Abstract

This study aims to analyze representations of ocean issues in French media using a corpus-based discourse analysis approach. By combining Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) and Theo van Leeuwen’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, this study examines how the ocean is discursively constructed in the context of maritime issues. This study adopts Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) to identify lexical patterns through frequency, collocation, and concordance analysis, which are then interpreted using categories of social actor representation such as exclusion, inclusion, activation, and passivation. The research data consists of French media articles focusing on environmental and marine issues. The findings reveal 5 frequent themes in the ocean. The themes are climate crisis, threatened ecosystem, authorities, science, and resources, with the climate crisis as the most frequent, comprising 16 keywords. The sea is also predominantly portrayed as a passive actor and as an affected entity, while human agents are often excluded or represented abstractly through institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the types of alternative questions in Indonesian podcast discourse. Alternative questions consist of two or more propositions that offer a set of choices. Out of 718 questions identified across five podcasts, a total of 34 alternative questions were found. The data were drawn from podcasts available on the YouTube channels of Grace Tahir, dr. Richard Lee, Melaney Ricardo, Deddy Corbuzier, and Denny Sumargo. The theoretical framework employed in this study is based on Quirk et al.’s theory of alternative questions and John Searle’s theory of directive speech acts. The findings reveal three main types of alternative questions: (i) explicit–explicit alternative questions, (ii) explicit–implicit alternative questions, (iii) implicit–explicit alternative questions, and one additional category (iv) contextual implicit alternative orientation. The results indicate that explicit–explicit alternative questions are the most frequently occurring type.

Abstract

This study examines the symbolism of nature in Robert Frost's The Sound of Trees and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The study aims to analyze how natural symbols construct meaning through the processes of denotation, connotation, and myth within Barthes' framework of first- and second-order signification. A qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach was employed. The primary data consist of the two selected poems, while secondary data were obtained from books, journal articles, and relevant literary criticism. The findings reveal that natural elements such as trees, woods, snow, and wind function not merely as descriptions of the physical environment but as symbolic signs that communicate broader cultural and ideological meanings. At the connotative level, these symbols represent ideas of freedom, contemplation, responsibility, personal transformation, and emotional reflection. At the mythological level, the symbols engage with cultural beliefs concerning mobility, self-determination, solitude, purity, and responsibility. However, rather than simply reproducing these cultural myths, Frost's poems also complicate and negotiate them by presenting the tension between personal aspiration and social obligation. The study demonstrates that Barthes' concept of myth provides a useful framework for explaining how ordinary natural imagery operates as a second-order sign system through which cultural values are constructed and critically examined in Frost's poetry.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and classify the language styles of the main character in the film Flipped (2010) and to determine the dominant style using Martin Joos’ (1967) language style theory. The study employs a qualitative, descriptive method. The data comprise 17 utterances made by the main character, collected through repeated observation, transcription, and coding. The analysis follows Joos’ five style categories: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The results show that the main character uses three of the five language styles: the intimate style (7 utterances, 41.2%), the casual style (6 utterances, 35.3%), and the consultative style (4 utterances, 23.5%). No examples of frozen or formal language styles were found; the predominant language style is intimate style, characterized by elliptical structure, high emotional intensity, and the assumption of shared knowledge. This dominance reflects the emotional depth, psychological reflection, and involvement of the main character in intimate personal relationships-elements appropriate for the demanding film genre. The study confirms that the social context, the status of the interlocutor, and the communicative intention suggest a systematic relationship. It contributes to this analysis by applying Joos’s model, which focuses on individual characters within cinematic discourse.
