Abstract

This research examines conceptual metaphors as defined by Lakoff and Johnson, focusing on three types: structural, ontological, and orientational. The study analyzes an editorial from Goal.com titled, "Arsenal have no margin for error! Gunners told Liverpool showdown is 'must-win' in title race just eight games into 2024-25 season," using a qualitative approach grounded in cognitive semantic theory to explore the nuanced meanings conveyed through metaphor in sports commentary. Known for its in-depth and timely football analysis, Goal.com offers insights into how metaphors enhance fans' understanding of competitive sports narratives. Data collection involved close reading and note-taking, identifying instances of structural, ontological, and orientational metaphors, along with their source and target domains and image schemas. Findings reveal five structural metaphors, which use schemas such as Scale and Force to emphasize competitive intensity; four ontological metaphors, drawing on Container, Force, and Existence schemas to illustrate team pressures; and one orientational metaphor, using the Container schema to deepen spatial and relational context in the text. This study highlights the role of sports media metaphors in shaping public perception, making abstract concepts like competition and resilience more tangible. By framing sports challenges in relatable, high-stakes terms, these metaphors foster emotional engagement among fans, creating a shared understanding of a team's journey and pressures and underscoring the powerful influence of metaphor in sports narratives.

Abstract

This study examines the portrayal and development of Jordan Belfort’s character in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), focusing on how the film constructs him as a literary figure shaped by ambition, greed, and complex moral tension. The research analyzes the narrative techniques used to depict Belfort’s transformation, beginning with his initial aspirations as a young stockbroker, followed by his rapid rise to power, and culminating in his moral downfall. Key scenes are explored to highlight moments that reveal shifts in his values, behavior, and psychological state, illustrating the progression from ambition-driven success to ethically corrupt excess. The study further investigates the internal and external conflicts that define Belfort’s character arc. Internally, Belfort struggles with impulses related to addiction, desire for dominance, and a deteriorating moral compass. Externally, he faces pressures from corporate culture, peer influence, and the legal system, all of which shape his decisions and accelerate his descent. These conflicts work together to reinforce the film’s central themes, including the seduction of wealth, the fragility of moral integrity, and the consequences of unrestrained ambition. The findings reveal that Belfort’s psychological turmoil and interactions with his environment serve as a narrative device through which the film critiques the culture of greed and ethical corruption within the financial world. Through its characterization and storyline, the film offers a powerful commentary on how unchecked ambition can lead to self-destruction, harming both the individual and those around him.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a major challenge in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), but research exploring students' perceptions of vocabulary learning through collaborative discussion is still limited. This study explores the perceptions of students at SMP Harapan Cibiutng regarding vocabulary learning through short stories using a collaborative discussion approach. Using a descriptive qualitative method, three participants from grade IX (high, medium, and low levels) were interviewed and observed. The results of the study show four main findings: 1) Students applied gradual scaffolding at three levels of ZPD (individual-peer-teacher); 2) Collaborative discussion resulted in psychological transformations including cognitive changes (from not understanding to understanding), affective changes (from doubt to confidence), and social changes (from individual to group); 3) Functional vocabulary was used to understand the story content and communicate; 4) Learning took place through the construction of shared knowledge, which included horizontal scaffolding, dialogic learning, and affective solidarity. These findings indicate that vocabulary learning through short stories with collaborative discussion is a comprehensive process involving gradual stages, social cooperation, and the use of functional vocabulary. This study provides practical implications for teachers in applying a gradual scaffolding model and creating a learning environment that supports students' psychological transformation.

Abstract

This research focuses on “A Character-Centered Analysis of Anna’s Personal Development in the film My Oxford Year.” The purpose of the study is to examine how Anna, as the main character, is portrayed and how her personal development unfolds throughout the film. The data were obtained from the depiction of Anna in various scenes, including her dialogue, actions, emotional expressions, and interactions with other characters. To analyze these elements, the study employs Murphy’s (1972) theory of characterization, which provides a framework for understanding how a character is shaped within the narrative. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the researcher observed the film repeatedly and took detailed notes to identify patterns related to Anna’s growth. The findings indicate that Anna’s development appears through several dimensions of her characterization, including her changing decisions, emotional responses, and evolving perspectives as she navigates new experiences at Oxford. The analysis reveals that Anna undergoes growth in three major areas. First, emotional development, shown through her increasing maturity in managing conflicts and personal challenges. Second, relationship development, reflected in her ability to form meaningful connections and reassess her priorities. Third, identity formation, as she begins to understand her values, ambitions, and sense of purpose more clearly. Overall, the study concludes that Anna’s journey in My Oxford Year represents a gradual and realistic process of personal transformation. Her growth is shaped by the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities she encounters, illustrating a nuanced portrayal of character development within the film.

Abstract

Literary works serve as a medium for expressing human thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and films are one of the most dynamic forms of such expression. The film Elio (2025) portrays the psychological and emotional journey of its main character, Elio, whose development reflects the process of achieving self-actualization. This study aims to analyze Elio’s character development as a round character through E.M. Forster’s theory of characterization and to explore his psychological transformation using Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Employing a psycho-literary approach, this research integrates literary and psychological perspectives to examine how Elio’s evolving behavior and mindset represent the fulfillment of human needs, from safety and belongingness to self-awareness and actualization. The findings reveal that Elio’s transformation embodies the characteristics of a round character and aligns with the progressive stages of Maslow’s hierarchy. The study concludes that Elio illustrates how film narratives can serve as a reflection of human psychological growth and the pursuit of self-discovery.

