) decision-making autonomy, including making independent life choices, deciding to own a house, and determining educational paths; (4) emotional autonomy, defined as the capacity to regulate anger and forgive others’ mistakes; and (5) autonomy in resisting discrimination within the family sphere and challenging gender stereotypes imposed upon women. Accordingly, this study concludes that autonomy functions as a key factor enabling urban women to attain holistic self-actualization. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami wujud otonomi perempuan serta keterkaitannya dengan proses aktualisasi diri tokoh dalam novel Home Sweet Loan karya Almira Bastari. Kajian ini menggunakan perspektif psikologi feminis Jean B. Miller dan teori aktualisasi diri Abraham Maslow dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Sumber data penelitian adalah novel Home Sweet Loan karya Almira Bastari yang terdiri atas 309 halaman. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik baca, catat, dan dokumentasi kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model analisis Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan atau verifikasi. Keabsahan data dijamin melalui validitas semantis dan reliabilitas intrater. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa otonomi perempuan dalam novel tercermin dalam beberapa aspek: (1) otonomi finansial, berupa kemampuan mengelola keuangan pribadi, kemampuan merencanakan finansial jangka panjang, dan kemampuan memperoleh pekerjaan dan penghasilan; (2) otonomi relasional, ditandai dengan kesadaran untuk memilih dan menentukan pasangan yang setara serta menjalin hubungan persahabatan yang sehat; (3) otonomi pengambilan keputusan, mencakup membuat keputusan hidup secara mandiri, keputusan memiliki rumah sendiri, dan menentukan pendidikan; (4) otonomi pengelolaan emosi, yaitu kemampuan mengendalikan amarah dan memaafkan kesalahan orang lain; serta (5) otonomi perlawanan terhadap diskriminasi dalam lingkungan keluarga dan melawan stereotip gender terhadap perempuan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa otonomi merupakan faktor kunci bagi perempuan urban untuk mencapai aktualisasi diri secara utuh.
Relasi Manusia dan Alam dalam Puisi-Puisi Senja Jingga di Bentala Timah: Kajian Ekologi Sastra
This study aims to describe and analyze the representation of human–nature relationships in the poetry anthology Senja Jingga di Bentala Timah by Heri Suheri using Greg Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. The data source was the poetry anthology Senja Jingga di Bentala Timah, while the research data consisted of lines and stanzas representing human–nature relationships. Five poems were purposively selected based on the intensity of their ecological elements. The data were collected through literature study and analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on Greg Garrard’s ecocritical framework. The findings show that human–nature relationships are represented in complex and layered forms, including historical-exploitative, ethical-reflective, harmonious, socio-cultural, and spiritual relationships.

Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa puisi-puisi dalam antologi tersebut berperan penting dalam membangun imajinasi ekologis dan kesadaran ekologis pembaca.
This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of banality in Makassar kelong, namely the tendency of degradation of meaning due to commercialization, use outside its original cultural context, and the influence of digital media in its distribution. The research method used is a qualitative approach. This research was conducted from May to December 2025. The data sources for this study consist of primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques used are literature study, documentation, observation, data transcription, and data classification. Meanwhile, data analysis is carried out using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, then the final stage is data validity. The results of the study show that banality in Makassar kelong occurs in several forms, such as simplification of meaning, adaptation that eliminates philosophical values, and dissemination through social media that tends to prioritize entertainment aspects over cultural substance. This phenomenon shows that kelong is no longer only part of a sacred oral tradition, but has also undergone a transformation into a pragmatic popular cultural product. This study provides a theoretical contribution to the field of oral literature by combining semiotics and banality. These findings serve as a reflection to preserve kelong so that it does not lose its depth of meaning in more modern cultural flows. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena banalitas dalam kelong Makassar, yaitu kecenderungan degradasi makna akibat komersialisasi, penggunaan di luar konteks budaya aslinya, serta pengaruh media digital dalam persebarannya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam rentang waktu Mei hingga Desember 2025. Sumber data penelitian ini terdari dari data primer dan sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka, dokumentasi, observasi, transkripsi data, dan klasifikasi data,. Sementara itu, analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penariksan kesimpulan, kemudian tahap akhir adalah keabsahan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa banalitas dalam kelong Makassar terjadi dalam beberapa bentuk, seperti simplifikasi makna, adaptasi yang menghilangkan nilai filosofis, serta penyebaran melalui media sosial yang cenderung mengutamakan aspek hiburan dibandingkan substansi budaya Fenomena ini menunjukkan bahwa kelong tidak lagi hanya menjadi bagian dari tradisi lisan yang sakral, tetapi juga mengalami transformasi menjadi produk budaya populer yang bersifat pragmatis. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis dalam bidang sastra lisan dengan memadukan semiotika dan banalitas. Hasil temuan ini berfungsi sebagai refleksi untuk melestarikan kelong agar tidak kehilangan kedalaman maknanya dalam arus budaya yang lebih modern.
