Abstract

The Metaphor Analysis of Daniel Caesar''s Song is a research study that examines the meaning and type of metaphorical language contained in Daniel Caesar''s song lyrics. Metaphors are ideas to discuss something, give an understanding of the world, and are used by poets, songwriters, and book writers to convey meaning in an interesting way. The aim of this research is to provide understanding, enhance knowledge, add new experiences, and fill gaps. Qualitative research aims to understand phenomena experienced by research subjects, while descriptive research collects descriptive data and presents it in reports and descriptions. The researcher found 8 structural metaphors (53%), 3 orientation metaphors (20%), and 4 ontological metaphors (27%). According to conceptual metaphor, the most dominant type of metaphor is structural metaphor. Daniel Caesar''s songs are composed of words taken from poems and given additional melodies to create attraction. This research can be used as a reference source for the study of metaphoric language and its various meanings. Institutions can benefit by providing better support and making it easier for students to access resources related to metaphoric languages.

Abstract

In academic writing, hedging is a key rhetorical strategy that allows researchers to express caution and manage claims with appropriate nuance. This study investigates hedging practices in Applied Linguistics research articles written by Indonesian and Native English authors. Using a corpus of 20 articles (10 per group) totaling approximately 100,000 words, the analysis focuses on hedging density, distribution across Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections, and types of hedging devices used. Native English authors employ significantly more hedging devices (859 total) than Indonesian authors (365 total), especially modal and epistemic verbs. Both groups hedge most in the Introduction and Discussion sections, with statistically significant higher hedging densities among Native English writers in these parts, while the Methods section exhibits the least hedging for both. Indonesian authors favor approximators as hedging devices, indicating cultural preference for indirect lexical softening, contrasted with the more explicit grammatical hedging by Native English authors. These results highlight distinct cultural rhetorical preferences and suggest that academic writing pedagogy for Indonesian scholars should incorporate modal and epistemic verb strategies to better align with international norms.
