Abstract

This research explores the portrayal of feminism in the main character of the movie Maleficent directed by Robert Stromberg. The study aims to analysis how the character Maleficent represents feminist values through her actions, decisions, and development throughout the film. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies feminist literary criticism as the theoretical framework, particularly focusing on liberal feminism and radical feminism. The findings reveal that Maleficent’s character challenges traditional gender roles, reclaims her autonomy after betrayal, and transforms from a victim into a powerful, independent woman. The narrative presents Maleficent not only as a symbol of strength but also as a figure who redefines motherhood, love, and leadership from a feminist perspective. This study concludes that Maleficent offers a nuanced portrayal of female empowerment and contributes to contemporary feminist discourse in film.

Abstract

This study investigates the forms of verbal humor produced by elementary school students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Swasta (MIS) Syababul Qorib Perbaungan, Indonesia. Data were collected through participatory observation, interviews, and audio-visual documentation of students’ verbal interaction during formal learning activities and informal peer communication. The analysis was conducted by examining humorous utterances through the six Knowledge Resources of GTVH: Script Opposition, Logical Mechanism, Situation, Target, Narrative Strategy, and Language. The findings reveal that students consistently produce structured forms of verbal humor, including riddle-based humor, metaphorical humor related to learning content, light peer-directed teasing, situational humor, and media-influenced digital humor. These forms emerged from recurring configurations of script opposition and logical mechanisms adapted to age-appropriate language and classroom contexts. This study contributes to applied linguistic research on child humor and extends the application of GTVH to naturally occurring discourse in Indonesian Islamic elementary school settings.

Abstract

This research investigates the strategic intersection of morphological theory and commercial branding by examining the linguistic mechanisms behind 50 global consumer brands. The primary objective is to analyze the derivational processes and creative word-formation strategies that facilitate brand distinctiveness. Utilizing a mixed-method approach supported by a corpus-based analysis, this study evaluates the structural patterns and functional impact of various linguistic innovations. Drawing on frameworks of derivational morphology and advertising management, the findings reveal that non-standard linguistic strategies are pivotal for establishing market resonance. Statistical data from the processed corpus indicate that compounding is the most dominant process (44%), followed by coining/acronyms (26%) and blending (24%), while standard derivation remains minimal at 6%. The analysis demonstrates that brands frequently employ "language games" to optimize phonetic appeal and semantic density. This study concludes that morphological creativity is a vital instrument within the contemporary linguistic landscape, providing a unique "creative experience" that differentiates commercial entities in a competitive global market.

Abstract

Language variation, particularly in accent, reflects how cultural and linguistic backgrounds shape communication. This study aims to analyze accent variation used by the members of the Ueno Family in their YouTube channel as a reflection of bilingual interaction and identity. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were obtained from several vlog episodes through observation and transcription, focusing on pronunciation, intonation, and accent interference. The results show that the Japanese father demonstrates Japanese accent characteristics when speaking Indonesian, such as vowel length and /r/ articulation, while the Indonesian mother displays traces of Indonesian accent when speaking English. These findings indicate that accent variation in the Ueno Family vlog not only represents linguistic differences but also reveals how language functions as a marker of cultural identity in a multilingual and digital context.
