Abstract

Pragmatics studies how meaning is understood in context, and deixis is an important part of it because it connects language with person, time, place, discourse, and social relationships. Song lyrics contain many context dependent expressions, so they are suitable for pragmatic analysis. This study aims to identify the types of deixis and explain their contextual meanings in the song “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data were taken from the song lyrics and consisted of words, phrases, and sentences that contain deixis expressions. The analysis was based on the theories of Yule (1996) and Levinson (1983), who classify deixis into person, time, place, social, and discourse deixis. The results show that all five types of deixis appear in the song. Person deixis is the most dominant type, especially the use of I and you, which shows interaction between the singer and the addressee and highlights the singer’s identity. Time deixis explains when events happen, while place deixis describes movement and direction that support the lively tone of the lyrics. Social deixis shows closeness through terms of address, and discourse deixis connects ideas in the lyrics to make the message coherent. These findings show that deixis in song lyrics does not only function as reference but also expresses identity, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. This study helps readers understand how contextual meaning is built in popular song lyrics from a pragmatic perspective and shows the role of language in shaping meaning in music.

Abstract

Accent variation is an important aspect of spoken English, yet descriptive studies of phonological features in spontaneous media interviews remain limited. This study aims to describe the phonological accent features found in the vowels and consonants produced by Anne-Marie (British English) and Ariana Grande (American English) in YouTube interviews. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription to analyze pronunciation patterns in spontaneous speech. The data consist of two interview segments: one interview of Anne-Marie (2 minutes 16 seconds) and one interview of Ariana Grande (3 minutes 39 seconds). The findings show that Anne-Marie demonstrates British English features such as /ɒ/ vowels, non-rhoticity, stable /ɪ/ realization, and T-glottalization. In contrast, Ariana Grande displays American English features including /ɑː/ vowels, stable /ɪ/ realization, and rhotic pronunciation. These patterns illustrate how phonological accent features systematically reflect speakers’ linguistic identity in natural communication contexts.

Abstract

This study examined how the animated film "Luck" depicted independence. The protagonist of the tale was Sam Greenfield, a young lady who initially had little luck. As the narrative progresses, she develops self-reliance, makes wise choices, and overcomes obstacles. While moral messages in animated films have been the subject of some prior studies, independence as a fundamental ideal has received less attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate how Sam's choices, behaviors, and personal development demonstrate independence principles. A qualitative descriptive method was employed in the study. By watching the film and identifying key moments, dialogue, and character actions, they gathered information. The data was arranged into four primary categories that demonstrated independence: being independent and in charge, making wise decisions, exhibiting bravery and perseverance, and developing via self-discovery. The findings demonstrated that Sam's independence comes from acting independently, making deliberate choices, displaying emotional fortitude in trying circumstances, and discovering more about herself via her experiences. According to the study, independence is a multifaceted trait that is cultivated via diligence, thorough consideration, and perseverance. Additionally, it was believed that pupils could learn valuable life skills from animated films, such as independence and self-reliance.

Abstract

Society's demand for technology use in education affects how students manage their learning, particularly in ELT. This study investigates the effects of SRL strategies and perceptions of technology on English achievement at Luqman Al-Hakim Islamic College. Adopting a quantitative methodology, the study employed survey data collected from 30 undergraduate students enrolled in a General English class using validated questionnaires on SRL strategies, technology perception, and English achievement. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine how much variance in students’ General English achievement could be explained by SRL strategies and perceptions of technology. The findings suggest that SRL strategies are a significant positive predictor of English achievement. Perceptions of technology also have a strong positive influence on General English achievement and contribute significantly to the explanatory power of the regression model. These results suggest that effective SRL and positive perceptions of technology play an important role in improving students’ English learning outcomes. The findings imply that teaching approaches focusing on SRL through educational technology may lead to better General English learning performance at Islamic universities.
