Abstract

This study investigates the second language acquisition of Alesha, a 6-year-old girl. Despite mastering her mother tongue, Indonesian, Alesha has been exposed to English since a young age through interactions with her parents and media. The study focuses on Alesha's ability of her second language in daily contexts, particularly in interactions with her mother. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research aims to comprehend phenomena by providing detailed descriptions and interpreting their meanings, without using numbers or statistics. Data collection involves interviews, where conversations between the mother and child are recorded, with the researcher noting relevant information. Findings reveal that although Alesha can communicate in English, there are syntactic constraints evident in her sentence patterns, particularly regarding the use of auxiliary verbs and distinguishing between plural and singular nouns. These findings align with observations that Alesha's exposure to her second language is inconsistent. The article highlights the importance of consistency in second language learning patterns for children, whether through parental involvement or media exposure. Research on Alesha is beneficial for parents, language educators, and researchers in understanding children's language development and designing more effective teaching stategies. Furthermore, those interested in researching the same topic are advised to conduct a research with subjects of the same age as Alesha, as well as analysis with other related variables, for a better understanding of second language acquisition in 6-year-old children.

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate two prosodic variations (intended meaning and unintended meaning) and to deepen the understanding of the emotional nuances conveyed by women's utterances of the word terserah, contributing insights into linguistic communication and emotional expression. This research employed a descriptive qualitative analysis design. Data were collected from women of different ethnic backgrounds and ages, all married to facilitate emotional expression during recording. Three speakers participated in this research: a 31-year-old Javanese woman (P1), a 35-year-old Banjanese woman (P2), and a 40-year-old Bataknese woman (P3). Prosodic elements were measured using PRAAT, a software tool used to analyze prosodic elements such as frequency, intensity, and duration. The findings revealed significant differences between intended and unintended meanings. Intended meaning was characterized by lower pitch, lower intensity, and longer duration with a descending tone. In contrast, unintended meaning exhibited higher pitch, higher intensity, and shorter duration with an ascending tone. In conclusion, the prosodic variations indicate different emotional expressions. However, contextual factors, individual psychological conditions, body language, and facial expressions also play crucial roles in determining the emotional meaning of verbal communication. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of emotions requires an approach that considers all these aspects together.

Abstract

This study examines the phonetic and stylistic elements of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, a song renowned for its distinctive structure and complex themes. It redirects attention from the previously explored cultural, narrative, and biographical elements to investigate the overlooked phonological characteristics that contribute to its aesthetic and emotional resonance. Employing a qualitative methodology, the song’s lyrics were transcribed phonetically using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to identify dominant consonants and vowels. The results indicate that consonants such as /d/, /s/, /l/, and /n/, along with vowels such as /ɪ/, /ə/, and /aɪ/, play a crucial role in defining the sound quality of the lyrics. These phonological features enhance the song's musicality while emphasizing its narrative tension and emotional depth. The interplay of these sounds creates a dynamic auditory experience that aligns with the song’s shifting emotional landscapes. The study concludes that the phonological elements in Bohemian Rhapsody function as integral carriers of meaning, enriching its thematic and emotional layers. This research bridges linguistic analysis with musical narrative, demonstrating how phono-stylistics can uncover the deeper aspects of iconic musical texts and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue in linguistics, musicology, and cultural studies. The findings imply that similar approaches can be applied to other complex musical compositions, opening new avenues for analyzing the interplay between language and music in various cultural contexts

Abstract

This study examines how social actors are represented in Prabowo Subianto’s discourse during the first 2024 Indonesian presidential debate. Drawing on Theo van Leeuwen’s (2008) Social Actor Theory within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study analyzes seventeen selected utterances to uncover the ideological and discursive strategies employed to construct political identity and reinforce legitimacy. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the data were obtained from the official debate transcript and analyzed through categorization of inclusion, exclusion, activation, personalization, and other representation strategies. The findings reveal that Prabowo frequently activates himself as a patriotic reformer, elevates the people as sovereign decision-makers, background institutions, and subtly delegitimizes political opponents through irony, contrast, and historical recontextualization. The study also shows how humor, metaphor, and informal language are strategically used to foster emotional proximity with the public. These strategies contribute to building a persuasive and ideologically charged public persona. The results demonstrate that live political performance in presidential debates functions as a site of symbolic authority construction and ideological negotiation. This research offers both theoretical and empirical contributions to discourse studies and political communication, particularly in the context of contemporary Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

This study investigates topic continuity and referential cohesion in the song “Perfect” by Simple Plan using Givón’s quantitative model. The objective is to analyze how various types of anaphoric references, including zero anaphora, definite pronouns, third-person pronouns, and possessive pronouns, function to maintain coherence and convey emotional meaning within the lyrics. Employing a qualitative descriptive design supported by quantitative analysis, the research examines the referential distance (JR), potential interference (PI), and topic continuity (TC) in each clause of the song. The data consist of all anaphoric expressions identified in the lyrics, collected through close reading and clause segmentation. The findings reveal that the song heavily relies on first and second person pronouns to construct an intimate and emotionally charged discourse. Zero anaphora is used selectively to create immediacy, while third-person and possessive pronouns support abstract and personal references. The absence of indefinite pronouns reflects the song’s focus on specific interpersonal conflict. These results suggest that Givón’s model is applicable to expressive, non-traditional texts such as song lyrics. The study contributes to the field of stylistics and discourse analysis by demonstrating how referential cohesion shapes meaning in emotionally driven narratives.
