Readings of covert progression have expanded the study of rhetorical criticism but usually limit themselves to analyzing short stories. By analyzing Frank Miller’s 300, this article extends covert progression to comics, a medium in which language and images crucially interact. In addition, reading 300 for its covert progression also contributes to reassessing a work surrounded by controversies over its quality and ideological bias. The article first discusses the critical background of 300, assesses style—a basic element of covert progression—in comics, and introduces a tool of cultural-semantic analysis necessary to understand 300. The article then reads the overt plot and analyzes the narrator’s voice to assess distances between implied reader/author, narrator, and characters, which previous criticism has established. Next, the article analyzes the covert progression of the story by following the overt plot along the sequence curiosity ! suspense ! surprise and reinterpreting that sequence, analyzing images and combinations of images and language, with an emphasis on stylistic traits. The article closes by discussing the significance of covert progression for 300 and of extending covert progression to the reading of comics.

Compression Coding

As a lossless data compression coding, Huffman coding is widely used in text compression. Nevertheless, the traditional approach has some deficiencies. For example, same compression on all characters may overlook the particularity of keywords and special statements as well as the regularity of some statements. In terms of this situation, a new data compression algorithm based on semantic analysis is proposed in this paper. The new kind of method, which takes C language keywords as the basic element, is created for solving the text compression of source files of C language. The results of experiment show that the compression ratio has been improved by 150 percent roughly in this way. This method can be promoted to apply to text compression of the constrained-language.

This study aimed to know about the use and the most dominant of hyponymy as the semantics features through a story Hank and The Horse. In linguistics, a hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is included within another term, its hypernymy. A hyponym shares a type-of relationship with its hypernymy. Hyponymy is part of semantics, and it is sometimes referred to as meaning inclusion. The research was done by using short stories on YouTube. Technology development has been very significant lately, making it easy for educators to find sources for teaching, learning, and other activities. One of them is a short story. Many short stories on YouTube can be used as the teaching-learning media, depending on the subject that is going to discuss. The method in this research was descriptive qualitative methods in presenting the results. Data were analyzed based on the association with hyponyms by semantic analysis. The study participants were the 5th-semester students of the University of Bina Sarana Informatika. The hyponymy was classified into nouns, pronouns, adverbs, verbs, and adjectives, with a total, were 40 hyponymies. The study's findings were 40 hyponymies found in the short story, then classified into nouns, pronouns, adverbs, verbs, and adjectives. Then they were divided into: (1). 13 nouns; (2). 4 pronouns; (3). 7 adverbs; (4). 12 verb; and (5). 4 adjective and the most dominant is hyponymy in the noun.

Linguistic Means

Introduction. In Finno-Ugric Studies, as well as in Komi linguistics, the language of the founders of Komi literature, its features and artistic means of expression, its role in text formation are not well understood. Viktor Alekseevich Savin was not only the first Soviet Komi poet, playwright, composer and critic, but also one of the foundeers of the modern literary language. His works showed the great potential of his native language, laid down the tradition of creative writing, and became a role model for young poets and prose writers. The article analyzes the linguistic means of expressing the comic in his most popular works. Materials and methods. The object of the study was a series of works by Savin, his poems, essays, and several plays, which are traditionally referred to as anti-religious in literary criticism. The authors used traditional methods of semantic analysis of vocabulary, component, and contextual analysis. Results and Discussion. Not everything written by Savin is equally relevant and close to a modern reader, but many items of his poems, his dramas, and short stories are loved by readers and are still in demand. These are the anti-religious comedies “Rayin” (“In Paradise”), “Inastov lov” (“A Restless Soul”), “Wa Shyr” (“Water Rat”), and the poem “Arkirey” (“Bishop”). However, already in the post-perestroika years these works were not staged any longer at any of the state theaters of the Komi Republic. Conclusion. Satirical poems, comedies, short stories, and essays by Savin have been checked by the time, and remained in the Komi literature’s golden fund, loved by readers and spectators. In connection with the 130th anniversary of the birth of Victor Savin, it is necessary to raise the question of reprinting his works and staging his plays.

Abstract. The goal of the study was to explore event-related potential (ERP) differences during the processing of emotional adjectives that were evaluated as congruent or incongruent with the current mood. We hypothesized that the first effects of congruence evaluation would be evidenced during the earliest stages of semantic analysis. Sixty mood adjectives were presented separately for 1,000 ms each during two sessions of mood induction. After each presentation, participants evaluated to what extent the word described their mood. The results pointed to incongruence marking of adjective’s meaning with current mood during early attention orientation and semantic access stages (the P150 component time window). This was followed by enhanced processing of congruent words at later stages. As a secondary goal the study also explored word valence effects and their relation to congruence evaluation. In this regard, no significant effects were observed on the ERPs; however, a negativity bias (enhanced responses to negative adjectives) was noted on the behavioral data (RTs), which could correspond to the small differences traced on the late positive potential.
