ENHANCING COMMUNITY LITERACY THROUGH CONTEXTUAL INDONESIAN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of context-based Indonesian language learning in improving the literacy skills of the Kokoda community in Papua. The study is motivated by the low literacy levels influenced by the dominance of local languages, limited access to education, and the lack of learning approaches relevant to daily life contexts. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method combined with a community-based participatory approach (Community-Based Learning). The research design used a one-group pre-test–post-test model involving 45 participants from various age groups. Data were collected through literacy tests, observations, reflective interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the initial literacy level of participants was categorized as low, with a mean score of 48.0. After the intervention, a significant improvement was observed, with the mean score increasing to 72.7. This improvement is supported by the paired sample t-test result (t = 12.45; p < 0.05), indicating statistical significance. In addition, participant engagement during the learning process was high, suggesting that the context-based approach effectively enhances motivation and participation. Therefore, context-based Indonesian language learning is proven to be effective in improving literacy skills and can be recommended as a strategic approach for literacy eradication and sustainable literacy development in local communities.
SYNTACTIC ERROR ANALYSIS IN INDONESIA LANGUAGE DESCRIPTIVE ESSAYS OF SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS AT SMP NEGERI 1 SINDUE TOBATA
This study aims to describe the types of syntactic errors found in the descriptive essays of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Sindue Tobata. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with students’ written works as the data source. The findings show that students’ ability to apply Indonesian syntactic structures still needs improvement. The most frequent errors include phrase structure errors, such as the use of nonstandard phrases, ineffective phrases, and phrases that do not align with their syntactic functions. In addition, sentence structure errors were also identified, including run-on sentences, incomplete sentences, and disorganized sentence elements that obscure meaning. Spelling errors, particularly in the use of capital letters and punctuation marks, further reduced the clarity of students’ writing. These findings indicate that students tend to write using patterns of spoken language, resulting in poorly structured written language. The contributing factors to these errors include limited understanding of phrase concepts and effective sentences, a lack of structured writing practice, and insufficient habituation in applying the rules of Indonesian orthography (PUEBI). Therefore, a more systematic instructional approach is needed to enhance students’ syntactic skills in writing descriptive essays.
EXPRESSIVE SPEECH ACTS IN RESPONSES TO “TOT TOT WUK WUK” SIRENS
This study examines the use of language on social media as a means of expressing attitudes, emotions, and public evaluations of social phenomena. The focus of the research is on expressive speech acts found in the comment section of a Metro TV YouTube video titled “Fitra Eri Tanggapi Kendaraan Berstrobo Tot Tot Wuk Wuk.” The aim of this study is to describe the forms of expressive speech acts used by users in responding to the content. This research employs a qualitative approach with a content analysis method. The data consist of written utterances in the YouTube comment section that contain expressive speech acts. Data were collected through documentation techniques, including reading, recording, and identifying relevant comments. The data analysis was conducted by classifying the utterances based on types of expressive speech acts and interpreting their meanings within the context of digital communication. The results show that there are 50 instances of expressive speech acts, consisting of criticism (21 data), praise (17 data), expressions of gratitude (5 data), expressions of anger (4 data), condemnation (2 data), and congratulations (1 data). Meanwhile, forms such as apologizing and expressing condolences were not found. The dominance of critical expressions indicates that social media comment sections are often used as spaces to convey public evaluations of social issues.In conclusion, social media functions as a public communication space that enables individuals to express psychological attitudes, experiences, and perspectives on emerging social issues through various forms of expressive speech acts.
