Cigawiran is an Indonesian oral tradition that has Islamic religious values and messages. It is only found and developed in a limited location, namely Cigawir village. Regarding the limitation of Cigawiran spreading, this article examined its vitality and cultural values. Oral tradition and vitality research methodologies were utilized in this study. The concept of oral tradition vitality was derived from the theoretical frameworks proposed by Grimes, which shares similarities with the notion of language vitality and encompasses six distinct categories that assess the vitality level within oral traditions. The data was gathered through a questionnaire. The findings of the vitality study indicated that the Cigawiran is classified as stable yet facing threats. This suggests that the tradition is practiced by the entire local community, albeit selectively among specific generations. The study suggests that there is a need for the revival of the Cigawiran because this practice has been limited to a small number of generations up to the present time.

This article considers the fact that culture, as a person’s activity and as a set of spiritual and material values, norms, ideals, and behavioral patterns, is involved in the multifaceted process of structuring the social space and building society. The purpose of this research article is to review the system of language symbols that carry culture and the many differences which exist between countries, peoples, social groups, social communities, languages, customs, traditions, lives, and cultural values. Furthermore, the multifaceted nature of intercultural communication from the sides of anthropology, linguistics, sociology, psychology, information theory, and culture is revealed and analyzed. It is also argued that the problem of culture and language is the basis of anthropological research from the viewpoint of intercultural communication in building a cultural model of the nation.

This paper demonstrates the results of the study on the use of region-based materials in EFL classes at university. The empirical research methods made it possible to reveal teachers’ attitudes towards the use of region-based materials. The data were collected from 21 participants through an interview that showed teachers’ positive attitudes to region-based materials integration. Based on the results obtained during the study, implications were provided for teachers to improve the EFL teaching process at universities. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the realization of a regional approach in different countries of the world and in Kazakhstan was studied. English teachers’ attitudes towards the use of region-based materials in classes were revealed and the difficulties in the use of those materials were indicated.

This study examines the resilience and challenges faced by indigenous children in pursuing their career aspirations in 1930s colonial Java through the children’s novel “Bocah Mangkunegaran”. Using a descriptive-qualitative method and drawing from postcolonial theory and reader-response perspectives, it explores the impact of colonial contexts on their career ambitions across various sectors. Their career choices in trade, agriculture, craftsmanship, palace guards, and the arts reflect their ability to overcome challenges and demonstrate unique resilience. For instance, in trade, they leaned toward entrepreneurial roles, seeking independence from colonial influence. Similarly, in agriculture, they aspired to roles like water custodians, emphasizing the importance of these positions. Their career paths often mirrored parental influences, integrating cultural heritage. Their roles as palace guards highlighted the complexities of indigenous children within the colonial structure.

This article aims to explore pedagogical technologies used to develop the language competence of students based on the verbal-semantic level of the linguistic personality. With socio-political and economic changes in Kazakhstan, individualizing education has become a crucial aspect of improving personal training quality at all levels. Language centers on linguistic personality, which accumulates values of linguistic, cultural, and communicative knowledge. Language and words are revealed in modern anthropologically relevant levels of linguistic science through language cognition and participial communication. This article introduces a number of techniques and strategies on how to increase students’ linguistic competence through linguistic personalities. To this aim, Auezov’s literary works were considered a source of inspiration on how to help students to enhance their linguistic competence. In the end, some suggestions were made on how to use linguistic personality in language education.

In ancient Egypt, kings were believed to have both cosmic and political roles. One of the tools they employed to announce such roles was their royal titularies. This paper conducted a thematic analysis of the titularies of all native ancient Egyptian kings over the seven dynastic periods (from 3150 B.C. to 332 B.C.). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct this thematic analysis of 1,164 titularies embraced by 260 native Egyptian kings in the fields of Onomastics or Egyptology. We examined the linguistic repertoire used in these titularies employing two methods: manual and via Word Counter and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The analysis yielded three main themes: Relation to the divine, theme of war and conflict, and relation to the land. Findings revealed a marked consistency in the thematic distribution across periods and titulary categories. Findings also showed significant changes in the use of theonyms and toponyms in all periods.

Human activity can be manifested in linguistic reflection that makes it possible to recognize the individual linguistic arguments and the structure of the language. It is also an instrument for the formation of individual’s linguistic etiquette depending on the person’s consideration of the language norms. The authors aimed to determine the features of the language reflection process. In the course of the work, special literature was studied, and different points of view on the definition of reflection were analyzed. The authors agree with the view that there are three types of reflection, such as simple, scientific, and philosophical. As a result of the study, the following prerequisites to determine language reflection were identified: language and thinking, language consciousness, language culture, the culture of thought, the development of language and consciousness, respect for the native language, ability to express themselves properly in any environment, respect for the milieu, and accountability for mental and emotional activities.

