Abstract

This study addresses the role of metaphor in song lyrics, a key issue in understanding how abstract emotions and experiences are linguistically and cognitively represented, particularly within contemporary music. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes twelve selected songs from the Collide With The Sky album. The study is grounded in Lakoff and Johnson’s (2003) conceptual metaphor theory, which classifies metaphors into structural, orientational, and ontological types. Metaphorical expressions within the lyrics are systematically identified, categorized, and interpreted through their conceptual mappings between source and target domains. The analysis reveals a total of 113 metaphorical expressions, comprising 34 structural metaphors, 11 orientational metaphors, and 68 ontological metaphors. These findings demonstrate that metaphor plays a crucial role in shaping the emotional tone, thematic complexity, and stylistic expression of the lyrics. Furthermore, metaphor functions as a cognitive tool that helps clarify abstract emotions and ideas, enabling the articulation of personal experiences, internal conflicts, and emotional struggles in a poetic and meaningful manner.

Abstract

Swearing is the primary notion in this study. There are two objectives of this study, which are to classify the types of swearing in the series and categorize their motive. Swearing, in all its forms, has historically been both revered and reviled. It can serve as a cathartic release of emotion, a vehicle for rebellion against societal norms, or a sharp tool for emphasis. The analysis was conducted based on the theories proposed by Pinker (2007) and Stapleton (2003). Battistela (2005) differentiated swearing into 5 categories; Dysphemistic, Abusive, Idiomatic, Emphatic, Cathartic. Stapleton (2003) formulated the motives of swearing into nine types: story-telling, emphasis, anger/tension release, habit, normality, intimacy, vulnerability, part of personality, a way to shock. The analyzed data taken from a TV series Peaky Blinders. The collected data is analyzed by using the descriptive qualitative method since it did not involve any numerical data. Through the analysis, the use of swearing in a speech is revealed that the background of the character contributes to the family characteristics, in which it can affect their verbal aptitude and attitude, whether they will be good or bad. The Shelby family mostly swear because of the need to release or express their anger caused by the problems that they are facing on a daily basis and it is almost impossible for them to not express their emotions and anger in a form of swearing.

Abstract

In contemporary digital environments, advertising plays a significant role in how people perceive and behave when it comes to choosing products. Brands use strategically selected verbal and visual elements to influence consumers, often implicitly. Although many researchers have examined how advertising can persuade people, there is still a limited integration between semiotic theory and how meaning is actually created in contemporary fast-food advertising practices. This study aims to identify and explain the verbal and visual signs found in selected Burger King advertisements, focusing on how these signs interact to deliver persuasive messages and strengthen brand identity. This research adopts a qualitative method with a semiotic approach. The data were collected using observation and documentation methods from Burger King’s official Instagram posts. Five advertisements were selected based on their extensive use of verbal and visual elements. The data were analyzed using Chandler’s theory of signs (symbolicity, iconicity, and indexicality) and supported by Clair’s theory of color to examine the emotional impact of visual elements. The analysis reveals that verbal signs in the advertisements are predominantly categorized as symbolicity, using familiar cultural expressions and internet language to attract the audience. Visual primarily function as iconicity by realistically depicting food products to evoke appetite, while color choices enhance emotional appeal and visual focus. The study concludes that Burger King successfully integrates verbal and visual signs to create advertisements that are visually appealing, culturally resonant, and emotionally persuasive. These findings highlight the effectiveness of semiotic principles in advertising practice and contribute to a deeper understanding of how fast-food brands construct meaning and identity in the digital space.
