Abstract

  The former East Timorese who chose Indonesia as their country are now living in two state imaginations. First, psychological dependence on East Timor as the land of birth, ancestral land, and land of civilization. Second, juridical dependence on Indonesia as the result of the referendum on August 30, 1999. However, social relations between the former East Timorese and local communities are not always harmonious. They are accepted as guests who do not want to go home by the local community. This study measures the social distance between local and ex-East Timorese communities in Tuapukan Village in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The theory used is Social Distance proposed by Emory S. Bogardus. Bogardus compiled a scale measuring a person's acceptance of others in the following elements: (1) willingness to marry someone else; (2) socialize closely as a member of the club's comrades; (3) accept him as a neighbor; (4) accept him as a citizen, and 5) visitors/tourists to our country, 6) leave this country. The research population is the Tuapukan community, Kupang Regency which consists of 546 heads of families. This number includes 211 former East Timorese Family Heads. Researchers used the Slovin formula. The desired critical value (limit of accuracy) (percent allowance for inaccuracy due to sampling error) is 5% with a confidence level of 75%. Data collection using a questionnaire. The data is tabulated according to the respondents' answers. Next, the percentage is calculated and analyzed. The results showed that 36.67% of respondents answered that they were not willing to marry their family members with ex-East Timorese. Meanwhile, social distancing is almost non-existent in terms of respondents' willingness to accept ex-East Timorese as office mates. Only 3.33% of respondents answered that they were not willing to accept ex-East Timorese as office mates or in other words 96.67% answered that they were willing to accept ex-East Timorese as office mates.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and interpret the meaning of figurative language in the lyrics of the song “Sakura” by Fariz Roestam Moenaf through a stylistic approach. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques included literature study, critical reading and data integration. Data analysis applied Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which included data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing with credibility testing through source triangulation. The results show that the lyrics of “Sakura” utilize six types of figurative language: personification, metaphor, hyperbole, imagery, repetition, and irony. The use of metaphor and personification dominates to transform the abstract concept of love into something more vivid and real. The findings conclude that these lyrics represent inner conflict, deep commitment, and a moral message about the honesty of conscience in order to achieve peace of mind. The figurative language in this song serves as a powerful instrument of emotional communication between the creator and the listener, not merely as an aesthetic embellishment.
