The article uses Semantic Montage, a cognitive linguist source cited from the idea of montage in film theory, to examine the issue of metaphor in the study of film language in the Chinese context. The researchers created a model for studying film language theory terms, film titles, and film dialogue by combining Semantic Montage and Context. This model addresses an object of study that is distinct from traditional approaches to the study of film language that ignore the issue of metaphor in the field of film studies. The conclusions were as follows: 1.Validate inconsistencies in the Chinese translation of key terms in Christian Metz's film semiotic theory; 2. The model verifies translation errors in film titles; 3. There are three types of semantic montage in the dialogue of contemporary Chinese cinema, all of which need to be analysed in context, not just on a literal level.

In today's ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, the pursuit of global leadership has become an intensifying competition that holds significant implications for global stability. This article explores the emergence of rivalry among major global powers as well as existing and potential consequences it poses for the world. Taking into account the shifting dynamics in international relations, the article highlights the primary contenders vying for global leadership and their distinct approaches to exerting influence on the world stage. It scrutinizes the escalating tensions between these powers as they strive to secure technological, economic, and military superiority, and how these rivalries can reverberate across different regions. The article examines the impact on international cooperation efforts, as rivalries may hinder collaboration on critical global issues such as climate change, security, and governance. Additionally, the study assesses the economic interdependency among nations and the potential disruptions that can arise as rival powers aim to shape the global order to their advantage. Addressing the potential consequences of this rivalry, the research explores into the risks of military escalation and arms races, highlighting the need for diplomatic efforts to mitigate conflict and promote peaceful resolutions. It also emphasizes the importance of fostering multilateral institutions and mechanisms for effective conflict resolution and cooperation among nations. The study presents relevant strategies to control and mitigate the risks associated with global instability.

This study aims to describe the vitality level of the Malay language in North Sumatra. This study used a sociolinguistic approach, and quantitative and qualitative data analysis was carried out. Data analysis uses UNESCO references to measure the vitality level of a language. Data were obtained through a questionnaire to 165 respondents and analyzed using a Likert scale. The research results show that the level of vitality of the Malay language in North Sumatra is experiencing a decline. This is associated with several findings, namely in terms of transmission, it is in grade 3: threatened with extinction; dwindling number of native speakers; the proportion of speakers is at grade 2: critically endangered; realm of use conditions at grade 3: shrinking realm; the condition of the new domain and media is included in grade 1: minimal; the condition of the availability of teaching materials and literacy is on scale 2: the condition of speakers' attitudes is on scale 4: indicating that almost all speakers are supportive of maintaining their language; and finally the documentation condition is in category 3: moderate. So, the vitality of the Malay Language is declining.

Dangdut music is a highly popular genre in Indonesia. It serves not only as entertainment but also reflects the social reality of Indonesia through its lyrics, often depicting everyday life stories. Some Indonesian Dangdut song lyrics frequently exhibit gender inequality, perpetuating stereotypical views on gender roles by portraying women as sexual objects or passive, while men are often depicted as dominant figures. This research aims to explain gender inequality in the lyrics of well-known Dangdut songs in Indonesia. The research methodology employed is qualitative descriptive research. Data collection techniques include observation and note-taking. The research data consists of lyrics containing words, phrases, and sentences that represent gender inequality. Data analysis techniques involve content analysis and focus group discussions. The findings of this research contribute to the fields of linguistics, gender equality, and language use in song lyrics. The results indicate that explicit Dangdut song lyrics convey gender inequality between men and women. The subject-object and writer-reader positions are evident in portraying actors in the lyrics. Men are characterized powerful and actively engaged, while women are portrayed as sexual objects, obedient, passive, and accepting anything. The writer's position is that of a song creator observing societal phenomena, while the reader's position is that of music listeners, representing society. Ultimately, this research can provide insights for songwriters, singers, and stakeholders in the music industry regarding the potential impact of lyrics that create or reinforce gender inequality. This may encourage the adoption of more inclusive and gender-aware creation practices.

This study explores the intricate relationship between humans and nature, as depicted in the Sasak tribal folklore “Enige Sasakse Volksvertelsels (Lombok)” by Dr. C. Hooykaas employs Greg Garrard’s literary ecocriticism. The Sasak folklore delineates the human-nature relationship into two facets: humans as subjects and humans as objects in relation to nature. The former portrays humans viewing nature as the mother of Earth, guided by the ethics of care and a holistic understanding of nature. Conversely, the latter reveals instances of violence and exploitation of nature. By examining these dimensions, this research aims to foster discussions on environmental conservation and integrate awareness regarding its significance. Furthermore, this study contributes to the expansion of literary criticism, particularly within the realm of literary ecocriticism. It serves as a valuable initiative for preserving the local wisdom and folklore of the Sasak people on Lombok Island, Indonesia, emphasising the urgency of environmental consciousness.

