Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of womanhood in the song I Am Woman by Emmy Meli using Simone de Beauvoir’s feminist theory and a linguistic features approach. The research applies a descriptive qualitative method, with the song lyrics as the primary data. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed by identifying linguistic features such as first-person pronouns, declarative sentences, repetition, evaluative adjectives, and clause structures. These features were interpreted through a feminist literary perspective to explore representations of womanhood. The findings reveal that the song portrays womanhood as empowered, autonomous, and self-defined. Women are represented as conscious subjects who assert agency, resist patriarchal limitations, and construct their identities through self-awareness and existential freedom. The study demonstrates that linguistic choices in contemporary song lyrics can function as feminist discourse that challenges traditional gender stereotypes and redefines womanhood as a process of becoming rather than a biologically determined identity.

Abstract

Slang represents a dynamic form of informal language that reflects social identity, interpersonal relationships, and cultural practices within speech communities. Although numerous studies have investigated slang in films, songs, and animated media, relatively few have applied Eric Partridge's sociolinguistic taxonomy to contemporary audiovisual discourse. This study aims to identify and analyze the types of slang used in Haunted Hotel Episode 1 based on Eric Partridge's classification of slang. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using document analysis. The data consisted of slang expressions identified from the official English subtitles and spoken dialogues of Haunted Hotel Episode 1. The data were collected through repeated viewing, transcription verification, identification of candidate slang expressions, and classification according to Partridge's taxonomy. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal 15 slang expressions that satisfy Partridge's criteria. All identified expressions belong to Society Slang, including heads up, goddamn it, dude, hell yeah, big bro, jeez, son of a bitch, sis, buddy, what the hell, what the hell is it?, come on man, bitch and damn it. These expressions primarily function to express familiarity, emotional intensity, humor, solidarity, and spontaneity in everyday interaction among family members, hotel staff, guests, and supernatural characters. The dominance of Society Slang indicates that the series emphasizes natural conversational language characteristics of contemporary informal communication. The study contributes to sociolinguistic research by demonstrating the continuing relevance of Partridge's taxonomy for analyzing slang in modern animated television discourse while distinguishing genuine slang from ordinary informal vocabulary and contractions.
