Abstract

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and how they are function and interpreted in communication. This Semiotic research aims to analyse logos found in social media applications using a semiotic approach from Roland Barthes' theory. Barthes' theory can explore how the visual elements in logos convey implied meaning. Descriptive qualitative methods were used in this research. Data sourced are taken from app store screenshots totally 35 logos and the author selected seven logo's. The research results show that logos on social media applications have visual signs. In terms of denotation, the music symbol logo depicts entertainment, the green circle with a telephone icon represents communication, or the triangle resembles a speech balloon which represents interaction. In the connotation meaning there is a deeper meaning and evokes an emotional response. For example, bright colors reflect passion and creativity, while blue can be seen as a symbol of trust and stability. After the denotational and connotative meanings are revealed. A myth is formed summarizing a broader cultural narrative. The myth of these logos represents self-expression and global connectedness and gives the impression that communication can be done quickly, safely and also spread trends quickly. This research reveals that logos on social media applications not only function as visual identifiers but also encapsulate deeper meanings and narratives that can be received by users. Each logo has a distinctive and unique design as a platform identity, and also contains emotional and cultural meaning, so it is more than just a visual sign.

Abstract

This research investigates the challenges faced by students in translating poetry from English to Indonesian at HKBP Nommensen University. The complexity of poetic language, characterized by symbolic meanings, figures of speech, and ungrammatical structures, significantly complicates the translation process. A descriptive qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing a poetry translation test and interviews with 20 students. The findings reveal that students predominantly struggle with lexical choices, contextual understanding, and grammatical accuracy, resulting in ineffective translations. Most participants indicated difficulties in selecting appropriate diction and understanding poetic nuances, often leading to inaccuracies. The study concludes that enhancing vocabulary and translation skills through targeted instructional strategies could improve student performance in translating poetry. Recommendations for educators and students are provided to address these challenges effectively.

Abstract

The study is very important because when listening to songs, most people only focus on the music rather than the lyrics without knowing the meaning of the song. This study aims to find out the types of figurative language in “Short n Sweet” song album by Sabrina Carpenter and  how is the figurative language realized in the song album. This research used mix-method research namely quantitative and qualitative. This study used Perrine (1992) theory which classified figurative language into 12 types. However, this research only focuses into 6 types of figurative language with the research results of 97 data. There are Metaphor (16), Simile (14), Personification (9), Symbol (19), Hyperbole (23), and Irony (16). The realization is that there are six types of  figurative language, namely metaphors (comparing two different ideas, namely intelligence with sharpest tools and describing a partner with bee). Simile (make a direct comparison using the term "like"). Personification (inanimate objects namely fan and car are given human characteristics or talents). Symbol (use elements of numbers and drink brands with meanings that are different from their literal meanings). Hyperbole (use clearly exaggerated statements to emphasize certain feelings and situations). Irony (there is a mismatch between what is said or expected and the truth or deepest feelings behind the statement). This study is very important for english department and literature students, teacher, lecturer, and other researchers because it will teach them how to evaluate and analyze figurative language both in songs and in other media.