Reproduksi Patriarki dan Resistensi Perempuan dalam Konteks Sosial Novel Gadis Kretek Karya Ratih Kumala
This study is about the reproduction of patriarchy and women's resistance in the social context dimension of the novel Gadis Kretek by Ratih Kumala using the Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) approach of Teun A. Van Dijk. The aim of the research is to uncover how patriarchal discourse is reproduced and how women's resistance is constructed through the structure of the social context that underlies the text. The method used is qualitative with a critical discourse analysis approach. The data source is in the form of the discourse of the novel Gadis Kretek, with data in the form of discourse that contains patriarchy and women's resistance. The results show that patriarchal reproduction in the novel operates through four mechanisms: (1) dominant ideologies protected by colonial class hierarchies, (2) stigmatization of independent women in the social order, (3) patrilineal hegemony that is naturalized through everyday practice, and (4) systemic marginalization through subtle neglect. Meanwhile, women's resistance exists through two paradoxical paths: patriarchal capitalism in the kretek industry that opens up private access to the public economic space, and the historicity of the kretek industry that provides a collective precedent for women's leadership. Abstrak Studi ini mengenai reproduksi patriarki dan resistensi perempuan dalam dimensi konteks sosial novel Gadis Kretek karya Ratih Kumala menggunakan pendekatan Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) Teun A. Van Dijk. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengungkap wacana patriarki direproduksi dan bagaimana resistensi perempuan dikonstruksi melalui struktur konteks sosial yang melatarbelakangi teks. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis. Sumber data berupa wacana novel Gadis Kretek, dengan data berupa penggalan wacana yang memuat patriarki dan resistensi perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa reproduksi patriarki dalam novel beroperasi melalui empat mekanisme: (1) ideologi dominan yang dilindungi hierarki kelas kolonial, (2) stigmatisasi perempuan mandiri dalam tatanan sosial, (3) hegemoni patrilineal yang dinaturalisasi melalui praktik keseharian, dan (4) marginalisasi sistemik melalui pengabaian halus. Sementara itu, resistensi perempuan hadir melalui dua jalur paradoks: kapitalisme patriarkal dalam industri kretek yang membuka akses perempuan ke ruang ekonomi publik, dan historisitas industri kretek yang menyediakan preseden kolektif bagi kepemimpinan perempuan.
Pengaruh Gender terhadap Kesiapan Guru Prajabatan dalam Implementasi Pembelajaran Sastra pada Kurikulum Sekolah Menengah: Studi Deskriptif Komparatif
The literary policy in the curriculum launched by the Ministry of Education in 2024 raises the question of whether pre-service teachers are ready to implement the policy. This study aims to explore the influence of gender on the readiness of Indonesian Language Pre-service Teacher Professional Education (PPG) students at the University of Islam Malang, class of 2024, in implementing literary learning in the secondary school curriculum. This study employed a descriptive-comparative survey design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering seven readiness indicators and analyzed using descriptive-comparative analysis based on frequency and proportion. This approach was chosen to map the response patterns in depth to a specific target group without generalizing the population broadly. The results indicated differences in responses between male and female students regarding the “Literature in the Curriculum” policy, particularly in terms of policy knowledge, information sources, and implementation readiness. Male students tended to have more consistent information exposure, while female students showed wider internal variation. Nonetheless, most respondents from both groups felt the need for additional training and resources. Further research is recommended to design more targeted training and provide comprehensive literary materials to narrow the gap in understanding and readiness between female and male teachers in implementing the Literature-in-the-Curriculum program. Abstrak Kebijakan sastra masuk kurikulum yang diluncurkan Kementerian Pendidikan pada tahun 2024 menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah guru prajabatan siap menerapkan kebijakan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi pengaruh gender terhadap kesiapan mahasiswa Program Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG) Prajabatan Bahasa Indonesia Universitas Islam Malang angkatan 2024 dalam mengimplementasikan pembelajaran sastra pada kurikulum sekolah menengah. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan survei deskriptif-komparatif dengan pendekatan potong lintang (cross-sectional). Pendekatan ini dipilih untuk memetakan pola respons secara mendalam pada kelompok sasaran tertentu tanpa melakukan generalisasi populasi secara luas. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang mencakup tujuh indikator kesiapan dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif-komparatif berbasis frekuensi dan proporsi. Temuan penelitian mengindikasikan terdapat perbedaan respons antara mahasiswa laki-laki dan perempuan terhadap kebijakan “Sastra masuk kurikulum”, terutama dalam aspek pengetahuan kebijakan, sumber informasi, dan kesiapan implementasi. Mahasiswa laki-laki cenderung memiliki keterpaparan informasi yang lebih konsisten dibandingkan mahasiswa perempuan yang memperlihatkan variasi internal lebih lebar. Meskipun demikian, mayoritas responden dari kedua kelompok merasa memerlukan pelatihan dan sumber daya tambahan. Penelitian lanjutan direkomendasikan untuk merancang pelatihan yang lebih tepat sasaran dan menyediakan materi sastra yang komprehensif guna mempersempit kesenjangan pemahaman dan kesiapan guru perempuan dan laki-laki dalam melaksanakan program sastra masuk kurikulum.
