Abstract

This study examines the use of presupposition in the movie Five Feet Apart directed by Justin Baldoni, focusing on its role in enhancing the narrative and character interactions. Presupposition, a linguistic concept that assumes certain information to be true within communication, is analyzed to explore how it contributes to the film’s emotional depth, thematic development, and overall storytelling. The research applies a qualitative approach to identify and categorize the types of presuppositions present, such as existential, lexical, factive, non-factive, structural, and counterfactual. It further investigates how these presuppositions function in the dialogues to convey implicit meanings, reveal character motivations, and foster relational dynamics among the protagonists. The findings highlight that presuppositions are strategically employed to subtly portray themes such as love, illness, resilience, and the boundaries imposed by cystic fibrosis, which the central characters face. By embedding unspoken truths and shared understandings within the conversations, the film effectively engages viewers, making the narrative more relatable and emotionally impactful. This study contributes to the fields of pragmatics and film studies by demonstrating how presupposition can be a powerful tool in cinematic storytelling, enriching both the linguistic and emotional layers of a narrative. It underscores the importance of linguistic analysis in understanding the deeper elements of film communication and the nuanced ways in which language shapes audience perceptions and experiences.

Abstract

In "Mufasa: The Lion King" (2024), the screenplay skillfully utilizes implicature as a crucial element that enhances storytelling and adds depth to the emotional and thematic aspects of movie script. Implicature, a concept introduced by philosopher H. P. Grice, refers to the implied meanings that emerge in conversation, where speakers communicate ideas indirectly, relying on context and shared understanding between characters and the audience.This article delves into how the script of "Mufasa" employs both conversational and conventional implicatures to illuminate the intricacies of Mufasa’s character, particularly his relationships with his brother Scar and his son Simba, as well as broader themes of leadership, responsibility, and legacy. Through subtle and indirect communication, Mufasa conveys vital lessons while navigating his own internal and external conflicts, thus enriching the film's exploration of leadership and personal growth. By examining key dialogues and character interactions, this study underscores the significance of implicature in shaping the audience’s comprehension of character dynamics and the deeper meanings within the narrative. The use of implicature in "Mufasa" not only enhances character development but also engages viewers in an active process of interpretation, inviting them to read between the lines and discover the unspoken teachings woven throughout the dialogue.

Abstract

This paper describes and analyzes the ontological metaphor language in a traditional Batak Simalungunese tribe, Mambere Tungkot, Duda-Duda, and Sulang-Sulang Pahompu in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study aims to present an analytical view of the customary tradition of thanking parents for their contribution to one’s life. This is carried out in regular conversation through the language of metaphors, in particular, ontology metaphors. Ontological metaphors describe human qualities that are given to nonhuman entities (Kovesces, 2010: 33-38).  This study applies the descriptive qualitative method to discuss the ontological metaphor depicted in the traditional ceremony. The data of the research were taken from the utterances of the speakers, namely: master of the ceremony, parents, and children involved in the ceremony. The concept of this study is the communication theory in the context of the ontological metaphor to analyze the data. The result of the study shows that most of the utterances in the traditional ceremony use ontological metaphors.

Abstract

The research fills an essential void in morphological studies by examining the overlooked morphophonemic allomorphs of the prefix sa- [sa-] in Toba Batak, an at-risk Austronesian language. This research addresses this gap by utilizing a customized version of Halle’s (1973) generative morphology framework, specifically adapted to the distinct linguistic characteristics of Toba Batak, to examine data gathered from 12 native speakers in Samosir Regency and Toba Samosir Regency. As the technical novelty, the research uncovers four unique morphophonemic allomorphs  of the prefix sa- [sa-] in Toba Batak based on a generative and pedagogical perspective, namely, (i) sam- [sam-], (ii) san- [san-], (iii) sang- [saŋ], and (iv) sangng- [saŋŋ-]. The study highlights that the prefix sa- [sa-] in Toba Batak is productive, generating a wealth of grammatical and lexical meanings that stem exclusively from alternating forms. The modified Hallean model, which includes orthographic and phonological rules, effectively captures these subtleties, providing a novel framework. The consequences reach applied areas such as pedagogical perspective, revitalization, language instruction, and cultural renewal, highlighting the necessity of protecting regional languages like Toba Batak in the face of globalization. The implications extend to connect theoretical linguistics with practical conservation activities, promoting additional research on lesser-known languages Keywords: Morphophonemic Allomorphs, Prefix sa-, Toba Batak Verbs, Generative and Pedagogical Perspective

Abstract

Background of the problem: Communication in social networks and everyday life, we use language as a means of communication. Language is a tool of interaction or communication, which is a tool to convey thoughts, ideas, concepts, and emotions. Language is also considered a system of symbols in the form of sounds that are arbitrary, agile, dynamic, diverse, and humanized. Language is a communication tool to convey messages to others, and through language, humans can interact with others. Purpose: The objectives of this research are to identify the types of implicature’s contained in hate speech in the TikTok social media comment section. Method: The research method used by researchers in this study is a qualitative approach using a descriptive type. Documentation technique is a technique where data obtained for research needs comes from existing documents on written objects, books, pictures, which are related to the object of research. In this study, the documentation used is by taking documentation in the form of screenshots or screenshots of uploads or comments found on social media TikTok. Result: As a result of this research, the author concludes that there are two types of implicature, including 1) conversational implicature and 2) conventional implicature.  Implication: This study provides insight into how implicatures, both conversational and conventional, are used in hate speech on social media. This study contributes to the broader field of pragmatics by illustrating how language functions in digital communication.
