Abstract

This article explores the representation of portal fantasy in three distinct works: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Solo Leveling Volume 1 by Chu-Gong, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Volume 1 by Fuse. The research problem centers on how the portal fantasy formula is adapted and represented in different literary forms novels and manga. Drawing on theories from Farah Mendlesohn on fantasy genres, E.M. Forster on key elements of novels, and Will Eisner on comics, the study employs a comparative literature approach and qualitative methods, including close reading and textual analysis. The analysis focuses on key elements such as setting, plot, motif, and character to uncover how these works embody the portal fantasy genre. The findings reveal that each work utilizes the portal concept uniquely to achieve distinct narrative purposes: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe emphasizes the contrast between the real world and a magical one, offering moral and exploratory adventures, Solo Leveling presents a dynamic, challenge-filled journey that serves as a metaphor for personal growth and transformation and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime explores themes of identity and adaptation through the protagonist’s reincarnation in a fantastical world. The results highlight the versatility of the portal fantasy genre in conveying complex themes of transformation, identity, and exploration across different media. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how portal fantasy functions within various literary forms, offering insights into its narrative potential and thematic richness.

Abstract

Language plays a vital role in expressing human emotions, intentions, and identities across various social contexts. Within the framework of speech act theory, expressive speech acts serve as a medium through which speakers convey psychological states and attitudes toward particular situations. This study examines the types and functions of expressive speech acts used by Jude Bellingham in his personal brand development through his YouTube documentary. The research applies Searle’s (1969) classification of expressive speech acts and Ronan’s (2015) typology to analyze how Bellingham communicates emotions, attitudes, and social values in authentic, context-rich settings. A qualitative descriptive method is employed, using naturally occurring linguistic data from the documentary to identify and interpret expressions of gratitude, pride, humility, and empathy within Bellingham’s discourse. The findings reveal that expressive speech acts play a crucial role in shaping his public persona, reinforcing his authenticity, maturity, and relatability as a global athlete. Furthermore, the study highlights the intersection of linguistic expression, cultural adaptation, and personal branding in the digital era. This research contributes to the field of pragmatics by expanding the analysis of expressive speech acts into the domain of sports communication and digital self-presentation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the romantic formula in Midnight Sun (2018) by analyzing the plot and characterization through the lens of John G. Cawelti's romantic formula theory, supported by Radway's theory. Using a qualitative research design and an objective literary criticism approach, this study identifies the key elements of the romantic formula, including the initial meeting between the protagonists, the development of their relationship, the introduction of conflict, and its resolution. The findings show that Midnight Sun successfully applies the classic structure of romantic narratives. The film follows Cawelti's stages from the first meeting, the development of the relationship, emotional conflict, and ends with a bittersweet yet meaningful resolution. The characterization revealed by Radway reflects the romantic formula that provides emotional depth and satisfaction for the audience. The findings show that Midnight Sun follows the common romantic structure, where the relationship between the hero and heroine develops through emotional and situational obstacles before reaching a resolution. This study contributes to the broader discourse on romantic narratives in popular cinema, offering insights into the application of formulaic storytelling in contemporary films.

Abstract

Song lyrics serve as a medium for expressing complex emotions, including grief and loss. This study aims to analyse the representation of grief in "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief model. The data consist of 9 stanzas of the song's lyrics that were analysed using a qualitative descriptive method, examining the lyrics by identifying signifiers and signifieds and interpreting their meanings through the process of signification. The findings reveal that grief is represented through recurring symbols such as black cars, funeral flowers, darkness, and color imagery, which signify mourning, emotional suffering, hopelessness, and irreversible loss. The analysis identifies four stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, with depression emerging as the dominant stage. This research contributes to semiotic and literary studies by demonstrating how Saussurean semiotics can be integrated with psychological grief models to analyse emotional expression in song lyrics. The study concludes that "Paint It Black" portrays grief as a transformative experience communicated through a rich system of symbolic signs.

Abstract

Speech disfluencies are natural yet meaningful features of spontaneous speech that reflect real-time cognitive processing demands during language production. In second-language (L2) contexts, disfluencies occur more frequently because speakers must simultaneously manage conceptual planning, lexical retrieval, syntactic encoding, and self-monitoring with limited linguistic automaticity. Despite growing research on L2 fluency, disfluency as a psycholinguistic phenomenon remains underexplored in self-initiated digital communication contexts, particularly on platforms such as TikTok, where young adult L2 speakers produce spontaneous, minimally edited English speech as part of self-improvement challenges. This study aims to describe the types of speech disfluencies produced by three Indonesian TikTok users in their spontaneous English speech and to explain the underlying psycholinguistic factors that trigger them. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, nine video samples from the ‘Day 1–30 Speaking English Challenge’ were analyzed through verbatim transcription and qualitative content analysis, drawing on Levelt’s (1989) speech production model and Kormos’ (2006) framework of second language speech processing. The analysis identified 227 disfluency tokens distributed across three major categories: pauses, comprising silent and filled pauses (171 instances total); hesitations, encompassing repetitions, false starts, truncated words, prolongations, and self-corrections (84 instances); and lexicalized fillers (9 instances). Five underlying psycholinguistic factors were identified as triggers: conceptual planning difficulty, lexical retrieval effort, syntactic and phonological encoding demands, working memory load, and self-monitoring behavior, each operating at distinct stages of speech production. While the findings are specific to this dataset and are not intended for broad generalization, they demonstrate that disfluencies in spontaneous L2 digital speech are not random errors but systematic indicators of real-time cognitive processing. The study contributes to the extension of Levelt’s (1989) and Kormos’ (2006) frameworks to digitally mediated speech contexts, with implications for psycholinguistically informed fluency assessment, language pedagogy, and the role of self-initiated digital speaking practice, such as TikTok speaking challenges, in fostering authentic L2 fluency development.
