Abstract

Language serves not only as a medium for conveying information but also plays a role in shaping experiences, interpersonal relationships, and social reality. In daily life, utterances such as promises, apologies, admissions, criticisms, and expressions of support can yield consequences that transcend their literal meanings. This phenomenon is increasingly relevant in contemporary society, characterized by intense interpersonal and digital communication and a growing awareness of the social and emotional impacts of language use. This study aims to understand how individuals perceive the power of words and experience speech acts as part of the process of constructing reality in everyday life. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed to explore participants’ subjective experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with individuals possessing reflective insights into the impact of utterances on social relationships and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results reveal three primary patterns of meaning: words as shapers of self-understanding; language as a medium for building and repairing interpersonal relationships; and the tension between the power of utterances and the need for tangible action. The findings indicate that the power of language is relational, contextual, and interpretive; words do not automatically alter reality but participate in the process of change through the interaction of speaker, recipient, experience, action, and social context. Theoretically, this study enriches the understanding of Speech Act Theory by positioning the recipient’s experience as a crucial dimension in the success of speech acts. Practically, the study underscores the importance of reflective communication literacy in education, social relationships, and digital spaces.

Abstract

This study examines (1) what types of figurative language are found in the selected song lyrics, and (2) what are the literal and non-literal meanings of the figurative language identified. The primary data were collected through documentation from Spotify and analyzed using two complementary theoretical frameworks: Geoffrey Leech's (1981) framework of conceptual meaning for the analysis of literal meaning, and Lakoff and Johnson's (2003) Conceptual Metaphor Theory for the analysis of non-literal meaning. The findings reveal that a total of 25 figurative expressions were identified across the five selected songs, encompassing five types: metaphor (48%), hyperbole (20%), irony (12%), symbolism (12%), and allusion (8%), with metaphor emerging as the most dominant type at 48%. Simile and personification were not identified in the selected data. The analysis of literal and non-literal meanings further reveals that the figurative expressions carry both fixed denotative meanings at the literal level and rich layers of abstract emotional significance at the non-literal level. Additionally, three types of conceptual metaphors were identified: structural, orientational, and ontological, with structural metaphors being the most dominant.

Abstract

The development of digital communication has transformed the ways in which young people build relationships, express emotions, and manage interpersonal impressions through language. In interactions that take place without physical presence, politeness is determined not only by word choice but also by context, social proximity, the use of emojis and punctuation, and the recipient’s interpretation of messages. This phenomenon is important to examine because differences in the interpretation of digital messages may lead to misunderstandings and affect the quality of social relationships. This study aims to explore young people’s experiences and interpretations of language politeness practices in digital interactions and to identify the strategies they employ to maintain interpersonal relationships. The study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The participants consist of 15–20 young people, particularly university students in Indonesia, who have active experience communicating through digital media. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, observations of digital interactions voluntarily provided by participants, and supporting documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal three main themes: strategies for maintaining others’ feelings through language choice, the use of emojis and punctuation as markers of emotional nuances, and the negotiation of politeness based on social proximity and interactional context. These findings demonstrate that digital politeness is contextual, relational, and dynamic. Theoretically, the study strengthens the understanding of relational work in digital spaces, while practically, it provides implications for the development of digital literacy, pragmatic awareness, and more ethical communication education.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming academic writing and challenging conventional understandings of authorship, linguistic competence, and academic voice. This study explores the linguistic characteristics of AI-generated and human-written academic texts and examines writers’ perceptions of authorship, linguistic voice, and AI-mediated writing. A qualitative case study involved 12 lecturers and postgraduate students in an Indonesian higher education context with experience writing academic texts in English and using generative AI. Data were collected through analyses of human-written and comparable AI-generated texts and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis using a corpus-informed qualitative approach focused on lexical, syntactic, discourse, metadiscourse, and authorial-voice patterns. Four themes emerged: negotiation of authorship, tension between linguistic smoothness and human voice, formulaic academic language, and AI’s shifting role from writing tool to writing partner. The findings suggest that linguistic sophistication does not necessarily indicate authorial authenticity. Instead, AI-mediated writing is better understood as a continuum of linguistic mediation rather than a binary distinction between human and machine production. The study connects corpus linguistics, metadiscourse, and authorial voice to conceptualize linguistic agency in AI-mediated academic discourse. It also highlights the need for AI literacy and writing pedagogy that prioritizes critical evaluation, rhetorical agency, and responsibility for academic language.

