Abstract

This study aims to examine the illocutionary acts used by the secondary character, Sherlock Holmes, in the movie Enola Holmes 2. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study analyzed the dialogue in the movie transcript to identify the types of illocutionary acts employed by the characters. The study found that all types of illocutionary acts proposed by Searle (1969) were present in the movie. The most frequently used illocutionary act by Sherlock Holmes was assertive (55.2%), which reflects his role as a professional detective who delivers information and updates on his cases. In contrast, commissive (4.6%) was the least used illocutionary act by Sherlock Holmes, as he rarely makes promises to other characters. The study also examined the perlocutionary acts, which indicate the response of the interlocutors to the illocutionary acts used by Sherlock Holmes. The responses ranged from irritation to persuasion, encouragement, and sadness. This study highlights the importance of understanding the use of illocutionary acts in effective communication and provides insight into the language of a well-known literary character.

Abstract

Communication is a form of bridge to convey thoughts between one individual and another. Every person must have their measure of being polite and harmonious according to who they are dealing with, including Wednesday Addams. This pragmatic research scrutinizes the politeness strategies employed by Wednesday Addams, the lead female protagonist in the Netflix series Wednesday. The character Wednesday Addams utilizes politeness strategies to maintain public and self-image during interactions while solving a murder case. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the researchers found that Wednesday frequently used bald on-record strategies with straightforward speech without being threatening. In contrast, off-record strategies were used less frequently. The researchers also observed that Wednesday used all the politeness strategies outlined by Brown and Levinson (1987). This study highlights the significance of politeness, not only for interpersonal relationships but also for achieving long-term goals, as demonstrated in the “Wednesday” series. However, further studies could provide additional perspectives and challenge the findings presented in this study.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of gendered language features as exhibited by the male and female protagonists in the anime series Fruits Basket (Season 1). Grounded in Deborah Tannen’s (1990) sociolinguistic framework, which posits that male and female communication styles often reflect contrasting cultures, a “report talk” prioritizing status and independence versus a "rapport talk" emphasizing connection and intimacy. This research examines the dialogue of Souma Kyo and Honda Tohru. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the study conducted a close textual analysis of the series' transcripts to identify and categorize distinctive linguistic patterns. The findings indicate a pronounced divergence in their communicative strategies. Kyo’s language is characterized by directness, imperative commands, and confrontational rhetoric, aligning with Tannen’s concept of a report talk oriented towards asserting dominance and achieving conversational goals. Conversely, Tohru consistently employs linguistic features designed to build rapport, including frequent use of polite forms, mitigating devices, and empathetic expressions, demonstrating a primary concern for her interlocutor's emotional state and the maintenance of harmonious relationships. These results not only corroborate Tannen’s theoretical distinctions within a popular media text but also illustrate how fictional narratives can mirror and reinforce broader sociolinguistic patterns. It is recommended that future research explores these dynamics across different cultural contexts and narrative genres to further validate these observations.

Abstract

Complex plots filled with surprises are often found in literary works of psychological suspense, where, in the end, the reader’s perspective will be completely twisted. This research aims to elaborate on the feature of psychological suspense in Jennifer McMahon’s work, The Children on the Hill. This novel tells how Violet and Lizzy dig for information to find the truth about something in each different time zone. It is none other than the dark family secret and the truth about the real monster. The descriptive qualitative method is applied to explain the plot of The Children on the Hill in detail and thoroughly. Through the application of Wyatt and Saricks’ theory of genre fiction characteristics, several plots that give the effect of psychological suspense were identified. The story was complex in that the truth of the matter was jumbled as information overlapped. Another surprising element is where the incident depicts a mental state that seems to be trapped in a nightmare and feels like it is beyond rationale. Both characters have their own complicated and heart-breaking problems as they go deeper to discover the truth. These plots show compatibility with Wyatt and Saricks’ theory of psychological suspense.

Abstract

For nearly five decades, Robin Lakoff’s women’s language features have been well examined. These features such as hedges, intensifiers, and rising intonation have traditionally positioned women as powerless language users due to their less-assertive nature. However, few have highlighted how these features can serve as rhetorical strategies that can effectively utilized to argue confidently without appearing overly assertive, in line with social expectations. This study examines women’s language features used by Emma Watson at the HeForShe Campaign 2014. By using a descriptive qualitative method, we collected data from Emma’s speech to identify the features of the women’s language that she used to address gender equality issues. The study found six of Lakoff’s (1975) women’s language features, with lexical hedges being the most frequently used to represent politeness and caution in speaking as well as expressing respect for the interlocutor. Notably, tag questions, precise color terms, hypercorrect grammar, and avoiding strong swear words were not found, likely due to their irrelevance to the feminism-focused topic in the campaign. Instead of highlighting the perceived weaknesses of women’s language, this study emphasizes that women’s language can be a means to empower women’s voices. Emma effectively and persuasively delivered her campaign by using her mastery of language, storytelling techniques, and rhetoric to engage the audience. Overall, Emma strategically utilized women’s language to demonstrate her linguistic capability and even persuade the audience effectively rather than showing the weakness of women’s language as commonly perceived by previous studies.
