Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the use of metaphors in the song Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish through a semantic approach. Previous studies, such as those conducted by Chanty, Nurhapitudin, and Huznatul (2025), discussed the lexical and metaphorical meanings in Wildflower songs, while Theodora and Setiawan (2024) analyzed various types of figurative language in songs such as Lunch, TV, and Bird of a Feather. However, these studies focus on different songs and have not examined in depth the metaphors in the song Happier Than Ever. This research fills that void by highlighting one song in particular to see how metaphors function and influence meaning in the lyrics. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study found seven metaphorical expressions. The analysis shows that these metaphors emphasize the themes that represent emotional pain, disappointment, and efforts to understand meaning in the dynamics of personal relationships. The use of metaphors not only embellishes the lyrics, but also allows Billie Eilish to express complex emotions with more depth and meaning.

Abstract

adapted movie from a novel by Frank Herbert, with the same title. The movie follows a story of Paul Atreides, who went to a desert planet named Arrakis. This study explores how language shapes group identity by examining how the Fremen language is used in “Dune (2021)”. Through some selected scenes, the research employs a qualitative approach, by examining character interactions, socio-political dynamics, and the symbolic significance of the Fremen language in shaping cultural identity. The findings show that the Fremen language not only contributes to the film's cultural representation's authenticity but also reflects  wider themes of adaptation, resistance, and the relationship between language and power. This study contributes to the discourse about constructed languages in media by highlighting how they enhance cultural identity and providing insights on the sociolinguistic implications of constructed languages in modern movies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language differences between women and men used in conversations or chats in the WhatsApp group of English Literature class B UIN Bandung. This research uses descriptive qualitative method with data obtained through copying and screenshots of several conversations from WhatsApp groups selectively, by keeping the identity of the message sender confidential. The data were analyzed based on differences in diction, language style, and ways of conveying information between male and female members. The results of the analysis show that men tend to use language that is more direct, concise, and to the point, while women are more expressive, polite, and use expressions that show emotion or social concern. The findings suggest that digital communication styles still reflect gendered communication patterns. This research is expected to contribute to sociolinguistic studies, especially in understanding the dynamics of language in digital media.

Abstract

This study examines bilingualism in children within the "Kimbab Family" YouTube channel from a sociolinguistic perspective. The increasing number of bilingual and multilingual individuals globally, as a direct consequence of globalization, highlights the complex cognitive, social, and cultural aspects of bilingualism. In bilingual families, language choices are often shaped by family language policies and social norms, reflecting a speaker's social identity and communication strategies. This research aims to describe and analyze the phenomenon of bilingualism in the Kimbab Family children, specifically identifying patterns of code-switching and code-mixing, and the social factors influencing their language choices. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study uses video content from the "Kimbab Family" YouTube channel as its primary data source, focusing on the verbal utterances of Suji, Yunji, and Jio that exhibit code-switching and code-mixing between Indonesian and Korean. Data collection involves observation, transcription, and systematic notation, while data analysis follows Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the children's bilingualism is manifested through code-switching, primarily triggered by changes in interlocutor, aligning with communication accommodation theory. Code-mixing, the more frequent phenomenon, is driven by lexical factors (e.g., Korean terms without direct Indonesian equivalents) and expressive factors, demonstrating that both languages function as a unified linguistic system for them. Additionally, the topic of conversation and pragmatic functions significantly influence language choice, reflecting a functional domain separation between the two languages and serving as markers of their hybrid identity.

Abstract

  This study analyzes the use of deixis in the lyrics of "The Black" by Imminence, focusing on types of deixis such as person, spatial, and temporal deixis. Deixis is a linguistic phenomenon that connects language to the context of an utterance, allowing meaning to be constructed based on the speaker’s position, the listener, time, and place. The findings show that person deixis is the most dominant type found in the song lyrics (78,13%), followed by spatial deixis ((9,38%), and temporal deixis (12,5%). The dominance of person deixis indicates that the lyrics emphasize emotional expression and the songwriter’s personal experiences. This study highlights the importance of deixis in revealing the relationship between linguistic context and meaning in musical art.

