Abstract

This article examines the phasal realizations characteristic of the classroom discourse. The data are collected by means of audio-visual recordings and transcriptions, and they are analyzed by employing a complementary method of analysis of Young’s model. The primary instrument of this study is the researcher herself, whereas the secondary instruments are (1) classification schemes of the semiotic aspect in focus, (2) data sheets that contain 4 classroom discourse-in-texts, and (3) notes on each classroom discourse-in-text. The findings reveal that the CD-in-text as a whole is typically realized and characterized by the following: (1) Substantiation (SU) as the most prominent macro-function and the Conclusion (CO) as the least prominent, (2) the Interchange (IC) as the most prominent micro-function and the Apology (AP) as the least prominent. Based on the main findings, there is strong evidence to suggest that the ‘semiotic behavior’ of the CD-in-text as a whole is motivated by the goal-oriented need, and the goal to achieve has tended to be more academic-oriented than social-oriented. In this, the teachers as the primary speakers of the classroom interactions have tended to focus on the transformation of intellectual values (academic knowledge/skills) with the least social values involved therein. The most prominently occurring SU macro-function and IC micro-function are clear indicators of this endeavor. The scope and the objectives of this study have been delimited to investigate CD phenomena at the levels of phase and sub-phase.

Abstract

This paper investigates the provocative question: can artificial intelligence (AI) know things? through an epistemological lens. Drawing upon a systematic literature review (SLR) of works published 2010–2020, the study maps how scholars have applied classical and contemporary epistemic criteria—such as belief‑likeness, truth, justification, reliability, interpretability, and epistemic agency—to AI systems. In doing so, it examines competing theoretical frameworks (internalism, externalism, virtue epistemology, Bayesian approaches) and identifies areas of convergence and contention. The review reveals that while many AI systems satisfy externalist criteria of reliability and truth‑tracking under controlled conditions, they often fall short of internalist demands for justificatory transparency or reflective access. Opacity and “black‑box” architectures remain central obstacles to attributing knowledge in the classical sense. Furthermore, the influence of AI on human belief formation and the shift in epistemic environments suggest that even absent true knowledge, AI plays a significant role in mediating knowledge practices. Ethical and normative considerations (e.g. fairness, accountability, epistemic justice) also emerge as inseparable from epistemological assessments, prompting calls for a “glass‑box epistemology” that integrates design, interpretability, and value sensitivity. In concluding, the paper argues that AI may function as a contributor to human knowledge workflows rather than as autonomous knowers. It sets out a nuanced perspective: acknowledging AI’s epistemic potential while remaining critical of overextensions. Finally, it suggests future paths: refining epistemic thresholds, embedding interpretability in AI design, and expanding the discourse across cultural and disciplinary contexts.

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review exploring the experiential meaning of song lyrics, focusing on studies published between 2020 and 2024. Drawing from 21 peer-reviewed articles, the review synthesizes how song lyrics encode and convey lived experience through linguistic and cultural mechanisms. The analysis reveals that Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), particularly transitivity analysis, is the predominant framework used to examine how mental, relational, and material processes construct experiential meaning in lyrics. Additionally, figurative language such as metaphor and personification plays a vital role in symbolizing complex emotions and psychological states. Beyond individual expression, song lyrics are also shown to reflect broader sociocultural narratives related to identity, gender, and power dynamics. These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of experiential meaning, highlighting the interplay between grammatical structures, stylistic devices, and cultural contexts. The review also identifies gaps in the literature, notably the need for more cross-cultural studies and listener reception research. Finally, the paper discusses the pedagogical potential of song lyrics for language learning and suggests future directions integrating multimodal and interdisciplinary approaches. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of how songs serve as powerful vehicles for sharing and interpreting human experience.
