Abstract

Despite the growing prevalence of cross-cultural celebrity interviews in globalized entertainment media, existing pragmatic research has predominantly examined either mono-cultural interactions or applied single theoretical frameworks, leaving the communicative complexity of hybrid cultural identities in Western talk show contexts insufficiently explored. The intersection of Korean hierarchical indirectness, Australian casualness, and American entertainment conventions within a single interaction represents a particularly under-examined configuration in politeness scholarship, creating a significant analytical gap that the present study seeks to address. This study examines politeness strategies employed in a celebrity talk show interaction between Jimmy Fallon and Rosé from BLACKPINK, applying both classical and contemporary politeness theories to analyze cross-cultural communication in media discourse. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design, the research draws on the complete transcript of the interview as its primary data source, comprising 42 coded utterances systematically analyzed through Brown and Levinson's politeness framework alongside contemporary extensions including rapport management theory and the concept of politic behavior. The findings reveal that positive politeness strategies dominate the interaction at 50%, reflecting the genre's emphasis on rapport-building and audience engagement, while negative politeness strategies constitute 33%, primarily through hedging and indirect questioning. Bald on record strategies appear in 12% of utterances during task-oriented segments, and off-record strategies comprise 5%, employed for humorous effects. The analysis demonstrates how Rosé's hybrid cultural identity Korean, Australian, and international manifests in sophisticated code-switching between different politeness norms, balancing Korean-influenced indirectness with Australian casualness. Jimmy Fallon adapts typical American talk show conventions to accommodate cross-cultural dynamics, demonstrating cultural sensitivity alongside enthusiastic entertainment. The study confirms that successful celebrity interviews require collaborative face-work and dynamic adjustment of linguistic strategies across changing interactional demands, contributing to pragmatic theory while offering practical implications for media professionals, intercultural communication practitioners, and scholars interested in K-pop's global media presence.

Abstract

Contemporary Indonesian poetry employs figurative language not only as stylistic ornamentation but also as a means of constructing aesthetic experience and interpretative meaning. This study examines how figurative language functions aesthetically and contributes to meaning-making and emotional engagement in contemporary Indonesian poetry. A qualitative stylistic analysis was conducted on 35 contemporary Indonesian poems published between 2018 and 2024. The poems were purposively selected from published anthologies and online literary platforms according to their relevance to contemporary Indonesian poetry and the richness of their figurative language. Data were analyzed through close reading, coding, categorization, and qualitative interpretation, drawing on stylistics, conceptual metaphor theory, and cognitive poetics. The analysis identified metaphor as the most prominent figurative strategy, followed by sensory imagery, personification, and symbolism. Across the corpus, these forms contribute to the construction of identity, collective memory, urban experience, ecological awareness, and existential reflection. The findings show that figurative language operates as an integrated aesthetic system: metaphor structures abstract experience, sensory imagery creates embodied engagement, personification animates human–environment relations, and symbolism condenses sociocultural meanings. The study contributes to literary stylistics by demonstrating how figurative devices work collectively to produce aesthetic and interpretative effects in contemporary Indonesian poetry.

Abstract

Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) research has expanded beyond its traditional focus on classroom anxiety and language performance toward broader emotional, motivational, instructional, and technology-mediated dimensions. However, existing bibliometric studies provide limited field-level evidence on the recent transformation of FLA research, particularly its thematic evolution, disciplinary contributions, and scholarly collaboration. This study maps the development, thematic structure, and collaborative landscape of FLA research from 2010 to 2025 using bibliometric analysis. Bibliographic data were retrieved from Dimensions.ai, yielding a final dataset of 7,056 research articles. Descriptive bibliometric indicators and VOSviewer-based network analyses were used to examine publication and citation trends, research fields and publication sources, thematic structures, temporal thematic evolution, and co-authorship networks. The findings show that annual publications increased from 57 articles in 2010 to 1,381 in 2025, while citations increased from 11 to 33,610 over the same period. FLA research was concentrated in Language, Communication and Culture (3,967 articles), Education (3,170), and Psychology (897), with Frontiers in Psychology being the most productive publication source (242 articles). The thematic analysis identified five clusters encompassing anxiety and evaluation, positive emotions and motivation, instruction and technology, contextual factors, and conceptual or reflective research. The temporal analysis indicates a shift from traditional classroom and test anxiety toward technology, online learning, proficiency, and more complex analytical perspectives. The co-authorship analysis of 36 authors revealed several interconnected but relatively separate collaboration groups. Overall, the findings provide an updated field-level account of FLA research as an increasingly multidimensional, interdisciplinary, and context-sensitive domain.

