Abstract

The relationship between the United States and Iran has long been marked by tensions, particularly over nuclear issues, economic sanctions, and regional conflicts. Under the Trump administration, these tensions escalated further, especially after the U.S. withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. Trump's rhetoric on social media reflected his administration’s hardline stance toward Iran, making it a critical subject of linguistic analysis. The study aimed to investigate the semantic preference and semantic prosody of the collocation of Iran in Trump’s social media. This research focuses on a corpus-based study of Trump’s social media posts, compiled exclusively from those made during his presidency, from January 2017 to January 2021. The corpus dataset of @realdonaldtrump was taken from the trumptweetarchiever.com site, official Facebook and Instagram accounts from January 2017 to January 2021, which were collected in the form of a text compilation with the date containing all tweets and posts related to the country of Iran, then what are the lexicogrammatical elements that accompany it, as well as semantic categories involved in the collocation of these words. Considering the results of the MI (mutual information) score, the single keyword Iran in Trump's social media corpus tends to be associated with collocations related to the issue of economic sanctions, namely the nuclear deal. The results indicated that the keyword Iran carries a predominantly negative semantic preference, although not all keywords associated with Iran hold a positive meaning upon evaluating the concordance. The study concluded that Trump tends to portray the word Iran in a negative light.

Abstract

Mimicry generally entails the colonized emulating the culture of the colonizer. In The Revenant (2015), the notion of mimicry is inverted, with the colonizer emulating the colonized. While prior research indicated that reverse imitation serves as a subtle method for colonizers to exert their dominance, the analyzed film demonstrated the contrary. This study employs a textual film analysis to scrutinize the film's visual composition, character representation, and symbolic imagery through Homi K. Bhabha's concepts of mimicry and ambivalence. It concludes that Glass's imitation of Native American survival practices, including the consumption of raw flesh and the use of natural remedies, symbolizes his negotiation between colonial identity and reliance on the culture of the colonized. This study underscores how reverse mimicry complicates colonial hierarchies and identity formation within postcolonial film studies.

Abstract

Reader or user interaction is one of the main attractions of Cyber Literature. Cyber literature allows its readers to be involved in shaping the story or altering the plot within a narrative. This is made possible by the development of Hypertext technology in cyber literary works. Hypertext enables user and reader involvement within the text of a literary work. This study uses the theory of hypertext and the cyborg author by Espen J. Aarseth. The theory is used to understand how users and readers operate within cyber texts and to comprehend the function of hypertext in cyber literature. The work The Water Seller (Mai Ruwa) (2023) by Faith Bassey and Deena Larsen serves as the material object of this research. The study finds that the use of hypertext in The Water Seller (Mai Ruwa) appears merely as an attachment and does not provide an active interactive experience for the reader (user). As a result, the interaction of the cyborg author with the work is limited, resembling the interpretation of conventional literary texts.

Abstract

This research re-examines or re-analyses the paradox in the novel Wuthering Heights, but focuses on the paradox contained in the identity of the characters based on the narrator's narration. The paradox is created by the contradiction of the place where the characters live, namely nature and culture, then heredity and environment. This research discusses how these contradictions can create and become a factor in the formation of paradox in the character's identity. This research also discusses what paradoxes are found in the character's identity which is an important element in the story of Wuthering Heights. The theory used in this research is Deconstruction proposed by Jacques Derrida as the main foundation in analyzing the object. The research design used in this research is literary criticism. The approach used is an objective approach, where the focus of analysis is entirely on the object of study. The primary data source of this research is the novel Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë and secondary data obtained from other sources such as relevant journals, books, and media articles. This research shows that the opposition of nature and culture, then heredity and environment, has no dominant side. However, these oppositions influence each other and create complexity, thus creating various paradoxes in the character's identity.

Abstract

The study describes how women use language by using linguistic features in televised interviews featuring prominent female figures, focusing on Oprah Winfrey and her guests, Brené Brown and Esther Perel, which become the characteristics of women's language.  It intends to analyse the relevance using of Lakoff’s theory and the strategy of language features produced by women's language. The study was designed using a descriptive qualitative method to describe the women's language features performed by Oprah Winfrey and her guests, Brené Brown and Esther Perel. The instrument was the researchers themselves who played an important role in collecting and analyzing the data. The data were taken from three unscripted interviews that analyzed the use and function of language features like hedges, tag questions, super polite forms, avoidance of strong assertions, empty adjectives, and emphatic stress. Thus, the data were analyzed by using frameworks from Lakoff, Tannen, Holmes, Coates, and Cameron by coding and interpreting them based on pragmatic functions and their relation. The study reveals that these linguistic features do not indicate weakness or deference, but are used as a strategy to communicate, especially in showing empathy, managing authority, and constructing relational identity. The study also shows the absence of selective features such as hypercorrect grammar and precise color terms which indicates adaptation of conversational norms in media discourse. The result supports the understanding of femininity both in performative and rhetorical contexts in which gendered speech is used to reflect identity and as a sensitive practice in a context. It also contributes to the study of language and gender that bridge the classic sociolinguistics theories and contempered discourse in emotionally expressive media

Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical impact of small-scale instruction strategies, also known as microteaching, on the professional development of English-speaking educators. In response to the persistent theory-practice divide in teacher education, small-scale instruction offers a practical framework for skill-based learning through iterative teaching sessions, guided feedback, and reflective practices. This research investigates how microteaching enhances classroom performance, instructional confidence, and student-centered delivery. The study applies a qualitative, literature-based method and synthesizes findings from over 80 global and regional peer-reviewed sources. Key challenges identified include inadequate theoretical integration, insufficient instructional resources, limited digital infrastructure, and evaluation gaps. At the same time, the literature highlights the potential of video-based feedback, context-sensitive teaching simulations, and constructivist alignment to optimize learning outcomes. The findings advocate for a comprehensive, digitally supported, and culturally responsive microteaching framework, particularly suited for low-resource and linguistically diverse educational contexts. This paper contributes to teacher training discourse by offering scalable, evidence-based models adaptable to dynamic classroom environments.

Abstract

This study examines the methodical frameworks in textual, political, and critical discourse analysis by three case studies: the continuity of sense in wartime, local coherence in political communiqué and formal properties of literary language. As master’s theses defended at Jerash University, Jordan in 2022/2023.These master’s theses sought to handle the key issues in the related studies. They also evaluated the efficacy of the corpus - based approaches in analyzing discursive phenomena and in real-world language patterns to understand how context influences meaning. The study utilizes a qualitative case-study method to explore essential subjects in DA along with their sampling frames and instrumental designs. By examining of linguistic corpora from such fields as literature, politics and intercultural debates, the efficacy of well-structured methods in enabling detailed analyses and revealing new insights is illustrated. Zelensky’s (2022) Addresses in Ukraine’s Crisis, Obama’s (2020) A Promised Land and Hosseini’s (2007) A Thousand Splendid Suns represent these research areas. The results emphasize the potential of corpus-based methods to provide crucial insights and vital resources for persuasion, diplomacy and interpretation, carrying values for related areas like translation studies, semiotics, political communication and pragmatics.

Abstract

The undeniable enticement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) goes across every aspect of daily basis, and education is no exception. The obstacles remain present due to the sociodemographic factors, and eventually, they touch the preconceived judgments teachers have. This research is aimed at investigating how stigmatization and sociodemographics of students in choosing the best AI for students. This research was conducted using qualitative research, i.e., interviews of twelve teachers who were selected based on the curated criteria and thematic analysis. The findings suggest that teachers stigmatize students according to the sociodemographic factors, consisting of gender, age, ethnicity, proficiency, economic level, previous education, and financial aid. Teachers take their consideration of choosing AI based on the sociodemographic. As a result, it greatly helps students in achieving learning outcomes. The findings agree with the notion that AI implementation should be adjusted to the students’ needs, though in this case, it involves stigmatization as an initial step. Therefore, for future researchers, it will be necessary to understand the indication of stigmatization in the implementation of AI, especially in settings that encompass multiple backgrounds.

Abstract

This study investigates the process of translating nonce words in Indonesian subtitles of the musical fantasy film Wicked, focusing on the challenges posed by highly creative and humorous expressions that remain underexplored in audiovisual translation studies. Set in the magical land of Oz, the film incorporates playful and imaginative expressions like Galindafied and braverism, which present unique translation difficulties. The study employs content analysis to compare human-generated subtitles from Apple TV with AI-generated subtitles produced by ChatGPT. While both human and AI translations tend to convey the general meaning of the nonce words, they fail to capture the stylistic and humorous nuances present in the source language. Human translations can be literal or omit creative expressions entirely, suggesting that neither method fully encapsulates the inventiveness and playfulness of the source language. This study underscores the importance of developing more adaptable strategies for translating highly creative audiovisual texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of implicature in the lyrics of Radiohead’s album OK Computer within the broader field of pragmatics, emphasizing how meaning is constructed beyond literal interpretation in artistic discourse. The study aims to identify the types of implicature present in the album and to explain how implied meanings are generated through linguistic choices in song lyrics. Grounded in H. P. Grice’s theory of conversational implicature and the Cooperative Principle, this qualitative research analyzes eight selected songs from OK Computer: “Airbag,” “Paranoid Android,” “Subterranean Homesick Alien,” “Let Down,” “Karma Police,” “No Surprises,” “Climbing Up the Walls,” and “Lucky.” The analysis focuses on the observance and flouting of Grice’s maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner to uncover implicit meanings embedded in the lyrics. The findings reveal a total of 85 implicatures, consisting of 83 conversational implicatures and 2 conventional implicatures, indicating that conversational implicature is the dominant strategy employed throughout the album. Songs such as “Climbing Up the Walls,” “Airbag,” and “Let Down” show a high frequency of implicature, reflecting themes of fear, alienation, technological anxiety, and emotional vulnerability. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that implicature functions as a central pragmatic device in OK Computer, enabling Radiohead to communicate complex emotional and social meanings while maintaining poetic subtlety and interpretive openness.
