Abstract

Taylor Swift is an American singer who released the album Lover in 2019. In the album, there are songs titled "Death by Thousand Cuts" and "False God" whose lyrics tell about her love story. In this study, the researcher tries to reveal the meaning of the lyrics of the two songs with metaphors. Metaphors are often used in songwriting to implicitly convey meaning. Taylor Swift, who has always been known for her incredible lyrics, is no exception. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a metaphorical approach according to Ullman and Leech. The result obtained is that the two songs have the same number of metaphors. The song “Death by Thousand Cuts” has 6 metaphors out of 16 lines of lyrics, and the song “False God” has 6 metaphors out of 15 lines of lyrics. Then the metaphor with the highest number according to the data analysis is the type of metaphor from concrete to abstract with a total of 5. From the results of the analysis of the two songs, it proves that the role of metaphor in a song can help listeners understand meaning and feelings in depth. By using concrete to abstract metaphors, Taylor Swift tries to tell a clear story to listeners through her songs.

Abstract

The aim of the research is to describe how language dominance manifested in the spontaneous speech of a bilingual child. It focused on Ritsuki, a 3.5-year-old girl raised in a Japanese-Indonesian household, whose daily interactions were documented on the Ueno Family Japan YouTube channel. This research used psycholinguistics approach, which emphasized that language development was shaped by meaningful interaction and the frequency of use in real-life settings. Using a qualitative case study method, the research examines the child's natural language use across various everyday contexts. For data collection, three video recordings were selected for analysis based on the presence of verbal interactions between Ritsuki and her parents or peers. Each video was transcribed to capture Ritsuki’s utterances and to identify patterns of language use. The analysis focused on lexical choices and contextual cues that indicated language preference or dominance. The findings revealed that Ritsuki demonstrated Japanese dominance during structured routines, such as greetings and activities with her Japanese-speaking father. Indonesian was more commonly used in informal, relaxed conversations with her Indonesian mother and during peer interactions. Overall, these patterns suggested that Ritsuki’s language dominance was context-dependent, shaped by the speakers she interacted with and the social functions of each language in her environment.

Abstract

Housing names in Sumedang today often mix local and international words. This shows how developers try to connect with different kinds of people and follow modern trends. This research investigates the use of language in the naming of housing areas in Sumedang, a region where cultural heritage and urban development coexist. Employing an ethnolinguistic approach, the research aims to identify the language features present in housing names and examine how these names are used to attract specific buyer groups. The collected names were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, where lexical patterns were identified and interpreted to uncover their cultural, social, and linguistic meanings. The analysis revealed nine language features of housing names: Griya, Bumi, Residence, Grand, Cluster, Regency, Village, location-based names, and unique names. Each category reflects particular cultural meanings, social identities, and marketing strategies. The findings based on the analysis of nine naming features demonstrate that housing names are not merely functional but play a strategic role in shaping perceptions of lifestyle, modernity, and community values.

Abstract

This research analyzes the avoidance strategies of taboo words in Batu Gara Village, Sumedang, through Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory of myth. A qualitative design was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving five key informants and six villagers. The findings reveal that the myths embedded in taboo words such as Maung (tiger) and Péot (skinny) directly shape the community’s avoidance strategies. The belief in supernatural consequences (rain, lightning) naturalizes the myth, while historical normalization through generational transmission empties the reality of its history. The primary avoidance strategy of lexical substitution (e.g., Kerud for Maung) functions as a Barthesian ex-nomination to neutralize dangerous histories, while politeness rituals (punten) reinforce the myth’s authority. This research concludes that taboo word avoidance is not merely a linguistic prohibition but a semiotic performativity that perpetuates traditional ideology and social order.

Abstract

Children's literature plays an important role in shaping meaningful reading experiences through simple stories. One of the intrinsic elements that plays a role in building story continuity and conveying meaning is motif. Motif is a narrative element that appears repeatedly in a story and serves to strengthen the structure and meaning of the story. This study aims to identify the motifs found in the book 5 Dongeng Anak Dunia by Dedik Dwi Prihatmoko and analyse the role of these motifs in constructing the plot and meaning of the stories. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Stith Thompson's motif theory as the main theory. The research data consists of words, phrases, and events in five fairy tales that indicate the emergence of motifs. Data collection techniques were carried out through intensive reading and data recording, while data analysis was carried out by classifying motifs based on Thompson's motif categories and examining their functions in the story structure. The results show that motifs such as honesty, sacrifice, kindness, and courage appear repeatedly and function as plot drivers as well as a means of conveying moral values. These motifs help build the unity of the story and reinforce the meaning conveyed to child readers. Thus, this study confirms that motifs play an important role in creating a complete and meaningful reading experience in children's literature.

Abstract

Language in 86 (Eighty-Six) is used not only as a means of communication, but also as a tool to determine who is recognized as human and who is excluded from humanity. This study examines the representation of dehumanization and identity reclamation in Volume 1 of the light novel using a descriptive qualitative method and thematic analysis. The data consisted of 52 items taken from selected dialogues and narrations that describe the experiences of the Eighty-Six and their relationship with the Republic of San Magnolia. The data were classified into three main themes: institutional erasure of humanity, normalization and concealment of violence, and identity reclamation and resistance. Among these themes, identity reclamation and resistance was the most dominant, with 20 data items. This theme frequently appears through the efforts of the Spearhead Squadron members to maintain their names, personal memories, solidarity, dignity, and shared identity despite continuous discrimination. The findings also show that institutional language, labels, and military terms are used to reduce the Eighty-Six into objects, tools, and nonhuman beings. However, the characters gradually challenge these labels by reclaiming their identity and asserting their right to live as human beings. Therefore, language in the novel functions both as a tool of oppression and as a means of resistance, recognition, and identity reconstruction.
