Presuppositions in the Dialogue of the Main Characters of The School for Good and Evil Movie
This study explores the use of presuppositions in the dialogues of the main characters, Sophie and Agatha, in The School for Good and Evil movie. Presupposition, as an essential element in communication, allows speakers to express implied meanings that are not directly stated. In cinematic discourse, it plays a significant role in shaping character interactions and maintaining narrative coherence. The research aims to identify the types of presuppositions used and analyze their meanings, focusing on how these implicit assumptions influence character development and audience understanding. The study adopts Yule’s (1996) theory of presupposition and Leech’s (1981) theory of meaning, applying a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through documentation and note-taking techniques, then analyzed by identifying instances of presupposition within the dialogues. Each example was categorized based on Yule’s six types: existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual. The analysis also considered the contextual meaning and pragmatic implications of each type. The findings reveal that existential and structural presuppositions appear most frequently, underlining the importance of shared background knowledge in character exchanges. Overall, the study highlights how presuppositions enrich storytelling by conveying hidden meanings, thus contributing to the broader understanding of pragmatics in movie dialogue analysis.
Javenglish in Indonesian EFL Classrooms: Between Linguistic Barrier and Cultural Pride
The phenomenon of Javenglish, characterized by the influence of Javanese accent and phonological features on English speech, has become increasingly prominent in Indonesian EFL classrooms, particularly among undergraduate students in English education programs. In many pedagogical contexts, a Javanese-accented variety of English is often framed as a deficiency or deviation from standard pronunciation norms. However, for learners, this variety may also serve as an expression of linguistic identity and cultural belonging. This study examines how Javanese-accented English is produced, perceived, and evaluated in EFL classroom interactions, focusing on the tension between institutional expectations of “standard” English pronunciation and students’ identity construction as Javanese speakers. Employing a qualitative approach, the research draws on classroom observations, audio-recorded oral performances, and semi-structured interviews with undergraduate EFL students and lecturers in Indonesian higher education settings. The analysis is informed by sociolinguistic and critical applied linguistics perspectives, particularly theories of accent, language ideology, and linguistic identity. The findings revealed that Javanese-accented English functioned not merely as a linguistic barrier but as a form of cultural pride and identity expression among undergraduate EFL learners, supporting learner confidence, classroom participation, and peer solidarity. Nevertheless, dominant ideologies privileging native-like pronunciation tended to marginalize such practices, thereby reinforcing unequal power relations in EFL classrooms. This study contributed to discussions on accent diversity in EFL pedagogy and advocated for more inclusive approaches that recognized local accents as legitimate forms of English use.
Exploring the Linguistic Features of Indoglish: A Case of Indonesian English in TikTok
This study explores the linguistic features of Indoglish, a contact variety of English with the Indonesian language and culture, focusing on its use in digital and social media. Grounded in a language contact perspective, this study argues that speaking English nuanced by Indonesian linguistic structures is a natural and legitimate practice that reflects linguistic identity rather than linguistic deficiency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data in this study were collected from 5 TikTok videos produced by an Indonesian content creator and analyzed to discuss the linguistic features of Indoglish, particularly phonological, morpho-syntactic, and pragmatic features. The findings demonstrate that Indoglish utilizes distinctive linguistic features with standard English. At the phonological level, Indoglish shows systematic pronunciation patterns influenced by Indonesian, such as TH-replacement, deletion of final plosives, addition of /r/ sound, final devoicing, and vowel adjustment. At the morpho-syntactic level, Indoglish employs the use of copula omission, reduplication, syntactic transfer, and morphological transfer, reflecting the influence of Indonesian structures. Additionally, Indoglish at the pragmatic level displays the use of sentence-final particles, discourse markers, tag questions, address terms, code-switching, stance markers, and self-repair. These features indicate that Indoglish represents the active role of Indonesian as the mother tongue and national language in speaking English by Indonesians. Furthermore, this study argues that Indoglish should be understood as an expression of linguistic identity and creativity rooted in Indonesian rather than viewing such forms as errors. This study highlights the importance of recognizing Indonesian influence as a valuable linguistic resource in contemporary English use. This perspective is particularly relevant for English education students, as it encourages confidence and reduces anxiety in using English influenced by their mother tongue.
