Abstract

This study investigates the psychological dimensions of the main character in the film Shadow and Bone using Bernhardt’s (1953) theory of human motivation. The analysis focuses on five key motivational categories: organic needs, desire, emotions as motives, feelings and attitudes as motives, and social motives. Through qualitative descriptive methods, 24 instances of psychological motivation were identified from the film. The findings indicate that desire-related motivations (33.3%) and organic needs (29.1%) are most dominant in shaping the character of Alina, the protagonist. These motivations are closely tied to Alina’s experiences of personal conflict, social rejection, and emotional struggle, which drive her actions and development throughout the narrative. The study highlights how cinematic characters can serve as complex psychological representations, enriching narrative depth and enhancing audience empathy. This research contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse between psychology, literature, and film studies, emphasizing the importance of psychological realism in character construction.

Abstract

This study investigates the psychological dimensions of human behavior as depicted in the film All Is Lost, directed by J.C. Chandor. Focusing on the main character, the research aims to examine behavioral patterns and uncover underlying psychological aspects presented throughout the narrative. The analysis is based on Sigmund Freud’s Semium (2006) theory of defense mechanisms and personality structure, as well as Anna Freud’s (1936) elaboration on defense mechanisms. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through careful observation of scenes and note-taking techniques. The findings reveal four distinct psychological aspects portrayed by the protagonist, with the survival instinct emerging as the most dominant. This study highlights how cinematic representation can reflect complex psychological processes in extreme conditions.

Abstract

This study explores the diverse types of characters depicted in The Adam Project movie using the characterization frameworks proposed by Nurgiyantoro (2010) and Pope (2005). Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies and categorizes six main characters-Adam Reed, young Adam Reed, Laura Shane, Louis Reed, Ellie Reed, and Maya Sorian-based on their roles and character traits. The findings reveal that protagonist characters dominate the film, followed by various character types such as major, minor, simple, dynamic, round, static, and antagonist roles. Each character’s classification is supported by specific scenes and dialogue extracted from the film and its transcript. The study demonstrates how character types contribute significantly to narrative development and provides a framework for analyzing character roles in cinematic storytelling. This analysis is expected to enhance understanding of character construction in film studies and serve as a reference for future character-based literary research.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of figurative language in Adele’s album 30 and Avril Lavigne’s album The Best Damn Thing. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the types of figurative language found in each song of both albums, and (2) to analyze the most dominantly used figurative language in each album and interpret its meaning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using all songs from the two albums as data sources. The findings reveal that Adele’s 30 features eight types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, metonymy, symbol, paradox, hyperbole, and understatement. In contrast, Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing contains four types: simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Hyperbole emerges as the most dominantly used figurative language in both albums. These findings suggest that hyperbolic expressions play a central role in conveying emotional intensity and artistic expression in contemporary pop music.

Abstract

The meaning of hate speech in social media can shift because the way people use social media is constantly changing, and the social and political context in which social media is used can also change. This study aims to analyze hate speech comments on Instagram and the meaning and relevance of the implicature to forensic linguistics. This research employs a qualitative approach to collect and analyze the meaning of hate speech. The research data was obtained from Instagram through hashtag searches. The main findings of this study indicate that hate speech on social media tends to avoid direct vulgar linguistic forms and instead relies on implicit language strategies to convey negative sentiments towards individuals or groups. There is widespread use of diminutives such as “bocah” or “bocil,” social stigmatization such as “ndeso” and “bau kencur,” and institutional euphemisms such as “makkamah keluarga,” all of which are important linguistic indicators in the analysis of political hatred in the digital space. The intensity classification shows that hate speech with moderate and severe intensity does not only come from explicit insults but also from narratives that normalize harassment based on age, appearance, and political affiliation. The implications of this study indicate that a forensic linguistic approach is very effective in uncovering forms of hate speech disguised through language strategies such as sarcasm, stereotypes, and euphemisms. Theoretically, these findings enrich the study of pragmatic linguistics and speech acts by showing the importance of implicature analysis in detecting non-explicit hate intentions.

