ETHNOLINGUISTIC STUDY OF MALAY KITCHEN UTENSILS LEXICON IN BELARAS BARAT MANDAH INDRAGIRI HILIR
This study is initiated by the use of lexicons that are closely associated with the cultural development of a community. Employing an ethnolinguistic perspective, this research aims to describe the lexicon of kitchen utensils used by the Malay community in Belaras Barat Village, Mandah District, Indragiri Hilir Regency. The data were analyzed using distributional and referential methods. The results indicate that the lexicon of kitchen utensils is realized in the form of both single words and phrases. From a semantic perspective, the lexicon encompasses utensils for processing and storing food. These lexical items convey not only literal meanings but also reflect local cultural values and traditional knowledge deeply rooted in the daily life of the community. Therefore, the lexicon of kitchen utensils functions as both a linguistic resource and a cultural representation of the Malay society in the research setting.

LANGUAGE DISORDERS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AT SAYAP IBU BINTARO FOUNDATION: A CASE STUDY OF A 25-YEAR-OLD
Language development is a gradual process in acquiring the ability to understand and use language for communication. This process involves biological, cognitive, social, and environmental aspects. In relation to biological and cognitive aspects, individuals with cerebral palsy experience difficulties in the stages of language development. Therefore, this study aims to describe language disorders in a 25-year-old individual with cerebral palsy at the Sayap Ibu Bintaro Foundation. These language disorders are specifically examined in the phonological domain. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, based on the assumption that individuals with special needs, such as cerebral palsy, possess unique characteristics that are not generalizable. The findings reveal the presence of phonological disorders, including phoneme deletion, consonant substitution, simplification of consonant clusters into the nasal sound /ŋ/, and the addition of certain sounds. These disorders are caused by limitations in the motor control of speech organs, which are associated with the subject’s neurological condition. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for phonological therapy patterns for individuals with cerebral palsy who experience similar language disorders.
OPTIMIZING WRITING SKILLS THROUGH DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE METHODS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Writing is an essential academic skill that needs to be developed to support success in education and future careers. However, the lack of appropriate teaching methods is often the main cause of students' difficulties in developing writing skills. Therefore, teachers need to select and apply appropriate learning methods so that students can achieve optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to compare the effects of deductive and inductive learning methods on students' writing skills. The study used an experimental approach with a quasi-experimental design of the two-group pretest-posttest type. The research subjects consisted of two classes: two experimental classes that used the deductive method and one other class that used the inductive method. The instrument used was a performance test, and data analysis was carried out statistically using SPSS software. The results of the study showed that both deductive and inductive methods were equally effective in improving students' writing skills. However, based on the analysis results, no significant differences were found between the two methods on student learning outcomes in writing learning.

The research objectives are to describe the types of illocutionary acts in Anies Baswedan’s utterances in the political context as a pragmatic analysis. This descriptive qualitative research collected and analyzed the data using Searle’s theory of Illocutionary Acts (2005) and Levinson’s theory of the context (1983) using 30 utterances from the “Desak Anies” program conducted in Semarang and uploaded by Metro TV to its official YouTube channel a week before election day. The research findings revealed that the most used illocutionary acts by Baswedan in the “Desak Anies” program were assertives, for 45%, used to describe the world or convey information that the speaker believes to be true. Assertive utterances aim to inform, describe, or explain and are evaluated based on truthfulness or accuracy. Assertive utterances are key communication components that help share knowledge and convey facts. Baswedan is known for his rhetorical speech and his skills in speaking to persuade or convince audiences. Baswedan uses examples, facts, and logical explanations to support his ideas/ opinions in that part.
A STYLISTIC STUDY OF LANGUAGE STYLE AND IMAGERY IN LEILA SALIKHA CHUDORI’S NOVEL PULANG
Literary works are the result of artistic creation in the form of aesthetic language that contains elements of life expressed in oral or written form. One type of literary work is the novel. The novel that will be studied by the researcher is Pulang by Leila Salikha Chudori. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of language style and imagery, including comparative language style, contrasting language style, connecting language style, and emphatic language style. There is also an analysis of six types of imagery, namely visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory imagery. All are examined using stylistic analysis with descriptive qualitative research methods and purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study show that the use of language style in the novel Pulang is able to develop the emotions and imagination of the novel's readers. Not a few, the types of language styles displayed are able to carry the reader away by the atmosphere with the dominant use of comparison and contrast figures of speech. In addition, the imagery presented by Leila is able to describe a complex storyline with a series of words that evoke a narrative in the reader's mind regarding the atmosphere that the author wants to create. This is especially true of the dominant visual, auditory, and tactile descriptions. Based on this explanation, this study is expected to provide examples of the use of style and imagery that correlate with the meaning that the author wants to convey.
TRANSLANGUAGING PRACTICES IN STUDENTS' INTERNSHIP REPORTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF INDONESIAN AS A SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE
This study examines translanguaging practices in students’ internship reports and their implications for the sustainability of Bahasa Indonesia as an academic language. The increasing use of English terminology in professional academic writing reflects the integration of global language resources. This study aims to identify forms of translanguaging, analyze their distribution and functions, and explain their impact on the status of Bahasa Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using thematic analysis of 85 lexical data categorized into borrowing, hybrid, and mixing forms. The findings indicate that translanguaging is dominated by borrowing, with full English structures as the primary pattern, while Bahasa Indonesia remains the main syntactic framework through mixed constructions. These results suggest that translanguaging enhances terminological precision and communication efficiency but also reflects the growing dominance of global language. Therefore, translanguaging represents an adaptive practice that negotiates between professional communication needs and the sustainability of Bahasa Indonesia in academic contexts.
LANGUAGE VARIATION OF BURU YOUTH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC STUDY
This study aims to identify and analyze the language variations and language functions used by Buru teenagers in their interactions on social media, particularly TikTok and Facebook, through a sociolinguistic approach. The results of the study show that the language variation of Buru adolescents on TikTok and Facebook is influenced by social, situational, and technological factors, with four main forms: dialect (local identity), usage (communicative function), formality, and medium (a mix of spoken and written forms). The most dominant variation is formality, characterized using casual and intimate language that reflects expressive communication, the use of slang and local dialect, and the strengthening of closeness and solidarity among adolescents. Furthermore, six functions of language variation were identified, namely emotive, directive, phatic, referential, metalingual, and imaginative functions. Among these, the emotive function is the most dominant.
IMPACT OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING ON ENGLISH VOCABULARIES DEVELOPMENT IN MULTIMEDIA STUDENTS
This study examines the impact of digital storytelling on English vocabulary development among multimedia engineering students in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design, the study evaluated the acquisition of 120 technical and academic vocabulary items, focusing on retention and contextual use. The experimental group engaged in digital storytelling activities, while the control group received traditional instruction. The results indicate that digital storytelling significantly improves vocabulary acquisition. The experimental group achieved a 30.5% increase in vocabulary recognition, outperforming the control group’s 19.3% gain. Additionally, students exposed to digital storytelling reported higher levels of engagement and confidence, which were found to positively correlate with vocabulary retention. The integration of multimodal elements-such as visuals, audio, and interactive features-enhanced learning by supporting deeper cognitive processing. These findings suggest that digital storytelling is an effective pedagogical approach for improving vocabulary development and learner motivation in multimedia engineering education. The study highlights its potential as an innovative strategy for ESP instruction, particularly for visually oriented learners in technology-driven environments.
TRANSITIVITY PATTERNS IN THE INDONESIAN TRANSLATION OF SURAHS WITH THE THEME OF EASE AFTER HARDSHIP

