Abstract

Feminism was developed to defend women's rights and roles in society. It is a result of the evolution of culture and social structure, which increasingly differentiate the roles of women and men. The differences between women and men give rise to discrimination, leading to harassment. It is because gender equality still becomes an important problem in the modern era. Related to this, a song is an effective medium for conveying a message. It is because the message will be communicated through the song's story. Many celebrities raise the issue of feminism in their work, one of which is the famous singer Taylor Swift. This study aims to learn about the role of women and social meaning in Taylor Swift's song lyric The Man. For instance, the perception of women in society, their position among men, and the daily discrimination they confront. The data in this study was derived from the lyrics of Taylor Swift's song The Man. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the data in this study. The lyrics of The Man's songs are analyzed utilizing feminist literary criticism theory as the guidelines. The findings show that this song contains many elements of feminism. It is because Taylor Swift, throughout this song, wants to express her concerns about discrimination and gender equality.

Abstract

Face-threatening Acts or FTAs are an interesting phenomenon within the linguistic branch of Pragmatics to study and investigate. It involves not only acts that threaten interlocutors but also strategies for doing these acts. Subsequently, this study focused on the FTAs phenomenon, specifically occurred in the movie, Darkest Hour, a movie revolving around Winston Churchill’s reign as the UK’s Prime Minister. This study aimed to find out FTAs performed by the characters and how the characters attempt to either reduce it or not. Consequently, the data were obtained from the movie, Darkest Hour. This study used Qualitative and Descriptive methods to analyze the FTAs phenomenon in line with Brown and Levinson’s (1987) initiated theory. This study would attempt to identify what FTAs occur in the movie and determine what strategy is being used at the same time. Ultimately, this study found cases of FTA towards the hearer’s positive face (i.e., complaints, criticism, reprimands, non-cooperation, insult, expression of violent emotion, raising dangerously emotional topics, accusation, disapproval, disagreement, irreverence.) more frequent than the negative counterpart (i.e., order, suggestion, advice, warning, request, threat, anger, and reminder). In addition, the characters tend to perform those FTAs directly and without minimization. Based on those findings, the FTA phenomenon in this movie might occurred due to the character’s persistence in holding and imposing their virtues on others.

Abstract

Psychoanalytic criticism employs Freud's and following theorists' "reading" techniques to interpret texts. It is argued that literary texts, like dreams, reveal the author's unconscious desires and worries; a literary work is an expression of the author's neuroses. It is possible to psychoanalyze a specific literary character, however it is generally accepted that all such characters are reflections of the author's personality. A remarkable characteristic of this method is that it affirms the significance of literature by utilizing a literary key for decoding. Freud himself penned, "The dream-thoughts that we first encounter in the course of our analysis often blow us by the unusual form in which they are expressed; they are not clothed in the prosaic language typically employed by our thoughts, but are instead represented symbolically through similes and metaphors, in images resembling poetic speech". This analytical attempt, like psychoanalysis itself, seeks evidence of unresolved emotions, psychological conflicts, guilts, ambivalences, etc. within a potentially disjointed literary work. The author's personal childhood traumas, family life, sexual difficulties, and fixations will be reflected in the conduct of the literary work's characters. Yet psychological material will be expressed indirectly, disguised, or encoded (as in dreams) via concepts such as "symbolism" (the repressed object represented in disguise), "condensation" (many thoughts or individuals depicted in a single image), and "displacement" (anxiety located onto another image by means of association). Many artists expressed their thoughts, anxiety, and buried dreams through song lyrics. One of which is Billy Joel with his song Vienna. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the data in this study. The lyrics of Vienna’s song are analyzed utilizing psychoanalytic literary criticism theory as the guidelines. The findings show that this song contains many elements of psychoanalytic through the metaphors that Billy Joel used in the lyrics.

Abstract

Sastra merupakan salah satu unsur yang memiliki karya seni dan imajinasi yang tinggi. Novel merupakan sebuah narasi fiksi yang biasanya mengeksplorasi karakter, alur, tema, dan latar dalam format yang lebih panjang daripada cerita pendek. Novel dapat bervariasi dalam hal panjang dan genre, mencakup berbagai macam gaya dan subjek. Di sini peneliti memilih untuk menganalisis Tokoh Utama dalam novel “I Am Legend”. Data penelitian ini diambil dari novel berjudul I Am Legend. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode observasi dengan membaca, dan mencatat. Kemudian dikategorikan berdasarkan teori yang ada. Data yang telah dikumpulkan dan diklasifikasikan kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dan deskriptif berdasarkan teori sastra yang dikemukakan oleh Lajos Egri (1987) dan Kenney (1966). Analisis berlanjut pada bagian kedua mengenai pengembangan karakter menurut Kenny. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pengarang secara menyeluruh menggunakan metode menurut teori ini, seperti metode destruktif, metode dramatis, metode karakter pada karakter, metode kontekstual, dan metode pencampuran. Namun, penggunaan metode yang paling terbatas adalah karakter pada karakter karena pengarang tidak banyak menyebutkan karakter yang terlibat langsung dengan Robert. Oleh karena itu, Robert digambarkan sebagai tokoh yang hidup dan bertahan hidup sendirian di rumahnya.

