Abstract

Language stands out as the primary and most crucial tool for communication, essential in everyday life. It includes both spoken and written forms, such as words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and paragraphs, reflecting the diverse cultures of humanity. The study of linguistics is vital for language development, with phonology, morphology, semantics, and syntax each playing a significant role. Semantics, in particular, focuses on the meanings conveyed through speech and writing, which is fundamental for effective communication. Leech (1974) describes meaning as the concept or thought transferred from a speaker to a listener through language. Instagram, a popular social media platform, enhances communication through photos, videos, and captions. Users engage actively by leaving comments, which can be either supportive or critical. This study applies Leech's theory of the seven types of meaning—conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflective, collocative, and thematic—to examine Instagram captions. Given Instagram's widespread use, especially among college students, its features enable concise message sharing, making it an effective platform for exchanging meanings. Captions add context, express emotions, and convey situational information using various moods and illocutionary acts. This descriptive qualitative study, titled "Analysis of Semantic Meanings Found in TED Talks Instagram Captions," explores these semantic elements, enhancing our understanding of language use on social media and its impact on digital communication.

Abstract

This research analyzes the phonetic and syntactic development of language in 3 year old children using qualitative descriptive methods. By observing and recording children's verbal interactions over several weeks, the aim of this study was to capture the details of early language acquisition. This analysis focuses on pronunciation patterns, vocabulary growth, and the formation of syntactically correct sentences. Researchers noted that children showed significant progress in phonetic articulation, with marked improvements in clarity of consonant and vowel sounds. Syntactically, children show increasing ability to form simple sentences, use basic grammatical structures, and arrange words in the correct order. This research provides valuable insight into typical language development milestones in children of this age, emphasizing the importance of a supportive and interactive linguistic environment.

Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of code mixing among Generation Z, especially students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, as a form of dynamic communication influenced by social media and technological developments. Using qualitative methods, data was collected through questionnaires and Instagram content analysis. The results showed that 87.5% of respondents felt that code-mixing increased the relevance of their content on Instagram, and 93.8% believed that this practice made it easier to convey messages. In addition, 68.8% of respondents considered code-mixing to be “cool” and reflective of their bilingual identity. These findings confirm that code-mixing functions not only as a communication tool, but also as a symbol of creativity and social identity, as well as adaptation to the global context. In conclusion, Generation Z's use of code-mixing reflects the evolving flexibility of language, influenced by social, cultural and technological changes, and strengthens social connections in the digital age.
