Abstract

This study examines the features and functions of women's language used by female characters in the film Elemental. The research is based on Lakoff’s (2004) framework on women's language features and Pearson’s (1985) theory on language functions. Using documentation and note-taking methods, the research analyzes the frequency of women’s language features in the characters’ speech. The analysis identified eight features of women’s language: lexical hedges or fillers, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super-polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, rising intonation, and emphatic stress, with lexical hedges or fillers appearing most frequently. Four language functions were also found. The lexical hedges helped initiate discussions and express feelings, while intensifiers, emphatic stress, and empty adjectives conveyed emotions. Hypercorrect grammar, super polite forms, and avoiding strong swear words functioned to soften speech. These findings indicate that women’s language in Elemental is predominantly used for emotional expression and interaction politeness, suggesting that the film constructs its female characters through linguistic patterns traditionally associated with feminity. This representation reflects how media discourse can reproduce conventional gendered communication norms, positioning women as emotionally expressive and socially attentive speakers, and thus contributes to broader discussion about how popular media shapes and reinforces gender representation through language.

Abstract

Studies on ecolinguistics mostly delve into how the media portrays environmental issues in tourism sector, but few to none have examined the way social media promotes sustainable traveling. This study aims to examine Kembali Becik’s traveling tips on Instagram. Designed with descriptive qualitative method, the data were obtained from Kembali Becik’s Instagram account (instagram.com/kembali.becik) in the form of captions and images. Furthermore, data were taken from the posts in six-month period (September 2022-March 2023). Data were analyzed using ecolinguistic theory of salience and visual image analysis. The results showcase certain language patterns in Kembali Becik’s traveling tips, which include constant use of eco-lexicons such as adjectives and nouns. Moreover, the images also strengthen the positive message regarding sustainable practices that can be done while traveling in Bali. Further research needs to be conducted in order to evaluate the portrayal of sustainable traveling in various media.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection of gender representation and ecological values through a critical ecolinguistic analysis of the hashtag #ibukudietplastik featured on the Instagram account @griyaluhu. Grounded in Stibbe’s (2015) “stories we live by” framework, the research uses a descriptive qualitative method and employs critical discourse analysis to examine how language constructs ecological narratives and gendered roles in digital media. Primary data consists of captions and photographs from Instagram posts using the hashtag. The findings indicate that women particularly mothers are framed as key moral agents in environmental action, with their domestic behaviors valorized through positive evaluation. While these narratives promote ecological awareness and foster collective engagement, they may also reinforce traditional gender expectations by positioning sustainability as primarily a woman’s responsibility within the household. The study contributes to understanding how digital storytelling in environmental campaigns both empowers women and perpetuates patriarchal norms. This research offers insights into the dual function of Ecolinguistic narratives in shaping societal views on gender and sustainability.

Abstract

Adjacency pairs play a crucial role in organizing speech, guiding responses, and ensuring a smooth flow of communication in conversation. Misunderstandings and disruptions in adjacency pairs, such as unexpected responses or preference violations, often occur, affecting the coherence and effectiveness of interactions. The adjacency pair patterns applied in conversation are heavily dependent on the context of conversation, such as popular media, classroom studies, and others. Deploying Schegloff’s conversation analysis, this study investigates adjacency pairs in the animated film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The data are in the form of dialogues and were collected from transcribed dialogues found in the film. The results of the analysis reveal that six types of adjacency pairs are found: greeting-greeting, offer-acceptance/rejection, request-compliance/refusal, invitation-acceptance/declination, question-answer, and assessment-agreement/disagreement. Due to the type of response the characters have, the characters act as two types of responses, and those are preferred and dispreferred responses. This result implies that the characters of animated film act naturally. This study provides insights into how adjacency pairs function within fictional discourse and enhances the understanding of conversational structures in animated films.
