Abstract

This study explores the rhetorical strategies employed by Dr. Zakir Naik in one of his public speeches, focusing on how persuasion is constructed through Aristotle’s rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes a selected speech transcript to uncover how language and argumentation are strategically used to influence audiences in a religious and intercultural context. Drawing on Aristotle's classical rhetorical theory as the main analytical framework, the study identifies how Dr. Naik establishes credibility (ethos), appeals to emotion (pathos), and constructs logical reasoning (logos) to strengthen his message. The analysis reveals that Dr. Naik effectively blends these rhetorical elements to assert religious authority, counter opposing viewpoints, and engage audiences from diverse backgrounds. This study contributes to the understanding of rhetorical discourse in contemporary religious communication and provides insight into how language can be used as a powerful tool for persuasion in cross-cultural settings.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of social class in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights through the lens of Marxist literary criticism. While previous research has discussed themes such as class hierarchy, symbolic power, and economic determinism, limited attention has been given to how these dynamics are directly embedded in the novel’s dialogue and narrative interactions. To address this gap, this research analyzes twenty selected textual excerpts using key Marxist concepts, including class struggle, ideology, and material conditions. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, drawing on the works of Marx and Engels, Eagleton, and other theorists to interpret how language and character behavior reflect social positioning. The findings show that Wuthering Heights portrays a deeply stratified social environment in which identities, decisions, and conflicts are shaped by class-based power relations. Heathcliff’s marginalization, Catherine’s status-driven choices, and Hindley’s abusive dominance embody recurring patterns of oppression and resistance consistent with Marxist theory. The study concludes that Brontë’s novel not only dramatizes interpersonal tensions but also exposes the structural inequalities that govern them, offering a more nuanced understanding of how Victorian literature reflects and critiques social class. This research contributes to existing scholarship by providing a dialogue-centered, textually grounded analysis that clarifies the mechanisms of class representation more precisely than broader thematic studies.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Intellectual Diary (ID) strategy in enhancing EFL students' Reader Response Competence during the reading of Ernest Hemingway’s novella, The Old Man and the Sea. Grounded in Rosenblatt's (1978) transactional theory, the study addresses the challenge of passive reading by implementing the ID as a structured reflective tool. This qualitative descriptive research involved 28 undergraduate students from an Indonesian state university. Data were collected from 112 Intellectual Diary entries, supplemented by interviews and field notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis focused on four dimensions of response: interpretative depth, emotional engagement, critical inquiry, and personal reflection. Findings revealed a substantial improvement across all four dimensions, with high overall mean scores (2.75 to 4.00). The ID successfully fostered deeper symbolic understanding (interpretative depth) and significantly enhanced students' personal connection and empathy for Santiago's struggle (emotional engagement and personal reflection). Furthermore, reflective writing encouraged a more critical and questioning stance toward the text. In conclusion, the Intellectual Diary is an effective and theoretically sound pedagogical strategy for transforming reading into an active, transformative process. Its use is strongly recommended for EFL literature classrooms aiming to cultivate reflective, analytical, and emotionally engaged readers.

Abstract

This study examines the forms of implicature in the lyrics ofLove Will Prevailby Maher Zain using a pragmatic approach based on HP Grice's theory of implicature. The research aims to identify the types of conventional and conversational implicatures found in the song and to analyze how situational and cultural contexts influence the interpretation of its implied meanings. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, with the song lyrics serving as the primary data source. Data were analyzed through identification, classification, and interpretation of implicature types, followed by contextual analysis.  The findings reveal that both conventional and conversational implicatures are present in the lyrics. However, conversational implicature is more dominant (62.5%) than conventional implicature (37.5%). The flouting of conversational maxims particularly the maxims of quantity, relevance, and manner functions as a strategic rhetorical device to convey emotional depth, collective suffering, hope, and spiritual resilience. Furthermore, the interpretation of implicature is strongly influenced by situational context, such as global humanitarian crises, and cultural-religious values embedded in the lyrics. These contextual dimensions expand the meaning beyond literal interpretation and position the song as a form of moral and humanitarian discourse. The study concludes that song lyrics function not only as artistic expression but also as pragmatic communication rich in implicit meaning. The application of Grice's theory demonstrates its continued relevance in analyzing contemporary musical discourse.

Abstract

This study explores the hidden mechanisms of patriarchal oppression in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story, The Yellow Wallpaper. While previous studies have widely discussed its general feminist themes, there is a lack of research analyzing how specific everyday objects actively build this oppressive atmosphere. To fill this gap, this study applies Roland Barthes’ three-level semiotic theory—denotation, connotation, and myth—to decode ordinary household items within the story. Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis and close reading, the textual data was analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the husband's medical authority, the barred nursery room, and the ugly yellow wallpaper work together as a complex sign system. This system is carefully designed to normalize male dominance, treat the adult female protagonist like a helpless child, and silence her intellectual freedom. Ultimately, this semiotic analysis uncovers a tragic myth: the patriarchal system would rather drive a woman completely insane than grant her true equality. This study concludes that ordinary objects in literature are not just simple backgrounds, but powerful tools that carry deep ideological meanings about gender and systemic control.
