Abstract

This study delves into the narrative surrounding the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, examining it through historical, theological, and narrative perspectives. The aim is to comprehend its significance and the impact it has on the lives of Christians. The crucifixion of Jesus, a pivotal event in Christian belief, occurred under Roman authority in the first century, symbolizing not only physical suffering but also deep spiritual implications. The research scrutinizes a variety of biblical and extra-biblical sources related to the crucifixion, including the events leading up to Jesus' arrest, the legal trials he underwent, and his death on the cross. The study found that the narrative conflicts involve multiple parties and layers of complexity, with internal conflicts accounting for 9% and external conflicts constituting 45%. The theological exploration focuses on the role of the crucifixion in the atonement of humanity’s sins. The narrative analysis, on the other hand, concentrates on how the Gospels narrate this story, its influence on Jesus' early followers, and its ongoing relevance to contemporary Christian faith. The external conflicts are further categorized into conflicts between characters (18%), society (14%), nature (9%), and the supernatural (5%). The findings suggest that Jesus’ crucifixion and death have transformative significance, influencing both historical developments and the spiritual lives of his followers. These percentages not only quantify the conflicts but also underscore their importance in the narrative, offering a deeper understanding of these events from social, political, and theological perspectives.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of YouTube as a social media platform on the interpretation of denotative meaning from a semantic perspective. While denotative meaning traditionally refers to the literal or dictionary definition of a word, the integration of multimodal features in YouTube—such as tone, visuals, music, and gestures—may cause shifts in how audiences perceive and interpret those meanings. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research analyzes selected YouTube videos and their comment sections to examine how literal meanings are expressed by creators and understood by viewers. The findings show that multimodal elements often influence or even override the intended denotative meaning of words, leading to various audience interpretations. This highlights the fluidity of meaning in digital communication, where context and delivery can reshape even the most basic semantic elements. The study contributes to semantic analysis by demonstrating that denotative meaning in online platforms is no longer entirely fixed, and suggests the need for further interdisciplinary research involving semantics, pragmatics, and media discourse.

Abstract

The Indonesian digital communication landscape is characterized by massive code-mixing (CM) phenomena reflecting Gen Z's hybrid identity. This study aims to synthesize CM semantic trends on digital platforms (TikTok , Instagram, WhatsApp) for the 2015-2025 period using Geoffrey Leech's seven types of meaning framework. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA 2020 protocols, 25 high-quality articles (average MMAT score of 82%) were thematically analyzed. Findings indicate that CM is not a language deficit but a Society 5.0 adaptive strategy dominated by connotative (38%) and affective (28%) meanings to build cyber solidarity. Despite its prevalence, a pedagogical gap was identified where 68% of studies ignore social-reflective dimensions and the national curriculum remains laggard in responding to these dynamics. This study recommends a reorientation of digital literacy through contextual semantic modules to bridge language competence disparities in the global era.

Abstract

The low proficiency in writing recount texts among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Pematangsiantar is triggered by the dominance of conventional methods, causing students to struggle in developing ideas and reconstructing past experiences. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using YouTube video media on students' recount text writing ability. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 62 students divided into an experimental class (VII-2) and a control class (VII-3). Data collection was conducted through writing pre-tests and post-tests, analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test with SPSS 25. The results showed a significant difference in learning outcomes, where the experimental class achieved a post-test average of 81.33 (Good category), outperforming the control class which only reached 69.56 (Fair category). The statistical test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. These findings conclude that YouTube video media is effective as a cognitive scaffold in helping students visualize narratives, enrich vocabulary, and organize text structures chronologically.
