Abstract

The utilization of figurative language in sports reporting significantly enhances communication’s allure and competitiveness within this realm. Figurative language entails expressions not meant to be taken literally but carrying implied meanings that enrich interpretation for readers or listeners. It crucially illustrates action and drama in sports news, engendering a more immersive reading experience and influencing how events are comprehended. This research probes into the use of figurative language, particularly expressions and metaphors, within sports reporting's context. The study’s focal point was the June 1, 2018 edition of the esteemed Indonesian newspaper, Java Pos, renowned for its vibrant sports reporting, particularly in football. Data consisted of expressions and metaphors in the form of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and numerals, sourced from Java Pos' sports reporting (June 1, 2018 edition), especially relating to football. The methodology involved participatory observation reading 7 football-specific sports pieces and scrutinizing each for expressions and metaphors. Additionally, documentation was employed collecting and analyzing articles from the designated edition to assess metaphors and expressions through a figurative language lens. Post data collection, data was condensed and classified by category (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and numerals) then verified and interpreted contextually. Content analysis was applied for data analysis, comprehending the contextual use and its impact on reader comprehension. The findings unveiled the presence of expressions and metaphors, encompassing verb phrases, nouns, adjectives, and numerals, in the news reports. This study uncovers the usage of figurative language, enriching communication, fostering creativity, and contributing to elevated sports reporting quality and deeper audience understanding.

Abstract

In the digital era, commodity advertisements on social media use persuasive language to create associations within user communities. This research examines the role of linguistics on influencing community associations on social media through commodity advertisements, using a socio-semiotic study approach. By employing socio-semiotic linguistic theory, the study analyzes how word choices, symbols, and connotations used in advertisements can shape social perceptions and community identities. This research was qualitative in nature. The data in this study consists of words, phrases, and symbols, while the data sources were commodity advertisements on social media. The method used to collect the data is content analysis. The researcher listens to the words, symbols, and the connotative meanings embedded in the advertisements. The data was analyzed using a socio-semiotic approach, focusing on the linguistic and symbolic elements within the advertisements. The study finds that carefully crafted language in commodity advertisements significantly influences consumer perceptions, strengthens social bonds, and shapes collective identities. Moreover, the findings from this research suggest that the choice of words or phrases in advertisements for each commodity must create a positive impression in the public's consciousness. Thus, beyond simply informing, the language used should also touch the emotional aspect of the audience, prompting them to purchase the product to fulfill their needs. This study contributes to the understanding of how language influences consumer behavior and provides practical implications for marketers in creating more persuasive advertisements