Analisis Semantik dalam Proses Penerjemahan Teks Naratif Bahasa Makassar ke Bahasa Indonesia Menggunakan Kecerdasan Buatan
The use of artificial intelligence in regional language translation is increasing, but still leaves a fundamental problem whether the system's ability to capture the equivalence of meaning, semantic nuances, and cultural values inherent in the source language, especially Makassarese, therefore this study aims to identify forms of semantic equivalence, describe semantic shifts, and identify comparative forms of translation that are appropriate to the semantic context of Indonesian and the results of artificial intelligence translations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method. The findings show that artificial intelligence translation produces two forms of semantic equivalence, namely formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence, dominated by formal equivalence in morpheme units, words, phrases, and clauses that maintain the structure and lexical meaning of the source language. Dynamic equivalence is found in text segments that emphasize the acceptability of meaning and communicative function in the target language. In addition, semantic shifts are found in the form of level shifts and category shifts that include changes in structure, word classes, and linguistic units. This shift reflects an adaptation of the linguistic system, not a distortion of meaning. The comparison results indicate that Gemini's translation generally has a high level of semantic accuracy and is able to represent the cultural values of the Makassar language, although a small number of semantic inconsistencies were still found. Abstrak Pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan dalam penerjemahan bahasa daerah semakin meningkat, namun masih menyisakan permasalahan mendasar apakah kemampuan sistem bisa menangkap kesepadanan makna, nuansa semantik, dan nilai budaya yang melekat pada bahasa sumber, khususnya bahasa Makassar, oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk kesepadanan semantik, menguraikan pergeseran semantik, dan mengidentifikasi perbandingan bentuk penerjemahan yang sesuai dengan konteks semantik bahasa Indonesia dan hasil terjemahan kecerdasan buatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode analisis isi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa, penerjemahan kecerdasan buatan menghasilkan dua bentuk kesepadanan semantik, yaitu kesepadanan formal dan kesepadanan dinamis, didominasi kesepadanan formal pada unit morfem, kata, frasa, dan klausa yang mempertahankan struktur serta makna leksikal bahasa sumber. Kesepadanan dinamis ditemukan pada segmen teks yang menekankan keberterimaan makna dan fungsi komunikatif dalam bahasa sasaran. Selain itu, ditemukan pergeseran semantik berupa pergeseran tataran dan pergeseran kategori yang mencakup perubahan struktur, kelas kata, dan unit linguistik. Pergeseran tersebut mencerminkan adaptasi sistem kebahasaan, bukan distorsi makna. Hasil perbandingan menunjukkan bahwa terjemahan Gemini secara umum memiliki tingkat keakuratan semantik yang tinggi dan mampu merepresentasikan nilai budaya bahasa Makassar, meskipun masih ditemukan sejumlah kecil ketidaksepadanan makna. Dari hasil ketidaksepadanan ditemukan bahwa gemini belum mampu menerjemahkan kata yang sama dalam dua bahasa, tetapi memiliki makna yang berbeda.

