Abstract

By employing a descriptive qualitative methodology that involves observations and interviews, this study investigates the difficulties that SD IT ADNANI primary school pupils have pronouncing language. The results demonstrated the range of pronunciation challenges that students encountered, most of which were caused by the phonetics of their home tongue, a deficiency in phonetic awareness, uneven practice, and restricted access to phonological resources. Further contributing factors to less practice  and slower progress were embarrassment and fear of making mistakes. Working together with teachers, parents, students, and the school community  is advised to address this problem. Phonetic education can be incorporated into the curriculum, frequent practice is encouraged, and a supportive learning environment can be established by schools to help students. A cooperative approach is crucial for pupils to overcome pronunciation difficulties and advance their language proficiency overall.

Abstract

This study explores the violation of Grice’s Maxims in a sophomore online academic writing class and examines their implications for student–lecturer interaction dynamics. In the context of online learning, miscommunication is more likely due to the absence of physical cues and asynchronous communication patterns. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with one lecturer and three students selected via purposive sampling. Instances of maxim violations were identified and analyzed using thematic analysis based on Grice’s theoretical framework. The findings revealed that the most frequently violated maxims were Quantity and Manner, often due to vague, minimal, or hesitant student responses. Violations of Relevance and Quality also occurred, especially when responses were off-topic or lacked evidential support. Factors contributing to these violations included linguistic insecurity, abstract question formulation, technical disruptions, and limited non-verbal interaction. Interestingly, the lecturer sometimes intentionally flouted maxims to reduce student anxiety and facilitate participation. These findings highlight the complexity of digital communication and the importance of pragmatic awareness in virtual classrooms. The study underscores the need for adaptive pedagogical strategies that foster clarity, engagement, and mutual understanding. It also contributes to the broader discourse on online pragmatics by illustrating how maxim violations, while seemingly disruptive, can serve functional and pedagogical roles in shaping effective communication within digital academic environments.

Abstract

Comics are not only a medium for visual storytelling, but also rich in implicit meanings communicated through multimodal cues. This research explores how implicatures - unstated but implied meanings - are constructed through the visual expressions of the main characters in Detective Conan Volume 1. Using the Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MMDA) framework, this study investigates the interaction of semiotic modes such as gestures, gaze direction, facial expressions, and panel layout in selected scenes. Ten scenes were purposively selected based on the density of non-verbal cues and their narrative importance. A qualitative-descriptive method was used to analyze how these multimodal elements contribute to the construction of implicit meaning. The findings reveal that non-verbal modes often carry equal or greater communicative weight than verbal texts, especially in revealing characters' emotions and intentions. Visual cues-such as narrowed eyes or directed gaze-are often pragmatic indicators that invite readers to interpret meanings beyond what is explicitly stated. This study confirms the value of comics as authentic multimodal texts for pragmatic analysis. This research shows that comics can be an effective teaching tool in language or pragmatics classes. The integration of multiple modes in comics allows readers to capture meanings that are not directly stated, but implied through multimodal contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the structure and access of the mental lexicon in human memory through the psycholinguistic approach. The current study utilizes the qualitative descriptive approach by conducting a systematic literature review. The result shows that the access of the lexical knowledge is not constant, considering the frequency of the word, the contextual cue, and the meaning relationship, because it affects the language comprehension and production. The result also shows that the mental lexicon is hierarchically organized for effective lexical retrieval when people use language. This article concludes that the knowledge of the structure and the access of the mental lexicon is very significant for language acquisition processes and for the analysis of language disorders, including aphasia and dyslexia.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Natural Language Processing (NLP), has brought together two fundamental disciplines: Psycholinguistics and Computer Science. This research seeks to bridge the theoretical gap between how the human brain processes and generates language (psycholinguistics) and how machines model and replicate these processes (AI). This research employed a comparative-analytical literature review. Data was collected from leading academic journals focused on AI language models (such as Transformer and Large Language Models/LLMs) and theories of human language processing (such as Serial Processing and Connectionist Models). The analysis focused on three main dimensions: lexicon acquisition, syntactic processing, and pragmatic understanding. It was found that while modern AI excels at predicting word order and syntactic structure based on probability (like statistical approaches in cognition), it still falls short of fully replicating semantic processing tied to experience, awareness, and social context (a hallmark of human processing). Current AI models demonstrate impressive speeds in lexical inference but often fail at tasks requiring a theory of mind or a multi-layered understanding of pragmatics. Integrating psycholinguistic principles into AI architectures holds great potential for developing systems that are not only efficient but also more natural and human-like in their interactions. Further research is needed to build AI models that reflect the complex bottom-up and top-down processes in the human brain.
