Abstract

The concept of “love” is complex and culturally variable, posing challenges for cross-linguistic understanding and translation. This study aims to conduct a semantic analysis of the concept of “love” in Indonesian (cinta) compared to English, to reveal both universal and culture-specific meanings. Using a qualitative approach, the research integrates lexical semantics, collocational analysis, and conceptual metaphor theory to examine dictionary definitions, corpus data, and metaphorical expressions in both languages. The findings show that while both languages share a core meaning of deep affection, Indonesian cinta has a broader semantic scope including spiritual and patriotic dimensions, reflecting Indonesia’s collectivist values. English love predominantly denotes individualistic romantic feelings. Metaphorical analysis further highlights distinct cultural conceptualizations: English metaphors emphasize agency and conflict, whereas Indonesian metaphors focus on growth and unity.

Abstract

Student learning activeness is a fundamental aspect of the learning process because it reflects students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor involvement. In classroom practice, many students remain passive, reluctant to participate in discussions, hesitant to ask questions, and lacking confidence to express their opinions. These conditions indicate that the learning process has not fully encouraged active student participation. Therefore, appropriate and effective teaching strategies are required to enhance student learning activeness. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of teachers’ strategies in increasing student learning activeness through collaborative learning at SMK Swasta GKPI 2 Pematangsiantar. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as the primary data collection techniques. The results reveal that systematically designed and well-managed collaborative learning significantly improves student learning activeness. Improvements are evident in students’ participation in group discussions, confidence in asking questions, ability to express opinions, and active involvement in group work. Teacher strategies such as forming heterogeneous groups, assigning clear roles to group members, managing group discussions, and implementing process-based assessment are proven to be effective in creating active and interactive learning environments. Therefore, collaborative learning can be considered an effective instructional strategy to enhance student learning activeness in vocational high schools.

Abstract

This study analyzes the experiential metafunction in Christina Perri’s song A Thousand Years using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with emphasis on the transitivity system. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed by segmenting the lyrics into clauses and identifying process types, participants, and circumstances. The analysis reveals six process types, with mental processes dominating (39%), followed by relational (28%) and material processes (22%), while verbal, behavioral, and existential processes appear minimally. The findings indicate that the song constructs meaning primarily through emotional expression, psychological states, and identity rather than physical action. Linguistically, the transitivity patterns represent themes of eternal love, fear, hope, and emotional endurance. This study demonstrates that song lyrics serve as meaningful linguistic data for exploring experiential meaning and may be effectively applied in language learning contexts, particularly in the teaching of functional grammar and discourse analysis.