English Job Interview Analysis in the Hospitality Industry: Human Resource Professionals’ Prefer-ences
A job interview is a significant factor in the recruiting and selection process, particularly in the hospitality sector, where English is widely spoken. Despite their importance, there are only a few empirical research works dedicated to English job interviews in the hospitality environment. This study aims to examine the nature of job interviews in the hospitality industry based on human resource (HR) practitioners in terms of interview preparation, interview types, interview type questions, evaluation of the candidates, and interview etiquette. A qualitative research strategy was employed with 20 HR professionals in Bali through a validated questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The findings show structured interviews are the most preferred type of interviews, followed by unstructured and behavioural interviews, respectively. Some of the most significant measured competencies are problem-solving, leadership, interpersonal, adaptability, and personal qualities. In addition to that, HR professionals emphasize professional interview etiquette, which involves punctuality, good appearance, attitude, and honesty. This study concludes that interviews are to be combined with other selection methods, which will lead to a more profound assessment of the applicants. These findings are applicable to the English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly in developing English job interview instructional materials for hospitality students. Abstrak Wawancara kerja merupakan faktor penting dalam proses rekrutmen dan seleksi, terutama di sektor hospitality di mana bahasa Inggris banyak digunakan. Meskipun penting, hanya sedikit penelitian empiris yang fokus pada wawancara kerja dalam bahasa Inggris di lingkungan perhotelan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis wawancara kerja di industri perhotelan berdasarkan persepsi praktisi sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam hal persiapan wawancara, jenis wawancara, pertanyaan dalam wawancara, evaluasi calon, dan etika wawancara. Strategi penelitian kualitatif diterapkan dengan melibatkan 20 profesional SDM di Bali melalui kuesioner yang telah tervalidasi dan wawancara semi-terstruktur. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa wawancara terstruktur adalah jenis wawancara yang paling disukai, diikuti oleh wawancara tidak terstruktur dan wawancara perilaku. Beberapa kompetensi yang paling signifikan yang diukur meliputi pemecahan masalah, kepemimpinan, interpersonal, adaptabilitas, dan kualitas pribadi. Selain itu, praktisi SDM menekankan etika wawancara profesional, yang meliputi ketepatan waktu, penampilan yang baik, sikap, dan kejujuran. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa wawancara harus dikombinasikan dengan metode seleksi lain, yang akan menghasilkan penilaian yang lebih mendalam terhadap calon karyawan. Temuan ini berlaku untuk Bahasa Inggris untuk Tujuan Khusus (ESP), khususnya dalam pengembangan materi instruksional wawancara kerja dalam bahasa Inggris untuk mahasiswa perhotelan.
Interdependent Cultural and Postcolonial Readings of Violence in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Existing scholarship on Things Fall Apart tends to examine indigenous and colonial forms of violence as separate analytical domains, leaving their interconnections underexplored. This study aims to analyze how domestic, ritual, ideological, and structural forms of violence operate as an interdependent system within the novel. Employing a descriptive–interpretive qualitative approach, the study draws on 42 purposively selected textual excerpts from the 2000 edition of the novel. Data were collected through textual documentation and analyzed using close reading and thematic coding informed by postcolonial and gender theory. The findings reveal that violence in the novel operates as a recursive and multi-layered system. Internally sanctioned forms of violence, particularly patriarchal control and culturally legitimized practices, sustain social order while simultaneously generating structural vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are subsequently exploited by colonial forces through ideological delegitimization and institutional domination, indicating a shift from physical toward epistemic and symbolic forms of violence. Acts of resistance, although grounded in indigenous moral logic, produce ambivalent outcomes by restoring symbolic authority while provoking intensified repression. These results demonstrate that violence in Things Fall Apart functions as a cyclical and mutually reinforcing process across personal, cultural, and political domains. The study contributes by offering an integrated analytical framework that bridges postcolonial and gender perspectives, while highlighting the novel’s relevance for understanding cultural resilience, identity reconstruction, and the ethical complexities of resistance in postcolonial contexts. Abstrak Kajian-kajian sebelumnya pada Things Fall Apart cenderung meneliti bentuk-bentuk kekerasan pribumi dan kolonial sebagai domain analitis yang terpisah, sehingga keterkaitannya kurang dieksplorasi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana bentuk-bentuk kekerasan domestik, ritual, ideologis, dan struktural beroperasi sebagai sistem yang saling bergantung dalam novel tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-interpretatif, studi ini mengambil 42 kutipan teks yang dipilih secara purposif dari edisi novel tahun 2000. Data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi tekstual dan dianalisis menggunakan pembacaan cermat dan pengkodean tematik yang didasarkan pada teori pascakolonial dan gender. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan dalam novel beroperasi sebagai sistem rekursif dan berlapis-lapis. Bentuk-bentuk kekerasan yang disetujui secara internal, khususnya kontrol patriarki dan praktik-praktik yang dilegitimasi secara budaya, mempertahankan tatanan sosial sekaligus menghasilkan kerentanan struktural. Kerentanan ini kemudian dieksploitasi oleh kekuatan kolonial melalui delegitimasi ideologis dan dominasi institusional, yang menunjukkan pergeseran dari bentuk kekerasan fisik menuju bentuk kekerasan epistemik dan simbolik. Tindakan perlawanan, meskipun berlandaskan logika moral pribumi, menghasilkan hasil yang ambivalen dengan memulihkan otoritas simbolik sekaligus memicu represi yang lebih intensif. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan dalam Things Fall Apart berfungsi sebagai proses siklik dan saling memperkuat di berbagai domain pribadi, budaya, dan politik. Studi ini berkontribusi dengan menawarkan kerangka analitis terintegrasi yang menjembatani perspektif pascakolonial dan gender, sekaligus menyoroti relevansi novel ini untuk memahami ketahanan budaya, rekonstruksi identitas, dan kompleksitas etika perlawanan dalam konteks pascakolonial.
