This issue highlights a dynamic multidisciplinary collection of research spanning applied phonology, feminist literary criticism, clause-based translation strategies, literary psychology, Qur'anic stylistics, rhythmic acoustics, and socio-political critique across a broad geographical network.

Featuring scholarly contributions from researchers across Sumatra, Java, and Aceh (including Banda Aceh, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Medan, Padang, Bukittinggi, and Bandung), this edition reflects diverse analytical approaches and strong regional collaboration:

  • Applied Phonology & SLA: Empirical analysis of phonetic errors and speech production among Arabic language learners.

  • Feminism & Semiotics: Radical feminist analysis of patriarchal structures in modern short stories and memoirs, alongside Barthesian semiotic readings of poverty.

  • Translation Studies: Clause-based investigation of segmentation, addition, and reduction strategies in Arabic-Indonesian complex sentence translations.

  • Psychology & Stylistics: Literary psychology of depression in contemporary song lyrics, Freudian psychological conflict analysis in modern novels, and stylistic aesthetics of Qur'anic pause markers (fawāṣil).

  • Poetics & Political Sociology: Rhythmic and rhyming harmonization in Sufi poetry (diwan), alongside Bourdieusian sociological readings of death, doxa, and authority delegitimation in modern Arabic literature.
