Abstract

This study examines the language formulation of identity, emotion, and gender in five commercially and culturally significant songs by the American pop-rock band Maroon 5: "This Love," "She Will Be Loved," "Moves Like Jagger," "Sugar," and "One More Night." The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach based on stylistic analysis, metaphor theory, and gender discourse frameworks. The objective is to elucidate how language in popular music lyrics serves as a mechanism for shaping emotional expression and negotiating social identities. The findings indicate that identity is formed through personal pronouns, emotional contrasts, and metaphorical allusions, illustrating fluctuating roles of dominance and vulnerability. The Circumplex Model of Emotions (Troiano et al., 2022) analyzes emotional expression, uncovering patterns of high arousal, encompassing both positive (desire, lust) and negative (regret, heartbreak) emotions. Gender roles are depicted dynamically, fluctuating between conventional masculinity and emotionally expressive male identities. Lyrics like “Look into my eyes and I’ll own you” and “You pick up my broken pieces” illustrate both the reinforcement and transgression of patriarchal norms. The study presents two innovative conceptual contributions: emotional ambidexterity, the simultaneous presence of conflicting emotional states inside individual lyrical tales, and intra-discursive gender shifts, which characterize gender representation as fluid and multifaceted rather than static. These findings enhance the domains of language stylistics and popular culture studies by demonstrating how modern lyrics influence the formation of gendered and emotional identities inside the digital music environment. Keywords: Identity, Emotion, Gender

Abstract

This study explores how language in the psychological thriller Get Out (2017), directed by Jordan Peele, conveys racism through polite yet indirect utterances. Although the white characters appear friendly, their language subtly reinforces racial stereotypes. Drawing on Grice’s theory of implicature (1975) and Searle’s speech act theory (1969), this research examines how pragmatic features reveal underlying racial bias. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study analyzes 17 selected dialogues between the protagonist, Chris, and white characters during his visit to his girlfriend’s family. The findings show that implicatures conceal power imbalances and racial discomfort, while indirect speech acts mask prejudice beneath seemingly supportive comments. These results suggest that film serves not only to entertain but also to reflect and reinforces social issues like racism. Addressing a gap where pragmatic analysis is underused in film dialogue, this study demonstrates how everyday language can conceal power and bias in seemingly ordinary interactions. Keywords: Indirect Speech Acts, Conversational Implicature, Racial Bias, Language Use, Get Out

Abstract

This study aims to explore the symbolic meanings of black cats through Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, focusing on three levels of meaning: denotative, connotative, and mythological. Black cats have long served as cultural symbols associated with myth, mysticism, and diverse interpretations across Indonesian and Western societies. This research applies a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing direct observation and literature review for data collection. The findings reveal that visual elements such as black fur, eyes, and claws of cats carry layered meanings influenced by cultural values, ideologies, and community beliefs. The color black symbolizes darkness and death; cat eyes are associated with mystical realms; while cat claws are seen as omens or warnings. These symbols are shaped and interpreted through complex social and historical processes. The results highlight that even a simple object like a black cat can possess deep, culturally constructed meanings that require contextual understanding. Keywords: Semiotics, Black Cat, Denotation, Connotation, Myth
