Abstract

The exploration of literature transcends the boundaries of written texts, encompassing a diverse array of expressions, including spoken or sung compositions like song lyrics. While on the surface, songs may seem to convey straightforward messages, beneath it lies a labyrinth of symbols and nuances that beckon listeners to interpret. This interpretive process demands a nuanced understanding and a willingness to explore the depths of lyrical expression. This research aims to unravel the significance of each letter in the word "RHODESIA" and to unravel the intricate composition of the portmanteau "Rhodesian" within the lyrics of John Edmond's ‘The Last Word in Rhodesian’ song using Ferdinand de Saussure's dyadic model of semiosis and employing qualitative research methodology with historical approach. Through meticulous analysis, the findings reveal the profound symbolism interwoven within the lyrics, which serves to encapsulate the historical essence of Rhodesia. The songwriter adeptly utilizes the arrangement of each letter in the word "RHODESIA" to encapsulate phrases emblematic of the Rhodesian Bush War and alluding to the names of significant Rhodesian figures; Rhodes and Ian, symbolically forming the word “Rhodesian”. In doing so, the song becomes a poignant tribute to the complex tapestry of Rhodesian history.

Abstract

Language is employed in building human interaction, especially in class-stratified situations. Language is examined as a form of class manipulation through speech style and politeness strategy in Parasite (2019). Theory can categorize speech and politeness, but their employment tactically is likely to differ in real-life situations as well as in narrative. The way people speak in different social settings has long been a focus in areas like pragmatics and sociolinguistics, and Parasite offers a rich example of how language reflects deeper social structures. Drawing on Martin Joos’s speech style theory and Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, the results recognize that the Kim family employs a formal and consultative style to claim social legitimacy and that intimate speech achieves emotional bonding. They also employ positive politeness for rapport-building, negative politeness for expressing deference, and bald-on-record or off-record strategies to achieve control and hide agendas. In general, the study reaffirms that language in Parasite is a tactical instrument of class mobility, manipulation, and social scheming

Abstract

The song Watch the World Burn by Falling in Reverse expresses the emotional and psychological struggles of the artist, who grapples with trauma, depression, and internal conflict as conveyed through the lyrics. This study aims to analyze the emotional states and psychoanalytic conflicts portrayed in the song. Using a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis techniques, the data were obtained from the song’s lyrics and examined through the lens of Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and literary psychology. The analysis classified the psychological expressions into themes of trauma, defense mechanisms such as repression, projection and sublimation, and the tension between primal impulses and social constraints. The results reveal that the lyrics articulate complex psychological conflicts and emotional states through rich metaphor and symbolism. This study highlights the role of contemporary song lyrics as a medium for psychological expression and contributes to literary psychology by deepening the understanding of how artists convey unconscious conflicts in their work.
