“…The communication of the sensory experience of the character in shape of traces that the environment leaves on his consciousness avoids intrusion from the position of the privileged speaker even in cases when the lexical choice does not belong to the character (Muhaxheri, 2021;Abu, 2020).…”

The impact of the lexicons that were often used in the past will be eroded due to the environmental conditions that surround them. This study has examined the critical condition in Balinese lexicon extinction. There are some Balinese language vocabularies that are almost extinct by the current generation due to cultural hegomonization. The occurrence of capitalist hegemony so it touches a substantial matter in the form of language. This research can inspire language observers and environmentalists as well as the authorities to revitalize the language that has become extinct. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptively by using questioner to collect the data. After analyzing this study, it can be found that some lexicon even extinct since environmental influences. It can erode the existence of the use of some lexicons in society. A new fact found in this study is that the development or change of the Balinese lexicon that occurs is comparative negative historical linguistics which is defined as a genetic change in language and loss of its function and meaning due to the extinction of the ecosystem and its relationship with the environment. The extinction of language due to the environment can be fixed with several efforts that can be made by the community. These efforts are language documenting reviving the oral tradition, stimulating the younger generation to be proud to use Balinese, Input the lexicons in the curriculum content, increase strong commitment from the community to continue using lexicons in their daily communication.

“…Therefore, at fundamental levels, a gap of one year is enough to assess a change in the lexicon, while a more extended period is needed at advanced levels. It has been found that lexicon development patterns are not always prominent if one does not look at long-term development (Abu-Rabiah, 2017, 2020a, 2020b, 2022. Second, in some studies, older students use their writing within a limited but very familiar vocabulary or "playing it safe", which lowers the lexical diversity in their writing (Laufer, 1991).…”

Most of the research on lexical measures was conducted in English and conducted similarly in other languages without accurate adaptations to the language being tested. The first objective of this study is to identify differences between applications of lexical density and lexical diversity when tested as in English and when adapted to the language being tested. The second objective is to inspect the effect of acquisition time on intermediate-level second-language learners' lexical density and diversity. In a test-retest study over one year, Arabic Hebrew bilinguals (n=23) wrote argumentative essays, in which lexical density and diversity were analyzed according to two approaches; a conventional approach as in English and an adapted approach more aligned with Hebrew linguistic features. In both approaches, lexical density was calculated as the number of lexical words in proportion to the total number of words and lexical diversity using the type-token ratio (TTR) and Corrected TTR (CTTR). Findings reveal statistically significant differences between the two approaches and the adapted approach allowed for cross-language and interlanguage comparisons. Although no significant increase in lexical density and diversity over the year was found, various patterns for lexical development were observed; at the second time point, students with the lowest level of lexical diversity substantially improved and more essays fell within the lexical density range of a typically written language.

Numerous studies have addressed the issue of the authorship of Morsi Gameel Aziz's lyrics. These studies have traditionally been based on chronological criteria for determining the real authors of disputed lyrics. To date, there is no agreement on the real authors of these disputed lyrics. This can mainly be attributed to both selectivity and the lack of empirical evidence in such studies, raising questions about the reliability of such approaches. With the advent of machine learning systems and data mining techniques, it is now possible to process thousands of texts using replicable methods. Thus, this study seeks to address the issue of the authorship of Morsi Gameel Aziz's lyrics making use of these advances by applying a clustering-based stylometry approach. The hypothesis is that lyrics grouped or clustered together are more likely to be written by the same poet. A corpus of 1,089 lyrics was built, including all known lyrics attributed to Aziz and the lyrics of the poets thought to be the real authors of the disputed lyrics. The lyrics were clustered using the Gibbs sampling Dirichlet multinomial mixture (GSDMM) technique and were assigned to four main classes, with the 12 disputed lyrics clustered within Aziz's class. Based on this, it is clear that the GSDMM model is effective and reliable in clustering short documents in Arabic. The results of the study show that machine learning systems and stylometric authorship techniques can be used in resolving many authorship questions that remain controversial and unanswered in Arabic literature.
