Abstract

Meaning in discourse is frequently conveyed indirectly; conversational maxims are rarely followed strictly, serving instead as tools for speakers to generate implied meaning. In literary discourse, particularly within the semantically dense genre of short fiction, the non-observance of these maxims operates not as a communicative failure but as an intentional artistic strategy to shape characterisation and narrative depth. Building on this background, this study investigates how the non-observance of Gricean conversational maxims functions as a literary strategy in selected English short stories by O. Henry and W. Somerset Maugham. Drawing on Grice’s Cooperative Principle, the analysis examines how deviations from the maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner generate nonconventional implicatures that extend beyond the literal content. The study focuses on four stories: The Girl and the Habit and An Unfinished Story by O. Henry, alongside The Happy Couple and The Promise by W. Somerset Maugham. Employing a qualitative discourse-pragmatic methodology, representative instances of maxim non-observance are identified and interpreted regarding their narrative context and linguistic form. The findings demonstrate that maxim non-observance functions as a vital resource for creating irony, humour, characterisation, emotional reserve, and social commentary. Comparative analysis reveals distinct stylistic applications: O. Henry frequently employs overt exaggeration, verbal play, and socially dynamic exchanges, while Maugham utilizes understatement, ambiguity, and controlled indirection to convey psychological tension and moral complexity. Ultimately, the article concludes that Gricean pragmatics offers a highly effective framework for literary analysis, elucidating how fictional dialogue constructs layered, interpretively rich meanings. Furthermore, this framework provides a practical pedagogical tool, enabling students to explicitly connect pragmatic principles to the interpretation of character motivation and narrative structure in their analytical writing.

Abstract

Willingness to communicate (WTC), a psychological drive for communication, is acknowledged as a burgeoning interest in language education. It can be affected by learner differences (e.g. motivation and emotion) and external factors (e.g. environment and interlocutor). Yet, little research has investigated the impacts of classroom task values and learners’ emotions on learners’ WTC across different learning modalities. This study examines the impact of perceived values of tasks on learners’ WTC in the traditional class and digital setting. Two emotional constructs, namely enjoyment and anxiety, were included as mediating factors. Data were collected from questionnaires administered to 277 Vietnamese students (n = 277) of B1-level English proficiency at a language centre in Vietnam. We utilized a structural equation modelling approach to understand the associations among the variables. Data were entered into SPSS Statistics 26 and Amos 24 for analysis. We initially tested the hypotheses before examining the hypothesized model. Results indicate that task use positively affected enjoyment and negatively determined anxiety. Enjoyment and anxiety directly affected in-class WTC positively and negatively respectively. In-class WTC was in turn a positive antecedent of digital WTC. The study suggests employing meaningful tasks and establishing a low-anxiety learning environment to increase learners’ WTC in the physical classroom and digital settings.

Abstract

Contemporary multimodal communication environments integrate verbal with non-verbal elements within unified communicative artefacts spanning health, commercial, digital, and persuasive discourse. Despite theoretical consensus in multimodality and semiotics that non-verbal and verbal modes carry distinct processing affordances, objective neurophysiological evidence for the attentional priority of non-verbal elements, and its consistency across generational cohorts, remains limited in the literature. This study aims to investigate whether non-verbal visual elements consistently capture first visual fixation before verbal elements across multiple multimodal communication contexts, and to examine whether this attentional pattern is consistent across two generational cohorts, Generation Z and Millennials. A cross-contextual multi-study synthesis design was employed, integrating eye-tracking data from four previously published empirical studies conducted at Universitas Prima Indonesia and Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. HAMKA. Across all four studies, non-verbal elements captured first fixation in almost all of participants, although no statistically significant inter-cohort difference was observed within one of studies. These findings provide neurophysiological evidence that non-verbal visual elements constitute universal primary attentional anchors in multimodal discourse, functionally independent of communicative context and generational cohort. The results carry direct implications for language-sensitive communication design, plurilingual health messaging, multimodal pedagogy, and the theoretical understanding of verbal–non-verbal semiotic hierarchies in multilingual and multicultural communication environments.

Abstract

Protest discourse has become a fruitful source of data for critical studies, as reflected in the Indonesian socio-political landscape in early 2025. As social media plays an important role in disseminating information and shaping public discourse, narratives and hashtags related to the protests quickly gained widespread attention and became trending topics on social media. This study investigates how digital activism is represented through the #IndonesiaGelap “Dark Indonesia” hashtag on X. This study adopted a corpus-assisted discourse approach to analyse 16,103 posts through the analytical framework of Theo van Leeuwen’s Social Actor Theory. The quantitative and qualitative analyses demonstrate that Indonesian citizens use the hashtag to express their rejection, criticism, mobilisation, and solidarity by involving particular social actors. Therefore, netizens used proper names referring to political elites to represent the most dominant social actors, which serves as a discursive strategy to blame the worsening political situation in Indonesia. In addition, the corpus reveals that many users associated those events with previous presidential elections, which they perceived as being controlled by political dynasties, with the metaphor of “dark” reinforcing these negative evaluations. These findings indicate that hashtags functioned to construct the ideological distinction between “us”, represented by citizens, and “them”, represented by the Indonesian government, elites, and media. This study emphasises the function of hashtags in shaping online political dissent and democratic debate.
