http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/235
<p>The purpose of this article is to examine the provisions of Law No. 22 of 2009 that govern victims' compensation in the event of a traffic accident. In order to hasten the progress that will be made in society, traffic is a crucial mode of communication. The four primary causes of traffic accidents include elements related to nature, humans, roads, and vehicles. Most traffic accidents are caused by human error, therefore everyone, particularly the elderly, has to be extra careful on the road. Drivers are liable for damages caused by their illegal acts if another person is injured or dies as a result of their carelessness or negligence, as stated in Article 234 and 235 of Law No. 22 of 2009 about traffic and road transportation. Research in this publication that adheres strictly to stated rules is known as the normative approach. Reading, quoting, and studying documents such as legislation, journals, or other internet media constitute primary and secondary legal materials that the author employs in this work. Primary materials include those that pertain to Law No. 22 of 2009, while secondary materials include a variety of books, journals, and online sources. The author also conducts library studies to gather data. This study's findings clarify the distinction between traffic penalties and compensation, as well as the kind of legislation governing compensation</p>Debi Riski Aulia Putri, Sukmareni Sukmareni

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/243
<p><em>This reseach aims to examine the critical discourse in Emina’s skincare advertisement, specifically the Sunscreen SPF 35 – Bright Glow & Acne Clear 30s, through the application of Teun A. Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. Advertisements in the beauty industry often shape societal perceptions of beauty standards, influencing consumer behavior and emotional engagement. By applying Van Dijk’s model, this research examined three key dimensions: macrostructure (textual theme), superstructure (narrative structure), and microstructure (linguistic elements). This study uses a qualitative case study approach with data collected through observation and transcription of selected advertisements from YouTube. The findings revealed that the macrostructure emphasized skin protection against UV rays, promoting the product’s practicality and effectiveness. The superstructure presented a compelling narrative with orientation, complication, and reorientation stages to highlight product benefits. The microstructure analysis identified rhetorical devices such as code-switching, personification, and positive affirmations to enhance audience appeal. The study concluded that the advertisement not only marketed the product but also reinforced specific beauty ideals, linking clear, glowing skin to societal acceptance. This research provides insights into how advertisements influence youth perceptions and underscores the need for more inclusive beauty representations. </em></p>Yesa Sinaga, Miftahul Nurjanah Aritonang, Laras Siahaan, Indanian Nainggolan , Oky Fardian Gafari

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/261
<p><em>This study conducted a qualitative systematic literature review (SLR) to critically evaluate recent research on dividend policy, focusing on publications from 2021 to 2025. Using the PRISMA guidelines, the review identified and organized literature into three key categories: theoretical foundations, determinants of dividend decisions, and the outcomes of dividend policy on firm performance. The study highlighted the use of major theories such as Agency Theory, the Cost of Equity Hypothesis, and Signaling Theory, which continue to shape the understanding of dividend behavior. It also examined various internal factors—such as profitability, liquidity, and corporate governance—and external influences, including macroeconomic conditions and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, as significant determinants of dividend decisions. The review found that dividend policies have a notable impact on firm profitability, market valuation, and investor perception, especially in periods of uncertainty. Additionally, the study recognized a growing interest in how ESG considerations influence payout strategies. Future research directions include exploring the integration of ESG metrics into dividend models, examining the role of economic cycles and financial crises (e.g., COVID-19), and assessing the implications of technological advancements and digital finance on dividend strategies and broader corporate governance frameworks.</em></p>Tussi Sulistyowati, Khairil Anwar, Pardomuan Pardosi

