Abstract

This research addresses the research gap concerning how conversational implicatures shift toward context-dependency as characters transition into adolescence. The study aims to identify the types of conversational implicatures and describe the implied meanings conveyed by characters in the animated film Inside Out 2 (2024). Employing a descriptive qualitative design and document analysis, the research applies Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principle to analyze the film's dialogue. The findings reveal 84 utterances containing conversational implicatures, categorized into 75 Particularized Conversational Implicatures (PCI) and 9 Generalized Conversational Implicatures (GCI). Particularized implicatures were the most dominant, with the Maxim of Quality being the most frequently flouted (56 data). This indicates that adolescent communication in the film is highly sophisticated and context-bound, favoring sarcasm and irony over directness. The study concludes that implied meanings serve critical pragmatic functions, including hiding vulnerability, navigating social hierarchies, and strategic manipulation during the puberty transition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of politeness strategies and contextual factors influencing their selection by the character Tori Vega in the Nickelodeon comedy series, Victorious. Communication is fundemental for social beings, and politeness is crucial for maintaining harmonious social interactions. While many studies focus on politeness strategies, few examine them in the context of American comedy series. Using a qualitative research approach and interpretative content analysis, this study collects data from the dialogue of Tori Vega across the first 10 episodes of Victorious season 1. The theoritical framework is based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory, which includes Positive Politeness, Negative Politeness, Bald On-Record, and Off-Record Strategies. The findings indicate that Tori Vega employs all four strategies in her interactions. For instance, She uses Positive Politeness for compliments (e.g., “Oh my God, You’re fantastic!”), Bald On-Record for direct assertion, and Off-Record for indirect communication and sarcasm to save face or create humor. Contextual factors like social distance, self-esteem maintenance, and the need for clarity influence her strategy selection. The research contributes to pragmatics by exploring politeness in pop culture media.

Abstract

Al-Maliki 2 Sukodono Islamic Boarding School employs a distinctive approach by implementing a bilingual education system using both English and Arabic languages. However, in this regard, there are several obstacles, namely lack of students’ enthusiasm, inconsistency, lack of interest and family support, as well as limited facilities. Therefore, to address these issues, a concept is introduced that every student who wishes to become a member of that community is required to use the same language, either English or Indonesian. Furthermore, the reserach aims to demonstrate various types of motivation that can be employed by educators, institutions, and parents. Al-Maliki 2 Sukodono Islamic Boarding School implements bilingual education, incorporating both English and Arabic for communication. However, throughout this process, several barriers hinder the students, such as a lack of interest in foreign languages and inadequate support from families with no foreign language background. This research explores the process of acquiring English as a second language for students and emphasizes the significance of the environment in second language learning. Data can be collected through speaking or writing tasks, where participants are asked to generate specific language. This aids in understanding the language production process, planning, and decision-making involved in selecting words and sentence structures. The findings of this research are expected to assist schools and non-formal institutions as organizers in identifying motivational approaches that can be applied to students in English language learning. Ultimately, this can lead to improved quantity and quality of students’ English language proficiency, fulfilling Indonesia’s workforce demands.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a dynamic process, especially during the formative years of childhood. This research delves into the depths of psycholinguistics to explore the effectiveness of using cartoons as a dynamic tool in enhancing lexical enrichment in the development of English vocabulary. The study aims to ascertain the influence of cartoons on the development of students' English vocabulary using psycholinguistic theory. This research adopts a qualitative approach. The data for this study pertain to the development of students' English vocabulary, with cartoons serving as the primary source of data. Data were collected through participant observation, with the researcher observing students' language acquisition and lexical mastery in the classroom. Additionally, interviews were conducted with students and English language teachers regarding the enhancement of students' English vocabulary acquisition, employing the recording technique. Once the data were collected, the researcher transcribed the speech data into written form, documenting the vocabulary acquired by students after watching cartoons. Subsequently, the data underwent reduction, classification, and analysis. The results of this study indicate several influences of cartoons on the development of students' language skills, including enhanced understanding of the English language, acquisition of new vocabulary, improved listening skills, introduction to culture and context, enjoyable learning experiences, comprehension of expressions and emotions, and the cultivation of speaking skills. Consequently, cartoons can be considered valuable learning aids, although it is advisable to use them in conjunction with more structured learning methods, such as English courses, textbooks, or tutors, to achieve more optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

"In 'Tarian Bumi,' the narrative vividly portrays Balinese women's defiance against the entrenched patriarchal norms of their society. The protagonist, Ida Ayu Telaga, emerges as a symbol of courage, challenging the oppressive customs that confine women's autonomy and expression. This research endeavors to delve into the diverse manifestations of Balinese women's resistance against patriarchal hegemony, employing a feminist lens. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study mines the rich textual landscape of 'Tarian Bumi' for instances of women's defiance. The methodology involves a meticulous examination of the novel, supplemented by insights from various secondary sources such as books, theses, articles, and news reports on women's struggles against patriarchy. Through a process of data reduction, classification, and validation, the researcher identifies recurring themes of resistance encoded within the text. The findings underscore a spectrum of challenges, encompassing traditional gender roles, marital expectations, familial constraints, religious and social inequalities, and instances of gender-based violence. These acts of resistance are articulated through diverse mediums including written expressions, philosophical reflections, and symbolic dances—a testament to the enduring struggle for justice. By illuminating these narratives of defiance, the research serves as a catalyst for critical reflection, urging readers to interrogate prevailing patriarchal paradigms and advocate for gender equity."
