Abstract

Song can be used as a medium of expression because it expel feelings and thoughts as well as a medium of entertainment. Song lyrics created by composers often use distinctive language to create aesthetic effects, such as figurative language and imagery. Unfortunately, the use of it often makes listeners not fully aware of the song meaning and not feeling the emotions that are actually intended to be conveyed. This study aims to reveal the meanings and messages implied in the lyrics of Katy Perry's song Roar through an analysis of figurative language and imagery from a feminism perspective. The method used is descriptive qualitative through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and the last is drawing conclusions. The results showed that there were 7 types of figurative language; simile, metaphor, personification, synecdoche, symbol, paradox, and hyperbole. In addition, Katy also uses 4 types of imagery; visual imagery, auditory imagery, organic imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. All the figurative language and imagery represent Katy's feelings and struggles against the downturn during her relationship with her ex-lover and managed to get up hence she can love herself. This is the message that Katy wants to convey to all women in the world that they are precious beings who have choices in their lives and are able to stand alone without any help from men.Keywords: feminism; figurative language; imagery; Roar song; women empowerment.

Abstract

This study analyzed politeness and impoliteness strategies in the British sitcom Mind Your Language (1977), focusing on cross-cultural interactions within a multilingual classroom. Using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory and Culpeper’s (2005) impoliteness framework, the research examined 13 episodes to identify how characters employed language strategies to maintain social harmony or assert dominance. The findings revealed that positive politeness was the most frequently used strategy, fostering group cohesion, while bald-on-record impoliteness occurred in authority-asserting situations. This study highlights the role of humor in shaping perceptions of politeness and impoliteness and demonstrates how cultural diversity influences communication styles. These insights contribute to the understanding of cross-cultural pragmatics and are valuable for linguists, educators, and media analysts. The research underscores the necessity of cultural awareness in multilingual interactions, suggesting implications for language teaching and intercultural competence development.
