This research aims to identify and describe the discourse structures and analyze the representation of Satanism found in the lyrics of the selected songs of Alan Walker. The researcher used the Critical Discourse Analysis approach by Teun van Dijk to determine Satanism in these songs. Three elements are used in this analysis, namely the discourse structure, social cognition, and social context. This research found that there are elements of discourse structure, whether explaining the micro-structure, superstructure, or macro-structure, always address Satanism’s idea. The social cognition aspect found that the social condition influences Satanism's notion in the Alan Walker songs in Norway, where Alan Walker lives open to Satanism. It can be seen from the analysis of model and memory. The analysis of model in Alan Walker's song can be influenced by the social conditions around him. The analysis of memory shows how his personal experience affects the songs he produces. The last aspect in this research is the social context which analyse the power and access to know the idea of Satanism in the songs. The analysis of power found that Satanism has a strong dominance in Norway, as seen from several works such as books, films, and music with the theme of Satanism. Then, the analysis of access found that the satanic people managed to control several media in Norway.
This research identifies lexical bundles which are connected to move analysis in research article of Science & Technology. The corpus-based analysis was used to acquire lexical bundles qualification of frequency and range. A number of bundles which were listed in the corpus were identified structurally and functionally using taxonomy approach by Biber et al., (2004). Further analysis was conducted to connect lexical bundles expression with rhetorical move. Connecting lexical bundles and move analysis in research articles aims to test whether lexical bundles can be used as move markers in academic discourse. The classification of move in a full-length research articles was adapted from Nwogu (1997). In the various structural and functional forms of bundles which are found in this study bring to the list of lexical bundles which indicate various move. The finding of this research is mainly supporting previous study where some bundles expressions have strong connection to rhetorical move in research article. Other finding shows that lexical bundles expressions could occur in more than one move. However, we found that not all of the bundles could express specific move (e.g. the value of the, the length of the, absorption process of the) and not all move is expressed by lexical bundles (move 8).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
