Sufi Healing dan Neuro Linguistic Programming: Studi Terapi pada Griya Sehat Syafaat (GRISS) 99 Semarang

This study is about Sufi healing, which focuses on behaviors related to Sufi healing in the prevention of diseases, both physically and non-physically caused by various problems faced by humans. According to the Sufi perspective, the problem is rooted in the heart. Therefore, healing is emphasized in the health of the heart, through takhall?, ta?all? and tajall? with training (riy??ah) and earnest (muj?hadah) by the murshid or therapist. In this process, therapists use Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a technique to facilitate the incorporation of Sufi values. This type of research is qualitative. The method of analysis uses descriptive-qualitative. data sourced from GRISS 99 Semarang. The results of this study are the application of the NLP technique as a Sufi healing technique that aims to purify the soul, through takhall?, ta?all? and tajall?, as the key to meaningfulness of life.

The Mechanism of Implicature and Inference as Influenced by Primary Stimuli

Abstract This paper attempts to explain language as a process of meaning creation by a speaker (implicature) and meaning disambiguation by a hearer (inference) at the basis of which there is a complex mechanism of reality perception, internalization and verbalization. This mechanism of implicature/inference is studied from two interconnecting perspectives: Conversation Analysis and Neuro Linguistic Programming. While the former investigates the function of the utterance in context, the latter explores the way speakers and hearers internalize reality depending on how they see, hear and feel the world around them.

Lie Recognition using Eye Patterns

The recognition of lie done by a person could be identified by various facial gestures, such as the reaction of the eye blinks to different situations, and also in the case of a lie as proposed by the NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming) theory. These patterns could be identified by using statistical tools such as SVM(Support Vector Machine), PCA(Principal Component Analysis) and LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation). This paper proposes lie detection technique using Python programming language based on the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) algorithm based on the eye images.

Inferring Opinions and Behavioral Characteristics of Gay Men with Large Scale Multilingual Text from Blued

Gay men in many countries are increasingly using geosocial networking applications (GSN apps), thus offering new opportunities for understanding them. This paper provides a comprehensive content analysis of posts and opinions on Blued, the world’s largest gay social networking dating app, to infer and compare opinions and behavioral characteristics of gay men in different countries. Machine learning and linguistic programming approaches were used to extract themes and analyze sentiments of posts. The results show that the majority of posts are related to daily life activities, and less are related to sensitive topics. While most posts are positive or neutral, negative emotions, including anxiety, anger, and sadness, are mainly distributed in posts related to self-identification and sexual behaviors in China and to relationships in other countries. Voting items indicate that only 50.52% of the participants will take regular HIV tests while 50.2% would have casual sex when they are single. Additionally, 35.8% of the participants may try drugs when invited by friends. Our findings suggest an opportunity and necessity for researchers and public health practitioners to use open source data on GSN apps and other social medias to inform HIV interventions and to promote social inclusion for sexual minorities.

Teaching vocabulary by using English kid songs for the 3rd grade students of Linguistic Class Program (LCP) at MI Muhammadiyah 1 Pare – Kediri

Abstract
 English cannot be separated from vocabulary learning, because it is a very important aspect in language skills in addition to aspects of speaking, listening and writing. In this case, the vocabulary is not only used for communication it can also improve English skills such as writing, speaking and listening skills. Lacking vocabulary is the reason why English is difficult to master. The students have been studying English for long time with the several methods, but they do not have an adequate vocabulary in English. Descriptive qualitative method is used by the researcher as research design. This research is intended to find out the descriptive outcome of the collected data and the interpretation of which as the conclusion to know how the curriculum, syllabus and implementation of teaching. The response of students toward the teaching of vocabulary process was consist of three terms, they are students’ difficulties, students’ perception on teaching learning process, and the advantages which can be taken by following this class. The first was about students’ difficulties, students had the problem in pronouncing and memorizing the vocabulary. The second was about their perception in teaching learning process. Generally the students enjoy this program because the teacher always asks the students to sing a song together. The students really like learning while singing a song. Even though they had some problems in the class; they liked this program because it gave them advantage to prepare themselves to build their vocabulary. By following this program, it increased their knowledge about vocabulary.
 Key word: Teaching Vocabulary, English Kid’s Song.

