Indonesia has thousands of traditional villages. One of the traditional villages is in Todo Village, West Satar Mese District, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The traditional village, which is known as the Todo Tribe Traditional Village, has a settlement pattern dominated by ritual practices. In this context, culture is a determining factor in the process of forming settlements. The people of the Todo Tribe Traditional Village have maintained this tradition for generations. One of the traditions that is the focus of this research is the annual penti ritual. This ritual is a practice of thanksgiving for the crops carried out by the community. This series of rituals has influenced the uniqueness of this village settlement pattern. This study was conducted qualitatively through a field research. Data collected by interviews and field observation. The analysis uses semiotics, namely the science of signs, so that it can explore and relate the elements of form, function and meaning to the Todo Tribe Traditional Village. Graphical analysis is used to describe and understand the visual aspects of the Todo Tribe Traditional Village which are appropriately presented graphically (charts or pictures). Finally, the existence of the settlement of the Todo Traditional Village is spatially determined by form, function and meaning (verbal and non-verbal symbolic messages).

Faculty verbal messages: scale development and initial validation

IntroductionThis study set out to create a scale of messages faculty use when communicating with students and provide initial validation evidence for that scale.MethodsThree studies were used to create and initially validate the scale. Study one used focus groups to have students generate a list of 65 messages. Study 2, a survey with exploratory factor analysis, yielded two factors: affirming (items) and disconfirming (items) messages. Study 3 confirmed the factor structure and provided initial construct validation based upon the relationship between messages and relational distance, motives to communicate, learner empowerment, and student motivation.ResultsWithdrawal mediates the relationship between faculty verbal messages and learner empowerment. Faculty verbal messages directly, without mediation, predict student motivation.DiscussionFaculty verbal messages matter inside and outside the classroom. Both affirming and discomfiting messages can have a positive effect on students’ learning/motivation as well as the instructor-student relationship.

Contextual Factors Influencing Online Support Providers’ Motivations and Message Provision

This study examined how contextual factors influence support providers’ motivations and message provision. Participants (N = 602) provided supportive messages in response to support-seeking posts sent either publicly or privately through either Facebook or an online support group. Findings revealed that providers’ motivations and message provision varied as a function of the channel and privacy of communication. Moderated mediation analyses showed that privacy moderated the indirect effect of channel on verbal person-centered message provision through approach motivation. This project advances extant understanding regarding direct and indirect effects of contextual factors and motivations on the quality of supportive messages people produce.

Effective Messages to Reduce Stigma among People Newly Diagnosed with HIV during Rapid ART Initiation.

HIV stigma has a negative influence on antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and persistence and viral suppression. Immediate access to ART (RAPID ART) has been shown to accelerate viral suppression (VS) that is sustained up to one year after HIV diagnosis. Little is known about the role of RAPID ART in reducing individual-level stigma. We explored how stigma manifests in RAPID ART encounters and whether RAPID ART interventions influence individual-level HIV stigma during and in the time immediately after the diagnosis experience. We conducted in-depth interviews with 58 RAPID ART patients from three health clinics in San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and thematically analyzed. In the results, we discuss three main themes. First, Pre-Diagnosis HIV Beliefs, which included three sub-themes: HIV is "gross" and only happens to other people; HIV (Mis)education; and People are "living long and strong" with HIV. Second, Positive and Reassuring Messages During the RAPID Experience, which included two sub-themes: Correcting Misinformation and Early Interactions with People Living with HIV. Third, The RAPID ART Process Can Disrupt Stigma. RAPID ART encounters served as a potent mechanism to disrupt internalized stigma by providing accurate information and dispelling unhelpful myths through verbal and nonverbal messages. Reducing internalized stigma and misinformation about HIV at this early stage has the potential to reduce the effect of HIV stigma on ART initiation and adherence over time.

Verbal and Nonverbal Communication of Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates During the Third and Fourth Debates of the 2024 Election: A Semiotic Analysis by Charles Sanders Peirce

As presidential and vice-presidential candidates seek to capture public attention and understanding, they often employ innovative and creative methods. Both verbal and nonverbal messaging play a crucial role in this process. Therefore, understanding the verbal and nonverbal communication of a potential national leader is essential to prevent future misunderstandings. This study aims to analyze the political verbal and nonverbal communication of presidential (capres) and vice-presidential (cawapres) candidates during the third and fourth debates of the 2024 election using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic analysis. The primary focus of this research is to understand how the concepts of Sign, Object, and Interpretant are used by the candidates to convey their political messages during the debates. The methodology employed is qualitative, utilizing a semiotic analysis approach, which allows the researcher to elucidate the meanings behind the signs and symbols used in political communication. The study finds that the use of certain symbols significantly influences voter perceptions of the candidates. Additionally, the research highlights that signs play a critical role in the effectiveness of political communication, where gestures, facial expressions, and body language enhance the candidates' appeal and credibility in the eyes of the voters. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective political communication strategies in future election campaigns.

