Abstract

Semantics is the study of meaning in language. One of the linguistic features that can be considered in semantics is figurative language. Short stories are oases of figurative language and literary devices that are used in such a way that they portray a far deeper meaning then the words themselves do. Because the story uses figurative language, readers occasionally have trouble understanding its significance and message. In this study, the researchers examine Roald Dahl's short tale "Lamb to the Slaughter" for the use of figurative language in order to utilize semantic analysis to determine the messages conveyed by the author. This study aims to discover the types and the meaning of the figurative language in the short story “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl by identifying the literal and non literal meaning and then finds the shared semantic features, the message of the story can be revealed. To support the analysis process, the researchers used the theory of semantic to discover the meaning of the figurative language in the story. The theory of figurative language is used to identify the types of figurative language in the story. The researchers applied the theory of message to reveal the true meaning or the message of the story.

Abstract

This research conducts a comprehensive analysis about the Allusion on William Blake’s Selected Poems. The researchers choose three famous poems by William Blake such as ‘The Tyger’,’The Lamb’ and ‘A Poison Tree’. The researchers explored several types of allusion such as religious allusion, literary allusion, historical allusion, and mythical allusion. Furthermore, the researchers also explored autobiographical allusions in order to find the implication of allusion in the poems and Blake’s personal experience and philosophy. Using Bezerman’s approach, the researchers concluded several points. First, the researchers found twelve allusions in Blake’s selected poems. Specifically, there are three religious allusions, three mythical allusions, and two literary allusions in the Tyger. Furthermore, the researchers identified two religious allusions in The Lamb. In ‘A Poison Tree’ there are two religious allusions and two mythical allusions. Allusion is a powerful literary device that connects a text to other works, events, or ideas, enriching the reader's understanding through these connections. In the case of William Blake's poetry, allusion plays a critical role in creating layers of meaning, allowing readers to explore deeper interpretations and examine broader themes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research examines the use of presupposition in the dialogue and script of the film The Help (2011) through George Yule's presupposition theory. Presuppositions are background assumptions held by the speaker and play a role in communication to convey information indirectly. George Yule identifies six types of presuppositions: existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual. The Help film is set in 1960s Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement and explores the complex relationship between black maids and their white employers. This research focuses on the dialogues and scripts of three film characters, Aibileen Clark, Minny Jackson, and Eugenia Phelan (Skeeter), to investigate how types of presuppositions are represented in the dialogues and scripts. This research shows how presuppositions contribute to understanding implicit information using a pragmatic approach. Socio-cultural contexts are used to understand the way presuppositions interpret utterances. In this study, all six types of presuppositions: existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual were found in the film's dialogue. Structural presuppositions were the most common type, and non-factive presuppositions were the least found by the researcher. This study shows that presuppositions are essential to convey messages implicitly, enhancing the researcher's understanding of character interactions through the context of the unfolding situation and the characterization of Aibileen as the main character. Keywords: context, film, presupposition, The Help film

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the personality dynamics of Phil Burbank, the main character in the film The Power of the Dog, through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theory on the concept of the tripartite principle of the psyche: id, ego, and superego. The 2021 film The Power of the Dog, written and directed by Jane Campion, and its script were used as the primary data source. This research employed a qualitative method and a psychoanalysis approach to examine how these three components of personality interacted within Phil Burbank. Phil Burbank was portrayed as a dominant masculine figure who harbored deep and complex inner conflicts, based on the categorization of the situation, identified in Phil’s aggressive behaviour and his need to dominate those around him, reflecting unsublimated unconscious drives. The ego was observed in his attempts to conform to social norms and preserve his masculine image despite internal conflict with his desires. The superego was manifested through moral judgments and efforts to uphold internalized morality, shaping his attitudes and worldview. The results indicated that the id was the most dominant structure with eight data, followed by ego with four data, and superego with two data. Concluded from this research was the idea that Phil’s inability to reconcile his desires (id), his social façade (ego), and his moral conscience (superego) led to his self-destruction. This psychological imbalance was reflected in emotional instability, toxic relationships, and ultimately, his death.

Abstract

The primary objective of this community service program is to cultivate English writing skill among high school students and those living in the tourist village of Masdarling in Bontang, East Kalimantan. By connecting culture with writing experiences, the intention is to reinforce cultural identity and uphold the values of local wisdom and indigenous culture among the younger generation, particularly in light of the challenges posed by the dominance of global culture. The implementation of this community service project involves a series of stages, which include identifying the problem, planning the activity, implementing the activity, conducting evaluation and monitoring, and reporting on the activity. The culture-oriented writing outputs produced by high school students in East Kalimantan exhibit various challenges, such as a limited range of ideas, the use of complex vocabulary and grammar, and ineffective sentence construction. The findings from the community service initiatives demonstrate an increasing awareness of the significance of training for skill development. This English writing training is projected to function as a platform for local communities to enhance their ability to showcase local traditions and culture to a worldwide audience, ultimately drawing the interest of international tourists.
