Abstract

Song lyrics serve as a medium for expressing complex emotions, including grief and loss. This study aims to analyse the representation of grief in "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief model. The data consist of 9 stanzas of the song's lyrics that were analysed using a qualitative descriptive method, examining the lyrics by identifying signifiers and signifieds and interpreting their meanings through the process of signification. The findings reveal that grief is represented through recurring symbols such as black cars, funeral flowers, darkness, and color imagery, which signify mourning, emotional suffering, hopelessness, and irreversible loss. The analysis identifies four stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, with depression emerging as the dominant stage. This research contributes to semiotic and literary studies by demonstrating how Saussurean semiotics can be integrated with psychological grief models to analyse emotional expression in song lyrics. The study concludes that "Paint It Black" portrays grief as a transformative experience communicated through a rich system of symbolic signs.

Abstract

Emoji interpretation has become an important issue in digital communication because emojis do not always carry fixed meanings and are often understood through their relationship with verbal text and interactional context. In semiotic studies, emojis can be examined as signs that contribute to meaning-making in online discourse. This article aims to analyze how emojis function as signs and how their meanings are constructed in the comment section of the @girls Instagram account by applying Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic theory. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design. The data were taken from one selected post uploaded on the @girls Instagram account and consisted of nine comments containing emojis. The data were collected through observation and screenshots, then analyzed using Peirce’s triadic framework, which includes representamen, object, and interpretant. The findings show that emojis in the selected comments function as meaningful signs rather than merely decorative elements. The analysis revealed four meaning categories: agreement (1 comment), sadness (2 comments), humor (2 comments), and alternative viewpoints (4 comments). These meanings were shaped by the relationship between the emojis, the accompanying verbal text, and the context of the post. In conclusion, emojis play an important role in shaping meaning in Instagram comments. This study implies that emoji interpretation should be understood as part of visual-verbal meaning-making in digital communication and semiotic analysis.
