Abstract

The purpose of this work is to describe how active and passive sentence constructions are built in the Karo language, with a focus on syntactic construction patterns. This research is important because the morphological and syntactic systems of the Karo language differ from other regional languages in Indonesia, requiring in-depth research to add new data to regional language linguistic research and regional language preservation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected from three native speakers of Karo aged between 20 and 50 years old who live in Berastagi subdistrict, North Sumatra, to provide research data in the form of active Karo sentences and passive Karo sentences. The data collection techniques used in this study were interviews, recordings, and transcriptions using the ELAN application. The research analysis model used was the Miles & Huberman (1984) model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion formulation. Source triangulation was used for data validity. The findings of the analysis on the construction of active sentences in the Karo language show that the agent is the subject, the verb is the predicate, and the patient is the object. Active sentences have verbs with the prefixes n- and m-. There are syntactic patterns such as SVO (Subject-Verb-Object), VSO (Verb-Subject-Object), and VOS (Verb-Object-Subject) in the formation of active sentences in the Karo language. Then, passive sentence constructions have the patient as the subject, the verb as the predicate, and the prepositional phrase as an optional object. In passive sentences in the Karo language, there are SVPP (Subject-Verb-Prepositional Phrase) and VPPS (Verb-Prepositional Phrase-Subject) patterns. Passive sentences are distinguished by the prefix i- and the infix i-...-i. The results of this study will contribute to the preservation of the Karo language as part of Indonesia's linguistic and cultural diversity and enhance research on regional linguistics.

Abstract

This study explores the construction of meaning through verbal and non-verbal signs in the Dior Sauvage advertisement featuring Johnny Depp. The research is grounded in Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, which examines meaning at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. The study addresses how linguistic and visual elements within the advertisement construct and reinforce representations of masculinity. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected from selected scenes focusing on verbal signs, such as brand naming and lexical choices, as well as non-verbal signs, including color, setting, costume, and body language. The findings reveal that the advertisement constructs masculinity through signs associated with strength, mystery, freedom, and independence. At the mythological level, the advertisement reinforces an ideological representation of ideal masculinity as dominant, emotionally restrained, and deeply connected to nature. The study concludes that meaning in advertising is not naturally inherent but socially and culturally produced through interconnected systems of signs that shape audience perceptions and ideological understanding.
