Abstract

This study aimed to investigate and identify the linguistic feature of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) used in the three selected songs of Jay Park’s album, The Road Less Traveled, and understand the underlying reasons for this AAVE use by applying sociolinguistic approach. The data were analyzed using several theories from Wolfram (2004), Fromkin et al. (2011), and Davenport and Hanna (2005) to analyse AAVE features and Cutler’s (2015) theory to analyze the underlying reasons why Jay Park employed AAVE in his songs. The data was gathered by attentively and comprehensively listening to the songs and reading the transcribed lyrics. The results were as follows: Jay Park used five out of the 13 grammatical features of African American Vernacular English, including copula absence, invariant be, remote been, specialized auxiliaries, and the use of "ain't" for negation. Additionally, he only employed two out of the proposed lexical features of AAVE, which are blends and clipping. Also, two phonetics features found in his music were regressive assimilation and deletion. Overall, the findings suggest that the use of AAVE by Jay Park in his songs is due to the authenticity of Hip-Hop culture regardless of the singer’s nationality and to express empathy and solidarity with the African-American community.

Abstract

Disability is a natural and inherent aspect of human diversity. This issue also becomes a relevant topic in literary works, for example novels. In novels, the existence of disability can influence and shape the readers’ perspective about it. Using Reams’ (2015) theory of characterization, this qualitative study aims to examine how the main character of The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree (2018) is positively portrayed and conveyed through narrations and dialogues. This study found that the main character is presented through three categories of characterization during two phases of her disabled experience, the denial phase and the acceptance phase. After experiencing physical changes and emotional upheaval as the effect of losing visual ability, the main character is portrayed as having an improved hearing ability, independent, confident, and brave in facing difficulties as a disabled person. The case of this study is expected to give insights into the challenges and daily experiences of individuals with disabilities and facilitate the growth of people’s awareness of disability.

Abstract

This article presents the semiotic analysis of the teenage love triangle in the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s songs folklore album entitled Betty, Cardigan, and August by using Barthes' (2013) and Horney’s (2013) psychological concept of love triangle. The research method used a qualitative method with an interpretive approach. The data were acquired by gathering and analyzing the lyrics of these songs to find the meaning of the teenage love triangle supported by journals and relevant data to enforce it. The meanings obtained through this analysis are connotation, denotation, and myth. The findings show that through denotation, connotation, and myth creation, Taylor Swift intertwines these songs to tell a broader story beyond the confines of a love triangle. They become a narrative trilogy that reflects the multifaced nature of relationships, the layers of emotions involved, and the resonance these experiences hold in the broader context of life and love. The characters in these songs portray different facets of human behavior showcasing various neurotic tendencies. This study can contribute positively in understanding how semiotics can be applied to song lyrics, helping us decipher the sign and communicative aspects of music and lyrics.

Abstract

In the world of movie posters, it employs a fusion of visual design to carry out a special meaning. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to conduct a detailed analysis of the multimodal discourse on the poster of Moonlight (2016). The analysis employed a Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1996) framework of multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) namely representational meaning, interactional meaning and compositional meaning. The findings of the analysis on the movie poster of Moonlight (2016) show a rich and multi-layered representational meaning that softly depicts the protagonist’s journey of self-discovery and the challenges he faced in a culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged neighborhood. Interactional meaning is established through intentional visual choices, fostering intimacy.The compositional elements, including salience, information value, and framing techniques, contribute to the poster's visual appeal and thematic context. The poster serves as an intricate advertising piece, employing narrative and conceptual representations to depict the protagonist’s self-discovery journey within a socio-cultural context.

Abstract

Manga has become a widely recognized trend around the world, with Western fans tend to prefer psychological and dark fantasy genres in the manga they read (Lin, 2005). One manga that caught the writer’s attention was Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man., especially the journey of its protagonist, Denji. This research aims to analyze Denji’s journey by utilizing Vogler’s (1992) hero’s journey framework with a qualitative text analysis method. Through analysis of the first part of Chainsaw Man, this research finds typical patterns of Denji’s character development in the context of the hero’s journey. The results of the analysis show that although there are structural differences with the theoretical framework, Denji’s journey in Chainsaw Man reflects universal themes of conflict, character development, and sacrifice. This research contributes to the understanding of manga narrative construction and presents a new perspective on character development in Fujimoto’s work. In conclusion, Chainsaw Man not only enriches the diversity of manga as part of literature works but also becomes a source of ideas for further research on the hero’s journey in manga.

Abstract

Nowadays, the issue regarding trauma and its impacts have been raised seriously in society. This issue is important to understand because trauma can have a negative influence on one's life. Trauma could be understood from various media and sources among us, such as literary works that represent trauma. This study aims to analyze trauma in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007) by Khaled Hosseini. This study unveils the traumatic events experienced by the main characters, the trauma responses illustrated by the main characters, and the sources of trauma. In analyzing the data from the novel, this study used a qualitative design and textual analysis method. The data collection process was carried out by close reading the novel, and then the data were highlighted and annotated. Subsequently, the data were identified and classified based on each character’s traumatic experiences, trauma responses, and its sources. By using Caruth’s concept of trauma (1995) and Vickroy’s trauma theory (2014), it was found that the main characters of the novel, Mariam and Laila, undergo similar traumatic experiences, and they illustrate different trauma responses. In addition, the sources of their traumas are the socio-cultural environment and political situation, which results in betrayal trauma and insidious trauma. It can be concluded that the socio-cultural environment can be a source of trauma if it fails to provide a safe and reliable environment, and it impacts one’s experience and understanding of trauma.
