The debate revolved around each candidate's arguments regarding the advantages and disadvantages of their presidential candidacy. The research focuses on analyzing the meaning and various types of Conceptual Metaphors, namely Ontological Metaphor, Structural Metaphor, and Orientational Metaphor. A qualitative descriptive method was utilized to analyze the data, which was collected from the YouTube Channel featuring the debates. The researcher observed and studied the videos of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden's second and final presidential debates. The data was analyzed using Lakoff and Johnson's theory (2003). The study concludes that three types of conceptual metaphors were present in the debates. A total of 16 instances of conceptual metaphors were identified, including seven ontological metaphors, two structural metaphors, and seven orientational metaphors. While the ontological metaphor was the most prevalent, its meaning was not straightforward to interpret.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122661865","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 film \"To All the Boys I Have Loved Before\" (2018) was chosen as the subject of analysis, as it depicted social dynamics that resembled real-life situations on a smaller scale. By employing the Language Style Matching theory proposed by Bowen et al. (2017), the researcher successfully identified significant matches and consistent outcomes in relation to the film's conclusion. The research approach employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, allowing for the analysis of data while providing in-depth explanations. The study utilized a Mixed Method Research (MMR) approach and yielded a final Language Style Matching score of 0.91 for verbal mimicry, indicating a nearly perfect match. Two categories of Language Style Matching emerged from the analysis, namely verbal and non-verbal mimicry. The researcher identified twelve instances of non-verbal mimicry in the film, including six motor movements, three postures, two facial expressions, and one gaze. The findings of this study revealed that the main characters in \"To All the Boys I've Loved Before,\" namely Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean, exhibited mutual interest and compatibility.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126012046","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}

Precisely, the object of the study was Tsukuru Tazaki's life and activities. The study's object was analyzed using the sociology of literature approach, which focused on literary works. This study used the literary criticism method. The researcher read, wrote, and identified the data in the form of content quotations provided through conversations and quotations that described the social action types. The results of the study revealed four types of social action. The first type was instrumentally rational action, which could be seen in Tsukuru’s way of maintaining harmonious relationships through community activities. The second type of social action was value-rational action, where Tsukuru used relationship values and the value of manners to keep his connection with his friends and other people. The third type was effective action when Tsukuru was encouraged by his emotional feelings to interact with others, such as jealousy, anxiety, fear, and love. The fourth type of social action was traditional action. The results of the type of social action showed that Tsukuru used his habituation to prepare himself for facing society and keeping in touch with his friends and family. In addition, the result also showed that value-rational action played a significant role in how Tsukuru's achieved his life goal, which was keeping his relationship with his closest people.","PeriodicalId":309663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Literature, Linguistics, & Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128448047","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}

Women have always been the victims of violence perpetrated by men because women are considered inferior beings. Jay Asher's novel Thirteen Reasons Why (2017) tells about thirteen reasons why Hannah Baker committed suicide, which were told in a recording. The researcher aimed to analyze the violence that Hannah Baker suffered in this study and the way she was affected by the violent acts using the theory of violence developed by Galtung (1990). The main data were obtained from Jay Asher's novel entitled Thirteen Reasons Why in the form of words, phrases, and sentences. After the data had been collected, the researcher started to classify them. The results revealed that Hannah experienced psychological, physical, and sexual violence. She was also treated very badly by people in her surroundings; one of whom even raped her. Thus, in the end she committed suicide because she could not bear the pressure in her life. The readers should comprehend the risks of teen stress and violence by examining the main topic and data, as experienced by Hannah Baker.

The objective of this study was to identify semiotic signs present in Joker Poster advertisements and interpret their meanings. The research design was descriptive and qualitative, involving document analysis. Each sign within the poster advertisements was identified and classified into three types: index, icon, and symbol. The meaning of each sign was then analyzed and explained using a triadic process model. The findings revealed that the advertisements contained semiotic signs in the form of symbols, icons, and indexes. There were 14 icons, 12 indexes, and 42 symbols identified. Symbols were more commonly used compared to indexes and icons, with text often serving as a symbol in the Joker posters.

This research aimed to determine the types of discourse markers that TJump and Nathan Thompson used and described their functions. The researcher used a descriptive-qualitative approach to answer research questions by using Schiffrin's theory (1987). The data was taken from utterances containing discourse markers from TJump and Nathan Thompson's debate that discusses globe vs. flat Earth. This research reveals that there were six types of discourse markers and 11 discourse markers, which have different functions, such as a marker of information management (oh); a marker of response (well); discourse connectives (and, but, or); markers of cause and result (so, because); markers of temporal adverbs (now, then); markers of information and participation (I know, I mean). The function of those discourse markers are a marker of information management to attract attention, a marker of response to create coherence, discourse connectives to connect more units, to mark contrasting units as option markers, a marker of cause and result as a complement, and subordinate ideas, markers of temporal adverbs are to show the relationship between time, markers of information and participation are as the transition of information state and indicate the speaker's orientation.
