Abstract

This research analysis politeness strategies in Joko Widodo's Instagram comment column using Brown and Levinson's theory. In the era of social media such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, virtual communication exhibits both transactional and interactional functions of language, where the absence of face-to-face communication directly influences participants' language behaviour. This research aims to describe the use of language politeness strategies in virtual interactions. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation and recording comments on Joko Widodo's Instagram account. The findings reveal the use of various politeness strategies, including positive politeness, negative politeness, bald-on record, and bald-off record strategies. Specifically, the analysis of 1,631 comments showed that 6,2% of the comments used positive politeness strategies, 7,7% used negative politeness strategies, 60% used bald-on-record strategies, and 26,1% used off-record strategies. Social factors influencing the choice of these strategies were also identified, underscoring the critical role of politeness in maintaining social harmony and respecting interpersonal relationships in online communication.

Abstract

This research explores the use of conceptual metaphors in Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department, focusing on how metaphorical language is used to express emotional depth and personal experiences. Applying Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), the study classifies metaphorical expressions into three types: structural, orientational, and ontological. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from the official lyrics of 16 songs in the album. The analysis shows that conceptual metaphors are employed consistently to depict abstract ideas such as heartbreak, vulnerability, self-perception, and emotional transformation. Structural metaphors are used to map personal experiences through familiar frameworks, orientational metaphors describe emotional states using spatial direction, and ontological metaphors give physical form to intangible feelings. Through metaphor, Swift constructs vivid imagery that allows listeners to relate to complex emotions in a concrete and meaningful way.
