Abstract

Slang plays a crucial role in shaping linguistic style and cultural expression in contemporary music, particularly in hip-hop lyrics. Although numerous studies have examined slang in general, limited attention has been given to secondary slang in song lyrics and its contribution to meaning and stylistic expression, especially in Drake’s work. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the use of secondary slang in Drake’s song “8am in Charlotte,” with a focus on how secondary slang constructs meaning and enriches the linguistic and cultural depth of the lyrics. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study identifies 27 slang expressions in the song, of which 5 are classified as secondary slang. The theoretical framework integrates (Kipfer & Chapman’s, 2007) classification of slang with (Claire, 1990) theory of meaning to interpret how secondary slang conveys contextual, social, and expressive meanings. The findings indicate that although secondary slang appears less frequently than other types of slang in the song, its presence is recurrent and functionally significant in conveying meaning and stylistic expression. This finding demonstrates that secondary slang functions as a strategic linguistic resource rather than merely informal language, contributing to the reinforcement of social identity and the enhancement of lyrical expression. In conclusion, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the semantic and sociocultural functions of secondary slang in contemporary music and provides a valuable reference for future research in linguistics, popular culture, and music studies.

Abstract

Pengemudi wisata di Nusa Penida memiliki peran penting dalam pelayanan pariwisata karena berinteraksi langsung dengan wisatawan domestik maupun mancanegara. Namun, dalam praktiknya masih ditemukan berbagai tantangan, terutama keterbatasan kemampuan bahasa Inggris dasar seperti minimnya kosakata, kesulitan menyusun kalimat sederhana, rendahnya kepercayaan diri dalam berbicara, serta ketergantungan pada aplikasi penerjemah. Kondisi tersebut sering menyebabkan terjadinya miskomunikasi dalam penyampaian informasi rute, destinasi wisata, estimasi waktu perjalanan, dan instruksi keselamatan, yang pada akhirnya dapat menurunkan kualitas pelayanan wisata. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi dan penguasaan bahasa Inggris dasar pengemudi wisata melalui pendekatan edukasi interaktif. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 20 Desember 2025 di Nusa Penida, Klungkung, Bali, dengan melibatkan 27 pengemudi wisata sebagai peserta. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi sosialisasi interaktif, latihan praktik, diskusi partisipatif, sesi tanya jawab, serta pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan komunikasi efektif sebesar 86% dan penguasaan bahasa Inggris dasar sebesar 83,6%. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pembelajaran berbasis praktik interaktif efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi komunikasi dan kemampuan bahasa Inggris dasar pengemudi wisata. Kegiatan ini juga mendorong peserta untuk menerapkan komunikasi yang lebih ramah, jelas, dan profesional dalam pelayanan wisata.

Abstract

This study examines substitution errors in the English pronunciation of President Joko Widodo, focusing on a speech delivered at the “ASEAN–Australia Special Summit 2018.” The research aims to describe the systematic substitution patterns that occur in his pronunciation and to explain how these are influenced by his first languages (L1), Javanese and Indonesian. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected through repeated video observation, phonetic transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and comparison with standard British English pronunciations from the Cambridge Dictionary. The analysis is framed within Roach’s (1991) segmental phonology, which classifies vowel and consonant changes by articulatory features, and Brown’s (2008) theory of language transfer, which explains how L1 sound systems influence L2 production. The results show 28 recurring substitutions, such as /v/ → /f/ or /p/, /θ/ → /t/, diphthong simplification to monophthongs, vowel shifts to fit the Indonesian/Javanese five-vowel system, and hyper-articulation of weak syllables. These findings confirm that the deviations are not incidental but stem from systematic L1 interference, aligning with prior research on Indonesian EFL learners’ pronunciation challenges. This study contributes to understanding how high-profile non-native English speakers adapt segmental features in formal, international contexts, and the findings have pedagogical implications for pronunciation training, particularly in preparing speakers for contexts where intelligibility and accuracy are critical. Keywords: pronunciation errors, substitution patterns, Javanese, Indonesian, language transfer.