The Relevance of Applied Linguistics in Relation to Language and Communication Studies: A Worldwide Overview

Abstract The paper outlines the peculiarities of Applied Linguistics as a branch of science and specialty provided by universities worldwide. Its scope, relevance in modern labour market and immediate relation to communication and language studies have been analyzed. Its advantages as a flourishing educational program for tertiary education and as an occupation in modern digital world with diverse realms of communication and language application have been substantiated. A wide range of activities pressuposed by Applied Linguistics study have been outlined: researching language in classrooms (classroom-based research); work with different kinds of written and spoken texts (corpus linguistics); approaching language learning (learner autonomy); testing and assessment of language learning; expanding vocabulary (including multiword expressions); dictionary making; interpretation and translation; studies of bilingualism and multilingualism. It has been determined that five most important concepts are basic for understanding the relation of Applied Linguistics to language and communication studies: Functional Linguistics, Language and its Application, Communicative Competence; Cognitive Discourse Analysis, Conceptual Blending Theory, and Contemporary Discourse Analysis; Barriers in Specialized Translation fields and their overcoming (by means of technology); Linguistics and Culture; Language hierarchy, authority, policy, and planning. Applied Linguistics program in tertiary education provides students with necessary studies in relation to language and communication in terms of language communication, its components, conditions of successful communication and cooperation; language etiquette; speech codes, their switching and mixing; speech acts and their types; context of culture, situation and co-texts; assembling and working with corpora; researching collocations and units of meaning. Undergoing the program of Applied Linguistics in tertiary education students can broaden knowledge of linguistics and language; deal with contemporary issues concerning the diversity of languages and cultures in societies; learn and teach foreign languages; eliminate language and communication gaps between people of different cultures; enhance the development of languages and communication skills.

A Neuro Linguistic Programming’s modelling process for the development of and guidance to congregations: An adaptive ministry

Several congregations in the workspace of the Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa are losing viability and sustainability. This can be attributed to various factors, the most prominent being isolation. Isolation is defined here as the inability of some congregations to move away from maintenance and an inward focus towards making necessary adjustments on the way to a dimension of missional focus. While commitment and enthusiasm are present in the work of all congregations, some find it difficult to adapt their established ideas and in some cases obsolete customs and traditions. Other congregations have made the necessary adjustments by defining themselves as missional. In congregations where constructive change occurs, the focus moves to undertake congregational ministries. The congregation not only gains insight into their own situation but also becomes aware of God’s calling for that specific congregation within a specific context. The focus shifts from their own situation and needs to the needs and challenges of the context surrounding the specific congregation. A consequence of this change in focus is that the whole ministry of the congregation adjusts accordingly. These congregations discover their own unique spirituality and begin to ask: For whom do we exist? The article is based on a PhD thesis, where Osmer’s four questions of practical theology were brought into the conversation with the modelling process of neuro-linguistic programming, in an attempt to sojourn with congregations towards a contextual missional focus. This research was undertaken to expand Osmer’s four questions of practical theology by using the modelling process of neuro-linguistic programming so that congregations may succeed in making the necessary adjustments.

Role of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in Training and Development of Employees

The employees of any organization are its biggest asset, and how they perform impacts the success of that organization. It is no surprise to see organizations and businesses to boost the quality of their employees or human capital. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is fast emerging as an accessible technology to develop intense training to help and train the employees to understand themselves, their peers, their seniors, and the customers both professionally and personally. The purpose behind is to improve their working relationships and achieve the desired outcomes so that their company can get a leading edge in the competitive environment. NLP focuses on communication and behavior changes to influence employees in different fields and organizations. NLP techniques are effective in achieving business intelligence and build human capital. An average employee is expected to be an expert with interpersonal communication along with carrying other skills and talents. NLP turns the employee into a skilled professional with effective communication skills and high order thinking skills. The paper discusses how NLP techniques can help in the development of employees and train them to execute behaviors that can help them achieve higher personal and professional goals.