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/262
<p><em>This research examines legal issues arising from business disputes in contractual agreements, specifically focusing on the Availability Payment (AP) Service Level Agreement (SLA) between PT Palapa Ring Barat and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics of the Republic of Indonesia. Disputes emerged due to differing interpretations of tax clauses, where PT Palapa Ring Barat demanded additional VAT (10%) on AP payments, while Kemenkominfo argued the payments already included VAT. This study employs a normative juridical method, analyzing primary sources such as BANI Decision No. 45016/II/ARB-BANI/2022 and relevant legal frameworks, including Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Findings indicate that arbitration plays a critical role as an effective, binding dispute resolution mechanism, as demonstrated by BANI's decision, which affirmed the validity of the agreement and ordered Kemenkominfo to pay additional VAT. The case highlights the importance of clear contractual clauses, particularly regarding taxation, to prevent disputes. In comparison, other dispute resolutions, such as mediation, are evident in cases like the collaboration between RSUD Mataram and CV. Ijen Perkasa on hospital information system management. This research contributes to the field by emphasizing the need for clear, comprehensive contracts and effective dispute resolution mechanisms. The findings provide insights for businesses and policymakers to develop contracts that minimize potential conflicts while promoting adherence to legal frameworks</em></p>Angkasa Ramatuan Hamdan, Enggar Adi Nugroho, Davin Takaryanto, Beni Ciptawan STP, Syahruddin Syahruddin, Happy Yulia Anggraeni

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/253
<p><em>Since the rise of the second wave of feminist movement, the contribution of women in professional fields has significantly increased. As women occupy these public roles, studies found that they can still adopt the distinct language, which Lakoff (1975) termed as women's language features. This research aimed to compare and analyze the use of these features among four popular professional public roles in the United States, namely, politician, businesswoman, lawyer, and artist. Furthermore, four figures are selected with consideration of one representative per each role. The figures were Kamala Harris, Indra Nooyi, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Selena Gomez, respectively. A qualitative method was employed, using interview transcripts and audio from YouTube videos. The analysis included all ten recognized features, such as lexical hedges, tag questions, intensifiers, empty adjectives, and others. These features were identified through close reading of the transcripts and careful listening to the audio, then categorized based on the original framework. The findings showed that there were variations in the frequency of feature occurrences across the roles. Moreover, the tendencies appeared to functioned the women's language features as a deliberate way to meet job requirements. </em></p>Aliya Syifa Kurnia, Yuyun Nurulaen, Ruminda Ruminda

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/268
<p><em>This study investigates how undergraduate students construct scholarly identity and express agency in academic writing through the use of modality and lexical choices. Drawing on a discourse analysis framework, the research analyzes a corpus of undergraduate essays from an English language education program, focusing on the strategic deployment of modal verbs, adverbs, evaluative language, and hedging devices. The analysis reveals that students vary in their ability to position themselves authoritatively in the academic discourse community. High-achieving students tend to use modality to balance assertion and caution, displaying nuanced control over epistemic stance and interpersonal engagement. In contrast, lower-achieving students often rely on assertive or vague expressions that limit dialogic interaction with potential readers. Additionally, lexical choices such as abstract nouns, nominalizations, and evaluative adjectives are found to be instrumental in shaping a credible scholarly persona. These findings underscore the importance of explicit instruction in linguistic features that construct academic voice and identity. The study contributes to the growing body of research on student writing by highlighting the role of language in mediating both personal agency and disciplinary alignment in academic discourse.</em></p>Zia Hisni Mubarak, Sipri Hanus Tewarat, Afriana Afriana

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/267
<p><em>This study investigates the application of positive politeness strategies in formal business correspondence written by native English speakers. The research is motivated by the increasing recognition of politeness as a pragmatic tool in maintaining professionalism and managing interpersonal relationships in written communication. Despite numerous studies on digital communication, there is limited analysis of how politeness strategies are systematically employed in conventional business letters. To address this gap, the study analyzes fifteen letters selected from the Oxford Handbook of Commercial Correspondence. Using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory and Nickerson’s (1999) typology of business letter components, the research focuses on elements such as salutations, contexts, pre-closes, closings, signatures, and enclosures. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with the referential identity technique applied to classify and interpret 121 instances of politeness strategies. The results show that the most frequent strategy was the use of appropriate forms of address (45 instances), followed by establishing common ground, expressing optimism, and asserting knowledge. These strategies appeared consistently across letter components, reflecting their dual function as both communicative and relational tools. The findings highlight the central role of linguistic politeness in reinforcing professionalism, fostering mutual respect, and encouraging future cooperation. This study concludes that positive politeness is not merely ornamental, but a vital rhetorical device in written business interaction. Future research may explore how these strategies vary across cultural contexts or adapt in digital business communications.</em></p>Afriana Afriana, Sipri Hanus Tewarat, Tomi Arianto, Lismalinda Lismalinda

