Abstract

A Little Life is a novel by Hanya Yanagihara published in 2015. The novel describes how traumatic experiences in the past significantly affect the mental and physical condition of the main character, Jude. This study aims to identify the symbols that form an organic unity in the development of the novel's central themes. This research uses the close reading method with the New Criticism approach introduced by John Crowe Ransom. The results of the analysis show that there are various important symbols in the novel that collectively reinforce the themes and messages conveyed. These include scars, razors, books, mirrors, wheelchairs, ice cream, Willem's presence, blood, the color brown, bathrooms, paintings, long-sleeved clothes, and Jude himself. All these symbols are interconnected and work in concert to build an organic unity in the literary work, which ultimately reinforces the main themes of trauma, resilience, queer suffering, and friendship.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how emojis are used in digital communication, particularly in usernames, to represent social identity within the Kpop Idol, NCT Dream fandom (NCTzens). The study focused on usernames found in the comment section of the official NCT Dream Twitter account during the fans meeting <Dream Quest> with NCTzens Day 1 on May 24, 2025, at 10:00 PM. The study applied Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) by Susan C. Herring (2004) as the main theoretical framework, supported by Social Identity by Tajfel and Turner (1979) and the Indexicality Theory by Buncholtz and Hall (2005) which analysis examines how emojis relate to identity. The data consisted of 88 usernames containing emojis, which were analyzed to identify which emojis functioned as social identity markers and which served just as decorative elements. The findings reveal that emojis in usernames have dual functions, first they as a social identity marker, indexing fandom identity, symbolic attachment to NCT Dream and associations with specific members, and second is as decorative elements, used for aesthetic enhancement without identify significance. The study identifies 10 types of emojis in usernames account distributed across animal, nature, and activity. In conclusion, this study shows that the use of emojis in usernames within the NCT Dream fan community reflects both sociolinguistic identity construction and aesthetic expression. Emojis therefore play a significant role as linguistic features in computer-mediated communication, shaping how online fan communities display belonging, identity, and symbolic meaning.

Abstract

This research examines postmodern elements in AI Dungeon, an AI-generated interactive fiction platform, through the lens of Fredric Jameson’s theory of postmodernism and Tzvetan Todorov’s narrative theory of equilibrium. The study aims to identify the Postmodern elements of AI Dungeon in the AI writings, with elements such as fragmentation, intertextuality, crisis of historicity, and the waning of affect, while also looking the way at AI constructs the structure of the narratives. Using two AI-generated stories, Knight and Chosen One, as primary data, the research analyzes narrative progression, emotional expression, and the process of creation dynamics between the player and the AI system. The findings reveal that AI is able to construct human-like narratives and emotions, while also including the instability of postmodernism, as can be seen in how it demonstrates fragmented storylines, a flexible authorship, and non-linear progression. Further in the study, findings of elements of Todorov’s equilibrium model are present; they appear in different tellings, written as a cycle of unresolved forms that reflect the uncertainty of postmodern storytelling. These findings indicate that AI Dungeon does not merely simulate traditional storytelling but transforms classical narrative structures into a hybrid form of digital literature, where meaning is continuously shaped through interaction between human agency and algorithmic processes.

