Abstract

This study investigates the types and functions of sarcasm in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, a talk show that blends humor and political commentary. Sarcasm is a rhetorical strategy often used to express irony, ridicule, and criticism, allowing speakers to indirectly highlight contradictions while engaging audiences through humor. Despite its frequent use in media discourse, few studies have systematically analyzed sarcasm in international political talk shows. Therefore, this research aims to examine the types and functions of sarcasm in John Oliver’s program.The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with an intralingual approach. Data were collected from five purposively selected episodes aired between May 2024 and May 2025. The episodes were transcribed, and sarcastic utterances were identified, coded, and classified using Camp’s (2011) theory of sarcasm types and Keraf’s (2008) framework of functions.The findings reveal 44 sarcastic utterances, dominated by propositional and illocutionary types, with comparison as the most frequent function. These results suggest that sarcasm in Last Week Tonight serves a dual role: entertaining viewers while functioning as a rhetorical device to criticize social and political issues.

Abstract

Satire is an expression or sentence used to indirectly mock someone or something. This study aims to find out the types of satirical expressions used in the 2024 West Sumatra Gubernatorial Debate. This is due to the fact that the opponents of the West Sumatra Gubernatorial Debate often used satirical expressions during the debate session. The satire utterances were classified based on the theory of Abrams and Harpham (2015), which divides satire into two types: direct (Horatian and Juvenalian) and indirect (Menippean). This study was qualitative descriptive and collected the data by using non-participant observation. The data were analyzed using the intralingual padan method, which involves form testing and context testing. The data were taken from the transcription of the 2024 West Sumatra Gubernatorial Debate. The debate for the election was held twice. This research found all types of satire in the 2024 West Sumatra Gubernatorial Debate. There are 47 data of satire which 17 categorized as Horatian, 25 categorized as Juvenalian, and 5 categorized as Menippean satire. These findings indicate that satire functioned not only as a rhetorical strategy but also as a form of verbal attack in the context of political campaigns and also to undermine opponents' capabilities.

Abstract Mental disorders are common in modern times. It can be seen in the novel Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. It describes that the main character has a psychological problem. As a result of her failed expectations about her mother's figure, she experienced early trauma and disappointment, which culminated in mental changes that led to Borderline Personality Disorder. Two problems are proposed in this research; how does the absence of maternal care trigger mental disorders and the impact of Borderline Personality Disorder suffered by BellaSwan. This research uses the theory of Object Relations by Otto F. Kernberg. Two of Kernberg’s concepts are considered appropriate to be utilized: mother-daughter relationships and the concept of Borderline Personality Disorder. Those concepts help this research to describehow the absence of maternal care trigger mental disorder and the kind of Borderline Personality Disorder suffered by Bella Swan. The result of this research shows two main points. First, the absence of maternal care is the cause of the failure of character-forming and it led to Borderline Personality Disorder. Second, the impact is shown through her being unconfident and split up from the social.
