Abstract

This study applies Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, utilizing Teun A. van Dijk’s methodological framework. Since its release in 1975, the song has captivated audiences with its intricate composition and enigmatic lyrics, sparking diverse interpretations. This research explores how language and discourse within the lyrics reflect, construct, and challenge dominant ideologies and power structures. Through van Dijk’s model, the study examines the macrostructure, microstructure, and superstructure of the song in relation to social cognition and contextual influences. By analyzing linguistic choices, narrative elements, and intertextual meanings, the research reveals how the song navigates themes of identity, defiance, and existential turmoil. The findings indicate that Bohemian Rhapsody extends beyond its musical significance, functioning as a vehicle for cultural critique and social reflection. This study underscores the interdisciplinary relevance of CDA in music analysis, highlighting how discourse in popular songs both shapes and mirrors sociocultural dynamics, reinforcing their role in critical discourse studies.

Abstract

This research is to describe the expressive actions and how expressive speech acts describe the psychology of the protagonist, and why expressive actions have a negative impact on the protagonist's psychology in Toni Morrison's Blue Eyes novel. A terrible discrimination in the form of racism and conventional beauty standards against African-American women in America during the 1940s, experienced by the main character Pecola, had a negative impact on her psychology due to being raped by her father and the pressure from her mother's rejection, which further worsened her mental condition, giving her deep trauma so that she lived in her dreams of having blue eyes until she died. The research method used is descriptive qualitative according to W. Webster, which involves describing and categorizing words, phrases, and general ideas in qualitative data. The main data source is a novel supported by books, journals, and electronic news. Data was collected through observation, grouping, and information gathering using pragmatic validity, especially Searle's theory in Yule, and Sigmund Freud's theory with a philosophical approach to help readers understand speech acts as a whole. The significant of this study is to determine expressive acts and how expressive speech acts depict the protagonist's psychology, and why expressive acts have a negative impact on the protagonist's psychology in Toni Morrison's novel Blue Eyes. In this context, the main character uses expressive speech acts in her utterances, which means experiencing psychological states that contain meanings of pleasure, pain, like, dislike, joy, sadness, and apology. The results of this study indicate that expressive speech acts by Pecola are dominated by sadness, dislike, and dreams.

Abstract

This study analyzes the news narrative “Aceh Tak Masuk Daerah Rawan Pilkada Serentak, Lima Provinsi Memiliki Potensi Tinggi” using Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model to explore Aceh’s portrayal as a role model of democratic success. The research aims to uncover how this narrative influences perceptions of Aceh’s stability among local and national audiences, particularly in contrast to its historical association with conflict. This study adopts a qualitative approach, employing Van Dijk’s CDA framework, which consists of three dimensions: textual analysis, social cognition, and sociopolitical context. The data were collected through a textual analysis of media discourse and audience surveys involving 47 respondents (37 from Aceh and 10 from outside Aceh). The textual analysis focuses on the structural composition of the news, while the audience survey examines how different groups perceive the narrative. The results indicate that 72.73% of local respondents express pride in Aceh’s depiction as a safe and stable region, yet 43.24% remain neutral about its relevance to current realities. Among national respondents, 100% perceive the narrative positively, with 50% strongly agreeing that Aceh serves as a model for democratic management. These findings demonstrate that media discourse effectively challenges stereotypes and promotes a positive image of Aceh, particularly to national audiences. However, local acceptance requires narratives grounded in authentic experiences. This study contributes to discourse analysis by showing how positive discourse can transform public perception, highlighting its potential to promote post-conflict regions as examples of democratic success.

