Abstract

This study examines the diction and style of language in commercial advertisements for Nivea beauty products and aims to describe and explore the meanings of the expressions written in the advertisements. Data in the form of phrases, sentences, and images are analyzed using a qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that the dictions in the Nivea-UV (予防美容ケア) advertisements are all directly related to the vocabulary for beauty care. There are also borrowed words from English to clarify the products offered. The style of language in the advertisement consists of eight hyperboles, two metaphors, and one synecdoche, metonymy, repetition, and onomatopoeia, respectively. The style appears in the form of exaggeration, presenting something clearly, repeating words, emphasizing certain words, showing the same word order, having words that express a relationship, and having words that represent associations or attributes. To refine language, there is politeness in the language forms of kenjou and teinei. The diction and style of language have their own characteristics, namely firmness and solidity, so that the intentions and meaning of the advertisement can be understood by the target audience.

Abstract

This research discusses language change as a result of the influence of social media. In an increasingly advanced digital era, social media has become one of the primary communication tools for individuals worldwide. This study utilizes descriptive and comparative analysis methods to explore the influence of social media on language change. Firstly, the research identifies grammar, syntax, and vocabulary changes due to social media usage. Then, the study compares the language used in traditional communication with that used in social media communication. The findings of this research indicate significant language changes due to the use of social media. There is an increase in the use of abbreviations, emoticons, and distinctive terms specific to social media that affect the way humans communicate in a digital context. Additionally, casual writing styles, non-formal language use, and the adaptation of foreign words have become characteristics of social media communication. These language changes can have both positive and negative impacts. On the positive side, social media has enabled faster and more efficient communication between individuals across the globe. Using a more casual and non-formal language can also strengthen social bonds among social media users. However, on the other hand, these language changes can also pose challenges to understanding and communication between different generations or in formal contexts.

Abstract

Loneliness and lack of communication are common themes in absurd drama. This paper explores the portrayal of loneliness and lack of communication in absurd drama through an analysis of selected works of Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and Eugène Ionesco. The method employed in this research is a qualitative analysis of the texts, examining the characters, settings, and language used to convey the themes of loneliness and lack of communication. The findings reach that these themes are central to absurd drama, reflecting the existential condition of modernity. The conclusion proposes that the portrayal of loneliness and lack of communication in absurd drama is a critique of the modern world, highlighting the need for connection and communication in a fragmented and isolated society. Through a close examination of the characters and their interactions, the article argues that these plays offer a critique of modern society's tendency towards isolation and lack of meaningful communication. The article also explores how the techniques of absurdism, such as non-linear plot structures and exaggerated, nonsensical dialogue; this research can contribute to the portrayal of these themes in the selected works. Overall, the article demonstrates the enduring relevance of these plays in illuminating the human condition and the challenges of social interaction in a modern world.

Abstract

Osob Walikan, commonly referred to as Walikan Malang, can be widely used in the social life of Malang people. Developed from a code language, this language still exists even though it already served its purpose and developed into a Malang local language. This paper investigates the current perception of Malangese toward Walikan and its relationship with the maintenance of the Walikan language, which is a local code street language that has shifted to become an urban language. This qualitative study uses questionnaires and interviews to gather the data. The findings showed that there are 3 main perceptions of Malangese towards Walikan: a language as an identity, cultural heritage, and symbol of solidarity. The majority of participants agreed that Walikan is important and needs to be preserved because Walikan has its values for the Malang people. The main method of preservation is to use this language actively in communication so that there are always active speakers to prevent the decline of language use.

Abstract

The study aimed to find out the women's representation of Sima Bahous' speech entitled "Looking Forward to a Future of Gender Equality" by applying Mills' discourse analysis perspective, such as the subject-object position, reader position, and writer-reader position. The presence of the UN Women organization is a new step and a source of hope for women fighting for gender equality and women's empowerment. Sima Bahous, the woman behind UN Women, contributed to improving the position of women globally through her speech. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in the research supported by  the theory of critical discourse analysis with a feminist perspective by Sara Mills. The result showed that in Sima Bahous' selected closing remarks speech, the position of the subject was placed by Sima Bahous as the speaker of her speech and UN Women as the object of the speech. The listener's position was related to the greeting to the listener. Through "mediation" and "cultural codes," this was achieved in a circumstantial manner.

Abstract

Colonialism is one of the events of colonization of Europeans or Western nations to a nation or continent with inferior value to its customs, intellectuality, and marginalization. It results in the distingency of social structures that experience racial inequality and discrimination, including black people. White supremacy perpetuates an ideology that can take away the human rights of blacks, especially the ideal identity of masculinity, the black men. Black men are represented as beasts, combat-ready pioneers, obedient slaves, and so on. This representation becomes a construction of an ideological discourse that marginalizes black people. This discourse affects psychological and social dualism and intersectionalism that rests on resistance to white supremacy. This study aims to reveal the discourse of the identity of idealistic masculinity in black men. The method used is descriptive-qualitative. This method is employed in relating the problems that occur to Alfa Ndiaye who experiences the traumatic experience of the death of his best friend in his life journey while tracing racial equality between the countries of Francophone, France-Africa (Senegal). This study uses intersectional, masculinity, and racial studies. The material object is the novel At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop. In contrast, the formal object is ideology's effect in identifying masculinity's attributes in black people, especially in the main character, Alfa Ndiaye. Thus, white hegemony always uses various ways to make the ‘wounded masculinity’ of Ndiaye feel pressured and it is considered that their savagery is beneficial for Captain Armand in raising French independence.

Abstract

The study analyses the phonological interference of phoneme pronunciation [q] by Sundanese and Javanese speakers compared with Arabic speakers. The researchers used a descriptive comparative qualitative method. The researchers listened, took notes, and documented the voice recordings of male students from the Sundanese and Javanese ethnic groups when reading the Qur'an to collect research data and analyse it using Praat software version 6.2.13. From the results of the recordings, Sundanese-speaking students and Javanese speakers would then be compared with reference speakers, namely Syekh Sa'ad Al-ghamidi, who has the capability of reciting verses from the Qur'an. The research results indicated phonological interference in the phoneme [q] when Sundanese and Javanese male students read the Qur'an. The factor contributing to the occurrence of pronunciation errors in the phoneme [q] was the transfer of SL and JL elements when using AL. Errors occurred due to deviations from the proper language rules. The research is expected to have positive implications, minimizing interference and increasing fluency in reading the Qur'an.
