Abstract

Language is more than a communication tool; it embodies cultural identity, social hierarchy, and shared values. In the Batu Bara Malay community, address systems function as structured linguistic expressions of age, rank, kinship, and familiarity, with respect and politeness being integral to interpersonal interactions—especially in addressing elders or individuals of higher status. However, the advent of globalization and social media has introduced new modes of communication among the younger generation, creating tension between traditional norms and emerging language practices. This study investigates the address systems and politeness strategies in the Batu Bara Malay community, focusing on how these are used and transformed in social interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and linguistic ethnography, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving native speakers across varying ages and social strata. The findings highlight the complex variety of address terms and politeness strategies that reflect deep-rooted cultural values and social order. Despite generational shifts, the community continues to uphold linguistic traditions as a means of preserving cultural identity and maintaining social cohesion.

Abstract

Interpersonal relationships and friendship are central themes in literary works, yet they are rarely examined through communication theories such as Social Penetration Theory. This study addresses the limited application of communication theories in literary analysis by examining interpersonal relationships in Fast as the Wind by Nat Gould. It highlights the contribution of integrating communication theory into literary studies, particularly in understanding character interaction and relational development. A qualitative descriptive method is employed using content analysis of dialogues and narrative elements that reflect communication patterns and self-disclosure. The analysis reveals that social penetration occurs through four stages: orientation, exploratory affective exchange, affective exchange, and stable exchange, indicating a progression from superficial interaction to deeper emotional intimacy. Three types of friendship are identified: reciprocal, receptive, and associative, with reciprocal friendship as the most dominant. The results further show that trust, self-disclosure, and social context play significant roles in shaping interpersonal depth and relational dynamics among characters. The horse racing setting not only creates competition but also fosters cooperation and strong interpersonal bonds. These findings reinforce the relevance of communication theories in literary analysis and expand their applicability in interpreting interpersonal dynamics in fictional narratives.

Abstract

This research analyses the portrayal of masculine qualities in female characters in Kevin Kwan's novel Crazy Rich Asians. Masculinity and femininity are socially constructed gender identities often associated exclusively with men and women respectively. However, scholars argue that masculinity does not belong solely to men and can be produced by women as well. While previous studies have examined gender representation in literature, limited attention has been given to how contemporary Asian popular fiction portrays female masculinity within the cultural tension between traditional Asian values and modern individualism. This study addresses that gap. Using Peter Lehman's masculinity theory as an analytical framework—identifying power, leadership, courage, and heroism—this research examines four female characters. The findings demonstrate that all four masculine qualities are present. Power is portrayed through Rachel Chu's ability to influence others and Eleanor Young's social dominance. Leadership is demonstrated by Eleanor Young's confident command. Courage is exhibited by Kerry Chu's defiance of societal expectations and Astrid Leong's bravery in confronting infidelity. Heroism is shown through Astrid Leong's concern for others and a maid who risked her livelihood to expose a harmful plot. This research demonstrates that masculine qualities are not biologically determined but socially constructed, challenging rigid gender stereotypes and redefining female identity as capable of integrating both feminine and masculine traits.