Data were collected using content analysis with a note-taking technique, while data analysis followed Spradley’s model, including domain, taxonomic, componential, and cultural theme analysis. The findings reveal three types of processes: material (62.5%), relational (existential) (25%), and mental (12.5%), with material processes being dominant. The dominant participant pattern is Actor–Goal accompanied by beneficiary circumstances. In addition, the text exhibits a move structure progressing from rhetorical statements to affirmation and instruction. These findings indicate that experiential meaning is constructed through concrete actions, the existence of universal conditions, and human inner responses. Overall, the text represents the theme of “ease after hardship” as a universal, transformative, and inspirational principle.

ANALYSIS OF ERRORS IN READING ARABIC TEXTS AMONG MALDIS STUDENTS
Difficulties in determining I’rab in modern Arabic texts are still frequently encountered in the learning process, particularly by MALDIS students. This is due to a lack of understanding in correctly applying the rules they have learned to the text. This study involved 30 students with the aim of analyzing the types of I’rab errors, identifying the most frequently misapplied rules, and determining the underlying causes. Additionally, this study implemented an instructional intervention to gradually reduce the error rate. The method used was qualitative descriptive with the listen-and-note technique. Pre-test results showed 368 errors (68.4%), primarily in the rules of idhafah, jar majrur, and fa’il. After the intervention, the number of errors in the post-test decreased to 170 (31.6%), indicating a significant improvement in the students’ proficiency. These findings underscore the importance of appropriate learning strategies in helping students understand I’rab. This study also contributes to the development of more effective and practical Arabic teaching methods. Further research is recommended to employ different methods and involve a broader sample of participants to ensure the results are more generalizable and applicable across various learning contexts.

TRANSLATION OF JAPANESE MODALITY INTO INDONESIAN
The translation of the modalities contained in a literary work needs to be done with consideration.This is caused by the modalities used to express the speaker's feelings will be different in each language. This paper discusses the translation of modalities contained in Japanese novels Kimi no Suizō wo Tabetai, which are translated into Indonesian.In fulfilling the objectives of the study, descriptive analysis was applied, and all stages of analysis were done qualitatively.The findings of this study reveal that Japanese modalities can be translated in Indonesian into three ways. First, the modality is translated into similar modalities in Indonesian. Second, the modalities are translated into Indonesian using different modalities. Third, Japanese modalities that cannot be translated into Indonesian are translated in the basic form without modality markers. Translation of modalities which are translated into different modalities mostly occurs in deontic modality which is translated into intentional modality. This happens because the translator wants to refine the command into a request or permission by adding the words please ‘tolong’, (can’t you) try ‘coba’ and bisakah ‘can’t you’. In translating modalities, things that must be considered apart from equivalence are the level of politeness, the relationship between the speaker - the interlocutor, and the level of formality.
