Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of vocabulary shift in Indonesian, which originates from three main elements: foreign languages, regional languages, and cognate languages. The focus of the study lies in the sociolinguistic relationship between the language-speaking community and this expansion. The research method uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with data drawn from various sources such as mass media, literature, and everyday conversation. The results of the analysis show that vocabulary expansion from foreign languages is often triggered by globalization and technological developments, while the expansion of the language itself reflects the language's creativity in responding to local cultural needs. On the other hand, contributions from cognate languages such as Malay appear more in the context of cultural and historical similarities. This study concludes that language expansion is influenced by social, cultural, and economic dynamics, while also demonstrating that language plays a role as a mirror of societal change. The study of changes in meaning shows that the development of Indonesian not only enriches vocabulary but also reflects the social, cultural, and technological dynamics in society.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of implicature in shaping the interpretation and emotional impact of song lyrics, with a focus on Sara Bareilles’ "She Used to Be Mine" and "Brave". The objectives are threefold: (1) to examine how implicature contributes to lyrical meaning and emotional resonance, (2) to identify instances of implicature within the lyrics, and (3) to analyze the relationship between linguistic expression and thematic message. Adopting a qualitative research design and a content analysis approach, the study draws on two primary theoretical references: Analyzing Meaning: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics (Textbooks in Language Sciences 5) for implicature characterization, and Grice’s Logic and Conversation as the principal framework for categorizing implicatures. The analysis identifies four types of implicature—Conventional Implicature (CI), Generalized Conversational Implicature (GCI), Particularized Conversational Implicature (PCI), and Scalar Implicature (SI)—present in both songs. Findings reveal that "She Used to Be Mine" predominantly employs Conventional Implicature (78%) and Scalar Implicature (60%), aligning with its introspective and reflective tone. In contrast, "Brave" relies more heavily on Generalized Conversational Implicature (56%) and Particularized Conversational Implicature (63%), reinforcing its motivational and empowering message. These results highlight the nuanced role of implicature in shaping both the interpretive depth and emotional impact of musical discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of feminist theory within the matrilineal system of Minangkabau (Minang) culture as portrayed in the Indonesian film Cinta Tapi Beda (2012), directed by Hanung Bramantyo and Hestu Saputra. The research focuses on the conflict between the protagonist, Diana, and her mother, which reflects broader tensions between tradition, gender roles, and female autonomy. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing textual and character analysis of selected scenes. The analysis applied key frameworks of feminist theory—postmodern, liberal, and multicultural/global feminism—to identify the intersections of feminist discourse and matrilineal values. The findings indicate that while the Minangkabau matrilineal system provides women with a degree of symbolic authority, patriarchal structures continue to dominate social and cultural practices. This tension is most visible in the rejection of Diana’s romantic relationship, shaped primarily by religious and cultural restrictions rather than the matrilineal framework itself. The study demonstrates that feminist perspectives highlight contradictions within the Minang matrilineal system, revealing how female authority remains constrained by patriarchal norms. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between cultural identity, gender roles, and cinematic representation in Indonesia. Future research is recommended to examine how contemporary Indonesian films further negotiate tradition and gender equality.

Abstract

This study investigates the psychological development of the two main characters in Bridgerton Season 1—Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset—through the lens of Carl Gustav Jung’s archetype theory. The research is motivated by the need to understand how archetypal structures shape emotional growth, internal conflicts, and relational dynamics within popular screen narratives. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach within the framework of literary criticism. Selected dialogues and narrative events were analyzed to identify the presence and function of five primary Jungian archetypes: Persona, Shadow, Anima/Animus, Hero, and Self. The analysis reveals that Daphne undergoes a transformation from conformity to societal expectations toward the assertion of a more authentic self. In contrast, Simon confronts his fragmented emotional identity by reconciling with his past, ultimately achieving greater psychological integration. These archetypal patterns illuminate each character’s individuation process and their evolving relationship dynamics. The findings suggest that Jungian archetypes not only serve as effective analytical tools for understanding character development in television narratives but also function as symbolic frameworks that resonate with audiences. By highlighting the interplay between psychological archetypes and narrative construction, this study contributes to broader discussions of how media representations provide insight into human emotional experiences.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out the idiomatic expressions and semiotic cues shown in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019) Movie as final one to conclude all the movies on the Infinity Saga. This Saga consist of twenty-three movies started from Iron Man in 2008 until Avengers: Endgame in 2019. This research employs qualitative descriptive method while sociolinguistics and semiotic are used as the approaches. The movies’ scenes and dialogues are used as the primary data while scientific articles, books, and popular articles as secondary data. The data will be analyzed by reducing, displaying, and concluding them into the suitable categories and being explained. The researchers use McCarty and O’Dell’s theory of idioms and Peirce’s theory of signs for the data analysis. By doing this research, it is found that many kinds of idiomatic expressions like similes, binomials, proverbs, etc. can be found on the movies so that it will be easier for the readers to understand the usage of idiomatic expressions in any form of context. It is also hope that by identifying the messages signed by the symbols shown on the movies, the readers can be inspired and refer to societal reality. This research may contribute to a wider understanding and implementation of idiomatic expressions usage in any context and trigger readers critical thinking in identifying messages shown in signs or texts.

