Abstract

This study explores the construction of meaning through verbal and non-verbal signs in the Dior Sauvage advertisement featuring Johnny Depp. The research is grounded in Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, which examines meaning at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. The study addresses how linguistic and visual elements within the advertisement construct and reinforce representations of masculinity. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected from selected scenes focusing on verbal signs, such as brand naming and lexical choices, as well as non-verbal signs, including color, setting, costume, and body language. The findings reveal that the advertisement constructs masculinity through signs associated with strength, mystery, freedom, and independence. At the mythological level, the advertisement reinforces an ideological representation of ideal masculinity as dominant, emotionally restrained, and deeply connected to nature. The study concludes that meaning in advertising is not naturally inherent but socially and culturally produced through interconnected systems of signs that shape audience perceptions and ideological understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mythical structure embedded in the short story Pengorbanan Sulung by Bagus Sulistio through Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structuralist framework. The research addresses how mythemes, binary oppositions, and myth transformations construct the narrative plot and generate meaning. The story portrays a family bound by a supernatural covenant that requires the sacrifice of the firstborn before reaching the age of twenty, reflecting a tension between human agency and metaphysical determinism. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with textual analysis, identifying key mythemes such as covenantal birth and sacrificial obligation, as well as binary oppositions including firstborn versus youngest, human versus jinn, and compassion versus injustice. The findings reveal that the narrative structure is shaped by a network of relational meanings, in which significance emerges from the interplay between structural elements rather than isolated units. Myth transformation is evident as a realistic family conflict evolves into a mystical revelation concerning the destiny of the firstborn. This study contributes a novel perspective by applying Lévi-Strauss’s structuralism to contemporary short fiction, particularly within the intersection of familial and mystical themes.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of improving students’ narrative writing ability in Indonesian language learning by integrating audiovisual media into classroom practice. It investigates whether the use of the film Frozen (2013) significantly enhances the narrative writing skills of eighth-grade students at Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 5 Medan during the 2025–2026 academic year. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study compares students’ writing performance before and after the intervention, involving both control and experimental groups. The findings reveal a substantial improvement in the experimental group, which achieved a mean score of 78.63 compared to 49.15 in the control group, indicating that the film-based learning approach outperforms conventional methods. The results confirm a statistically significant effect of using Frozen (2013) as a learning medium on students’ narrative writing skills. This study argues that audiovisual media, particularly films, can effectively stimulate students’ imagination, engagement, and linguistic competence, thereby contributing to more innovative and effective Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study examines syntactic interference in the Indonesian language as used by speakers of the Dani ethnic group in Papua, a phenomenon arising from the interaction between regional language systems and standard Indonesian. The research addresses how differences in syntactic structures manifest when Dani speakers employ Indonesian in everyday communication. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through documentary observation, literature review, and note-taking techniques, as well as attentive listening to language use across various media, including digital video platforms. The findings reveal several forms of syntactic interference, including deviations in sentence structure patterns, the addition of sentence elements, and the incorporation of local phatic expressions within Indonesian utterances. These patterns indicate that the Dani language exerts a significant influence on the syntactic realization of Indonesian among its speakers. The study argues that such interference reflects not only linguistic transfer but also the persistence of cultural and communicative norms embedded in local languages. These findings contribute to the field of sociolinguistics and syntax, particularly in understanding bilingual language behavior and its implications for language learning and policy.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Differentiated Instruction on students’ writing skills in descriptive texts at State Senior High School 1 Sei Kepayang during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research was motivated by students’ low achievement in writing descriptive texts and the limited use of instructional strategies that accommodate diverse learning needs. The study addressed whether Differentiated Instruction significantly improved students’ writing performance compared to conventional teaching methods. A quantitative experimental design was employed involving two groups, namely an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 33 students. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments and analyzed using the t-test formula. The findings revealed that the experimental class showed a substantial improvement, with the mean score increasing from 66.6 to 85.7, while the control class improved from 49.6 to 57.7. Hypothesis testing demonstrated that the t-count value (31.42) exceeded the t-table value (1.998) at the significance level of 0.05 with 64 degrees of freedom. The study concludes that Differentiated Instruction has a statistically significant positive effect on students’ writing skills in descriptive texts and can be effectively implemented to enhance students’ writing achievement.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of modern music, particularly through both paid and free streaming platforms, has intensified scholarly interest in song lyrics as not merely entertainment but as complex linguistic artifacts embedded with semantic and contextual meanings. This study addresses the problem of how grammatical structures contribute to meaning construction in song lyrics, focusing on the question of how grammatical forms shape semantic interpretation in Hindia’s “Everything You Are.” Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Abdul Chaer’s grammatical theory (2013), data were collected through attentive listening and systematic note-taking of linguistic units, including words, phrases, and clauses. The data were subsequently classified into three primary morphological processes: affixation, reduplication, and composition. The findings reveal 13 distinct grammatical forms that demonstrate a rich interplay between structure and meaning, highlighting how grammatical processes function to intensify emotional nuance and ideological expression. The analysis shows that these linguistic features reinforce central themes of self-acceptance, unconditional love, and human existence. This study argues that grammatical-semantic analysis of song lyrics provides deeper insights into how language constructs meaning within socio-cultural contexts, positioning song lyrics as significant objects of linguistic inquiry.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenges faced by junior secondary school students in producing coherent narrative texts, which are closely associated with their mastery of vocabulary and grammatical competence in Indonesian. The research investigates the extent to which vocabulary mastery and Indonesian grammar proficiency are related to students’ narrative writing ability among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Kota Serang. Employing a correlational research design, the study utilizes descriptive statistical analysis, prerequisite testing, and hypothesis testing to examine the relationships among variables. The findings reveal significant positive correlations between vocabulary mastery and narrative writing ability (r = 0.587 > 0.242), as well as between grammar mastery and narrative writing ability (r = 0.661 > 0.242). Furthermore, the combined contribution of vocabulary and grammar mastery to students’ narrative writing ability is substantial, with a coefficient of determination of 0.537, indicating that both variables jointly explain a considerable proportion of variance in writing performance. These results demonstrate that linguistic competence, particularly in vocabulary and grammar, plays a critical role in shaping students’ ability to construct effective narrative texts, reinforcing the argument that integrated language instruction is essential for improving writing outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the lexical variation of the Kerinci language across Pulau Tengah, Benik, and Jujun Villages in Keliling Danau District, Kerinci Regency, in response to linguistic diversity shaped by geographical and socio-cultural dynamics. The research addresses the question of how lexical differences manifest among these speech communities and to what extent such differences indicate dialectal variation. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study utilizes 200 basic vocabulary items based on the Morris Swadesh list, with data collected through observation, interviews, elicitation, recording, and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed through transcription, identification, classification, and dialectometric calculation. The findings reveal that 36 out of 200 glosses exhibit lexical variation, indicating differences in form while maintaining similar meanings across the three villages. Dialectometric analysis shows a difference percentage of 16%, which falls within the “no significant difference” category (0%–20%). These results suggest that despite observable lexical variation, the Kerinci language in the three locations remains relatively homogeneous, influenced by close geographical proximity, social interaction, and shared cultural practices.

