Abstract

This research explores Johnny Cash's song lyrics using George Lakoff's metaphor theory. It aims to understand the metaphorical expressions in Cash's song lyrics by analyzing their recurring themes and their connection to the socio-cultural context of the artist's era. The research includes identify metaphorical expressions and examine thematic motifs, the cultural and historical context that influenced the author's use of metaphors. The research also examined the influence of metaphorical language on the narrative depth and affective impact of Cash's compositions. Grounded theory in established metaphor analysis and the function of metaphor in artistic expression, the research expands upon the cognitive linguistic perspective by situating the analysis within Lakoff's theory. It gains insight into how metaphors communicate complex emotions, abstract ideas, and societal contemplations in Cash's lyrics. The research uses a systematic methodology to select songs and employs techniques for identifying metaphors based on Lakoff's theoretical framework. Thematic analysis is used to identify recurring patterns within the metaphorical expressions, while cultural contextualization helps understand the factors that shaped Cash's imaginative use of metaphors. This research had significant contribution to musicology, literary studies, and cultural analysis. By analyzing the metaphorical depth of Cash's lyrics from Lakoff's theory, it provides an original perspective on the artist's thought process and enhances the understanding of the lasting importance and thematic complexity of his contributions in contemporary music.

Abstract

This research entitles the analysis of communicative translation at the opening speech of the KTT G-20 Bali Summit by President Jokowi: We must end the war”. The use of communicative language in translating text using the communicative translation method. Communicative language is used so that readers or listeners can take meaning from the contents of the text in accordance with the meaning that has been written by the author. This communicative language is always successful if it is used in the same language as the target language. However, it will be very much different. If the contents of the text use a different language. Then the translator must be able to translate the contents into the text in the target language. This is a little difficult to implement because translators still find it difficult to distinguish between free translation and communicative translation. Therefore, the translator must first analyze the text whether it is in accordance with the linguistic aspects or its content so that it can be accepted and understood by the reader. In this case, this research is based on the translation carried out in the speech of Opening Speech KTT G20 Bali Summit by President Jokowi: We Must End the War. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted to describe and find out what form of communicative language that used in speech text. It also aims to compare the meaning of the original speech text with the translated text, whether the meaning of the two texts remains the same or changes. In addition, it is a source for readers to know how to analyze communicative translation.

Abstract

This investigation investigates the impact of a two-way conversation strategy on the speaking performance of tenth-grade students at SMA Wirakarya Mandiri Medan. A genuine experimental design was implemented, with 160 students being divided into two groups: an experimental group that implemented the two-way conversation strategy and a control group that implemented conventional teaching methods. The students' speaking performance was assessed in areas such as fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary through pre- and post-tests. The experimental group exhibited substantial improvement in the results, with scores increasing from a pre-test range of 60–79 to a post-test range of 75–89. Conversely, the control group demonstrated negligible improvement, with post-test scores ranging from 61 to 77. The study's results indicate that the two-way conversation strategy substantially improves students' speaking performance in comparison to conventional methods. The results of this study indicate that the two-way conversation strategy can be a successful method for enhancing English-speaking performance in classroom environments, providing educators with a better understanding of more interactive and engaging teaching methods.

Abstract

Causative Constructions are central to understanding how languages encode cause-and-effect relationships. In Austronesian languages, they exhibit diverse strategies ranging from affixation to periphrastic structures. This research investigates causative constructions in Acehnese language with the aim of identifying their main types and analysing their structures through X-Bar Theory. Data were collected from native Acehnese speakers via field observations, semi-structured interviews, and supported with written texts, and were analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal two structural patterns: mono-clause (single-clause) and bi-clause (two-clause) constructions. Within these, three causative types emerge: (1) morphological causatives, formed with prefixes such as peu- and seu- that increase a verb’s argument structure (valency); (2) paraphrastic causatives, employing auxiliary verbs such as geu-yue and peu-gèt in bi-clause constructions; and (3) semantic causatives, where verbs like geu-plén inherently encode causative meaning without structural modification. Morphological and semantic causatives are generally mono-clause, while paraphrastic causatives are typically bi-clause. Applying X-Bar Theory enables a formal representation of how the causer (initiator), cause (event), and causee (affected participant) are hierarchically organized in Acehnese syntax, revealing systematic patterns of valency shift and clause complexity. Unlike most previous studies, which have largely offered descriptive accounts, this research demonstrates how X-Bar Theory—rarely applied to Acehnese language—can capture the interaction between morphology, semantics, and syntax in a formal model. In short, this research not only enriches the description of Acehnese language causatives but also fills a theoretical gap by contributing a formal syntactic representation of Acehnese language causatives through X-bar theory, an approach rarely explored in previous researches and contributed to broader discussions of syntactic theory in Austronesian languages.

Abstract

The development of English-speaking skills is essential for students, particularly in today’s globalized world, where effective communication is crucial. Despite this, many students face challenges in achieving speaking proficiency, resulting in a gap between their current abilities and desired outcomes. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the CAKE mobile application, an interactive language learning app that focuses on improving speaking skills through real-time practice and feedback, in enhancing students' speaking skills through Classroom Action Research (CAR). Involving 20 junior high school students, the study employed both qualitative (observations) and quantitative (pre-test and post-test) data collection methods. Results indicated significant improvement in speaking performance, with the post-test mean score increasing from 73.50 in Cycle I to 85.10 in Cycle II. Additionally, the percentage of students meeting the minimum mastery criterion (KKM) rose from 25% to 85%. The findings suggest that integrating the CAKE mobile application into the curriculum serves as an effective tool for enhancing speaking proficiency.
