Abstract

Poetry is a type of literary work in which the author expresses their feelings and message primarily through language. Poems employ words that have deeper, more nuanced meanings in addition to their literal ones. This is particularly true of William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18," where certain words might be challenging to interpret. Thus, the purpose of this research is to apply semantic analysis, which focuses on lexical meaning and grammatical meaning, to assist poetry lovers in understanding the meaning of poetry. The words from fourteen lines of his poetry, which represent the fundamental degree of attention, serve as the research's data. The process of gathering data involves reading each word aloud several times. The descriptive qualitative research methodology was used in this study. This approach allows researchers to explore and understand phenomena in depth, explore meaning, and see the complexity of the subject under study. The result of this research is that the poetry Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare tells the expression of admiration shown by the poet to someone he adored.

Abstract

This research explores the semantic shifts occurring in English slang, examining both historical and contemporary examples to understand the underlying mechanisms and sociocultural factors driving these changes. Semantic shifts, particularly in slang, involve the alteration of word meanings due to various influences, including social interactions, media exposure, cultural exchange, and significant societal events. Through a literature review, the study investigates how slang terms evolve over time, focusing on the role of social media platforms in accelerating these shifts. Key mechanisms identified include the blending and shortening of words (shashification), distributional modelling for semantic change detection, and the impact of global and cultural exchanges. The study also highlights the influence of media and influential figures in popularizing new slang, as well as the role of technological advancements in facilitating rapid semantic evolution. The findings underscore the importance of understanding slang not only as a linguistic phenomenon but also as a reflection of broader societal and cultural shifts.
