A PRELIMINARY STUDY: WORD AND NON-WORD REPETITION TASKS IN CHILDREN WITH SPEECH DELAY
Full text linkThis study examined the potential of using word and non-word repetition to screen children with speech delay in Indonesia. The tasks adapted Dollaghan & Campbell (1998), which was adjusted to Indonesian. There were 32 items arranged in two sets, consisting of 16 words and 16 non-words, and four items in one, two, three, and four syllables. The sets were counterbalanced across participants. The total number of phonemes in each set was 96. This research involved two children with speech delay (aged 5;0 (year;month) coded B12, and aged 7;1 coded A12); and eleven typically developing children as a control group for each of A12 and B12. The accuracy of word repetitions of all number of syllables by B12 revealed significantly lower results than the accuracy of the control group. The accuracy of non-word repetition in this group did not show any significant differences. For the group of participants aged 7 years, the word repetition revealed significant differences, although A12 had performed normally in two-syllable words. In this group, the repetition of 3- and 4-syllables non-words by participant A12 showed significantly lower results compared to the accuracy of the control group. Clinical and developmental implications in the Indonesian context were discussed.KEYWORDS: Speech Delay, Non-word Repetition, Word Repetition, Language Disorders in Childre
RE-IMMIGRATION OF EX-LAOTIAN REFUGEES IN INDONESIA: THE MEANING OF IDENTITY THROUGH NOSTALGIA FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Full text linkIn 1975, the communist revolution in Laos forced approximately 400,000 Lao citizens into exile. They had no other choice besides leaving their home country. These refugees are scattered in western countries and neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. The detachment of the ex-refugees next generation to their home country (Laos) becomes a problem in determining their identity when they return to Laos. This research focuses on narrating the identity of the next generation of ex-Laotian refugees in Indonesia. The next generation of ex-Laotian refugees in Indonesia interprets their identity as Indonesians rather than Laotians. This study will provide an overview of how identity is interpreted as a structure of feeling for a space in the form of nostalgia. Considering the phenomenon of forced migration will form a sentimental sense that forms self-determination to define the next generation of ex-Laotian refugees' identity. Through Cultural Studies especially using ethnography, this research will examine how the identity of the next generation of ex-refugees is constructed through a series of nostalgia for their refugee places in Indonesia.KEYWORDS: refugees, next-generation, identity, structure of feeling

This flu affected nearly all the countries of the world with different degrees of medical, scientific, social and scholarly attentions. The humanities are not left out from the perspective of language and communication during the pandemic. In the light of the above, this paper undertakes a multimodal semiotic analysis of Covid-19 memes in the Nigerian context with a view to showing how the visual and language complement each other in communicating aspects of Nigerian socio-political realities during the pandemic. Among the images circulated through the Whatsapp medium, ten were selected for this study and Kress and van Leeuween’s (2006) multimodal theory was adopted as our theoretical framework. The findings revealed that language and visual images effectively complement each other as viewers are made to gain easy and quick access to the messages being communicated with a visual understanding of the realities on ground.KEYWORDS: covid-19 pandemic, multimodality, language, semiotics, memes, communicatio
