Abstract

This study suggests using positive politeness strategies, as seen through the speech of BTS Kim Namjoon. It also seeks to identify Asian cultural habits in communication-based on Namjoon's Asian background. This research also uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on the transcript of the YouTube video.

(2013), who suggest the habits of Asians when communicating. This research shows that BTS Kim Namjoon often uses positive politeness in the strategies of "exaggeration" and "include both S and H in the activity."  This research consist spositive politeness strategies used by BTS’ Kim Namjoon to uphold the social relationship and maintain the social interactions between the individuals.

Abstract

Despite of indicating the development of literature in a modern world, Wattpad allows any type of influence to enter its platform. Whereas there are many people who are under the age of adult, but they are writing poems that are popular. Wattpad’s poetry itself has many themes related to sadness. The aim of this research is to study about enthusiasm over sadness in Wattpad’s poetry. The method was based on qualitative-quantitative mixed method. It is found that the images of sadness revolve around guilt, depression, loneliness, trauma, and betrayal. Based on the qualitative approach, findings show that depression’s theme is portrayed more than the rest. This article proposes to conduct study of Wattpad literature based on popular works, also to use a qualitative approach to investigate the content of the platform itself. The neutrality of Wattpad’s comments is considered non-canonical from a quantitative sentiment analysis point of view and therefore requires greater attention for future research.

Abstract

This study examines themes of fear in Ray Bradbury’s The Night (1946) through the experience of the main character, Shorts. Using Fisher’s theory, this study focuses into how the environmental factors and self-control regulate human emotion, especially fear. A qualitative method is applied to explore the narrative, and reveals how external elements, such as the environment and others' reactions, as well as internal elements like past events and inner thoughts, influence Shorts's fear. The findings highlight how those factors give their impact to trigger human behavior, emphasizing the complicated connection between external circumstances and internal psychological states. Through Shorts's narrative, the study underscores the dynamic interaction between the external world and human emotion.

The researcher aims to explain the implications of using Thumbs-Up emoji for EFL Lecturers and Students. This study used the Qualitative method and selected the EFL Lecturers and EFL Students of the English Study Program IAIN Fattahul Muluk Papua as participants and it took 9 participants. Data collection was by interview and online observation to answer the research questions. The data was analyzed using discourse analysis which consists of four stages; data recording, data transcription, data selection, and data interpretation. In the context of the use of the Thumbs-Up emoji in lecturer-students’ WhatsApp communication, EFL Lecturers in Papua were more dominant in using the Thumbs-Up emoji as Appreciation to EFL Students. Based on the data, the implication caused by using the Thumbs-Up emoji found two categories including feeling implication (anxious feeling and feeling rude) and situational implication (causing misunderstanding and changing the formality of conversation). Therefore, there needs a study that deepens knowledge on the use of another emojis that also often used in WhatsApp communication for Academic content.

Abstract

This research identified the use of illocutionary acts in Kenny Sebastian’s stand-up comedy performances on YouTube, focusing on their role in humor and audience engagement. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing three performances, identifying 198 illocutionary acts consisting of representatives (67), directives (54), commissives (11), expressives (49), and declarations (17). Data were categorized using Austin and Searle’s (1979) classification. The findings show that representatives, as the most frequent type, function to criticize, reflect, and describe situations humorously. Directives engage the audience by prompting responses, while expressives convey emotions such as amusement, sarcasm, or gratitude. Commissives contribute to comedic exaggeration through promises or refusals, and declarations create dramatic or authoritative comedic effects. These results highlight how illocutionary acts shape comedic narratives and enhance audience interaction. Future research could explore how different comedy styles or cultural contexts affect the use of speech acts in stand-up comedy.

Abstract

Experiencing trauma after a distressing event can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To protect themselves from fear and anxiety, individuals often employ defense mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to identify PTSD and defense mechanisms in the main character, Allison, in the movie A Good Person, directed by Zach Braff. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method and is based on Rasna Kaur Neelam’s theory, which is rooted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Additionally, Sigmund Freud’s theory of defense mechanisms is referenced in this research. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The PTSD type exhibited by the main character is comorbid. There are three symptoms: flashbacks, depression, and oxycodone addiction. (2) The predominant defense mechanism in the movie is denial. (3) Through a perspective analysis, it is evident that Allison's behavior is influenced by her id and ego, with an absence of the superego. This lack of the superego significantly impacts her moral judgment and self-criticism, indicating the influence of her PTSD on her psyche.

Abstract

This article explores how Rick Riordan applies the literary concept of pastiche and defamiliarization in his novel The Sword of Summer (2015). The study focuses on how elements of Norse mythology are blended with contemporary settings and characters to create a fresh and unfamiliar reading experience. Guided by Viktor Shklovsky’s theory of defamiliarization and Fredric Jameson’s idea of pastiche, the analysis reveals that the protagonist Magnus Chase and supporting character Samirah Al-Abbas are constructed through a fusion of ancient myth and modern identity. The appearance of mythological symbols such as the sword Sumarbrander, the fire giant Surt, and the reinterpretation of Valhalla as a high-tech hotel also represent a deliberate artistic choice that renews readers’ perceptions of traditional myth. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study concludes that Riordan’s work challenges conventional depictions of heroes and mythology by encouraging readers to see both ancient narratives and present-day realities in unfamiliar ways. This blend of nostalgia and innovation not only attracts contemporary readers but also delivers a unique aesthetic experience through literary defamiliarization (Jameson, 1992; Shklovsky, 2015).
