Abstract

Speech acts are very important in daily conversation. In this study, the writer analyzes Emma Watson’s speech acts in the interview with People/Entertainment Weekly Network (PEN). The analysis used speech acts theory by Searle (1969, as cited in Yule, 1996). The writer found that the speaker only used three types of speech acts, which are representatives, expressives, and commissives. The writer found that the most frequently used type of speech acts were representatives. The writer did not find the declarations and directives types in Emma's speech since Emma did not have the authority or some kind of institutional role to be able to affect and change a certain condition through her utterances. In the interview, she also did not need help that required her to order someone to do something for her. Therefore, the writer found that the most frequently used type of speech acts were representatives.

Abstract

This thesis addresses the low brand awareness of Grand Nature Residence, a new real estate project in Sidoarjo. Despite using Instagram and TikTok, the company failed to reach its main target, financially capable young adults, due to a mismatch between platform use and audience behavior. Through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, the research identified key USPs: strategic location and strong investment potential. To solve this, two Facebook Ads tools were developed: an introductory video and an FAQ post, leveraging Facebook’s precise audience targeting. These tools were crafted to convey the USPs using relevant visuals, language, and narrative. This approach enhances message relevance, exposure, and engagement. By aligning message, medium, and audience, the solution is expected to improve brand visibility and increase buyer interest.

Abstract

Oyasumi Punpun by Inio Asano is a slice-of-life manga that explores psychological depth through its protagonist, Onodera Punpun. This study examines the symbolic meanings behind Punpun’s eight changing forms and how they reflect his emotional and psychological states. The visual contrast between Punpun and other realistically drawn characters sparked interest in exploring these forms. Using Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory, Punpun’s growth is categorized into school age, adolescence, and young adulthood. Semiotic analysis is also applied to interpret the connotations, denotations, and myths behind each form. The findings show his transformations mirror inner struggles, childhood reflects innocence and dependency, adolescence shows identity confusion through three distinct forms and young adulthood presents emotional turmoil and eventual acceptance. These symbolic shifts reveal how manga effectively portrays mental health and emotional development.

Abstract

Queen of Tears, 2024’s top k-drama, explores a unique couple dynamic: a conglomerate heiress marries a village man. This article examines the expected gender roles imposed on Baek Hyun Woo and Hong Hae In , and their responses. The findings indicate that modern society still expects Baek Hyun Woo to be the breadwinner and the head of the family, while Hong Hae In is expected to be a homemaker and submissive. Baek Hyun Woo shows conformity to the expectations as he internalizes his roles. However, Hong Hae In shows ambiguity, performing nonconformity yet also conforming to gender roles in situations where it benefits her. The study concludes that traditional gender roles expectation persists in modern Korean society. Individuals are able to respond through nonconformity and conformity, driven by internalized values and beneficial considerations.

Abstract

Petra Production House (PPH) is a newly rebranded student film organization within Petra Christian University (PCU). Its main problem is a lack of brand awareness among the broader student body, evidenced by poor event attendance. To validate this issue, the writer has conducted a survey targeting university students. The results confirmed low recognition of PPH, with over 50% unaware of the organization, and revealed preferences for casual, community-based film events. The implemented solution was a series of movie night events enhanced with interactive elements such as discussion boards and snacks. This strategy targeted PCU students interested in film and casual events, using Instagram, group chats, and peer promotion as channels. The effectiveness of this solution was measured through post-event surveys, showing an increase in brand recognition and high enjoyment. Attendance increased fourfold compared to prior events, and over 90% of attendees recommended future events. The benefits include improved visibility, deeper audience engagement, and stronger brand perception.

Abstract

This study examines how women’s language features, based on Lakoff’s (2004) theory, are used in Dove U.S. YouTube campaigns, “My Beauty My Say.” Using a qualitative method, the study analyzes spoken utterances from five monologue-style campaign videos. Four language features were found in the campaign: lexical hedges or fillers, “empty” adjectives, intensifiers, and emphatic stress. These features are used in two main ways. In terms of function, women use these features to indicate hesitation or uncertainty, to highlight personal experiences and feelings, and to express strong emotions in a soft and polite manner. In terms of context, these features are used to describe the speakers themselves. In conclusion, Dove U.S.’s YouTube campaign videos demonstrate the use of language features that align with women’s language. Future research should include additional campaigns to provide a broader and clearer understanding of how women’s language features are used in campaign videos.

Abstract

This study examines the translation of metaphors in the Indonesian novel Laskar Pelangi (The Rainbow Troops) by Andrea Hirata and its English translation by Angie Kilbane. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the translation from Indonesian into English and to determine whether the meanings are preserved across both versions. AI was used to look for the data containing metaphorical expressions, but the result obtained was that not all sentences contained metaphorical expressions. The data consist of both sentences containing metaphorical expressions and without ones. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach. The analysis is guided by the meaning in the translation framework proposed by Bowker (2023) and supported by Harris’s (2018) theory of metaphor. The finding is that the sentences without metaphorical expressions are translated with and without changes without significant loss of meaning. The metaphors are translated into metaphor-to-metaphor translation, metaphor-to-non-metaphor translation, and metaphor-to-simile translation.

Abstract

This creative work, a short film screenplay adapted from Dee Lestari’s short story Asam Garam, explores the experience of loss and its impact on an individual’s life, the journey through grief, and the process of overcoming grief toward acceptance. These elements are elaborated through a short film screenplay grounded in Kübler-Ross’s (2014) theory of loss and stages of grief, as well as the dual process model of coping with bereavement proposed by Stroebe and Schut (1999). The screenplay is also developed using the adaptation principles outlined by Hutcheon (2006) and Desmond and Hawkes (2006). The narrative centers on Gaspar, a skeptical journalist mourning the death of his father, who is assigned to interview the owner of a popular shop in Papua that sells a mysterious black salt said to make anyone cry without reason. His encounter with the shop owner gradually enables him to accept his loss. This story demonstrates that multiple losses can lead to a series of subsequent losses that shape an individual’s psychological wounds, that the grieving process varies across individuals and is inherently non-linear, and that crying can serve as an initial step toward healing.

Abstract

Emily Dickinson's poem Hope is the Thing with Feathers depicts hope as a powerful presence within the human soul that endures under any circumstances. However, the poem's natural symbolism can also be used to portray hope as a spiritual energy inherent in the human spirit. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the poem's transcendental significance by looking at how natural elements serve as a medium for connecting human experience to spiritual values. This analysis draws on Buell’s conception of transcendentalist aesthetics to interpret Emily’s use of nature as a spiritual medium, employing Lawrence Buell’s Literary Transcendentalism: Style and Vision in the American Renaissance (1973) as its primary theoretical framework. In addition, the interpretation uses Christian symbolic tradition as an intertextual reference to highlight the spiritual resonance of the poem's imagery, without addressing biblical texts as sources of religious doctrine. The findings show that Emily uses nature as a type of spiritual reflection to mediate the link between humans and the divine. As a result, the bird in the poem serves as more than just a sign of hope; it can also be regarded as symbolically resonating with depictions of the Holy Spirit, who sustains hope within the human soul.