Abstract

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) illustrates how popular cinema can act as a platform for philosophical exploration, especially viewed through the perspective of existentialism. Though the movie is well-known for its satirical examination of gender roles and consumer culture, it additionally offers a more profound storyline that explores themes of identity, mortality, and significance. The background of the study lies in the increasing acknowledgment of film as a cultural text capable of refelcting and challenging philosophical issues. The aim is to examine Barbie’s existential turmoil and Ken’s concurrent quest for independence through the lenses of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, and Viktor Frankl. Using a qualitative approach, the study utilizes detailed analysis of important scenes and theoretical triangulation to explore themes of freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and the quest for meaning. The findings reveal that Barbie's encounter with imperfection and mortality represents Heidegger's concept of being-toward-death, whereas her choice to accept humanity signifies Frankl's logotherapy. Ken's reinterpretation of masculinity reinforces Beauvoir's and Sartre's focus on identity shaped by one's own choices. In the end, the research finds that Barbie goes beyond mere entertainment, providing a relatable yet deep examination of existentialist concepts and showcasing the philosophical possibilities of popular film

Abstract

This study examines how Charli XCX constructs and performs persona and identity in her 2024 album Brat. In contemporary pop music, persona functions as a performative self that mediates between an artist’s private identity and public image. While previous studies have explored musical persona and identity in popular music, limited attention has been given to the analysis of a full hyperpop album that integrates lyrics, vocal delivery, and production as a cohesive character construction. Addressing this gap, this research aims to analyze (1) how persona and identity are constructed in Brat, (2) the recurring emotional and character traits that define Charli XCX’s performed self, and (3) how the album reflects her identity in relation to themes of fame, vulnerability, and digital culture. Using a qualitative method, the study applies textual and interpretive analysis to all fifteen tracks of Brat, treating the album as a cultural text. The findings reveal that Charli XCX presents a fluid and shifting persona that oscillates between confidence, rebellion, insecurity, and emotional fragility. These traits are reinforced through minimalist lyrics, varied vocal performances, and experimental electronic production. The study concludes that Brat functions as both a personal and performative work, demonstrating how contemporary pop albums serve as spaces for identity construction through sound, voice, and cultural expression

Abstract

This study analyses both the difficulties and achievements involved in translating Goenawan Mohamad’s modern lyric poetry, which is known for its philosophical richness, compact diction, and ambiguity. It focuses on sensory imagery as a key element in shaping readers’ experiences and evaluates how effective the translator, Laksmi Pamuntjak, maintains aesthetic equivalence—balancing poetic form and meaning—when rendering imagery in the target language. This study uses a Qualitative Descriptive Method with a Text-Based Comparative Study design, analyzing 80 units of imagery. The results of the study show that all seven types of sensory imagery (Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic, Gustatory, Olfactory, and Organic) appear in the translations, confirming the achievement of a complete sensory spectrum. The key findings are the strong dominance of Visual Imagery with 36 occurrences and Kinesthetic Imagery with 31 occurrences.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of affixation in narrative texts that highlight natural phenomena and the experiences of the speakers in them. Affixation is one of the morphological processes in Indonesian that plays an important role in word formation, word class changes, and the development of meaning in a discourse. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research data are in the form of linguistic units containing affixation processes found in the text, including prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and confixes. The data collection technique was carried out using the listening and note-taking method through careful reading of the analyzed text. The results of the study show that the analyzed text contains the use of prefixes, suffixes, and confixes, while infixes are not found. The dominant prefixes used include me-, di-, ber-, and ter- which function to form active verbs, passive verbs, and express states and events. Suffixes such as -an, -itas, and -nya play a role in forming concrete and abstract nouns, as well as providing emphasis on meaning in sentences. In addition, the confixes me-kan, me-i, and ke--an are used to form causative meanings, processes, and certain states or situations. The absence of infixes indicates that the text makes greater use of productive and commonly used affixation forms in modern Indonesian.