Dwiaksara Latin-Lontara dalam Lanskap Linguistik Sidenreng Rappang
This study analyzes the phenomenon of dual-script use, actors, and functions of the Linguistic Landscape (LL) on street signs in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. A qualitative descriptive method was employed with 200 public space language signs collected through direct observation, field photography, and systematic documentation in October–November 2025. Data were analyzed using data reduction, classification, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques within a sociolinguistic-semiotic framework. The results show that of 200 LL signs, 120 (60%) use monolingual Latin, 40 (20%) use monolingual Lontara, and 40 (20%) use dual-script (Latin–Lontara). The main LL actors are public authorities (top-down), consistently implementing language policies to preserve the Bugis script. The functions of the Lontara script include symbolic (marker of Bugis ethnic identity), historical aesthetic (cultural memory reinforcement), and educational (script revitalization). These findings demonstrate that regional visual policy is the primary determinant of local script representation in Indonesian urban linguistic landscapes. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis fenomena dwiaksara, pelaku, dan fungsi Lanskap Linguistik (LL) pada papan nama jalan di Kabupaten Sidenreng Rappang. Metode deskriptif kualitatif digunakan dengan sumber data berupa 200 tanda bahasa di ruang publik yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi langsung, fotografi lapangan, dan dokumentasi sistematis pada bulan Oktober–November 2025. Data dianalisis melalui reduksi, klasifikasi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan kerangka semiotik sosiolinguistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 200 data LL, sebanyak 120 data (60%) menggunakan Latin monolingual, 40 data (20%) menggunakan Lontara monolingual, dan 40 data (20%) menggunakan dwiaksara (Latin–Lontara). Pelaku utama LL adalah otoritas publik (top-down) yang secara konsisten mengimplementasikan kebijakan bahasa untuk pemertahanan aksara Bugis. Fungsi aksara Lontara meliputi fungsi simbolik (penanda identitas etnis Bugis), historis-estetik (penguatan memori budaya), dan edukatif (revitalisasi aksara). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan visual daerah merupakan faktor penentu utama representasi aksara lokal dalam LL perkotaan di Indonesia.
Kematian dan Politik Ingatan dalam Novel Laut Bercerita Karya Leila S. Chudori: Thanatologi Sastra Herman Feife
This study aims to describe the function of death in Leila S. Chudori’s novel Laut Bercerita as an instrument of power and a medium of resistance against historical erasure. This research employs a descriptive-interpretative qualitative approach. The data consist of words, phrases, sentences, dialogues, and narratives in Laut Bercerita that represent death, grief, political violence, and collective memory. The data source is Leila S. Chudori’s novel Laut Bercerita, published by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia in 2017. The data were collected through library research, close reading, and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, data interpretation, and conclusion drawing by applying Herman Feifel’s thanatological framework and the concept of memory politics. The findings show that death in Laut Bercerita is not positioned as an individual event, but as a political practice that erases traces of resistance and produces historical emptiness. Awareness of death triggers the existential transformation of characters, particularly the shift from personal grief to moral and historical consciousness. In addition, the deaths of activists shape the politics of memory and collective trauma, which are manifested through narratives, rituals, and actions of families and civil society communities. These findings affirm the role of literature as a space for articulating memory and resisting historical erasure. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan fungsi kematian dalam novel Laut Bercerita karya Leila S. Chudori sebagai instrumen kekuasaan dan medium resistensi terhadap pelupaan sejarah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-interpretatif. Data penelitian berupa kata, frasa, kalimat, dialog, dan narasi dalam novel Laut Bercerita yang merepresentasikan kematian, duka, kekerasan politik, dan ingatan kolektif. Sumber data penelitian adalah novel Laut Bercerita karya Leila S. Chudori yang diterbitkan oleh Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia pada tahun 2017. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi pustaka, pembacaan dekat, dan teknik catat. Teknik analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, interpretasi data, dan penarikan simpulan dengan menggunakan kerangka thanatologi Herman Feifel dan konsep politik ingatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kematian dalam Laut Bercerita tidak diposisikan sebagai peristiwa individual, melainkan sebagai praktik politik yang menghapus jejak perlawanan dan memproduksi kekosongan historis. Kesadaran terhadap kematian memicu transformasi eksistensial tokoh, terutama pergeseran dari duka personal menuju kesadaran moral dan historis. Selain itu, kematian para aktivis membentuk politik ingatan dan trauma kolektif yang diwujudkan melalui narasi, ritual, serta aksi keluarga dan komunitas sipil. Temuan ini menegaskan peran sastra sebagai ruang artikulasi memori dan perlawanan terhadap pelupaan sejarah.
