Abstract

This research investigates the sociolinguistic roles of dialect and language variation in the Indonesian film Home Sweet Loan (2023), focusing on how informal expressions, regional dialects, and code-switching reveal characters' identities, emotions, and social positions. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through transcription and analysis of selected scenes featuring the main character, Kaluna. Findings indicate that linguistic choices—such as Jakarta slang, Javanese/Sundanese particles, sarcastic wordplay, and metaphor—are strategically used to portray economic struggle, gender roles, emotional fatigue, and generational pressure. The study concludes that dialects in Home Sweet Loan are more than just stylistic devices; they are critical tools for expressing urban identity, navigating socioeconomic realities, and challenging traditional norms through humor, irony, and resistance.

Abstract

Players often use online game forums to meet other players and to introduce themselves. This paper will examine the positive politeness strategies in self-introduction posts of the Albion Online forum. The qualitative descriptive design was applied, and fifteen posts were chosen purposely in the “Introduce Yourself!” category, with the data acquired from January to June 2025. This data was analyzed in Brown and Levinson's politeness theory by content-based pragmatic analysis. The results indicate that strategies of greeting, possessing enthusiasm, self-disclosure, joking, and inclusive language were used by the users to build relationships and decrease the social distance. These strategies indicate that users want to be accepted and aligned with the community. This research finds out that positive politeness is one of the necessary instruments of social interaction in digital gaming forums. This means that the online platforms have a major influence on communicative behavior. It is suggested that future research be conducted to add responses or interactions toward the investigation of the patterns of politeness in longer conversations.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of figurative language in the song “Berita Kepada Kawan” by Ebiet G. Ade, focusing on the widespread misinterpretation of its meaning by listeners. Many audiences perceive the song literally, overlooking the deep symbolic messages embedded in its lyrics. The purpose of this article is to reveal the figurative language used in the song and highlight how different individuals may interpret the same lyrics differently, often diverging from the songwriter’s intended message. Employing a qualitative research method, the study involved a participatory approach through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to 26 respondents. The findings indicate a significant variation in interpretation among listeners, with a majority failing to grasp the figurative elements and underlying messages of the song. These results suggest that lyrical content, especially in poetic or symbolic forms, often requires contextual understanding to avoid misinterpretation. The study concludes that a lack of awareness regarding figurative language contributes to misunderstanding song lyrics, which may diminish the impact of the songwriter’s message. It recommends further research on public perception of figurative language in music and the role of educational tools in enhancing lyrical comprehension.