Konstruksi Bahasa dan Identitas Budaya Jawa dalam Konten Horor Digital: Kajian Representasi Stuart Hall
This study examines language and cultural representation to reveal how the Javanese language functions as an identity marker for Javanese people in digital discourse by identifying the representation of Javanese as a mother tongue in digital horror content on the YouTube channel “Jagading Lelembut”, exploring the cultural identity constructed through this representation, and assessing opportunities for the Javanese language’s sustainability. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method and Stuart Hall’s representational approach, this study found three key contexts. In the linguistic context, this content uses specific terms to represent the supernatural world, including alam bokoh, dhemit, and pocongan. It also references Javanese folklore, including wayang characters such as Arjuna, Duryudana, and Banowati. The narrative integrates both ngoko and krama language forms. Ngoko is primarily used to narrate stories for communicative purposes, while krama appears in dialogues to address elders, respected figures, supernatural entities, or during ritual speech. In the context of cultural identity, this content uses specific terms such as lelembut and murca, denoting mystical experiences that are most authentically conveyed through the Javanese language. Meanwhile, wayang, dalang, and jaran kore serve as symbolic manifestations of Javanese cultural representation. This context also encompasses cultural values, as evidenced by narratives that embody spiritual values and respect for inanimate objects, as well as the concept of ‘nrima ing pandum’ that opposes greed. In the context of sustainability in the digital era, this content can potentially broaden the audience for Javanese language and culture, acting as a conduit between contemporary society and Javanese cultural heritage. The findings indicate that the “Jagading Lelembut” channel exemplifies a cultural construction practice that integrates linguistic elements, traditional symbols, and moral values to reinforce Javanese language and its identity in the digital age.

Pronomina Persona dalam Bahasa Dayak Katingan: Kajian Linguistik Kebudayaan
Language is an essential part of cultural heritage. This study examines personal pronouns in the Dayak Katingan language spoken in Tewang Darayu Village from a cultural linguistics perspective. Due to limited documentation, this research is considered significant. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews with native speakers using emic and etic perspectives, supported by recording techniques. The data were analyzed using a structural approach to identify the forms, functions, and distribution of pronouns, and were further interpreted within the framework of cultural linguistics. The findings reveal distinctive features of the pronominal system, particularly the distinction between dual and plural forms, as well as the use of exclusive and inclusive pronouns. A politeness distinction is also identified. Three cultural values are reflected: participant number distinction, speaker involvement, and politeness strategies. These findings indicate that personal pronouns in Dayak Katingan function not only grammatically but also culturally.
Translation of Balinese Culture Terms in the Film Widya: Jemari Jiwaku Menari
Language and culture are closely interconnected, making the translation of culture-specific terms a complex process, particularly in audiovisual media such as film. However, limited studies have specifically examined how Balinese cultural terms are translated in film subtitles and how these choices reflect the translator’s ideological orientation. This study aims to identify the types of Balinese cultural terms in the film Widya: Jemari Jiwaku Menari, classify them based on Newmark’s (1988) cultural categories, and analyze the translation procedures using Vinay and Darbelnet’s (1958) framework, as well as Venuti’s (1995) concepts of domestication and foreignization. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through documentation by analyzing the film’s original dialogues (source language) and their corresponding English subtitles (target language). The findings reveal four categories of cultural terms: gestures and habits (65%), material culture (15%), social organization and religious terms (15%), and social culture (5%). Six translation procedures were identified, with literal translation being the most dominant (50%), followed by borrowing (15%), calque (10%), transposition (10%), modulation (10%), and equivalence (5%). These results indicate a dominant tendency toward foreignization (65%), although domestication is selectively applied to enhance clarity for the target audience. This study highlights the role of translators as cultural mediators and emphasizes the importance of balancing cultural preservation with accessibility in subtitle translation.
An Analysis of The Use Slang in as A Representation of Teenage Slang in Archie Comics
Slang is a type of language variation that is widely employed by teenagers as a means of expressing personal identity, fostering group solidarity, and demonstrating linguistic creativity. Its use is not confined to everyday spoken interactions but is also frequently depicted in popular media, such as comics, which reflect teenage language practices in social contexts. This study aims to examine the use of slang in Archie Comics as a representation of teen slang. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, with data derived from character dialogues in Archie Comics. The data were collected through documentation techniques by identifying and recording slang words and phrases. The analysis involved classifying the types of slang and interpreting their functions based on sociolinguistic theories. The results indicate that Archie Comics contain various forms of slang, including clipping, acronyms, blending, and semantic shifts. These slang expressions function to create informal interactions, convey emotional expressions, and reinforce teenage identity. Thus, Archie Comics can be regarded as an effective medium for authentically representing teen slang.
