“…In a previous analysis [ 30 ], a list of topics was identified subjectively/manually in the same set of national anthems as analyzed here. The topics were ranked based on the number of anthems where they occurred, but the number of occurrences in each anthem was not counted.…”

“…There is thus an overall agreement between the results of the two methodologies. The case of the two terms, “loyalty” and “unity”, which appear to be among the top 10 notions in anthems according to the previous study [ 30 ] in terms of a binary count (are present vs. are not present), but are not identified among the top 10 notions in the present statistical study where the number of occurrences within each text is also counted (i.e., non-binary), may be instructive to note. On one hand, may interpret this difference as a manifestation of the subjective methodology in the previous study.…”

“…Thus, anthems may well not be expected to describe cross-cultural variation and any features of “nations” (e.g., elites could be global and copy each other or try to innovate to be different from neighbors), or correlate with current sociological data. An attempt to nevertheless perform a comparison of most of the known official national anthems across the world (∼200) was recently reported, focusing on identification of the pervasive topics, and on possible connections between these topics and some basic societal features [ 30 ]. A set of recurring themes was identified subjectively by the authors of the study, as follows: ancestry/past, beauty, build/work, country name, courage, democracy, enemy, ethnicity, family, man, woman, fight, flag/colours, forever/never, future, geographical references, glory, independence/freedom, joy/happiness, home/mother/father-land, law/governance, leader, love, loyalty, peace, poverty/wealth, pride, religion, revolution, sacred, sacrifice, salvation, sorrow, treason, tyrant/chains, unity, win/victory.…”

“…Indonesian patriotic songs are referred to as functional music, serving to cultivate patriotism in the hearts of the people (Silaghi-Dumitrescu, 2020;Asylum & Temaja, 2020). Nowdays, there are many songs, but they often lack elements of patriotism and education.…”

There are lots of songs, but they lack elements of patriotism and education. This deficiency makes the nation's structure fragile. Therefore, awareness and rethinking are needed to map and explain this to the public so that a sense of patriotism grows. This study aims to analyze and internalize the value mechanism of the Indonesia Raya song on the formation of the attitudes and character of Islamic boarding school students. This qualitative research uses the case study method at the leading pesantren. Data was collected through document studies and interviews. The data analysis technique uses descriptive qualitative analysis. This research has found that the internalization of patriotic values in the Indonesia Raya song can shape the attitudes and character of Islamic boarding school students. The internalization model of patriotism involves gradually educating song lyrics, understanding through assignments, and singing songs together. Educators and parents need to choose a national anthem that is appropriate for children's age and interests, understand the lyrics' meaning in depth, and make it a habit to sing the national anthem in their daily activities. Internalizing these values can produce young people who have a strong love for the motherland and care for the nation and state. Research on the internalization of patriotism and educational values through the national anthem has positive implications for education and the formation of national character.

The purpose of the article is to determine the mental space of national identity by analyzing the semantic component of the national anthem. The national anthem can be considered as a social code that forms a citizen and as an ordinary text with its semantic structured levels. The national anthem is a political symbol and therefore forms two meanings: intent and influence. In the study, we combine the theory of mental spaces by G.Fauconnier and Ch.Fillmor’s frames semantics to visualize the conceptual model of Ukrainian national identity. Research results: Designating the national anthem as a patriotic work that describes and symbolizes the history and traditions of the country, we articulate the generation and manifestation of social values by the anthem. Based on this position, the article proposes a conceptual model of the mental space of the Ukrainian national identity, which was initiated by the anthem of Ukraine. The basis of the scheme is a figurative fusion of three macro-worlds: Glory-Ukraine-Freedom, which symbolizes the value component that holds around itself the basic concepts of national identity.The article compares the text of the national anthem «Shche ne vmerla Ukraina…» written by P.Chubinsky and the text edited by M.Verbitsky. The symbolic construction of the text of Chubinsky’s anthem, published in 1963, broadcasts a conceptual model of future actions. The names Zalizniak, Nalyvaiko, Triasylo embody the ideal of Cossack chivalry, past times, which are the basis for future generations to follow. The concept of “national identification borders” includes not only geographical names, the Black Sea, the Carpathians, the Dnipro (in the text «from the Syan to the Don»), but also indexical categories – «inviolability», «integrity of the state», «integrity of the territory», «unitaryness», and as well as symbols embodied in names, for example, Crimea, Odesa, Lviv, Kharkiv. In the context of the semantic analysis of the text of the national anthem, its influence on the mental state of the state is recognized, which is reflected in the global peace index and the global terrorism index. A nation can be presented with ethnic, territorial, cultural, and political components. But there must also be abstract ideas, a mental space that makes it visible.
