Abstract

This research analyzes the illocutionary acts of comments on Instagram directed towards soccer players, focusing on Vinicius Junior who posted about racism. The theories used in this research are Searle's (1979) illocutionary act types and Leech's (1983) illocutionary act functions. The purpose of this research is to identify and categorize comments based on their types and functions. The data consists of 201 English comments responding to Vinicius Junior's Instagram post on May 22, 2023, when he voiced his opposition to racism in soccer. The research results indicate that the expressive illocutionary act type is the most dominant (44.28%), followed by assertive (31.84%), directive (17.91%), and commissive (5.97%). No declarative illocutionary acts were found in the dataset. Additionally, the most frequently used illocutionary act function is the convivial function (57.71%), reflecting messages of support and moral encouragement, followed by the conflict function (28.36%), representing hate speech and racist comments, then the collaborative function (7.46%) and lastly the competitive function (6.47%). Expressive illocutionary acts include expressions of feelings such as like, sorrow, praise, and reproach.

Abstract

This study examines Racial Identity, Denial, Repression and Resilience in Danzy Senna's Caucasia. This research identifies how the author depicts Birdie's racial identity development, defense mechanisms, and resilience in responding to social expectations. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, applying Sigmund Freud's "Model of Psyche" and defense mechanisms (Denial and Repression), as well as Emmy Werner's resilience theory, which encompasses three stages: trauma identification, adaptive analysis, and positive transformation. Data are collected from the novel and relevant literature. The results show that Birdie's racial identity develops through internal conflict, balancing id, ego, and superego. Trauma and social pressures affect her resilience development, which is rooted in the dissonance between her authentic self and societal expectations. The study demonstrates how Birdie employs defense mechanisms to cope with racial identity and social expectations. Her journey reflects the psychological struggle of biracial individuals seeking acceptance in racially divided societies.

Abstract

This study examines how Keshi uses metaphors in his album Requiem to express emotions and convey deeper meanings in his lyrics. By analyzing the songs through the lens of Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the research identifies the types of metaphors used and explores what they mean in the context of each song. This study applies Use Theory by Wittgenstein to interpret the meanings of metaphors found in the song lyrics. Using a qualitative approach, the study focuses on three categories of metaphors: Orientational, Ontological, and Structural, to see how they shape the listener’s understanding of the themes and emotions Keshi expresses. The analysis of these metaphorical expressions shows that metaphors play a significant role in shaping the meaning of the lyrics, providing a framework for understanding the feelings and emotions expressed by the singer. This article presents one representative metaphor from each song, selected for its clarity and relevance to the metaphor type. The findings show that metaphorical expressions significantly contribute to the depth and emotional resonance of Keshi’s lyrics.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of women’s empowerment through Clarisse La Rue in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters. The research focuses on the obstacles that hinder Clarisse from empowering herself and the character development she experiences throughout the Golden Fleece quest. Using Betty Friedan’s theory of women empowerment from The Feminine Mystique, this study examines how Clarisse struggles with patriarchal expectations, external pressure, and the need for validation from her father, Ares. This research applies qualitative methods and library research to analyze the novel as the primary source. The findings reveal that Clarisse initially embodies aggressive and competitive traits shaped by patriarchal expectations, yet gradually develops self-awareness and emotional maturity. Through cooperation, vulnerability, and leadership, Clarisse transforms from a stubborn bully into a more empowered and self-aware character.

Abstract

This thesis examines what are the impacts of climate change on nature as portrayed in the young adult novel Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The focus of this research is to find out the impact of sudden climate change caused by the “Moon Crush” incident. Ecocriticism is applied as the primary theoretical framework, particularly Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism concept of “Apocalypse”. A qualitative method is applied, using the novel as the main data source and other relevant sources as the secondary data. As a result of the research, the writers found that Life As We Knew It effectively illustrates the potential real-life outcomes of a “Moon Crush,” showing a strong connection to scientific data. This research concludes that the moon has a significant influence on the Earth; if the moon were to leave its orbit, the Earth would experience disasters such as massive tsunamis and extreme climate changes. The impacts of climate change depicted in this novel include drastic temperature drops, crop failures, and resource scarcity. The writers emphasize that humans and nature are mutually dependent. Humans rely on nature for their survival, while nature is affected by human activities, which can either harm or help maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

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.
