Abstract

This study is entitled The Women’s Languages Used by Taylor Swift in Miss Americana Documentary Film. The study of sociolinguistics found that there are differences in how men and women speak. Holmes (2013) stated that women tend to speak in a more standard form of English. Based on the differences found in the way women and men speak, this study aimed to find the types of women’s language features and function in Taylor Swift’s utterances. Women’s language features proposed by Lakoff (1975) and women’s language function proposed by Pearson (1985) were applied in this study. The data of this study was taken from Miss Americana documentary film. The data source was taken from Taylor Swift’s utterances in the form of transcript of the film that was taken from the website. Qualitative method, particularly descriptive was used in this study. Based on 140 utterances, seven of them were analyzed. It was found that seven out of ten women’s language features were used by Taylor Swift. They were lexical hedges or fillers, rising intonation on declaratives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic stress. Out of all features found, lexical hedges or fillers were the most frequently features used by Taylor Swift. Rising intonation on declaratives were the least ones used by Taylor Swift in the documentary Miss Americana. Four out of five function was found in her utterances. Lexical hedges were aimed to start a discussion. They were to get response, to express feeling to soften an utterance. Meanwhile, the women language’s feature fillers are function only as breath gap filler. Keywords: Women’s languages feature, Women’s languages function, Documentary film

Abstract

Metaphors play an important function in literature since they serve to convey complicated psychological and emotional experiences in a more accessible and imaginative manner. This article investigates the use of metaphor in Virginia Woolf's psychological book Mrs. Dalloway (1925), identifying several metaphor types and revealing their underlying meaning. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method and Ritchie's (2013) framework to categorize and understand metaphors in the novel. The findings suggest that metaphorical terms are useful in depicting the characters' interior sensations. The analysis reveals how metaphor enhances the emotional resonance and psychological realism of the tale through a close reading of selected excerpts.

Abstract

Negative and sarcastic sentiments dominate online discourse. It reflects the dynamic nature of digital communication and its socio-linguistic implications. This study investigates the prevalence and types of comments with focusing on explicit negative opinions and sarcastic and explicit opinions. Those emerge as the most frequent forms in sentiment discourse. Drawing upon insights from sentiment analysis frameworks by Liu (2015) and Ponzi et al. (2017), this research categorized user comments and analyzed their frequencies and implications within the context of social media interactions. The research employs qualitative analysis to classify and interpret comments. It also combines theoretical insights with real user-generated content. Comments were grouped into categories, including fact-implied opinions, explicit negative opinions, sarcastic opinions, and implicit opinions. It reveals significant trends in the expression of dissatisfaction and humor-laden critiques online. The findings suggest that digital platforms serve as spaces for users to openly voice grievances. It is often through direct negativity or sarcasm. In particular, sarcasm functions as a creative linguistic tool for indirect critique and identity construction. While it also reflects broader societal concerns such as socioeconomic inequality. These trends highlight the polarized and emotionally charged nature of online discourse, where negativity is amplified through rapid interactions and shared cultural references. Implications of this study underline the importance of nuanced sentiment analysis models that account for the complexities of tone, sarcasm, and indirect communication. Additionally, fostering constructive digital environments requires strategies to mitigate negativity. While it is promoting balanced engagement and contributing to a deeper understanding of evolving digital communication practices and societal dynamics.
