Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to examine phonological processes and adaptations across various languages, focusing on their influence on language acquisition, literacy development, and second language learning. The research spans from 2019 to 2024, covering recent studies in the field. Databases such as Google Scholar and Crossref were used for the initial search, utilizing tools like Zotero and Publish or Perish. Keywords such as "phonological processes," "language adaptation," "phonological awareness," and "cross-linguistic studies" were employed." A comprehensive search across major databases, including Crossref and Google Scholar, yielded an initial 1,200 articles. Rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, including the removal of duplicates and non-English articles, resulting in 22 articles selected for in-depth analysis. The research synthesizes findings from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Key findings highlight that phonological awareness instruction positively impacts engagement and outcomes in language learning, especially for young learners and those learning a second language. Systematic and explicit instruction in phonological awareness has been shown to significantly improve vocabulary acquisition and speaking skills. Future research should continue exploring the most effective methods for teaching phonological awareness in diverse linguistic contexts, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to develop strong language skills. By addressing these areas, future studies can contribute to refining educational strategies, making phonological awareness instruction more adaptable and impactful across different learning environments.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative analysis of magical realism in the anime “The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes” (2022), with the main goal of identifying the elements of magical realism as depicted in the anime and exploring how these elements shape the overall narrative structure. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study uses Wendy B. Faris’ theory of the five characteristics of Magical Realism to analyze key scenes and dialogues. The analysis confirms the presence of all five characteristics, identifying the Urashima Tunnel as the main “irreducible element,” a magical event set in the “phenomenal world” of Kouzaki City, Japan. “Unsettling doubt” is formed through the absence of any logical or historical explanation for the tunnel’s existence, while “the merging of nature” is demonstrated when the protagonist, Tono, brings his dead parakeet back to the real world alive and physically enters scenes from his past. Finally, the anime features “disruptions of time, space, and identity” through measurable time shifts, the tunnel’s ability to manifest psychological memories as physical space, and Tono’s past and present selves coexisting. The study concludes that these elements fundamentally disrupt the anime’s narrative structure. The narrative does not employ traditional conflict, instead focusing on the characters’ hesitations in using the tunnel.

Abstract

This study analyzes Red Dead Redemption 2 as a modern literary work by examining archetypes and symbolic themes in one of its most emotionally impactful scenes, commonly referred to by players as the "I'm Afraid" moment. Using Carl Jung's theories of archetypes and the process of individuation, the study examines two different versions of this crucial scenario: one with Sister Calderon and the other with Reverend Swanson, both of which demonstrate the main character's moral awakening. This paper uses data from a survey the researcher conducted previously to identify how players experienced the scene and what symbolic elements made it powerful. The study then explores how Red Dead Redemption 2, through its integration of narrative choice, moral consequence, and symbolic storytelling, expands the boundaries of modern literature. Unlike traditional forms, the game enables players to participate directly in the protagonist's emotional and philosophical development, demonstrating how interactivity can heighten literary engagement. By combining narrative depth with player agency, Red Dead Redemption 2 is positioned not merely as a game, but as a compelling example of contemporary literary experience that invites active moral and psychological participation.

Abstract

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) is a Thai film that depicts a young man's journey toward self-actualization amid complex family conflicts. This study analyzes how M's self-actualization shows and the influence of other family members in this process. Applying Abraham Maslow's concept of self-actualization, adapted by Kaufman into the Characteristic of Self-Actualization Scale (CSAS), this study explores M's characteristic development through content analysis, utilizing dialogue and visual elements to reveal the family's influence on M's growth. Findings highlight the vital role of each character as a catalyst and barrier of family Influence factors (including financial and informational support, expectations, and values or beliefs) in triggering M's characteristics, such as acceptance, authenticity, purpose, humanitarianism, and efficient perception of reality. This study concludes that family influence significantly impacts an individual's self-actualization and emotional maturity journey.