Dampak Penggunaan Teknologi Artificial Intelligence (Ai) terhadap Perilaku Belajar di Perguruan Tinggi
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant changes to learning in higher education, particularly in how students acquire information and complete academic tasks. The increasing intensity of AI usage has the potential to influence students’ learning behavior. This study aims to examine the effect of AI usage on students’ learning behavior in higher education using a mixed-method approach. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires administered to 104 students from various public and private universities in South Sulawesi using purposive sampling techniques. Meanwhile, qualitative data in the form of open-ended responses were analyzed using content analysis to identify diction patterns reflecting cognitive and affective engagement. The research instrument was tested for content validity, empirical validity, and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The prerequisite test results indicated that the data did not meet the assumption of linearity; therefore, hypothesis testing was conducted using Spearman Rank correlation. The findings reveal a significant effect of AI usage on students’ learning behavior, with a significance value of 0.00 (p ≤ 0.05). In addition, variations in students’ levels of dependence on AI were identified, ranging from low to high, each having different impacts on the learning process. These results emphasize the importance of using AI wisely to support learning independence and strengthen students’ critical thinking skills.

Bahasa Indonesia di SMP Sulawesi Selatan dalam Perspektif Culturally Responsive Teaching Ber-muatan Nilai Kearifan Lokal Bugis
This study aims to describe and analyze Indonesian language learning in junior high schools in South Sulawesi from a Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) perspective incorporating Bugis local wisdom. The study employed a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Indonesian language learning has reflected CRT principles; however, its implementation remains partial and lacks systematic planning. The integration of Bugis local wisdom values, such as sipakatau (mutual respect), lempu’ (honesty), getteng (steadfastness), and siri’ na pacce (sense of shame and social empathy), is evident in instructional materials, speaking activities, and culturally grounded language practices emphasizing politeness and communicative ethics. CRT-based learning incorporating local culture enhances students’ engagement, comprehension, confidence, and positive attitudes toward learning. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening teachers’ competencies and developing culturally based instructional materials to promote meaningful, contextual, and sustainable learning. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di SMP Sulawesi Selatan dari perspektif Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) yang bermuatan nilai kearifan lokal Bugis. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif-analitis. Data diperoleh melalui observasi pembelajaran, wawancara dengan guru dan peserta didik, serta analisis dokumen pembelajaran. Analisis data dilakukan secara interaktif melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan simpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia telah mengarah pada prinsip CRT, namun implementasinya masih bersifat parsial dan belum terencana secara sistematis. Integrasi nilai kearifan lokal Bugis, seperti sipakatau (saling menghargai), lempu’ (kejujuran), getteng (keteguhan), dan siri’ na pacce (rasa malu dan empati sosial), tampak dalam pemilihan materi, aktivitas berbicara, serta praktik kebahasaan yang mencerminkan kesantunan dan etika komunikasi. Pembelajaran berbasis CRT bermuatan budaya lokal terbukti meningkatkan keterlibatan, pemahaman, kepercayaan diri, dan sikap positif peserta didik. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya penguatan kompetensi guru serta pengembangan perangkat ajar berbasis budaya lokal untuk mewujudkan pembelajaran yang kontekstual, bermakna, dan berkelanjutan.
