<![CDATA[This study examines the rhetorical strategies embedded in Henry VIII’s letters to Anne Boleyn as portrayed in the television series The Tudors. Drawing on Ballif’s seduction theory, which posits that persuasion intertwines rationality and emotional manipulation, the analysis identifies three key linguistic elements: affective, pompous, and ridiculous language. Using qualitative textual analysis paired with Spradley’s ethnographic coding techniques, the study investigates how Henry’s discourse oscillates between expressions of romantic devotion, performative grandiosity, and strategic dominance. The findings reveal that Henry’s letters employ emotional appeals, hyperbolic flattery, and rhetorical flourishes to simultaneously assert authority and court Anne’s favor. In contrast, Anne’s responses reflect caution and tactical modesty, underscoring her navigation of gendered power dynamics. The results demonstrate that seductive language in these exchanges blurs the boundaries between sincerity and manipulation, aligning with Ballif’s argument that rhetoric operates beyond binary distinctions of truth or falsehood. This study highlights the dual function of seduction as both an intimate gesture and a political instrument, offering fresh insights into the interplay of love, power, and persuasion in historical dramatizations.]]>

<![CDATA[In the digital era, fake news has become a powerful tool to influence public opinion, spread fear, and manipulate people's behavior. Language plays a significant role in this phenomenon, not only as a means of communication, but also as a tool of persuasion and misdirection. This article examines the linguistic strategies commonly used in the creation and spread of viral hoaxes, using a discourse analysis approach and framing theory. The focus lies on the use of emotional language, manipulative diction, hyperbole, metaphors, as well as narratives designed to establish false credibility and trigger strong emotional reactions. The article also discusses the constructive collaboration between language and visual elements such as images, memes and symbols that reinforce misleading narratives on social media. Data sources consist of 3-5 hoax news stories that have been clarified by fact-checking sites such as TurnBackHoax.id. Data collection was done through documentation techniques by downloading the hoax text and supporting information. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through content analysis and comparison between the hoax text and its clarification. The findings of this article emphasize the importance of critical awareness of language and media literacy in dealing with disinformation, as well as the need for an interdisciplinary approach involving linguistics, communication, and digital media studies.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the application of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in spoken discourse by analyzing Rosé’s utterances during her interview on the i-D YouTube channel. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research identifies how the four conversational maxims—quantity, quality, relation, and manner—are manifested in her responses. The data are obtained through non-participatory observation and note-taking and analyzed using a pragmatic identity method. A total of 22 utterances were identified, with the maxims of quantity and relation (36.36%) being the most frequently observed. The findings show that Rosé’s responses largely adhered to the principles of quantity and relevance, reflecting a cooperative communication style. These findings highlight a growing trend in pragmatic research: the context-dependent application of Grice’s maxims in public discourse. Despite these developments, there remains a notable gap in research focusing specifically on K-pop artist interviews within digital platforms such as YouTube. Considering this, the present study contributes to a broader understanding of cooperative communication in media discourse and offers insights into the continued applicability of Gricean theory in analyzing contemporary public interactions.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to critically examine Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim through the lens of Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, focusing on how the novel represents the East as subordinate to Western ideological and moral authority. Employing a qualitative literary analysis, this research explores narrative structure, characterization, and setting to reveal how the novel systematically marginalizes Eastern voices and constructs the East as a passive backdrop for the psychological and moral journey of the Western protagonist, Jim. Key findings show that the Indigenous characters in Patusan are denied subjectivity and interiority, their perspectives filtered entirely through the Western narrator, Marlow. The narrative elevates Jim to a position of moral superiority and leadership, reinforcing colonial myths of the “white savior” and the supposed dependency of Eastern societies on Western governance. The absence of Eastern perspectives in the novel underscores the epistemological dominance of the West, making Lord Jim not a true intercultural dialogue, but a monologue that serves Western self-definition. The study concludes that Conrad’s novel, despite its literary complexity, perpetuates Orientalist discourse by silencing the East and reinforcing hierarchical binaries between the West and the non-West. Future research is encouraged to compare such colonial narratives with postcolonial works that reclaim indigenous voices.]]>

