Abstract

The present study was carried out to assess Mrs. Obama’s assertion, “grief and resilience live together”, in Miller’s tragedy, Death of a Salesman, from the theoretical perspectives of Marxism and Psychoanalysis. Using a qualitative content analysis, the paper finds that even though the protagonist meets his tragic end through his sufferings and disillusion, he displays unparalleled courage, resilience and optimism, as a common man, in a battle with the capitalist society. The paper affirms the afore-said statement and limns the defects of capitalism and its consequences on its victims – more so their psyche and mental state. With this paper, the researchers seek to expose the ills of capitalism and its devastating effects on the working-class members of the society.

Abstract

It is essential to pay attention to the use of politeness strategies in communication, especially if the speaker and listener come from different cultures. People and cultures have been successfully visualized by Disney Pixar in their films that often expose their audiences to different cultural backgrounds of their characters. This research aimed at analyzing the politeness strategies used by the main character in a Disney Pixar animated adventure film Onward. The data in this descriptive qualitative research were analyzed by using the theories of politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987). The results indicate that Ian Lightfoot, the main character, uses a lot of bald-on-record strategies in communicating. This is closely related to the theme of the film in which there are many scenes showing emergencies that require quick action and orders for the safety of the main characters. In addition to that, the most-frequent-used politeness strategies done does not necessarily imply emotional closeness between speakers. The linguistic choices made by the main character were affected by the socio-cultural aspects formed in his society.

Abstract

Varieties of car-related words reflect how the knowledge involving the vehicle has been stored in cultural society. The repetitive occurrence of phrases about a car in Taylor Swift’s 40 song lyrics raises a question on how such a thing is used in song lyrics to convey meaning.  This article uses Littlemore's (2015) theory to figure out the domain where metonymy is used. To explain the meaning-making process, it adopts Moore’s (2016) notion that to reach metonymy is by analyzing the semiotic property of experiential correlation and descriptions of the semiotic structure which Brandt et. al (2019). Then, a qualitative method suggested by Gravells (2018) is applied to read the interaction among language features in context. The metonymy analysis shows the songs employ the domain of car parts, car types, road areas, driving manners, and street signs as part of car metonymy. The semiotic analysis shows that the car has the mythic meaning of overcoming trouble, private space, taking action, romance, and status so that the meaning is readily grasped by the audiences. Thus, this article enriches the method of researching popular songs where language plays vital parts in the lyrics.

Abstract

Mental health campaigns aim to educate sufferers about the importance of mental health and how to manage it. This study investigated how the functions of language and the meaning of modality were employed in @myselflovesupply's mental health campaign posts. In this study, the descriptive qualitative approach was used to evaluate the data. The data were gathered from the words written in the Instagram posts. According to the findings, the language functions discovered in the mental health campaign consist of conative, emotive, and referential, in accordance with Jakobson's theory. In addition, the use of modality in the mental health campaign by @myselflovesupply is extensive. Examined based on Halliday and Matthiessen's theory, the study found all the data used modality; modalization and modulation obtained the same amount of data, which includes obligation, possibility, usuality, and inclination. Encouragement language in mental health campaigns can motivate and encourage sufferers to find motivation, inspiration, comfort, and aspiration, which are crucial for their mental health. The researchers suggest that exploring multiple mental health campaigns to uncover more complex results beyond what was discovered in this current study would be beneficial in future studies. This would provide additional insights and broaden existing knowledge on this topic.

Abstract

Speech acts determine classroom interaction. Speech acts consist of all verbal utterances used in classroom communication. This study identified and described the forms of speech acts based on Searle’s illocutionary act theory produced by the teacher to the seventh grader of the International class program at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Sidoarjo. The primary focus was on the utterances of the English as a second language teacher. In this study, researchers employed a descriptive qualitative method. Observations and recordings were used to acquire the data. The obtained data were then transcribed and analyzed using NVivo 12 Pro. The teacher produces two hundred and sixty-six utterances and four kinds of Searle’s illocutionary acts in the English as a second language classroom. Sixty-eight of their statements were representative, one hundred fifty-one were directive, five were commissive, and forty-two were expressive. The teacher’s frequent use of instructions suggests that she was conscious of her position as a more powerful individual than her students and efficiently managed and commanded the classroom.
