Abstract

Desiree Baby is one of the American literature short stories written by Kate Chopin set in Louisiana during the late 19th century. The story explores themes of race, identity, and societal prejudice in the late 19th century. The story examines the destructive power of the complexities of racial identity in a social context through its engaging characters and storyline. This study aims to analyze the intrinsic elements especially the structure of the plot in a short story entitled “Desiree Baby” by Kate Chopin. The data was taken from the textual short story that contains the intrinsic elements. The data was collected by descriptive method with the form of research that is qualitative. Also, the data was obtained by reading, observing, collecting, and identifying the material that related to the theory. The data were analyzed using the theory contained in the book Mastering English Literature by Richard Gill (1995). The results showed that the short story "Desiree Baby" by Kate Chopin contains five crucial elements of the plot as stated by Gill (1995). The five elements of the plot consist of the situation, trajectory, proleptic events, and reversal & discovery.

Abstract

Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that examines how meaning is shaped through language use within specific contexts involving speakers and listeners. Central to this field is speech act theory, which explains how utterances perform actions and create social meaning. This study analyzes the types and functions of illocutionary acts used in an interview between Jimmy Fallon and former U.S. President Barack Obama, illustrating how pragmatic strategies operate in media interaction. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the analysis is based on Searle’s (1976) classification of illocutionary acts. Data were gathered through documentation and note-taking. The findings reveal three dominant illocutionary acts: representatives, directives, and expressives. Representatives convey beliefs or statements of fact, directives seek to influence the listener through questions or suggestions, and expressives communicate emotions or evaluations. Overall, the study shows how these illocutionary acts contribute to communicative intent, reflect interpersonal dynamics, and highlight the interactional styles of both interviewer and interviewee.

Abstract

Language plays a fundamental role in literature, particularly poetry, in shaping and directing the reader’s interpretation of the hidden meaning portrayed by the poet. In regard to this phenomenon, this study examines the construction of gender duality in selected poems written by Tempest in the anthology entitled Hold Your Own through a qualitative content analysis method utilizing retroactive reading and a purposive sampling technique. By juxtaposing the denotative and connotative meaning through the lens of linguistics and literary analysis, this research is theoretically grounded in Riffaterre’s Semiotics and Butler’s Gender Performativity theory. The data consist of thematically and strategically selected lines that reveal nuances of linguistics and literary patterns in representing gender identity. Findings demonstrate that feminime identities are predominantly articulated through lexemes or phrases corelated to softness, passivity, and negative light such as “watching them”, “school bench”, “be kind”, and “witch” meanwhile men are characterized by more assertive, dynamic, and power figure words such as “playing”, “football”, “kick”, “BMW”, and “above her”. The duality of gender is further illustrated through recurrent grammatical deviations such as “how many of yous”, “boy in her”, and “herself top boy” as well as frequent deployment of figurative devices such as simile, paradox, symbolism, hyperbole, and metaphor, one of which is “her shoulder is square”. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the ways linguistics and narrative strategies in Hold Your Own perform a fluid and complex gender identity, thereby engaging the myth of Tiresias and the contemporary discourse of gender.

Abstract

This study examines the personality of the character P.T. Barnum in the film The Greatest Showman using the Five-Factor Personality theory. This film, as a modern literary work, presents a charismatic, ambitious, and complex main character, making it interesting to analyse in a more psychologically deep way. The purpose of this study is to identify Barnum's dominant personality and understand how this personality affects his social life, especially in marriage and career. The method used is descriptive qualitative by analysing important scenes in the film, including dialogue, expressions, and character interactions. The results of the study indicate that Extraversion and Openness to Experience are the two most prominent personality dimensions in Barnum. These two traits support his success in attracting public attention and building an entertainment business, but also cause tension in his relationships. These findings indicate that personality not only influences the actions of the character but also shapes the direction of his life and interactions with the surrounding environment. This study is expected to enrich the study of literary psychology, especially in understanding the dynamics of characters in films as a form of contemporary literature.

Abstract

AntConc is an open-source corpus linguistic tool featuring basic corpus linguistic analytical techniques. A powerful element of AntConc is its various pattern-searching methods. This paper describes the flavours of AntConc’s searching methods and illustrates them for the query of phonological, morphological, and syntactic phenomena. The more advanced searching method, namely Regular Expressions (RegEx), is also discussed. The paper illustrates the use of RegEx for querying a rather complex morphological phenomenon in Indonesian, namely reduplication. RegEx search output is compared with the output from the basic Wildcard search feature to accentuate the sophistication and flexibility of RegEx for more targeted and specific results. The paper, overall, underscores the importance of mastering the different methods of querying texts with different complexities in AntConc for investigating a wider range of data-intensive, linguistic inquiries.
