Abstract

This research presents a semiotic analysis in an episode of a television series. The objective of this research is to analyze symbols in Moon Knight Episode 5: Asylum using Pierce's triadic model of signs, which consists of Representamen (the form of the sign), Object (the subject the sign refers to), and Interpretant (the meaning generated in the observer's mind). The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method through library research. Key symbolic elements, such as the asylum, the goddess Taweret, and the feather of the truth, are examined as signs that carry layered meanings related to identity, guilt, healing, and rebirth. The researchers found and analyzed 10 symbols in the studied episode. This analysis reveals how the episode constructs psychological, mythological, and moral meanings through visual and narrative symbolic signs to represent the main character's inner emotional states. Furthermore, the analyzed episode serves as a powerful example of how visual narration and semiotic structures can merge to explore mental health, identity fragmentation, and the quest for self-acceptance.

Abstract

This study explores the use of literary techniques, particularly metaphors, in imaginative writing, with a focus on song lyrics. The research examines the metaphorical elements in the song lyrics of "Tarian Penghancur Raya" by Feast. Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, data were collected through note-taking techniques. The data analysis utilized the directed content analysis method to identify the types of metaphors and their implications from a semantic perspective. The findings reveal four explicit (in praesentia) and implicit (in absentia) metaphors in the song "The Great Destroyer Dance". These metaphors were proportionately applied, creating a balance that enhances the song's auditory appeal while effectively conveying its embedded messages. The study concludes that the strategic use of explicit and implicit metaphors contributes to the song's ability to evoke imagination and deliver its thematic depth. This research highlights the significance of metaphorical elements in enriching literary works and their potential impact on listeners.

Abstract

This research analyzes the exorcism dialog in the film The Pope's Exorcist (2023), especially the prayers uttered by the main character in the exorcism ritual. The purpose of this research is to describe the speech acts elements in the exorcism prayers using Austin's (1962) speech acts theory which includes locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary, so as to explain whether the utterances in the exorcism prayers are constative or performative according on their respective characteristics. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with pragmatics analysis approach. Data in the form of exorcism prayers excerpts were analyzed based on the three main elements of speech acts. The results show that locutionary act reflect the typical structure of general prayers and exorcism prayers in the Catholic Church's faith. Illocutionary act function as commands, requests, and declaratives that reflect the spiritual authority of the exorcist. While perlocutionary act have an impact on demon and the possessed individual. Overall, exorcism prayers tends to be performative in nature as it not only conveys meaning (constative), but also acts visibly in the context of religious rituals. This research contributes to the study of pragmatic linguistics in religious-horror films and provides insight into the use of language in the context of religious rituals, especially in the case of exorcism.

Abstract

Pragmatics, a branch of linguistics, examines how context influences meaning in communication. This study applies H.P. Grice’s theory of implicature to explore how Ed Sheeran’s lyrics convey implicit meanings that deepen emotional impact and engage listeners. While modern music often carries rich emotional undertones, the subtle, implied meanings in lyrics are frequently overlooked. Recognizing these layers is key to understanding how language in music communicates complex feelings and experiences. The research aimed to identify and categorize conventional and conversational implicatures in five selected songs: The A Team, Bloodstream, Castle on the Hill, Photograph, and Salt Water. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzed lyrical content in both auditory and visual formats, focusing on how context and shared knowledge influence interpretation. A total of 32 implicatures were identified 15 conventional and 17 conversational each contributing uniquely to the listener’s emotional and interpretive experience. These findings highlight Sheeran’s ability to encode meaning through culturally familiar expressions and subtle narrative cues, enhancing the depth and relatability of his music. This study contributes to both linguistic and music discourse by addressing a gap in research on implicature in popular music. It underscores the importance of pragmatic analysis in understanding artistic language and offers insights into how implicit communication shapes listener engagement and emotional connection.

Abstract

Language variation arises from social interactions and reflects a speaker's ability to adapt their communication style to different contexts and purposes. In Sociolinguistics, the choice of a language variety is influenced by the speaker's need for an appropriate communication situation. This research examines the use of language variation in the film Designated Survivor. The analysis was based on the five language variations proposed in Martin Joos’s theory. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative method. This analysis identified 129 language variation: 2 frozen styles, 40 formal styles, 48 consultative styles, 36 casual styles, and 3 intimate styles. The consultative style found as the dominant style in this research due to many existing meetings and negotiations in which both the speaker and the addressee convey their argument, opinion, and point of view about the topic being discussed.