TRANSFORMASI PEMBELAJARAN SASTRA MELALUI MODEL DEEP LEARNING DAN PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING BERBANTUAN PLATFORM DIGITAL DI SMK DISTRIK AILEU
This study aims to analyze the transformation of literature learning through the implementation of Deep Learning and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) models integrated with digital platforms among vocational high school students in the Aileu District, Timor-Leste. The development of educational technology opens opportunities for literature learning that no longer focuses on memorization but rather on deep understanding. The deep learning approach is used to encourage analysis, reflection, and critical interpretation of literary texts, while PBL presents authentic problem-based learning through collaboration and active discussion. This study employs a quasi-experimental method with two groups, namely an experimental class that applies Deep Learning–PBL assisted by digital platforms and a control class using conventional methods. The research instruments include a literary comprehension test, student participation observation sheets, and a questionnaire on perceptions of technology utilization. The results show a significant improvement in literary analysis skills, learning engagement, and interpretive creativity of students in the experimental class compared to the control class (p < 0.05), with moderate to high effect sizes. The use of digital platforms also strengthens the learning experience through multimedia, online collaboration, and rapid feedback. This study concludes that the integration of deep learning, PBL, and digital technology is effective in transforming literature learning into a more profound, interactive, and relevant practice for 21st-century education
STEM–LITERACY INTEGRATION: MEMBANGUN PEMAHAMAN NARATIF DAN MATEMATIS MELALUI PLATFORM PEMBELAJARAN DIGITAL
The integration of literacy and numeracy has become a crucial priority in modern education in response to the increasing role of digital technology in learning. The need for an approach that connects narrative comprehension with mathematical reasoning has driven the development of the STEM– Literacy Integration model. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the model, which is characterized by the use of contextual mathematical narratives, cross-disciplinary problem solving, multimodal digital representations, and adaptive learning pathways that link language comprehension with numerical reasoning. The model was implemented through a digital learning platform to strengthen students’ reading comprehension and numeracy skills. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 120 junior high school students in Surabaya, who were divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were obtained through narrative literacy tests and numeracy assessments, while qualitative data were collected through interviews, observations of digital learning activities, and learning analytics. The results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension and numeracy performance in the experimental group (p < 0.05). Thematic analysis revealed that the integration of mathematical storytelling, interactive simulations, visual–verbal reinforcement, and real-world STEM contexts strengthened the cognitive connection between language and mathematical concepts. This study concludes that the STEM– Literacy Integration model is effective in simultaneously enhancing literacy and numeracy in the digital era.
STRATEGI KEBAHASAAN DALAM PROGRAM BIMBINGAN REMAJA USIA SEKOLAH (BRUS) UNTUK MEMBENTUK SIKAP REMAJA TERHADAP HUBUNGAN PRANIKAH
This study is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of premarital relationships among adolescents and the limited number of studies that position language as a primary factor in shaping attitudes. This study aims to describe the linguistic strategies employed in the School-Age Youth Guidance Program (BRUS) in shaping adolescents’ attitudes toward premarital relationships. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with frameworks from pragmatics, Systemic Functional Linguistics, and Critical Discourse Analysis. The data consist of facilitator utterances, participant responses, and BRUS module texts, which are collected through observation, documentation, and transcription, and then analyzed through data reduction, coding, and thematic interpretation. The results of this study indicate that the linguistic strategies in BRUS are dominated by directive speech acts, the use of modality such as must, should, have the right to, and can, as well as evaluative and preventive diction such as self control, risk, and responsibility. The results of this study also show that language in BRUS is not neutral, but functions to direct, legitimize, and reframe premarital relationships as risky behavior that should be avoided. In addition, adolescent responses demonstrate the internalization of values through expressions of understanding, assertiveness, caution, and future orientation. The implications of this study confirm that linguistic strategies play a strategic role in shaping adolescents’ attitudes persuasively without generating resistance, thus BRUS can be understood as an effective linguistic practice in constructing values and guiding adolescents’ decision making.
