Abstract

This study discusses the conceptual metaphor employed in the second and final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The debate revolved around each candidate's arguments regarding the advantages and disadvantages of their presidential candidacy. The research focuses on analyzing the meaning and various types of Conceptual Metaphors, namely Ontological Metaphor, Structural Metaphor, and Orientational Metaphor. A qualitative descriptive method was utilized to analyze the data, which was collected from the YouTube Channel featuring the debates. The researcher observed and studied the videos of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden's second and final presidential debates. The data was analyzed using Lakoff and Johnson's theory (2003). The study concludes that three types of conceptual metaphors were present in the debates. A total of 16 instances of conceptual metaphors were identified, including seven ontological metaphors, two structural metaphors, and seven orientational metaphors. While the ontological metaphor was the most prevalent, its meaning was not straightforward to interpret.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the use of function words, verbal mimicry, and non-verbal language styles in assessing the alignment of language styles between individuals. The film "To All the Boys I Have Loved Before" (2018) was chosen as the subject of analysis, as it depicted social dynamics that resembled real-life situations on a smaller scale. By employing the Language Style Matching theory proposed by Bowen et al. (2017), the researcher successfully identified significant matches and consistent outcomes in relation to the film's conclusion. The research approach employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, allowing for the analysis of data while providing in-depth explanations. The study utilized a Mixed Method Research (MMR) approach and yielded a final Language Style Matching score of 0.91 for verbal mimicry, indicating a nearly perfect match. Two categories of Language Style Matching emerged from the analysis, namely verbal and non-verbal mimicry. The researcher identified twelve instances of non-verbal mimicry in the film, including six motor movements, three postures, two facial expressions, and one gaze. The findings of this study revealed that the main characters in "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," namely Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean, exhibited mutual interest and compatibility.

Abstract

The open debate between monocentric and plurecentric concepts on pronunciation makes this research carried out. Monocentric is the concept which tends to emphasize an English learning approach for non-native speakers based on standard English or anglo-american style and believes in the existence of error sounds, while plurecentric considers the errorneous as the variety of English instead of error sounds. However, the researcher only tried to investigate the error, which sounded particularly phonetic, by taking 10 Bimanese college students. 50 words were given to the participants, and the record test was used during the pronunciation test. This test became the data to answer what phonetic errors were produced by Bimanese EFL learners using error analysis in the form of qualitative method and descriptive analysis. The communication problems that were caused by phonetic errors were identified as well becoming the second research question to be answered. This was done considering the relationship between intelligibility and pronunciation. The communication processes of two Bimanese Youtubers with foreigners were investigated for understanding the phenomenon of intelligibility and pronunciation using observation tests on four video vlogs. The findings showed that vowels were the most deviated errors produced by Bimanese. The deviation that occurred was barely caused by fossilization and mother tongue interference; the illiteracy of the participants in the pronunciation and the inconsistency of English sound systems took the most. Eventually, the researcher discovered misunderstandings and a lack of confidence that were caused by phonetic errors in the communication process.

Abstract

The researcher conducted an analysis of the word-formation of beauty-related terms used in Yaongyi's Webtoon "True Beauty." The primary objective was to identify the morphological processes involved in creating these beauty terms within the storyline. The study utilized qualitative methods, with the researcher as the main instrument, collecting data on various words and phrases related to beauty found throughout the Webtoon. In total, the researcher identified 62 beauty terms from the selected episodes and subsequently categorized them according to word-formation processes proposed by O'Grady (1997) and Yule (2010). Six main word-formation processes were identified: compounding, derivation, clipping, borrowing, conversion, and backformation. Among these, compounding was found to be the most prevalent method of word formation for beauty terms in the "True Beauty" Webtoon. The study revealed that compounding was the dominant process for forming beauty terms in the Webtoon "True Beauty," which differed from a previous investigation that focused on technology terms in other Webtoons and showed a prevalence of process affixes. These findings suggest that language styles can be influenced by specific subject fields. Furthermore, the researcher discovered several new terms not present in standard dictionaries like Oxford or Cambridge, highlighting the creative and innovative language use within the context of the Webtoon.

Abstract

Hero is an individual or a group of people overcoming obstacles and dangers to accomplish some critical or moral missions. They would often receive the favors of one or more people as a kind of side benefit (Cawelti, 1976). In this study, the researcher analyzed Cyrus Smith's character in Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island to get a comprehensive understanding of the hero's character as well as the efforts the character provided as a hero. This study was a part of literary criticism as the researcher studied and analyzed a literary work using structuralism and Cawelti’s adventure formula (1976). There were four formulas introduced by Cawelti, covering adventure, romance, mystery, and melodrama. However, the researcher chose to specifically apply the adventure formula to analyze the hero character in The Mysterious Island written by Jules Verne. The result of the study showed that Cyrus Smith was an ordinary hero whose characteristics were portrayed through his actions, dialogs, and the author’s narration. The portrayal of the ordinary hero went in line with Cawelti’s definition of ordinary hero, namely someone who had more ability than the others in his group and gained favors from other people. Meanwhile, the efforts to make his friends survive contained providing comfort, obtaining food, making medicine, sharing knowledge, providing safety, and manufacturing tools. As the researcher focused only on Cyrus character in Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, the researcher suggested that other researchers analyzed Cyrus character using the same theory, enriching the data of the present study. However, the researcher also suggested future researchers to study other characters in this novel using other literary theories.

The objective of this research was to elucidate the diverse causes of alienation depicted in the novel "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." Analyzing the reasons for alienation in this literary work could provide deeper insights into how war and human atrocities impact an individual's mental well-being. It also contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the theme of alienation in literary research. The research employed a literature study approach with a psychological perspective, drawing on Erich Fromm's concept of alienation. The primary data source for this study was the novel "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne, focusing on character dialogues and the author's narration within the story units. The novel, published on 5 January 2006, consists of 216 pages. To analyze the data, the researcher collected, reviewed, identified, organized, and drew conclusions from the gathered information.

These causes included alienation arising from interactions with other people, alienation resulting from societal factors, and alienation stemming from internal struggles within themselves. The exploration of these aspects shed light on the complex psychological impacts of alienation amidst the backdrop of war and its atrocities in the narrative of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
