Abstract

Reading comprehension instruction for Phase C students must aim beyond identifying explicit information to grasping implicit meaning and context. The Telaga Warna drama script contains rich character dialogues reflecting conflicts, emotional responses, and distinct traits, making it ideal for developing these skills. However, studies integrating speech acts and implicatures in this script for Phase C learning remain limited. This descriptive qualitative study analyzes speech acts and implicatures in Telaga Warna and their pedagogical implications. Character dialogues were examined through data condensation, coding, presentation, contextual analysis, and verification. Findings show the script features locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts, alongside pragmatic implicatures. Locutionary acts dominate, primarily conveying direct information, while perlocutionary acts are least frequent due to requiring deeper contextual interpretation. The implicatures demonstrate that understanding dialogues extends beyond literal meaning, requiring connections between utterances, situations, and interpersonal dynamics. Ultimately, Telaga Warna serves as an effective teaching material for Phase C reading comprehension, helping students extract explicit and implicit details, draw inferences, and interpret context-dependent meaning.

Abstract

Postcolonial literature provides a significant space for examining how diasporic subjects negotiate cultural identity across different social and cultural environments. Although previous studies of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Imitation have addressed displacement, resistance, cultural ambivalence, and linguistic negotiation, limited attention has been given to the processual relationship between mimicry and hybridity in Nkem’s identity transformation. This study examines the representation of mimicry and hybridity in Imitation and explains how these interconnected processes contribute to the negotiation of Nkem’s postcolonial identity. Employing a qualitative literary research design, the study applies textual analysis guided by Homi K. Bhabha’s concepts of mimicry, ambivalence, hybridity, and the Third Space. Data were collected through close reading and textual documentation and analyzed through indicator-based coding. Mimicry was identified through imitation or adaptation to dominant cultural practices; ambivalence through contradictory cultural responses and tensions between adaptation and cultural attachment; alienation through experiences of estrangement, displacement, dissatisfaction, or lack of belonging; and hybridity through the coexistence and negotiation of Nigerian and American cultural positions. The coded passages were subsequently interpreted within their narrative contexts to trace the relationships among cultural adaptation, ambivalence, alienation, hybridity, and identity transformation. The findings reveal that mimicry is manifested through Nkem’s adaptation to American material culture, social conventions, and expectations of femininity and marital life, while the resulting ambivalence and alienation expose the limitations of cultural accommodation. Hybridity emerges as Nkem increasingly negotiates Nigerian and American cultural positions through domestic practices, bodily transformation, and changing marital relations, enabling greater self-definition and agency. The study concludes that mimicry and hybridity are dynamically interconnected rather than separate or strictly sequential processes through which Nkem’s postcolonial identity remains fluid, relational, and continuously reconstructed.

Abstract

The origin of the name “Teluk Leok” in the Limbungan neighborhood is a crucial pillar of Malay cultural knowledge that is now threatened with extinction due to modernization and a lack of documentation. This study aims to document, analyze, and revitalize this narrative so that it remains relevant as the collective identity of the local community. The method used is qualitative, involving field documentation through the Telusur Kultur, which integrates observation, in-depth interviews with key informants such as Abdullah and Ujang S., and audiovisual documentation. Based on Abdullah’s account, the toponymy of Leok Bay is linked to the grounding and burning of the ship Akasia. This narrative also connects the name “Leok” to the figure of Captain Leo. The study’s conclusions affirm that the “Telusur Kultur” model is effective in preserving collective memory and transforming oral traditions into practical assets, both as educational materials and as a potential resource for storytelling tourism. The success of this preservation effort depends heavily on participatory collaboration among academics, the community, and the government.

Abstract

Employing Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis, this study examines how the East Javanese Arekan dialect linguistically demystifies spiritual fear in the horror-comedy film Sekawan Limo (2024). Prior sociolinguistic research has largely confined Javanese speech variation to reflections of feudal hierarchy, overlooking how regional dialects are deployed by youth to negotiate mysticism in the digital era. Existing studies on this specific film have likewise mapped its illocutionary speech acts and code-mixing patterns, but none has traced how its dialect performs the demystification of mystical hegemony across textual, industrial, and sociocultural dimensions at once. The objective of this study is to deconstruct how discursive friction between urban rationality and traditional mysticism is linguistically negotiated across the textual, discursive-practice, and social-practice dimensions of this framework. Using a qualitative descriptive design, dialogue fragments in the Arekan dialect were collected through structured observation and orthographic transcription, then analysed at all three levels of the framework. Findings show that the film's terrifying atmosphere is dismantled by the egalitarian, profane properties of Arekan, where wordplay and localized swearing (pisuhan) function as sociopragmatic catharsis. At the discursive-practice level, the film's oscillation between mythic-horror and profane-comedy registers textually instantiates an interdiscursive strategy, whose commercial reception is reflected in strong theatrical and streaming performance. Socioculturally, the film reflects an epistemological shift among urban Gen Z and Millennials, who reframe ancestral myths not as coercive dogma but as an intertextual space renegotiated through modern rationality and liberating laughter.
