Abstract

The arrangement of words in a grammatically correct sentence can sometimes still lead to multiple interpretations. BBC News, in its Instagram posts, contains sentences that are structurally ambiguous. Therefore, this study aims to find out types of structural ambiguity on BBC News’ Instagram posts that are published from February 2021 until July 2022 and the interpretations arise from those ambiguities. This study uses qualitative method with document analysis technique. The analysis is done by some steps: investigating which word or phrase that makes the sentences become ambiguous, categorizing the ambiguities to their each types, finding out meanings that are produced by those ambiguities, parsing the sentences by using tree diagram, and interpreting the actual meaning of the news headlines or sentences by relating it to the context. The result shows that there are fifty posts from BBC News that contain sentences which are structurally ambiguous. Using theory of Hirst, those ambiguities are categorized as attachment and analytical ambiguity. The ambiguities are mostly caused by phrases that are unclear what their functions are in a sentence. From the result, it can be seen that structural ambiguity is a language phenomenon that is still widely found in our surrounding, not to mention the news headlines.

Abstract

Abstract    This research examines the psychological effects of language manipulation in George Orwell's Animal Farm using Van Dijk's sociocognitive approach. The study explores how language, through strategic manipulation, reinforces social control and psychological subjugation of characters at three levels: micro, meso, and macro. Using in-depth text reading and analysis methods, this study identifies linguistic structures, character interactions, and ideological constructions that contribute to the psychological effects on animals. At the micro level, word choice and sentence structure shape individual perceptions, instilling fear and encouraging obedience. At the meso level, social interactions between characters display emotional manipulation tactics that reinforce collective loyalty and obedience. The macro level highlights ideological changes in social structures, where language systematically conditions characters to accept unjust hierarchies as natural. These manipulative techniques cumulatively suggest that language functions as a tool of psychological control, influencing both individual cognition and collective behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representamen, object, and interpretant found in Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics and how those elements reflect the types of love. This research is classified as descriptive qualitative research. The researcher uses content analysis with an interpretive framework based on Charles Sander Peirce’s semiotics theory. The data for this research consist of the lyrics of three songs from Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet album entitled “Please Please Please”, “Juno”, and “Sharpest tool”. The research result show that there are three types of love in the lyrics of these songs: self love, intimate love, and obsessive love. The love signs in the songs are conveyed through peirce’s triadic theory, which includes representamen,object, and interpretant. The songs in this album are narrated from a first-person point of view, and the narrator also exhibits characteristics of woman’s language, including lexical hedges, intensifiers, emphatic stress, super polite forms, tag questions, empty adjectives, and precise color terms.
