Abstract

Lexical verbs like enhance and improve are crucial in academic writing, signaling change, development, and authorial stance. However, their use by native (L1) and non-native (L2) English writers remains underexplored. This comparative study investigates the frequency, grammatical patterns, and stance-related functions of these verbs in journal articles by L1 and L2 authors. Using AntConc and Partington et al.’s (2013) evaluative stance framework, the study analyzes syntactic and semantic usage. Results show that while both groups use the verbs correctly, L1 writers prefer abstract, passive, and nominalized structures that reflect disciplinary conventions and subtle evaluation. L2 writers, however, favor active constructions and concrete collocations, often linked to observable outcomes or instructional contexts. These differences reveal varied approaches to expressing stance and rhetorical positioning, suggesting that L1 writers demonstrate greater awareness of disciplinary norms. The study emphasizes the role of verb choice and syntactic form in academic identity construction and offers implications for academic writing instruction, particularly in supporting L2 writers’ engagement with disciplinary discourse.

Abstract

Grammatical accuracy remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners, particularly in descriptive writing, which demands precise language and structural control. This study investigated grammatical errors in a corpus of thirty descriptive texts produced by Indonesian high-school EFL learners, aiming to identify their types, classification, and underlying causes. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, errors were first identified through Azar’s coding system and classified using Bialystok et al.’s Surface Structure Taxonomy. Their causes were then interpreted through Corder’s and Ellis’ theoretical models, distinguishing intralingual from interlingual sources. Quantitative analysis showed singular-plural errors as the most frequent, followed by word choice, word form, and punctuation errors. Omission dominated misformation, addition and misordering, suggesting cognitive constraints or negative L1 transfer. Qualitative interpretation indicated that intralingual errors, comprising overgeneralization and simplification, significantly outweighed interlingual ones, highlighting the developmental nature of learners’ interlanguage at the intermediate level. The study underscores the need for clarification of complex grammatical structures, focused vocabulary development, the promotion of proofreading skills, and systematic feedback to address learners’ persistent difficulties in morphology, lexis, and mechanics. The insights gained from this analysis offer practical implications for improving writing curriculum design and instructional strategies.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the figurative language used in the animation movie Inside Out 2. The objectives were to identify the types and functions of figurative language used by the emotion characters in the movie. The study used a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from the movie script and dialogues spoken by characters such as Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Anxiety, Ennui, Envy, and Embarrassment. Based on Abrams’ theory, the researcher found 10 types of figurative language, including 1 metaphor, 2 similes, 13 hyperboles, 3 personifications, 2 synecdoches, 3 onomatopoeias, 1 allusion, 3 symbolisms, 4 metonymies, and 10 ironies. Furthermore, the functions were analyzed using Perrine’s theory, which includes 11 imaginative enjoyment, 3 detailed imagery, 17 emotional depth, and 11 conveying meaning in few words. The study concluded that figurative language in Inside Out 2 played an important role in expressing emotions, supporting the movie’s theme about growing up and emotional development.Keywords: Figurative language, Inside Out 2, emotional expression