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic review of scholarly literature published between 2015 and 2025 that explores narrative through a linguistic lens. The review aims to identify and synthesize major critical and theoretical frameworks applied to narrative studies within the field of linguistics. A total of 36 peer-reviewed studies were selected through comprehensive searches across major academic databases using keywords related to narrative linguistics, discourse analysis, and critical theory. The findings reveal four dominant categories of analysis: structuralist and formal linguistic frameworks, cognitive linguistic approaches, critical discourse analysis (CDA), and multimodal/digital narrative frameworks. While structuralist approaches focus on the formal organization of narrative elements such as syntax and coherence, cognitive frameworks emphasize the role of mental representation, conceptual blending, and embodiment in narrative comprehension. CDA-based studies investigate how narratives construct and challenge power relations, while multimodal approaches explore how meaning is shaped across verbal, visual, and digital modes. This review demonstrates a clear disciplinary shift toward integrative and socially responsive frameworks, reflecting the increasing complexity of narrative forms in contemporary communication. The study also identifies emerging gaps in cross-cultural perspectives and digital multimodal theory, suggesting directions for future research. By mapping recent developments in narrative theory from a linguistic standpoint, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how language constructs, conveys, and transforms stories across contexts.

Abstract

This paper investigates the provocative question: can artificial intelligence (AI) know things? through an epistemological lens. Drawing upon a systematic literature review (SLR) of works published 2010–2020, the study maps how scholars have applied classical and contemporary epistemic criteria—such as belief‑likeness, truth, justification, reliability, interpretability, and epistemic agency—to AI systems. In doing so, it examines competing theoretical frameworks (internalism, externalism, virtue epistemology, Bayesian approaches) and identifies areas of convergence and contention. The review reveals that while many AI systems satisfy externalist criteria of reliability and truth‑tracking under controlled conditions, they often fall short of internalist demands for justificatory transparency or reflective access. Opacity and “black‑box” architectures remain central obstacles to attributing knowledge in the classical sense. Furthermore, the influence of AI on human belief formation and the shift in epistemic environments suggest that even absent true knowledge, AI plays a significant role in mediating knowledge practices. Ethical and normative considerations (e.g. fairness, accountability, epistemic justice) also emerge as inseparable from epistemological assessments, prompting calls for a “glass‑box epistemology” that integrates design, interpretability, and value sensitivity. In concluding, the paper argues that AI may function as a contributor to human knowledge workflows rather than as autonomous knowers. It sets out a nuanced perspective: acknowledging AI’s epistemic potential while remaining critical of overextensions. Finally, it suggests future paths: refining epistemic thresholds, embedding interpretability in AI design, and expanding the discourse across cultural and disciplinary contexts.

Abstract

Language and knowledge are fundamentally intertwined, shaping how individuals perceive, interpret, and express reality. This study investigates epistemic verbs as linguistic indicators of knowledge and belief within two distinct epistemological and cultural frameworks: English and Mandarin Chinese. By adopting a qualitative descriptive–comparative approach, grounded in functional linguistics and epistemic discourse analysis, this research explores how epistemic verbs reflect the ways speakers conceptualize truth, certainty, and cognition. The data were collected from authentic corpora—including dialogues, news articles, academic essays, and conversational transcripts—and analyzed through semantic, pragmatic, and cultural dimensions using triangulated methods. Findings reveal that English epistemic verbs (e.g., know, believe, think, guess) form a hierarchical and explicit epistemic system, emphasizing rational certainty, empirical evidence, and individual cognition, consistent with Western philosophical traditions. In contrast, Mandarin epistemic verbs (e.g., 知道 zhīdào, 认为 rènwéi, 觉得 juéde, 相信 xiāngxìn) display contextual, relational, and affective orientations, integrating emotion and social harmony in the expression of knowledge, reflecting an Eastern holistic worldview. Comparative analysis demonstrates that English expresses epistemic stance vertically, based on degrees of certainty, while Mandarin expresses it horizontally, emphasizing social context and relational appropriateness. These contrasts highlight deeper philosophical divides between Western rationalism and Eastern relational holism, suggesting that linguistic forms mirror epistemological ideologies. The study concludes that epistemic verbs are not mere grammatical categories but cognitive-cultural constructs that embody each society’s way of “knowing” and “believing.” Understanding these differences is vital for intercultural communication, as epistemic misalignment often leads to pragmatic misunderstanding between English and Mandarin speakers. This research contributes to the emerging field of cross-cultural epistemic linguistics, offering insights into how language, cognition, and culture collectively shape the human expression of knowledge.

