Abstract

Trauma has an important relation to psychology, anthropology and sociology, history, war, and more significantly, literature. This research explores the portrayal of trauma in the young adult literature novel titled As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow (2022) by Zoulfa Katouh. The novel As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow (2022) focuses on the issue of the Syrian Civil War which becomes the main reason for the main character’s trauma. By using the qualitative research method, this research aims to discover the portrayal of trauma by the main character in the narrative. Caruth’s theory of trauma (1996 is used to discover the portrayal of trauma as a response to the main character's catastrophic event in the story. The findings show two kinds of trauma symptoms that is portrayed by the main character which are hallucinations and panic attacks. However, panic attacks are not significantly explained in the Caruth’s (1996) theory of trauma. The research shows that factors such as death, loss, war, terror, and political violence caused by the government are the main reasons behind the main character’s trauma. The research significantly explores how fiction is used to understand trauma based on the main character’s behavior.

Abstract

In marketing, advertising equals sales. One of the essential aspects of expressing a company's identity and product lies in the language used in advertisements. This comprehensive study explores the use of linguistic strategies for persuasion, focusing specifically on incorporating figurative language in advertisements. Synthesizing theoretical foundations, such as Perloff's (2021) view of persuasion, provides valuable insights into the role of linguistic strategies, particularly figurative language, in creating attractive advertising. Through a qualitative analysis of 80 Nike's print, television, and online advertisements, this study sheds light on the 14 strategic types of figurative language they employ. These include analogy, hyperbole, metaphor, irony, and more, intricately categorized based on Peña-Cervel and Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez's (2022) framework. Nike's skillful use of figurative language emerges as a key theme that contributes to persuasive communication, highlighted by elements of wit, humor, and cultural resonance. By exploring the presence and absence of certain figurative language types in Nike's advertisements, this study offers insight into how Nike's brand distinguishes itself in the marketing landscape. The findings of this study share implications for marketers, advertisers, and scholars interested in understanding the intricacies of persuasive strategy in advertising campaigns.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the love portrayal through the use of multimodality in Satellite music video by Harry Styles. The data were taken from Satellite music video by Harry Styles, which was published on YouTube. The study used a descriptive-qualitative method to analyze the data. Several theories were used in analyzing the data, including the multimodality theory by Anstey and Bull (2010) and the visual grammar theory by Kress and Leeuwen (2006) to identify the modes used in the music video. The triangular theory of love by Sternberg (1986, 1997) was also used to identify the kinds of love portrayed in the music video. Based on the analysis, it was found that the Satellite music video uses only four of the five modes, such as Linguistic, Visual, Gestural, and Spatial. Despite the audio mode being excluded, these four modes effectively communicate and convey the key message, which is the love portrayal. The Satellite music video portrayed the stages of unrequited love, employing three kinds of love, namely Nonlove, Liking, and Empty Love. Meanwhile, other kinds of love that are not portrayed are Infatuated Love, Romantic Love, Companionate Love, Fatuous Love, and Consummate Love. Therefore, it suggested for further study to analyze the additional layers of meaning which can be achieved by using the complete five modes and looking into personal life background.

Abstract

Mental health disorders have led to an increase and cause of personality problems and suicidal thoughts. Music, as an art form, often serves as a medium through which artists release their negative thoughts, emotions and experiences. In song lyrics, we can see the manifestation of defense mechanisms used by the speaker. As Cramer (2000) states, a defense mechanism is an attempt as a psychological strategy to reduce or avoid adverse circumstances such as conflict, frustration, anxiety, and stress. This study aims to identify what types of defense mechanisms are used by the speaker contained in the lyrics of five Twenty One Pilots songs in the album Vessel (2013) titled “Ode To Sleep”, “Migraine”, “Car Radio”, “Guns for Hands” and “Holding On To You”. This research used a qualitative method with the theoretical framework of defense mechanisms by Freud (1936/2018) and Cramer (2015). It was found that several types and the level stages of defense mechanisms used by the speaker in the five songs of Twenty One Pilots album Vessel (2013) are as follows: Neurotic defenses: displacement (2), Immature defenses: projection (1), and Mature defenses: suppression (5), altruism (5), sublimation (1), and intellectualization (1). This research provides new insights to readers about the main theme of the album Vessel (2013) and the types of defense mechanisms used by the speaker from Twenty One Pilots. This research also confirms that music can be used as a medium to channel negative feelings and anxiety experienced by songwriters as their defense mechanism.

Abstract

Patriarchal culture is a social practice that places men as superior and women as inferior. In practice, patriarchal culture oppresses and exploits women. The Impossible Dream (1983) is a silent film that explores the issue of patriarchal culture, which is considered a woman's voice against the patriarchal system in society. This research aims to analyze the portrayal of patriarchal culture in the film, specifically through mother and daughter characters and to analyze the portrayal of children characters who imitate their parent's behavior based on gender using the theory of patriarchy by Walby (1990). The qualitative descriptive method with textual and visual analysis was employed to gained the data. The results of this research show three structures of patriarchal, namely the production of household, paid work, and culture that are portrayed in the film. This research also shows the behavior of daughter and son tends to be different because they imitate the behavior of parents based on their gender. Apart from women being oppressed and exploited, this research proves that patriarchal culture creates a double burden that is accepted by women. In addition, the patriarchal culture has an impact on children's behavior, thus children are implanted with the mindset of a patriarchal society from childhood. This research will contribute to the study of patriarchal in society. By conducting this research, the author hope it would shed a new understanding in the topic of patriarchy.

Abstract

This study explores the usage of language in the motivational video titled “Why You Don’t Need to Be Exceptional”. Specifically, this study aims to investigate some linguistic features such as cohesion system including grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion as well as theme and rheme including the types and the markedness. This study was conducted by employing a qualitative research approach. This study obtained the data from the transcript of the video that was available on YouTube. The data were analyzed by using two tools of analysis such as Paltridge’s cohesion system (2012) and Eggins’ theme and rheme (2004). The result showed that almost all cohesion system devices were utilized in the content except meronymy. In grammatical cohesion, the dominant cohesion features were conjunction and ellipsis. The use of those devices was useful for making the message more coherent and comprehensible. Regarding lexical cohesion, repetition and synonym were used significantly. It implied that the creator wanted to emphasize particular ideas. Theme and rheme were also investigated in this study and the findings are topical theme became the most frequent type and unmarked theme were more dominant than the marked type. The results indicated that the creator constructed theme and rheme that is easily understandable. Overall, the use of cohesion system and theme and rheme in this motivational video support each other in making the content comprehensible for the audience.
