Abstract

This paper will examine the meanings embedded in memes through semiotic analysis. Semiotics, as proposed by Chandler (2007), is the study of signs and symbols and their meanings, particularly in the context of communication and representation. Internet memes are culturally significant artifacts that consist of visual and verbal signs which convey a shared experience or cultural reference within a community. The objective of this study is to explore the myth and ideology that is conveyed through the signs used in these memes, and to examine the message that is being communicated to the audience. The data were collected by using observation method which involves the selection of a sample of widely shared Internet memes on social media platforms. This study used qualitative method in analyzing the data. These memes were analyzed using semiotic analysis to identify the signs used in the Internet memes and their associated meanings. The findings suggest that memes are a form of communication that uses signifiers to convey a message, and the connotative meanings of these signifiers can reveal the myth and ideology behind the message. Memes convey cultural values and beliefs and can challenge or reinforce dominant cultural ideologies. Understanding them can shed light on cultural reproduction in society, with implications for media, cultural, and sociology studies in the digital age.

Abstract

This article is focused on how to analyse any moral values portrayed in the memoir "Educated," with particular emphasis on the protagonist, Tara Westover. The study intends to identify conflicts encountered by the main character through narration or dialogues with other characters, and to reveal moral values that emerge as she overcomes these conflicts. The research utilized a qualitative descriptive method and drew on the conflict theory proposed by Stanton (1965) and the theory of moral values put forth by Linda and Eyre (1993) to analyse data from the memoir. Two of the conflicts found in this study were both internal struggles by the main character involving her thoughts and feelings and external struggles with her father, abusive older brother, and family members who labelled her as a dangerous girl influenced by Satan. Through her resolution on these conflicts, the main character demonstrated various moral values, including self-reliance, self-discipline, courage, and respect. The study's findings emphasize the significance of spiritual metamorphosis in memoirs and literature, as well as how conflicts can facilitate such transformation. Keywords: conflicts, moral values, main character, memoir

Abstract

ABSTRACTPeople use spoken language in delivering their purposes. However, their utterancesusually have wider meaning than their literal meaning. This is mostly influenced by the contextwhen the speech occurred and the intention of the speaker. This research is aimed at identifyingimplicatures used by characters in Pride and Prejudice movie in their conversation. The termof ‘implicature’ is used to account for what a speaker can imply, suggest, or mean, as distinctfrom what the speaker literally says. Every utterance said by people does not consist only of aword with its literal meaning but also an intended meaning inside it. People’s intended meaningis mostly tied with the context of time when the utterance is uttered by the speaker. Thissituation makes each person or the hearer possibly have a different interpretation. Therefore, itis important to study language use. In conducting research, the researcher used descriptivequalitative method to identify and describe the implicatures. Observation method was used tocollect the data by watching the movie repeatedly and taking notes the dialogues which haveimplicatures. Then the selected data were analysed by using relevant theory about implicature.The finding shows that there are three types of implicatures in the character’s speech in Prideand Prejudice movie, i.e. (a) conventional implicatures in which the utterances can beautomatically interpreted by the words literally said; (b) generalized conversationalimplicatures in which no special knowledge is required in the context to calculate the additionalconveyed meaning; and (c) particularized conversational implicature in which specific contextis required to make an inference to reach the conveyed meaning.Keywords: conversation, implicature, conventional, generalized, particularizedABSTRAKOrang-orang menggunakan bahasa lisan dalam menyampaikan tujuan mereka.Namun, ucapan mereka biasanya memiliki makna yang lebih luas daripada makna harfiahnya.Ini sebagian besar dipengaruhi oleh konteks ketika pidato terjadi dan niat pembicara.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi implikatur yang digunakan oleh karakterdalam film Pride and Prejudice dalam percakapan mereka. Istilah 'implikatur' digunakanuntuk menjelaskan apa yang disiratkan, disarankan, atau diartikan oleh pembicara, berbedadari apa yang secara harfiah dikatakan oleh pembicara.

Abstract

Drug posters are intricate communicative artifacts that carry hidden connotations, myths, and ideologies. This article employs semiotic analysis to explore the layers of symbolism in these posters. By examining both verbal and visual signs, this study aims to uncover the connotative meanings embedded in drug posters and reveal the underlying myths and ideologies. Using Saussure's semiotic theory and Barthes' theory of meaning as frameworks, various drug posters were analyzed qualitatively. The findings highlight the complex interplay between verbal and visual signs, uncovering connotations, myths, and ideologies. This research enhances our understanding of the persuasive strategies in drug posters, offering insights into their socio-cultural impact. Verbal signs often conveyed warnings about the negative impacts of drug use, while visual signs reinforced these messages with additional layers of meaning

Abstract

This research investigates the semiotic dimensions of horror movie posters and how they use signs and pictures to communicate their genre-specific messages. The poster was selected for a popular horror movie in Indonesia. The verbal and visual signs on these posters were analyzed using semiotic theory as explained by Chandler (2007), studying the meaning of verbal and visual signs in terms of connotative and denotative meaning by Barthes (1968) and Cerrato's (2012) theory for interpreting the meaning of colors. Observation and note-taking techniques were used to collect data for this study. The data of this research was analyzed using the descriptive qualitative method. This research shows that selected posters effectively use dark, sinister imagery and bold, jagged typography to convey their horror themes. For instance, the use of a giant skull formed by twelve wrapped corpses in the “Siksa Kubur” poster creates a ghoulish and creepy image that resonates with cultural fears of death and the supernatural. The posters expressed both connotative and denotative meanings. Combining these elements creates a persuasive and engaging narrative that resonates with the cultural and supernatural themes prevalent in Indonesian horror. The posters, beyond being elements of the story, also act as marketing tools, effectively capturing and holding the audience's attention by using meaningful cultural symbols and emotions. These discoveries have important implications for filmmakers and marketers, indicating that a thorough grasp of cultural semiotics can improve horror films' narrative impact and market appeal.
