Al-Murtajal dan Al-Manqul dalam Serapan Bahasa Arab pada Nama-nama Masyarakat Indonesia dan Malaysia

2024-01-29T10:45:28+07:00

Arabic has made a major contribution to the development of the Malay language (Indonesia and Malaysia). The influence of Arabic can be seen from the large amount of vocabulary that has been absorbed and documented in books and dictionaries. Besides documented vocabulary, Arabic also influences the tradition of giving proper names among Indonesian and Malaysian people. However, data and analysis examining Arabic absorption names are still limited. This article aims to reveal and describe the phenomenon of absorption of al-'alam al-Murtajal and al-'alam al-Manqul, namely Arabic names and their vocabulary in the names of Indonesian and Malaysian people. This research is qualitative-descriptive, where the primary data sources are written documents and reviews of relevant literature. The results of this research show that the categories of Arabic names in the form of al-'alam al-Murtajal and al-'alam al-Manqul are absorbed and used in the names of Indonesian and Malaysian people. In the absorption process, there are two conditions, namely adoption and adaptation. The names included in al-'alam al-Murtajalwere adopted by the community without undergoing changes or shifts in terms of phonetics and spelling. Meanwhile, in al-'alam al-Manqul, adoption and adaptation processes coincide. Adopted names do not change, while adapted names change phonetics and spelling. As a result of this change, there is a semantic contradiction between the meaning of Arabic as a source language and the meaning desired by the absorbing community. Changes in letters and vowels can change the meaning from the perspective of the Arabic language, while these changes do not affect the desired meaning in the view of the people who absorb the name.

2024-03-21T04:02:15+07:00

This paper presents a critical analysis of “FLOWER AND KNIFE” by Ahmed Yasir Dhain. It was written in 2020. The play represents two couple of notions “love and hate” “flower and knife". Those notions are represented by the number of characters who reflect our views about life. The writer has shown contrastively those notions, which would be in contrastive till unknown time. The study is based on cognitive metaphor analysis, especially the conceptual metaphor. Since the analysis of conceptual metaphor has an important role in discovering the attended messages and the real meaning of the dramatic text through the mapping between the source domain and the target domain. It is also important to discover the ability of the writer to add some new concepts and change the existing ones. The study follows Kövecses' 2002 Conceptual Metaphor Model. It deals with the three types of cognitive metaphor, they are structural, orientational, and ontological. The study is qualitative, it attends to describe and analyze the data critically. It shows how different discourse structures can be critically analyzed by cognitive perceptions. The study aims to analyze the conceptual metaphor as a critical tool. It tries to discover the language's role in constructing concepts through using dramatic devices, especially conceptual metaphors. It aims to criticize the concepts of love, hate, flower, and knife and how they can influence our thoughts and construct new ones. It also aims to find out the connection between conceptual metaphor and critical discourse analysis. Based on the paper literature review and the result of data analysis, the study finds that the play is full of conceptual metaphor expressions which attend to a conceptual change. It shows that the conflict between love and hate is a conflict between man and woman in society. Women can be flowers and knives at the same time. The paper shows that the writer has used all the three types of conceptual metaphor in order to support the love purity which can destroy all hates.

Pengaruh Praktik Kerja Industri, Bimbingan Karir, Motivasi Memasuki Dunia Kerja dan Soft Skill terhadap Kesiapan Kerja

2024-04-05T12:43:08+07:00

Examining the influence of industrial work practice, career counseling, encouragement to enter the world of work, and soft skills on work preparation is the purpose of this study. The research population was all XII grade students of SMK N 5 Palembang totaling 400 people, a research sample of 129 was determined through the G*power program, data collection techniques using questionnaires and multiple regression (ARM) with the backward method assisted by SPSS 26 for data analysis. The test results for the R coefficient of multiple regression models provide a test statistical value of F = 27.148, and a p-value (Sig.) <0.001. The regression model test results show that the initial model with 4 independent variables is not significant in explaining variations in work readiness, then the backward ARM suggests an improved model by discarding variables (X3) and (X4), so that a standardized regression equation Y = 2.186 + 0.299X1 + 0.455X2 is obtained, and the value of R2 = 0.457. This can be interpreted that with a contribution of 45.7% industrial work practices and career counseling have a positive and important impact on work readiness. The research results indicate that career counseling activities and industrial work practices are very important in helping students prepare for the world of work competition after they graduate.
