Abstract

Conjunctions are crucial cohesive devices that help establish connections between propositions. It is an integral part of language use, especially in literature. One prominent use of conjunctions in conveying narrative relationships can be seen in the Novel, “November 9”, by Colleen Hoover. This study focuses on causal conjunctions and investigates the types and functions of causal conjunctions in the novel “November 9.” The research employs a library research and qualitative methodology to explore the existing pieces of literature comprehensively. The analysis identifies four distinct causal conjunctions within the Novel. “so” signifies general causal relations, establishing cause-and-effect links between actions or events. It also introduces specific causal relations, elucidating consequences following a preceding statement. “then” represents conditional relations, altering the polarity between positive and negative statements. “because” conveys general respective relations, offering reasons for prior statements. Each causal conjunction uniquely conveys cause-and-effect relationships, consequences, explanations, and reasons throughout the narrative. The study enriches the understanding of causality and conjunctions in literature, shedding light on how they shape logical and cogent sentences. This study is a valuable resource for academics exploring the intricate relationship between causality and conjunctions in “November 9.” By unveiling the nuanced functions of causal conjunctions, it encourages further research into broader implications of conjunction usage in literary works. Ultimately, it underscores the significance of conjunctions in crafting coherent and impactful narratives.

Abstract

This investigation investigates the impact of a two-way conversation strategy on the speaking performance of tenth-grade students at SMA Wirakarya Mandiri Medan. A genuine experimental design was implemented, with 160 students being divided into two groups: an experimental group that implemented the two-way conversation strategy and a control group that implemented conventional teaching methods. The students' speaking performance was assessed in areas such as fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary through pre- and post-tests. The experimental group exhibited substantial improvement in the results, with scores increasing from a pre-test range of 60–79 to a post-test range of 75–89. Conversely, the control group demonstrated negligible improvement, with post-test scores ranging from 61 to 77. The study's results indicate that the two-way conversation strategy substantially improves students' speaking performance in comparison to conventional methods. The results of this study indicate that the two-way conversation strategy can be a successful method for enhancing English-speaking performance in classroom environments, providing educators with a better understanding of more interactive and engaging teaching methods.

Abstract

This study addresses the significance of understanding word formations for consumable items in the game Honkai: Star Rail. While previous literature identifies nine words formation techniques, their application to consumable item names in this game has not been thoroughly explored. To bridge this gap, we compiled 77 consumable item names that are in the game and analyzed it, utilizing in-game resources such as item descriptions. The analysis revealed that 17 items met our criteria for word formation analysis. We found that out of the nine theorized word formation techniques, only five techniques were identified in the word formation of item names. Most of the words used in forming the new consumable item names were associated with the consumable item's function or physical characteristics. However, the result of some names suggested a deeper connection to the game’s in-game lore. This research provides valuable insights into the naming process for objects, particularly in games, demonstrating that object names can carry linguistic or meaningful implications. In conclusion, this study enhances our understanding of word formations in the context of game item names, shedding light on aspects of the naming process, especially the linguistic aspect, and offering an example of a practical application of the naming of objects in differing contexts.
