Abstract

This study investigates how conversational implicature and the flouting of Grice’s cooperative maxims are embedded in the lyrics of the American rock band Audioslave. Drawing on pragmatic theory, the research aims to identify how implicit meanings are constructed through non-literal expressions in song lyrics. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to twenty-five lyric lines selected from five songs which are Like a Stone, I Am the Highway, Show Me How to Live, Shadow on the Sun, and Be Yourself. The analysis shows that the Maxim of Quality is most frequently flouted, followed by the Maxims of Manner, Quantity, and Relation. These floutings manifest through metaphor, ambiguity, and symbolic imagery that require listeners to interpret meanings inferentially. Interpreting maxim violations in lyrics demonstrates that even non-dialogic texts operate according to pragmatic principles, revealing how musicians strategically use figurative language to communicate emotional, existential, and philosophical themes. By applying Gricean theory to musical discourse, this study expands the scope of pragmatics beyond spoken interaction and demonstrates how song lyrics function as intentional communicative acts that convey layered meaning through implicature. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how listeners derive interpretation from artistic language and highlight the value of pragmatic analysis in music studies.

Abstract

This study examines the application of positive politeness methods in the YouTube comment area of Kendrick Lamar’s "Money Trees" music video, grounded in Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Theory. The study used a qualitative descriptive methodology to investigate the ways in which viewers convey admiration, emotion, and social connection in digital interactions. The data were collected from specific YouTube comments utilizing Sudaryanto’s (2015) observational method and were examined pragmatically. The findings indicate that commenters employ four categories of positive politeness strategies: Exaggerate (Interest, Approval, or Sympathy), Notice and Attend to the Hearer, Presuppose, Assert, or Raise Common Ground, and Intensify Interest to the Hearer. The Exaggerate technique is the most common of these, which means that fans often use over-the-top and passionate language to indicate how much they love the singer and the music. The employment of these tactics shows how language in digital spaces may bring people together, make them feel closer to each other, and make the online community more courteous and helpful. This study verifies that positive politeness is crucial in sustaining peaceful interactions within YouTube-based communication.

Abstract

This study comprehensively investigates the phenomenon of conversational implicature within the popular podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend and examines in depth its crucial role in constructing humour through dynamic and pragmatic interaction between the host and his guests. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research carefully analyse a selection of podcast transcripts featuring natural conversations among Conan O’Brien and various celebrity guests, capturing spontaneous and unscripted moments of humour. The data were systematically collected through purposive sampling, with a specific focus on excerpts that exemplify the violation or deliberate flouting of Grice’s Cooperative Principle and its four conversational maxims Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. The analysis is theoretically grounded in the works of (Grice, 1975), (Yule, 2005), (Brown et al., 1987), (Kotthoff, 1998), and (Mabaquiao, 2018), providing a strong foundation for understanding how implicature and speech acts interact to create humorous meaning within authentic discourse. The findings indicate humour in the podcast primarily emerges from intentional maxim violations that generate irony, exaggeration, absurdity, and incongruity, with implicatures interpreted through shared cultural assumptions and contextual understanding. Furthermore, various speech acts, including teasing, complimenting, joking, and self-deprecating humour, enrich the interaction and strengthen its overall comedic impact. This research ultimately underscores the essential function of conversational implicature in humorous discourse and significantly contributes to the broader study of pragmatics in spontaneous spoken media. The results provide valuable pedagogical insights for English language teaching, especially in developing learners’ pragmatic competence, sociolinguistic awareness, and ability to engage in authentic, natural communication.

Abstract

Expressive acts are a major category within illocutionary speech acts. This research aimed to explore and classify expressive speech acts in YouTube comments reacting to Nightbirde’s audition on America’s Got Talent. The analysis is grounded in the expressive speech act theory proposed by Searle and Vanderveken (2009). This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the data. Data were collected through non-participatory observation and note-taking. From 38 individual comments, 60 data points were identified. The analysis revealed four expressive speech act types: compliment (25 times), thank (13 times), condole (14 times), and lament (8 times). Other types, such as apologize, boast, congratulate, protest, complain, greet, welcome, and deplore, did not appear in the dataset. These results suggest that digital platforms like YouTube foster emotionally expressive discourse, especially in moments of shared mourning. The researcher encourages further exploration of expressive speech acts in varied online contexts, including multimodal forms such as emojis, visuals, and interactional features.

