Abstract

J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter series, published from 1997 to 2007, have been globally acclaimed as one of the most popular novels with the most varied target readers. A lot of reviews have been made and by far, they focused more on the literary aspects. This research offers a different way of reading Harry Potter novels since it will focus more on language play as Rowling’s style of writing, which is believed to contribute to the comprehension of the literary elements. Language play is a means of foregrounding – linguistic forms that stand out in a text. The research is done to find out the language play forms contained in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and how these forms support the understanding of the literary elements. The research employs the descriptive qualitative method; various linguistic forms of language play are taken as the data, which are then investigated further in terms of the types of linguistic features. Afterward, these are connected with the literal and contextual meanings so as to find out how they support the literary elements. The findings show that besides being entertaining, the language play helps support reader’s imagination as well as supporting the characterization and plot. The research also shows that language play deserves considerable appreciation since creating as well as understanding it needs a high language skill from both the author and readers, especially when it is intended not only to be entertaining but to support the literary elements.

Abstract

Political parties are a forum for Indonesian people from various ideological backgrounds as channels for the aspirations of a pluralistic society. The party's ideology is embodied in the vision and mission that the party aspires to when domination is obtained after the General Election is held. In this research, the anthem lyrics of the top three political parties, based on the 2019 legislative elections, were taken as the data and studied through a stylistic approach at the lexicogrammatical level to figure out the ideology in the realization of the vision and mission of the political parties. The method of the analysis applied descriptive qualitative through transitivity analysis in order to reveal the lexical and grammatical construction in the lyric. The typical processes used in each anthem characterized the cognitive frame of how the political parties set their vision and orientation towards the nation goals. It was found that the use of stylistic devices came in low frequency, including epizeuxis, parallelism, imagery, metaphor, symbolism, asyndeton and anaphora. The construction of clauses in the anthem lyrics has a significant impact in expressing the goals of political parties ideologically, so that the results of this study are expected to be an alternative reference that provides a paradigm for the voting community during the election period

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the message contained in the lyrics of the song “Jiwa Yang Bersedih” by using discourse analysis approach. The primary data in this research are the lyrics of the song entitled “Jiwa Yang Bersedih”. The song lyrics are taken from the sonora.id website. The data were then analyzed using discourse analysis theory which includes language, structure and context of song lyrics. This research used theory by Paltridge (2006) in analyzing discourse elements and Mitchell (2023) in analyzing the lyric structure. Based on the results of the analysis, the song reveals a well-structured composition with a conventional format comprising verses, choruses, an interlude, and an outro. Repetition of specific phrases, especially in the verses and choruses, underlines the empathetic message, emphasizing understanding and support for individuals grappling with sorrow. The narrative flow of the song takes the listener on a journey from an invitation to express emotions to a reaffirmation of strength and the promise of being heard, illustrating resilience in the face of challenges. Linguistic elements, including pronouns, metaphors, imagery, alliteration, and symbolism, are strategically used to establish a personal connection with the listener and vividly convey emotional struggles.
