Abstract

This research aims to investigate the hedging devices used by Raisa that occurred on Eric Nam’s Podcast Daebak Show Ep.138. It also aims to find out the type of hedging, the meaning of the hedging, and the purpose of using the hedging device by Raisa as a guest star on Eric Nam’s Podcast Daebak Show Ep.138. It is qualitative descriptive research. The object is data from Raisa’s utterances on Eric Nam’s podcast containing lexical hedging in words, phrases, or clauses. In the analysis, the theory used is the theory of taxonomy hedging by Salager-Meyer. The result of this research shows three results. The first result is the type of hedging used by Raisa that consists of five types: 1) modal verbs; 2) adjectival, adverbial, nominal modal verbs; 3) approximators of degree, quantity, frequency, and time; 4) introductory phrases; and 5) “if” clause. The next result is the purpose of hedging by Raisa, who tends to show politeness, make the sentence vaguer and less certain, tone down the force of the statement, and avoid the threatening statement by her addressee. The last result of this research shows how hedging by Raisa means saving her image and her addressee’s image.

Abstract

This study aimed to interpret the meaning of the song lyrics “Pacman” by EAJ. It used the semiotic analysis by Michael Riffaterre. The research was qualitative descriptive research. Data for the research was the lyrics of the Pacman song by EAJ. The research found that the heuristic reading process in the “Pacman” lyrics still discussed each line’s meaning. It was interpreted when a person loved someone and would give anything and did anything even if it ended painfully as long as he/she was together with his/her mate. Then “Pacman and Lover” was analyzed as a model. “Cause my head says no, but my phone keeps calling you.” and “Over and Over, like it’s Red Rover” was analyzed as a variant. “People who love to die for someone” was analyzed as a matrix. Last, “one-sided love” was explored as a potential hypogram, and “Pacman” was analyzed as an actual hypogram. This research concludes that the hidden meaning of “Pacman” lyrics is when a person loves someone deeply. Even if a loved one hurts him, he will still love his lover.Â
