Abstract

This research aims to reveal various rhetorical styles of world figures when delivering their orations/speeches in front of the public from a language style perspective. This research uses a figurative language approach as a theoretical concept. Figurative language is language that "symbolizes" a typical way of expressing thoughts and feelings in mental or verbal form. Abrams (2010) stated that figurative language is part of language style in the form of rhetoric. By using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research reveals several speeches by world figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Soekarno. The results of this research showed that world figures apply a distinctive rhetorical style but can be traced using the styles of Anaphora, Parallelism, Hetorical Questions, Metaphor, Tricolon, Antithesis, Epistrophe, Pathos, Allusion, and Litotes.

Abstract

The Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) stipulates that the government must prioritize public interests, even when natural resource access has been granted to individuals or entities. This study will explore the incorporation of PTD into Indonesian law and utilize it to assess the constitutionality of the Mineral and Coal Law enacted on May 12, 2020. Criticism has arisen from various quarters regarding this law, as it appears to endorse unsustainable resource exploitation, posing a threat to the well-being of communities residing near mining areas. Employing a normative juridical approach and relying on secondary sources such as legal documents and Constitutional Court decisions (MK), this research seeks to examine the compatibility of PTD with Article 33(3) of the Indonesian Constitution. Our findings suggest that PTD is applicable if natural resources play a vital role in the public domain, and their regulation fully aligns with the principle of "to the fullest extent of public welfare." However, an analysis of specific provisions such as Article 22, Article 169A(1), and Article 169B(5) within the Mineral and Coal Law reveals inconsistencies with the PTD concept.

Abstract

Movies are popular forms of entertainment for younger individuals and a useful instruments for language learning. This study focuses on semantics, specifically the use of metaphorical language in the film "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." Semantics is a method of linguistics that studies meaning, including synonyms, antonyms, word meanings, and word relationships. This study used a qualitative research method to detect different types of metaphorical language in the movie script. The qualitative approach entails analyzing data using words and utterances, whereas the data was collected and analyzed using methodology and observation. The study approach consisted of watching the film, analyzing the transcript, and identifying metaphorical terms. The researchers used a non-participant technique, in which they studied the movie transcript without directly interacting with the subjects. The study identified and classified 13 instances of figurative language, including 1 simile (7.7%), 2 metaphors (15.4%), 2 personifications (15.4%), 2 hyperboles (15.4%), 2 occurrences of irony (15.4%), 2 cases of symbolism (15.4%), 1 paradox (7.7%), and 1 litotes (7.7%). The findings highlight the film's varied use of figurative language, which enriches the story and improves comprehension, making it an interesting medium for language learners.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the short story Cerita Batu through the lens of deconstruction, focusing on the reversal of hierarchical oppositions and the rejection of new hierarchical structures. The analysis identifies key binary oppositions in the text Man/Woman, Living Things/Inanimate Objects, and Happy/Sad and examines how these oppositions function within the narrative. The study highlights how the text initially presents dominant and marginal hierarchies, such as male dominance over female and human superiority over inanimate objects, which are later deconstructed. By reversing these hierarchies, the story reveals the interdependence between opposing elements: men and women, humans and stones, and happiness and sadness. The narrative demonstrates that these binary oppositions are not fixed, but fluid and interconnected, showing how meaning in the text is plural and resistant to singular interpretations. Ultimately, Cerita Batu emphasize the idea that oppositions are mutually constitutive, challenging conventional notions of dominance and subordination.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of positive politeness strategies in formal business correspondence written by native English speakers. The research is motivated by the increasing recognition of politeness as a pragmatic tool in maintaining professionalism and managing interpersonal relationships in written communication. Despite numerous studies on digital communication, there is limited analysis of how politeness strategies are systematically employed in conventional business letters. To address this gap, the study analyzes fifteen letters selected from the Oxford Handbook of Commercial Correspondence. Using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory and Nickerson’s (1999) typology of business letter components, the research focuses on elements such as salutations, contexts, pre-closes, closings, signatures, and enclosures. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with the referential identity technique applied to classify and interpret 121 instances of politeness strategies. The results show that the most frequent strategy was the use of appropriate forms of address (45 instances), followed by establishing common ground, expressing optimism, and asserting knowledge. These strategies appeared consistently across letter components, reflecting their dual function as both communicative and relational tools. The findings highlight the central role of linguistic politeness in reinforcing professionalism, fostering mutual respect, and encouraging future cooperation. This study concludes that positive politeness is not merely ornamental, but a vital rhetorical device in written business interaction. Future research may explore how these strategies vary across cultural contexts or adapt in digital business communications.
