Abstract

Humor is one of the media that provides an interesting aspiration of people. It means comedians and audiences have to know how to imply and understand the real theme to get a good meaning. This study explores the construction of theme and rheme positions in Indonesian humor through the lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Utilizing the Theme-Rheme theory, the research analyzes various Indonesian clauses to understand how thematic structures contribute to comedic effects. The method involves a detailed breakdown of clauses into their thematic and rhematic components, followed by an examination of how marked and unmarked themes, as well as textual themes, create humor through incongruity and unexpected twists. Practically, the findings reveal that humor often applies from the contrast between serious advice and trivial or absurd explanations, demonstrating that thematic manipulation is crucial in generating comedic effects. This study highlights the effectiveness of the Theme-Rheme framework in analyzing humor and underscores the intricate relationship between language structure and humor.

Abstract

This research seeks to uncover the potential meanings stemming from the domination of thematic structure in the lyrics of the Indonesian national song "Bagimu Negeri." The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on sentences, clauses, stanzas, and individual words, using documentation techniques such as listening, recording, and note-taking. The collected data are analyzed through theme-rheme analysis, examining topical, textual, and interpersonal themes in detail. The analysis reveals a single dominant theme in the song's lyrics, with an unmarked topical theme predominating and no interpersonal themes present. The unmarked topical theme consistently serves as the subject. Furthermore, many stanzas in the lyrics lack a rheme. The thematic dominance suggests a strong expression of love for the homeland. This potential meaning likely reflects the intention of the lyricist, Kusbini, to demonstrate his profound love for the country and to inspire a similar sentiment in those who sing "Bagimu Negeri," particularly through the use of the word "we/kami." This expression is meant to instill and reinforce a sense of patriotism in every Indonesian citizen.

Abstract

The purposes of this research are (1) to describe the deviation of meaning in Cak Lontong’s humor materials (2) to describe the changing of constituent in Cak Lontong’s humor materials. This research is a descriptive-qualitative research. Listening method is used as the  data collecting technique, using technique of tap and write. The data analysis method is the reference equalization, using comparative technique to support codification, reduction, presentation, and interpretation. The results of this research are: Cak Lontong exploits gaps and possibilities of new meanings that can be used in words; Cak Lontong deviates meanings by establishing the second meaning as an effort to give surprise to his listeners; and Cak Lontong exploits figurative words of homonymy, e.g. “mengarungi” and “ngurusi” to play the meanings that are conveyed in using the language. The power of Cak Lontong’s humor is in the sensitivity in finding gaps of words, then presenting them by trapping listener’s interpretation to the unintended meanings. A changing constituent occurs to function of process to be participant, participant to participant, participant to circumstances, and circumstances to circumstances. It changes meanings and interpretations of a same word.

Abstract

This study examined high school students’ views of their teachers using interpersonal communication in Teaching English as Foreign Language (TEFL). The respondents involved 38 students as reached saturated data, which were taken from six classes taught by two EFL teachers (male and female) at a high school in South Sulawesi province, Indonesia. A semi-structured interview was employed with students to collect the data. The semi-structured interview data were categorized and reported descriptively according to DeVito's (1997) effective interpersonal communication: openness, empathy, supportiveness, positive feelings, and equality. This study reveals that students' perception shows that both teachers conduct favorable and unfavorable interpersonal communication verbally or non-verbally in TEFL. This study also indicates that teachers’ cross-gender using nonverbal communication perceives as an inconvenience, touch, and personal space. These contrarieties propose that teachers consider their students’ culture, beliefs, or preferences while utilizing interpersonal communication in TEFL, especially personal space and touch at the high school level.

Abstract

This study examines the scarcity of indigenous language literacy in Merauke and the pressing threat of local language extinction. Utilizing a qualitative approach and case study method, the research identifies primary factors influencing the decline in the use of local languages, including the dominance of the Indonesian language, lack of documentation and teaching materials in native languages, and limited educational policy support for language preservation. Furthermore, globalization and modernization have driven younger generations to prioritize languages perceived as more economically and socially valuable. The findings reveal that without sustained revitalization efforts, local languages in Merauke face an increased risk of extinction. Recommendations include developing language documentation programs, integrating local languages into school curricula, and fostering community awareness and pride in native languages. This research aims to serve as a foundation for more effective language preservation strategies in Merauke.

Abstract

This study presents a semiotic interpretation of Blinding Lights by The Weeknd, focusing on how the song constructs symbolic representations of emotional states such as loss, loneliness, devotion, and hope. Using the theoretical frameworks of Saussure, Peirce, Barthes, and Yuwana, the analysis reveals the way linguistic and symbolic signs, such as light, darkness, silence, and urban imagery, encode emotional depth within the narrative of romantic longing. The study identifies how these signs interact to form a coherent structure of meaning that resonates with the universal experience of separation and devotion. The findings show that popular music, far beyond entertainment, serves as a space of cultural signification, conveying complex affective messages through semiotic constructs. This research contributes to the growing field of music semiotics and affirms the relevance of contemporary song lyrics as legitimate texts for scholarly analysis.

Abstract

Semantics is the study of meaning in language, including how the meanings of words and expressions relate to each other in various forms of discourse. One key branch of semantics is speech act theory, which examines how utterances function as actions. According to Austin, there are three types of speech acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. This study focuses on illocutionary acts, which are intended actions performed by the speaker through speech. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and analyzes the utterances of Natasha Romanoff in the movie Black Widow. The study aims to identify the types and purposes of illocutionary acts used by the main character. Based on Searle’s (1979) classification, illocutionary acts are divided into five types: (1) assertive, (2) directive, (3) commissive, (4) expressive, and (5) declarative. The results show that four types of illocutionary acts are found in Black Widow. In the assertive category, there are six data points used for stating, claiming, and predicting. In the directive category, there is one data point used for ordering. In the commissive category, four data points are found, used for threatening and refraining someone from doing something. Finally, in the expressive category, there are two data points used for condoling and complimenting. These findings reveal how language is used performatively in film to convey emotion, intent, and psychological depth.
