Abstract

This study examines the application of positive politeness methods in the YouTube comment area of Kendrick Lamar’s "Money Trees" music video, grounded in Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Theory. The study used a qualitative descriptive methodology to investigate the ways in which viewers convey admiration, emotion, and social connection in digital interactions. The data were collected from specific YouTube comments utilizing Sudaryanto’s (2015) observational method and were examined pragmatically. The findings indicate that commenters employ four categories of positive politeness strategies: Exaggerate (Interest, Approval, or Sympathy), Notice and Attend to the Hearer, Presuppose, Assert, or Raise Common Ground, and Intensify Interest to the Hearer. The Exaggerate technique is the most common of these, which means that fans often use over-the-top and passionate language to indicate how much they love the singer and the music. The employment of these tactics shows how language in digital spaces may bring people together, make them feel closer to each other, and make the online community more courteous and helpful. This study verifies that positive politeness is crucial in sustaining peaceful interactions within YouTube-based communication. Key words: Pragmatics, Positive Politeness, YouTube Comments, Kendrick Lamar, Money Trees

Abstract

This study investigates how politeness strategies and conversational structures shape Tom Lembong’s political communication style in the What Is Up, Indonesia? podcast. Integrating Leech’s (2014) Politeness Principle and Yule’s (1996) Conversational Analysis (CA), the research aims to identify the types of politeness maxims employed and examine how conversational features contribute to constructing Tom’s political persona. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were drawn from Tom Lembong’s utterances in a 40-minute YouTube interview. The analysis identified seven politeness maxims, with the Agreement Maxim occurring most frequently (22), followed by Approbation (11), Opinion Reticence (11), Tact (10), Modesty (10), Sympathy (5), and Feeling Reticence (4). Conversational features were also found throughout the interaction, dominated by Feedback (12), Turn-Taking (8), Repair (8), Sequence (6), and Action Formation (5). The findings reveal that Tom’s political persona is constructed through the synergy of politeness and conversational organization. His frequent use of agreement, praise, humility, and cautious opinion expression, combined with smooth turn-taking, responsive feedback, and effective repair, produces an image of a calm, respectful, and approachable political figure. This study contributes to digital political discourse research by demonstrating that politeness is not only reflected in lexical choices but also embedded in interactional structure. It further shows how political identities are strategically shaped in contemporary online media, suggesting opportunities for future comparative studies across different political actors and platforms.

Abstract

The use of various technologies in vocational high schools in response to the need for graduates to have digital and English skills have changed English instruction even more. This study attempts to analyze the issues and the possibilities that both educators and learners face as they use digital technologies in English teaching. This study is limited to five English teachers in vocational high schools in West Sulawesi, Indonesia. This case study employed qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews and ATLAS.ti 24 software was used for data analysis. Findings showed that the teachers face several issues including the lack of technology, poor and unreliable internet, limited assistance, and different amounts of digital skills students have. Nevertheless, the study also showed that teachers' use of different digital technologies and more varied methods of teaching English motivated students to become involved and participate in English learning more than they have in the past. In addition to this, more skilled teachers are better able to adapt their material to fit vocational contexts and therefore increase relevancy to students’ future workplace outcomes, as this study has shown. The study adds to the knowledge base by showing that the successful application of digital technologies in vocational English education is not only a question of existing digital technologies and infrastructure, but also of ongoing professional digital pedagogical training and educational organizational support. The authors of the study are suggesting that digital infrastructures are available, that there are ongoing training efforts, and that there is a balanced provision of digital tools and resources for educators. These steps are required to take full advantage of digital technologies for teaching and learning English in vocational secondary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the Sorong Serah Aji Krame tradition is represented in Nuriadi’s novel Merpati Kembar di Lombok and compare it with its actual implementation in South Montong Baan Village. The research findings indicate that in the MKL novel, the author narrates the Sorong Serah Aji Krame ceremony using the term "serah doe/ngadep," without providing detailed explanation of its procession. However, in several sections, such as the preparation of the pembayun and the depiction of the pembayun chanting process, brief descriptions are offered. Conversely, in actual practice in South Montong Baan Village, the ceremony exhibits genuine complexity comprising the delegation of pisolo (emissary), religious greetings, customary greetings, the main ceremony, the pronouncement of aji krame (dowry), the handover of aji krame, the cutting of the Jinnah rope, and the closing ceremony. Meanwhile, several cultural symbolic meanings are embedded within the tradition, encompassing values of politeness, spirituality, honesty, and transparency.

Abstract

This research explores the application of positive politeness tactics during the conversation between Jimmy Fallon and Angelina Jolie on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This study aims to classify the types of positive politeness strategies employed by each speaker and to demonstrate how both speakers used different forms of positive politeness in their dialogue. This study employed a qualitative methodology, gathering data from a publicly accessible YouTube video and examining the conversational data through the lens of Brown and Levinson's (1987) positive politeness theory related to language and the application of Language Forms or Argument Forms. As part of the analysis process, a detailed examination of the conversational exchanges between the two parties was conducted to identify and characterize instances of positive politeness, using language constructs such as words and phrases that reflect positive politeness. Out of the total 24 instances of data collected, 12 were identified as being specific positive politeness strategies used by one or the other conversational partner. The most frequently employed positive politeness strategy identified in the analysis was 'exaggeration,' which was identified five times. This discovery relates to the purpose of exaggeration as a means of demonstrating appreciation, approval and empathy for another person. From the information above, it is evident that positive politeness plays a crucial role when celebrities are interviewed in a casual and friendly way; moreover, there is scope for different approaches to leverage positive politeness as a means to foster an engaging and supportive atmosphere in interactions with others.

