Abstract

Kendrick Lamar's 2017 song "PRIDE." from his album DAMN. goes with themes of internal chaos, pride, and regrets. Using a cognitive stylistic method, this study investigates how Lamar's metaphors influence listeners' perceptions and emotional comprehension. It answers two key queries: (1) Which schemas or mental models are activated in the brains of the listeners? and (2) How are complicated feelings like pride and shame expressed through Lamar's metaphors? Drawing on the song's official lyrics, the analysis is based on Schema Theory (Anderson, 1977) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff Johnson, 1980). By examining recurrent patterns of imagery, word choice, and narrative structures that correspond with experiences that are both cognitively and culturally recognizable, schemas may be found in the lyrics. For example, Lamar's use of chronological changes (“I was born like this”) and geographical oppositions (“sitting in silence”) to illustrate internal struggle activates schemas linked to memory, self-examination, and moral dualism. Metaphors like "empathy as sacrifice" and "pride as death" appeal to common conceptual frameworks in which empathy is linked to vulnerability or redemption and pride to destruction or collapse. Listeners are able to emotionally connect with the abstract problems Lamar offers because these metaphorical expressions suggest larger schemas regarding identity, morality, relationships, and spiritual tension.

Abstract

This study looks into code mixing in Chinese-Indonesian users' Instagram descriptions and comments. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to identify and categorize the types of code mixing found in online discourse, using Muysken's (2000) typology of code mixing as the analytical framework. Data were carefully gathered from 100 Chinese-Indonesian Instagram caption pages and 40 instagram posts consist of public Instagram accounts of Chinese-Indonesian people, with an emphasis on comments and captions that included multilingual content. Three forms of code mixing are identified by the analysis: congruent lexicalization, alternation, and insertion. The most common type was insertion, with 58 instances, followed by alternation with 30 instances and congruent lexicalization with 12. The results demonstrate the ongoing role of social media in maintaining linguistic diversity by indicating that Instagram functions as a platform for the active performance and maintenance of multilingual practices.
