Abstract

This study is aimed at finding and analyzing errors in the use of simple present tense in descriptive texts written by seventh graders of SMP Swasta Pangeran Antasari Medan. The approach followed in this research was a qualitative method involving description and analysis. This data was collected through the students using tests that had been pre-prepared for them and interviews that were structured. In view of this, it is worth noting that there are only two main types of errors: intralingual errors and interlingual errors. These hindrances are caused by interference from their native language, Bahasa Indonesia thus making them disarrange sentences wrongly or even create new words. Meanwhile, intra-lingual errors, such as omission and addition, arise due to students' lack of understanding of English grammar rules. From the total 90 errors identified, omission errors were the most dominant with a percentage of 42.2%, followed by mis-formation (25.5%), mis-ordering (16.6%), and addition (15.5%). This study underscores the importance of more focused and interactive grammar teaching, as well as more frequent writing practice with constructive feedback to reduce errors in Simple Present Tense usage. The results are anticipated to enhance to standard of English language instruction in educational institutions, namely in the area of composing descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study seeks to identify the intertextual elements in Matsuri and explore how they contribute to a cohesive understanding of the piece, focusing on its relationship to Japanese culture and spirituality. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using textual analysis to examine Matsuri as both a verbal and visual text. Data was gathered from library sources, including written texts and media related to Kojiki, the ancient Japanese text that inspired the album's themes. Matsuri incorporates both verbal and visual texts. Verbal elements include references to Kojiki and titles in the album, while visual elements involve traditional Japanese instruments like the Taiko drum, which connect the music to Japanese rituals and festivals. This blend of traditional and modern influences highlights cultural continuity within Japan’s modern identity. The intertextuality in Matsuri reveals its dual role as a reflection of Japanese cultural heritage and as a medium for personal and communal identity formation. The persistence of traditional practices, even as they evolve with modernization, underscores the enduring significance of rituals like Matsuri in Japanese society.

Abstract

This research explores the role of metaphor in the lyrics of Sia's 1000 Forms of Fear album, examining how figurative language enhances the emotional and conceptual effects of the songs. Using a qualitative methodology, this study classifies metaphors into ontological, structural, and orientational categories according to Lakoff and Johnson's framework. The results reveal the dominance of ontological metaphors, which transform abstract feelings into concrete experiences, allowing listeners to engage deeply with themes of resilience, vulnerability, and mental challenges. The research emphasizes the cognitive and emotional role of metaphors in music, illustrating how metaphors assist listeners in understanding complex feelings and stories. The study highlights that metaphorical language in music not only deepens lyrical content but also enhances emotional resonance, ultimately expanding our understanding of the function of music in conveying complex human experiences.
