Abstract

This study investigates the role of gender and age in emoji usage among Millennials and Generation Z, highlighting emojis as vital tools for conveying emotions and enhancing interpersonal connections on social media. Utilizing Gender and Language Theory and Digital Communication Theory, the research reveals that females use emotionally expressive emojis more frequently in personal contexts, while males favor neutral or humorous emojis for casual interactions. Additionally, Millennials tend to prefer positive and supportive emojis, reflecting a conventional communication style, whereas Generation Z exhibits a playful and creative approach, often employing emojis in subcultural contexts. These findings emphasize the complexity of emoji usage as reflections of social identities and relational dynamics, offering valuable insights for effective communication strategies in the evolving realm of digital interaction.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis penggunaan afiksasi dalam lirik lagu pada album Short n’ Sweet karya Sabrina Carpenter. Afiksasi merupakan proses morfologis yang berperan dalam pembentukan kata melalui penambahan prefiks, sufiks, infiks, atau konfiks pada kata dasar. Studi ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi jenis afiks yang muncul dalam lirik lagu serta memahami kontribusinya terhadap makna lirik. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa sufiks, terutama -ing, merupakan jenis afiks yang paling dominan dalam album ini, membentuk kata kerja beraspek progresif yang menekankan tindakan yang sedang berlangsung. Selain itu, ditemukan pula penggunaan prefiks seperti mis- serta sufiks -ment dan -ly, yang mempengaruhi makna kata dasar dalam berbagai konteks emosional dan naratif. Dengan demikian, afiksasi dalam lirik lagu tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai elemen linguistik tetapi juga sebagai alat ekspresi artistik yang memperkaya estetika dan emosi dalam musik.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of speech acts and their pragmatic functions found in news headlines published by Tribunnews during March 2025. The research focuses on how language is strategically used in mass media not only to deliver information but also to influence the readers’ attitudes, emotions, and behavior. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using documentation techniques for data collection. A total of 500 news headlines were analyzed based on the speech act theory of Austin (1962) and Searle (1979), which categorize speech acts into three main types: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. The data analysis followed the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The findings reveal that locutionary acts dominate with 301 headlines (60.2%), indicating that the primary function of the media remains centered on delivering factual information. Illocutionary acts appear in 141 headlines (28.2%), which suggests that writers often embed subtle intentions to influence or guide readers—such as giving warnings or appeals. Perlocutionary acts, found in 58 headlines (11.6%), are intended to evoke emotional responses in readers, such as fear, surprise, or empathy. In terms of pragmatic functions, representative acts are the most prevalent at 45.6%, followed by directive and expressive functions (both at 24.4%), commissive (7.6%), and declarative (5%). These results indicate that although online news mainly serves as a factual information medium, headlines are also used to express emotions, guide public behavior, and convey institutional intentions or decisions. This research highlights that speech acts in online media are not merely descriptive but actively shape public perception and opinion, affirming the significance of discourse strategies in digital journalism.
