Abstract

This study analyzed the conversational strategies of Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner at The New York Times conference, focusing on their business-related discussions and exploring similarities and differences based on age and status. Following Coates' (2013) theory, seven strategy aspects were examined: minimal responses, hedges, tag questions, questions, commands and directives, swearing and taboo languages, and compliments. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study identified the strategies employed by each speaker. Kim Kardashian used five strategies, while Kris Jenner used six. Overall, the findings indicated more similarity than difference in their conversational strategies, suggesting there are influences from context, status, and age.

Abstract

Multimodal communication employs multiple semiotic modes to convey meaning. Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal is a documentary about Rick Singer, an education entrepreneur who committed the bribes. This study analyzed his representation through the oral and visual modes and was aimed at showing how multimodality could help reveal particular character representations. This study applies multimodal theory (Kress & Leeuwen, 2006) and semiotic modes (Chia & Chan, 2017). The oral monologues and dialogues, and the visuals of people, objects, and places were scrutinized to observe how Rick Singer was depicted. As a result, he was seen being portrayed as a wealthy and successful entrepreneur with many high-ranking connections, who strategically manipulated his clients and his university partners in a clever scheming maneuver. The interplay of both the oral and visual modes has resulted in a relatively complete picture of the main actor of this documentary.

Abstract

When a female friend envies and covets what her female friend has, this leads to a toxic female friendship. Toxicity among female friends has its effects on the victims. This leads the victim to normalize toxic friendship behavior, experience loneliness, and have lower self-worth compared to people who are not the victim of the said phenomenon. This creative work is written in a collection of lyrical poetry, portraying the cause and effects of toxic female friendship. There are fifteen poems in total, with six poems portraying the perpetrator’s envy (‘PART I: Side-eyes on Shiny Emblems’) and another nine poems expressing loneliness and lower self-worth of the victim (‘PART II: Lone to the Bone, Too Gloom to Bloom’). This creative work, ‘Thorns Covered in Petals up on a Pedestal’ shows how vicious a hint of envy can be, thus the terrible outcomes it brings in a friendship among females, especially to the victim.

Abstract

In translating, difficulties often emerge during the translation process. In translating the book entitled Hidden Potential written by Wendy Pope from English to Bahasa Indonesia, Mona Baker’s translation strategies are used to overcome the difficulties that emerge in the translation process. The strategies used are as follows: translation by a more general word, translation by a more neutral word, translation by cultural translation, and translation by omission. The strategy of translation by illustration is not used since this book contains only words without any pictures or illustrations.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the types of impoliteness strategies and the similarities and differences of the impoliteness strategies used by the Baroness, an antagonistic character with an impressive background, toward Estella and Cruella in the movie Cruella. The theoretical framework used is Culpeper’s (1996, 2005) and Bousfield’s (2008) impoliteness strategy. This study employed a qualitative approach. The writers collected and analyzed the Baroness’ utterances to her subordinate, Estella, and to her business rival, Cruella, during the business scenes. The Baroness used all six types of impoliteness strategies to Estella, namely: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm/mock politeness, withhold politeness, and off-record impoliteness. On the contrary, the Baroness only used four out of six types of impoliteness strategies to Cruella, specifically excluding: negative impoliteness and withhold politeness. The Baroness’ background and personality, as well as the interlocutor’s own background, might have influenced the findings of the study.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the construction and promotion of the ideology of beauty in advertisements from the brands Wardah and Sariayu. To interpret the data, the researcher employed Fairclough's three-dimensional model, which allows for a comprehensive analysis of discourse. Throughout the analysis, the researcher observed the use of various discursive strategies, such as puffery, pseudo-scientific claims, emotional appeals, and linking techniques. In the case of Wardah advertisements, the emphasis was placed on the importance of meeting beauty standards. The advertisements also associated their products with some religious values to appeal a specific target audience. On the other hand, Sari Ayu advertisements focus on the concept of self-improvement and natural complexion. Rather than conforming to societal beauty standards, the emphasis to promote the idea that individuals can be beautiful and confident without adhering strictly to conventional beauty standard.

Abstract

Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) is described as a parent’s failure to respond enough to their child’s emotional needs. Although the effects can be severe, it is rarely studied compared to other kinds of childhood abuse and maltreatment. The writers hope to raise awareness about the topic through a short story collection which consists of four stories. Each story shows different types of emotionally neglectful parents, its impacts on the victims as adults, and how they overcome their situation using Dr. Jonice Webb’s empirical insights on CEN as a theoretical framework. The protagonists: Amanda, Brian, Christine, and Daniel, are people in their early twenties who go through their lives trying to deal with the impact of childhood emotional neglect that their parents gave them. The stories show a few types of emotionally neglectful parents: the combination of the narcissistic parent and the achievement/perfection focused parent, the permissive parent, the workaholic parent, and child as parent. The impacts in adulthood materialize in these stories include hiding emotions and lack of self-love, lack of self-discipline, lack of self-esteem, and being overly responsible. The solutions pursued by the main characters are learning to say no, improving their sense of self-discipline, self-soothing, and trying to put themselves first.
