The method of presenting the results of data analysis uses Formal methods in the form of parentheses (( )) and Informal methods. The result of this research shows the violation of four maxims of cooperation principle, with the number of them are: 1) violation of quantity maxim 40 utterances; 2) violation of quality maxim 4 utterances; 3) violation of relevance maxim 35 utterances; and 4) violation of manner maxim 2 utterances. The use of dialog that violates the principle of cooperation created by the author aims to create an interesting conflict and also provide tension in a story. This also appears to be related to the theme in the drama script which is a tragedy. So as to create interesting dynamics by deliberately violating the maxim of quantity in order to provide a high effect of tension and curiosity by violating the maxim of relevance.</p> Nadila Urningsih Mochammad Asyhar Muh.

Hashtag wars, a prevalent phenomenon, witness divergent groups utilizing hashtags to promote their agendas and express viewpoints. Within the political realm, these hashtag battles often serve as arenas for discourse and mass mobilization. This study aimed to unveil the framing strategies employed in the hashtag war between <em>#2019GantiPresiden</em> and <em>#DiaSibukKerja</em> on social media. Utilizing a content analysis approach, the research scrutinizes hashtag usage, conveyed messages, and user responses. Various framing techniques, including episodic and thematic framing, alongside positive and negative framing, are analyzed. Moreover, the research explores the influence of social media usage and user interactions on the dissemination of political messages during hashtag wars. Findings indicate the dominance of <em>#2019GantiPresiden</em> in the social media hashtag war. The framing strategies and political discourse of both hashtags serve distinct purposes. <em>#2019GantiPresiden</em> utilizes sentiment-driven or provocative language to highlight dissatisfaction with Jokowi's leadership, while <em>#DiaSibukKerja</em> underscores Jokowi's achievements, emphasizing stability and success. In terms of hashtag impact, <em>#2019GantiPresiden</em> effectively influences public opinion and garners widespread support. Conversely, <em>#DiaSibukKerja</em> succeeds in portraying Jokowi's leadership positively. The practical implications of this research can aid stakeholders in politics and social media to comprehend effective framing techniques for disseminating political messages through digital platforms.</p> Nawiruddin Nawiruddin Sirojuddin Aly Agus Nugraha Siska Armawati Sufa M Wiranata Pratama Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 10 1 228 247 10.55637/jr.10.1.9363.228-247 Investigating the Attitude on Blended Learning Adaptability among Nursing Faculty Students https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/9441 <p>Recent decades have witnessed substantial transformations in education, particularly with the advent of information and communication technology. Among the notable innovations is blended learning (BL), increasingly adopted as a mainstream approach for foreign language education in higher institutions, particularly for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) classes catering to working students. This paper addresses the growing prominence of blended learning in nursing programs, combining traditional face-to-face instruction with online components. Despite its rise, there remains a gap in understanding how nursing faculty and students perceive and adapt to BL compared to traditional methods. This study investigates students' attitudes towards BL in Nursing Faculty, comparing RPL and regular class students. Employing quantitative research with a survey design, the study likely included closed-ended and Likert scale questions to gauge respondents' attitudes.

This study delved into the depiction of speech and thought in the "Frozen" Storybook, an adaptation of Disney's 2013 film. Employing a non-participant descriptive qualitative methodology, the research analyzes internet-accessible data, employing the framework proposed by Leech and Short (2007), categorizing speech and thought into ten distinct categories. The analysis uncovers eight presentation types across twenty-two instances, with speech representation occurring twelve times and thought representation ten times. Predominant categories include IS (Indirect Speech), FIT (Free Indirect Thought), and NRTA (Narrative Report of Thought and Action), each appearing four times. Additionally, FDS (Free Direct Speech), DS (Direct Speech), FIS (Free Indirect Speech), and IT (Indirect Thought) occur three or two times, while NRSA (Narrative Report of Speech Act) occurs once. Notably, DT (Direct Thought) and FDT (Free Direct Thought) are absent. Analyzing speech and thought presentation in children’s storybooks yields insights into characters' communication and cognition, aiding readers, particularly children, in understanding motivations, emotions, and personalities. Furthermore, it fosters language development and enhances comprehension skills by exposing young readers to diverse presentation forms. Additionally, it contributes to literary analysis by elucidating authors' stylistic choices and their storytelling impacts. Ultimately, examining speech and thought presentation enhances both reading experiences and scholarly discourse on children’s literature.</p> Putu Mayra Elke Shafira Ni Made Diana Erfiani Yohanes Octovianus L.