Abstract

This study investigated the morphological characteristics of AI-generated English texts in comparison with human academic writing, focusing on affixation, compounding, lexical patterns, and word-formation processes. It specifically aimed to identify morphological differences between both text types, examine how AI language models construct academic discourse at the word-formation level, and determine whether morphological analysis can effectively distinguish machine-produced from human-written academic texts. Ten academic texts — five ChatGPT-generated outputs and five drawn from student essays and final assignment articles — were purposively selected based on comparable topic, length, and register. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a comparative approach, data were collected through documentation and analyzed using qualitative content analysis framework of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Morphological features were systematically classified into derivational affixes, inflectional affixes, compounds, acronyms, and lexical patterns. The findings revealed notable distinctions between the two text types. AI-generated texts displayed higher frequencies of derivational suffixes (186 instances) and lexical repetition (79 instances), with heavy dependence on standardized suffixes such as -tion, -ment, and -ity to sustain academic formality. Human-written texts, conversely, exhibited greater morphological complexity through multi-affix constructions like misinterpretation and unpredictability, richer compounding patterns including self-regulated learning and cross-cultural communication, and broader lexical diversity achieved through synonym substitution. The study concludes that, while AI-generated writing demonstrates grammatical consistency, human academic discourse remains superior in lexical richness, morphological creativity, and contextual adaptability.

Abstract

This study examines how conversational implicature operates within the YouTube podcast How America Lost Faith in Everything, exploring how implied meanings reflect political distrust and shape audience interpretation. Drawing on Grice’s Cooperative Principle and Levinson’s pragmatic framework, this research analyses selected segments from the podcast to identify implicatures used to express criticism toward institutional authority. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the researcher transcribed episodes and conducted thematic coding to uncover implicit messages embedded in the discourse. The findings reveal that implicature serves as a subtle rhetorical tool for shaping socio-political narratives expressing scepticism, irony, and ideological stance without direct confrontation. This study contributes to understanding how digital political communication constructs meaning through indirectness and how YouTube discourse influences public perception of trust in institutions.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve the academic communication politeness of senior high school students in Batam through training based on Politeness Theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987) and the Cooperative Principle (Grice, 1975). The program was designed to foster polite, empathetic, cooperative, and effective interactions among students, teachers, and peers, thereby promoting a positive interaction culture in the classroom. The identified problems included the frequent use of direct speech, limited awareness of politeness strategies, and insufficient understanding of maintaining interpersonal respect in academic communication. The training was conducted through lectures, group discussions, simulations, and role-play activities focusing on polite academic interactions. Evaluation was carried out using classroom observations and a Likert-scale questionnaire completed by 34 participating students. The findings revealed that the students’ level of academic communication politeness was categorized as very high, with an overall mean score of 4.23 out of 5. The highest scores were found in students’ understanding of the purpose of polite communication (M = 4.47) and their perception that polite communication creates a more comfortable learning environment (M = 4.38). The program contributed to strengthening students’ awareness of respectful communication, appreciation of differing opinions, and the development of a positive and harmonious classroom interaction culture.

Abstract

The study focused on how accurately fourth-semester English Literature students at Putera Batam University used eight types of English inflectional morphemes in their academic writing. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach complemented with simple statistical descriptions, the study reviewed students’ written assignments along with questionnaire data to determine their level of accuracy, the most frequent error patterns, and the factors contributing to incorrect forms. To assess accuracy, the researchers adopted Brown’s (1973) calculation and applied an 80% benchmark to classify whether a morpheme had been sufficiently acquired. The analysis revealed that only three morphemes—the present participle (-ing), the superlative (-est), and the simple past (-ed)—met or exceeded the expected mastery level. In contrast, several others, including the comparative (-er), the past participle (-ed/-en), the possessive (’s), and the third-person singular (-s), fell well below the threshold, suggesting that students had not yet mastered them. Further examination showed that omission was the error type that occurred most frequently, while misformation and addition followed as secondary patterns. The inaccuracies were largely attributed to the influence of Bahasa Indonesia as the learners’ first language and to internal developmental factors such as overgeneralization and partial understanding of grammatical rules. Overall, the findings point to persistent difficulties Indonesian EFL learners encounter when dealing with English inflectional morphology and emphasize the importance of more focused grammar instruction within academic writing courses

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of women in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily through Simone de Beauvoir’s feminist theoretical framework. Employing Beauvoir’s concepts of the Other, myths of woman, and women’s categorization as prostitute, the research examines women's representation reflected in the narrative that frames the story of Faulkner's A Rose for Emily, and unveils the perspective of Faulkner as the male author on women as implied in the story. The data are collected through the primary source involved close reading of Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily". The analysis reveals that the protagonist (Emily) is positioned as the Other within a patriarchal social structure that deprives women's autonomy, confined within cultural myth of women reproduced to maintain male domination and reinforce women subordinate positions. Faulkner, as the male author, reflects his perspectives in between of perpetuation and resistance to the social construction of women. The analysis also uncovers Faulkner’s ambivalent perspective as the male author. In certain narrative elements, he seems to perpetuate patriarchal constructions, while in other aspects, he implicitly challenges these norms through the protagonist's (Emily) acts of resistance against social constraints. Overall, the result demonstrates that Faulkner’s narrative both reflects and critiques the power of gender and its relations within a socio-historical context.
