Abstract

The research aims to show the types of conversational implicatures between the main characters in the movie Bird Box and to show the contextual meanings of conversational implicatures between the main characters in the movie Bird Box. To determine the generalized and particularized conversational implicature, the researchers employ a qualitative approach to data analysis. Watching the film for many times and recording any utterances that contain the sort of conversational implicature in a data form is how the research's data are gathered. According to the research findings, conversational implicature is present in 15 utterances. Seven of the fifteen data included generalized conversational implicature, and eight of the fifteen contained particularized conversational implicature. Malorie has four particularized conversational implicature data and seven generalized conversational implicature data. On the other hand, Tom and Jessica have two examples of particularized conversational implicature. The contextual meaning of conversational implicature amongst the main characters is also discovered by the researchers, who discover that while Jessica and Tom frequently speak explicitly in the context, Malorie tends to speak out of it

The findings demonstrate how the movie depicts unfairness, favouritism, jealousy, and power disparity among female characters in a patriarchal household. The motion picture. The film also emphasises the female characters' strong and defiant moments, highlighting the intricate relationship between feminist views and conventional values. The analysis comes to the conclusion that although the film perpetuates certain gender stereotypes, its narrative decisions also offer chances for feminist discourse

Abstract

Language is employed in building human interaction, especially in class-stratified situations. Language is examined as a form of class manipulation through speech style and politeness strategy in Parasite (2019). Theory can categorize speech and politeness, but their employment tactically is likely to differ in real-life situations as well as in narrative. The way people speak in different social settings has long been a focus in areas like pragmatics and sociolinguistics, and Parasite offers a rich example of how language reflects deeper social structures. Drawing on Martin Joos’s speech style theory and Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, the results recognize that the Kim family employs a formal and consultative style to claim social legitimacy and that intimate speech achieves emotional bonding. They also employ positive politeness for rapport-building, negative politeness for expressing deference, and bald-on-record or off-record strategies to achieve control and hide agendas. In general, the study reaffirms that language in Parasite is a tactical instrument of class mobility, manipulation, and social scheming

Abstract

This study looks at how gender inequality and power imbalances in romantic relationships are shown in Taylor Swift's songs "Dear John" and "All Too Well." This research uses two theories, Raewyn Connell's Theory of Hegemonic Masculinity and Sylvia Walby's Theory of Patriarchy, to analyze the lyrics of these songs. The findings show how traditional ideas of masculinity, like emotional detachment and control, can lead to unfair relationships. The analysis also shows how patriarchy works, including emotional manipulation, male violence (both emotional and psychological), and the cultural acceptance of male dominance. These ideas are shown in the songs' narratives. The conclusion shows how Swift's lyrics strongly comment on the common issues of gender inequality and power imbalance in personal relationships. They challenge traditional ideas of male power and express the experience of women in these situations

Abstract

Imagination plays a crucial role in childhood development, often represented through imaginary friends as emotional and cognitive companions. The movie IF (2024) presents a unique narrative that visualizes children’s imaginary friends and their deeper meanings. This research aims to analyze the characterization of imaginary friends. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research applies Albertine Minderop’s fictional characterization theory to examine how each imaginary friend is portrayed through name and dialogue. Data is collected through observation of the movie's scenes, character interactions, and dialogues. The findings reveal that imaginary friends are not merely fictional entities but serve as emotional representation of unspoken feelings such as grief, loneliness, and inner strength. This research concludes that IF (2024) offers a profound representation of how imaginary friends can accompany a child's psychological journey, bridging creativity, emotional growth, and the struggle of letting go.

Abstract

The research aims to identify Orion Pax’s journey to regain liberation from constricted environments that undervalued him as a miner and undermined him as lower class. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research identified 10 of the 12 phases of Orion Pax's transformation as a step towards his final transformation into Optimus Prime. The findings reveal that Orion oppressive environment undervalues him as a defective bot with no cog to urge him to yearn for a new life. Along the journey, he learns of Sentinel Prime's crimes, which motivate him to fight for his freedom, only to be betrayed by D-16, resulting in his untimely death. His resurrection as Optimus Prime restored the balance to Cybertron and abolished the rigid structure of Cybertron society. Ensuring freedom to the miner class of Cybertron with a new vision of equality. This study argues that Vogler’s Hero’s Journey is not bound to the traditional self-discovery structure but instead can be applied to a non- human character in oppressive settings, providing new perspectives on class struggle, labour exploitation and freedom. The study contributes to the enrichment of the narrative and literary fields in Hero’s journey transformation in the Transformer Universe field.

Abstract

This research discusses the psychological condition experienced by Kim Ji Young and how her husband's role in supporting her mental recovery process. This research uses three theories, namely Cognitive Theory by Aaron T. Beck, Emotional Support Theory by Shelley E. Taylor, and Theory of Personal Growth by Abraham Maslow. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach, by analyzing several important scenes in the film Kim Ji Young: Born 1982. The results show that Kim experiences great inner pressure because she must carry out many roles at once as a mother, wife, and daughter-in-law, but does not get enough emotional support. This makes Kim feel depressed, confused, and sometimes even feel that she cannot control herself or does not recognize what she is doing. In addition, Kim also often blames herself and imagines bad things that are not necessarily happening. On the other hand, her husband tries to be a good listener, give her space, and keep learning to be better. Although not perfect, he seems to have the intention and effort to grow with Kim. This research shows that in domestic relationships, a sense of security and emotional support is very important so that each of us can develop and be mentally healthy.
