Abstract

Rap lyrics creatively express identity and culture through unique word choices yet few studies have examined how word formation shapes their rhythm and social meaning This study explores how Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album reflects identity culture and resistance through creative word formation This study aims to identify and analyze the word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album and to explain how these processes shape meaning and reflect cultural expression The research used a qualitative descriptive method and Yule s 2019 theory of word formation processes as the analytical framework The data were taken from official lyrics of three songs in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album such as Steady Mobbin < em> True to the Game< em> and No Vaseline < em>and analyzed using document and content analysis techniques The findings showed that clipping and compounding were the most common word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album while borrowing blending acronyms coinage and derivation were used less often The frequent use of clipping shows that Ice Cube likes to make his words shorter to match the rhythm and sound more natural in everyday speech especially in African American Vernacular English AAVE Compounding helps Ice Cube create strong and meaningful words like motherfucker< em> and homeboys< em> that show identity culture and closeness in his community The other word formation types appear less often but still make the lyrics more creative and give deeper meaning to the songs These results indicate that Ice Cube intentionally used word formation to strengthen his artistic style cultural identity and social commentary showing that rap lyrics are not only entertainment but also a rich form of linguistic and cultural expression < p>

Abstract

Language plays an important role in shaping character development in literary works, particularly in portraying women’s voices within specific social contexts. This study aims to analyze how illocutionary acts reflect the character development of the four March sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy in Louisa May Alcott’s The Little Women. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, focusing on speech act theory proposed by Searle. The data source of this study is the novel The Little Women, specifically the utterances produced by the four main female characters. Data were collected through documentation techniques, involving careful reading, identifying, and classifying utterances that contain illocutionary acts. The data were analyzed by categorizing the utterances into types of illocutionary acts and interpreting their functions in relation to character development and 19th-century social context. The findings reveal that each character demonstrates distinct dominant illocutionary acts that reflect her personality and personal growth. Jo frequently uses assertive and directive acts, indicating her independence and resistance to gender norms, while Meg’s speech shows internal conflict between desire and social expectations. Beth’s expressive acts reflect her gentle and selfless nature, whereas Amy’s assertive acts illustrate her ambition and maturity. These results show that illocutionary acts significantly contribute to character development in the novel. This study implies that speech act analysis can enhance literary interpretation and support the teaching of pragmatics through literary texts.