Abstract

Roots and Stories Bilingual Short Stories on Culture and Local Identity is a bilingual literacy product that connects English learning with local cultural meanings and identity creation. This essay explores ten short-story texts with Critical Literacy as the predominant lens of analysis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as the complementary lens to analyse language patterns and meaning-making. The analysis focuses on the cultural representation, the local identity, the voice and positioning, the bilingual meaning, and recurring patterns of NLP orientation such as framing, reframing, presupposition, sensory language, anchoring, metaphor, and generalisation. The findings suggest that local identity is not given as a permanent cultural designation, but through family interactions, food, place, memory, language, tradition and shifting generational perspectives. The bilingual style also provides a room for negotiating cultural meanings as culturally distinctive expressions cannot often be entirely transferred from Indonesian and English. The stories demonstrate contradictions between tradition and modernity, between local and global perspectives, and between preservation and transformation, from a Critical Literacy perspective. NLP provides a reflective vocabulary to ask how wording could structure attention and subjective interpretation. NLP is approached cautiously as assertions that linguistic patterns directly dictate cognition or conduct remain debated in the academic literature. This paper presents a text-based strategy for integrating critical cultural reading with reflective language analysis in bilingual literacy resources.

Abstract

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence has created new forms of communication between users and conversational AI, particularly in academic and creative contexts. This study investigates the relationship between emotional literacy, NLP-based rapport building, and ChatGPT-mediated creative communication, with particular attention to the role of rapport building in connecting emotional competencies with creative communication outcomes. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design consisting of a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental phase followed by a qualitative phase. Participants were 50 university students with previous experience using ChatGPT for academic or creative writing activities, and data were collected through self-report scales measuring emotional literacy, NLP-based rapport building, and creative communication, followed by an open-ended reflective question. The quantitative phase was designed to examine changes and relationships among the three constructs using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, Pearson correlations, and mediation analysis, while qualitative responses were analyzed thematically. The findings presented in the study indicate a positive pattern across emotional literacy, NLP-based rapport building, and creative communication, with the proposed model suggesting that NLP-based rapport building may mediate the relationship between emotional literacy and creative communication. The study highlights the importance of combining emotional awareness with adaptive communication strategies when using ChatGPT for creative purposes and suggests that effective human-AI communication should be understood as a human-centered process rather than as a purely technical interaction. However, the reported numerical results are illustrative and require validation through actual participant data before definitive empirical conclusions can be established.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of figurative language, uncover hidden meanings, and determine the most dominant type of figurative language in the song lyrics of Niki Zefanya’s Nicole (2022) album. The method employed is descriptive qualitative with a documentation technique applied to the lyrics of 12 songs within the album, data analysis was conducted by integrating the figurative language theory of Laurence Perrine (1977) and the semantic analysis framework of Geoffrey Leech (1981). The result of the study revealed 23 figurative language expressions classified into eight types: metaphor, hyperbole, simile, personification, symbolism, irony, paradox, and understatment. Metaphor emerged as the most dominant type of figurative language used, accounting for 26.1%, followed by hyperbole at 17.4%. The hidden meanings embedded in the lyrics reflect profound emotional feelings surrounding teenage nostalgia, the pain of heartbreak, geographical alienation, matury gaps, and the cross-cultural identity dynamics of a diaspora artist. This study concludes that figurative language in the Nicole album is not merely a lyrical aesthetic ornament, but serves as a primary cognitive instrument and semantic medium to structure abstract emotional experiences into concrete expressions.
