Abstract

This research aims to describe the connotation and denotation meanings in the song entitled Saat Kau Telah Mengerti (When You Understand) by Virgoun. In this article, the method used descriptive qualitative and analyses using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, which discusses the concepts of denotation and connotation. According to Barthes' concept, a denotative sign consists of a signifier and a signified, but it also functions as a connotative sign. This means that the connotative sign not only has an additional meaning, but also consists of both parts of the denotative sign on which it is based. The results of this study reveal that there are ten song lyrics that contain denotative meaning and sixteen song lyrics that contain connotative meaning. The song Saat Kau Telah Mengerti has a meaning in the form of messages and hopes of parents to children. In its song, the songwriter as a parent wants to give the best for his child. However, action taken by parents for their children’s benefit can occasionally cause the child to feel upset or angry.

Abstract

Arwi, or Arabu-Tamil, is a unique writing system that uses Arabic phonetics to represent the Tamil language and has been a significant topic for linguistic and cultural research among Muslim communities in South India and Sri Lanka. This study aims to explore the nature of Arwi, examine whether it can be classified as an independent language or a dialect, and review its role in preserving the cultural and religious identity of Tamil Muslims. The research employs a historical-descriptive method, analyzing secondary sources including books, academic articles, and digital archives, alongside historical manuscripts and documents. The findings indicate that Arwi represents a blend of two traditional literary languages, Arabic and Tamil, serving as a written communication system for Tamil Muslim communities. Lacking an independent grammatical structure typical of a full language, Arwi is more accurately classified as a written dialect or specialized writing system rather than a standalone language. Nevertheless, it has played a crucial role in Islamic literature, religious education, and the preservation of cultural identity over centuries. The study emphasizes the importance of revitalizing Arwi through manuscript publication, educational inclusion, and everyday usage to safeguard this unique linguistic and cultural heritage.
