Abstract

The current paper attempted to convey the complex selves of the well-known war poets Rupert Brook and Randall Jarrell during and after World Wars I and II. Randall Jarrell was able to express the bitter reality of the war because he participated in the World War II. He witnessed the horror and the destruction which included the deaths of his fellow soldiers, as a result he wrote poems that was brutal and full of ferocious imagery. In his poems, Jarrell presents the horrors of war focusing on the idea of death in it. According to Rupert Brooke, going to war is a noble endeavor and a chance to demonstrate one's patriotism and strength of character. With the outbreak of the World War I Brook was deeply patriotic encouraging the young men to join in what he considered to be a noble fight. Thus he focused on the idea of death and patriotism. The soldiers that Brooke depicts are patriotic to their country; they are ready to sacrifice their life in order to defend their homelands.

Abstract

This study explores the realization of speech acts of (criticism, sarcasm, praise and so on) associated with Twitter or what is recently called (X) comments on the 2025 Arab summit in Iraq. This qualitative and descriptive study is drawing on synthesized framework of (Searle 1969 and Jucker 2024) speech act theory and draws its data from comments on Twitter. The comments were analyzed qualitatively to recognize not just their linguistic patterns and pragmatic meanings only, but also understanding their function in social media context enriched with stance-taking and multimodal cues (e.g., hashtags, emojis), taking into account cultural norms, social relationships and situational factors to reveal how individuals attribute actions. The findings reveal significant concerns about how Arabic people tend to combine the prevalence of assertive, religious expressions, directives imperatives, modals, performative verbs, rhetorical questions, emojis, and punctuation to convey socio-pragmatic intentions and assert their positions in public discussions. The study also highlights that speech acts surrounding the Arab Summit in Iraq reveal a complex interplay of pride, criticism, and persuasion in public social media discourse. Although certain comments rely on respectful language and expressions of collective identity, but critical voices often resort to irony, metaphor, and indirect challenges to dominant narratives. This diversity highlights not only how linguistic etiquette is negotiated in public settings, but also how socio-pragmatic norms, cultural values, and political ideologies shape the commenters ’opinions.

Abstract

Academic reading is an essential competency for EFL learners, especially for those preparing for the IELTS examination, although it continues to create significant challenges. This study examines the issues encountered by Indonesian IELTS candidates in the reading section and analyzes the tactics they utilize to overcome these obstacles. A mixed-method approach was employed to collect data via questionnaires and open-ended responses from 24 participants in an IELTS preparation program in Ternate City. Quantitative data were evaluated using SPSS, and qualitative data were thematically interpreted to enhance the findings. Findings indicate that restricted vocabulary, time limitations, and comprehension challenges are the primary barriers faced by examinees. Participants indicated adopting multiple strategies to tackle these challenges, with skimming, scanning, highlighting important information, and employing contextual hints being the most commonly adopted techniques. The results highlight the significance of strategic instruction and vocabulary enhancement in preparing students for IELTS reading assessments. This study indicates that focused instruction and regular practice can improve learners' reading efficiency and performance in high-stakes language assessments.

Abstract

One way to increase learners’ skills and the language’s elements is through the word formation process, especially conversion. This study aimed to investigate types of word conversion in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), and the implications of word conversion for the EFL context. This study was a descriptive qualitative study, and the researcher used morphological analysis in analyzing the data. In gathering the data, the researcher accessed the website of the Oxford English Dictionary and tried to search the word conversion between Noun-Verb, Verb-Noun, and adjective-verb. The result of the study showed that 227 words were included in word conversion. Those words consisted of 104 noun-verb conversions, 12 noun adjectives, 55 adjective-nouns, and 56 verb-nouns. Furthermore, as demonstrated by previous studies, word conversion can improve learners’ skills, especially in reading, writing, and speaking. It is also crucial in learning the elements of language, such as grammar and vocabulary.

Abstract

"First love" is often understood as the earliest relationship, but evidence from psycholinguistics, interpersonal communication, and autobiographical memory suggests that it is more accurately viewed as a narrative-cognitive status. This brief article introduces a minimal measurement framework for assessing this status through three indicators: the WE Index (the proportion of "we/us" pronouns relative to personal pronouns plus love labels/metaphors), Perceived Responsiveness, and Age-Event Compatibility as a proxy for cultural scripts. Relying on a structured narrative review of >100 studies, we map a process model of WE → Responsiveness → Event Centrality → First Love Labeling, with emotional intensity and age–event fit as drivers/moderators. The synthesis reveals consistent patterns: Higher WE indices correlate with higher responsiveness; responsiveness supports shared reminiscing and increases centrality; centrality predicts “first love” labeling, particularly when age-event expectations are met. The researchers present a quick operationalization (5-10 minute speech sample, 3-6 item responsiveness scale, 1-2 item fit check, and brief centrality measure) that is ready for replication. Conclusion: this framework summarizes complex literature into a clear, measurable, and testable starter kit, while providing practical contributions to relational assessment and education.

Abstract

This study investigates the realization of adaptive politeness and hierarchical negotiation in the speech of Bugis and Konjo speakers in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. While politeness in Indonesian regional languages has often been described through hierarchical norms, this study demonstrates that politeness is better understood as an adaptive and relational process. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a sociopragmatic approach, natural conversations were collected from Bone and Bulukumba in 2023 through observation, recording, and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Culpeper (2021) pragmatic framework and Locher & Larina (2019) relational pragmatics model to identify linguistic markers of respect, empathy, and social harmony. The findings reveal that Bugis speakers maintain structured hierarchy through indirect and respectful forms that reflect the moral principle of siri’ na pacce, while Konjo speakers demonstrate greater flexibility through humor, familiarity, and contextual adaptation. Both groups exhibit adaptive politeness, balancing hierarchical awareness with social solidarity in everyday communication. These findings indicate that politeness in South Sulawesi is not a fixed linguistic system but a dynamic moral and pragmatic practice. The study contributes to the broader understanding of Southeast Asian pragmatics by showing how moral values and cultural identities are linguistically enacted in multilingual societies.

Abstract

Writing is a complicated psycholinguistic task that changes thoughts inside your head into ordered words. In EFL situations, this process necessitates meticulous coordination of cognitive and linguistic resources, frequently resulting in challenges in lexical retrieval, grammatical encoding, and idea development. This study examines the cognitive processing of language by students when they create imaginative texts inspired by visual stimuli. The study, based on Levelt’s (1999) Model of Language Production, examines the processes of conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self-monitoring in students’ writing. Thirty-five English Literature students from class B 2022 at Universitas Negeri Makassar took part in the creative writing exercise. Five students with the fewest errors and five students with the most errors were chosen for in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results show that students who do well have better conceptual planning and self-monitoring skills, while those who do poorly have trouble with formulation, especially with choosing words and structuring sentences. The study underscores the significance of psycholinguistic awareness in enhancing EFL creative writing training, focusing on tactics that bolster cognitive control and linguistic accuracy.