The study aims at analyzing politeness and gender around the postponement of election discourse in the Rosi Talk Show (RTS). This qualitative study applies a pragmatic approach that investigates hedge markers (HM). Data were collected from the utterances of nine participants using basic tapping, free-flowing listening, and note-taking. The results indicated several findings. First, academics (males) represented hedge markers with assertive acts of expressing an opinion. However, the practitioner (female) tended to use directive acts of questioning. Second, academics and practitioners (males) often used hedges for quality maxims. While the practitioner (female) often used hedges with question tags. Third, the function of HM showed performative hedges as hesitation and meta-comments; particles to emphasize questions, soften act, and give flexibility; adverbial clauses to show cause-effect and conditions; hedges to quality maxims to show hesitation, raise objections, minimize criticism, and other corrections; hedges to relevance maxims as allegation and hesitation; and hedges in politeness as indifference, rejection, and avoidance.

The study elucidates His Royal Highness (HRH) Crown Prince Al-Hussein’s insightful vision to empower youth through a critical analysis of the rhetoric and persuasive patterns used in his speeches. The thematic analysis reveals his adept use of distinctive grammatical, lexical, and rhetorical features in his speeches, highlighting the significance of crucial issues concerning youth, such as peace and security. He employs a stylistic strategy that includes the perfect use of endearing, supportive, and persuasive lexicon, pronouns, repetition, rhetorical questions, comparative and superlative structures, intertextuality, metaphor, and presuppositions. He has presented youth as an ideology, perceiving them as peacemakers and powerful forces that society should harness for a prosperous country. He has portrayed a youth generation that is conscious, active, optimistic, patriotic, ambitious, and open-minded. They invest their time, innovative thoughts, energy, and technological skills to build their capacity and turn obstacles into opportunities for a prosperous future.

Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is Indonesian language learning intended for foreigners. The aim of this research was to examine the vocabulary, terminologies, and grammar used by BIPA students with the corpus linguistics application, Kortara. This research was conducted at Fatoni University and Yale University with 51 BIPA students. This research used a mixed-methods approach, comprising the quantitative method that was used in the early stage of research to obtain the research data and the qualitative method for the analysis process. The research results showed dominant mastery of vocabulary by BIPA students, mostly nouns, verbs, adverbs, pronouns, and adjectives. There were 11 vocabularies with the highest frequency. Based on the results of the analysis, effective and efficient vocabulary learning principles and techniques were structured for BIPA students as an introduction to word types and variations of word formation in the Indonesian language.

The article examines the main challenges and common mistakes that may occur during the translation of culture-bound vocabulary. The article is aimed to identify the nature and reasons for national and cultural deviations in the Russian translation of the novel “Twilight” by Meyer. Research methods are focused on a comprehensive research methodology: descriptive, comparative, and conceptual analysis. The authors applied both traditional and linguocognitive approaches to investigate culture-bound elements of the original novel “Twilight”, and therefore, to explain the reasons for discrepancies found in its Russian translation. The practical value of the article is determined by the fact that the material worked out in the research can be used in lecture courses on the general and partial theory of translation, and seminars on literary translation practice. Research findings have proved that reaching success in linguocultural translation largely depends on the ability of a translator to understand implicit information and apply adequate translation techniques to convey the national identity of the source text.

Confixes are affixation phenomena that may affect the class of a word (derivation) or may not change it (inflectional). This study aims to examine the use of confixes (per-/-an and peN-/-an) found in the novel “Laskar Pelangi” by Andrea Hirata. The research employs a corpus linguistic approach through the application of KORTARA (Korpus Nusantara) provided by Universitas Negeri Padang. The application can identify the words based on affixation. The data were collected and then analysed using digital computational linguistic analysis. The findings indicated that the use of per-/-an and peN-/-an in Indonesian functions creates new lexemes as they produce new meanings. Additionally, the study revealed that the addition of per-/-an and peN-/-an confixes changes the verb class of words into a noun class with the meaning of action-process nouns and action nouns. The confixes (per-/-an and peN-/-an) may affect the class of words.

