Abstract

This study investigates the use of figurative language in Bruno Mars' song lyrics, focusing on how various figurative expressions enhance emotional depth and convey meaning in his works. Guided by Knickerbocker and Reninger's framework, this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach supported by content analysis to identify, classify, and interpret figurative expressions in four Bruno Mars albums: Doo-Wops and Hooligans, Unorthodox Jukebox, 24K Magic, and An Evening with Silk Sonic. The analysis is conducted in four systematic stages: identification, categorization, interpretation, and contextual analysis of the figurative language found in the lyrics. This study is motivated by the growing recognition that song lyrics, particularly in popular music, function as a form of poetic and cultural expression. Bruno Mars was chosen as the focus of the analysis because of his global influence, genre diversity, and the sophistication of his lyrics, which often involve the creative use of figurative language to express universal human experiences such as love, heartbreak, ambition, and joy. The four albums were chosen to explore how the diversity of figurative language reflects his artistic evolution and emotional range throughout his career. The findings reveal eight distinct types of figurative language, with metaphor and hyperbole being the most dominant. These devices serve to intensify emotions, create vivid imagery, and accentuate expressive nuances in his songwriting, while personification, simile, irony, and symbolism add depth and aesthetic variety. The figurative language in Bruno Mars' lyrics serves as an artistic and communicative device that bridges literal meaning and emotional resonance. This study is expected to contribute to the fields of linguistics and stylistics by demonstrating how popular music integrates creative language to express complex emotions and cultural meanings. It also provides a methodological model for analyzing figurative language in various musical works. Furthermore, this research offers pedagogical value for non-native English speakers, helping them interpret English song lyrics more accurately and appreciate their figurative meanings, thereby preventing misinterpretation and enriching linguistic competence and cultural understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to identify specific activities within the English Training Camp that contribute to improving students' speaking skills and to explore students' perceptions regarding the effectiveness of these activities at the Nurul Haramain Islamic Boarding School. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The participants consisted of three tutors and 15 students actively participating in the English Training Camp program, selected from a total population of 200 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, and subsequently analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the English Training Camp positively contributes to enhancing students' speaking skills through the various activities organized, with "Tick Talk" identified as the most effective activity. These activities help students improve their English speaking abilities through daily speaking practice, competitions, and the "Super Camp" program. Furthermore, students held positive perceptions of the English Training Camp—with 84.67% of responses categorized as positive—attributing this to the program's supportive learning environment, tutor guidance, and opportunities for active English practice in daily communication. Among the activities conducted, "Tick Talk"—part of the Super Camp program—was deemed the most effective for boosting students' speaking skills and self-confidence. The study implies that non-formal language programs featuring structured communicative activities can serve as an effective model for developing speaking skills within an Islamic boarding school setting.

Abstract

Traditional healing practices using mantras are still preserved by the Sasak people in Benteng Selatan Village, North Lendang Nangka, East Lombok. This study aims to describe the form, meaning, and function of Sasak healing mantras in traditional healing practices using a semantic theory approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews with three female traditional healers (belian), audio recordings of mantra chanting, field notes, and transcription. Data analysis techniques are carried out through four stages: identification of linguistic units in mantras, classification based on form, meaning, and function, description of semantic and stylistic features, and explanation using Émile Durkheim's functionalism theory. The results show that there are eight healing mantras that are still used to treat various diseases such as melihatk (disturbed spirits), kotong (burns/inflammation), stomach aches, broken bones, wounds, scorpion stings, crying babies, and childbirth. Structurally, these mantras are in the form of short lines (3–5 lines), have rhythmic patterns, repetition, and metaphors, and generally begin with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. In terms of meaning, these mantras contain lexical and contextual meanings that symbolize purification, protection, exorcism of evil spirits, and restoration of physical and spiritual balance. Functionally, these mantras play a role in three aspects: spiritual (communication with divine powers), social (strengthening relationships between community members), and psychological (providing positive suggestions, calmness, and hope for healing). The implications of this research indicate that Sasak healing mantras are not merely traditional therapeutic tools, but also function as a medium for preserving local language, culture, and identity. This research contributes to the academic documentation of local knowledge and enriches linguistic studies, particularly in the fields of semantics and ethnolinguistics in the context of Indonesian culture.
