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.

Language serves not only to transmit meaning but also to express the speaker's intentions through culturally influenced vocal symbols. The research delves into the acquisition of language skills, with a particular focus on syntax, which governs sentence structure. Applied linguistics covers areas such as language acquisition, teaching methodologies, cognitive processes, and social interactions, emphasizing its interdisciplinary scope. Mastering skills like listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary is vital for effective communication. Despite the complexities in psycholinguistics and language pedagogy, systematic approaches aid in understanding and application.
