Abstract

This article aims to explore John Milton’s poetic theme and style in his epic poem “Paradise Lost” Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse. It explores the biblical story of the fall of man, focusing primarily on the rebellion of Satan and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. From the background above, this research aims to explain the theory of a thematic and stylistic analysis of John Milton's Paradise Lost. The method used is a literature review, which includes the analysis and evaluation of scientific articles and journals that are relevant to the research problem. This research explains the thematic study of the poem; we analyzed themes and gave significant clues about them. Finally, we tackled the style used by the author in the poem. Concerning the style, we have noticed that Milton's writing style in Paradise Lost is characterized by its elaborate use of figurative language, including epic similes, vivid imagery, and intricate metaphors.

Abstract

This article approaches the correlations between the names of special children and their birth circumstances. We have used the lexical-pragmatic theory to show how context and circumstance of births contribute to the names ’meanings. This chapter considers recent work on lexical meaning developed within relevance theory which has been described using the term lexical pragmatics. This work focuses on how words are understood in context. It examines the socio-cultural significances of special children names in Tshiluba of Kasaï (L31), the cultural language of Luba people of Kasaï and one of the four national languages in Democratic Republic of Congo. Traditionally in the Luba culture of Kasaï, the naming custom of special children depends on the contexts and circumstances surrounding their births.