SEMANTIC AND PRAGMATIC MANIFESTATION OF MODALEM AND SPECIFICS OF DIALOGIC DISCOURSE TRANSLATION (based on the parallel corpus)

The article centers on the description of the category of subjective modality of dialogic discourse in terms of its semantic and pragmatic nature, exemplify the concept of modalem as a semantic marker of a verbal message, a means of expressing the subjective modality and a semantic quantum of the speaker’s remarks in a literary discourse. It alsо provides a semantic typology of modalems and illustrates the role of modalems with equivalent verbal content. The structure of dialogic discourse includes: producer – reference situation – remark – recipient. These are the components of communicative situation. The semantic load of such a communication conveys an obligatory modal aspect which is formed by the superposition of semantic and pragmatic coordinates. The process of subjectification (modalization) of the speaker’s remark in fictional discourse begins with the subjective view and perspective one of objective reality, described through a selected subjective mode of comprehension which represents the subjective modality of discourse. In other words, the subjective modal marking of discourse implies the speaker’s intention. Modalization is a complex process of including additional meanings onto the verbal information of a remark, determined by the author-producer’s intentions and their attitude towards the referential meaning. It serves as a pragmatic and axiological quantum of information that the producer embeds in their verbal message. The deciphering of modalem in the context of direct communicative interaction, as exemplified by the dialogic discourse of fictional prose, represents the semantic link that binds together “what the speaker said” and “what they meant to say” into a single semantic whole. For beginner translators, working with corpora for identifying the ways to convey modalems in different languages serves both a reliable basis for successful translation activities and an essential source for practicing interpreting and simultaneous translating.

COMPLICATED SENTENCE AS AN INDICATOR OF A VIRTUAL SPEAKER’S INTELLECTUAL LEVEL

The paper looks at the problem of correlation of cognitive processes taking place in the person’s cognition with the syntactic organization of their speech. The speech of any individuum mirrors their thinking, and this is one of the ways they come to know their environment, acquire cognitive experience for building up their own picture of the world. In the process and due to communication, a human is shaped as an individual with a certain intellectual level of mind. The presented work is focused on syntactic peculiarities of the English-language verbal message, produced depending on the intellectual level of the virtual speaker. The topicality of the conducted scientific research consists in lingual and gnoseological need to penetrate into the cognitive-communicative essence of the processes of generating messages, and is motivated by the lack of serious scientific research of this problem. The objective of this paper consists in singling out a scientifically valid criterion for determining the intellectual level of a virtual speaker in the aspect of syntactic construction of sentences inherent to him. The starting point of this research was an assumption that there are certain typologically different structural sentence models, preferred by representatives of a certain psychological group of individuals. In our previous studies, it was established that in dialogue communication, simple sentences prevail among other structural types, while complex sentences take the third place in terms of use frequency with almost all speakers, regardless of their education level, social status, and cognitive abilities. According to our observations, a striking contrast can be seen in the native speakers’ use of complicated sentences, the grammatical status of which is not fully specified in grammar. The carried-out research specifies the concept of “complicated sentence”, and by means of comparative analysis of speech samples provided by the protagonists’ of three English novels captured at different stages of their lives, this type of sentence is determined as an indicator of the speakers’ cognitive peculiarities at the level of syntax. It is suggested that, in contrast to the surface representation, deep structures of human speech organization correlate with deep structures of human thought activity. Hence, a high intelligence level of an individuum is reflected not only at the level of adequacy of information perception, but also in the form of message representation and generation, namely, mainly in the constructions with a hidden deep structure of predication.

Unveiling affective disablism at work: a structural approach to microaggressions

Ableist microaggressions are ubiquitous experiences for workers with an impairment, chronic illness or neurodivergence in the daily execution of their job. These (un)intended everyday (non)verbal negative messages based on disability status affectively disable people, momentarily and with lasting effects on mental health and positive identity. Past research provided either psychological accounts, locating the origins of microaggression in the minds of individuals, failing to highlight the role of an ableist society, or sociological accounts, stressing exclusionary structures and marginalising discourses, neglecting to fully account for the inner experience. This paper puts forward an alternative, combined account by empirically zooming in on three vignettes in work contexts. It contributes to expanding knowledge on subtle forms of ableism, showing the entanglement between material arrangements, negative co-worker affect, and their internalisation by the disabled worker. By locating the microaggression concept firmly in the structural oppression of ableist societies, we hope to inspire organisational programs aimed at detecting and preventing microaggressions. Finally, we prepare the ground for future research to look into even more subtle forms of disability-based discrimination present in everyday interactions.