Abstract

This study examines how Pixar’s animated short film For the Birds employs metaphorical behaviour and nonverbal idioms. Despite lacking spoken speech, the movie uses human emotions, physical gestures, and symbolic sequences to convey a story full of humour and social commentary. In the film, many little birds make fun of a bigger, clumsier-looking bird, only to encounter unexpected repercussions. This story, which is both quiet and expressive, provides a rare chance to examine idiomatic meanings that are expressed nonverbally. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to find and analyse several scenes that metaphorically illustrate well-known sayings like “don’t judge a book by its cover,” “patience is a virtue,” and “what goes around comes around.” The results demonstrate how action, gesture, and facial expression may all serve as visual languages that represent virtues like poetic justice, humility, and tolerance. These visual idioms improve the narrative by enabling viewers to deduce intricate meanings without using spoken words. Finally, by demonstrating how idioms can transcend language through metaphorical representation in multimodal texts, this study highlights the potency of visual narrative and advances the discipline of visual pragmatics

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the symbolism in Lana Del Rey’s song Salvatore in order to understand how visual and lyrical imagery constructs a narrative of escapism within the context of postmodern culture. The song presents various symbols such as “soft ice cream,” “limousines,” and “summer rain” that create an aesthetic, sensual, and fantastical world detached from reality. The method used in this study is Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis within a qualitative framework. The analysis involves identifying the denotative and connotative meanings of the key symbols in the lyrics, followed by examining the cultural myths constructed by these symbols in relation to escapism and feminine representation in popular culture. The results show that the symbols in Salvatore serve not only as representations of beauty or luxury but also as tools through which the narrator constructs an illusory escape. The symbol of “soft ice cream” signifies femininity that is soft yet commodified; “limousines” reflects false luxury under visual capitalism; while “summer rain” evokes emotional ambiguity. Thus, the song illustrates a construction of artificial reality, where escapism becomes a mode of feminine existence within a world dominated by imagery and simulation.

Abstract

This study explores the use of satire as a form of social critique in Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal (1729), a canonical satirical essay that responds to the severe poverty and political oppression in 18th-century Ireland. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative method with M.H. Abrams’ theory of satire as the analytical framework, focusing on four key elements: parody, irony, allegory, and humor. Through close reading and contextual analysis, the study reveals how Swift weaponizes rhetorical strategies to expose the moral failures of British colonial rule, the economic exploitation of the Irish poor, and the inhumanity of utilitarian logic. Findings show that Swift employs layered irony and grotesque parody to mimic policy discourse, turning bureaucratic language into a tool of condemnation. Allegorical expressions and dark humor further intensify the satirical impact, forcing readers to confront the ethical absurdity of commodifying human lives. The study concludes that Swift’s satire is not merely literary art, but a powerful moral act of resistance that remains relevant to contemporary critiques of injustice, inequality, and systemic indifference.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the character development of the main protagonist, Suzuko, in the film One Million Yen Girl directed by Yuki Tanada. The focus of the research is on how Suzuko's character is constructed and evolves through key scenes and dialogues that reflect her personal struggle against social stigma and her quest for freedom. The method used is descriptive qualitative, employing purposive sampling to select 15 key scenes that represent Suzuko's character transformation. The data are analyzed in depth to describe the physical, psychological, and social aspects of Suzuko's character as well as her emotional development throughout the film. The results show that Suzuko evolves from a closed and pressured individual into an independent, strong person who gradually opens herself to others. Suzuko’s life journey, full of conflicts and struggles, mirrors a realistic and complex character change. This study contributes to the field of film character analysis and enriches the understanding of social representation in audiovisual art works.

Abstract

The findings reveal four distinct types of metaphors employed in the song's lyrics: dead metaphors, creative metaphors, dormant metaphors, and implicit metaphors. For instance, the phrase "holding on for dear life" represents a dead metaphor that effectively conveys the narrator’s desperation. The phrase "swing from the chandelier" exemplifies a creative metaphor, vividly illustrating a reckless escape and celebration of freedom from reality. The dormant metaphor "party girls don't get hurt" highlights the ironic contrast between outward appearances and inner suffering. Lastly, "sun is up, I'm a mess" serves as an implicit metaphor, signaling the shift from temporary escape to harsh reality. Collectively, these metaphors enhance the aesthetic appeal and emotional resonance of the song, ultimately reinforcing its core message about addiction, escapism, and vulnerability. This study contributes to the linguistic understanding of metaphor's role in artistic communication through song lyrics and offers value to scholars, educators, and music enthusiasts alike.