These three languages are grouped according to the results of the calculation of the percentage of similar languages made by Fernandez (1996). Data was collected through secondary data collection from pre-existing datasets, including field notes and dictionaries. Direct interviews with native speakers representing each language strengthen secondary data with more in-depth information. The analysis revealed that there are similar patterns found in full reduplication accompanied by changes in vowel phonemes as in <em>laki-lako</em> 'going everywhere' in Manggarai, <em>zupak-zapaq</em> 'hassle' in Rembong, and <em>cuki-cake</em> 'naughty' in Komodo. Partial reduplication, on the other hand, generally takes the form of adding or removing final phonemes in repeated words, for example, <em>bingi-bangas</em> 'dull-witted' in the Manggarai Language, <em>daki-dekang</em> 'helping each other' in the Rembong Language, and <em>hipi-hapek</em> 'going here and there' in Komodo Language. The Rembong Language has a distinctive partial reduplication, the presence of rhyme sounds at the beginning as in <em>ghali-ghewe</em> 'miserable life' and at the end of words as in <em>kameq-mok</em> 'sucks'. Partial reduplication in Komodo Language only involves the repetition of the initial syllable as in <em>kekaro</em> <em>(karo-karo)</em> 'walkings'. It is hoped that this research can be a reference for further research to explore more deeply reduplication in the MRK Language, either refuting the results in this research or supporting it by providing more data</p> Salahuddin Salahuddin Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-04-02 2024-04-02 10 1 293 305 10.55637/jr.10.1.6345.293-305 Indonesia The Application of Problem Based Learning to the Writing Ability of News Texts of Grade XI Students https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/9421 <p>The experimental method was employed in this study to compare the treatment effects between different research groups.

