Abstract

The growing use of social media has transformed multilingual communication by enabling users to combine diverse linguistic resources in creative and dynamic ways. While translanguaging has been widely examined in educational and classroom settings, its role in digital humor remains underexplored. This study investigates translanguaging practices in Instagram comedy content from a sociolinguistic perspective, focusing on how multilingual resources are utilized to construct humor and social meaning. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzed multilingual utterances from selected comedy videos posted on the Instagram account @rsydna.a. The data were purposively selected from 312 available posts and analyzed across four linguistic levels: morphology, semantics, syntax, and phonology. The findings reveal that the content creator integrates Sundanese, Indonesian, and English as a unified communicative repertoire rather than as separate linguistic systems. Morphological translanguaging emerged as the most dominant pattern, followed by semantic, phonological, and syntactic translanguaging. The analysis demonstrates that hybrid word formation, meaning transfer, structural adaptation, and localized pronunciation function as important resources for humor production, identity construction, and audience engagement. These findings suggest that translanguaging in digital comedy is not merely a form of language mixing but a dynamic sociolinguistic practice through which multilingual speakers creatively negotiate linguistic and cultural boundaries. By examining translanguaging across multiple linguistic levels in social media comedy content, this study extends translanguaging research beyond educational contexts and contributes to a broader understanding of multilingual communication in contemporary digital environments.

Abstract

Song lyrics represent cultural texts rich in emotional and symbolic meaning. This study employs qualitative content analysis using a frame semantics approach to analyze the lyrics of “Cinta Sejati Takkan Mati” by Agus Subianto (2025b), the original soundtrack of the film Believe (released in 2025), as an object of cognitive linguistic inquiry. The data consist of the complete lyrics of a single song, examined to explore the conceptual representation of the father figure of Indonesian culture. Drawing on frame semantics (Fillmore, 1982) and the principles of embodied cognition (Johnson, 2007), the analysis identifies five primary semantic frames: (1) Father as Eternal Love, (2) Father as Silent Sacrifice, (3) Father as Living Memory, (4) Father as Source of Validation, and (5) Father as Eternal Guardian. The findings reveal that the father is represented not merely as a biological figure, but as a multidimensional emotional and spiritual symbol that shapes the child’s identity through embodied affective experience. The song constructs paternal love as transcendent and immeasurable, reinforcing cultural narratives of the father as a moral and emotional anchor within the family. This study expands the application of cognitive linguistics in popular culture analysis and demonstrates how song lyrics function as cultural media that reflect and shape collective understandings of emotion, family relationships, and spirituality.