Abstract

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a part of applied science, a combination of Linguistics and Psychological Sciences which has been frequently used in various domains since 1970. Its effectiveness in responding to various situations can be seen in the scope of companies, businesses, campuses, education, marketing, health, personal life, and even the improvement of spiritual life. NLP is a powerful and useful methodology that helps us communicate effectively and get the desired results. In this research, NLP technique observations were carried out on the multiculturalism activities of Pandita/Hindu Religious Leaders in Bali. Hindu priests in Bali give religious lectures, cultural seminars, and religious and cultural rituals not only in Balinese and Indonesian but also in English. Multiculturalism activities are also carried out by various ethnic groups, religions, and citizens of the world. There are three NLP patterns used by Hindu Pandita in Bali in their multiculturalism activities: Deletion, Generalization, and Distortion. Frequently, the Deletion and Distortion techniques are most widely used. These techniques can provide benefits such as communication becoming more effective and flexible, the speaker becoming more charismatic, and listeners being curious about what kind of thoughts/views they have and having further curiosity.

Abstract

This study examines expressive speech acts in the comments section of One Direction’s YouTube video titled “10 Years of One Direction.” It aims to identify the types of expressive acts used, explore their communicative purposes, and determine which type is most frequently employed. The research uses Searle and Vanderveken’s (1985) classification—which includes acts such as thanking, apologizing, congratulating, praising, sorrowing, boasting, blaming, and greeting—and Leech’s (2014) categorization of speech act functions (competitive, convivial, collaborative, and conflictive). Using a descriptive qualitative approach supported by basic quantitative analysis, the study analyzes 70 selected comments from the video. Results show eight types of expressive speech acts: thanking, congratulating, praising, sorrowing, blaming, happiness, boasting, and regretting. These acts mostly serve convivial, collaborative, and conflictive functions. Notably, sorrowing was the most frequent, appearing in 28.57% of the comments, indicating a strong nostalgic and emotional response among fans. The findings highlight how digital fan communities use expressive language to share emotions and build collective memories.

Abstract

This study is conducted to examine the three-dimensional aspects and characterization methods in The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. The primary focus is placed on identifying how the main character, Gogol, is portrayed through these dimensions and what methods of characterization are applied to reflect his development. A qualitative descriptive method is used in this research, applying Lajos’s theory of three-dimensional aspects along with Burroway’s concepts of direct and indirect characterization to analyze the narrative data from the novel. Through the analysis, it is revealed that Gogol is portrayed as a character who undergoes a significant transformation throughout the story. In the early stage, he is shown as a 14-year-old who struggles with his identity and feels detached from himself. As the narrative progresses, a rebellious attitude is displayed by Gogol as he distances himself from his Bengali background. In the final stage of his life, after experiencing personal loss and emotional challenges, he undergoes a more profound reflection, leading to a greater appreciation for his cultural heritage. This transformation is portrayed through the use of both direct and indirect characterization methods, by which the emotional and cultural journey of an immigrant character is effectively conveyed.

Abstract

This study explores how love metaphors are expressed in three selected songs: Guilty as Sin, The Alchemy, and But Daddy I Love Him, from Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department album. Language plays a crucial role in conveying abstract emotions like love, and metaphor is a powerful tool for articulating complex feelings in song lyrics. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research analyzes the lyrics through Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory, categorizing metaphors into structural, ontological, and orientational types. Data were collected by closely reading the lyrics and noting metaphorical expressions, which were then interpreted within their emotional and thematic contexts. The findings reveal that ontological and structural metaphors dominate, portraying love as poetic storytelling and an evolving emotional journey, while no orientational metaphors were identified. This study highlights how Taylor Swift employs metaphorical language to capture the multifaceted nature of love, heartbreak, and personal transformation, demonstrating the significant role of metaphor in shaping emotional meaning in contemporary popular music.
