Abstract

This research presents a semiotic analysis in an episode of a television series, focusing on Episode 5 of Moon Knight, titled "Asylum." Utilizing Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic model—comprising representamen, object, and interpretant—this study aims to investigate how signs and symbols function within the narrative to construct meaning, depict trauma, and illustrate the protagonist’s fragmented identity. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, the research identifies key symbolic elements such as the asylum, the goddess Taweret, and the feather of the truth and examines their roles in expressing inner conflict and psychological dissociation. 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

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. his study contributes to both linguistic and music discourse by addressing a research gap: although implicature has been widely examined in spoken conversations, literary works, and advertisements, its application in the analysis of popular song lyrics remains limited. By focusing on this underexplored area, the study underscores the importance of pragmatic analysis in understanding artistic language and offers insights into how implicit communication shapes listener engagement and emotional connection.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the visual semiotics of Mykonos' Milk Drops series, a collection of unisex fragrances that challenge traditional gender norms in the perfume industry. The study investigates how the packaging of these fragrances communicates the essence of the scents within, focusing on the signs and symbols employed to convey meaning and evoke consumer interest. This qualitative research employs purposive sampling to focus on three specific variants of Mykonos' Milk Drops series: Milk Drops, Pink Drops, and Café Drops. The study applies Peirce's triadic semiotic theory to examine the non-verbal signs found on the packaging, classifying them as Qualisigns, Sinsigns, Icons, Indexes, Rheme and Dicents. This research offers valuable insights into the role of visual semiotics in the fragrance industry, particularly regarding perfumes. By demonstrating how packaging can encapsulate complex ideas and emotions through visual language, the study emphasizes the significance of design in marketing strategies and its potential impact on consumer behavior. The findings reveals how non-verbal signs communicate the product's essence. The packaging initially presents as a Qualisign (color), followed by various Sinsigns (cow images, box shape, cowhide patterns, water droplets). These function as Icons (representing cows and milk cartons) and Indexes (cowhide), with water droplets further suggesting the freshness and scent of milk.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the ecranisation process of intrinsic elements, including plot, characters, and settings, from the novel "Cinta dalam Ikhlas" (2017) by Kang Abay into its film adaptation (2024) directed by Fajar Bustomi. The method employed is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques. The ecranisation theory used covers three main processes: reduction (shrinkage), expansion (addition), and variation change. The results show that in the plot aspect, there is a reduction in the main character's middle school memories and a variation change in the exam announcement medium from newspapers to online systems. In the character aspect, there is a reduction in the number of the main character's siblings and the removal of several supporting characters. Meanwhile, in the setting aspect, visual adjustments were made to support the dramatization of the story on the big screen. In conclusion, the transformation from novel to film underwent various significant changes to adapt to the duration and aesthetics of audio-visual media without losing the essence of the religious message in the story.

Abstract

This study investigates connotative meaning in Zohran Mamdani’s speeches and its relation to Muslim identity. It addresses the limited discussion of how connotative meaning functions in political discourse, particularly in relation to minority identity. This study aims to identify positive and negative connotative meanings and explain how they relate to the expression of Muslim identity. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes 13 lexical items selected from two speeches delivered in different political contexts. The analysis is based on Leech’s (1981) theory of connotative meaning and Joseph’s (2004) view of language and identity. The findings show that 6 lexical items carry positive connotations, reflecting affirmation, dignity, belonging, visibility, and solidarity, while 7 lexical items carry negative connotations, indicating marginalization, stigma, prejudice, and social pressure. The study finds that connotative meaning is closely related to identity because it shows how Muslim identity is expressed, experienced, and understood through lexical choices. Overall, the study suggests that speech is not only used to deliver messages, but also to shape identity within a broader social context.

