Abstract

Rap lyrics creatively express identity and culture through unique word choices yet few studies have examined how word formation shapes their rhythm and social meaning This study explores how Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album reflects identity culture and resistance through creative word formation This study aims to identify and analyze the word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album and to explain how these processes shape meaning and reflect cultural expression The research used a qualitative descriptive method and Yule s 2019 theory of word formation processes as the analytical framework The data were taken from official lyrics of three songs in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album such as Steady Mobbin < em> True to the Game< em> and No Vaseline < em>and analyzed using document and content analysis techniques The findings showed that clipping and compounding were the most common word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album while borrowing blending acronyms coinage and derivation were used less often The frequent use of clipping shows that Ice Cube likes to make his words shorter to match the rhythm and sound more natural in everyday speech especially in African American Vernacular English AAVE Compounding helps Ice Cube create strong and meaningful words like motherfucker< em> and homeboys< em> that show identity culture and closeness in his community The other word formation types appear less often but still make the lyrics more creative and give deeper meaning to the songs These results indicate that Ice Cube intentionally used word formation to strengthen his artistic style cultural identity and social commentary showing that rap lyrics are not only entertainment but also a rich form of linguistic and cultural expression < p>

Abstract

Animated movies use language not only to tell stories but also to express culture emotion and values While many studies have examined moral and cultural aspects in animation few have focused on how characters use politeness strategies to manage relationships and express emotions Previous research on Coco< em> mainly discussed family and tradition without linking them to the pragmatic function of language and Face Threatening Acts FTAs Coco< em> 2017 offers a new perspective as its dialogues show how politeness and emotional expression shape identity and harmony in family communication This study aims to identify and analyze the types of politeness strategies used in Coco< em> based on Brown and Levinson s 1987 theory and to explain their functions in maintaining relationships between the two characters Miguel and Hector The research used a qualitative descriptive method and applied content analysis to the movie s dialogues focusing on interactions between Miguel and H ctor The findings showed that positive politeness was the most dominant strategy while negative politeness appeared less frequently in moments of disagreement or emotional tension This suggests that Miguel and H ctor s interactions emphasize solidarity and emotional closeness reflecting their growing bond and mutual respect throughout the film These results indicate that the use of politeness strategies in Coco< em> reflects not only linguistic politeness but also the film s broader themes of empathy respect and family connection Coco < em>demonstrates that language in animated films functions as both a communicative and cultural tool for expressing emotion and maintaining social harmony < p>
