Abstract

Studying the orderly arrangement and purpose of speech sounds in a language is essential to understanding phonology. Phonemes, the smallest units of sound that define meaning, are the subject of phonology, which also studies how these sounds are patterned and controlled by phonotactics, stress, and intonation. Phonology examines the abstract, conceptual representations of sounds and their language functions, in contrast to phonetics, which examines the physical production and acoustic characteristics of sounds. Identifying phonemes, their allophones (variations), and the principles that explain sound alterations in various contexts—such as assimilation and deletion—are all part of phonological analysis. The flap realization of /t/ and /d/ sounds between vowels and the pronunciation variants of the plural morpheme -s ([s], [z], [ɪz]) are two examples of English phonological rules. All things considered, phonology offers crucial information about how sounds work to transmit meaning and structure in language communication.

Abstract

The use of humor in the classroom has been widely regarded as an effective pedagogical strategy to create a positive learning atmosphere, foster engagement, and reduce student anxiety. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions regarding their teachers’ use of humor during English language instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the researchers collected data through semi-structured questionnaires and follow-up interviews with 30 undergraduate students in the English Education Department at Universitas Rahiscendekia Indonesia. The findings indicate that most participants perceive humor as a helpful tool for enhancing comprehension and maintaining motivation. However, some students expressed concerns about humor that is perceived as inappropriate or excessive. The study highlights that the successful use of humor depends on teachers’ sensitivity to students’ backgrounds and the relevance of humorous content to instructional objectives. Implications suggest the importance of professional development programs to train educators in using humor effectively while maintaining classroom decorum. Additionally, the results reveal that humor contributes to building positive relationships between teachers and students, making instructors appear more approachable and supportive. This relational benefit was especially valued by learners who often experience anxiety in language classrooms. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term effects of humor on academic achievement and to explore its application across diverse cultural and educational contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the textual composition and its pragmatic functions within selected literary works, focusing on how language is structured and meaning is constructed in context. The phenomenon that motivates this research lies in the tendency of literary texts to be appreciated more for their aesthetic value than for their pragmatic dimensions, leaving a gap in understanding how such texts function communicatively in shaping interpretation. Previous studies, such as those by Austin (1962) on speech acts, Leech (1983) on pragmatic principles, and Rahardi (2009) on Indonesian pragmatic politeness, have highlighted the importance of pragmatic functions in discourse. However, limited attention has been given to their application in literary investigations, particularly in the Indonesian context. The problem addressed in this study is the insufficient exploration of pragmatic perspectives in analyzing textual composition in literature. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, analyzing narrative data through pragmatic theories of speech acts, politeness, and implicature. The findings reveal that literary texts demonstrate multiple pragmatic functions, including directive, expressive, and representative acts, embedded within the narrative structure. These functions not only shape character interactions but also reflect cultural and social values conveyed through the text. The study concludes that textual composition in literature operates not only as an artistic arrangement of language but also as a communicative tool that guides readers toward deeper interpretation. The results are expected to contribute to broader discussions in applied linguistics, pragmatics, and literary studies, especially in integrating linguistic and cultural perspectives.
