Abstract

This research aims to analyze the selected lyrics from Taylor Swift's album "folklore." The data for this study was obtained from the ten most frequently listened-to songs (YouTube, 2020). The primary objective is to identify various metaphors and explore the semiotic meanings within the denotative and connotative of the selected lyrics. This descriptive qualitative research employs data collection through reading and listening analysis of song lyrics, focusing on the identification of metaphors and their meanings. Following the approach outlined by Miles and Huberman (1994), the data analysis involves data reduction, data perspective, and verification. The researchers categorized the metaphors identified in the lyrics into three groups: structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. Utilizing structural metaphors facilitates the comprehension and expression of one idea in terms of another, ensuring a well-defined and organized conceptual framework. Orientational metaphors do not structure one concept in terms of another but instead organize "a whole system with respect to one another." An ontological metaphor is a way of describing abstract or difficult ideas by relating them to more familiar and tangible contexts. The kind of metaphor that is most frequently found in certain songs is the structural metaphor. Next, the meanings of 21 chosen song lyrics are examined using the denotation and connotation meaning. A sign is said to be denotative if there is a high degree of agreement between its signifier and actual meaning. Roland Barthes defined connotation as a system consisting of signifier, signified, and the action that connects the first to the second.

Abstract

This study used qualitative research employing document analysis method. The results of this study reveals seven psychopathic traits done by the main character of the movie, which are superficial charm, lack of remorse, lack of realistic long-term goals, impulsivity, lack of empathy, poor behavioral controls, and criminal versatility. The effect of the psychopathic behavior to the main character life is devastating. It made him to be despised by everyone and made him lose his job even though based on Hare's (2012) PCL-R, the main character cannot be classified as a psychopath because they did not meet the requirements to be categorized as a psychopath. Although he cannot be considered as a psychopath, the seven traits that are revealed in this study suggest that his behavior is always closely related to violence. This study can be used by other researchers who want to study psychopathic behavior further in various literary works and any emerging movie or novel writer that seeks to create a psychopath character by using this study as a reference.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain how Jeffery Dahmer's defense mechanism is portrayed in My Friend Dahmer (2017) movie and analyze its effects on his character. This research uses qualitative content analysis research with a psychoanalytic approach. The result of this study indicates four types of defense mechanisms exhibited by Jeffrey Dahmer. Denial was evident as Dahmer downplayed disturbing actions, leading to increased social disconnection. Projection, showcased through dramatic performances, resulted in strained relationships and discomfort from peers. Displacement, expressed through destructive actions on preserving dead animals, generated discomfort, and disgust from those around him. Isolation, depicted in sneaking a sip of his dad's scotch and excessive alcohol consumption, emphasized Dahmer's difficulty in connecting with others. These defense mechanisms collectively contributed to negative effects, including heightened social disconnection, strained relationships, and an escalating pattern of isolation in Dahmer's life. This research is anticipated to enhance understanding of defense mechanism portrayed in My Friend Dahmer (2017) movie and aims to raise public awareness by examining Jeffery Dahmer's defense mechanism in the same film.

Abstract

The current study examined students perspectives on the use of one of the regional learning management systems (LMS), E-Belajar (hereafter EB), at two Islamic boarding schools in Aceh, Indonesia. Fifty EFL Islamic boarding school students agreed to participate in this study. This study used a mixed method design, combining surveys and interviews. The data from the questionnaire was analysed quantitatively. Meanwhile, thematic analysis was performed on the interview data. The results revealed both good and negative attitudes of EB in ELT. Positive replies indicate that EB improved English comprehension and promoted autonomous learning, assisted students in completing English tasks on time by using the alert feature as a reminder, developed enjoyable and engaging learning activities using videos and online games, and encouraged students confidence in expressing ideas. However, negative voices highlighted the teachers failure to advise students on how to use EB properly, resulting in incorrect task submission. Students also preferred in person learning, and students had trouble communicating effectively. Students further pointed out that EB did not enhance listening skill, reading skill, speaking skill, writing skill, or grammar understanding significantly; only few students believed that EB helped promote English language skills, indicating that further efforts through EB was required. Students were also unable to access certain EB services, such as e-counselling and e-monitoring. Furthermore, dormitories have limited access to the internet. These circumstances became another drawback for students.
