Abstract

This study aims to explore the activities, beliefs, and customs reflected in the novel Batbat Hi Udan and to understand how these aspects are still practiced and showcased by the Bukidnon tribe in contemporary times. The research seeks to answer the following questions: What activities, beliefs, and customs are depicted in the novel? How does the tribe continue to display these practices today? To achieve this, the study employed a socio-cultural analysis, which allowed for a deeper understanding of the connection between the literary work and the cultural traditions of the Bukidnon people. The study found that the activities, beliefs, and customs portrayed in Batbat Hi Udan are still alive and relevant in the current practices of the Bukidnon tribe, highlighting the tribe's strong commitment to preserving their cultural heritage. These traditions continue to be valued and passed down through generations, demonstrating literature's vital role in preserving culture. Based on these findings, the study recommends further examination of other Bukidnon literary works to enrich the knowledge of the diverse cultural practices of various tribes and to emphasize the richness of the Bukidnon tribe's cultural legacy. Through this research, it becomes evident that literature is essential in sustaining and transmitting cultural values to future generations, ensuring that the tribe's identity and customs remain intact.

Abstract

This paper examines the linguistic and functional characteristics of American slang within the film script of Whiplash (2014), written by Damien Chazelle. It categorizes slang based on linguistic features and discusses their roles in portraying character relationship, emotional intensity, and group-based identity in a high-pressure music academy setting. The study finds that slang in Whiplash functions not just as informal language, but as a purposeful communicative strategy. It facilitates peer interaction, expresses strong emotion, and strengthen group identity, while also serving as a tool for social division, pressure, and control. These expressions reflect a range of linguistic features – such as ellipsis, rhythm, creativity, vulgarity, and ephemerality – that mirror the demanding environment of competitive jazz. Ultimately, the film demonstrates how slang can function as both a bonding mechanism and a form of domination, highlighting the powerful relationship between language, power, and identity.
