Abstract

The use of language or words when chatting on the WhatsApp application tends to use new terms or abbreviations, thus obscuring the characteristics of words and shifting the meaning of words. This study aims to describe the characteristics and shifting meanings of affixed words in short messages on WhatsApp. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. Based on the results of the research carried out, 22 affixed words and 22 random conversations were found, including affixed words that occurred in short messages on WhatsApp. The results of the study show that the interference of using affixed words in WhatsApp short messages is a shifting of the meaning of a word or having a new meaning. The words that underwent a shift in meaning experienced expansion (generalization), narrowing (specialization), deterioration (pejoration), improvement (amelioration), exchange of meaning (synesthesia), and meaning equivalence (association). To use words well, correctly, and correctly, we need to pay attention to affixes and word classes that have a role in forming a sentence. This results in a shift in the meaning of affixed words in the affixation of the basic form or also the process of forming words by affixing, adding, or attaching affixes in front of the basic form. The results of this study can be used as an additional reference and knowledge to be more accurate in using words and sentences without losing the meaning contained in it.

Abstract

Purpose—This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the Snake and Ladder game as a gamified learning medium to enhance students' engagement and creativity in poetry writing. The study discusses the limitations of the traditional teacher-centered approach, which often fails to involve students or foster creativity, by proposing a gamified strategy specifically designed for middle school learners.   Methodology- Using a qualitative case study, this study was conducted on 28 students of the eighth grade at class VIII-A, SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia. This study involved two learning sessions where students were involved in a modified Snakes and Ladders game, which combined the tasks related to the poetry, such as composing verses and identifying poetic devices—the data collected from class observation, students’ poetry submissions, and teacher reflections. Thematic analysis measured students' engagement, creativity, and collaborative outcomes.Findings- The findings show that 70% of students actively engaged and showed creative expression in their poetry, integrating the main elements of poetry effectively. There are 25% who show creativity, even in the face of a lack of engagement in the game, while 5% actively engage in the game but find it challenging to compose poetry. This study highlights the potential of gamified learning to grow teamwork, critical thinking, and a dynamic learning atmosphere, transforming poetry writing from a passive task and a monotone to an interactive and fun experience.Contribution—This study contributes to the growing number of gamified learning in education and its impact on poetry writing. It offers valuable knowledge for educators, curriculum designers, and policy makers, showing the adaptability of gamified learning in the diverse context of education and providing a replicable model to be integrated creatively into poetry writing tasks in language learning.
