Abstract

Abstract  Few realize that swearing is not always used to express negative emotions. It can also be utilized to convey positive feelings, such as compliments. Swearing in compliments is a phenomenon identified on X, the social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter. The purpose of this study is to examine the pragmatic meaning and the pragmatic function of racial swearing in compliments on X. This study is classified as descriptive qualitative research. The data of this study consisted of racial swearing in the compliment utterances on X. The observational method was used to gather the data. In the meantime, the data were analyzed using the identity method by referring to the theories of Hughes (2006), Kreidler (2002), Ljung (2011), and Spears (2000). The results of the data analysis are presented by using informal method. The study's findings demonstrate that the racial swearing in compliments on social media X has the pragmatic meaning of ‘guy’. In addition, it has pragmatic functions as noun supports and anaphoric use of epithets. As a noun support, the racial swearing was used to assist the compliment word, which was usually in the form of an adjective. On the other hand, as the anaphoric use of epithets, the racial swearing was used as an anaphoric pronoun, a pronoun that refers back to another noun in the utterance. It is anticipated that this study would lessen the misunderstanding that Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students may have when interacting with other English speakers on social media X.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap dan memahami penerapan lima kode semiotika Roland Barthes dalam cerpen A.A. Navis, “Man Rabuka”, yang dipilih karena kekayaannya akan tanda-tanda sosial dan simbol-simbol budaya. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini menerapkan pendekatan objektif dalam menganalisis kata, frasa, dan klausa yang mengandung lima kode Barthes: hermeneutik, konotatif (semes), simbolik, aksian, dan budaya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kode-kode tersebut beroperasi secara berlapis untuk membongkar makna tersembunyi dan kritik sosial narasi. Kode hermeneutik menciptakan misteri melalui pertanyaan tentang keheningan desa dan stigma pengkhianat. Kode konotatif mengungkapkan kekosongan spiritual karakter Jamain melalui ekspresi penderitaan batin dan atribusi ironis kualitas surgawi pada keburukan duniawi (opium, tuak). Kode simbolik menyajikan oposisi biner yang runtuh antara Pahlawan (sang kakak) dan narator (Aku), yang pada akhirnya ditiadakan oleh kekuatan Kelupaan. Kode aksian memetakan urutan peristiwa penting, terutama penyiksaan sang pahlawan dan tindakan satir Jamain menyuap Malaikat Kubur. Terakhir, Kode budaya diwujudkan melalui istilah agama dan Minangkabau seperti Tuanku, malin, dan frasa judul Man Rabuka. Kesimpulannya, pendekatan semiotika Barthes berhasil mendekonstruksi “Man Rabuka” sebagai sistem tanda yang kompleks, merefleksikan pandangan dunia penulis dan kritik sosial terhadap masyarakat yang terjebak dalam formalisme dan materialisme.
