Abstract

This study examines the conversational implicature in the podcast episode "The Truth About Money and Happiness," featuring Dr. Sana Sajan. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis, the research applies Grice (1975) theory of implicature to explore how implicit meanings and linguistic nuances in Dr. Sajan's discourse link abstract concepts—such as emotional fulfillment and financial stability—with tangible life experiences. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of Grice's conversational maxims—quality, quantity, relation, and manner—in enhancing listener comprehension and fostering engagement. This investigation seeks to illuminate how these pragmatic devices contribute to the delivery of complex ideas in accessible ways for the audience.

Abstract

This article examines the cultural construction of justice through a comparative literary analysis of two texts from different traditions: the Indonesian folktale The Legend of Toba and the contemporary American memoir A Lifetime of Injustice by Jessica Neyhouse. Using the methods of literary comparison and cultural hermeneutics, the study reveals how each narrative encodes justice in culturally specific ways—through cosmological punishment and ancestral norms in The Legend of Toba, and through socio-political critique and racial consciousness in A Lifetime of Injustice. Despite their differences, both texts emphasize universal moral themes such as betrayal, accountability, and the pursuit of justice. The findings support the argument that literature not only reflects cultural values but also facilitates dialogue between particular and universal ethical visions