FEASIBILITY OF PICTURE STORYBOOK FOR READING COMPREHENSION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Despite growing recognition of the importance of contextual literacy media, there remains a significant gap in the availability of culturally grounded picture storybooks tailored to students in newly developed regions such as the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) area. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the picture storybook “Langkah Kecil Eka di Ibu Kota Nusantara” as a learning medium to improve reading comprehension skills among fourth-grade elementary school students. A qualitative descriptive method was employed. Data were collected through passive participatory observation, in-depth interviews with nine participants (two fourth-grade teachers, one school principal, and six fourth-grade students), and documentation at SD Negeri 006 Sepaku, Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency. Analysis was conducted systematically on four components content/material, language, illustration, and curriculum alignment using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), with data validity ensured through source and technical triangulation. The findings indicate that the book demonstrates high alignment with the Indonesian Language Learning Achievement for Phase B in the Merdeka Curriculum, incorporates contextual local wisdom values of IKN, and presents illustrations that support students’ inferential comprehension. This study contributes an evidence-based feasibility analysis of a locally situated literacy medium, offering a replicable framework for developing culturally responsive reading materials in under-resourced and newly established educational contexts across Indonesia.

RECONSTRUCTION OF MALAY TEACHING VALUES IN FOLKLORE OF RIAU PROVINCE BASED ON DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
This study aims to describe the Malay cultural values found in folk tales analyzed based on the concept of Tunjuk Ajar Melayu according to Tenas Effendy. The focus of the study includes religious values, hard work, responsibility, compassion, independence, self-awareness, generosity, sincerity, and gratitude. The method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques.

FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION OF THE DIGITAL GENERATION
This study aims to analyze the process of first language acquisition in children of the digital generation through a comprehensive psycholinguistic approach. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collected through in-depth interview techniques, systematic listening observation, recording of interactions, and detailed note-taking of a four-year-old child as the research subject. The focus of the analysis is directed at the forms of language acquisition as well as the categories of word classes used by the subject in the context of daily interactions. The research results reveal that the child’s first language acquisition involves two languages, namely Indonesian and English, demonstrating characteristics of early bilingualism developing simultaneously. The vocabulary acquired includes various categories of word classes, such as verbs, nouns, adjectives, and numerals, reflecting the variety and complexity of the language mastered by the child. Intensive exposure to the digital environment, such as the use of interactive digital media and bilingual content, is suspected to play a significant role in fostering the development of bilingual abilities in children from an early age. These findings illustrate that interaction with digital media and bilingual content not only enriches the child’s vocabulary but also accelerates the process of first language acquisition within an increasingly complex and dynamic social context. This study also emphasizes the importance of psycholinguistic studies in understanding the dynamics of language acquisition among generations growing up in the digital era, as well as its implications for the development of adaptive language learning strategies that meet the needs of today’s children. Thus, this study makes a significant contribution to understanding how the digital environment influences first language development and bilingualism in preschool-aged children.
LANGUAGE VARIATION IN THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF THE CHINATOWN AREA IN MAGELANG CITY
Linguistic landscape research examines written language in public spaces as a reflection of societal linguistic practices across various forms of public signage. Theoretically, the linguistic landscape has two main functions: informative and symbolic. However, in practice, language use in the observed Chinatown area of Magelang tends to emphasize the informative function. This gap between theoretical concepts and actual practice motivated the present study, which was conducted in the Chinatown area of Magelang City. This study aims to identify and describe forms of language variation and the functions of the linguistic landscape in the area. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive research design. The data sources consist of visual texts found in public spaces, including signboards, banners, advertisements, and road signs. Data were collected through observation and documentation techniques. Data analysis was conducted using the equivalence method with the determinant element sorting technique Pilah Unsur Penentu (PUP), comprising the following stages: data collection, classification by language variation type, analysis of linguistic elements, and conclusion drawing. The results show the presence of monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual language variations, with monolingual language use being the most dominant. The language functions identified include informative and symbolic functions, with the informative functions being the most dominant. These findings indicate that the linguistic landscape in the Chinatown area of Magelang City is more oriented towards conveying information in public spaces.

