Abstract

This study looked at the discourses used by former U.S. President Trump against immigrants. Specifically, the rhetorical expressions, metaphorical approaches, semantic expressions, linguistic features, and classifications of ideologies in the political discourses were explored. Findings show that the discourses contained various rhetorical expressions and discourse patterns in his political speeches. With the use of conceptual metaphor theory for analysis, it showed that he expressed racism against immigrants and immigration and his political speeches also contained pieces of evidence of negative rhetorical expressions towards illegal immigrants. Findings show that the discursive components could be very instrumental in determining how politicians or leaders express their political ideologies on the issue of immigration, racism, and other socio-political issues in a country.

Abstract

Many people consider teaching a noble profession. Teachers enter the education profession and are attracted to teaching as a career because of what they view as the role of the teacher. Also, teachers find their professions very rewarding. However, educators, specifically those who are new in the profession, encounter challenges too. This study seeks to understand the lived experiences of young college teachers handling English as a Second Language (ESL) courses in an open admission academe. In this study, a qualitative-phenomenological inquiry is employed. Seven young faculty members aged 20-25 years old with less than five years of teaching experience share their rewarding experiences, challenges, and hopes with ESL education in open admission academe. Triangulation is used in this study through three data-gathering and verification modes: in-depth interview, focus group discussion, and checklist. The experiences of the participants show that they have love for the profession, that they see teaching as a rewarding profession, and that disconnect still exists between teaching and their prior training. The participants also shared their stories on student learning and their experiences with the preparation programs and some practical elements in teaching. Participants also expressed that they too experience burdensome workload, stress, and burnout. It has been concluded that these faculty participants view their teaching career as fulfilling, challenging, and life-changing.

Abstract

This study examined the discourses in the State of the City Addresses (SOCAs) of the former Mayor Davao City Sara Duterte-Carpio. Specifically, the rhetorical expressions, semantic expressions, linguistic features, and classifications of ideologies in the political discourses were explored. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis, the researchers explored the use of language and the ideologies represented in such. Findings show that the SOCAs of former Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio contained a variety of rhetorical expressions and discourse patterns. The researchers also found significant results about semantic macrostructures, which vary from one speech to another. The ideology of positive Us was also represented through powerful statements that show the importance of former Mayor Sara's leadership, administration, projects, and all people involved in her success. The researchers conclude that the former Davao City Mayor used words powerfully to highlight essential accomplishments and to express the value of the critical actors that made these achievements possible.

Abstract

The Studio Ghibli AI trend, an online phenomenon that has sparked a widespread fascination amongst individuals, swept across social media platforms after gaining significant traction on March 26. Grant Slatton, a software engineer later branded as the trendsetter, posted an AI-generated image of him and his wife along with their dog at the beach, rendered in the signature style of Studio Ghibli. The researchers noticed that many scholars have conducted similar research about the use of AI in Ghibli-style art; however, the research results are lacking, and more findings are needed to understand the topic thoroughly. The main objective of this study is to identify the dominant discourse used by the netizens present during the online discussion. Identifying the dominant discourse use will help the researchers understand why netizens use this discourse to gain power through language use. This research will analyse the dominant discourse use found in the comment section, specifically, it analyzes the prevailing discourse patterns in the social media discussion using Harris's (1952) framework; these dominant discourses were analyzed to examine how it is being used to establish power through language use in the comment section. The findings reveal that the dominant discourse presented in the corpora includes: "AI" as a noun (negative), "AI"-related adjectives (as insults), "art" (AI art not being recognized as art), and "artist" (AI prompters not recognized as artists). The findings suggest that many netizens struggle to comprehend the nature of AI and how it is being used today.

Abstract

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of the narratives from biological and trans women regarding the inclusion of trans women in celebrating Women's History Month. Utilizing Labov and Waletzky's Structural Approach to Narrative, the study examines the linguistic nuances in the narratives of ten participants—five trans women advocating for inclusion (Group A) and five biological women expressing reservation about trans women’s inclusion (Group B). The analysis reveals significant differences between the two groups' use of evaluative and referential clauses. Group A's narratives predominantly feature evaluative clauses (59%), reflecting personal emotions and subjective interpretations of their experiences. Group B's narratives are characterized by a higher percentage of referential clauses (65%), focusing on their actual experiences and centering on the factual events. This disparity illustrates how each group's beliefs manifest in their narratives, highlighting the complexities of gender identity and inclusion within feminist discourse. The findings also revealed the importance of identifying referential and evaluative clauses in understanding the stances of trans and biological women, further underscoring the importance of recognizing diverse perspectives in the ongoing conversation about women's rights and the need for a deeper understanding of the implications of these differences in shaping feminist narratives. This study contributes valuable insights to the fields of feminism, linguistics, and social activism, advocating for a more inclusive dialogue that honors the experiences of all women.
