One of the platforms they can use is Quora. They exchanged their ideas and got information from other users on the COVID-19 vaccine controversy, which has been widely discussed since the epidemic. They can reveal (real account) or conceal (anonymous account) their identity. Then, to avoid debate between users, speakers must use politeness strategies adapted to CMC. This study aims to identify differences in politeness between real/non-anonymous and anonymous in the comments column on Quora in discussions about the Covid-19 vaccine controversy. This research is included in the descriptive qualitative research with a pragmatic approach used to describe linguistic data related to the forms of politeness strategies found in the analysis. Then, the data were taken from netizens’ comments on the five discussions users most discussed from January 2021 to September 2022. The researcher used the theory of Brown and Levinson (1987), which has been adjusted by Nikzam (2013) and Park (2008), to analyze data on the CMC context. This study found that the most widely used politeness strategies were negative ones, followed by positive politeness, off-record, and bald-on record. However, the researcher also found that speakers use linguistic devices to convey interpersonal and affective attitudes in online communication. The tools used are abbreviations and emoticons that aim to simulate gestures and facial expressions (Park, 2008). Further research is needed to determine politeness in CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication) on different discussion platforms.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moral value emphasized in this research focused on the value of responsibility. The researcher chooses this moral value because The Christmas Pig is a fantasy novel that emphasizes how humans, especially children, should keep and take responsibility for their actions. This study aims to identify the moral value of responsibility along with the development of the characters’ sense of responsibility in the novel entitled The Christmas Pig written by J.K. Rowling. This research is a literary criticism study with structuralism approach by paying attention to intrinsic elements of the story. The study uses the concept of responsibility from Linda and Eyre, which distinguishes responsibility into four parts: responsibility to parents, responsibility to society, responsibility to self, and responsibility to others. The results of this study indicate that there are three kinds of moral values of responsibility portrayed, namely responsibility to parents, responsibility to society, and responsibility to self. Each of these moral values of responsibility is found in the main characters’ and minor characters, namely Jack and Holly. Furthermore, the development of the characters’ sense of responsibility is focused on Jack and Holly. Jack’s development of the characters’ sense of responsibility is portrayed through his action toward CP. Jack, who is initially being rude to CP, becomes a responsible child and takes care of CP. Meanwhile, Holly is portrayed through her irresponsible attitude such as selfishness, disobedience, and impulsiveness, turning into a child who is responsible for society, her parents, and herself. Overall, this thesis provides a deeper understanding of the moral value conveyed in The Christmas Pig and the importance of responsibility as a fundamental aspect of human life.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study itself is a literary criticism focusing on sociological approaches by employing two theories, one by Camarra Phylis Jones named levels of racism (2000) and the second one is multimotive theory by Richman & Leary (2009). Based on the analysis of this study, the first level of Jones’ theory seems to be the most prominent out of the three which is the institutional racism, the characters in this novel were restricted or has limited access to quite a lot of government infrastructure, silenced voice, as well as small quantity of representative in power. While the personally-mediated racism manifested itself through the suspicion of minorities; especially Callum, lack of respect from the Crosses, devaluation of minorities’ capabilities, scapegoating, and dehumanization through hate crime and police brutality. In internalized racism there is also evidence of whiteness as in Lynette’s case where she believes herself to be black as well as self-devaluation by the characters themselves for example Ryan who used the slur word to his own race. Callum and his family responded with various types of response, such as Jude who is leaning towards being more aggressive after the experience of racism while Callum at least try to regain relational value within the society with relationship-promoting response as well as trying to exclude or withdraw himself from the society with avoidance or withdrawal response.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oppression against women has been embedded for generations and can really happen under any circumstances. However, this phenomenon is not only actualized in real life but is also portrayed in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s work entitled The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. The aims of this study are divided into two categories: first, to identify forms of oppression experienced by women characters, Monique Grant and Evelyn Hugo, and second, to describe women characters' struggle against oppression in the novel. The approach used in this study is the sociology of literature since the novel brings up social life issues such as inequalities based on class, race, gender, and other aspects, which these issues might be examined through the perspective of liberal feminism. Additionally, the researcher uses the ‘Five Faces of Oppression’ theory by Irish Marion Young to identify forms of oppression. The results of this study revealed that Monique and Evelyn experienced oppression due to their gender and racial background. Monique was marginalized in the workplace, whereas Evelyn was subjected to the five faces of oppression mentioned by Young, both in the private and public spheres. However, despite the oppression that Monique and Evelyn experienced, they were struggling for their freedom and rights in order to take control of their own lives and careers. Their struggles are intertwined with liberal feminism, a theory that advocates for changing laws, policies, and institutions in order to eliminate gender equality in all aspects of life.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the many pieces of research regarding social actor representation, research that investigate spoken discourse is rarely carried out. Therefore, this study aims to investigate exclusion and inclusion strategies used by lawyers when representing social actors in press conference. This study uses van Leeuwen’s social actor representation theory (2008). It uses a descriptive-qualitative method to ensure clear data analysis. The data were obtained from the FOX 5 Atlanta YouTube channel. This study reveals that lawyers use exclusion and inclusion. The lawyers used more inclusion than exclusion. Moreover, the most frequent sub-inclusion strategy is role allocation, as active and passive roles allow lawyers to show who is guilty and who is not. Meanwhile, the most frequent exclusion strategy is suppression, it allows lawyers to eliminate actors and emphasize others. Future studies is recommended to explore other van Leeuwen approaches.