DEATH AS CULTURAL TEXT: HERMENEUTICS OF TORAJA LANGUAGE AND CONTEXTUAL THEOLOGY
Kematian dalam masyarakat Toraja tidak hanya dipahami sebagai peristiwa biologis, tetapi sebagai pengalaman budaya yang diungkapkan dan dimaknai melalui bahasa. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji bahasa Toraja tentang kematian sebagai teks budaya dengan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika bahasa yang dipadukan dengan perspektif teologi kontekstual. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif-interpretatif melalui studi pustaka dan analisis teks budaya terhadap istilah, ungkapan, serta narasi kematian dalam bahasa Toraja. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa bahasa Toraja (khususnya dalam Aluk To Dolo) memaknai kematian sebagai proses yang berlangsung secara bertahap, mempertahankan orang yang telah meninggal sebagai subjek sosial yang tetap berelasi dengan komunitas, serta membingkai kematian melalui metafora perjalanan yang kaya makna simbolik. Pembacaan hermeneutik memperlihatkan bahwa bahasa kematian Toraja membentuk pemahaman yang relasional, komunal, dan dinamis. Implikasi teologi kontekstual dari kajian ini menegaskan bahwa bahasa budaya dapat menjadi ruang refleksi iman yang membumi dan dialogis. Dengan demikian, artikel ini memberikan kontribusi bagi kajian bahasa dan sastra, khususnya dalam memahami narasi kematian sebagai teks budaya, sekaligus memperkaya pengembangan teologi kontekstual di Indonesia.

THE FORM AND MEANING OF IDIOMS IN ONLINE NEWS OPINION COLUMNS OF NARASI TV
This study is motivated by the use of idioms in TV Narrative opinions, which causes its own problems because not all readers have the same understanding of the idioms used. The author uses idioms in opinions as a form of expression to convey his opinion. Idioms are also used to shorten the text so that it is more concise and straightforward. This study aims to define two forms of idioms, namely idioms based on their level of connection and their constituent elements, as well as to explain their meanings so that they can be understood by readers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection using the observation and note-taking methods. Then, the analysis technique applies the method from Miles and Huberman. The data sources used for this study are based on 16 online opinion articles from Narasi TV. The results show that out of 16 opinion articles, 14 articles contain idiomatic expressions with a total of 22 expressions. Of the 22 idioms found, based on their level of attachment, there were 6 full idioms and 16 partial idioms. Meanwhile, based on their constituent elements, there were 6 body name idioms, 1 color idiom, 2 animal name idioms, and 13 word class idioms. The findings show that idioms and word class idioms are widely used in Narasi TV opinion articles. This indicates that Narasi TV opinion writers want to convey criticism and messages using language that is interesting but still understandable to readers. This research can contribute to the study of idiom semantics in the realm of online news opinion media, which is currently still limited.
ANALYSIS OF THE NOVELS ENTROK AND PASUNG JIWA THROUGH THE LENS OF LIBERAL FEMINISM BY OKKY MADASARI
This study conducts a comparative analysis of Okky Madasari’s novels Entrok and Pasung Jiwa through the perspective of Liberal Feminism. Entrok portrays the social reality of rural Javanese communities during the New Order era, where women are trapped within the chains of tradition, poverty, and cultural myths. Meanwhile, Pasung Jiwa presents contemporary urban dynamics through the characters Sasana and Cak Jek, who attempt to challenge the boundaries of identity, sexuality, and individual freedom. This research employs a qualitative, library-based approach. The primary data sources consist of Madasari’s Entrok and Pasung Jiwa, supported by additional materials gathered from scholarly literature, including relevant journal articles and theoretical studies. The analysis is carried out through close reading and theoretical interpretation, focusing on the manifestation of personal rights, individual rationality, and the pursuit of freedom as core values of liberal feminism. The findings reveal that Okky Madasari consistently highlights the tension between oppressive social structures and individual aspirations for self-determination. This study offers a theoretical contribution by shifting the analytical focus from collective resistance to a rearticulation of personal autonomy within contemporary Indonesian literature.
