Abstract

Experiencing trauma after a distressing event can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To protect themselves from fear and anxiety, individuals often employ defense mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to identify PTSD and defense mechanisms in the main character, Allison, in the movie A Good Person, directed by Zach Braff. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method and is based on Rasna Kaur Neelam’s theory, which is rooted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Additionally, Sigmund Freud’s theory of defense mechanisms is referenced in this research. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The PTSD type exhibited by the main character is comorbid. There are three symptoms: flashbacks, depression, and oxycodone addiction. (2) The predominant defense mechanism in the movie is denial. (3) Through a perspective analysis, it is evident that Allison's behavior is influenced by her id and ego, with an absence of the superego. This lack of the superego significantly impacts her moral judgment and self-criticism, indicating the influence of her PTSD on her psyche.

Abstract

Abstract. This Hallidayan-based study aimed to investigate the representation of consumptive and productive behaviours in English textbooks for senior high school students. To obtain the purpose of this study, two grade-12 English textbooks used nationally in Indonesia were purposively selected. Then reading texts about finance issues were analysed by employing the Hallidayan SFL framework of material clause. Based on the analysis, it was found that the dominant material clauses (40%) in the books construe productive behaviours while the second frequent ones (32%) represent consumptive behaviours. However, there is the tendency to represent money as a goal. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to developing finance literacy in English textbook materials for Indonesian senior-high-school students. While the portrayal of productive behaviours in textbooks is salient for the development of their finance literacy, there is also a need to avoid building money-oriented paradigmKeywords: Productive, consumptive, behaviours, textbook, SFL

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of phrasal verbs in five selected songs from The Best of Celine Dion album. The study focuses on identifying the types of phrasal verbs and interpreting their contextual meanings within the song lyrics. A descriptive qualitative method was applied with purposive sampling, selecting five songs: The Power of Love, To Love You More, My Heart Will Go on and on, Because You Loved Me, and Then You Look at Me. The collected phrasal verbs were classified based on their structure and grammatical functions, including transitive, intransitive, separable, and inseparable forms. The findings showed a total of 19 phrasal verbs used across the five songs. The Power of Love contained the highest number with 6 occurrences, while My Heart Will Go on and on had the fewest with only 2 occurrences. The phrasal verbs serve to enrich emotional expression in the lyrics, particularly in conveying themes such as loyalty, hope, love, and emotional support within a relationship. This study is expected to contribute to applied linguistic studies, especially in enhancing learners’ understanding of phrasal verb usage in authentic contexts such as song lyrics.

Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic realization of deixis in five selected tracks from Frank Ocean’s Blonde album. The analysis focuses on person, temporal, and spatial deixis to determine how deictic expressions encode emotional stance, identity construction, and relational positioning within the lyrics. The research applies a qualitative descriptive methods , with data obtained through lyric transcription and interpreted using contextual pragmatic analysis.The results indicate that person deixis, especially the oscillation between “I,” “you,” and “we,” frames asymmetrical emotional relations and reveals shifts in intimacy, vulnerability, and self-awareness. Temporal deixis captures the interplay between past memory, present instability, and imagined futures, exposing fluctuating psychological states. Meanwhile, spatial deixis functions metaphorically to mark emotional spaces rather than physical settings, signifying belonging, transition, and internal refuge.Overall, deixis in Blonde operates not merely as a referential device but as a stylistic mechanism that articulates affective complexity and identity negotiation. This research contributes to pragmatic stylistics by demonstrating how deictic strategies in song lyrics can index psychological depth and relational meaning, thereby offering a basis for further linguistic examinations of musical discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of implicature in the lyrics of Radiohead’s album OK Computer within the broader field of pragmatics, emphasizing how meaning is constructed beyond literal interpretation in artistic discourse. The study aims to identify the types of implicature present in the album and to explain how implied meanings are generated through linguistic choices in song lyrics. Grounded in H. P. Grice’s theory of conversational implicature and the Cooperative Principle, this qualitative research analyzes eight selected songs from OK Computer: “Airbag,” “Paranoid Android,” “Subterranean Homesick Alien,” “Let Down,” “Karma Police,” “No Surprises,” “Climbing Up the Walls,” and “Lucky.” The analysis focuses on the observance and flouting of Grice’s maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner to uncover implicit meanings embedded in the lyrics. The findings reveal a total of 85 implicatures, consisting of 83 conversational implicatures and 2 conventional implicatures, indicating that conversational implicature is the dominant strategy employed throughout the album. Songs such as “Climbing Up the Walls,” “Airbag,” and “Let Down” show a high frequency of implicature, reflecting themes of fear, alienation, technological anxiety, and emotional vulnerability. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that implicature functions as a central pragmatic device in OK Computer, enabling Radiohead to communicate complex emotional and social meanings while maintaining poetic subtlety and interpretive openness.
