Abstract

This article aims to identify the types of language styles utilized by the characters as well as to analyze the factors that influence its utilization in the movie Oppenheimer through the application of Joos’ (1967) types of language styles theory and Holmes’ (2013) social factors and dimensions theory. This article employed a qualitative method to analyze both the types of language styles and the factors that influence the characters to utilize different types of language styles in the movie Oppenheimer. In collecting the data, this article employed a documentation method and a note-taking technique. In analyzing the data, this article employed a descriptive qualitative method to ensure a detailed and thorough analysis of the data. In presenting the analysis, a descriptive qualitative method was employed to present the data thoroughly by using words and sentences. Based on the findings, the characters in the movie Oppenheimer utilized all types of language styles, which include frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casual style, and intimate style. Moreover, there are four main components that influence the characters to utilize different types of language styles, namely, participants, setting, topic, and function.

Abstract

From a feminist standpoint, this article examined Louisa May Alcott's Little Women with a perspective on issues such as the complexity of womanhood, existential independence, personal choice, and the continuous fight against objectification. This study, using a qualitative method, examined how the characters, especially the March sisters, negotiate the gender roles imposed upon them in 19th-century society. Every sister has a different reaction to the cultural standards of femininity, and their experiences expose the restrictions placed by social roles. Jo's defiance of conventional wisdom, particularly her refusal to marry for convenience and her will to be a writer, questions the belief that a woman's fate rests just in marriage and housekeeping. Marmee also stresses over simple social compliance the value of financial independence and personal conviction. These character paths highlight how women try to establish autonomy inside limited systems and reflect more philosophical questions about freedom, choice, and identity. Little Women challenges the cultural narratives that try to define and restrict women in other ways than telling a coming-of-age story through its subtle representations. This study highlights the continuing importance of the work and shows how literature can be an important lens through which feminist issues, especially the complexity of gendered experience may be explored and understood.

Abstract

This study aims to explore expressive illocutionary acts in the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, focusing on the types and functions that appear in the interactions between the characters. Expressive illocutionary acts, as part of pragmatic studies, play an important role in representing emotions, attitudes, and social relationships between speakers. This study was conducted to identify in detail twelve types of expressive illocutionary acts and their four accompanying functions, thereby providing a deeper understanding of the dynamics of communication in the film. This study uses a qualitative approach with documentation and observation methods of the film's dialogue. Data analysis was carried out through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, to obtain a systematic picture of the pattern of expressive illocutionary acts. The results show that all twelve types of expressive illocutionary acts are found in the film, with the expression "thank you" as the most dominant form. This reflects the film's main theme, which emphasizes the value of friendship, emotional support, and gratitude between characters. In contrast, the expression "regret" is the least used type.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of lexical hedges by male and female characters in the animated film “Tinker Bell” (2008), focusing on differences in variation and communicative functions based on gender. The analysis employs Lakoff’s theory of women’s language and Holmes' framework of language functions. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with data collected through documentation and audio-visual observation from the film’s transcript. The results also indicate that although both genders employ lexical hedges, female characters tend to demonstrate a broader range of forms and functions. The findings highlight how hedges not only reflect gendered communication styles but also contribute to character development and narrative flow within the film. This study contributes to understanding gendered communication patterns in animated media and how they reflect broader sociolinguistic dynamics.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of information loss in the Indonesian-English translation of cultural terms in the Netflix series Gadis Kretek (Cigarette Girl), focusing on how key cultural nuances are reduced or omitted in the translation process. The study highlights the challenges faced when rendering culturally embedded into English, raising concerns about accuracy and cultural authenticity. This study used comprehensive semantic-componential analysis, guided by Larson’s Componential Analysis (1998) and Nida and Taber’s theory of Loss and Gain of Information (1982), applied specifically to Indonesian cultural contexts in audiovisual translation. Utilising qualitative methodologies, such as documentation, observation, and linguistic comparison, the study uncovers significant semantic reductions, including the omission of cultural values, historical context, and social connotations. The causes of these losses are considered to be primarily attributed to a lack of specificity in English, cultural and social gaps, and structural differences between the languages. In conclusion, the study emphasises the necessity for culturally sensitive translation strategies, with the core finding being that linguistic equivalence alone is insufficient to preserve cultural depth in cross-cultural translations.