MANIFESTATION OF IRIS YOUNGS OPPRESSION IN THE NOVEL PEREMPUAN YANG MENANGIS KEPADA BULAN HITAM BY DIAN PURNOMO
Research on oppression against women in novels is motivated by the complex representation of injustice and oppression against women in literary works as a reflection of patriarchal society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the manifestations of oppression in Dian Purnomo's novel Perempuan yang Menangis kepada Bulan Hitam using Iris Young's theory of oppression. This is a qualitative study with descriptive methods. This study takes a literary feminist approach, drawing on Iris Young's five faces of oppression theory, which includes cultural imperialism, marginalization, powerlessness, exploitation, and violence. The main data for this study comes from Dian Purnomo's novel, Perempuan Yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam. This study uses data that includes excerpts of sentences, monologues, dialogues, and paragraphs that contain practices of oppression against female characters. Data collection in this study was carried out using observation and recording, while data analysis was carried out using content analysis. The findings in this study confirm that Dian Purnomo's novel Perempuan Yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam manifests the reality of women's lives trapped under an oppressive patriarchal structure and reveals criticism of gender inequality in society. These forms of oppression are interrelated and manifested through cultural imperialism in the form of Yappa Maniwe culture, which then leads to the marginalization of women in social environments, the powerlessness of women in decision-making, sexual exploitation, and physical and mental violence.
KONFLIK INTRAPSIKIS TOKOH UTAMA DALAM NOVEL SEBELAS KARYA TERE LIYE: KAJIAN PSIKOLOGI SASTRA
Penelitian ini membahas konflik intrapsikis tokoh utama dalam novel Sebelas karya Tere Liye melalui pendekatan psikologi sastra dengan teori psikoanalisis Sigmund Freud. Latar belakang penelitian berangkat dari fenomena pergulatan batin manusia yang tercermin dalam karya sastra sebagai refleksi kompleksitas kepribadian. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengungkap bentuk dan penyebab konflik intrapsikis yang dialami tokoh Paul, serta menjelaskan mekanisme pertahanan diri dalam menghadapi tekanan batin dan proses penyembuhannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan sumber data primer berupa teks novel dan sumber sekunder dari literatur teori psikoanalisis serta penelitian relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konflik batin Paul dipicu oleh trauma masa lalu, rasa bersalah, dan pertentangan nilai moral antara dorongan naluriah (id) dan tuntutan moral (superego), yang menimbulkan ketegangan psikis. Mekanisme pertahanan diri yang muncul meliputi represi, rasionalisasi, proyeksi, agresi, dan sublimasi yang berperan dalam proses penyembuhan emosional tokoh. Temuan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa konflik intrapsikis tidak hanya menggambarkan penderitaan psikologis, tetapi juga proses terapeutik menuju penerimaan diri dan kedewasaan emosional, sehingga memperkaya kajian psikologi sastra modern di Indonesia.
FROM CONVENTIONAL READING TO MOODLE-BASED LEARNING: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION
The rapid advancement of digital technology has encouraged the integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education, including in reading instruction. Although Moodle is widely adopted, empirical evidence based on experimental approaches that directly examine its effectiveness in enhancing undergraduate students’ reading comprehension remains limited, particularly in comparison with conventional reading instruction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Moodle-based reading instruction on students’ reading comprehension and to compare learning outcomes between students taught through Moodle and those taught through traditional instructional methods. A quasi-experimental research design employing a pretest–posttest control group was applied. The participants consisted of 46 undergraduate students divided into two intact classes: an experimental group (n = 23) and a control group (n = 23). The experimental group received reading instruction through Moodle, integrating structured learning materials, interactive activities, and formative assessments, while the control group was taught using conventional face-to-face reading instruction with printed materials and teacher-led discussions. A reading comprehension test was administered as both a pretest and a posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests to examine within-group improvement, independent-samples t-tests to compare posttest performance between groups, and effect size analysis to assess practical significance. The results revealed that both groups demonstrated significant improvement in reading comprehension from pretest to posttest; however, the experimental group showed significantly greater gains than the control group. Furthermore, the posttest comparison indicated a statistically significant difference with a large effect size, suggesting that Moodle-based instruction had a substantial and educationally meaningful impact on students’ reading comprehension. Overall, the findings indicate that Moodle-based reading instruction is an effective approach for enhancing undergraduate students’ reading comprehension and offers considerable pedagogical benefits for reading instruction in higher education contexts.