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/238
<p><em>This inquiry endeavors to scrutinize contemporary breakthroughs in the realm of deep learning and their pragmatic utilizations within the educational sphere. To navigate prevailing impediments, the investigation is executed via a bibliographic examination. The deductions unveil that in recent epochs, artificial intelligence (AI) has undergone an expeditious proliferation. Endeavors formerly deemed exceedingly intricate and formidable for human cognition to unravel are now deftly managed with AI’s intervention. This extraordinary innovation has garnered substantial acclaim owing to its capacity to emulate the cognitive assimilation of the human intellect through neural architectures. Comprehensively, AI is presently categorized into two principal subdivisions: Deep Learning and Machine Learning. Both of these technological paradigms have been instrumental in engendering transformative shifts across multifarious sectors, with particular emphasis on pedagogy. AI-driven mechanisms are increasingly assimilated into scholastic establishments to bolster operational efficacy, curtail expenditures, and cultivate fiscal lucidity by furnishing a perspicuous delineation of monetary inflows and outflows. Furthermore, AI empowers institutions to address exigencies with heightened alacrity and precision, thereby augmenting the overarching caliber of didactic and administrative undertakings. Owing to its extensive promise, AI remains an indispensable domain of inquiry and implementation, with deep learning spearheading its relentless progression.</em></p>Alpino Susanto, Peri Yudianto, Faridah Rahmah, Pusvariauwaty Pusvariauwaty, Amanda Handya Putri, Suyito Suyito

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/283
<p><em>The role of culture in Indonesian society is extremely important as a manifestation of values and basic character in life, especially in the era of modernization which continues to develop without any boundaries. The cultural practices of communities in Eastern Indonesia and Lio-Ende in particular always show local characteristics in the form of traditions, expressions, customary sayings, and songs that contain meanings that represent thought patterns and even ways of life. Recent realities have become a challenge for the young generation of Lio-Ende who are already familiar with the rapid development of technology, such as information and communication technology, artificial intelligence, medical technology, and energy technology, which are characteristic of the modern era. On the other hand, this also has a significant impact on every aspect of their lives, potentially eroding local values and characteristics in the utilization of existing technology. This reality has led researchers to think it is essential to preserve and literate local values (customs and cultural values) to the younger generation through the Pero Jaji tradition. The objectives of this research are (1) To literate the younger generation about the importance of the Pero Jaji traditional agreement expression in Lio-Ende society as a manifestation of character and civilized entity. (2) To provide literacy books based on local wisdom (customs and cultural values). The method used in this research is a qualitative method conducted through direct observation, as it is based on an effort to understand and describe the intrinsic characteristics of phenomena that occur in Lio-Ende society. To achieve this, an ethnographic approach, in-depth interviews, document and cultural artifact analysis, surveys, and questionnaires are employed.</em></p>Patrisius Kami, Yakobus Lang Kelang Niron, Adi Iswani Habibah Ga’a

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/270
<p><em>This study analyzes the representation of solitude in Sapardi Djoko Damono's poem "Hujan di Bulan Juni" (Rain in June) through a structuralist approach. Its theoretical contribution lies in the systematic application of structural analysis to modern Indonesian lyrical poetry, revealing how intrinsic elements—diction, imagery, figures of speech, rhyme, and typography—interact to form a complex meaning of solitude. This analysis demonstrates how Sapardi's simplicity of language yields profound symbolic meaning, offering an objective interpretive framework free from purely subjective interpretations. Practically, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of Sapardi's work, particularly "Hujan di Bulan Juni," often considered a representation of solitude and sincerity. The relevance of the theme of solitude is examined within the Indonesian cultural context, specifically the values of inner resilience and humility that resonate strongly with the poem. This study fills a gap in structuralist studies of Sapardi's poetry and enriches the methodology of modern Indonesian literary analysis.</em></p>Putri Anggini, Muhammad Ripai, Nailah Faizah S Rambe, Azwa Khalisa Nasution, Husna Husna, Husna Husna, Dhea Amalia, Atika Wasilah

