Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of figurative language in The Phantom of the Opera by identifying its types and meanings through a semantic lens. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a library research approach, the analysis focuses on selected dialogues and song lyrics from the film. The findings reveal five dominant types of figurative language—symbol, metonymy, personification, metaphor, and hyperbole. These figurative elements not only enhance the emotional depth of the characters but also enrich the artistic and narrative quality of the musical. The study concludes that figurative language plays a significant role in conveying complex emotions and underlying themes, thereby fostering a deeper appreciation of nonliteral meaning in musical storytelling.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze student agency through the manifestation of motivation and participation within the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model at SMP Negeri 7 Pematangsiantar. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research explores how students articulate their self-capacity within a project-based learning ecosystem. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the students. The data analysis is grounded in the dimensions of intrinsic-extrinsic motivation as well as cognitive, emotional, and social participation. The results indicate that PjBL serves as an incubation space for agency, capable of enhancing students' intrinsic motivation and learning autonomy. However, the findings reveal that student agency is not uniform; variations in engagement arise due to the influence of self-efficacy and the dynamics of peer relations within groups. These findings underscore that student agency develops optimally when supported by adaptive teacher facilitation, authentic project relevance, and inclusive group management. This study concludes that PjBL effectively acts as a catalyst for student agency when implemented contextually in learning situations that value student voice and choice.

Abstract

Most research on directive speech acts and power relations focuses on institutional hierarchies, such as teacher–student or employer–employee interactions. However, attention to how power is constructed in the context of informational asymmetry—specifically where no legitimate social authority exists—remains relatively limited. This study fills this gap by analyzing the film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan (2025), which presents a unique pragmatic situation where a stranger establishes dominance based solely on future knowledge. Using a descriptive qualitative design, this research integrates Searle Speech Act Theory and Fairclough Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings indicate that directive speech acts are the most dominant linguistic feature, used to regulate the interlocutor's bodily habits. The analysis demonstrates that the protagonist applies specific constraints on content to negate or override the interlocutor's agency. The study concludes that, in the absence of formal social status, authority is discursively constructed through epistemic advantage (knowledge superiority), where linguistic coercion gains legitimacy through the urgency of survival. Thus, this research contributes to the pragmatic understanding of power dynamics in high-stakes, non-institutional conflicts.
