Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out the idiomatic expressions and semiotic cues shown in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019) Movie as final one to conclude all the movies on the Infinity Saga. This Saga consist of twenty-three movies started from Iron Man in 2008 until Avengers: Endgame in 2019. This research employs qualitative descriptive method while sociolinguistics and semiotic are used as the approaches. The movies’ scenes and dialogues are used as the primary data while scientific articles, books, and popular articles as secondary data. The data will be analyzed by reducing, displaying, and concluding them into the suitable categories and being explained. The researchers use McCarty and O’Dell’s theory of idioms and Peirce’s theory of signs for the data analysis. By doing this research, it is found that many kinds of idiomatic expressions like similes, binomials, proverbs, etc. can be found on the movies so that it will be easier for the readers to understand the usage of idiomatic expressions in any form of context. It is also hope that by identifying the messages signed by the symbols shown on the movies, the readers can be inspired and refer to societal reality. This research may contribute to a wider understanding and implementation of idiomatic expressions usage in any context and trigger readers critical thinking in identifying messages shown in signs or texts.

Abstract

This study examines the programmed emotional responses of David, the central humanoid robot in Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), with a focus on emotional connections design between artificial beings and humans. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, integrating film analysis and theories of human-AI interaction to explore the narrative and technological frameworks that shape David's emotional expressions. The findings indicate that while David's emotional programming successfully evokes empathy and connection, it also prompts critical discussions about the authenticity of artificial emotions and their implications for human relationships. This study contributes to the broader dialogue on the role of emotions in AI development and their potential societal impacts

Abstract

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) illustrates how popular cinema can act as a platform for philosophical exploration, especially viewed through the perspective of existentialism. Though the movie is well-known for its satirical examination of gender roles and consumer culture, it additionally offers a more profound storyline that explores themes of identity, mortality, and significance. The background of the study lies in the increasing acknowledgment of film as a cultural text capable of refelcting and challenging philosophical issues. The aim is to examine Barbie’s existential turmoil and Ken’s concurrent quest for independence through the lenses of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, and Viktor Frankl. Using a qualitative approach, the study utilizes detailed analysis of important scenes and theoretical triangulation to explore themes of freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and the quest for meaning. The findings reveal that Barbie's encounter with imperfection and mortality represents Heidegger's concept of being-toward-death, whereas her choice to accept humanity signifies Frankl's logotherapy. Ken's reinterpretation of masculinity reinforces Beauvoir's and Sartre's focus on identity shaped by one's own choices. In the end, the research finds that Barbie goes beyond mere entertainment, providing a relatable yet deep examination of existentialist concepts and showcasing the philosophical possibilities of popular film

Abstract

This study examines how Charli XCX constructs and performs persona and identity in her 2024 album Brat. In contemporary pop music, persona functions as a performative self that mediates between an artist’s private identity and public image. While previous studies have explored musical persona and identity in popular music, limited attention has been given to the analysis of a full hyperpop album that integrates lyrics, vocal delivery, and production as a cohesive character construction. Addressing this gap, this research aims to analyze (1) how persona and identity are constructed in Brat, (2) the recurring emotional and character traits that define Charli XCX’s performed self, and (3) how the album reflects her identity in relation to themes of fame, vulnerability, and digital culture. Using a qualitative method, the study applies textual and interpretive analysis to all fifteen tracks of Brat, treating the album as a cultural text. The findings reveal that Charli XCX presents a fluid and shifting persona that oscillates between confidence, rebellion, insecurity, and emotional fragility. These traits are reinforced through minimalist lyrics, varied vocal performances, and experimental electronic production. The study concludes that Brat functions as both a personal and performative work, demonstrating how contemporary pop albums serve as spaces for identity construction through sound, voice, and cultural expression

Abstract

This study analyses both the difficulties and achievements involved in translating Goenawan Mohamad’s modern lyric poetry, which is known for its philosophical richness, compact diction, and ambiguity. It focuses on sensory imagery as a key element in shaping readers’ experiences and evaluates how effective the translator, Laksmi Pamuntjak, maintains aesthetic equivalence—balancing poetic form and meaning—when rendering imagery in the target language. This study uses a Qualitative Descriptive Method with a Text-Based Comparative Study design, analyzing 80 units of imagery. The results of the study show that all seven types of sensory imagery (Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic, Gustatory, Olfactory, and Organic) appear in the translations, confirming the achievement of a complete sensory spectrum. The key findings are the strong dominance of Visual Imagery with 36 occurrences and Kinesthetic Imagery with 31 occurrences.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of affixation in narrative texts that highlight natural phenomena and the experiences of the speakers in them. Affixation is one of the morphological processes in Indonesian that plays an important role in word formation, word class changes, and the development of meaning in a discourse. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research data are in the form of linguistic units containing affixation processes found in the text, including prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and confixes. The data collection technique was carried out using the listening and note-taking method through careful reading of the analyzed text. The results of the study show that the analyzed text contains the use of prefixes, suffixes, and confixes, while infixes are not found. The dominant prefixes used include me-, di-, ber-, and ter- which function to form active verbs, passive verbs, and express states and events. Suffixes such as -an, -itas, and -nya play a role in forming concrete and abstract nouns, as well as providing emphasis on meaning in sentences. In addition, the confixes me-kan, me-i, and ke--an are used to form causative meanings, processes, and certain states or situations. The absence of infixes indicates that the text makes greater use of productive and commonly used affixation forms in modern Indonesian.

