Abstract

>This study investigates the representation of childhood trauma in Paramore’s song The Only Exception by analyzing its figurative language through the lens of trauma theory. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research explores how the lyrics articulate the long-term psychological effects of witnessing parental conflict and how figurative devices, such as metaphor, personification, hyperbole, paradox, and repetition, convey the narrator’s emotional struggles. Drawing on Herman’s (1992) and Perry’s (2001) theories of trauma alongside contemporary scholarship on childhood adversity, this study demonstrates that the song reflects trauma not only as an individual experience but also as a cultural narrative. The results highlight how trauma manifests in avoidance strategies, mistrust of love, and fear of intimacy, yet also reveal the possibility of resilience and gradual healing. By positioning popular music as literature, the research underscores how songs can serve as testimonies of private pain that become accessible to a wider audience, turning trauma into a shared cultural text. In conclusion, this study contributes to the fields of literature, cultural studies, and psychology by showing how music operates as both artistic expression and psychological discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzes rhetorical devices used by Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in their spontaneous verbal exchange published by The Wall Street Journal in 2025. This study aims to identify the types of rhetorical devices used by both political leaders and to explain how these devices function as instruments of power negotiation in high-stakes political communication. This research applies Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis framework, focusing on textual and sociocultural practice dimensions to examine how language constructs power relations and social meaning. This paper used a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that Trump predominantly uses repetition, metaphor, hyperbole, and sarcasm to assert dominance and construct authority. At the same time, Zelensky employs rhetorical questions, rejection of imposed metaphors, emotional appeals, and ethical positioning to resist dominant framing and maintain credibility. Overall, the findings indicate that rhetorical devices play an important role not only as stylistic choices but also as strategic mechanisms for negotiating power and shaping social meaning in spontaneous international political discourse.
