Abstract

Abstract: : This study utilizes the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA) to investigate the semantic changes in English basic color terms by comparing their usage in the Victorian Era (1840s–1890s) and the Contemporary Era (1950s–2010s). The research focuses on how these terms have evolved in meaning and association, as reflected in frequency trends and collocational patterns. Frequency analysis reveals an expansion in color terminology over time, mostly aligning with Berlin and Kay’s basic color theory. This growth, particularly in less common color terms, suggests that modern cultural and societal factors might influence their development. Collocational analysis shows shifts in tone and usage, with red, green, and blue acquiring more positive associations (amelioration), while white, yellow, and grey show increasingly negative connotations (pejoration). Additionally, terms like purple, pink, and orange display broadened meanings, whereas black and brown have narrowed in their associations. The findings highlight a transition from natural and aesthetic contexts in the Victorian Era to more practical and commercial applications in contemporary use. This study offers valuable insights into the processes of semantic change and the broader significance of color terminology in English. Keywords: semantic change, color terms, diachronic corpus

Abstract

  Abstract: This research aims to pragmatically analyze the comparison of judges' comments on Indonesian Idol Season 12 and American Idol Season 6, with a focus on the politeness strategies and expressive speech acts of praise used. These two seasons were chosen because they have the highest rating shares in Indonesia and the United States respectively. The research method used involves collecting data through observing videos from YouTube. The videos were transcribed for analysis using the expressive speech act theory of praise. In the analysis, researchers identified the form, frequency, and differences in the use of expressive speech acts of praise that reflect their respective cultural backgrounds. The results showed that there was a striking difference in the frequency of expressive speech acts of praise between the two events. On Indonesian Idol, 15 expressive speech acts of praise were found in the judges' comments, while on American Idol, only 9 similar speech acts were found. This difference indicates that the culture of the target audience of the program can influence the dominance and speech act patterns that emerge. In other words, expressions of politeness and praise in the judges' comments are more common in Indonesian Idol, which may reflect Indonesian cultural norms which tend to be more collective and oriented towards social harmony compared to American culture which is more individualistic. This research provides insight into the relationship between communication strategies in television programs and the cultural context of society, as well as the importance of understanding cross-cultural pragmatics. Keywords: American Idol, Indonesian Idol, Expressive Speech Act of Praise

Abstract

In cross-cultural studies, understanding the nuances of apologies in various languages is crucial to reducing misunderstandings and enhancing interpersonal relationships. This research employs a qualitative method by comparing the speech act of apology in Indonesian and English, focusing on linguistic structures, social contexts, and communication strategies. By analyzing expressions of apology in the Indonesian comic House Daddy and the English comic I Hate That I Love You, the study highlights cultural differences and their impact on the ability to express apologies and repair relationships. The findings reveal similarities and differences: both languages emphasize politeness, tone of speech, and providing reasons in apologies, but differ in gender perspectives, indirect apology strategies, cultural contexts, and intonation expressions. This study contributes to the fields of pragmatics and sociolinguistics by offering insights into how cultural nuances shape communication, with implications for enhancing cross-cultural interactions.

Abstract

This study aims to discern patterns of blasphemy directed towards Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism, drawing from content sourced from YouTube videos. The focal points of interest in this investigation are individuals who have garnered public attention through their acts of blasphemy: Muhammad Kece (MK), Yahya Waloni (YW), and Desak Made Darmawati (DMD). Employing a qualitative approach, the researchers transcribed and coded the datasets according to established coding regulations. Forensic linguistics techniques were integrated to analyze both written and oral evidence, enhancing the depth of understanding of the data.Furthermore, the study incorporates van Leeuwen's approach to unveil the linguistic patterns inherent in blasphemous speech. The findings reveal that the subjects primarily utilized strategies of individualization and objectification in their representation of social actors. Blasphemy was predominantly employed by the subjects to articulate their discontent with their former religious affiliations, while simultaneously extolling the virtues of their current beliefs. Notably, they frequently resorted to comparative analyses of religious characteristics, including symbols, conceptions of God, and religious practices, to convey their blasphemous sentiments. This study sheds light on the complex dynamics of religious discourse and highlights the role of language in perpetuating religious intolerance. By examining instances of blasphemy across multiple religions, it underscores the need for greater understanding and respect among diverse religious communities. Moreover, the findings underscore the significance of forensic linguistics in unraveling the intricacies of blasphemous discourse, offering valuable insights for addressing and mitigating instances of religiously motivated hate speech.

Abstract

Language is a complex system of communication that conveys meaning through various layers and dimensions. Leech's theory of seven types of meaning (1987) provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing the multifaceted nature of linguistic meaning. This research aims to analyze the representation of Leech's seven types of meaning in the English version of YOASOBI's song "IDOL". It aims to identify and examine the occurrence of conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflected, collocative, and thematic meanings within the song's lyrics. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze the semantic meanings in YOASOBI's "IDOL" English lyrics. The method allows for an in-depth exploration and interpretation of the various meanings embedded within the song lyrics, providing flexibility to examine nuances, contexts, and subtle variations in meaning. The study of YOASOBI's "IDOL" English version, based on Leech's seven types of meaning framework, reveals a complex narrative that effectively bridges Japanese idol culture with international audiences. The translation maintains emotional authenticity and accessibility, with 26 instances of Affective Meaning and 16 instances of Social Meaning. The balanced distribution between Connotative and Conceptual Meaning ensures both literal clarity and cultural nuance.
