Abstract

This article aimed at identifying the student’s vocabulary level from the phonetic transcription of students’ mispronunciations. A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study by taking an interview, audio, and video recording of the pronunciation of eighth-grade students in State Junior High School 11 Bekasi. The sample data was taken randomly with representative sampling. The findings indicated that the student's ability to pronounce vocabulary was at an easy level (92, 5%). They were able to pronounce familiar vocabularies used in daily conversation such as bag, teacher, and classroom. Conversely, the medium and high levels were challenging to pronounce since the vocabularies were presented in the scientific text. The inaccuracy in articulation was caused by the lack of familiarity with the sounds of vowels and consonants. This study was significant to be conducted for effective communication and pronunciation development on how individuals and teachers can apply the fundamentals of phonemics sound by correcting and preventing mispronunciations.

Abstract

This study explores how trauma and tragic backstories are downplayed by the use of sarcasm through analysis of the lyrics of Freeze Your Brain, written by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy and performed by Ryan McCartan in the Heathers: The Musical Original Broadway Cast recording that was uploaded on June 10th, 2014, a dark comedy that critiques high school hierarchies. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model as the primary framework, this study analyzes how lexical choices, grammatical structures, and social contexts turn traumatic personal experiences into enjoyable humor and irony for both characters and audiences. The critical discourse analysis reveals that sarcasm in the musical number not only masks emotional vulnerability but also frames psychological numbness as an aspirational state of control, emotional regulation, and perceived maturity. Further, the linguistic transformation in the lyrics serves as a defense mechanism for the character and shapes listener interpretations of coping and resilience in the face of adversity. The findings contribute to broader discussions on emotional suppression, consumer-based escapism, performative detachment, and ideological messaging in musical theatre texts.