Abstract

Reda Gaudiamo’s Na Willa has received scholarly attention from various perspectives, yet its representation of the protagonist specifically as a girl remains underexplored. This study examines how gender expectations surrounding girlhood are represented and negotiated through Na Willa’s everyday experiences. Using a descriptive qualitative design and qualitative content analysis, the study draws on Butler’s gender performativity and Driscoll’s conceptualization of girlhood as a culturally constructed category. The findings show that Na Willa neither simply reinforces nor rejects conventional gender expectations. Instead, girlhood emerges through differing expectations communicated by family, peers, and community, alongside Na Willa’s own interests and experiences. Mak’s selective responses further complicate these expectations by questioning some gendered boundaries while maintaining others related to Na Willa’s position as a child. The novel thus represents girlhood through multiple possibilities, expectations, and boundaries rather than a singular model of femininity. This study contributes to gender studies in children’s literature by highlighting girlhood as a negotiated category beyond a simple conformity-resistance binary.

Abstract

Urbanization intensifies the pressure on minority languages because dominant languages often regulate schooling, work, mobility, and public interaction. This qualitative case study examined how a 10-member multigenerational Ibanag-speaking family in Makati City maintains and sustains the Ibanag language amid the strong presence of Filipino and English in an urban setting. Guided by sociocultural theory, ethnolinguistic vitality theory, and family language policy, the study drew on semi-structured interviews, small-group conversations, participant observation, field notes, and family-based narrative reflections. Thematic analysis generated four major findings: parents and elders function as primary agents of intergenerational language transmission through home conversations, correction, reminders, and storytelling; daily routines such as meals, household activities, religious practices, and family gatherings provide natural spaces for Ibanag use; urban pressures from schooling, peer interaction, public communication, and language stigma restrict Ibanag use outside the home; and family members respond through deliberate home-domain language practice, community participation, cultural memory work, and positive identity affirmation. The study shows that language sustainability in an urban environment depends on the interaction of family commitment, community networks, and institutional support. Prior accounts often frame urbanization as uniformly eroding minority languages; this study shows instead that urbanization produces domain-specific shift, with the home and family functioning as a resilient high-vitality domain that buffers Ibanag from decline. This understanding adds a Philippine perspective to global scholarship on language maintenance, while providing actionable guidance for families, educators, local government units, and cultural organizations working to safeguard urban linguistic heritage

Abstract

The conflict experienced by the Palestinian people since the Nakba has left a psychological impact reflected in literature. This study examines how Adania Shibli represents the neurotic anxiety of a Palestinian female protagonist in the novel Tafsil Tsanawi (Minor Detail), reflecting the condition of a society living under post-Nakba occupation. Primary data consists of narrative excerpts depicting the protagonist's experience of the persistent threat of occupation, while secondary data is drawn from works on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis and the psychology of literature specifically regarding neurotic anxiety. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in psychoanalytic literary criticism and close reading techniques, the study classifies excerpts based on three criteria derived from Freud’s concept of neurotic anxiety (1926): the persistence of the threat, ego longing, and the id-reality conflict. The findings reveal that Shibli represents neurotic anxiety not as an isolated psychological condition, but as the result of an interplay between external reality pressures and the protagonist's internal conflicts. This is consistently portrayed through recurring somatic symptoms and self-driven impulses, depicting anxiety as a dynamic psychological process that never reaches true resolution. The novel illustrates a scenario in which, contrary to its typical role of assisting the ego in repressing id impulses, the superego instead supports the protagonist's id impulses, thereby placing the ego under immense pressure. This finding contributes to expanding the application of Freud's theory of neurotic anxiety within literary studies by highlighting this alignment between the protagonist's id and superego.