Abstract

Amid growing concerns over the ethical risks of accelerating technological development, this study examines how Christopher Nolan’s Tenet confronts the tensions of temporal ethics and scientific responsibility through a narrative and visual design that functions as a critical reflection on time, agency, and moral consequence. Using a qualitative interpretive design, the study employs film-textual analysis based on Knight’s methodological framework and Strano’s concept of the “ludic space,” while grounding its ethical argument in Hans Jonas’s ethic of responsibility. Data were generated through repeated close-viewing of temporally inverted sequences and interpretive mapping of narrative causality. The analysis yields three central findings: Tenet transforms determinism into an ethical condition where human agency persists within inevitability; the film reconfigures Hans Jonas’s ethic of responsibility by inverting its direction from present-to-future obligation to future-to-present retaliation driven by ecological trauma; and the cognitive struggle of the spectator to comprehend the film’s nonlinear story world represents an ethical act in itself, simulating the characters’ moral dilemmas under temporal uncertainty. The finding is not merely a science fiction narrative but a critical philosophical allegory for contemporary moral responsibility, challenging the direction, burden, and mandate of technological power across time.

Abstract

The examination of existential crisis in film has gained increasing relevance as cinema provides a representational space capable of illuminating complex human struggles with meaning, suffering, and psychological disorientation. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the construction of existential crisis and psychological recovery experienced by the protagonist Otto Anderson in the 2022 film A Man Called Otto. Employing a qualitative approach through interpretive textual analysis, this study aims to analyze key scenes, dialogues, and character developments that depict Otto’s existential rupture and subsequent transformation. The analysis is guided by Irvin D. Yalom’s Existential Psychotherapy, which outlines the four fundamental existential conditions, and Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy, which emphasizes meaning reconstruction through creative, experiential, and attitudinal values. Findings reveal that the film portrays Otto’s existential crisis through his encounters with loss, isolation, and diminished purpose, expressed in pervasive despair and withdrawal. The study further demonstrates that Otto’s psychological recovery unfolds through the gradual restoration of meaning facilitated by relational connectedness, prosocial engagement, and the capacity to transcend personal suffering. This research highlights the potential of cinematic narratives to serve as interpretive sites for examining meaning-making processes and existential transformation within contemporary human experience.

Abstract

This study examines the use of code-switching among characters in the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), which portrays the bilingual Mandarin–English experiences of Chinese-American immigrants living within a multicultural environment. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research focuses on analyzing naturally occurring language patterns in the film. Data were collected through systematic observation and transcription of the movie’s dialogues, followed by detailed identification of utterances containing language alternation. The analysis was conducted using Poplack’s (1980) framework, which categorizes code-switching into intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag switching. The results reveal that intra-sentential switching is the most dominant type, accounting for 64% of the total instances. This type appears frequently in emotionally expressive conversations, demonstrating the characters’ high bilingual proficiency and their tendency to blend linguistic resources to convey nuanced feelings. Inter-sentential switching constitutes 32% of the data and is typically used to mark shifts in topic, context, or level of formality, particularly when characters transition between family interactions and broader social settings. Tag switching is the least frequent type at 4%, yet it plays an important role in signaling cultural identity and social intimacy through short Mandarin or Cantonese expressions embedded in English-dominant speech. Overall, the findings indicate that code-switching in the movie functions not only as a communication strategy but also as a reflection of cultural hybridity, emotional expression, and identity negotiation among bilingual immigrants. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of multilingual communication and may be useful for language teaching practices that emphasize sociocultural awareness.

Abstract

This article investigates the representation of grief and trauma in Indonesia's digital media landscape, with a particular focus on the role of podcasts as a new space for personal narratives and social advocacy. This study analyzes in-depth an interview with Sharon, the mother of the late Timothy Anugerah Saputra, in a high-profile episode of the podcast "Curhat Bang." Using Gérard Genette's conceptual framework of narratology—specifically the concepts of sequence (analepsis), voice, and mood (focalization) as recontextualized by contemporary narrative theorists—this study examines how personal accounts of loss are strategically constructed. The qualitative analysis reveals that the interview effectively uses disrupted chronology (analepsis or flashback) to build emotion and dramatic tension. The first-person perspective, focused on the mother, not only creates intimacy and authenticity but also places the listener directly in the experience of her suffering. The strategic deployment of pathos (emotional appeal) through the mother's voice elevates this personal story into a universal commentary on systemic injustice and the ongoing struggle to attain truth. This transformation transformed journalistic reporting into a powerful tragic narrative, one that not only evoked public empathy but also mobilized calls for justice. Ultimately, this analysis offers significant insights into the intersections between grief narratives, media genres, and advocacy, and demonstrates the transformative power of digital storytelling in shaping public discourse in contemporary Indonesia.
