Abstract
This research analyses the use of spatial and temporal deixis in the Little Forest movie to explore the interconnection between language, Japanese culture, and ecology. It employed a qualitative approach based on an ecolinguistics analysis framework grounded in the positive discourse analysis (PDA) model and the concept of symbolic competence. The analysis reveals that the use of local place (35.71%) and cultural place names (39.29%) is more dominant than proximal explicit (14.29%), medial (7.14%), and distal (3.57%) deixis. In terms of temporal deixis, specific time (48.28%) and repeated time (24.14%) references reflect a natural cycle-based time construction. These findings suggest that space and time in the movie are not merely narrative backdrops but play a crucial role in constructing cultural identity, fostering ecological awareness, and articulating resistance to global homogenization (Kramsch, 2010; Stibbe, 2020). The movie presents rural life as a deliberate, meaningful choice rooted in tradition and nature. Thus, Little Forest can be seen as offering an alternative, sustainable model of life grounded in local wisdom and ecological values and showing cultural continuity in society.

Jurnal Kapal Perang vs Jurnal Kapal Dagang: Memahami Model Pengelolaan Jurnal Ilmiah
Ada sebuah diskusi menarik di kalangan pengelola jurnal tentang istilah "Kapal Perang vs Kapal Dagang". Istilah ini digunakan untuk menggambarkan dua tipe pendekatan dalam mengelola jurnal.
1. Jurnal Tipe Kapal Perang
Tipe pertama, yang disebut jurnal kapal perang, merupakan metafora untuk jurnal yang dikelola dengan semangat perjuangan tinggi dan idealisme murni. Di lingkungan PTKIN, pengelola seperti ini sering disebut sebagai "Jihadis Jurnal"—mereka yang mengelola jurnal dengan penuh dedikasi, bahkan tanpa memikirkan honor atau imbalan. Mereka bekerja dengan penuh keikhlasan, benar-benar lillahi ta’ala.
Namun, seringkali pengelola jurnal tipe ini justru merasa kurang mendapat perhatian, bahkan cenderung diabaikan, meski di sisi lain mereka tetap dibutuhkan oleh institusi mereka.
Jurnal-jurnal "kapal perang" ini umumnya banyak ditemukan di kampus-kampus, baik negeri maupun swasta. Sebagian besar tidak membebankan biaya publikasi (free APC), meskipun ada juga yang mengenakan biaya terjangkau, mulai dari 30 hingga 300 USD, tergantung pada peringkat SINTA-nya. Semakin tinggi peringkat jurnalnya, umumnya biaya APC juga semakin besar. Misalnya, jurnal SINTA 1 yang sudah terindeks Scopus bisa mematok biaya sekitar 300 USD—masih tergolong murah jika dibandingkan dengan jurnal "kapal dagang" yang akan dijelaskan berikutnya.

There is a clear relationship between interest in reading and the ability to read and comprehend recount texts 46.
Reading Interest and Reading Comprehension: A student's interest in reading can significantly influence their reading comprehension 4. Students lacking reading interest may struggle to understand texts 4.
Reading Interest as a Counterbalance: Interest in reading can help students overcome reading challenges 4.
Strategies to Improve Comprehension: Employing strategies such as the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) method can help students improve their reading comprehension of recount texts 35. The Experience Text Relationship (ETR) method may also improve reading comprehension of recount texts 27.
The reason why "unforgettable" has a double "t" instead of just one — as in "unforgetable" — comes down to English spelling rules related to suffixes and stress patterns.
Base word: forget
Ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern: g-e-t
The stress in "forget" is on the second syllable: for-GET
Adding the suffix "-able"
When you add a suffix like -able to a monosyllabic word or a word with the stress on the last syllable, and the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern, English spelling rules often double the final consonant.
So: forget + able = unforgettable (double the "t" after "get")
✅ correct: unforgettable
❌ incorrect: unforgetable
regret + able = regrettable
omit + ed = omitted
begin + ing = beginning
But:
open + ed = opened (no double "n", because the stress is not on the last syllable)
The doubling helps preserve pronunciation and keeps the vowel sound short or correct when the suffix is added.

The English language has evolved through centuries of contact with German, French, Latin, and Greek, resulting in a lexicon where 60% of words have non-Anglo-Saxon origins234. Below is a detailed analysis of each language's influence, with historical context and examples.
German
Influence
English and
German share a common Proto-Germanic ancestry,
leading to foundational vocabulary overlaps. Approximately 26% of English words trace back to Germanic roots15.

Contributions:
Post-19th-century
scientific contributions include angst (existential
anxiety) and zeitgeist ("spirit of the
age")5.
French