Abstract

Language plays a fundamental role in human interaction as a medium for conveying ideas and information, and its comparative study is addressed within contrastive linguistics. This study investigates the similarities and differences in vocabulary between Indonesian and Malaysian Malay as represented in the series Melur untuk Firdaus Season 2 Episode One, addressing how lexical variations reflect linguistic and cultural distinctions. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected using listening and note-taking techniques, including the derivative free listening technique with involved speaking. Data analysis was conducted using the matching and distributional methods, while findings were presented informally. The results reveal 25 instances of Indonesian vocabulary (BBMS) and 6 instances of Malaysian Malay vocabulary (BBMB), highlighting both shared lexical roots and distinctive variations influenced by sociocultural contexts. The study argues that despite structural and historical proximity, the two languages exhibit meaningful lexical divergences that shape comprehension and communication. These findings contribute to the enrichment of contrastive linguistic studies and provide insights into cross-linguistic understanding in media contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students’ ability in writing recount texts at State Senior High School 7 Tanjungbalai during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research was motivated by students’ difficulties in organizing ideas, applying appropriate grammatical structures, and developing coherent recount texts through conventional instructional methods. The study addressed whether the implementation of the PBL model significantly improved students’ writing ability compared to traditional teaching strategies. A quantitative experimental design was employed involving 68 tenth-grade students, consisting of 34 students in the experimental group and 34 students in the control group. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments and analyzed using the t-test formula. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated a substantial improvement, with the mean score increasing from 62.2 in the pre-test to 81.5 in the post-test, while the control group improved from 57.6 to 66.8. Statistical analysis showed that the t-observed value (11.14) exceeded the t-table value (1.997) at the significance level of 0.05 with 66 degrees of freedom. The study concludes that the Problem-Based Learning model has a significant positive effect on students’ ability in writing recount texts.
