Abstract

News about student demonstrations regarding the impact of the increase in single tuition fees (UKT) after National Education Day has been widely reported, including in the mass media Tempo.co, Kalderanews.com, and Radarbanyumas.disway.id. It is certain that the perception and discourse of news from each mass media is different. Using Teun Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method, this research aims to examine the discourse, social cognition and social context in mass media reports regarding the increase in Single Tuition Fees (UKT) in several State Universities after National Education Day on May 2 2024 . This research uses a qualitative method by collecting data through observing the three news stories and analyzing them using the Van Dijk CDA framework which includes macro structure, superstructure and microstructure (Semantics & Syntax). This study explains that the three news stories have the same topic, but the news is presented with different sub-themes and styles. These findings highlight that news articles depict students in a protest role, while universities and the Ministry as the guilty parties, indicating a lack of concern for students. This analysis highlights the role of the media in shaping public perceptions of the phenomenon.

Abstract

This study explores the use of referential expressions in six selected songs from NIKI Zefanya’s 2024 album Buzz. Using a qualitative descriptive method and Halliday and Hasan’s theory of reference, the research aims to identify the types of referential expressions used in the lyrics and analyze their contribution to meaning and emotional impact. The findings reveal a total of 74 referential expressions, consisting of 53 personal references, 9 demonstrative references, and 12 comparative references. Personal references, such as I, you, and my, are the most dominant and function to express intimacy, personal emotion, and connection with the listener. Demonstrative references, like this and that, help point to emotional states or symbolic meanings. Comparative references, including like, better, and too much, are used to express metaphor, contrast, or emotional intensity. The study concludes that referential expressions not only serve grammatical functions but also shape how meaning is constructed in song lyrics. These expressions enhance narrative clarity, emotional depth, and listener engagement, showing that even small linguistic choices can have a strong impact on how music is experienced and understood.