Abstract

The new book “The Formosan Primary Anthropogonic Myths, Genesis and the Creation of Man” by Valdis Gauss was published in June by Brill’s Series in Taiwan Studies. This monograph offers never-before-seen insights into the origin traditions of Austronesian Taiwan. With the objective of creating the first ever English language corpus of the Formosan origin myths, over 100 texts were translated from Japanese, German and Mandarin into English and added to the over 250 total Formosan texts found for the work. This incredibly colorful array of creation texts, genesis texts, and drift origin texts sheds light on a previously rarely explored subject. The sacred oral histories of Taiwan’s Aboriginal tribes memorialize various types of vessels, of both the cosmic and non-cosmic sort that ferried the ancestors of Austronesian Taiwan to the island. Many of these cosmic vessels are said to have made loud and distressful sounds as they crashed from the sky. Moreover, embedded within the texts are the motives for the creation of man, interdictions bestowed upon the protoplasts by the creator gods, curious specters of creation en masse, the growing of mankind from seeds and an examination of modern practices that are inspired by the view of life through the lens of myth. Creation en masse themes indicate that multiple people were contemporaneously created which negates the otherwise obligatory incest motif that is required in traditions that describe the creation of a single person or two people. Correlations between the Sumerian creation myth and the Kanakanavu creation myth are also explored. Throughout the book, all of Taiwan’s Aboriginal primary anthropogonic myths are anthologized and the salient motifs preserved therein are identified.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of trauma in Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us through the experiences of the main character, Lily Bloom. The objective is to identify how Lily’s trauma is reflected, its causes, its effects, and the coping mechanisms she employs. A psychological approach is applied, drawing on the theories of Cathy Caruth, Judith Herman, and James Pennebaker, with descriptive qualitative analysis used to examine textual evidence from the novel. The findings show that Lily’s trauma is reflected in repetitive behaviors such as shuffling cards and in dissociative experiences like hallucinations. The primary cause of her trauma is her father’s domestic violence, while its effects include difficulties in relationships, emotional conflict, and instability, but also resilience and post-traumatic growth. Expressive writing functions as her main coping strategy, helping her process painful memories and ultimately break the cycle of abuse. This study concludes that It Ends with Us portrays the psychological complexity of trauma and emphasizes the role of literature in representing recovery. The research contributes to trauma studies and literary analysis by demonstrating how fiction can reveal the lived realities of trauma survivors and provide insight into pathways of healing.

Abstract

This study explores the use of deictic elements in the film Sejuta Sayang Untuknya through a technology-based approach utilizing the Kortara platform. Deixis, as a linguistic feature that relies on contextual information, plays a significant role in shaping the narrative and interactions within the film. The analysis focuses on personal deixis (e.g., saya, kamu, dia) and temporal deixis (e.g., sekarang, besok) to examine how these elements contribute to characterizations, relationships between characters, and the overall temporal structure of the storyline. The study reveals that deictic expressions serve as crucial tools for conveying emotional tones, power dynamics, and social hierarchies in dialogues. By applying Kortara, a computational tool designed for linguistic analysis, the study provides detailed insights into the frequency and distribution of deictic elements, offering a deeper understanding of how cultural and social contexts influence language use in cinematic discourse. This research highlights the potential of computational linguistics in analyzing pragmatics and social dynamics in film dialogues, contributing to both applied linguistics and the study of language in media. The findings underscore the importance of deictic elements as markers of personal and temporal relationships that shape the audience’s interpretation of character interactions and the narrative flow.

Abstract

Folklore plays a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and serves as a medium for transmitting moral, ecological, and social values across generations. This article examines Indonesian (Nusantara) and world folklore from a critical literacy perspective, emphasizing how narratives function as cultural texts laden with ideology, representation, and power relations. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study purposively selected ten folklore texts—five from Indonesia and five from global traditions (European, African, Greek, and Norse)—to ensure thematic and cultural comparability. Data analysis followed four stages: narrative structure and symbolism, contextual interpretation, critical interrogation of ideological positioning, and comparative synthesis. Findings reveal that Indonesian folklore highlights ecological wisdom, local spirituality, and communal values, whereas global folklore tends to stress moral order, universal justice, and cosmological struggles. Both traditions, however, converge in their role as instruments of moral education and cultural preservation, though with divergent orientations. Gender representations across cultures show ambivalence, reflecting both marginalization and symbolic empowerment. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of folklore in formal education and advocates for its revitalization through digital media and community participation. Ultimately, folklore is conceptualized as a living, adaptive tradition that negotiates values and identities, sustaining its relevance in contemporary globalized contexts.
