Abstract

This study examines Particularized Conversational Implicature (PCI) in the dialogues of Surah Maryam and its contribution to politeness in religious discourse. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how PCI is realized through off-record strategies and how it contributes to politeness in the dialogues of Surah Maryam. Grounded in the theories of Paul Grice and Brown and Levinson, this study employed qualitative content analysis, using the Sahih International translation of Surah Maryam as the source of the data. The data consisted of 32 utterances forming dialogic verses grouped into 12 dialogue sections. The findings reveal that 7 sections contain PCI which is realized through off-record strategies such as giving hints, rhetorical questions, understatement, presupposition, and association clues. These strategies enable indirect, context-dependent, and polite communication. The study contributes to pragmatic studies and Qur’anic discourse analysis by demonstrating how indirect communication constructs ethical interaction in religious texts.

Abstract

Mythology or myth is an important part of the study of literature. A comparative study of two literary works written in the same language and originating from the same cultural context is not a valid application of this field. This study employs a comparative literature methodology to examine the similarities, differences, and classifications of myths associated with the Legend of Lake Toba and the Creator of Lake Chala. This research utilized a comparative literature framework to analyse the myths associated with the research subjects. This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing descriptive analysis and library research.  Both narratives employed the established plot structure identified as Freytag’s pyramid.  Despite the narrative differences, the plots of the two stories are theoretically analogous.  The Legends of Lake Toba and Lake Chala exhibit significant similarities, particularly in their narrative structures, cautionary motifs, and consequences of unmet obligations.  Based on the noted similarities and differences, particularly in the plot, the authors concluded that both The Legend of Lake Toba and The Creator of Lake Chala fit within the speculative and explanatory (etiological) category of myths.

Abstract

Contemporary Female Gothic situates horror within the domestic sphere, often centering the maternal figure as a source of threat. This study examines monstrous motherhood and repetitive trauma in The Lamb by Lucy Rose, focusing on how the mother–child relationship normalizes and reproduces domestic violence. While previous studies have discussed monstrous motherhood and trauma in Gothic narratives, limited attention has been given to their interconnected role within everyday maternal relationships. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach, this study applies close reading and thematic coding to selected narrative passages. The analysis draws on Female Gothic criticism, Barbara Creed’s concept of monstrous motherhood, and Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory. The findings show that violence is normalized through domestic care and repeated across relationships, positioning trauma as a continuous relational structure rather than an individual experience.

Abstract

Turn-taking manages mechanical speaking turns and creates a cooperative, dynamic, and entertaining conversation. Therefore, creating pleasant and engaging experiences allows participants to express their ideas confidently. Thus, this study investigates how such an experience is facilitated by the turn-taking mechanism in Happy Sad Confused and identifies how markers are used as strategies in conversational dynamics. This study used a descriptive qualitative method and Stenström's (1994) theory related to turn-taking strategies. The data were collected using Jefferson's (2009) transcription approach. The results of this study showed that the interaction between Josh Horowitz and Henry Cavill demonstrated a successful turn-taking mechanism to promote compelling discussion, allowing Henry Cavill to disclose emotive and in-depth work experiences. So, turn-taking also enriched conversational dynamics in a talk show scenario. Markers significantly contributed to maintaining the natural flow of communication and smooth transitions to keep the conversation rhythm. The most dominant marker by filled pauses (e.g., “ǝ:m”, “uh”) was 47 times. Overall, turn-taking maintained interesting communication. Speakers could use suitable tactics and markers to enable meaningful interactions, making talks more dynamic and entertaining for participants and viewers.