Abstract

This research examines the representation of psychological trauma in the main character of the animated series Blue Eye Samurai (2023), with particular focus on the concepts of belatedness of trauma and numbing process as theorized by Cathy Caruth. The study analyzes how trauma is experienced by Mizu and its effects on her behavior and life over time. Using close viewing methods for in-depth textual and visual analysis of each episode, this study identifies how visual and narrative structures convey unresolved trauma and its long-term behavioral impact. The analysis employs the TEEL technique, a systematic approach consisting of four parts: Topic (the main statement), Evidence (scenes or dialogue from the series), Explanation (detailed connection to trauma theory), and Link (connection to Caruth's theory). The findings reveal that Mizu's trauma is fragmented and resurfaces through flashbacks and nightmares, manifesting changes in her behavior and emotional capacity. Mizu experiences emotional numbness that impairs her ability to feel, express, or accept emotions. The study demonstrates how Mizu's unresolved childhood trauma, compounded by adult experiences of betrayal and violence, leads to pervasive emotional detachment that shapes her identity and choices. This research highlights Blue Eye Samurai as a significant case of how contemporary animation engages with trauma, identity, and resilience, offering new dimensions to literary and trauma studies.

Abstract

Throughout history, women have persistently encountered inequity within patriarchal cultures. This study examines gender oppression portrayed in the Vietnamese film Mai (2024), directed by Trấn Thành. Employing Iris Marion Young's Five Faces of Oppression theory (1990), this research analyzes Mai's experiences of gender oppression as a woman in a patriarchal culture, particularly in her role as a widow. The study identifies three of the five forms of oppression encountered by Mai: exploitation, marginalization, and violence, as outlined in Young's oppression theory. Through a visual narrative approach, the findings demonstrate that women who experience gender oppression do not remain passive. Through Mai's character, this research establishes that oppressed women possess the capacity to voice resistance through initiating new romantic relationships, severing toxic family ties, and opening new chapters in their lives by pursuing their aspirations as independent women.

Abstract

This article examines the narrative arc of Sophie, a central character in Soman Chainani's The School for Good and Evil (2013), by mapping her transformation into a villain through the lens of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey framework, also known as the Monomyth. Though traditionally reserved for protagonists, this model is applied here to explore how Sophie's development mirrors the structural path of a hero. Through close literary analysis of the novel, this study identifies thirteen out of Campbell's seventeen hero's journey stages reflected in Sophie's journey. These stages include the Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call, Crossing the First Threshold, Belly of the Whale, Road of Trials, Meeting with the Goddess, Woman as Temptress, Atonement with the Father, Apotheosis, the Ultimate Boon, Magic Flight, Rescue from Without, and Crossing the Return Threshold. The analysis reveals that Sophie's arc is not merely a descent into evil but a transformative process that reconfigures the conventional hero-villain dynamic. Unlike the static villain figures often portrayed in traditional fantasy narratives, Sophie undergoes a complex emotional and psychological transformation shaped by rejection, internal conflict, and ultimately self-awareness. Her journey demonstrates that antagonists, like heroes, can experience meaningful character development structured around recognizable narrative patterns. This reframing invites a broader reconsideration of character roles in fantasy narratives, highlighting how antagonists, too, may undergo meaningful growth that parallels heroic transformation while ultimately serving different thematic functions.

Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of visual stickers as communicative instruments in TikTok comment sections, with particular focus on audience responses to a public figure's clarification video. Adopting a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research examines data collected from three TikTok videos published by Indonesian media outlets in November 2024. The analytical framework is established upon Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic semiotic model alongside Danesi's theoretical perspective on visual language replacement in digital communication. Findings indicate that commenters predominantly select stickers conveying mockery and anger, thereby generating collective patterns of distrust and frustration regarding the video content. Sticker selection additionally operates as a social marker facilitating users' identity expression, whether projecting critical, humorous, or skeptical personas within the interaction. These visual components extend beyond mere emotional expression, serving to establish users' discursive positioning within the broader conversation. The study substantiates that TikTok stickers constitute multimodal semiotic resources that fundamentally influence how individuals articulate attitudes, formulate interpretations, and engage in digital platform interactions. This phenomenon represents a significant transition from text-based communication toward visually-mediated expression in contemporary online discourse.