It is well known that language is one of the most important tools of human communication in various media. Thus, it is necessary to consider the way language is used in the media and its role in how opinions and concepts are expressed. Understanding the language of media users increases understanding of their thoughts and convictions. Besides, the use of language can shape the impact on any audience or even contribute to controlling the direction of their potential opinions. Despite all the tremendous developments in the media, the vision for the function of language has remained the most powerful and fastest tool in reaching the inevitable results and building effective communication between the users themselves. This paper examined the many uses of language implemented in various media in order to reveal the truth of words that go far beyond the direct surface meaning of the audience’s understanding. We also analyzed some of the most dangerous and powerful examples of such an ambiguous use of language in linguistic fallacy and manipulation.

This study investigates the originality of Alimzhanov’s aesthetic position, which is largely determined by the nature of the writer's understanding of the new scientific paradigm developed between the 20th century and the first third of the 21st century. Elements of the aesthetic system of classical Kazakh and Russian literature played a crucial part in the development of Alimzhanov’s ontology. Anuar Alimzhanov’s aesthetic position is a return to folk origins and his spiritual heritage, which conditioned the interest of the authors of this study in investigating the issues of foreign ethno-cultural aesthetic foundations and resources in artistic creativity, including the unconscious poetic element. Describing the myth, the authors of the study note its imagery, which is inherent in art. An important notion in Alimzhanov’s concept of being is value in its ethical aspect. Alimzhanov asserts the ontological independence of the past, which is the reason that the writer often acknowledges the proximity of the recollected world with the relevance of the humanistic values of the present.

In the given study, we analyzed different approaches to the principles of news selection and identified the most frequent ones for Kazakhstan: spatial and emotional proximity. Against this background, Socially and politically important news was selected on the reforms of the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) of Kazakhstan. We considered the issue of the dynamics of the communicative and linguistic transformation of the information occasion in print and online publications of Kazakhstan. Four main stages in the dynamics of news distribution were identified: selection, origin, active dissemination, and extinction. Publications on the topic during the period of active dissemination were classified according to semantic characteristics: description of the actions of official bodies, description of the actions of the people, advice, analytics, and authoritative opinion. In addition, this period was characterized by a wide stylistic range, where the frequent linguistic means were keywords of the topic, verbs of speech, interrogative constructions, orientation metaphors, accurate and approximate numerical data, and evaluative vocabulary.

Studies on presidential debates provide evidence that the use of boosters helps to convey strong emphasis on candidates’ ideology. This persuasive strategy is best portrayed through the schematic structure of presidential debates. Therefore, this study aims to scrutinize the boosters’ functions realized in the first American Presidential Debate 2020. This is a qualitative study with a pragmatic approach that investigates booster’s functions using the domain, taxonomy, and componential analysis. The linguistic evidence in the result shows the candidates exploited several intensifiers largely, including force indication, source tagging, accentuating, and solidarity markers. These boosters emphasize the strength of past deeds, criticizing past policies to promote definite proposals, expose repetitive emotional expression, and seek solidarity in the thesis stage. Meanwhile, in the argument stage, they function as devices for articulating offensive and defensive arguments. The results imply the essential functions of boosters in the persuasive political discourse of presidential debate viewed from its communicative purpose reflected in each schematic structure.

This research investigates the combination of the languages utilized on restaurant signs in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. Among 279 collected data, it is found that three languages are mostly utilized for communication. Those languages are Balinese, Indonesian, and English. As the second result of the analysis, it is found that most of the collected signs combine Balinese and English as well as Indonesian and English. These combinations show that English dominates the communication system in public settings. Meanwhile, Balinese and Indonesian normally serve as part of the naming system on those signs. These two results conclude that Balinese and Indonesian still need to be introduced to obtain an equal position as the English language. Utilizing Balinese and Indonesian on public signs is one of the most practical solutions for providing them with public exposure. The presence of local languages on public signs combined with English is a mutually beneficial strategy for both business aspects and preserving local language and culture.

The relevance of the problems of ideology, patriotism, and national identity, the manipulation of consciousness is gaining a new reflection in the conceptual picture of the world and society. This scientific article is devoted to the study of concepts in the public speeches of American and Kazakh politicians. The issues of political linguistics are becoming an increasingly relevant research object for many linguists. The purpose of the scientific article is to identify and consider methods of language representation and implementation of the system of concepts in the speeches of the president of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the president of the United States of America. Using content analysis, we identified a system of concepts in the president’s inaugural speech. An analysis of the concepts of the political picture of the world revealed and understood the target orientation of speech influences, the motives, and the true meaning of the statements of political figures, shedding light on the nature and essence of political processes.

