Abstract

This study undertook a pragmatic analysis of the 2019 Nigerian Presidential Election-Related Newspaper Cartoons to establish the central issues, their contextual underpinning, the engendering pragmatic acts and strategies and their implication to media, society and politics. It was designed to address the knowledge gap created by extant studies which evaded the appraisal of this slant of political discourse that would provide a better understanding of the political cartoons. To address this issue, the paper adopted the Pragmatic acts theory and the theory of social semiotics to account for the ensuing issues and their semiotic significance. The descriptive research design was adopted with a purposive sampling technique to allow for a qualitative analysis of the data selected for the study. Twenty-five cartoons were purposively selected for this paper. The selection was premised on the critical issues that tainted the general elections of 2019. These were subjected to pragma-semiotic analysis. Three discourse issues were identified – partisan contest, electoral fraud, and corruption. These were constrained by six contexts, which are the contexts of rivalry, game, defeat, victory, corruption, and war with the pragmatic acts of satirizing, warning, and sensitizing, strategically crystalized through the strategies of negative lexicalization of opposition, satirisation of politicians’ identity, and invocation of actor’s precedence. It, therefore, concludes on the note that it takes more than a literal sense to understand the construction of political cartoons of criticism and thus needs conscious efforts to unravel the issues and pragma-semiotic means of decoding them. The study hence recommends that political cartoon studies should be initiated and their proliferation should be censored due to their sensitive construction of reality and its implication for media, politics and society.

Abstract

The study is intended to stylistically analyze a sample of three American military creeds. The study hypothesizes that American military creeds have their own stylistic properties which make them distinct texts, and that the stylistic devices employed in military creeds vary in terms of their frequencies and functions. The study also hypothesizes that military creeds are situationally based, and that the employed stylistic devices have a complementary role. They all contribute together to fulfill the creeds’ aims and convey their intended messages. To achieve the aims of the study, and verify its hypotheses, two types of procedure are followed: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part consists of presenting a theoretical framework of style and stylistics including their historical background, types, approaches, models of analysis, etc. Another theoretical framework is also presented about military discourse and creeds including their historical background, terminology, features, etc. On the other hand, the practical part consists of selecting a sample of three military creeds and analyzing them in the light of Crystal and Davy’s (1969) model which accounts for situational elements. The adopted model consists of five dimensions: individuality, discourse, status, modality, and singularity. The results of analysis show that military creeds have their own distinctive stylistic features. The results also show that the stylistic devices characterizing military creeds have a complementary role in that they all contribute together to achieve the creeds’ aims and convey their intended messages.

Abstract

In general, students need to be able to interact and communicate with one another from all walks of life, whether they are in personal or professional settings. Therefore, it is essential to examine students’ communication skills to ascertain whether they have adequate competence or not. In this regard, this research endeavored to determine the contextual communication competence of 266 Bachelor of Arts in Communication (BA Comm) students in one prime state university in Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Through a quantitative-descriptive research design, one result revealed that BA Comm students are able to use their understanding of successful and appropriate communication patterns in public, meeting, group, and dyad situations with an average level of contextual communication competence. On the same level, BA Comm majors are committed to the field because they have the necessary communication abilities to adapt and improve various communication tactics when conversing with friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Lastly, compared to female BA Comm students, male students are more self-assured and open to communicating in various communication contexts, such as in public, meeting, group, or dyad contexts, as well as with strangers, friends, and acquaintances. Further, BA Comm students see a growth in their level of contextual communication competence as they move through their year levels because of their communication classes and social involvement. Recommendations are also included for future research directions.

Discourse analysis was utilized to further analyze the transcription of videos as the primary data. The findings reveal that the primary type of humor in Papuan MOP is witticism, and the character "Dodi" represents the effects of a lack of education and underdeveloped society in certain areas of the Papuan region. Furthermore, the use of the Papuan Melayu dialect, which emphasizes monosyllabic sounds, adds to the uniqueness of the humor portrayed in the series. The cross-cultural representation in the series also highlights the diverse ethnicities in Indonesia. The study concludes that Papuan MOP humor is closely linked to the social conditions of Papuan people, making it a valuable aspect of their cultural heritage.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning strategies played a significant role in EFL learners’ vocabulary acquisition. All language learners use their own chosen vocabulary learning strategies; however, appropriateness in selecting strategies can lead them to success. The objectives of the study were to explore the vocabulary learning strategies used by high-proficiency language learners of the Department of English at Jagannath University, Bangladesh, and to describe the reasons behind choosing these strategies. A mixed-methods approach was used. Thirteen high achiever undergraduate students of the Department of English, Jagannath University, Bangladesh, participated in this research. An adaptation of Schmitt’s (1997) questionnaire, learners’ scores, and interviews were used as instruments to collect data. The result showed that the Cognitive (Consolidation) Strategy Category no. 25: “I repeat the word to myself” was the high achievers’ most frequently used strategy. The next preferred strategies were Determination (Discovery) Strategies Category no. 4: “I guess the meaning from the context” and Category no. 5: “I use an English-Bangla dictionary.” The Memory (Condensation) Strategy Category no. 17: “I connect the word to a personal experience”, Cognitive (Condensation) Strategy Category no. 29: “I take notes about the new words”, and Determination (Discovery) Strategy Category no. 6: “I use an English dictionary” were in the third position. These strategies ensured their spontaneous learning and aided them in becoming autonomous learners. The findings of this study will contribute to learners, teachers, and researchers.
