Abstract

This study investigates semantic shifts in twenty Indonesian slang expressions used by Generation Z on X. Using Andreas Blank’s motivational theory, qualitative analysis reveals that cognitive association (28%) and expressivity (24%) are the primary drivers of meaning change. The findings demonstrate that slang development is a systematic response to communicative needs, providing a foundation for understanding linguistic evolution and social behavior in digital environments.

Abstract

This study explores visual literacy through a multimodal analysis of selected Christopher Nolan film posters. Film posters are visual texts that combine images, colors, typography, composition, and written language to communicate meaning. Understanding these elements requires viewers to move beyond simply observing images and develop the ability to critically interpret visual messages. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach and applies Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2006) Visual Grammar as the analytical framework. Three selected film posters, The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010), and Interstellar (2014), are analyzed based on representational, interactive, and compositional meanings. The findings show that each poster constructs distinctive meanings through the representation of participants and settings, the relationship established between the visual text and its viewers, and the arrangement of visual elements. The Dark Knight emphasizes heroism and conflict, Inception highlights collaboration and instability, while Interstellar emphasizes isolation and exploration. The analysis demonstrates that film posters are not merely promotional materials but multimodal visual texts that require active interpretation. The study concludes that Multimodal Discourse Analysis can support the practice of visual literacy by providing a systematic approach to observing, analyzing, and interpreting how visual and verbal elements work together to construct meaning.
