Abstract

Abstract. Semantics is a branch of linguistics that aims to reveal a certain meaning. This research aims to analyze the use of metaphors and their meanings in Ashe's selected songs lyrics through a semantic approach. Metaphor is one of the elements that is often used in song lyrics to convey messages implicitly and deeply. In this research, descriptive qualitative method is used to identify the types of metaphors based on Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual theory, and interpret the meaning of the metaphors using semantic approach. The research data were taken from the lyrics of 13 selected songs by Ashe. The results show that in the lyrics of Ashe's selected songs, metaphors are used to describe feelings and experiences. Metaphors such as “love as a physical feeling” were found to have meanings that describe emotional feelings. The use of metaphors in Ashe's song not only beautifies the lyrics, but also creates a broader interpretation of meaning for the listener. Keywords: Semantics, Structural Metaphor, Orientational Metaphor, Ontological Metaphor, Songs.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi penggunaan bahasa metafora dalam koleksi puisi Sylvia Plath, khususnya  menganalisis puisi-puisi seperti “Mirror”, “Morning Song”, “Lady Lazarus”, dan “Tulips”. Penelitian ini menyoroti eksplorasi terampil Plath terhadap tema-tema seperti identitas, keraguan diri, dan konflik emosional melalui penggunaan metafora yang jelas dan berdampak. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan naratif kualitatif berdasarkan metode yang diuraikan oleh Miles dan Huberman (1994), penelitian ini meneliti setiap metafora secara rinci. Temuannya mengungkapkan bagaimana Plath menggunakan bahasa metafora untuk menyampaikan emosi dan wawasan yang mendalam tentang pengalaman manusia. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa metafora Plath bertindak sebagai alat yang ampuh untuk membahas konsep-konsep seperti penghapusan diri, isolasi, pencarian jati diri, dan dinamika yang kompleks antara kehidupan individu dan ekspektasi masyarakat.

Abstract

Writing business letters is an essential skill for students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts, as it prepares them to engage in professional communication effectively. However, many students encounter difficulties in producing business letters that are structurally accurate, contextually appropriate, and linguistically formal. This study aims to improve students’ business letter writing through the implementation of a Genre-Based Approach (GBA). The research employed a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, involving third-semester students of the accounting department of Institut Bisnis dan Komputer Indonesia. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and students’ written works, which were assessed using a rubric covering content, organization, language use, and format. The findings revealed that students showed significant improvement in their ability to construct business letters, particularly in terms of understanding the communicative purpose, using appropriate formal expressions, and applying correct letter structure. The results indicate that the stages of GBA building knowledge of the field, modeling, joint construction, and independent construction were effective because they explicitly introduced students to the social purposes and generic structure of business letters, enabling them to internalize both the functional and linguistic features of the genre. This explicit scaffolding not only facilitated students’ understanding of how language operates within professional contexts but also enhanced their confidence and autonomy in producing formal written communication. In conclusion, the Genre-Based Approach proves to be an effective and pedagogically grounded strategy for improving students’ business letter writing skills in ESP classrooms.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the type and meaning contained in the PON 2024 Aceh-North Sumatra logo from the perspective of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics. A logo is a design element that functions as a visual representation of an entity, such as a company, organization, or product, consisting of a combination of symbols, images, and text designed with unique and distinctive visual elements. The method used is descriptive qualitative. This research will produce descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from the image objects observed during the research. The results of the research on the PON 2024 Logo show that there are 3 icons, namely the Rencong shape, the Malay Songket Fabric shape, and the Batak Ulos Fabric shape. One index in the form of 5 torches, and one symbol in the form of 3 rings, which symbolizes the parent container of Indonesian sports achievements. The logo also has 5 colors that have meaning for each color (red, yellow, green, white, and black). The PON 2024 logo successfully represents the event by combining local cultural elements that are rich in meaning and symbols that reflect the spirit of sports. With the modern design and deep philosophy, the logo not only functions as a visual identity but also as a symbol of the unity and mutual cooperation of the Indonesian people to make this sporting event a success.

Abstract

This study examines the use of language styles in the Battleshipmovie based on Martin Joos' (1967) theory that classifies language styles into five categories: frozen, formal, casual , consultative, and intimate. This study aims to identify the types of language styles in the movie dialogue and understand their functions in supporting social relationships between characters and storyline development. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with the data source in the form of Battleship movie dialog transcripts, which lasted 2 hours and 11 minutes. The data was collected through direct observation by watching the movie, recording the dialog, and classifying it based on the five categories of language style according to Martin Joos' theory. Analysis was conducted through tagging, coding, and interpreting the data to identify patterns, frequency, and linguistic characteristics in the dialogs. The findings show that of the 100 dialogues analyzed, casual language style dominates with a frequency of 50% of the total data. This language style reflects an intimate and relaxed atmosphere among the characters, relevant to friendly relationships and cooperation in the face of conflict. Formal style appears at 29%, consultative 12%, intimate 6%, and frozen only 3%. The dominance of casual style reflects the more informal context of communication in this movie, especially among friends and coworkers. The use of language styles in Battleship movie not only reflects the dynamics of social relationships between characters but also plays a role in building the atmosphere of the narrative and supporting the audience's understanding of the conflict in the story. This research contributes to linguistic studies, particularly in understanding stylistic variations in film media, as well as providing references for further research on stylistics in other media such as television series or video games.