AN ANALYSIS OF AKRUPAMA SPEAKING SKILLS AMONG GRADE TEN STUDENTS AT STATE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2 TAKALAR
Local language learning plays a crucial role in developing students’ language skills while simultaneously preserving local cultural values. This study aims to describe the Akrupama speaking skills of tenth-grade students at Takalar State Senior High School in Makassarese language learning, with a particular focus on pronunciation, intonation, speaking expression, and interpretation. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research participants consisted of 34 students from class X MIPA 1, selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through an Akrupama speaking skills test, classroom observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The findings indicate that, overall, students’ Akrupama speaking skills fall into the competent category. A total of 85% of the students achieved scores of 75 or higher, in accordance with the school’s Minimum Mastery Criteria, with a class mean score of 79, which is categorized as good. Aspect-based analysis reveals that pronunciation and intonation are relatively better mastered than speaking expression and interpretation, which still show lower levels of mastery. These results suggest that students’ main challenges are not limited to linguistic competence but also involve affective and performative factors, such as self-confidence and expressive ability. Overall, the study confirms that Akrupama instruction through rupama is effective in enhancing students’ Makassarese speaking skills. The findings underscore the importance of strengthening more varied and performance-oriented instructional strategies to improve the quality of students’ speaking skills in local language learning.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk interferensi budaya dalam pilihan leksikon siswa BIPA di Bandung Independent School yang berasal dari Korea, Amerika, dan Jerman. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan kerangka etnografi komunikasi untuk mengkaji praktik penggunaan bahasa dalam situasi pembelajaran yang nyata dan kontekstual. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif yang dilakukan selama proses pembelajaran berlangsung serta dokumentasi berupa transkrip interaksi kelas dan catatan lapangan yang merekam peristiwa komunikasi antara guru dan siswa maupun antarsiswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interferensi budaya muncul secara konsisten dalam berbagai peristiwa komunikasi, khususnya ketika siswa merespons instruksi guru, menyampaikan pendapat, terlibat dalam diskusi kelompok, serta berinteraksi secara informal di dalam kelas. Siswa asal Korea cenderung menggunakan leksikon yang mencerminkan kesantunan berlapis dan kehati-hatian dalam bertutur, siswa asal Amerika menampilkan gaya berbahasa yang lebih langsung, ekspresif, dan egaliter, sedangkan siswa asal Jerman menggunakan leksikon yang ringkas, sistematis, dan rasional. Perbedaan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pilihan leksikon siswa tidak semata-mata dipengaruhi oleh kompetensi linguistik dalam bahasa Indonesia, tetapi juga oleh norma budaya asal yang membentuk kebiasaan dan strategi komunikasi mereka. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya integrasi aspek budaya dan pragmatik dalam pembelajaran BIPA agar pemelajar mampu menggunakan bahasa Indonesia secara tepat, baik secara linguistik maupun sosial-komunikatif. Kata Kunci: interferensi budaya, pilihan leksikon, BIPA, lintas budaya, etnografi komunikasi.

The rapid development of technology has caused service provider companies to change strategies in advertising techniques, which also affects language change with the emergence of abbreviations. Abbreviation is the process of decapitating one lexeme or a combination of several lexemes, then turning into a new form. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of abbreviations and the process of abbreviation formation in the online transportation service @grabistimewa account. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. It is analyzed using the agih method with the basic technique of BUL (Bagi Elemen Langsung), to divide the data so that it can be analyzed in depth related to its form and formation process. This research focuses on online transportation service advertisements on the @grabistimewa account from January to September 2025 with data in the form of words that contain abbreviations in advertising pamphlets. The results of this study show that there are 231 abbreviation data consisting of five forms of abbreviations, among others, 112 abbreviation data, 22 acronym data, 15 contraction data, 10 fragment data, and 72 letter symbol data. Meanwhile, in the formation process, the first letter of the abbreviation, the first three letters of the abbreviation, the first two letters of the abbreviation, the last three letters of the abbreviation, the first letter of the compound component, and the irregular abbreviation are found. Therefore, abbreviations in advertisements on social media are not only used to attract readers' attention, but become a strategy to simplify words in order to understand information more quickly.

