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.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the names of colours in the Sikka Language, analyse the connotations associated with these colours, and investigate their functions within the Sikka community. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and data elicitation with native speakers from Wolomotong Village. Data analysis employed the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory to uncover the semantic and cultural meanings of colour terms. The findings reveal that the Sikka Language categorizes colours into three groups: basic colours, such as red (merak), white (bura), and black (mitan); derived colours, such as yellow (heret), green (daan), blue (daan wair) and brown(meran); and modern or borrowed colours, such as purple (langor), orange (heret duan), and pink (meran nurak). Colours in the Sikka Language carry profound connotative meanings tied to cultural and social contexts, including symbolic associations with beauty, courage, purity, and prosperity. Additionally, colours serve vital functions as markers of social identity, integral components of traditional rituals, and mediums for conveying cultural values. This study contributes to the field of semantics by offering insights into the interplay between language, culture, and cognition. Furthermore, it supports the preservation and promotion of local languages and cultural heritage.

Abstract

This research analyzes the exorcism prayers uttered by the main character in the exorcism ritual scene in the film The Pope's Exorcist (2023). The purpose is to examine the elements of speech acts based on Austin's theory (1962) developed by Searle (1969). The elements include locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. The research also seeks to determine whether the exorcism prayers fall into the constative or performative category. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a pragmatic analysis approach. The results show 5 data on each element of speech acts that are interrelated. In the locutionary act, the 5 data contain literal meanings in accordance with the three main aspects, namely phonetic, phatic, and retic. Illocutionary act consists of 3 expressive and 2 directives. While perlocutionary act include 3 that cause surprising, 1 dissuading, and 1 persuading. In terms of speech categories, 2 are constative and 3 are performative. This research contributes to pragmatic linguistic analysis in religious-horror films and offers insights into language use in Chatolic Church ritual practices, particularly exorcism.

Abstract

Nowadays, many Indonesian literary works are translated into English due to Indonesian authors Internationally acknowledged. One of them is Intan Paramaditha Book entitled Spinner of Darkness & Other Tales. The stories in this book have been translated into English and German. This article aims to show how Conditional Sentences in the stories are being translated into English and what literary translation strategies were used to translate them. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The Literary translation of conditional sentences and the use of the literary translation strategies are analyzed and described qualitatively. The result of the study showed that conditional sentences are translated into three different types of English conditional sentences. 10% of the data are translated into Conditional sentences type 1, 80% of the data are translated into conditional sentences type 2, and 10% of the data are translated into Conditional sentences type 3. There are three literary translation strategies used to translate conditional sentences; 50% of the data used helper strategy, 30% of the data used adherent strategy and 20% of the data used observer strategy. Thus, the literary translation approach that is mostly used in this study is a biased approach since helper strategy belongs to Biased principal-strategies

Abstract

The false narrative of settler colonialism is a form of colonial narrative through literacy media carried out to be able to control an area and eliminate the identity of the indigenous population of a community. This study aims to dismantle the false narrative contained in one of the Israeli children's story books entitled “Alon and Lebanon". The theoretical basis used in this study is the Critical Discourse Analysis Theory by Teun A. Van Dijk (2001), this theory offers two concepts of analysis levels, namely microlevel analysis and macrolevel analysis. The supporting theories used in this study are Marcel Danesi's Narrative Theory (2004) and Evelyn Nakana Glenn's Settler Colonialism Theory (2014). The study was conducted using qualitative methods. The results of the study show that in the Israeli children's story book entitled “Alon and Lebanon" two types of false narratives were found, namely absurd narrative and deceptive narrative.