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING OF STUDENTS’ RHETORICAL LOGOSPHERE IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING ELOQUENCE

The innovative problem of neuro-linguistic programming, which relates to the rhetorical logosphere, reflects the dynamic picture of the world. The research is based on the works on neuro-linguistic programming of such American scholars as John Grinder, Richard Bandler, Robert Dilts and others. On this basis, interest in the interaction of brain and speech activity has spread, which has a beneficial effect on the rhetorical logosphere. Certain processes of realization of neural linguistic programming of the rhetorical logosphere during the study of rhetoric are shown. The research presents definitions of important concepts such as “neurolinguistics”, “programming”, “neuro-linguistic programming”, “logosphere”, “rhetorical logosphere” and others, their characteristics used in the Ukrainian linguodioactics for the formation of rhetorical logospheres; exercises for the formation of a rhetorical logosphere with the help of neuro-linguistic programming, contributing to the evolution of this process. The focus was made on the sections of classical rhetoric (intention, disposition, elocution, memorial, action), their tasks in the preparation and presentation of speech. Training exercises, different in character and purpose, are offered for teaching the choice of the topic of speech, the placement of selected material and the use of stylistic figures. These exercises are communicative by nature and are aimed at the use of rhetorical logospheres, the development of speech-language skills. Tasks of the exercises concern the enrichment of the vocabulary and phraseological reserve of pupils, students, work with dictionaries (interpretative, phraseological), the ability to produce texts on the proposed topic, find out the morale of the instructive texts, express their thoughts about the statements of famous people, proverbs, sayings, phraseologisms and the like. The main method of neurolinguistics is described. It is the method of observing the language and the work of brain activity: dichotic listening, activating brain activity, field study of language, sociolinguistic analysis, studying the components of combined brain and speech activity, perception of speech, central brain processes, so-called cerebration, which is closely related to the logosphere. Neuro-linguistic programming of rhetorical logosphere takes place on the basis of learned language and speech material from all linguistic sections. It is the final stage in the study of the Ukrainian language.

Развитие лингвистического образования в авиационном вузе: проблемы и перспективы внедрения основной образовательной программы лингвистической магистратуры

The research analyzes the practices and the challenges of further development of linguistic education at the Moscow Aviation Institute which has started as the Foreign Languages Department and expanded to become the College of Foreign Languages with various curricula. The launch of Master’s Degree in Linguistics programs is regarded as a major step towards creating the active language learning environment. Nowadays, there are no universities in Russia that train Master’s Degree students majoring in Aviation Translation and Interpretation. This fact determines the relevance and novelty of the task of developing language education for aerospace industry performed by the Moscow Aviation Institute. The research explains the specific nature of Master’s program in the field of technical translation for aerospace industry. The following objectives should be fulfilled to provide an effective linguistic education. It is necessary to enhance the interaction between language teachers and lecturers of the main department, arrange traineeships for lecturers of foreign language departments and intensive business language and LSP courses for engineering teachers, devise and implement the effective LSP teaching techniques by both language teachers and lecturers of the main department. The author concludes that the new development stage of linguistic education at the Moscow Aviation Institute is an important element of the active learning environment in the institute as a whole.

Automating the process of identifying the preferred representational system in Neuro Linguistic Programming using Natural Language Processing.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a methodology used for recognition of human behavioral patterns and modification of the behavior. A significant part of this process is influenced by the theory of representational systems which equates to the five main senses. The preferred representational system of an individual can explain a large part of exhibited behaviors and characteristics. There are different methods to recognize the representational systems, one of which is to investigate the sensory-based words in the used language during the conversation. However, there are difficulties during this process since there is not a single reference method used for identification of representational systems and existing ones are subject to human interpretations. Some human errors like lack of experience, personal judgment, different levels of skill and personal mistakes may also affect the accuracy and reliability of the existing methods. This research aims to apply a new approach that is to automate the identification process in order to remove human errors, thereby increasing the accuracy and precision. Natural Language Processing has been used for automating this process, and an intelligent software has been developed to identify the preferred representational system with increased accuracy and reliability. This software has been tested and compared to human identification of representational systems. The results of the software are similar to a NLP practitioner, and the software responds more accurately than a human practitioner in various parts of the process. This novel methodology will assist the NLP practitioners to obtain an improved understanding of their clients' behavioral patterns and the associated cognitive and emotional processes.