Abstract

Although The Yellow Wallpaper has been extensively examined through feminist and psychological perspectives, relatively few studies have explicitly integrated feminist literary criticism with feminist psychology to explain how patriarchal oppression is transformed into internalized psychological oppression within the narrator’s consciousness. Addressing this gap, this study investigates the relationship between patriarchal authority, domestic confinement, and the narrator’s psychological transformation in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper. Employing qualitative textual analysis informed by feminist literary criticism and feminist psychology, the study analyzes narrative descriptions, characterization, symbolism, and representations of power embedded in the text. The findings demonstrate that patriarchal oppression operates through three interconnected mechanisms: the medicalization of female experience, domestic isolation imposed under the guise of care, and the internalization of patriarchal authority that gradually fragments the narrator’s identity. Rather than functioning solely as a symbol of confinement, the yellow wallpaper represents the narrator’s transition from psychological subjugation to symbolic resistance against patriarchal control. These findings reveal that the narrator’s psychological collapse constitutes a form of resistance generated by the contradictions of patriarchal domination rather than merely an individual mental disorder. The study contributes theoretically by strengthening the integration of feminist literary criticism and feminist psychology in literary analysis, while empirically offering a more nuanced interpretation of the interplay between patriarchal discourse, psychological oppression, and symbolic resistance in The Yellow Wallpaper.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now embedded in translation practice, yet frequent use does not necessarily ensure critical or self-regulated translation. Recent studies have examined GenAI performance, student perceptions, prompting behavior, and assessment policy, but fewer studies connect students’ observed translation processes with instructor needs and curriculum requirements to derive process-oriented instructional design. This study identifies the needs of students and instructors and formulates design requirements for a Metacognition- and AI-Integrated Translation Practice Module (MPP-AIM). It reports the Define phase of the 4-D Research and Development framework using a convergent mixed-methods needs-analysis design. Questionnaire data were collected from 15 English Literature students and two translation instructors; the instructors also participated in semi-structured interviews, 11 students were observed during AI-assisted translation tasks, and the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) was analyzed. Students reported very high AI familiarity (M = 4.9) and use for translation assignments (M = 4.8), but lower confidence in independently performing translation tasks (M = 2.9). Observation showed that 9 of 11 students began without systematic planning and 7 performed no post-editing. Instructors were cautious about AI-generated translation quality (M = 2.5) while strongly supporting curriculum revision and professional development (M = 5.0 each). Integrated findings indicate a gap between technological adoption and metacognitive regulation, curricular alignment, and process-oriented assessment. The study contributes an evidence-to-design framework specifying planning prompts, structured prompting, post-editing checklists, reflective activities, ethical-use guidance, process-oriented rubrics, peer review, and instructor support for critical human-AI collaboration.

Abstract

Contemporary environmental degradation has increased the need to examine how literature constructs ethical perspectives on human relationships with the natural world. However, existing ecocritical studies of Indonesian literature have tended to examine ecological representation thematically, with limited attention to how environmental ethics and human–nature relationships are constructed through contrasting ecological epistemologies. This study addresses this gap by examining the representation of environmental ethics and human–nature relationships in Aroma Karsa and Bilangan Fu through an ecocritical framework. Employing a qualitative descriptive design and textual analysis, the study examines selected narrative passages that represent nature, human interactions with nature, and ecological values. The analysis is guided by ecocritical perspectives.The analysis identifies two contrasting ecological epistemologies. Aroma Karsa constructs a predominantly scientific-rational and instrumental epistemology in which nature is associated with classification, control, and resource utilization. In contrast, Bilangan Fu constructs a predominantly spiritual, experiential, and relational epistemology in which nature is represented as a meaningful presence requiring understanding, respect, and ethical engagement. These contrasting epistemologies correspond to different patterns of human–nature relationships: instrumental control and utilization in Aroma Karsa, and interconnectedness and coexistence in Bilangan Fu. The study contributes to Indonesian ecocritical scholarship by demonstrating how contemporary literary narratives construct competing ways of knowing, valuing, and relating to nature.
