Abstract

In the digital era, social media significantly shapes adolescent identity by creating hyperreal representations that blur the boundaries between reality and simulation. This study aims to analyze how social media simulacra are depicted in Al Rawabi School for Girls Season 2 and their impact on adolescents. Using a qualitative approach, six episodes were analyzed through Jean Baudrillard’s four stages of images: reflection of image, denatures of image, absence of image, and no relation of image. The results show that denatures of image stage is most dominant, revealing how digital image manipulation affects teenagers perception, behaviors, and social interactions. The hyperreality of social media contributes to bullying, suicide, identity distortion, and consumptive banality among teenagers. This study contributes to research on modern Arab media and culture by applying postmodern theories of simulacra and hyperreality to contemporary youth media, providing insight into how digital images and social validation shape teenagers' identity.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of errors and the factors causing derivative word formation errors in fourth-semester students of the English Literature Study Program at Bina Darma University. The scope of the study is limited to analyzing errors in the use of affixes (prefixes and suffixes) that change the word class or meaning of the base word, based on students' academic texts. The research method used a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling of 10 students. Data were obtained through a 300 word essay writing test, then analyzed using Surface Strategy Taxonomy (Dulay, Burt, & Krashen, 1982) which classifies errors into four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The results showed that misformation was the most dominant error (48%), followed by addition (24%), omission (20%), and misordering (8%). Causal factors include first language interference, overgeneralization of morphological rules, limited morphological knowledge, and minimal exposure to academic vocabulary. The main conclusion of this study is the need for explicit and structured teaching of derivational morphology in writing courses, accompanied by contextual exercises to improve the accuracy of students' use of derived word forms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the narrative structure of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” by identifying both its surface and deep structures through the lens of Algirdas Julien Greimas’s narrative semiotics. The analysis of the story’s narrative structure is crucial, as it significantly influences the comprehension of the overall meaning of the text. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing written data derived directly from the literary work. Data collection techniques include close reading, note-taking, and library research. The data were analyzed through several stages: identification, interpretation, analysis, and conclusion drawing. The structural analysis was conducted based on Greimas’s narrative semiotic framework, which encompasses the actantial structure, functional structure, main actant, surface structure and deep structure. The findings reveal that the short story’s structure is divided into four segments: the first segment presents the theme of “Nasik’s victory,” the second highlights “Nasik’s sincerity,” the third explores “the pact between Iblis and Nasik,” and the fourth emphasizes “self-interest.” Furthermore, the study identifies the main actant based on the actants found in these four segments: the principal sender is Nasik’s faith, while the main receiver as well as the subject is Nasik himself, who pursues the object of “upholding the truth.” In this pursuit, he is obstructed by the opposant, namely “Iblis,” and supported by the helpers, namely faith and an axe. Through the above structure, it can be concluded that the narrative of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” contains unique narrative elements and a structural pattern consistent with A.J. Greimas’s narrative semiotics.

Abstract

This study examines how “scientific” language in skincare product names constructs authority, efficacy claims, and consumer subject positions. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it analyzes two skincare products namely Skintific and Wardah. The analysis follows three dimensions: (1) text analysis which includes phrase analysis on lexical borrowing from science, quantification and statistical authority and hybridization of science and beauty rhetoric; (2) discursive practice which analyze how names are produced (brand style and platform constraints), distributed (packaging, e-commerce), and consumed (consumer readings of numbers and technical terms); and (3) social practice to reveal the ideology behind the text. Findings indicate systematic patterns on the scientific language is less about empirical precision and more about constructing trust and authority. The study contributes an operational scheme for identifying “scientific language” in naming, clarifies meaning-making mechanisms, and discusses implications for consumer literacy and marketing communication regulation..

Abstract

This study analyzes how the Zainichi Korean community is represented in Kogonada’s Pachinko through Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. Using a qualitative content analysis of eight episodes from Pachinko Season 1, this research examines the portrayal of Zainichi identity, survival strategies, and power relations within Japanese society. The findings reveal three major representations: (1) Zainichi identity shaped by Japan’s colonial legacy and intergenerational trauma, (2) survival strategies developed through family solidarity, perseverance, and selective assimilation, and (3) Japan’s continuing dominance that perpetuates social marginalization of the Zainichi. This study contributes to media and cultural studies by providing a critical perspective on how Pachinko reconstructs historical memory and challenges dominant narratives of Korean minorities in Japan.
