Abstract

Metaphor is one of the most effective strategies for making literary works more evocative, striking, and beautiful. Metaphor's significance goes beyond literature to cognitive stylistics, which studies the cognitive processes that underpin language use and interpretation. This study aims to explain the types of conceptual metaphors found in the Lonestar song lyrics "I'm Already There" using Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual theory. The research method used in this study is a descriptive-qualitative method. The research results show that there are 7 conceptual metaphors found in Lonestar's song lyrics "I'm Already There". The results revealed that it contains all forms of conceptual metaphors. Structural metaphors were the most common (43%). Followed by ontological metaphors were also popular (43%). While orientational was the least (14%). Thus, both structural and orientational metaphors dominated the lyrics of "I'm Already There" by Lonestar. This use of metaphorical language incorporates both abstract and physical components, setting the song's narrative apart from others. Overall, the use of structural and ontological metaphors in Lonestar's "I'm Already There" highlights their significant impact on the song's lyrical composition.

Abstract

Problems that often occur in learning need to be clarified when communicating. This is related to the use of code-mixing and connection switching in learning. This research aims to analyze the types of code-switching and code-mixing in online teaching, how English teachers use code-switching and code-mixing, and why teachers switch and mix speech. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive design. The objects of this research were three English teachers. Data was collected via Zoom video recording of the teacher's speech. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model. The research results show that the type of code-switching teachers do most often is inter-sentential code-switching. There are 51 types, with a percentage of 50.49%. The code-mixing that teachers most often do is inserting (words). The total is 71 types, with a percentage of 70.29%. Finally, the most common reason teachers change and mix codes in speech is clarification of the content of speech, and the number is 8 with a percentage of 29.62%.

Abstract

The use of figurative language in music is a crucial element that allows songwriters to communicate complex human emotions that literal language often fails to capture. While many studies have explored stylistic devices in popular music, a gap persists between general stylistic analysis and the specific ways contemporary artists use these tools to construct narratives of profound emotional distress. This study aims to identify the types of figurative language used in LANY’s album Malibu Nights and to explain how these devices function as expressions of the speaker's emotional journey. Using a descriptive qualitative method and Perrine’s (1992) theory, the research analyzed the lyrics of nine tracks from the album. The findings reveal nine types of figurative language: metaphor, simile, personification, synecdoche, paradox, symbol, hyperbole, apostrophe, and understatement. The data analysis shows that metaphor is the most dominant device, accounting for 39,39% of the total findings, followed by hyperbole at 19,70%, while other devices, such as personification and simile, appear at lower frequencies. Ultimately, this study concludes that figurative language is not merely an aesthetic addition but a primary linguistic vehicle that bridges the gap between private suffering and universal resonance, successfully articulating the multifaceted nature of human resilience within modern songwriting.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of sound in establishing the meaning of the poem Fast Rode the Knight by Stephen Crane. Sound usage in poetry is not merely associated with aesthetic effects, but in some cases, it may serve as one of the instruments of interpreting the meaning. Therefore, this study tries to find out what consonants and vowels dominate in the poem and whether there is any connection between the sounds and the implied meaning of the poem. In order to accomplish it, a qualitative approach incorporating phonostylistic analysis was used. Data was acquired through repeated readings of the poem and transcribing the sounds into phonetics for each line. Sounds were then classified and analyzed according to their frequency for the determination of the dominant consonants and vowels. From the results, the most dominant consonant sounds in the poem are the /t/, /l/, /s/, /d/, and /n/ sounds, while the most dominant vowel sounds are /ə/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /æ/, as well as /i/, /ɔ/, and /aɪ/. Through the sounds that dominate in the poem, the word “lost” can be formed, even though it does not explicitly appear in the poem. The word carries the entire meaning of the poem, where there is a comparison between the heroic description at the start and the ultimate end that depicts the element of loss and incompleteness. From the findings, it can be concluded that sound patterns could also contribute to meaning making and give an additional layer in interpreting poems, other than looking at the text

Abstract

Research on humor in films is still predominantly dominated by pragmatic and cultural perspectives, thus providing limited explanation of how comedic effects emerge through structured cognitive processes in multimodal children’s films. This gap indicates a lack of integrative analysis that connects humor construction with narrative world-building mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the cognitive construction of humor in Air Buddies through the framework of Text World Theory. This study employs a qualitative interpretative design within the domain of Cognitive Stylistics. The research subjects consist of 30 dialogue excerpts selected purposively based on the presence of comedic elements and world-building indicators. Data were collected through documentation and non-participant observation using an analytical coding sheet as the research instrument. The instrument includes indicators of humor types, world-building components, and modal expressions. Data analysis was conducted through stages of humor classification, text-world mapping, modal-world analysis, and interpretative synthesis. The findings reveal that witty humor is the most dominant element, followed by parody, sarcasm, and playful humor, which function as cognitive triggers in modal-world shifts. The conclusion of this study shows that humor is cognitively constructed through layered world-building processes, thereby addressing the gap in understanding humor that has been limited to linguistic aspects. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating cognitive stylistics and Text World Theory as a comprehensive framework for analyzing humor in multimodal narratives.
