Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of female rivalry in Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend, focusing on the complex relationship between the two protagonists, Elena “Lenu” Greco and Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo. Employing a qualitative descriptive method and the sociology of literature approach, the research explores both the contents and underlying factors of their rivalry. Data were collected through close reading and analyzed based on theoretical frameworks concerning female competition. The findings reveal that the rivalry between Lenu and Lila centers on three main dimensions: attractiveness, encompassing Lila’s intellectual brilliance and magnetic personality; beauty and physical appearance, which create deep insecurities for Lenu; and similarity of interests, particularly their shared passion for learning and recognition. These dynamics are further intensified by two driving factors: competition for male attention and Lenu’s persistent lack of self-confidence. The study concludes that female rivalry, even within a deep friendship, functions as both a source of motivation and emotional struggle, reflecting broader societal expectations surrounding women’s beauty, intellect, and desirability.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how youth identities are represented within social media discourse, particularly on the Instagram platform. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Norman Fairclough’s framework, this research explores the relationship between language, power, and ideology in the production and consumption of digital content. The data were collected from Instagram posts and captions that depict Indonesian youths’ lifestyle, self-expression, and social image. The findings reveal that youth identity representations on Instagram are often constructed through consumptive symbols, visual aesthetics, and narratives of freedom and authenticity. However, beneath these narratives lie the hegemonic influence of popular culture and social pressure to perform an idealized self-image. The study concludes that social media functions not merely as a space for self-expression but as an arena of discursive struggle where meanings and power relations shape youth identities. This research contributes to critical discussions on how digital media mediates the construction of identity in contemporary society.

Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesia’s Independence Day slogans from 2015 to 2025 through Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, focusing on Interpersonal Metafunction. As annual commemorative texts, these slogans function not only as symbolic expressions of independence but also as strategic discourses that negotiate power, construct solidarity, and reinforce national identity. Employing qualitative discourse analysis, the research investigates mood, modality, pronoun usage, evaluative lexis, and the interplay of explicit and implicit meanings. The findings indicate that declarative and imperative moods position citizens within relationships of inclusivity and responsibility, while modality expresses urgency and commitment. Evaluative vocabulary conveys optimism and resilience, with explicit meanings emphasizing productivity, recovery, and progress, and implicit meanings connecting contemporary challenges to historical struggles and the long-term vision of Indonesia Emas 2045. Overall, Independence Day slogans function as condensed ideological texts that bridge past sacrifices with future aspirations, illustrating the discursive power of language in shaping nationalism and providing practical insights for developing effective national slogans.

Abstract

Roblox has emerged as one of the most influential user-generated digital ecosystems, in which multimodal resources visual design, spatial organization, avatar customization, interface affordances, and linguistic interaction play a central role in the construction of identity and the negotiation of power. This study examines how power relations and identity positions are discursively produced across three highly popular Roblox user-generated worlds: Brookhaven RP, Adopt Me, and Bloxburg. Drawing on Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), informed by social semiotics and critical discourse theory, the study analyzes screenshots, spatial configurations, and in-game chat interactions to uncover ideological meanings embedded in these environments. The findings demonstrate that hierarchical relations are reproduced through spatial zoning, access restrictions, monetized affordances, and avatar aesthetics that index wealth, status, and social legitimacy. Linguistic interactions further reinforce symbolic domination through gatekeeping, commands, and exclusionary practices. Collectively, these multimodal resources construct narratives of consumerism, meritocracy, and social stratification that shape how young users understand agency, belonging, and value in digital spaces. This article contributes to English Studies by conceptualizing Roblox worlds as multimodal texts requiring critical literacy, and to Information Technology by foregrounding how platform affordances structure discourse production and social relations.

Abstract

Abstract. Gender issues have remained a hot issue owing to various influencing factors, including gender overlap and social inequality. Gender is a social sex reconstructed by society for both men and women. The gender difference stereotypes have given rise to gender injustice detrimental to women. The presence of the concept of existential feminism initiated by Simone De Beauvoir is a bright spot and hope for all women, especially those in patriarchal system communities. The purpose of this research is to uncover the traditional paradigm that women are cultural products and their independence is delimited. This is not in accordance with the concept of human rights which basically states that every human being has the same rights in carrying out life. So it is hoped that this paper can be used as a reference to eliminate the marginalization of women. The research is carried out using a qualitative descriptive design with phenomenological method to explore or photograph social situations thoroughly, broadly and deeply and also supported by the theory of sociology of literature, the description of social reality in literary works. The data collection procedures and the data analysis are done systematically based on the existing theories of qualitative research method. The results of the research show that the protagonist implements the existential feminist concept through the ability to work, being intellectual and responsible.  Throughout the research it is proved that existential feminism still exists to explore the marginalization of woman, summed up with a text that women are independent beings. Keywords: Existential Feminism, Intellect, Profession, Responsibility

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in improving simple sentence construction among second-year students at MTS Asmah Zaijuli Hamid, Hamparan Perak. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest, 20 eighth-grade students were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through written tests measuring five aspects of simple sentences: main clause, subject, predicate, verb, and vocabulary. The treatment followed Willis's three-stage TBLT procedure: pre-task, task-cycle, and language focus. The findings indicate that TBLT significantly enhances learners' grammatical performance, particularly in constructing simple sentences. This improvement can be attributed to the interactive and meaning-focused nature of TBLT, which facilitates both linguistic accuracy and communicative competence. The mean score improved from 64 (good category) in the pretest to 81 (very good category) in the post-test. Hypothesis testing using paired sample t-test revealed t-count (2.98769) > t-table (2.10092) at α = 0.05, indicating a significant effect of TBLT. These findings demonstrate that TBLT significantly enhances students' ability to construct simple sentences. The approach proves effective because it provides authentic contexts for language use, encourages student interaction, and offers systematic scaffolding. This research contributes empirical evidence of TBLT's effectiveness in teaching grammar at the Indonesian junior high school level. Recommendations are provided for teachers, students, and future researchers.