Semiotic Mathematics Representation Ability Based on Symbolic in Solving SPLSV Problems in Class VII Students

Mathematical semiotic representation is the ability to analyze and express mathematical ideas or notions of a phenomenon and everyday problem situations into the form of signs, images, symbols, and symbols that represent them and provide meaning and explanation to a package of verbal sign messages. The symbolic stage is the stage where students have understood the symbols and concepts and have ideas that are strongly influenced by language and logic skills and students are able to manipulate symbols or symbols of a particular object. The purpose of this study was to determine the representation of symbolic-based mathematical semiotics in seventh grade students of MTS Al Barokah Ajung Jember on SPLSV material using qualitative descriptive method. The instrument used by researchers in the form of written test questions consisting of two questions tailored to the symbolic representation that has two indicators that use mathematical symbols to solve problems and interpret mathematical symbols. From the results of research that has been done obtained the error of representation on indicators using mathematical symbols to solve the problem of 100% and error of representation on indicators interpreting mathematical symbols of 0%. Several studies have been carried out to explain the mistakes that students make in representation skills. This paper presents the ability of mathematical symbolic semiotic representation of students who are more specific in solving SPLSV problems that can be considered by teachers in designing learning about the ability of mathematical semiotic representation and information for observers of mathematics education.

“COGNITIVE FRAGMENTATION” AS A CONSEQUENCE OF CLIP THINKING AND ITS IMPACT ON MODERN SOCIETY EVOLUTION

In today’s information-saturated world, individuals are inundated with verbal and visual messages, leading to the development of what is termed “clip thinking” as an adaptive response. This phenomenon, characterized by constant interaction with superficial and nonsensical texts, alongside continuous internet browsing, has profound implications beyond mere cognition. Clip thinking, a systemic issue, extends its influence beyond cognitive processes. Its roots lie in the transmission of information through modern gadgets, the ubiquity of the internet, and the prevalence of clip culture. Modern youth, constrained by the small screens of digital devices and the constant scrolling of text, are increasingly averse to engaging with complex material, resulting in decreased information retention and comprehension. This shift in information consumption habits has concerning implications for higher education. Many students rely heavily on electronic aids, neglecting memorization and overlooking the importance of understanding complex texts. Consequently, the prevalence of fragmented thinking among students leads to deficiencies in conceptual and critical thinking skills. Instead of engaging deeply with subject matter, students often resort to generalized concepts, overlooking causal connections. Carriers of clip thinking become vulnerable to any manipulations by the mass media, as the mosaic nature of their consciousness is capable perceive only what is happening right now and information provided through information and telecommunication gadgets without subjecting it to critical analysis. Hence, university lecturers face significant challenges as they endeavor to navigate the need for innovative teaching methodologies in light of the fragmented thinking prevalent among modern students. The searching for innovative teaching technologies should not solely aim at altering the thinking patterns of students with clip-like cognitive tendencies. Rather, the primary objective of modern educational technologies should be to foster the mental skills necessary for information analysis and synthesis, as well as the identification of similarities and differences, generalizations, and classifications within the information landscape. Hence, this topic retains its profound relevance in contemporary education.

The success of the Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) in protecting and saving the Indonesian people from stopping illegal drug trafficking in 2021 has exceeded the target set. This can be realized thanks to preventive campaigns, including Instagram social media. This research aims to present the results of a semiotic analysis of visual content uploaded by BNN via the BNN Cegah Narkoba Instagram account (@bnn_cegahnarkoba) from January to June 2022 based on their success in reducing the rate of triggering and illicit circulation of drugs in Indonesia throughout 2021. The method used in this study is the triadic semiotic analysis by Charles Sanders Peirce, who interprets the relationship between objects through DKV elements, DKV principles, and typography in contents with a representamen that produces an interpretant. The results of this research show that the meaning of the BNN Cegah Narkoba’s campaign content tends to display anonymous visual representations of its audience and places more emphasis on preventive verbal messages. Additionally, visual associations to symbols of popular fictional characters are also used so that the range of impact can be even wider. This tendency is carried out based on compliance with media ethics and consideration of the target audience dominated by young people. Keywords: anti-drug campaign, BNN, Peirce’s semiotics

The theatrics of Arabic script: word and/as image in the diagrams of the Kitāb al-diryāq (BnF arabe 2964)

This article focuses upon the arrangement of written words in geometric shapes or patterns—specifically in Arabic script. It takes the case of the Kitāb al-diryāq (Book of Antidotes, 595 AH/1199 CE, BnF arabe 2964), an illuminated and illustrated manuscript that features a series of geometric compositions created using Arabic script. The script is employed in conjunction with or independent of geometric lines and curves, with its ligatures compressed and elongated, and words repeated, ornamented, or oriented multidirectionally to augment the geometric shape. The aesthetic manipulation of the script in this manner severely compromises the legibility of the words—the pages invite a viewing of the script rather than a reading of the text. By closely examining a set of four such compositions—articulated as diagrams—the article demonstrates the semantic value of the visual script patterns when read in concert with the verbal content. Furthermore, by focusing on the extralinguistic components of the diagrams, I argue that the arrangement of text in geometric patterns is a vital medium of transmitting knowledge—the form not only shapes the reception of verbal messages but also augments an aesthetic image; operates as a cognitive device; and transforms the text into a scientific representation. The diagrams visually and semantically shape knowledge.
