Abstract

This research aims to classify types of taboo words and analyze the function of taboo words in Chris Rock's 33-minute YouTube channel; This research aims to classify types of taboo words and analyze their functions in Chris Rock's 33-minute YouTube performance. The study is based on the theories of Batistella (2005) and Raymond D. Liedlich (1973). Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data was sourced from the Laugh Planet YouTube Channel. The findings reveal three types of taboo words: obscenity, epithet, and profanity. Specifically, there were 3 instances of obscenity (1.7%), 1 epithet (5%), and 1 profanity (5%).  Additionally, four functions of taboo words were identified: creating attention, endearment, discredit, and providing catharsis. The analysis found 2 instances of creating attention (2.5%), 1 of endearment (5%), 1 of discredit (5%), and 1 of providing catharsis (5%). Among these, obscenity was the most frequently used type of taboo word, while creating attention emerged as the most common function. The study underscores the prevalence and diverse roles of taboo language in comedic performances, highlighting how such words are strategically employed to engage audiences, express affection, criticize, and release emotions. Chris Rock's skillful use of taboo language not only enhances his comedic impact but also reflects broader linguistic and social dynamics. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced ways in which comedians use taboo words to connect with their audiences and convey complex messages, ultimately enriching the discourse on language and humor in contemporary media.

Abstract

This article purposed to: (1) identify and analyze types of synonyms based on Palmer's theory (Alexander, 2018) and (2) examine the meaning relationships contained in each type of synonym by referring to Leech's theory (Feist, 2022). This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through several stages, including watching films and reading dialogue scripts from the Harry Potter series, grouping data according to types of synonyms, analyzing data based on identified problems, and drawing conclusions from the results of the analysis. The findings reveal five types of synonyms with the following distribution: 37.2% overlapping synonyms, 25.7% stylistic synonyms, 25.7% synonyms with emotive or evaluative meaning, 5.7% collocation synonyms, and 5.7% dialect synonyms. Furthermore, based on meaning analysis, the data indicates 40% conceptual meaning, 31.6% affective meaning, 8.5% reflective meaning, 5.7% social meaning, 5.7% collocative meaning, 5.7% thematic meaning, and 2.8% connotative meaning. This study also highlights the cultural context in which these synonymous variations emerge, emphasizing how language choices in the Harry Potter series reflect British cultural nuances, social hierarchy, and magical world-building. The dialogue in the films not only serves a narrative function but also conveys deeper cultural meanings through dialectal variations, stylistic shifts, and emotive expressions, further enriching the linguistic and thematic dimensions of the story.

Abstract

This study investigates the portrayal of women in the Indonesian film “Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap” movie through a sociolinguistics study. The research aims to explore how language and dialogue in the movie reflect and reinforce societal attitudes towards women, examining the representation of female characters and their interactions within the narrative. The collected data are analyzed by applying qualitative and descriptive method. The dialogues undergo thematic analysis to identify recurring themes related to gender roles, power dynamics, and language use. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of how women’s speech in the film reflects or diverges from established sociolinguistic patterns. Triangulation is employed by comparing the film's portrayal of women with existing literature on gender roles in Indonesian society and media, ensuring the validity of the findings (Baxter, 2019; Sunderland, 2020). The results indicate that the portrayal of women in Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap is shaped by cultural influences and prominent themes such as 5 Gender Roles as a woman, 5 Emotional Attachment, and 10 Gender Conflict and Tension. However in the film Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap by comparing woman image and man image it can be found that woman are often portrayed as inferior, weak, and marginalized, while men appear as superior, strong, and dominant. There are some symbolic resistances, but man’s power still cannot be fully seized by woman. As an obedient being, Sarma always does whatever her parents told her to do and feels she must obey completely. Never in her life does she disobey her parents. She then compared what her life to her brothers’. The result come to the fact that the brothers were able to do something freely and disobey their arents because they are men, not a woman like Sarma. The film portrays women as individuals expected to obey men’s commands. Women are also portrayed as being of lower status than men. The patriarchy in this movie is also very noticeable. This portrayal reflects and potentially reinforces societal views of patriarchy and gender hierarchy in Indonesian media

Abstract

This research examines the use of conceptual metaphors in Manchester United football chants through a cognitive linguistics lens, analyzing how metaphorical language constructs fan identity and collective emotion. Understanding metaphor in sports discourse is crucial for comprehending the psychological and social dimensions of fandom. The study aims to identify the types and cognitive functions of conceptual metaphors in the club’s chants. Using qualitative metaphor analysis, the research analyzes 32 chants from match recordings, fan forums, and official archives (2010–2023), applying Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) framework of conceptual metaphor theory. Data is categorized into structural, ontological, and orientational metaphors, with additional analysis of their frequency and contextual usage. Findings reveal a predominance of war metaphors , reflecting the conceptualization of football as conflict, alongside kinship and journey metaphors , which reinforce group identity and shared purpose. The study concludes that these metaphorical systems shape fan cognition, emotional engagement, and cultural memory. This analysis enhances our understanding of how language functions in sports communities, offering insights into the cognitive underpinnings of fan behavior and the role of metaphor in constructing collective identity.
