LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET ORIENTATION: A CRITIQUE OF BUDGET POLICY

This study aims to determine the orientation of the budget in the process of preparing and determining local government budgets. The research was conducted by the local government of Gorontalo City. Habermas’s communicative action theory approach as part of the critical approach was chosen as the method in this research to capture the reality of budget orientation in the preparation and determination of local government budgets. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants in this study were from BAPPEDA, members of BANGGAR, and several officials from offices related to regional finance as many as 10 people.This study finds that the act of compromise in the communication pattern of local government administration on budget policies is motivated by political interests. Budget policy decisions are dominated by the power possessed by actors to determine budget priorities. Communication practice is characterized by negotiation and compromise and ignores the value of honesty as a prerequisite for validity to fulfill comprehensive aspects of communication competence (truth, accuracy, honesty). Communication that is built only because of interest as the cause of communicative action is not effective. The results of the study show that the shackles of communication harmony are the basis for consideration for making policy changes by prioritizing rationality to gain legitimacy and trust from the public to government administrators.

EUPHEMISMS IN INDONESIAN AND MANDARIN LANGUAGES: A CONTRASTIVE LINGUISTICS ANALYSIS

This study describes and compares euphemisms in Indonesian and Mandarin. The research is qualitative and applies a contrastive approach. Data was collected by listening and taking notes and the analysis was conducted by comparative-contrastive description. The results show that there are fourteen realms in comparing Indonesian and Mandarin euphemisms. Further, euphemisms manifest themselves in words, terms, phrases and clauses in these two languages. Euphemisms are used to add politeness and promote harmony in communication – perks of using euphemisms include conflict-mitigation and corroboration of one’s cultural identity. Understanding euphemisms helps foreign students speak better Indonesian in keeping with their own cultural framework.

Exploring the Irony in Japanese Popular Culture. A Cross-Cultural and Linguistic Analysis.

The present study addresses the status and use of irony in Japanese popular culture by closely examining its’ cultural variations on a corpus consisting of ironic utterances and situations from three popular culture media: Japanese drama, anime, and manga. While it is likely that Western popular culture abounds in ironic aesthetics and standpoints, the concept of “irony” faces cultural reconstruction within Japanese culture and society, a fact easily reflected in national media and cinematographic productions. In such cases, the cultural and linguistic distance between Japanese and English, and the striking difference, which exists between these two geographical and cultural contexts, increase the challenge interposed by the understanding and interpreting of irony. Moreover, on a conversational level, ironizing one’s communication partner is considered socially unacceptable and penalised accordingly. It stands against the much-expected politeness and traditional Japanese concepts such as “honne” and “tatemae,” which, if preserved, can create harmony in communication. In conclusion, the ambiguous definition of irony, together with the negative perception and reluctance of Japanese people towards its usage, has contributed to frequently branding irony strictly as a Western phenomenon. However, as the present research attempts to demonstrate, the usage of irony in Japanese popular culture embraces multifarious approaches, and it extends to reach the borders of semantics.

Targeted radiofrequency treatment - Oncothermia application in nononcological diseases as special physiotherapy to delay the progressive development

Oncothermia (OTM) is based on electromagnetic interactions with the living matter. Its nano-targeting approach [establishes a new paradigm, which could be applied not only in case of malignancies but in other diseases, when the non-selective conditions [are valid. This technique is well proven from the laboratory level to the clinical applications. Oncothermia method ignites the natural processes to eliminate them from the system, re-establishing the communication harmony between the cells. This method will lead us to the treatment of some non-malignant diseases too. Our aim is to use OTM on the common basis of equilibrium demand; and use the recognition of the deviations from the complex harmony of the organism or its part for selection to act properly. Study protocol and Method- Oncotherm was successfully applied for Lyme-disease for low-back pain, for Peyronie disease, and for Dupuytren’s contracture, too. We made more extended study, proving in details the applicability of the OTM in these diseases, especially in the situations when traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is also applicable. Our special permanent acupuncture method well fits to the complementary applications.

The Cooperative Principle: Is Grice’s Theory Suitable to Indonesian Language Culture?

Article discussed how native speakers of Indonesian observed Grice’s maxims. One hundred conversations contributed in live talk show from varied Indonesia television channels were analysed. The results show that Grice’s maxims are fulfilled in many conversations. Nevertheless, in other situations, two kinds of non-fulfilment of the maxims are observed. First, the speaker deliberately exploits a maxim, which is suitable to Grice’s theory. Second, the speaker fails to observe but does not exploit a maxim, which leads to some interpretations of the cultural patterns of the Indonesian language: communicative politeness, high context culture and the needs of harmony in communication that are considered as the manifesting of Indonesian culture.

FOLLOW-UP RESPONSES TO REFUSALS BY INDONESIAN LEARNERS OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract: The study is aimed at investigating strategies of follow-up responses to refusals performed by Indonesians learning English as a foreign language. Having known that his/her desire or want is refused by his/her hearer, a speaker may provide a follow-up response to the refusal to maintain the flow of a talk exchange. This act may also mitigate the tension and is able to prevent the speaker from being considered impolite or non-cooperative. The study involves 20 students of the English Education Department of Indonesia University of Education. The data were collected through Discourse Completion Tests (DCTs). The collected data were then analyzed by using the framework proposed by Searle (1969), Blum-Kulka et al. (1989), and Aziz (2000). It is found that the respondents manifest the follow-up responses in a number of ways, which can be categorized as request, acceptance, apology, promise, refusal, and passive comment. These responses contain some strategies. While the category of request and refusal are manifested in six and two strategies respectively, the categories of acceptance, apology, promise, and passive comment are not further divided into finer categories because they only consist of illocutionary force indicating devices (IFIDs). This study concludes that an act of providing a follow-up response cannot be separated from the speaker’s attempt to maintain harmony in communication.

Reclaiming Indigenous Intellectual, Political, and Geographic Space: A Path for Navajo Nationhood

The tribal governance standards of the past are not obsolete. They were focused on maintaining the health and wellness of every member of the community. Safety, health, wellness and protection were facilitated, not by dominance, confrontation, conflict and coercion, but by ethics, communication, cooperation and reverence for the creator and the laws of nature. To continue to preserve our cultural strengths in self-governance, we must renew our cultural teaching and restructure our tribal government according to the spiritual values of the Holy People and our ancestors because our children deserve balanced living, harmony in communication, peace in the family, beauty in the environment and joy with our hearts, homes, and communities.
