Abstract

This article explores how Rick Riordan applies the literary concept of pastiche and defamiliarization in his novel The Sword of Summer (2015). The study focuses on how elements of Norse mythology are blended with contemporary settings and characters to create a fresh and unfamiliar reading experience. Guided by Viktor Shklovsky’s theory of defamiliarization and Fredric Jameson’s idea of pastiche, the analysis reveals that the protagonist Magnus Chase and supporting character Samirah Al-Abbas are constructed through a fusion of ancient myth and modern identity. The appearance of mythological symbols such as the sword Sumarbrander, the fire giant Surt, and the reinterpretation of Valhalla as a high-tech hotel also represent a deliberate artistic choice that renews readers’ perceptions of traditional myth. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study concludes that Riordan’s work challenges conventional depictions of heroes and mythology by encouraging readers to see both ancient narratives and present-day realities in unfamiliar ways. In addition to being attractive to modern readers, this combination of nostalgia and innovation can also present a new experience through the technique of literary defamiliarization.

Abstract

Integrating short movies seems to be interesting and exciting in English English-speaking classroom. This research was aimed at investigating the effect of short movies with a retelling technique on English-speaking achievement. Six research questions were tailored to predict. A quasi-experimental research design, which was merely concerned with the comparison group research design, was used in this research. Purposive sampling was employed in which consisted of twenty-eight participants, as the population, with equal size comprising fourteen participants, respectively. An English-speaking assessment as the instrumentation was performed with an analytical scoring rubric used to collect the data of EFL learners’ speaking performance. The research process was successfully done to answer the six predicted research questions. In conclusion, using a short movie with a retelling technique gave significant improvement on EFL learners’ English speaking analytically and holistically, as the p-value was lower than the conventional level of significance. Besides, the percentage distribution to respective aspects of speaking was fluency (88.7%), vocabulary (7.5%), pronunciation (2.1%), comprehension (.7%), and grammar (.6%). Some thorough and systematic conclusions and pedagogical implications were tactfully written out.

The objectives of this research are to analyze the use of positive politeness strategies and the number of positive politeness strategies found in Mark and Eric Nam's podcast using the theory of Brown and Levinson. This research is designed using a qualitative descriptive method, which involves explaining the utterances and purpose of the conversation in Mark and Eric Nam's podcast, related to positive politeness strategies. Research data was obtained from the episode of "Mark of NCT 127 Naver Stops Talking, Can Anyone 'Fact Check' This Convo? Twenty-six data points of positive politeness strategies are found on the podcast. The results show, the most frequent politeness strategies are strategy 2: Exaggerate (interest, approval, sympathy with Hearer), 8 data. Strategy 3: Intensify interest in Hearer 6 data. Furthermore, Strategy 5: Seek Agreement 4 data. Strategy 4: Use in-group identity markers 3 data. Strategy 1: Notice, attend to Hearer (interests, wants, needs, goals), 1 data. Strategy 11: Be optimistic 1 data. And then, Strategy 15: Give gifts to Hearer (good, sympathy, understanding, cooperation) 1 data.

Abstract

Code-mixing is part of linguistics. Many people use code-mixing in everyday conversation, for example, often found when in a mall, supermarket, or restaurant. Code-mixing is the use of one language unit in another language. Code-mixing occurs when the speaker enters a foreign language into a more dominantly used language. Besides, the urge to code-switch between Indonesian and English in restaurants in Indonesia is driven by various linguistic, social, and cultural factors. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in urban areas and tourist hotspots, where English is increasingly integrated into everyday conversations.  This research uses descriptive qualitative method to investigate the use of code-mixing applied by waiters and customers at Pizza Hut Gunung Sahari. As a result of the analysis, it can be found that there are two types of code-mixing used in conversations between waiters and customers at Pizza Hut Gunung Sahari. The writer also found six reasons of code-mixing: Bilingualism, Speaker and Partner Speaking, Social Community, Situation, Vocabulary and Prestige. Based on Khairuna’s theory, using Code-mixing can increase knowledge in other languages, and if overeating is used, it will have a harmful effect because the speaker will always rely on code-mixing and can change the speaker's accent.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between language and socio-cultural structure by comparing the inaugural speeches of President Joko Widodo (2014) and Prabowo Subianto (2024) through the lens of Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The research seeks to answer the following questions: (1) How are linguistic choices used to represent the leaders’ political vision? (2) What ideologies are embedded in their speeches? and (3) How do discourse practices reflect broader socio-cultural contexts? The findings indicate that Joko Widodo’s inaugural address foregrounded the ideology of populist nationalism through emphasis on “hard work,” “mutual cooperation,” and “unity,” reflecting an image of collective struggle and inclusivity. In contrast, Prabowo Subianto’s speech articulated an ideology of authoritative reformism, marked by discourses of corruption eradication, food self-sufficiency, and “polite democracy,” which positioned him as a strong leader seeking order, moral authority, and national sovereignty. While Jokowi’s discourse leaned toward constructing solidarity among the people, Prabowo’s discourse sought legitimacy through the language of discipline and protection of national dignity. These results demonstrate that inaugural speeches not only present policy directions but also construct ideological positions that shape political legitimacy.