Abstract

Mastering knowledge of a language entails understanding its lexicon. Morpheme is one of the numerous basic units in morphology. Derivational suffixes are found in bound morphemes. Derivational suffixes can change the category and kind of meaning of the form to which they apply, resulting in the creation of a new word. This article examines the class-changing derivational suffixes in a children’s story book entitled “Magnificent Millie”. This research used descriptive-qualitative method to discover and understand how language, specifically suffixation, is utilized to construct meaning in a text. The research data is collected by using a documentation technique. The research object is a children’s story book entitled “Magnificent Millie”. The result of this study shows that class-changing derivational suffixes can be found in a children’s story book entitled “Magnificent Millie”. the researcher found 15 data of class-changing derivational suffixes which is divided into 10 data of noun derivation, 4 data of adverb derivation, and 1 datum of adjective derivation. This shows that children’s story book can be a good medium to learn about derivational suffixes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze gender oppression in the horror film Immaculate directed by Michael Mohan. The study seeks to understand how gender oppression is shown through the main female character's experiences inside a religious institution. Using a qualitative method, this study relied on repeated viewing of the film and examined selected scenes, dialogues, and character interactions that highlight the main character's experiences of oppression. The data was then analyzed through Iris Marion Young's Five Faces of Oppression theory, which provides a useful framework for identifying how oppression works against marginalized individuals. The findings show that all five forms of oppression appear in the film, namely exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence. The main character's body was used by the institution without her knowledge or consent for religious purposes. She was excluded from meaningful participation within the convent community, and she had no power to make decisions about her own body and health. She was also forced to accept the institution's dominant belief system and suffered physical violence as a deliberate means of institutional control. These findings show how Immaculate criticizes gender-based oppression within religious and institutional settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of the flipped classroom method to improve first-year students’ Chinese listening skills and examines their satisfaction with its implementation in the “Chuji Hanyu Tingli Xia” course. A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was employed with 32 Mandarin Language Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang, Indonesia. The intervention lasted six weeks and included pre-class listening materials, classroom discussion, peer correction, and teacher-guided practice. Data were collected using the HSK Level 3 listening test and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The results showed that students’ mean listening score increased from 67.19 to 78.59. A paired-samples t-test indicated a significant difference, t(31) = −4.790, p < .001, with a large effect size (Cohen’s d<sub>z</sub> = 0.85). The questionnaire results also indicated generally positive student satisfaction. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because no control group was used.

Abstract

Slang represents a dynamic form of informal language that reflects social identity, interpersonal relationships, and cultural practices within speech communities. Although numerous studies have investigated slang in films, songs, and animated media, relatively few have applied Eric Partridge's sociolinguistic taxonomy to contemporary audiovisual discourse. This study aims to identify and analyze the types of slang used in Haunted Hotel Episode 1 based on Eric Partridge's classification of slang. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using document analysis. The data consisted of slang expressions identified from the official English subtitles and spoken dialogues of Haunted Hotel Episode 1. The data were collected through repeated viewing, transcription verification, identification of candidate slang expressions, and classification according to Partridge's taxonomy. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal 15 slang expressions that satisfy Partridge's criteria. All identified expressions belong to Society Slang, including heads up, goddamn it, dude, hell yeah, big bro, jeez, son of a bitch, sis, buddy, what the hell, what the hell is it?, come on man, bitch and damn it. These expressions primarily function to express familiarity, emotional intensity, humor, solidarity, and spontaneity in everyday interaction among family members, hotel staff, guests, and supernatural characters. The dominance of Society Slang indicates that the series emphasizes natural conversational language characteristics of contemporary informal communication. The study contributes to sociolinguistic research by demonstrating the continuing relevance of Partridge's taxonomy for analyzing slang in modern animated television discourse while distinguishing genuine slang from ordinary informal vocabulary and contractions.

Abstract

Social awareness is a central component of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) because it supports empathy, perspective-taking, respect for diversity, and responsible participation in social life. In English language education, textbooks function not only as linguistic resources but also as carriers of social and interpersonal values. However, previous studies have more often examined moral or cultural values in general than the specific representation of social awareness in English textbooks. This study investigates how social awareness is represented in English for Nusantara Grade IX, an Indonesian junior high school English textbook, by using the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework. Employing qualitative content analysis, the study analysed both verbal elements, including dialogues, narratives, instructions, and tasks, and visual elements, including illustrations and photographs. The findings identified 215 instances of social awareness, of which 173 instances (80.5%) were verbal and 42 instances (19.5%) were visual. The most frequent sub-skills were taking others’ perspectives (54 instances) and recognising situational demands and opportunities (52 instances), while showing concern for the feelings of others (9 instances) and identifying diverse social norms, including unjust ones (10 instances), appeared least frequently. The findings indicate that the textbook strongly emphasises interpersonal understanding and adaptability, mainly through context-rich dialogues and narratives, while visual elements play a supportive rather than independent role. The study concludes that although the textbook meaningfully incorporates social awareness, its representation remains uneven. More balanced integration across all CASEL sub-skills, especially those related to emotional care, diversity, and unjust social norms, is needed to better support holistic SEL development in English language learning.