<![CDATA[The ability to write essays is fundamental in academia, as it helps students articulate their thoughts, construct arguments, and apply critical thinking skills. Nevertheless, numerous second-semester students encounter challenges in mastering this skill, which can negatively affect their academic development. This research aims to examine the specific obstacles and contributing factors experienced by second-year students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. Drawing on the frameworks proposed by Nenotek et al. (2022) and Alfaki (2015), this research adopts a qualitative approach. Sixteen participants were selected using homogeneous sampling, and data were gathered through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that students faced multiple difficulties in essay writing, particularly in the areas of content, organization, discourse, and mechanics. These difficulties stemmed from various sources, including the complexity of the writing process, low student motivation, inadequate time allocation, infrequent writing practice, and delayed instructor feedback. The findings suggest that such difficulties significantly influence students’ overall academic performance.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes code mixing patterns and functions in the first episode of the 2024 series Private Bodyguard. Code mixing, a notable sociolinguistic phenomenon, involves speakers switching between languages in conversation. The research aims to understand language dynamics in a broader social context and the role of code mixing in contemporary media. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected from dialogues in the series via the Viu streaming platform. The study categorizes code mixing based on Muysken's typology: insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. The analysis found eighteen instances of code mixing. Insertion was the most common type (8 examples), reflecting English's influence on young Indonesians exposed to global culture. Alternation occurred seven times, proving comfortable bilingual switching to emphasize or express emotions. Congruent lexicalization (3 examples) showed seamless integration of words with similar grammatical structures. This study highlights the dynamic interaction between language, culture, and society in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to analyze the journey of the main character, Scarlett, in Caraval by Stephanie Garber using Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey theory. It focuses on identifying the stages present in the novel and how they contribute to Scarlett’s character development. This research applies to Joseph Campbell’s (2020) Hero’s Journey theory. The primary data source is Caraval, a fantasy novel by Stephanie Garber. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, as defined by Litosseliti (2010) and Bogdan & Biklen (2007), which focuses on analyzing textual data in depth. The data collection follows Bowen (2009) library research approach and uses Leavy (2017) highlighting technique to categorize relevant text. The analysis applies Campbell (2020) Hero’s Journey framework and follows (Ratna, 2020) descriptive interpretation method to interpret the narrative structure and character development. The findings show that thirteen out of the seventeen stages of the Hero’s Journey are reflected in Scarlett’s journey, while four stages do not appear in the story. These results indicate that Caraval partially follows the traditional Hero’s Journey structure and demonstrates how this narrative pattern can be adapted in modern fantasy literature with a female character.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the use of figurative language in three songs from Taylor Swift’s Evermore album: “Willow,” “Champagne Problems,” and “Gold Rush.” Figurative language is a crucial element in song lyrics, enabling artists to express emotions and abstract ideas creatively. The study applies Perrine’s theory, which classifies figurative language into five types: simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and irony. The data are taken from the official lyrics of the selected songs, supported by repeated listening to capture emotional and contextual nuances. A qualitative descriptive method is used to identify and analyze instances of figurative language. The analysis focuses on how these figures of speech function in expressing emotional depth, storytelling, and thematic complexity. The findings reveal that metaphor and personification are the most dominant types, indicating Taylor Swift’s tendency to convey feelings through implicit comparison and human-like expressions. The study highlights the artistic and literary value of popular song lyrics, affirming that they can be treated as modern poetic texts worthy of academic analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the struggles of Maleficent’s character in Robert Stromberg’s Maleficent (2014) to assert her existence as both a woman and a guardian of nature. It uses Karen J. Warren’s ecofeminist theory, which explains how patriarchal domination connects the oppression of women and the exploitation of nature. The film Maleficent (2014) serves as the primary data source. This study applies a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through close observation of the film’s narrative, dialogue, and character development. The analysis was conducted using a contextual approach, guided by Klarer’s literary theory and Warren’s ecofeminist framework, particularly focusing on the concepts of the logic of domination, sexism, and naturism. The findings reveal that Maleficent’s resistance through the creation of protective boundaries, leadership of the Moors, and reclamation of her agency mirrors the broader resilience of women and nature under patriarchal systems. The study concludes that the film presents an alternative narrative where healing, protection, and empowerment appear through feminine strength and ecofeminist values.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the concept of toxic masculinity as portrayed in The Boys graphic novel, focusing on the character Homelander. Toxic masculinity refers to harmful behaviors and attitudes—such as dominance, violence, and misogyny—that stem from traditional expectations of masculinity. Using theoretical frameworks by Kupers and Connell, the research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing all seventy-two issues of The Boys. Data were collected through close reading of the graphic novel, review of existing literature, and examination of dialogue that reflects toxic masculinity. The study addresses two research questions: (1) How is toxic masculinity represented through Homelander’s character? and (2) How does toxic masculinity manifest in gender relations within the story? The findings reveal that Homelander embodies three key aspects of toxic masculinity: misogyny, violence, and dominance. These traits are supported by twenty-two textual examples from the graphic novel. Regarding gender relations, the study identifies three patterns shaped by toxic masculinity: power relations, production relations (control over roles and resources), and cathexis (emotional or sexual attachments influenced by dominance). These are illustrated by seven examples from the text. In conclusion, The Boys uses Homelander to vividly depict toxic masculinity and its harmful impact on gender dynamics. The graphic novel thus serves as a critical commentary on destructive masculine norms in contemporary society.]]>