Abstract

This research examines the language styles used by the main characters, Hardin Scott and Tessa Young, in the movie After We Collided through a sociolinguistic approach. The study applies Martin Joos’ theory of five language styles: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate, and Janet Holmes’ four social factors: participant, topic, setting, and function that influence language choice. The objectives are to identify the types of language styles, analyze the influencing factors, and determine the most dominant style. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher collected dialogue data from the movie, categorized each utterance by language style, identified the social factors affecting it, and calculated the frequency of use. The results reveal four language styles: casual (25 data), consultative (15 data), intimate (8 data), and formal (1 data), while frozen style was not found. Casual style is the most dominant, as most conversations occur in relaxed, emotional, and spontaneous situations. The most influential factors are topic and function (7 data each), followed by setting (5 data) and participant (3 data). These findings confirm that emotional dynamics and communicative purposes strongly shape language style, enhancing the authenticity of the dialogue and effectively portraying the evolving relationship between the main characters.

Abstract

This study provides a multi-theoretical discourse analysis of the 1994 film Heart of a Child, focusing on how language mediates institutional power, emotional vulnerability, and ethical decision-making in medical contexts. Drawing on Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of heteroglossia, Deborah Tannen’s distinction between “report-talk” and “rapport-talk,” John Gottman’s research on relational communication, and J.L. Austin and John Searle’s Speech Act Theory, this analysis demonstrates how clinical discourse functions as a centralizing force while parents’ emotional language provides a decentralized counter-discourse. The findings reveal that medical authority is actively performed and contested through linguistic choices, not merely asserted. The study emphasizes the historical tension between medical paternalism and the emerging emphasis on patient autonomy, particularly in relation to anencephalic organ donation. This paper contributes to the understanding of contemporary healthcare communication and bioethics by emphasizing the performative nature of medical decision-making

Abstract

This study examines the use of metaphorical language in the song ‘Rearrange My World’ by Daniel Caesar and Rex Orange County using two analytical approaches: Conceptual Metaphor Theory proposed by (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) and Goatly’s rhetorical classification of metaphor (1997). The study aims to identify metaphorical expressions in the song and examine their general meanings as well as differences in interpretation across the two frameworks. The findings reveal eight metaphorical expressions, which are classified into structural and ontological metaphors under Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Based on Goatly’s classification, the same expressions are categorised as active, inactive, subjective, asymmetric, and dead metaphors. The analysis shows that the metaphors in the song represent emotional experiences by mapping abstract concepts onto concrete domains such as movement, objects, and space. By applying both frameworks, the study demonstrates that metaphor functions not only as a cognitive mechanism for structuring abstract experience but also as a rhetorical device that shapes emotional expression in song lyrics. Overall, the findings confirm that metaphor plays a central role in meaning-making in contemporary popular music

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between students' proficiency with vocabulary and their capacity to speak, as well as to gather evidence that this association is substantial. This research methodology is a kind of non-experimental research that employs quantitative techniques with a correlational model. The study was carried out on students in class VIII at SMPN 1 Kroya. Out of the 305 students in class VIII, a sample of 62 students or two classes were chosen; consequently, a cluster random sampling technique was utilized in the chosen classes. Tests of learning outcomes, documentation, English comprehension skills, and research instruments were used to gather research data throughout learning activities. A correlation test utilizing Pearson Product Moment Correlation is performed once all the analysis findings are normally distributed. The study's findings indicate a relationship between class VIII at SMPN 1 Kroya's speaking abilities and vocabulary mastery. The lowest scores for students' vocabulary mastery and speaking ability exams were 24 and 25 points. A correlation coefficient value of 0.969 was derived using the SPSS 23 program's computations. This indicates a strong correlation between the two variables, with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted if the significance test result is Sig < 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is then accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, indicating that there is a connection between students' speaking proficiency at SMPN 1 Kroya and their vocabulary competence.