Abstract

Changes in a society produce social critiques which in turn become a means of communicating new ideas in addition to assessing old ideas for social change, in short as a vehicle for the conservation and reproduction of a social system. Social critique can be conveyed through literary works; this is seen from the short story of Merdeka by Putu Wijaya. Through a dystopian literary approach and supported by related theories and concepts, it is revealed that this short story is full of social critiques as a result of the author's observations of his environment. The flow of dystopia is generally speculative, presenting a catastrophic or chaotic landscape of the future civilization of the world. Dystopian literature is always associated with socio-political discourse. Overall this research is carried out using a qualitative descriptive method with the aim of presenting a complete picture of the social setting and clarification of social phenomena in the short story of Merdeka and then synchronizing it with social reality. The results show that the forms of social critique conveyed by the author is lack of self-introspection, social gap and environmental damage. These three forms of social critique if uncontrolled can cause chaos in the social system because the main result is conflict, the color of dystopian literature.

Abstract

This study explores the symbolic constructs and thematic intricacies in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, with a particular focus on the novel’s most significant symbols and their interpretive depth. Recognizing that literary symbolism often transcends literal meaning, the research aims to analyze how specific symbols in the novel function not only as narrative devices but also as representations of broader philosophical and emotional themes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study contrasts the denotative meanings of selected symbols with their connotative and symbolic significance, using direct textual evidence from the novel. The analysis reveals that The Little Prince is rich in symbolic imagery—such as the fox, the rose, the baobab tree, the desert, and the stars—all of which serve as allegorical elements reflecting themes of love, loss, connection, responsibility, and existential insight. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that these symbolic elements contribute to the novel’s enduring emotional resonance and its philosophical depth, inviting readers to engage with its meaning on multiple interpretive levels.

Abstract

Ode to a Nightingale, composed in the spring of 1819, is widely regarded as one of John Keats' most profound poetic achievements. Inspired by the spontaneous experience of hearing a nightingale's song, the poem presents a speaker who, while immersed in an imagined forest, engages in deep reflection on the themes of beauty, mortality, temporality, nature, and human suffering. The nightingale functions not merely as a bird, but as a symbol of transcendent beauty and imaginative escape from the harsh realities of life. This study examines the Romantic elements embedded in the poem—namely Nature, Supernaturalism, Contemplation, Beauty, and Love—by employing an intrinsic literary approach as formulated by Wellek and Warren. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, as outlined by Creswell, this research focuses on textual analysis to uncover how these Romantic features are interwoven into the fabric of the poem. The findings underscore how Ode to a Nightingale not only exemplifies Romantic ideals but also reflects broader social and existential concerns, affirming literature's role as a mirror of human experience.

Abstract

This study explores students’ mastery of the simple present tense in verbal sentences, emphasizing their ability to construct positive, negative, and interrogative forms. The research was conducted at SMP Bandar Klippa, located in Kecamatan Percut Sei Tuan, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, during the 2023/2024 academic year. Employing a descriptive quantitative design, the study utilized an objective multiple-choice test as its primary instrument. A purposive sample of 23 students was selected from a population of 142. The findings indicate that students’ overall mastery of the simple present tense falls within the “fail” category, with a mean score of 49.56. Among the three forms assessed, Formula I (positive sentences) appeared as the most dominant, with a mean score of 0.52 or 37%. These results suggest that students struggle more with negative and interrogative sentence construction. Hence, adopting more contextualized and communicative grammar teaching methods is strongly recommended to enhance students’ grammatical accuracy and practical use of English in real-life communication.