La Fleur as Feminine Archetype in Le Petit Prince
This research is about the representation of women through anthropomorphism in Le Petit Prince by Saint - Exupéry (1943). It focuses on the figurative character of a feminine archetype. Previous studies on anthropomorphism focused on unseen meanings, metaphor categorization, and the application of animals and natural entities to portray human behaviour, specifically women. The recent research has a goal to seek how La Fleur depicts women, feminine characteristics, and patriarchal values in the French culture. The data are taken from Le Petit Prince in its original French version. This research is under the cognitive semantics field and uses the conceptual metaphor theory. This article solely focuses on ontological metaphor since it primarily observes how human characteristics are transferred to a non – human entity. A qualitative descriptive method is applied to examine the data. La fleur works as an anthropomorphic metaphor imaging women’s feelings, attitudes, behaviour, thoughts, and fragility. The representations reveal cultural principles and a patriarchal point of view where women are subtle and dependent in society’s perspective, and all their actions are motivated by emotions. This research commits to cognitive metaphor by presenting how anthropomorphism in Le Petit Prince emphasize culturally impacted structures of femininity inside French Society.
Derivational Morphemes in Selected Will Woods Songs
This article aims at identifying the types of derivational morphemes that can be found in a selection of songs by Will Wood as well as examining the grammatical and semantic alterations that happen in the derivational process. The data sources include four of Will Woods’ most popular songs on Spotify, including I/Me/Myself, Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!), The Main Character, and 2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun, goodbye.). The research utilizes the qualitative method and the theory of derivational morphemes as stated by O’Grady et al. (2017). The data was collected using the observation and documentation method through the techniques of recording and note-taking. The data was then analyzed using the theory from O’Grady et al. (2017), which states that there are two types of affixes in the derivational process, including suffixes and prefixes. O’Grady et al. (2017) also identifies that grammatical and semantic changes can happen during the derivational process. The results suggest that derivational suffixes occur at a greater frequency and greater variety compared to the prefixes, with only one type of derivational prefix found in the selected songs. Both grammatical and semantic change were also found within the data sources.
Investigating Main Character’s Perfectionism in the Black Swan Movie
This research aims to explore the connection between socially prescribed perfectionism and conflict, particularly how perfectionism can trigger various conflicts. Focusing on Nina Sayers, the protagonist of the film Black Swan, the study examines how her perfectionism contributes to both internal and external conflicts. The motivation for this research stems from a notable lack of studies linking socially determined perfectionism to conflict, particularly its role in eliciting psychological distress and interpersonal tensions. Using the Black Swan movie as a data source, observations and note-taking techniques were employed to identify key scenes illustrating Nina's struggles. The study employs qualitative methods and descriptive techniques, presenting its findings informally. It draws on the Multidimensional Perfectionism theory by Hewitt et al. and Kenney's conflict theory. Findings reveal that Nina embodies socially prescribed perfectionism traits, including the intense desire for perfection to earn recognition and acceptance. Her interactions with influential characters, such as Thomas (the ballet director), Beth (a former star dancer), Lily (her rival), and her controlling mother, shape her perfectionist tendencies. This leads to significant internal conflict due to psychological pressure and obsession, while external conflict arises from competition and unrealistic expectations, with her need for validation exacerbating both internal and external conflicts.

Language Features Used by Non-binary Gender in Sam Smith’s Interviews
The different characteristics of men and women affect the selection of different language characters between men and women. However, the rise of non-binary gender challenges the rigid categorization of language as masculine or feminine. This study aimed to identify the language features used by Sam Smith as a non-binary individual and the influence of social factors in their selection. The data were collected using a documentation method in the form of utterances uttered by Sam Smith in two YouTube interviews.

Dampak Literasi Digital terhadap Perkembangan Bahasa dan Minat Budaya Anak Usia Dini di Era Society 5.0
The ability to comprehend and apply information from a variety of electronically obtained formats is recognized as digital literacy, and it can result in a more comprehensive and global understanding of the world. Researchers employed descriptive qualitative research using the listening method, skill method, and introspection method to describe how digitalization affected early childhood language development and cultural interests. There is a negative effect on language development on oral communication skills because it directly diminishes their social interactions, in spite of the results indicating an increase in language skills and multilingual abilities and also changes in language patterns. Understanding about both local and global cultures, creating an appreciation for traditional cultures, and enhancing creativity in ways that express culture are all factors that influence cultural interest. However, because they are more interested in foreign cultures, native cultures are also at threat. Thus, in order to cultivate cultural interest in young children, researchers suggest that language development be balanced by utilizing the mother tongue in the family circumstance. In addition, it is an ancestral heritage that embodies traditions, values, and history.