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/271
<p><em>This study aims to analyze the meaning implied in the short story Pantura by Danarto through semiotics approach Ferdinand de Saussure. Short stories as imaginative literary works contain messages of life conveyed through connotative language that often cannot be understood literally. In short stories Pantura, Danarto convey a variety of spiritual and social values through symbols and linguistic signs that are full of meaning. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with a case study approach to reveal the double meaning of the symbols used in the short story. Saussure's semiotic theory of sign as the result of the relationship between signifier and signified became fundamental in analysis. The results showed that the Pantura short story not only describes the flood disaster physically, but also a metaphor of a small apocalypse in life, a spiritual test, and a form of reflection on the social conditions of the community. The character “I” in the short story shows the attitude of firm faith and sincerity in accepting fate, which is inversely proportional to the attitude of modern society which tends to blame the situation when facing a disaster. Symbols such as weather, floods, rafts, and money are used to represent inner conflict, sincerity, and the wonders of God in people's lives. This research contributes to the study of literature by showing that the semiotic approach is able to reveal the depth of meaning in literary works, as well as being a reflection tool for readers to understand spiritual and human values in the current social context. Thus, this study enriches the reader's perspective in appreciating and interpreting literary works in greater depth.</em></p>Sri Syahputri, Tasya Amelia Saragi, Sani Hutabarat, Erika Cyntia P.

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/279
<p><em>This article analyzes the poem “Sia-Sia” by Chairil Anwar through a feminist literary approach to explore the representation of women and the inequality of gender relations depicted in the poem. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques focused on close reading of the text. The primary data source is the poem “Sia-Sia”, which is interpreted using feminist theories, particularly existentialist feminism that highlights how women are marginalized within patriarchal systems. The analysis reveals that the female figure is portrayed as someone who sacrifices and gives everything, only to be rejected without clear reason, while the male figure holds the dominant role in deciding the course of the relationship. This dynamic reflects emotional dominance and unequal power relations, where the woman remains in a subordinate and powerless position. This study contributes to Indonesian literary criticism by offering a new interpretative perspective on Chairil Anwar’s work and enriching feminist literary discourse by demonstrating how literature can reflect and critique social structures that marginalize women.</em></p>Difa Hartati, Regita Amelia, Sabrina Pramesuary Dwi Nanda, Shiwi Sulistyani, Syarafina Harahap, Yulisin Nazra, Atika Wasilah Sipayung

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/266
<p>Reading comprehension remains one of the biggest issues with second language (L2) learners, particularly due to a lack of vocabulary knowledge. This study addresses the role of morphological instructional methods to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition, particularly prefixes and suffixes via reading activities. Drawing on a literature review method, the research combines outcomes from a number of studies to identify effective morphological approaches that make it easy for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. It focuses on how morphological awareness—understanding word structure and formation—is capable of improving vocabulary comprehension and subsequently reading comprehension. The study also examines the role of inflectional and derivational morphemes in instructional settings, highlighting their ability to facilitate students to make inferences about word meaning, increase vocabulary, and produce greater levels of literacy. Results reveal that the integration of morphological strategies into instruction in the classroom not only enhances students’ language proficiency but also enhances reading motivation and engagement. The research concludes by recommending that English language educators incorporate explicit morphological instruction to support learners in decoding and constructing words effectively</p>Sipri Hanus Tewarat, Afriana Afriana

http://idebahasa.or.id/escience/index.php/home/article/view/269
<div><em><span lang="EN-US">This study investigates the use of symbolism in Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and its function in constructing the poem’s central theme. Employing a semiotic analysis grounded in Peirce’s theory of signs, the research identifies and interprets fifteen symbolic elements distributed across the poem’s four stanzas. These symbols such as “two roads,” “yellow wood,” “grassy path,” and “sigh” convey the psychological and philosophical dimensions of decision-making, uncertainty, and the retrospective construction of meaning. Findings demonstrate that Frost’s poetic imagery serves not only as aesthetic expression but also as a medium for exploring existential concerns. The study highlights how literary symbols can effectively mediate complex human experiences and offers insight into the cognitive and emotional processes behind life choices. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of symbolic narrative in poetry and encourage further semiotic research within literary studies.</span></em></div>Nafdi Irawan, Afriana Afriana