Kuasa Simbolik Perspektif Pierre Bourdieu dalam Pembelajaran Sastra Perguruan Tinggi
The development of literature learning in higher education cannot be separated from the influence of aesthetic ideology that shapes how students understand and write literary works. This study examines symbolic power from Pierre Bourdieu’s perspective in literature learning at the university level. The research problem focuses on the internalization of universal humanist literature in students’ poetry through literature instruction. This study aims to describe the forms of symbolic power that influence the themes, diction, and language styles of students’ poetry. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, with data consisting of 30 student poems from poetry appreciation and poetry studies courses. The data were analyzed using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic power through thematic analysis, word choice, and language style. The findings reveal that literature learning in higher education tends to internalize the aesthetics of universal humanist literature among students. Of the 30 poems analyzed, most demonstrate uniformity in themes, poetic diction, and the use of language styles that represent the dominance of legitimate aesthetics. This condition indicates the presence of symbolic power in literature learning that shapes students’ perceptions of poetic standards. This study recommends a literature learning approach that is more open to the diversity of students’ social experiences and habitus so that literary creativity can develop more authentically. Abstrak Perkembangan pembelajaran sastra di perguruan tinggi tidak terlepas dari pengaruh ideologi estetika yang membentuk cara mahasiswa memahami dan menulis karya sastra. Penelitian ini membahas kuasa simbolik perspektif Pierre Bourdieu dalam pembelajaran sastra di perguruan tinggi. Permasalahan penelitian difokuskan pada internalisasi sastra humanis universal dalam puisi mahasiswa melalui pembelajaran sastra. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan bentuk kuasa simbolik yang memengaruhi tema, diksi, dan gaya bahasa puisi mahasiswa. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan data berupa 30 puisi mahasiswa pada mata kuliah apresiasi dan kajian puisi. Data dianalisis menggunakan teori kuasa simbolik Pierre Bourdieu melalui analisis tema, pilihan kata, dan gaya bahasa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran sastra di perguruan tinggi cenderung menginternalisasikan estetika sastra humanis universal kepada mahasiswa. Dari 30 puisi yang dianalisis, sebagian besar menunjukkan keseragaman tema, diksi puitis, dan penggunaan gaya bahasa yang merepresentasikan dominasi estetika legitim. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan adanya kuasa simbolik dalam pembelajaran sastra yang membentuk persepsi mahasiswa mengenai standar kepuitisan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pembelajaran sastra yang lebih terbuka terhadap keberagaman pengalaman sosial dan habitus mahasiswa agar kreativitas sastra berkembang secara lebih autentik.
Transformasi Nilai Siri' Na Pacce dalam Sastra Digital: Kritik Sastra Interdisipliner
This study aims to analyze the representation and transformation of Siri’ na Pacce values in digital literature through the perspective of interdisciplinary literary criticism. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach because the object of study consists of digital literary texts containing cultural representation, social identity, and meaning transformation within digital media contexts. The research data comprise 12 digital literary texts, including digital short stories, online poetry, and literary narratives on social media platforms published between 2020 and 2025. Data collection techniques were conducted through documentation studies and digital tracing using keywords related to Siri’ na Pacce, digital literature, and Bugis-Makassar culture. Data analysis employed content analysis, social semiotics, and hermeneutic interpretation by integrating perspectives from literary studies, cultural studies, and digital media. The findings reveal that Siri’ na Pacce values continue to be represented in digital literature, although they experience transformations in meaning due to the influence of digital culture and social media. The value of siri’, which traditionally emphasized collective honor, shifts toward representations of personal identity and digital existence, while pacce transforms from direct social solidarity into virtual empathy expressed through online interactions. In addition, digital literature presents cultural representations that are more multimodal, interactive, and contextual than conventional literature. This study demonstrates that local wisdom is dynamic and adaptable to technological developments. Therefore, digital literature functions not only as a medium of contemporary literary expression but also as a space for reinterpretation and preservation of local cultural identity in a global society. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi dan transformasi nilai Siri’ na Pacce dalam sastra digital melalui perspektif kritik sastra interdisipliner. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis karena objek kajian berupa teks sastra digital yang mengandung representasi budaya, identitas sosial, dan transformasi makna dalam konteks media digital. Data penelitian berupa 12 teks sastra digital yang terdiri atas cerpen digital, puisi daring, dan narasi sastra media sosial yang dipublikasikan pada berbagai platform digital periode 2020–2025. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi dokumentasi dan penelusuran digital (digital tracing) dengan menggunakan kata kunci yang berkaitan dengan Siri’ na Pacce, sastra digital, dan budaya Bugis-Makassar. Analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis isi (content analysis), semiotika sosial, dan interpretasi hermeneutik dengan mengintegrasikan perspektif sastra, studi budaya, dan media digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai Siri’ na Pacce tetap direpresentasikan dalam sastra digital, tetapi mengalami transformasi makna akibat pengaruh budaya digital dan media sosial. Nilai siri’ yang sebelumnya berorientasi pada kehormatan kolektif berubah menjadi representasi identitas personal dan eksistensi digital, sedangkan nilai pacce mengalami pergeseran dari solidaritas sosial langsung menjadi empati virtual melalui interaksi daring. Selain itu, sastra digital menghadirkan bentuk representasi budaya yang lebih multimodal, interaktif, dan kontekstual dibandingkan sastra konvensional. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kearifan lokal bersifat dinamis dan adaptif terhadap perkembangan teknologi digital. Dengan demikian, sastra digital tidak hanya menjadi media ekspresi sastra kontemporer, tetapi juga menjadi ruang reinterpretasi dan pelestarian identitas budaya lokal dalam masyarakat global.
