Abstract

This study examines gender differences in the use of question tags and performative utterances in the film Enola Holmes (2020). Using Jennifer Coates’ theory of gender and language and speech act theory, the research examines how these linguistic features function in relation to power, politeness, and identity construction within a patriarchal Victorian context. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data taken from the film script and analyzed through pragmatic and textual approaches. The findings show that female characters, particularly Enola Holmes, use question tags more frequently and for diverse pragmatic functions, such as emotional confirmation, rhetorical questioning, and negotiation of meaning. These uses are not signs of uncertainty but serve as strategic interactional resources to assert agency and challenge male authority. Male characters tend to use more performative utterances in the form of commands, reflecting their institutional power. Overall, the study supports the view that gendered language differences are socially constructed.

Abstract

This study examines the themes of reconciliation and belonging in Claire Keegan’s novella Foster using Reader-Response Theory, particularly the ideas of Louise Rosenblatt and Wolfgang Iser. The research focuses on how silence and ordinary domestic routines express emotional healing and acceptance. Rather than presenting reconciliation through dramatic events or explicit dialogue, Keegan portrays it through quiet moments, small gestures, and what is left unsaid. The findings reveal that silence functions as a meaningful emotional space where grief and care coexist, while everyday activities such as cooking and shared routines redefine reconciliation as emotional presence rather than spoken forgiveness. Keegan’s minimalist style encourages readers to participate in constructing meaning, making belonging an emotional experience rather than only a biological relationship.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of multiple derivational affixation in the novel Di Tanah Lada by Ziggy Zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie. The research aims to identify the types of multiple affixes used in the text and to analyze their morphotactic structure as well as the resulting shifts in word class and meaning. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through observation and note-taking from linguistic units found in the novel. The analysis is based on Aronoff’s word-based morphology theory and Lieber’s hierarchical structure theory to explain the layered formation of complex words. The findings reveal several patterns of multiple affixation, including prefixes (meN-, ber-, pe-, ter-), suffixes (-an, -kan, -i), and confixes (ke- -an and per- -an/pe- -an). Among these, confixes appear most frequently and function primarily to form abstract nouns expressing emotional or mental states. The analysis also demonstrates that multiple affixation contributes to categorical shifts and semantic expansion in the narrative. Overall, the study highlights how the flexibility of Indonesian derivational morphology enriches the expressive and narrative quality of literary texts.
