Abstract

This research aimed to understand humor which is a linguistically creative language, especially in the realm of semantics, dimensions of meaning; homonyms, and polysemy. Moreover, the trend of new language and terms among Twitter X residents has emerged recently due to the COVID19 pandemic, leading people spend their time on social media for social criticism, expressing sadness, or simply for entertainment. As the main theory of this research, Murphy’s theory (2010) related to lexical ambiguity; including homonymy homograph, homophone, homonymy absolute, and polysemy, also Leech’s theory (1981) related to semantic meaning; including conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflected, collocative, and thematic meaning, were used to analyze the data. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach in this study. The result shows that homonymy is the one of lexical ambiguity that occurs more often than polysemy in phenomena of language that contain humor. Absolute homonymy is the most common type of homonymy, followed by homophones, then homographs which are the rarest. The results revealed there are quite a lot of funny tweets containing lexical ambiguity on Twitter X, which can make people who read confused or misinterpret the true meaning, intent, and motif.

Abstract

The drastic changes in Afghanistan's social and political structure following the Taliban's takeover of the government in 2021 have resulted in severe oppression of women. The reimplementation of discriminatory policies has created significant challenges for Afghan women in fighting for their rights. This study aims to analyze women's struggles within the context of peace negotiations, not only in the Doha Agreement between the United States and the Taliban; which failed to address women’s rights, but also in the subsequent intra-Afghan negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government, where women continued to face structural barriers to meaningful participation. Using a postcolonial feminist approach, this research explores the concept of "double colonization" experienced by Afghan women, where they are caught between Taliban oppression and neglect by the US. The findings reveal that while women actively engage through organizations and activism to participate in the peace process, their voices are often ignored by multiple layers of oppression. Women's participation in intra-Afghan talks remains minimal, and peace agreements do not guarantee the protection of their fundamental rights. This study underlines the importance of women's inclusion in the peace negotiation process to ensure peace for women in the form of fulfillment of rights and security after a peace agreement is reached between the conflicting parties.
