Abstract

The purposes of this study were to analyze the blended words found in 9GAG posts on Twitter in conveying humor and discover their meanings. This study applied a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were collected from 9GAG posts containing blended words in conveying humor through observation and documentation analysis. The study's findings indicated that there were 15 blended words found in 9GAG posts in conveying humor. Furthermore, the meanings obtained by the researchers differ as well. Many words were semantically similar to those listed in dictionaries, while others had an unconventional meaning, which can be used and interpreted only in certain contexts. Additionally, these findings were useful as language updates by listing new words discovered in the dictionary. It can rapidly enhance people’s linguistic understanding, especially EFL teachers and students who teach and learn English using this account. So, the misinterpretations and ambiguities that occurred this time could be minimized.

Abstract

The introduction section of a thesis or research paper serves as a critical foundation, providing readers with a clear understanding of its objectives, context, and significance. This study aims to analyze the rhetorical structure of introduction sections in undergraduate theses to identify patterns and variations in their construction. Specifically, the research investigates the use of Swales’ revised Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model in 10 undergraduate theses from two universities. This qualitative analysis uses a dataset randomly selected from a larger corpus, combining Swales’ CARS model with frequency analysis of moves and steps, as described by Kanoksilapatham (2005). The findings reveal consistent application of Moves 1, 2, and 3, although the frequency of specific steps varies. Moreover, all writers demonstrated appropriate sequencing of moves and steps, aligning with the CARS framework. These results aim to provide valuable insights for academic writing pedagogy, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors, in helping students develop effective thesis introductions. Additionally, the findings contribute to enhancing EFL students' skills in writing well-structured introductions and increasing researchers’ competency in crafting coherent and impactful introductory sections.
