Abstract

This study examines the construction of sacred identity through ethnolinguistic and semiotic analysis of ornamental elements on the pillars of the 736-year-old Saka Tunggal Mosque in Cikakak, Banyumas. Using qualitative descriptive narrative methods, this study combines participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, linguistic text analysis, and visual semiotics to interpret the symbolic elements embedded in the decorative motifs found on the pillars of the Saka Tunggal Mosque. The results of the study indicate that mosque ornaments are not merely decorative elements, but rather visual representations of theological and cosmological concepts that reflect ethnic identity and past cultural myths spanning various eras. The results of the study indicate the relationship and influence of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom on the ornaments of the pillars of the Saka Tunggal Mosque so that the creation of local and religious-cultural cohesion is reflected in the form of symbolic structures that reflect the integration of local cultural linguistic expressions and religious narratives semiotically and contribute to symbolic forms so that cultural and historical heritage preservation arises in the sacred identity of the mosque. The results of this study contribute to cross-disciplinary studies in cultural science, religious architecture, and visual semiotics, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining cultural and linguistic diversity in the heritage of historical cultural buildings.

Apa Itu CEFR?
Sebelum masuk ke Level B2, penting untuk memahami apa itu CEFR.

CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) adalah sebuah standar internasional yang digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berbahasa. Standar ini membagi kemampuan berbahasa menjadi enam level, dari A1 (pemula) hingga C2 (mahir). CEFR sangat penting karena menyediakan acuan yang sama bagi semua orang di seluruh dunia untuk mengukur kemampuan mereka dalam suatu bahasa, baik itu bahasa Inggris, Spanyol, Prancis, Jerman, dan lainnya.

**Joko Widodo: A Man of Contradictions?**

While President Joko Widodo rose to power with a reputation as a humble, reform-minded leader, his time in office has drawn increasing scrutiny for what critics describe as contradictions between his promises and his actions. Initially celebrated for his commitment to human rights, anti-corruption, and democratic values, Jokowi has also overseen policies and political alliances that appear to contradict those ideals. These include his close cooperation with military figures, weakening of anti-corruption institutions, and support for controversial legislation limiting civil liberties.

Many Indonesians feel disillusioned, accusing Jokowi of betraying his original reformist image. Some have gone as far as to call him a "big liar," referencing unmet campaign promises and perceived political compromises. Supporters, however, argue that his decisions reflect pragmatic leadership in a complex political landscape. Ultimately, whether Jokowi is a leader of necessary compromises or a man who abandoned his ideals remains a subject of intense public debate.