John Algeo, A Life with Language: In Memoriam

John Algeo, A Life with Language:In Memoriam William A. Kretzschmar Jr. (bio) John Algeo died on October 13th, 2019, a month short of his 89th birthday. He had been living for some time near his daughter in Kentucky and had not been well enough to be active in the field in recent years. However, those of us who knew him remember well his many achievements in the study of the English language. Algeo was born in St. Louis, Missouri. After serving in the Korean War, he finished a bachelor's degree in Education at the University of Miami and then an MA and PhD (1960) in English at the University of Florida, where he worked with Thomas Pyles. Algeo wrote that he had first "met" Pyles, though not in person, when he encountered Pyles's book Words and Ways of American English (1952) as an undergraduate at Miami and that that experience took him to Florida for graduate school (Algeo 1981). He wrote that Pyles's writing was "marvelous, witty, captivating" and that "[e]ven now, more than twenty-five years later, I remember clearly the delight that book gave me, the sense of being engaged in wise and sophisticated conversation with a mind that one could only admire" (1981, 285). Many of us would say the same things about John Algeo. Algeo was an instructor at Florida State University for two years and then became an assistant professor at the University of Florida in 1961 and a full professor there in 1970. The following year he moved to the [End Page 221] University of Georgia, where he stayed until he retired in 1994. He was Head of the English Department at Georgia from 1975 until 1979 and continued to be a major figure there in both English and the fledgling Linguistics Program until his retirement. The English Department at the time was one of the principal American centers for the study of the English language, having no fewer than six faculty members in the area when I arrived there in 1986. Algeo was clearly the leader of the group. He also led the interdepartmental Linguistics Program for a time, until it was relocated as a part of the Department of Anthropology and Linguistics (a coup by some of his colleagues while Algeo was out of the country—after that shock he no longer participated). Algeo is perhaps best known for his book, The Origins and Development of the English Language (ODEL), which through many editions has been one of the two best-selling history of English textbooks of its time (with Baugh and Cable, A History of the English Language, most recently the sixth edition, 2012). These two books are primarily distinguished by the abundance of external history in Baugh and Cable and the focus on internal history in ODEL. Thomas Pyles wrote the first two editions of ODEL himself in 1964 and 1971. Algeo collaborated with Pyles in 1970 on a different but equally fine book, English: An Introduction to Language, and beginning with the third edition of ODEL (1982) Algeo carried on as co-author after the death of Pyles in 1980. After a fourth edition in 1993, Algeo changed publishers for the fifth edition in 2004 and sixth edition in 2009. For the seventh and final edition of 2013, he recruited Carmen Butcher as co-author. When Pyles and Algeo were producing ODEL in the last decades of the twentieth century, it was strikingly different from the more historical treatments of the time, like Baugh and Cable, in that it brought linguistics to the fore. Thus John's participation in the Linguistics Program as well as in English at Georgia. He was a conservative scholar—he once told me, "be not the first by whom new things are tried"—but it was clear by 1970 that linguistics would be central for the rest of his career. His work on the history of English led naturally to his role as editor of The Cambridge History of the English Language, Vol. 6: English in North America (2001), which includes chapters by half a dozen present and past members of the Dictionary Society of North America. Algeo also...

