English Native Speakers and Indonesian Speakers’ Concept of Verb 'Increase': A Corpus-Based Lexical Semantic Approach
Full text linkIn conveying meaning, most Indonesian speakers still struggle in determining collocations properly, particularly for words that have the same denotative meaning in English. This research aims to reveal the English native speakers’ and the Indonesian speakers’ concept of verb ‘increase’. The semantic field in this study is based on syntagmatic relations or what is called collocation. The research method in this research adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches with descriptive and comparative methods and corpus linguistic methodological approach. The research data comes from digital texts in the field of economics of British students (British Academic Written English/ BAWE) and independent digital texts containing articles from Sinta 2 accredited national journals (Indonesian Economic Written English/ IEWE). The results show that the concept of the verb increase used by English native speakers is identical with Indonesian speakers that represents the spatial concept 'up'. Comprehending the concept, therefore, will enable Indonesian speakers to improve their comprehension of English VN collocations, as well as the accuracy of the VN collocations
Exploring Negative Judgment Language in Indonesian Conversational Language on Facebook: An Appraisal Analysis
Full text linkThis research examines the use of negative judgment expressions within the framework of appraisal theory across four Facebook fan pages: Kata Kita (KK), Media Oposisi (MO), Mak Lambe Turah (LT), and Rakyat Oposisi (RO). The methods employed are discourse analysis and quantitative content analysis. Discourse analysis focusing on appraisal analysis is used to explore the evaluative language used in these social media accounts. Findings indicate a prevalent tendency for implicit judgment, with each clause element serving as a potential marker of negative judgment. In the dimension of Engagement, pronouncement expressions are not limited to reported speech; instead, they are often marked by specific lexical elements, including -lah, mah, -nih, -loh, among others. Furthermore, in terms of graduation, these pages employ pragmatic meaning repetition in addition to lexical and semantic repetition. These results suggest that Indonesian evaluative language possesses distinctive characteristics that diverge from English evaluative language, as outlined in Martin and White`s appraisal theory. Quantitative content analysis is used to examine the comparison of patterns or tendencies in the use of evaluative language across Facebook accounts. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of cultural distinctions in the evaluative language styles found in social media discourse