While regional languages are predominantly used in peer interactions for better mutual understanding, Indonesian is more frequently employed in teacher-student interactions, particularly when answering questions. Despite teachers' efforts to promote the use of Indonesian, regional languages persist in informal settings. This study underscores the dynamic relationship between regional languages and Indonesian, highlighting the necessity for language policies that support multilingualism within educational settings</p> Asrining Mei Christin Halawa Arozatulo Bawamenewi Miseri Cordias Palamarta Gulo Fajar Iman Waruwu Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-10 2024-06-10 10 1 390 395 10.55637/jr.10.1.9742.390-395 An Analysis of Inflectional and Derivational Affixes of the Students’ Academic Writing https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/9751 <p>This study investigates the use of inflectional and derivational affixes in the academic writing of second–year English students, identifying the challenges they face in applying these linguistic elements. Using qualitative methods, specifically content analysis, this study examined a sample of 30 students' writings from the 2021C class. The analysis identified a total of 172 affixes: 122 inflectional suffixes, 36 derivational suffixes, and 14 derivational prefixes. Inflectional suffixes, particularly irregular forms, were predominantly used, while derivational affixes primarily served to change grammatical classes, with "–ly" being the most common. Students encountered several challenges, such as errors in inflectional suffix usage (e.g., omission of plural markers and subject–verb agreement issues) and difficulties with derivational affixes (e.g., omissions and incorrect usage of "–ing," "–ment," "–able," "–re," "–un"). These problems were attributed to confusion between bound and free morphemes, forgetfulness, and a lack of awareness. The study recommends tailored teaching strategies, including targeted exercises, detailed explanations, and ample practice opportunities, to improve students' proficiency with affixes, thereby enhancing the quality and clarity of their academic writing</p> Stanislaus Guna Irene Nindiana Lehon Maksimilianus Sapong Angelus Rico Sambora Yohanes Tresno Kurnianto Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-11 2024-06-11 10 1 396 408 10.55637/jr.10.1.9751.396-408 Teacher Creativity in Developing Canva-Based Language Learning Media https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/9750 <p>This study aims to examine and enhance teacher creativity in developing Canva-based language learning media at SMK Negeri 3 ALasa. Specifically, it seeks to understand how such media can be designed to better engage students and improve learning outcomes. This research employs a Research and Development (R&amp;D) approach using the 4D model, which includes four stages: Define (identifying needs and goals), Design (planning the media structure and content), Develop (creating and refining the media), and Disseminate (sharing the final product). The learning media were evaluated by a team of media and material experts, focusing on criteria such as visual appeal, multimedia integration, and content customization. The teachers' creativity is evidenced by the attractive visual design, varied multimedia elements, and tailored content that meets students' needs. The media achieved an 88% effectiveness score from user testing and a 92% validation score from material experts. These findings underscore the importance of integrating technology like Canva in creating innovative and engaging learning experiences. This approach not only enhances student understanding but also empowers teachers to explore creative teaching methods. The high validation scores indicate that the Canva-based learning media are effective and well-received, demonstrating significant teacher creativity and potential for broader application in educational settings.</p> Yanida Bu’ulolo Ikhlas Carlan Hulu Foster Herwin Laia Aventrius Zebua Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-11 2024-06-11 10 1 409 414 10.55637/jr.10.1.9750.409-414 An Analysis of Politeness Maxims in the Movie “The Adventure of Tintin” https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/8097 <p>This study explored the types of politeness maxims that the main characters utilized and investigated the factors that influenced their use.&nbsp; The data were collected through focusing on observing main character specially "Tintin" interactions and circumstances during communication, with simultaneous notetaking to record pertinent instances of politeness maxims and use qualitative method. This methodology employs a data-driven approach, wherein data is initially gathered and subsequently analyzed to ascertain its relevance to a specific politeness maxim. Transcriptions were created based on the dialogues exchanged between the characters. In this study, analyze the politeness maxims observed in character interactions and dialogues within "The Adventure of Tintin." Drawing upon theories proposed by Leech, Holmes, and Wardaugh, reveal the tact and agreement maxims as the most frequently employed. This analysis demonstrates their significant role in shaping positive communication, character interactions, cultural nuances, and thematic elements within the film.

By comparing these two languages, we aim to highlight their similarities and differences in the use and formation of interjections. This analysis is limited to a morphological review to prevent overlap with topics related to verb types and verb formation processes. Utilizing both descriptive qualitative research methodology and comparative-contrast descriptive methodology, we systematically compare the interjection morphology in both languages. The methodologies differ in their application: the descriptive qualitative approach involves detailed observations and descriptions of interjection usage, while the comparative-contrast approach focuses on identifying and analyzing the distinctions and similarities between the languages. The primary data source comprises example sentences created by the researcher, ensuring linguistic acceptability. The researcher's specific tasks include selecting relevant sentences, analyzing their morphological structures, and categorizing the interjections. Data collection encompasses the specific interjection systems of each language, and each grammatical category's realization is examined. Contrasts are drawn based on the analysis outcomes after thorough data collection.</p> Nila Riana Harahap Rina Devianty Copyright (c) 2024 RETORIKA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-15 2024-06-15 10 1 424 430 10.55637/jr.10.1.9768.424-430 Beyond the Surface: Investigating Concealed Meanings in Drug Posters through Semiotic Analysis https://www.ejurnal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/jret/article/view/7207 <p>Drug posters are intricate communicative artifacts that carry hidden connotations, myths, and ideologies.
