Abstract

This research aims to analyze the portrayal of power dynamics in Leigh Bardugo’s young adult novel Six of Crows. The study uses qualitative descriptive method to analyze how power dynamics is portrayed in the novel. Data was collected through textual evidence that showcases the exercise of power and analyzed based on Foucault’s (1982) theory of power. The study finds that power dynamics is portrayed through a series of conflicts between the six main characters. These conflicts are mostly verbal. Power is exercised in the form of arguments and bickers, in which of the six characters attempt to constantly gain authority and power over one another. Among the six characters, conflicts and exercise of power can be found in four notable character pairings. The power that is exercised is seen through exploitation of one’s desires, expressions of judgment and hatred, as well as physical conflict in some cases.Keywords: Characters, Foucault, Power, Power dynamics, Six of crows, Young adult.

Abstract

Heroism has become a much-discussed topic in literary studies. However, the villain, who shares the same important role as the hero, does not generally receive as much recognition within these studies. For this reason, this research was conducted to analyze the villain of the story to contribute more into the discussion. The character that was analyzed is the Once-ler from The Lorax (1971) by Dr. Seuss. The Once-ler is the main antagonist of The Lorax (1971) that possesses interesting journey to look into. He goes through a journey that changes his characterization in a certain point of his journey. The Hero’s Journey theory (Vogler, 1992/1999) and Character Arc theory (Weiland, 2016), thus, were adopted to analyze both the journey and the changes in character that the Once-ler experiences. The result shows that the Once-ler’s journey is a Shadow’s journey, and that he experienced both Positive and Negative Change Arc that made him a Redeemed Villain, which is different from most of the villains. This research also discussed the similarities between the hero and the villain that leads to a conclusion that heroes and villains can be differentiated by how they finish their journey; if they succeed, they are the heroes, and if they failed, they are the villains.Keywords: Character Arc, Hero’s Journey, The Lorax, The Once-ler, Villain’s Journey

Abstract

This study attempts to investigate and give a comprehensive account of persuasive techniques and linguistic features in local fashion brands’ advertisements on Instagram, along with the influence of persuasive techniques towards the implementation of linguistic features in the advertisements. To figure it out, this study gathered the data from five captions on recent Instagram posts of Cotton Ink and Look Boutique Store. Using persuasive techniques proposed by Kleppner (1986) and linguistic features in advertising proposed by Grey (2008), the study revealed that the two advertisements had all of three types of persuasive techniques; namely pioneering stage, competitive stage, and retentive stage. In terms of linguistic features, the advertising copywriters used 12 out of 20 types of linguistic features in these two advertisements. Furthermore, the use of persuasive techniques affects the implementation of lexical features in these two brands’ advertisements. Since competitive aims to make the products seem better and unique than the others, the advertisers had to use attractive words or terms to make people believe that the products have a superiority than the other similar products. It also affects the syntactic features, hence the advertisers tend to inform it in long noun phrases with detailed explanations of the products which make them seemed superior. Moreover, the advertisers used present tense to make the customers feel as if the benefits of the superior product they will get will last for a long time. Keywords: Advertisement, Instagram, language feature, linguistic feature, local brand, persuasive language

Abstract

Features and Benefits are the two important elements in advertising that marketers usually use to get the audiences’ attention about products or services that they try to offer. By employing a features and benefits theory by Bly (2005) along with transitivity theory by Halliday Matthiessen (2004), this study focused on the way features and benefits are distributed and represented in smartphones, e-commerce, and makeup YouTube video advertisements. This study used a descriptive qualitative method to explain or interpret the data. This study discovered that features occur more dominantly with 63.27% in smartphones, 51.11% in e-commerce and 54.84% in makeup YouTube video advertisements. Meanwhile benefits are only used 36.73% in smartphones, 48.89% in e-commerce and 45.16% in make up YouTube video advertisements. In other words, all of these three categories used more features than benefits in advertising their products and services. These findings indicate that features meet the potential buyers’ needs and solve their problems as features describe the important aspects that potential buyers are looking for. As for the transitivity process, these three categories of YouTube video advertisements frequently use both relational process and material process. The relational process expresses the product features and attributes, while the material process suggest that these advertisements are typically concerned with actions and events. This is in line with the advertising copywriter’s strategic goal which generally aims to persuade potential buyers and arouse their interest in the products and services being advertised.Keywords: Benefits, copywriting, features, transitivity, YouTube video advertisements