This stylistic study pays attention to the use of language in literary works, focusing on the use of language that deviates from everyday language or is typical in literary discourse. This paper aims to describe lexical deviations in three novels: Lontara Rindu (LR), Sabda Luka (SL), and Sayat-sayat Sunyi (SSS). They are local novels written by Mappagewa in Indonesian. Content analysis was used for data collection. Data was analyzed using three flows: reduction, data presentation, and drawing precise conclusions. The study shows three forms of deviation: neologisms, connotative forms, and diction. The use of lexical deviation forms is more often found in LR. The deviation aims to show an aesthetic impression and attention from the reader’s point of view. It was found that the author foregrounded the three novels to get tight and concise word forms.

The composition of the Al-’Arabiyyatu baina Yadaika (ABY) Arabic language textbook perpetuates gender inequality. This textbook not only constitutes language elements but also incorporates texts and illustrations that depict gender dynamics. This research examines the representation of gender imbalance in the composition of the textbook, including its contents and illustrations, and analyzes the portrayal of gender roles as depicted in the textbook’s examples. The study is founded on data gathered from reviewing, recording, and analyzing the textbook, with consideration given to gender relationships. The focal point of this research analysis is the ABY textbook, tailored for non-native Arabic speakers. The findings of the study reveal that the construction of the Arabic language textbook perpetuates a gender-unbalanced representation in both the text and visual depictions of males and females. This study advocates for the development of language textbooks that promote gender equality and fairness in their social and cultural elements.

This research studies the various barriers that impede Jordanian female academics’ advancement into leadership positions with a focus on the attainment of internationally funded projects. By examining the case of Yarmouk University in Jordan, the study inspects a new “glass ceiling” which women face in leadership positions and the field of international projects in academic institutions. It investigates the many obstacles that female academics face as applicants, participants, and leaders of internationally funded academic projects. With a focus on the personal and academic experiences of Jordanian female academics from Yarmouk University, the study highlights a number of social, cultural, administrative, academic, and personal barriers that hinder their presence as leaders of international projects. While much has been written about women and leadership in higher education in different parts of the world, the very focus on specific leadership opportunities is still lacking in recent research. Therefore, this study comes to fill a significant gap in research about female leadership in the academe.

This study briefly introduces some of the core features of edusemiotics, and combines them with the thought of Confucius embodied in the Analects – a book recording the words and deeds of Confucius and his students, thus discovering that the triadic model of semiotics and edusemiotics fits well with the core of Confucius’s educational thought of “Ren (仁)”. At the same time, edusemiotics finds a theoretical and practical fit with the Analects, both in terms of structural features of the included middle and in terms of the functioning logic of process-ontology. It proves that although Confucius’s classical educational thought has existed and been inherited for more than two thousand years, some of its educational concepts and methods stand at the forefront of the times from the pers-pective of edusemiotics today, and still remain an important guide and reference to the field of human education in this day and age.

Under the background of the Belt and Road Initiative, based on two communication channels of Lotman’s Cultural Semiotics, this study focuses on two intersubjective communication channels in higher education between China and the Belt and Road countries. It aims to explore “I-S/he” and “I-I” interpretation communication channels and tries to find the similarities and differences using the comparative and cultural semiotics methods. The major findings consist of three aspects. First, the “I-S/he” sign system includes bilateral, regional, and multilateral intersubjective communication; Second, the “I-I” sign system consists of Chinese and foreign “I-I” intersubjective communication; Third, the similarities between the two communication channels are in the same semiosphere. Meanwhile, the differences between the two communication channels are time and space, subject and object, and variable and invariable. At the end of this study, the authors provide some references to scholars focusing on cultural semiotics and higher education between China and the Belt and Road countries.

The article examined the cognitive and linguistic features of the “altyn/gold” concept in Kazakh and English paremiology. The importance of the analysis of paremias in recognition of the concept is related to the fact that these proverbs provide the main value orientations of each people, and they appear as a type of condensed national cultural texts. As a result of the study, differences in phraseological units of the Kazakh and English languages in the interpretation of the concept of altyn/gold were revealed from the analysis of linguocreative, pragmatic, and linguocultural factors. The cognitive nature of culturally marked linguistic units, which determine the cultural character of the two nations in the linguistic image of the world, was determined by studying Kazakh linguistic and cultural knowledge and the “gold” component of the English national identity within the framework of the linguoconceptual paradigm of paremias.
