Abstract

This study analyses the characters and narrative structure of the animated film Inside Out (2015) through the lens of Vladimir Propp’s Morphology of the Folktale. While Propp’s theory, originally developed for Russian folktales, identifies thirty-one narrative functions and seven spheres of action in traditional storytelling, this research investigates its applicability to a modern psychological animated film featuring emotion-based characters. The study employs qualitative narrative analysis to map Inside Out’s characters such as Joy, Sadness, Bing Bong, and others, into Propp’s character roles such as hero, helper, donor, and villain, and to identify how the film’s plot aligns with Propp’s narrative functions. Findings reveal that despite the absence of a conventional villain and the abstract nature of its characters, Inside Out effectively mirrors many of Propp’s narrative structures, with Joy’s emotional journey serving as the heroic quest. The study highlights how internal emotional conflicts and symbolic characters can fulfil classical narrative roles, thereby extending Propp’s theory beyond its folkloric origins to contemporary animated storytelling. This study recommends that future research apply Propp’s framework to a broader range of modern films and conduct comparative analyses across traditional folktales and contemporary media to further examine the adaptability of classical narrative models. Additionally, the study suggests the pedagogical use of animated films as effective tools for teaching narrative theory and developing students’ critical analytical skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the lexical kinship between the Dayak Ngaju and Banjar Kuala languages in Kalimantan through a lexicostatistical approach, driven by the urgent need to map and preserve under-researched Austronesian languages. The primary aim is to determine the degree of linguistic relatedness based on core vocabulary and to classify their historical relationship. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, the study analyzed 200 basic vocabulary items drawn from Lexirumah and the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database using purposive sampling. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel and analyzed through Swadesh’s lexicostatistical formula to calculate the percentage of cognates and determine the genealogical classification. The results reveal a lexical similarity of 31%, categorizing the relationship as a “stock” level of kinship according to Keraf’s classification. These findings support the hypothesis that the two languages share a historical connection, confirming systematic phonological correspondences such as apocope, apheresis, and metathesis. The study contributes to comparative historical linguistics and provides practical implications for language preservation, curriculum development, and further field-based linguistic research in Kalimantan and beyond.
