Abstract

As an antagonist in C.S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew, Queen Jadis is narratively required to be depicted as a negative character. This study aimed to analyze Queen Jadis’ negative traits and how they strengthened her role as an antagonist through textual analysis in Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s interactive qualitative data analysis model. The study showed that Queen Jadis was depicted as ruthless, arrogant, authoritarian, and cowardly, creating conflict and tension in the storyline. Queen Jadis was depicted as ruthless and arrogant to those weaker than her. She destroyed the entire world of Charn by using the Deplorable Word for her desires. When brought to the human world, she showed a dominant trait and used her power to control others. Her cowardice was most strongly shown when she fled at the sign of defeat. While these results show that Queen Jadis’s characterizations made her a proper antagonist for the children-heroes in the novel, her failure in conquering the worlds beyond Charn and loss of magical power function as punishment for these negative traits, sending a moral message to avoid building evil characters for the readers.

Abstract

Culinary language helps express and preserve cultural identity; however, the linguistic features of Banyuwangi traditional culinary terms and their links to Osing culture remain underexplored. This study analyzes the phonological, morphological, semantic, and pragmatic characteristics of these terms and examines how they function as markers of Osing identity. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research combines semi-structured interviews, participant observation in traditional food settings, and document analysis of local recipe books and menus. The findings demonstrate that these terms constitute a robust yet flexible lexicon with basic sound symbolism, wide use of compounding, many descriptive meanings and lots of metaphorical creativity that enhance memorability, oral transmission and change. While showing these words being pragmatically deployed as semiotic resources in actions localizing identity and voicing community pride, also participates in cultural branding of Banyuwangi as different by combining them with Indonesian or English classifiers to create hybrid tourism labels. Linking a detailed formal analysis of terms for foods with identity-oriented socialist, this study cries out for linguistics and provides a valuable lexical resource for classroom teaching about cultural difference in local-content and intercultural curricula as well as its contribution to local culture heritage and tourism program.