This study aimed to examine global trends in educational environment design, concentrating on the shift from cultural dimensions to innovative strategies. The goal was to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the evolution of learning spaces. Our research methodology focused on a multi-case study approach, evaluating outstanding educational environments from various cultural and geographical backgrounds. Architectural blueprints and design documents were analyzed to gain insights into the creative processes behind these designs. Furthermore, we conducted a comparative analysis of international best practices in educational space design, emphasizing the role of culture and innovation in molding contemporary educational settings. This approach facilitated a detailed exploration of the key trends and their impact on learning experiences. The analysis revealed that integrating cultural dimensions and innovative systems in educational environment design results in flexible, inclusive, and adaptive learning spaces. The study also highlighted a growing focus on technology, collaboration, and sustainable design principles in shaping modern educational environments, mirroring the evolving needs of students and educators. These findings have substantial implications for educators, policymakers, and designers, as they underscore the importance of considering cultural dimensions and innovative methods when developing educational environments. By integrating these elements, academic institutions can create learning spaces that nurture creativity, collaboration, and personalization, ultimately enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.

Studies have demonstrated that use of digital rather than printed texts improve student literacy (reading comprehension of Problem solving in mathematics) and boosts motivation. The current study examines the effectiveness of digital versus printed media on the literacy of seventh- and eighth graders in Arab schools in Israel. This is the first time this topic has been examined in this setting. The study uses a quantitative methodology that involved 132 students and 77 teachers from middle-schools in the Arab sector in Israel. Two questionnaires, the first for students and the second for teachers were distributed and the data were analyzed using SPSS. The results reveal that both seventh- and eighth-grade students perform better using digital rather than printed material. No discernible gender difference was found.

Purpose: This study examined the translation strategies employed in subtitling the Jordanian Movie The Alleys from Jordanian vernacular into English, with special attention to culture-specific items (CSIs) and swear words. Design/Methodology: The selected movie was produced in 2022 and aired on Netflix. After watching the movie and examining the subtitles, the researchers grouped them into two main categories: culture-specific items (CSIs) and Swear Words. The themes subcategorized under CSIs include i) idioms and proverbs, ii) terms of address, iii) religious expressions, iv) oaths, and v) food and drinks. The themes identified in the movie and subcategorized under Swear Words include i) relative-related, ii) sex-related, iii) animal-related, iv) excretion, and v) rudeness and disrespect. The study utilized the translation strategies proposed by Baker (2001), Gottlieb (1992), and Mughazy (2016). Findings: The findings showed that the strategies used in translating idioms and proverbs are metaphorical approximation (idiom to idiom), metaphorization, and literalization (paraphrase). The strategies used in rendering terms of address, religious expressions, food & drinks are cultural adaptation, deletion, substitution, and generalization. Swear words were translated using various strategies: substitution, addition, deletion, or literal translation. Practical Implications: The study concluded that language could be creatively and strategically altered to capture cultural contexts, feelings, and underlying meanings. These translation choices might not be merely linguistic tweaks but calculated efforts to accurately capture the essence of the original expressions with clarity and emotional resonance in the target language.

Ecofeminism has pervaded many disciplines such as science, philosophy, politics, and literature. It emphasizes the ultimate interconnectedness of lifecycle. Ecofeminists contend that any shot to liberate and release women won’t be fruitful and prolific without the liberation of nature. This article intends to study the woman/nature interconnectedness with ecofeminist perception in Kingsolver’s selected two novels Animal Dreams and Prodigal Summer. It, strictly, challenges environment, animal elimination and how the female protagonists using their environmental consciousness, creating some connections with natural settings and imitates a union between women and nature. The study, indeed, focuses on women (feminism) and nature (ecology) under the authority of men. Ecofeminists attempt to find solutions for the social problems and the diseased cultural masculine system of the societies. Thus, they attempt to examine women and nature and the way they react against the masculine, misogynists, and unequal communities. Hence, they insist to mirror themselves as the source of life. Life will be continued by women who are the backbones of civilizations and families. They deliver courage, nurturing, provision, maintenance and are vital to the development of the children. Consequently, they have the right to take on leadership roles in communal organizations.

This study investigates sub-dialect variation of the Manggarai language spoken in the West Manggarai Regency. We surveyed ten sample survey sites and asked informants for 200 Swadesh word lists. The data was analyzed by formulating a sound correspondence system based on phonological differences between survey sites, resulting in a sub-dialect classification map. We conclude that there are three variations of the Manggarai language in West Manggarai: The Kempo sub-dialect (MSdK) which covers the districts of Komodo, Mbeliling, and Sano Nggoang; Kolang sub-dialect (MSdS>H) which is spoken in the sub-districts of Pacar, Macang Pacar, Kuwus and Kuwus Barat; This classification is proven by the sound correspondence between MSdK and MSdS>H, such as [e] – [e̯], [i] – [iə], [k] – [ʔ], [s] – [h], [c] – [s], and [h] – [ɣ]. There is also transition area sub-dialect (TAS), which classify the districts of Lembor, Lembor Selatan, Welak, Boleng, and Ndoso in the same group, showing the emergence of all linguistic features in the form of sound correspondences in the two sub-dialects with certain conditions need to be considered. This classification confirms the validity and provides evidence for the sub-dialect groupings carried out by Verheijen and refutes the Language Development and Fostering Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture, Indonesia, which is not based on scientific evidence.