Neuro Linguistic Programming Adoption in Teaching Programming Course: A Review

Neuro Linguistic Programming Adoption in Teaching Programming Course: A Review

Neurolinguistic Programming and Regular Verbs Past Tense Pronunciation Teaching

A troublesome pronunciation issue for Spanish EFL learners is the past -ed ending of regular verbs. Neuro linguistic Programming (NLP) is a perspective integrating neurology, language and programming which are key for processing information and for responding to learners’ styles with the potential to help EFL teachers address this pronunciation issue. This paper reports a study conducted in two subsequent terms with 43 students at a university language institute: two groups taught using standard pronunciation techniques and two using NLP techniques preceded by oral tasks in which they were encouraged to pronounce regular verbs in the past. Data collected included students self-recorded pronunciation tasks, a survey to elicit students’ motivation and satisfaction and a teacher’s log with insights about students’ attitude and response to the strategy. Analysis of the data showed that after the first implementation, the NLP group improved their pronunciation a 30%, the standard one improved a 10%. During the second implementation, the NLP group showed an improvement of 23.7% pronunciation accuracy in task 1 and a 24.6% in task two compared to the standard group. The findings suggest that teacher’s use of NLP techniques into their classroom instruction have a positive impact on students’ pronunciation of the past ending of regular verbs.

Case Study: Meta Model of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as an effective mode of therapy for Moderate Depression

Aim: The present case study looks at the effectiveness of Meta Model of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) for therapeutic treatment of Clinical Depression. Method: The present case-study is a qualitative research on 18 years old teenager, clinically diagnosed with Moderate Depression using Beck’s Depression Inventory-II, and received Neuro Linguistic Programming Sessions thrice a week over a duration of 2 months (18 sessions – 60 minutes each). Evaluation was done by comparing the scores of Becks Depression Inventory-II at the time of joining with progress at 2 months of therapeutic treatment. Comparisons were made for Depressed Mood, Loss of interest & Enjoyment, increased fatigability, performance in Work related activities and Social Engagements, and Worries. Techniques of Meta Model were used for delivering therapeutic treatment. Results: The BDI-II score recorded at the time of joining was 29 and at the end of18thsession, the scores dipped down to 10. Hence, result evidenced that consistent application and training of techniques of Meta Model (Neuro Linguistic Programming) can be used as an effective treatment of moderate depression.

Engaging and Supporting Underrepresented Undergraduate Students in Linguistic Research and Across the University

This article describes my prior work as co-founder and director of the William & Mary Scholars Undergraduate Research Experience (WMSURE), a cross-departmental and cross-school program at the College of William & Mary, designed to support underrepresented undergraduate students in research. I focus first on how this program paved the way for more underrepresented students to major in and do research in linguistics at the College of William & Mary in a way that work done just within the linguistics program could not have done alone. I also describe how, as a result of my research focus on culturally and linguistically diverse students, my role as director of WMSURE expanded into work with admissions and development to recruit students who were interested in linguistics as well as to raise funds to support their research. I detail how a linguistic lens on social justice has provided the platform for spearheading this endeavor to promote the success of underrepresented students and thereby foster broader inclusion and equity efforts at William & Mary and across the university as a whole, providing a model for other linguists to promote similar endeavors elsewhere.

Evaluation of Clustering Methods for Student Learning Style Based Neuro Linguistic Programming

Students’ performance is a key point to get a better first impression during a job interview with an employer. However, there are several factors, which affect students’ performances during their study. One of them is their learning style, which is under Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) approach. Learning style is divided into a few behavioral categories, Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetics (VAK). This paper addresses the evaluation of clustering methods for the identification of learning style based on system preferences. It starts with the distribution of questionnaires to acquire the information on the VAK for each student. About 167 respondents in the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Science are collected. It is then pre- processed to prepare the data for clustering method evaluations. Three clustering methods; Simple K-Mean, Hierarchical and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise are evaluated. The findings show that Simple K-Mean offers the most accurate prediction. Upon completion, by using the dataset, Simple K-Means technique estimated four clusters that yield the highest accuracy of 74.85 % compared to Hierarchical Clustering, which estimated four clusters and Density- Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise which estimated three clusters with 52.69% and 61.68 % respectively. The clustering method demonstrates the capability of categorizing the learning style of students based on three categories; visual, auditory and kinesthetic. This outcome would be beneficial to lecturers or teachers in university and school with an automatically clustering the students’ learning style and would assist them in teaching and learning, respectively.
