Abstract

There is abundant Pashto contemporary literature throughout the country produced by staunchest Afghan writers who depicted the literary, social, cultural, political, and religious aspects of the society. Yet, there is little information, particularly in English language, about the literary life and contribution of Nasir Ahamd Ahmadi. The study aims to disseminate the biographical and literary information about Ahmadi in English. It also provides his literary contribution in modern Pashto literature. The analysis revealed that Lat. Ahmadi was famous for his Pashto novels because of his sweet, local color, and simple linguistic terms. He was a fluent and eloquent writer of Pashto modern novels and short stories which are written for the purpose of reforming Afghan society morally. And, he has published more than twenty five works among which Jojo (2013), Baghdadi Pir (2016), and Akh Watana! (2018) novels had been a lot of popular. The data were primarily collected through Arts students’ monographs in Pashto Departments including some personal communications. Some books were also reviewed in the central library of at Kandahar University for data collection which was analyzed thematically and translated into English professionally. The findings suggest that many Pashtun critics and students love Ahmadi’s artistic works especially the novels and short stories. It seems quite essential that not only his literary life and achievements have to be researched in native languages but it is significant that one of his best novels needs to be translated into English language for a large number of international audiences.

Abstract

This study explores non-English department students' perceptions of the use of YouTube videos as supplementary resources in learning English speaking and conversation. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The analysis shows that non-English students generally find YouTube an engaging and effective tool for learning English. They appreciate its flexibility, accessibility, and the realistic learning experiences it offers. YouTube is particularly valued for improving understanding of English topics and conversations, providing cultural insights, and supporting pronunciation and intonation. It is seen as a personalized and enjoyable learning resource. YouTube is regarded as effective for vocabulary acquisition. Students believe it helps them learn new words, understand word usage in social contexts, and apply vocabulary in real-life conversations. The platform’s clear explanations and frequent phrase repetition improve retention and confidence. In speaking skills, YouTube has a significant impact. It enhances pronunciation, builds confidence, and helps students feel more comfortable speaking English, especially in casual situations. Students get benefits from exposure to various accents and conversation examples, which help improve fluency. However, students face several challenges using YouTube for learning, such as difficulty understanding accents or fast speech, poor video/audio quality, and trouble maintaining focus. There is also a challenge in selecting appropriate videos, and some students feel there is insufficient explanation of vocabulary or a lack of interactive speaking practice. Students suggest several improvements to make YouTube more effective as a learning tool, including the addition of subtitles, more videos on formal and professional conversations, and better video selection guidance. They recommend incorporating interactive quizzes, visuals, and more tailored conversation examples for different learning needs. Additionally, they suggest videos should focus on correcting pronunciation errors and include more exposure to diverse accents. Lastly, students call for guided speaking practice sessions to enhance learning. Overall, students highlight YouTube’s potential as an effective and flexible tool for English learning while offering suggestions to overcome its challenges and enhance its educational value.

Abstract

This paper examines the phonological differences between Bahasa Indonesia and Singkil language in linguistic variation and identity among Singkils. Language variation includes one of human language attributes which demonstrated by differences in terms of pronunciation and structure. The objectives of this research are to find out phonological similarities between Bahasa Indonesia and Singkil language, to figure out the differences in the phonological systems of both languages, and to elaborate the attitudes of Singkils students toward their language and Bahasa Indonesia. This research was conducted on the third class of SDN 1 students speaking Singkil in KutaBahari district. Ten students engaged in reading an Indonesian passage. The evidence gathered via observation, analyses of secondary data, structured interviews, and questionnaires show that the sound ᵐb, ᵐp, ⁿc, ⁿd, ⁿg, and ⁿj are not dialects at all. All speakers of Singkil pronounce words containing these sounds with the same pronunciation. It is only possible because of the influence of the language outside (other than the language of Singkil). In this case, some students pronounce [ᵐb] became[b], [ᵐp] into [p], and this is only a very small speaker of Singkil. From this condition, we can conclude that language shift occurs in bilinguals. Bilingualism began when the people move into contact with other people and languages, and also from the other needs. It can be seen from The change [ᶬp] to [p],[ⁿb] to [b],[ⁿɟ] to [ɟ] is one of the language shifts. In the end, the identity of Singkil speakers display in their language attitude towards their language based on 12 questions is mostly positive. The average value obtained was 2, 7. Meanwhile, the result indicates that the attitude of the respondents towards Indonesia is equal whether positive or negative. Keyword:PhonologicalContrasts, Bilingualism,Identity

Abstract

This study analyzes the 2024 U.S. presidential election debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris using the Interpersonal Function framework, specifically Exchange Structure (Move) from Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The analysis identifies five Move patterns: "K1", "K2^K1", "K1^K2F", "K1^K2F^K1F", and "A1", along with one dynamic move pattern: Challenge and Response to Challenge (CH-RCH). The findings reveal that Donald Trump adopts a more authoritative and responsive stance in the debate, frequently assuming the role of Primary Knower (K1) to assert his knowledge and authority. He is more engaged in responding to challenges (RCH) rather than initiating them, indicating a focus on defending his credibility. In contrast, Kamala Harris actively challenges (CH) Trump's statements, often taking the Secondary Knower (K2) role by questioning or scrutinizing his claims before asserting her own position. However, she also assumes the Primary Knower (K1) role at times to establish her authority. Trump's debate strategy is centered on defending and reinforcing his credibility, while Harris employs a more confrontational approach, challenging Trump's assertions to cast doubt on his statements. This study contributes to the understanding of power dynamics and interactional strategies in political debates through an SFL-based discourse analysis.