Abstract

This study examines the move structure and communicative purposes of introduction sections in lecturers’ presentations in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) classes. The research was conducted in three International Management courses at the Faculty of Economics and Business. A Qualitative method supported by descriptive statistics was used. The data consisted of twelve audio-recorded lecture introductions delivered by three lecturers, analyzed using a move structure framework adapted from Carter (2005), together with the concept of communicative purpose from Swales (1999). A questionnaire was also distributed to 23 students to explore their perspectives on the clarity and engagement of these introductions. The findings show that two main moves, Listener orientation and Content Orientation, appeared in all twelve introductions, indicating that both were obligatory within the dataset. Within Listener orientation, only the greeting step occurred consistently, while within Content Orientation, outlining the lecture structure was the most consistent step. Three new steps were identified: giving announcements, taking attendance, and organizing students' presentations, suggesting that lecturers in this EMI context adapt their introductions to practical classroom demands. Most students (78%) agreed that the introductions given by their lecturers were clear and helped them feel prepared for the lesson. These results suggest that a well-structured introduction is indeed meaningful and supports students' comprehension in EMI classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the persistence of medieval oral traditions among the destitute as recorded in George Orwell’s 1933 memoir, Down and Out in Paris and London. The primary objective is to analyze how these faint echoes from the Middle Ages function as a subterranean culture that preserves historical memory and communal identity outside of formal education. The methodology employs a Qualitative Textual Analysis grounded in New Historicism and Folkloristics. This approach treats the text as an ethnographic record, categorizing scraps of history, linguistic cant, and narrative revisions to understand their role in social survival. The main outcomes reveal that the tramp community acts as a living archaeological site. Linguistic fossils like deaner and kip indicate a direct lineage from medieval sources. Furthermore, results show that tramps engage in narrative revisionism—such as amending the Gilderoy legend to include a happy ending —and utilize historical myths like the "one bite law" to frame their suffering as part of an ancient struggle against aristocratic oppression. The conclusions indicate that these oral traditions are a byproduct of poverty’s annihilation of the future. Deprived of the written word, the marginalized mind reverts to a communal chain of speech that maintains human dignity through intellectual liberty. Ultimately, these echoes prove that the destitute are not a resourceless mob, but the reluctant guardians of a rich, epic tradition that modern industrial civilization has discarded as nonsense.

Abstract

This study analyzed Taylor Swift's expressive speech acts in The Ellen Show. This study aims to identify the categories of expressive speech and the adjectives manifested in the expressive speech acts to convey her emotions or feelings. The data were taken from three interview videos and analyzed using Ronan’s (2015) categories of expressive speech acts and Sinclair et al. (2017) for the types and functions of adjectives. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. From a total of 62 data, seven categories of expressive speech were identified in Taylor Swift conversations with Ellen. They are agreement, disagreement, volition, thanking, non-directed complaints in exclamations, expressing sorrow, and greetings. The most frequently used category is agreement, with a percentage 29,04%. This reflects Taylor's humble, polite, and respectful personality. While qualitative adjectives are the most dominant type of adjectives used with a percentage of 65,71%. This shows that Taylor often conveys her personal feelings and experiences in new music promotion, her past viral moments, and personal revelations emotionally and deeply.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the construction of women’s identity through the multimodal representation in Chiara Ferragni’s Instagram post with the Multimodal Discourse Analysis approach by Kress & van Leeuwen (2006), together with supporting theories including Abidin's (2017) strategy of authenticity in influencer culture, Manovich's (2016) digital aesthetic, and Bourdieu's (1984) cultural capital. The data in the form of photos and captions were analyzed based on the visual aspect, including the composition, gaze, pose, lighting, color, filter, and the textual aspect, such as the caption, hashtags, mentions, and emojis. The findings of the study indicate that Ferragni’s identity was formed by the multifaceted multimodal strategy, where the visual elements typically highlight glamour, social status, and cultural legitimacy. Meanwhile, the caption is an element of textual reinforcement of the meaning via anchorage and appraisal metafunctions. The researcher establishes that the women's representation, specifically Chiara Ferragni, on Instagram was constructed by a planned multimodal construction, which displays women as modern figures with glamorous, authentic, and influential in digital culture.

Abstract

The increasing influence of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) has significantly reshaped advertising strategies in Indonesia, where Korean celebrities are frequently employed as brand ambassadors to strengthen consumer engagement and emotional appeal. This study investigates the multimodal construction of emotional meaning in the Roma Kelapa television advertisement featuring the Korean actor, Lee Min Ho. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study adopts Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) based on the framework of Kress and van Leeuwen to analyze the interplay of linguistic, visual, gestural, and auditory modes. The data consist of a 30-second Roma Kelapa advertisement, with analysis focusing on verbal expressions, written text, gaze, facial expressions, gestures, camera techniques, color composition, and product representation. The findings reveal that emotional meaning is not produced by a single communicative mode but emerges from the integration of verbal and non-verbal semiotic resources. Linguistically, evaluative slogans and conversational expressions position Roma Kelapa as a symbol of appreciation, family affection, and product excellence. Visually, direct gaze, warm facial expressions, close-up shots, harmonious color schemes, and culturally recognizable celebrity imagery foster intimacy, trust, and authenticity. Furthermore, Lee Min Ho's public persona functions as a multimodal semiotic resource that enhances the advertisement's persuasive and emotional impact within the Indonesian cultural context.