DEVELOPMENT OF DESCRIPTIVE TEXT WRITING MATERIALS INTEGRATED WITH PEACE VALUES FOR BULLYING PREVENTION
EFFECTIVENESS OF STUDENTS' DIRECTIVE SPEECH ACTS COMMUNICATION PATTERNS AT SMKN 2 PALU
This study aims to describe the patterns and effectiveness of directive speech acts used by students of the Visual Communication Design (DKV) Department under the Merdeka Curriculum at SMKN 2 Palu, particularly in the context of promoting their design products. The study combines qualitative analysis of directive forms (inviting, requesting, suggesting, commanding) with quantitative measurement of communication effectiveness using a Likert scale. The findings reveal that students predominantly use inviting and suggesting speech acts, while requesting and commanding occur less frequently. Based on Berlo’s SMCR model, the suggesting directive emerges as the most effective form due to its combination of politeness, clarity of intention, and persuasive power, whereas requesting shows the lowest effectiveness. Social factors such as gender, age, local dialect use, and learning environment influence students’ communication patterns.

DISCOURSE ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND GENDER INEQUALITY IN THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI CONFLICT: SARA MILLS’ CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
This study examines the discourse of sexual violence and gender inequality against Palestinian women in the Palestine–Israel conflict using Sara Mills’ Critical Discourse Analysis approach. It aims to reveal how women’s positions are represented in Arabic online media Al Arabiya, Al Jazeera, and CNN Arabic. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, analyzing ten news texts based on four key elements of Mills’ framework: the subject, object, writer, and reader positions. The findings show that Palestinian women experience multiple layers of oppression. They are victims of sexual violence, harassment, humiliation, and murder by Israeli forces, while also facing structural inequality such as limited access to reproductive health and basic needs. Al Arabiya portrays women as powerless victims, Al Jazeera provides space for women to speak as active subjects, while CNN Arabic presents their suffering collectively but often conceals the perpetrators through passive constructions. These findings highlight that the Palestine Israel conflict is not merely political or military but also a gendered media issue, where women are symbolized as powerless sufferers. Thus, media discourse plays a crucial role in shaping public awareness of justice and gender equality for Palestinian women.

REPRESENTATION OF FEMALE HEROES IN THE FOLK STORY OF PUTROE ALOEH: A STRUCTURAL AND SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS FROM ROLAND BARTHES' PERSPECTIVE
The Acehnese folktale “Putroe Aloeh” tells about the legendary value of female heroism in one of the provinces of Aceh, although it raises the narrative of female heroism, the representation of the character of Putroe Aloeh in the text is often overlooked from critical studies. In fact, there is a potential for hidden patriarchal ideology behind the heroic appearance. This study aims to explain the value of heroism, independence, the role of women presented in the Acehnese folktale “Putroe Aloeh”, the narrative structure of the story, revealing the denotation, connotation, and myth of female heroism formed through Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. The method used in the study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection techniques through documentation/text studies (oral transcripts and manuscripts). Data analysis techniques in the study by recording data, extracting and categorizing text studies structurally and semiotically from Roland Barthes' perspective. The results of the study show that the representation of female heroism in the Putroe Aloeh folktale is instrumental (a tool). Structurally, Putroe Aloeh plays the role of a Donor who has absolute power over magical assets (the "Flying Horse" and the "Areca Nut Tree") and tests male characters. This role is reinforced by a semiotic analysis that forms the myth that Putroe Aloeh's heroism stems from wealth and uniqueness (not physical actions), and is embodied as a ruler who determines negotiations. In conclusion, the ideology of the story acknowledges female power, but the narrative structure limits the role of power as a bridge for Malem Diwa to achieve her goals. Thus, the role of the highest act of courage lies with the male character. This study suggests the need for a critical review of folk narratives about heroic female figures to identify women's power as framed in a limited way in traditional literature.