Abstract

This study revolves around the study of discourse, specifically concerning the role of grammatical cohesive devices in spoken discourse namely speech. This study applied Halliday and Hasan’s theory of cohesion (1976). This study aims at identifying the types of grammatical cohesive devices used and analyzing the functions of each grammatical cohesive devices in the speech. The data of this study was taken from the Taylor Swift’s NYU 2022 commencement speech. The method applies in this study is descriptive quantitative method. In collecting the data, documentation method and note-taking technique were used. The grammatical cohesive devices based on Halliday and Hasan (1976) theory consist of reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction. The method for presenting the data analysis in this study used informal method by using descriptive qualitative method and content analysis technique. The finding shows that almost all types of grammatical cohesive devices are found in Taylor Swift’s NYU 2022 commencement speech. The types are reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction. Based on the analysis, the most dominant type appeared in the speech is reference and the less frequently appeared is substitution. The result also shows how each type of grammatical cohesive devices functions in the speech. The functions of grammatical cohesive devices are important to create cohesion, clarity, and to make the listener understand the implied meaning made by the speaker.

Abstract

Outdoor public signs found in Bali contain ideologies and messages that can be mistakenly understood, potentially triggering conflicts.  This study aims to identify and analyze the underlying ideology and the language functions in outdoor public signs found in Bali from the perspective of critical pragmatics and linguistic landscape. The data of this study were outdoor public signs that contain power relation from government and private stakeholders. The data were collected through observation and photography. The data were analyzed through referential and pragmatic identity methods with descriptive-qualitative approach. The theories applied were Halliday's context of situation, Yule's speech act, Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, and Saussure's signifier and signified. The results show that outdoor public signs in Bali have underlying ideologies, such as ethnocentrism, xenocentrism, and ecologism. The language functions are directive, commisive, and expressive.  The ideologies represented by the language used can potentially cause conflicts as they may be sensitive to certain ethnic groups.  The findings highlight the significance of critically examining public signage to understand its influence in shaping social dynamics and potential for unintended consequences.

Abstract

This study examines Japanese advertising and product-information texts on Shiseido Japan’s official website (www.brand.shiseido.co.jp) that grammatically prevent readers from construing statements as universal claims (“always” or “true for everyone”). It addresses two problems: how universal readings are blocked through grammatical construction in this register, and how the main blocking mechanisms differ in limiting generalisation and managing scope. The data consist of sentence-level usage, precautionary, and quality-related statements that plausibly invite broad general interpretations. Seven analytically representative tokens are used as illustrative evidence, covering wake-negation, baai-based case framing, and event/occasion packaging with V-ru koto ga aru, including rare-event calibration with mare ni and layered conditional framing. The study employs qualitative, theory-driven grammatical analysis focusing on clause structure, embedding, nominalisation, connective relations, and the compositional contribution of key markers. The results identify recurring templates with distinct structural signatures. Wake-negation blocks over-strong uptake by denying a candidate inference (…to iu wake de wa arimasen). Case framing with baai shifts categorical commitments into situation-restricted possibility (…baai ga arimasu), including complex variants that add causal linkage, avoidance marking, and directive closure. Event/occasion packaging with koto plus existential predication (…koto ga arimasu) presents anomalies as contingent occurrences, and it can be triggered by causal conditions (e.g., temperature change) or conditional frames (…to). Rare-event marking with mare ni further calibrates frequency and often co-occurs with contrastive reassurance about quality. Overall, universal-blocking emerges as a set of non-redundant grammatical routes that constrain inference, situational domain, and event profiling in a compact public informational genre.

Abstract

Loloan Malay is an endangered indigenous language which is also the identity of a minority Muslim community in Jembrana, West Bali. In the midst of the strong Hindu influence in Bali, the Loloan people try to maintain their different linguistic and cultural heritage through oral traditions such as Burdah and Ngelenggang—ritual performances presenting religious verse recitations accompanied by percussion performed during a seven-month pregnancy. This study aimed to explore how Loloan Malay language as their identity is maintained through Burdah and Ngelenggang rituals. Data were collected through interviews and observations, focusing on community leaders, ritual performers, and youths. The findings revealed that conducting the rituals maintains the language through the cultural materials and communication. Furthermore, the research also unpacks the language of having inconsistency in orthography, which affects not only the written communication but also the education. This study implies that sustainable religious practices can be markers of how well languages are maintained.
