Abstract

This study examines the symbolic meanings conveyed through visual metaphors in the 2022 animated film Luck. Utilizing Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory, the research aims to identify and interpret the signs present within the movie. The study employs a qualitative research paradigm and a descriptive approach, collecting data through repeated viewings of the film and cataloging the identified signs as icons, indexes, or symbols per Peirce's triadic model. The analysis reveals a total of 16 signs, comprising 3 icons, 4 indexes, and 9 symbols, which are then subjected to semiotic analysis. The findings demonstrate that the iconic signs, such as the photograph of the protagonist Sam as a child, symbolize his past. Indexical signs, like the list of orphanages he resided in, indicate his nomadic upbringing. Symbolic representations, including the four-leaf clover and the leprechaun characters, signify cultural notions of luck and fortune. The pervasive use of the color green and imagery like ladybugs further reinforce the thematic exploration of luck and prosperity. Overall, the movie Luck employs a rich tapestry of visual symbols to delve into complex concepts like fate, perspective, and fortune, enhancing the narrative depth and enriching the viewing experience.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the use of speech acts in Ethel Cain's Strangers and Sun Bleached Flies from her acclaimed album Preacher's Daughter. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research design that focuses on the analysis of Searle's speech act classification—declaratives, representatives, directives, expressives, and commissives—to uncover how Cain conveys complex emotional narratives related to trauma, identity, and familial relationships. This research uses library research to collect data from the lyrics of two of Ethel Cain’s selected songs, Strangers and Sun Bleached Flies. The data analysis process aligns with typical approaches in speech act analysis within linguistics, particularly in contexts where John Searle's taxonomy is applied to literary or artistic works like song lyrics. The findings reveal that speech acts are very useful for deciphering the complex meaning of music lyrics and suggest that Cain's nuanced use of language not only enhances the emotional depth of her music but also invites listeners to engage with themes of vulnerability and resilience. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of contemporary songwriting as a form of expressive communication.

Abstract

This study analyzes the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer through Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis approach. Using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory, this study explores the dynamics between the id, ego, and superego in J. Robert Oppenheimer, as well as the conflicts experienced by J. Robert Oppenheimer. The researcher analyzed these theories with a descriptive qualitative approach using the methods of narrative text study and film discourse analysis. The results show that J. Robert Oppenheimer's internal and external conflicts do not only reflect personal struggles, but also include broader themes of scientific ethics and the impact of technology on humanity. The research also identifies that J. Robert Oppenheimer's personality dynamics are complex and reflect the tension between personal ambition, moral responsibility, and social pressure. The interaction between the id, ego, and superego created deep conflict both internally and externally, influencing his decisions, behaviour, and mental health.

Abstract

Speaking skill is one of the main components in English language learning that requires students’ courage and self-confidence. However, many senior high school students still face psychological barriers in expressing themselves orally. This community service program aimed to enhance students’ confidence in speaking through storytelling activities within the context of English language learning. The program was conducted at SMAN 8 Makassar and involved 23 students who were guided and mentored by a team from the Department of English, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, along with students participating in the Asistensi Mengajar Mandiri (AjarMi) program. The implementation method consisted of three stages: preparation, the storytelling workshop, and evaluation through observation and student reflection. The results of the program indicated a significant improvement in students’ self-confidence, speaking fluency, and expressive ability. This activity also demonstrated effective collaboration among the university, student teachers, and the school in promoting communicative and humanistic language learning.

Abstract

This study explored the violations from Grice’s cooperative maxims within English language classroom interactions at an English Learning Centre. The research aimed to identify which maxim is most frequently violated and to explain the pragmatic functions of these violations. Applying a qualitative research approach, the researcher examined two audio-recorded classroom sessions: recordings were transcribed and analyzed using interactive analysis (Miles, Huberman, & Saldana). Data underwent reduction, classified under the four Gricean maxims (specifically Quantity, Quality, Relation, Manner), and demonstrated through selected extracts. Finding indicated that breaches of Relation Maxim occurred most often (50%), with Manner (21.42%), Quality (19.04%), and Quantity (9.52%) following in order. Data excerpts indicated that many breaches serve pragmatic purposes to create humor and elicit laughter, maintain rapport, control speaker exchange, and allow self-correction instead of signaling communicative breakdown. The study contended that within informal classroom interaction, dynamic interaction frequently emphasized social interaction instead of rigid information transfer, and that sensitivity of maxim flouting is essential to pragmatic competence. The limitations include a small dataset and lack of reported inter-rater validation. The study closed with a recommendation of explicit pragmatic instruction and future studies utilizing larger samples and verification measures to enhance teaching approaches aimed at fostering pragmatic ability among EFL learners.
