Abstract

This study analyzes the speech acts in Peter Parker’s utterances in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) movie and their relevance to the Indonesian Senior High School English Curriculum from a pragmatics perspective. Using Searle’s (1979) speech act theory, the research identifies four types of illocutionary acts, such assertives, directives, commissives, and expressives, while declaratives were absent. The qualitative analysis shows that assertives and directives are dominant, reflecting Peter’s dual identity as a teenager who informs and argues, and as Spider-Man who commands and requests in critical situations. The functions of these speech acts demonstrate how language is used to inform, request, commit, and express emotions based on context and intention. The findings also reveal that many utterances align with the curriculum’s communicative goals, particularly in expressing opinions, making requests, and showing feelings, suggesting that films can be authentic materials to enhance students’ pragmatic competence in English learning.

Abstract

This study examines the types and meanings of figurative language employed in the song lyrics of Four Twenty's Lelaku album within the context of Indonesian indie music. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study analysed all nine songs in the album as primary data sources. Data were collected through close reading and systematic documentation, then classified and interpreted using Kennedy's (1983) figurative language taxonomy supplemented by Nuriadi's (2016) formalist perspective. The analysis identified 38 instances of figurative language distributed across five types: personification (n = 14, 36.84%), metaphor (n = 11, 28.95%), simile (n = 7, 18.42%), metonymy (n = 4, 10.53%), and synecdoche (n = 2, 5.26%). Personification emerged as the dominant type, functioning primarily to animate abstract states, natural elements, and temporal phenomena as active agents in the speaker's emotional world — a pattern reflecting the contemplative and nature-connected aesthetic of Indonesian indie lyricism. The study further found that figurative type selection is systematically calibrated to each song's rhetorical register, as evidenced by the exclusive concentration of synecdoche in the album's single confrontational song. These findings contribute to an understanding of Indonesian indie music as a culturally distinctive and academically significant site of figurative creativity that extends and complicates Western-centred frameworks of figurative language analysis.
