Politeness strategies are meaningful not only because they mitigate face threat but also because they index how speakers position themselves toward others. Previous film-based politeness studies have commonly classified Brown and Levinson’s strategies, while the relationship between strategy choice and relational orientation has received less systematic attention. This study examines 70 coded utterances produced by Liesel Meminger in The Book Thief (2013) and asks how politeness strategies relate to interpersonal meanings in scripted cinematic discourse. The study uses qualitative pragmatic analysis, applying Brown and Levinson’s framework to identify bald-on-record, positive-politeness, negative-politeness, and off-record strategies, while interpersonal meanings are interpreted through DeVito’s communication perspective together with contextual variables of social distance, relative power, and rank of imposition. In the coded corpus, bald on record is most frequent (43; 61.4%), followed by positive politeness (17; 24.3%), negative politeness (8; 11.4%), and off record (2; 2.9%). The primary relational orientations are intimacy (38; 54.3%), solidarity (16; 22.9%), conflict (15; 21.4%), and status/deference (1; 1.4%). The findings illustrate that directness in scripted dialogue can occur within close, cooperative, or conflictual relationships and that strategy interpretation depends on the face-threatening act, scene context, and P–D–R configuration rather than on linguistic form alone.

Psychoanalytic film studies frequently interpret horror characters through unconscious conflict, yet cross-film analyses of the same character remain comparatively limited. This study examines how Dalton Lambert is psychoanalytically characterized in Insidious (2010) and Insidious: The Red Door (2023) through Freud’s structural concepts of the Id, Ego, and Superego. Using qualitative content analysis and comparative film interpretation, the study works with a balanced analytical corpus of 66 coded units, 33 from each film. A unit is defined as a bounded dialogue turn, action, or short action-dialogue sequence that can be assigned one primary psychic function on the basis of narrative context. Within this coded corpus, Id-related representations account for 32 units (48.5%), Ego-related representations for 22 (33.3%), and Superego-related representations for 12 (18.2%). The two films differ descriptively: the later film contains more Id- and Superego-related codes and fewer Ego-related codes. These frequency patterns are treated as properties of the selected cinematic corpus rather than as clinical measurements of personality. The analysis suggests that the sequel reactivates earlier fear and memory while also depicting greater social and moral self-awareness. Freud’s model therefore provides a useful interpretive lens for tracing representational change across interconnected horror narratives, although several scenes remain open to alternative psychoanalytic readings.

English is used across multilingual settings, but accents associated with established English-speaking countries can still carry social meanings related to competence, legitimacy, and professional status. Research in Indonesia has documented both attraction to native-associated pronunciation and growing acceptance of accent diversity; however, these positions should not be treated as mutually exclusive, and evidence from vocational higher education remains context-specific. This article presents a protocol for examining how students at one Indonesian polytechnic perceive English accents and position their linguistic identities across academic, social, and anticipated professional settings. The proposed explanatory sequential mixed-methods design begins with a questionnaire and follows with purposively sampled interviews that compare participants’ accounts across contexts. The draft questionnaire covers native-accent orientation, accent identity and ownership, beliefs about intelligibility, professional accent expectations and adaptation, and social-educational influences. The instrument is provisional and requires expert review and pilot testing. No participants have been recruited for the study described here, and no empirical data, statistical results, or interview quotations are reported. The article introduces Contextual Accent Identity Negotiation as a provisional sensitising framework for analysing how prestige, identity, communication goals, and anticipated evaluation may interact. Its contribution is methodological and conceptual: it specifies how self-reported beliefs can be distinguished from actual listener comprehension, observed pronunciation behaviour, and employer practices. The protocol must be reviewed ethically and implemented with real participant data before any empirical conclusions can be drawn.

This study examines speech acts and their emotional consequences in White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky, focusing on interactions between the Dreamer and Nastenka. It aims to identify types of speech acts and analyze mismatches between illocutionary intent and perlocutionary effect. Using a qualitative descriptive method and a pragmatic approach, this research applied speech act theory and the concept of pragmatic failure to analyze 34 utterances. The findings showed that assertive and directive speech acts were most dominant, indicating that the dialogue is shaped by emotional expression and attempts to regulate interaction. Several instances of mismatch were identified, where intended reassurance or control resulted in emotional discomfort, increased attachment, or misunderstanding. These findings demonstrate that language plays a significant role in shaping emotional experience and reveal relational imbalance between characters. This study contributes to literary pragmatics by showing that emotional consequences arise not only from what is said, but from how it is interpreted.
