Language Barrier: Theory of Truth in Intercultural EFL

This paper elaborates the explanation of an incorrect and misconceptionunderstanding of meaning in teaching English as a foreign language inIndonesia. This research is conducted with a discussion consisting of logicalreasoning about the detailed explanation as a method to deal with the issue.It was done by cross-checking and reviewing eclectically from dissimilarsources in the related field of study as well. Moreover, the discussion andresult are affirmed and evaluated by utilizing the relevant existing studiesand research. The scoop and limitation in this study are that the subject isreferring to the Indonesian students that learn the English language as aforeign language in formal education school.The study found that this phenomenon is happening because of thepedagogical need based on the standard formal education school curriculumin Indonesia that focusing English as a communication language rather thananything else. A teacher neither needs nor bother to explain the languagein a deeper sense of meaning and only teaches what is necessary for thestudent requirement. This makes the English language used in Indonesianschools lose its true meaning and understanding because of the differencein intercultural understanding. This mostly happens in a school that useslocalized English that has been adapted in our culture and habits as foreignspeakers. Hence some vocabularies and phrases end up being simplified toreduce teacher time effort to explain further about language meaning andtruth

However, withthe development of technological and scientific advances, people began toshift their orientation to technology and science and leave religious beliefs.It is undeniable that as a result of this, religious people are discredited,isolated, and often become objects of violence, especially by atheists andliberalists. Origin by Dan Brown depicts many incidents and religiousviolence perpetrated by atheists and liberalists. The conflict betweenatheist and religious people makes the novel complicated and interested toread and study. The purpose of this study is to (1) determine the kinds ofviolence, and (2) to determine the causes of violence in the Origin by DanBrown.

It has been emphasized that metaphors in general are crucial forcomprehending and interpreting ecological discourse. Numerous studieson Yorùbá proverbs have been conducted (Jelili et al., 2022; Akanbi, 2020;Anyachebelu, 2019; Olofinsao, 2018; Faleye, 2018; Ojo, 2015; Akanbi,2015, etc.), but insufficient research has been done on human-flora-faunasymbiosis, particularly in Yorùbá proverbs. This study uses ecocriticalmetaphor analysis to look at the symbiosis of humans, plants, and faunain Yorùbá proverbs. The study focuses on how, according to the Yorùbáworldview, particular plants and animals are used to symbolise varioushuman experiences, actions, and traits in Yorùbá proverbs. We use thetransitivity system from the Systemic Functional Linguistics approach toeco-critical discourse analysis, along with Lakoff and Johnson’s ConceptualMetaphor Theory (CMT) to explore human experiences with naturethrough process types and illustrate the metaphorical “mapping” acrossthe conceptual domain. Other human experiences are conceptualised asthe target domain through the lens of flora and animals, which serve as thesource domain. Both primary and secondary sources of information werecarefully selected for this article. The study discovers that Yorùbá proverbsuse metaphors of animals such as dogs, cows, chameleons, doves, andeagles as well as woods and trees like iróko and mahogany, to warn peopleagainst negative attitudes towards the ecosystem, like destruction, laziness,intolerance, and impatience among others. For harmonious coexistence inthe ecosystem, the proverbs urge humans to behave well toward nature.According to the results of the transitivity analysis, the detected processchoices in the data can be seen as a positive discourse that motivates peopleto conserve the environment

Cultural Transmission through the TikTok Application, Study on Pop Minang as a Local Language Song

This article aims to explain how cultural transmission occurs in the flowof globalization through the TikTok application. The culture is referred toas Minangkabau culture. People identifying themselves as Minangkabaupopulate the contemporary Indonesian province of West Sumatra and arefound in immigrant communities throughout the archipelago, Malaysia,Australia, and further afield, and they are known for their Islamic piety,matrilineal kinship system, astute trading abilities, proclivity to migrate,democratic practices, and spicy food (Fraser J. A., 2015, p. 3). Thisresearch focuses on Pop Minang, a genre of regional language songs usedin content on the TikTok application. Songs that are broadcast on the socialmedia application TikTok also become transmitters of traditional culturefor the younger generation in that culture and even the cultures of otherpeoples. The results of this study are in contrast to previous studies, whichclaim that TikTok and globalization have a negative impact on the youngergeneration (Kurniawan, 2018; Sairin, 2004) and support the opinion thatglobalization is a process of glocalization or the interaction and mergerbetween local cultures and global processes (Turner, 2015, p. 5)

Emotions vs Colours: A Semiotics Study

This study aims to determine the meaning and relationship of colourwith five human emotions in the film entitled Inside Out. Inside Out is anAmerican animated film directed by Pete Docter and produced by JonasRivera, released in 2015. The qualitative method is used to evaluate thisresearch because it can be used to focus on an interpretive, naturalisticapproach to its subject matter. The primary data is taken from the filmInside Out. Secondary data would be gathered from any sources related tosemiotics theory on the relationship between colour and human emotions,as well as to eliminate unnecessary data and solidify the research. RileyAndersen, the main character, was born in Minnesota, and the fivemanifestations of emotion in her mind are Joy (yellow), Sadness (blue),Anger (red), Disgust (green), and Fear (purple). These emotions reside inRiley’s mind’s Headquarters, where they set Riley’s state of action andturn it into a memory.Therefore, each character with a specific color ischallenging to be studied further.It begins with an overview of each colorand emotion before delving into the specifics of the relationship betweenthese emotions and the colors associated with them. This study employsRoland Barthes’ semiotic theory, which has three aspects containingdenotation, connotation, and myth, interpreting signs. To learn more, it isnecessary to dig into the changing history of society’s association of thesecolors with these five emotions. Finally, this study is hoped to inspire theanimators to use specific colors to describe the characters’ emotions
