Abstract

This study investigates the role of connotation in shaping meaning beyond the literal level in linguistic communication. Using a qualitative library research method, the analysis focuses on how connotative meanings influence emotional expression, social judgment, and cultural perception. The findings reveal that connotation operates dynamically through context whether interpersonal, cultural, or institutional significantly affecting how language is interpreted. Words with similar denotations may evoke entirely different responses depending on their connotative tone. For example, terms such as “thrifty” and “cheap” share core meanings but differ in emotional weight. Furthermore, connotation plays a powerful role in media, education, and political discourse. This underscores the necessity of connotative awareness for effective and ethical communication.

Abstract

This study explores the role of connotation in literary analysis through a semantic approach, focusing on how implicit meanings and emotional nuances in literary language enrich textual interpretation. Conducted as a library-based research, this study draws upon various literary texts and theoretical sources to investigate how connotation functions as a key element in understanding the aesthetic, ideological, and cultural dimensions of literary works. By analyzing a range of texts across different genres and historical periods, the research demonstrates that connotation not only enhances literal meaning but also reveals deeper interpretive layers. Through a semantic lens, it emphasizes the importance of sensitivity to word choice, cultural associations, and historical context in critically reading literature. The findings affirm that awareness of connotation is a vital tool for uncovering the complexity of literary meaning and broadening readers’ interpretive perspectives. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of semantic analysis to bridge linguistic and literary disciplines, fostering a more nuanced and interdisciplinary approach. Ultimately, it encourages deeper engagement with literature that transcends surface-level reading and embraces language’s rich capacity for meaning.

Abstract

Semantic ambiguity constitutes a fundamental impediment in intercultural communication, especially where language and cultural divergences intersect in workplace settings. This qualitative case study examines how Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan and their Taiwanese employers navigate communication challenges arising from linguistic, pragmatic, and cultural ambiguities. Data from interviews, observations, and document analyses reveal that phonological confusions, dialectal variations, indirect speech acts, and divergent cultural norms engender persistent misunderstandings. Findings highlight the need for comprehensive intercultural competence training incorporating linguistic nuances and pragmatic cultural awareness to mitigate ambiguity, improve communication effectiveness, and foster harmonious labor relations.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of homonyms and homographs as sources of semantic ambiguity in daily English communication. Semantic ambiguity occurs when words or phrases can be interpreted in more than one way, leading to misunderstandings in both spoken and written language. Focusing on lexical ambiguity, this research analyzes how homonyms words that share the same spelling and pronunciation but have different, unrelated meanings and homographs words that share spelling but differ in pronunciation and meaning contribute to communication breakdowns. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from real-life language use, highlighting how individuals interpret ambiguous words based on context. The findings show that without clear contextual cues, these lexical items often lead to misinterpretation. The study emphasizes the importance of context, background knowledge, and linguistic awareness in reducing ambiguity and promoting effective communication. It also suggests practical strategies for educators, learners, and speakers to navigate and resolve ambiguity in everyday language use.

Abstract

In the public service sector, issuing an apology is essential. Customer service representatives, particularly in public services, are typically tasked with handling client complaints. Therefore, public service institutions require effective apology strategies to address these concerns appropriately. This study aims to explore the most commonly used apology strategies by Telkomsel's customer service personnel. The research focuses on identifying which types of apology approaches are more frequently used in everyday interactions. This study may also contribute to a broader understanding of how public services utilize apology strategies. A qualitative research approach is applied in this investigation. The analysis is based on Trosborg’s (1995) framework of apology strategies. Findings indicate that Telkomsel customer service representatives predominantly use explanations or accounts in 50% of the cases when dealing with customer complaints. This approach is often employed to calm customers and ease emotional tension.

Abstract

The web series Layangan Putus, produced by MD Entertainment and directed by Benni Setiawan, premiered in November 2021 on WeTV and iFlix. This study examines metaphors related to betrayal and emotional expression in the series from a semantic perspective. It focuses on how emotional and psychological conflicts are conveyed through metaphorical language, especially those that reflect themes of infidelity, heartbreak, and inner turmoil. The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive method with a semantic analysis approach, analyzing dialogues and scenes using Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory, as outlined in Metaphors We Live By. According to this theory, metaphors are fundamental to how we understand abstract concepts, comparing them to more concrete experiences like money, journeys, or warfare. The study finds that metaphors of betrayal often stem from domains such as war, destruction, and fragmentation (e.g., “inner war,” “shattered into pieces”), while emotional metaphors often draw from physical sensations and natural elements (e.g., “explosive,” “like a storm”). These metaphors enhance the narrative and deepen the audience's emotional connection with the characters. Ultimately, metaphor in Layangan Putus serves as a key element in shaping the story’s emotional impact and audience engagement.

Abstract

Metonymy is one of the important figures of speech in the process of forming meaning in verbal communication. This paper discusses the function of metonymy as a tool to convey meaning effectively and efficiently in everyday language as well as in rhetorical and cultural contexts. Through a semantic approach, this study explains how metonymy helps enrich messages by replacing a word or phrase with a term that has a close association relationship. The main functions of metonymy include accelerating the communication process, creating an interesting stylistic effect, and facilitating the delivery of complex meanings simply. In addition, metonymy also plays an important role in shaping social and cultural perceptions through the use of terms that represent certain institutions or concepts, for example the use of "istana" to refer to the government. This paper uses literature studies and analysis of examples in Indonesian to show various forms of metonymy and their roles. Thus, this paper is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the function of metonymy in forming language meaning as well as being a reference for further linguistic and semantic studies.

Abstract

Literal language in poetry provides clarity and concrete imagery, while non-literal expressions reveal deeper psychological and cultural meanings. This combination enables readers to engage intellectually and emotionally, fostering a more profound, reflective, and empathetic experience. Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in semantic theory, this study examines Rankine's use of metaphor, irony, symbolism, and conditional expressions to convey themes of identity, emotional conflict, and social tension. This study highlights how Rankine's layered language encourages multiple interpretations, reinforcing the emotional and thematic impact of the poems. Findings suggest that combining literal and figurative analysis in literary studies, particularly in an educational context, can enhance students' understanding and critical thinking skills. By examining how language shapes meaning, this research confirms the educational value of poetry in fostering interpretive skills and emotional awareness.