Abstract

This study compares the representation of hedonism and the shift in thinking of characters in the films The Tinder Swindler (2022) and The Great Gatsby (2013). This study uses a qualitative descriptive method using the theory of hedonism by Epicurus (341-270 BC) as the basis for analysis. This study found that in The Tinder Swindler, hedonism is used as a tool of manipulation in the digital era, while in The Great Gatsby, hedonism reflects the search for happiness that ends tragically. Simon Leviev's character does not experience a change in thinking, still holding on to his hedonistic life principles even though he is caught, while Jay Gatsby experiences the realization that wealth cannot repeat the past. A comparison of social contexts shows that The Tinder Swindler reflects the culture of imagery on social media, while The Great Gatsby reflects the excesses of capitalism in the Roaring Twenties era. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that excessive hedonism can lead to destruction, both in the modern world and in a historical context. This study reminds us that the search for happiness through material things often ends in emptiness. Thus, this study reveals that not all forms of hedonism lead to true happiness, especially when based on the illusion of wealth and social image

Abstract

Bilingualism is crucial in fostering global communication and cultural exchange. The study aims a) to analyze the bilingual utterances in a YouTube podcast of Agatha Chelsea and Jerome Polin, using Weinreich’s framework to understand the interaction of language use in digital courses; b) to highlight how bilingualism manifests in informal, public communication, and to provide insights into the implications of bilingualism for society and education. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, which aims to describe and explain a phenomenon or situation using qualitative data. The data were collected through a document analysis technique. It comprises of three steps namely identifying the documents, transcribing the data, and categorizing & coding the data. Then the data are analysed to determine the types of bilingualism in speech and the reason beyond the structure of the utterances. The result indicates that 80.6% of the bilingual utterances are subordinate bilingualism, while 19.4% are compound bilingualism. This ratio highlights the predominance of blending languages for clarity and inclusivity in digital media. This article contributes to the discourse on bilingual communication in digital platforms emphasizing the importance of bridging linguistic and cultural divides while enriching linguistic studies with real-world applications.

Abstract

The OLAY advertisement shows the challenges that women still face in STEM fields, such as discrimination and negative stereotypes about their competencies. This study aims to explore how the advertisement uses communication strategies to support women’s empowerment and change how people see gender issues. It also examines how brands can influence shifts in public views on gender roles. This research uses a qualitative content analysis method, with data taken from OLAY India’s 2022 YouTube advertisement. The data were collected by observing scenes that show gender inequality, taking screenshots, and analyzing them using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory: denotation, connotation, and myth. Semiotic signs are found in OLAY advertisements, both visually through the scenes in the video and verbally through the narrative and text displayed. This study shows that OLAY advertisements contain visual and verbal signs that represent the challenges faced by women in STEM fields and how they strive to fight gender stereotypes and inequalities. The findings of this study suggest that advertising can be an effective medium for promoting gender equality and changing society’s perception of women's traditional roles.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze men’s and women’s language features and their functions found in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's episode with Taylor Swift. A qualitative method with a sociolinguistics approach were applied to analyze the data, and to collect the data, the researcher uses the documentation technique. The researcher also utilized Lakoff’s theory of women’s language (2004), Coates’ theory of men’s language (2015), and Jakobson’s theory of language functions (2013) to answer the research problems. The result of this study highlights three main findings. First, there are 80 Jimmy Fallon’s utterances included in men’s language features. It consists of minimal response (38.75%), compliment (28.75%), interruption (17.50%), and command and directive (15%). Second, there are 271 Taylor Swift’s expressions included in women's language features, namely lexical hedge and filler (59.41%), intensifier (16.24%), emphatic stress (13.65%), empty adjective (4.43%), hypercorrect grammar (2.58%), rising intonation on declarative (1.48%), super-polite form (1.11%), question tag (0.74%) and avoidance of strong swear word (0.37%). Third, men’s and women’s language features found in the data serve several functions, namely expressive (72.63%), phatic (10.06%), referential (7.26%), metalinguistic (5.31%), and directive (4.75%). Accordingly, it can be concluded that not all men’s and women’s language feature as well as their language functions found in this study. There is no use of swear, taboo language, and precise color term. There are also no utterances that have a phatic function.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of storytelling on pronunciation development among SMP and SMA students. The research focuses on how meaningful repetition, emotional engagement, and confidence-building in stories support articulation, intonation, stress, and rhythm. Using a qualitative approach, students’ storytelling performances were recorded, analyzed, and observed to identify patterns of pronunciation improvement. The results show that repeated phrases in narratives helped students master challenging sounds naturally, emotional content improved prosody and expression, and engaging stories enhanced speaking confidence. Storytelling created authentic, motivating contexts that encouraged students to practice language purposefully, combining cognitive, emotional, and social engagement. These results suggest that storytelling is a dynamic, student-centered strategy for pronunciation teaching, offering repeated practice, emotional engagement, and confidence support simultaneously. Incorporating storytelling into language instruction can improve students’ oral proficiency, prosody, and communicative effectiveness, making pronunciation learning more natural, effective, and enjoyable.