Abstract

This study explores the emotional experiences of the main characters in the film Hello Goodbye and Everything in Between (2022) by applying David Krech’s theory of emotion classification. The central question of this research is how Krech’s emotional categories appear in the characters and how these emotions shape the psychological dimension of the storyline. The aim is to identify the emotions expressed by the characters and to describe how these emotions influence their conflicts their decisions and the progression of their relationship. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were gathered through close observation of the film by examining key scenes and dialogues and by organizing the emotional expressions according to Krech’s framework. The findings indicate the seven emotional categories proposed by Krech namely guilt, suppressed guilt, self punishment, sadness, shame, hatred and love are present throughout the film. The study contributes to psychological and literary analysis by showing that Krech’s theory offers a useful lens for understanding the emotional depth of fictional characters and provides insight into the motivations and internal struggles that drive the narrative.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of the emotion regret in the lyrics of Henry Moodie’s song Drunk Text using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research examines eight selected lyric excerpts to highlight the dimensions of text, discourse practice, and social practice. The textual analysis focuses on how lexical choices, modality, pronouns, metaphors, and syntactic structures construct nuances of regret. The findings reveal eight recurring linguistic markers such as “nearly,” “forget it,” “wish,” and “afraid” which emphasize doubt, missed opportunities, and limited courage in communication. At the discourse practice level, the lyrics are produced as conscious linguistic constructions, distributed through digital platforms, and consumed by young audiences as reflections of their emotional experiences. At the social practice level, the lyrics illustrate the fragile communication culture of the digital generation, the ideology of fearful interpersonal relationships, and the role of pop music as a medium for articulating collective emotions.

Abstract

The employment of cohesive devices in the lyrics of Henry Moodie's song "The Drunk Text" is examined in this research utilizing a qualitative descriptive technique, with an emphasis on how cohesion is created and how these devices support the text's unity and meaning. In order to detect cohesive techniques like reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion, the official lyrics were gathered as data and analyzed using Halliday and Hasan's (1976) framework of cohesion. The results indicate that the most common mechanisms are lexical cohesiveness and reference, whereas replacement and ellipsis are less common. These unifying strategies are essential for connecting concepts, preserving thematic coherence, and boosting the lyrics' emotional expressiveness. This work advances the discipline of discourse analysis and offers a deeper knowledge of how cohesion functions in song lyrics as a kind of written discourse by applying cohesion theory to contemporary popular music texts.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is one of the essential skills in English language learning at the high school level at Pendidikan Karya Tangerang. Based on initial observations, it was found that reading comprehension skills, especially in recount texts, are still relatively low. This is characterized by difficulties in understanding the main ideas, detailed information, vocabulary, and the sequence of events in the text. This study aims to analyze the application of the Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) model in improving reading comprehension skills in English recount texts.This study used a pre-test and post-test control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 eleventh-grade students, divided into two groups: an experimental group (30 students) taught using the CSR model and a control group (30 students) taught using conventional learning methods. The results of the pre-test and post-test control showed a significant difference in reading comprehension ability between the experimental class (82,40) and the control class (72,10), indicating that the increase in scores in the experimental class was greater than in the control class. The N-Gain score for the experimental class was in the medium-high category (0,54), while the control class (0,28) was in the medium category.These findings indicate that the CSR model is effective in improving students' English recount text reading comprehension skills. This study is expected to serve as a reference for English teachers in implementing innovative and effective collaborative learning models

Abstract

This research uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the depiction of dissociative identity disorder (DID) experienced by Kevin in the film “Glass”. The purpose of this study is to examine whether Kevin’s portrayal of DID is in accordance with the diagnostic criteria stated by American Psychiatric Association (2013) in its book entitled "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders". A descriptive qualitative approach is applied because it allows the researcher to interpret scenes, dialogues, and character behaviors in depth without using numerical data. This method is suitable for film analysis since it focuses on meaning, context, and detailed description, as suggested by Sukmadinata (2011). The data were collected through repeated observation of the film, focusing on scenes that show personality changes, emotional reactions, memory gaps, and interactions with other characters. These scenes were then analyzed by comparing Kevin’s behaviors with the DSM diagnostic criteria for dissociative identity disorder. This process helps identify which symptoms are clearly represented in the film. The results show that Kevin’s character fulfills six out of the seven criteria for dissociative identity disorder. These include the presence of multiple distinct personalities, changes in sense of self and behavior, memory disturbances, depersonalization, distorted perception of reality, and difficulty regulating emotional stress. One criterion, related to significant disruption in relationships or career, was not clearly found. The findings suggest that “Glass” presents a strong representation of DID and can be used as a reference for understanding the disorder in popular media, while also encouraging critical discussion about mental health portrayals in films.
