Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the types of illocutionary acts contained in the lyrics of the song Tanpa Cinta by Tiara Andini. A qualitative descriptive method is used to describe in detail the various types of speech acts actualized through the lyrics of the song. Data were obtained from Tiara Andini's official YouTube account related to the lyrics of Tanpa Cinta using the listening and note-taking technique. Using a pragmatic perspective as a framework for analysis, specifically Searle's (1979) theory of illocutionary acts, and based on the data analyzed, the following types of speech acts were found: A pragmatic perspective was used as the analytical framework, specifically Searle's (1979) theory of illocutionary acts. Based on the data analyzed, the types of speech acts found in the lyrics of Tiara Andini's song Tanpa Cinta were assertive, directive, expressive, and commissive. In this case, assertive speech acts dominate over other speech acts, and no declarative speech acts were found. The dominance of assertive speech acts occurs because the lyrics of Tanpa Cinta largely represent the speaker's depiction of the situation, beliefs, and assessments of the relationship they are experiencing, so that the speaker is committed to the truth of what they are saying. This indicates the speaker's effort to convey information or state a condition with a commitment to the truth of the utterance.

Abstract

This research explores the profound significance of visual semiotics in contemporary horror cinema, where atmospheric construction has become a primary tool for evoking psychological terror. Despite the success of elevated horror, a literature gap remains regarding the granular semiotic analysis of how specific technical elements specifically color and lighting function as a sign system to maintain sustained dread. This study aims to identify the dominant semiotic elements of color and lighting in James Wan’s The Conjuring (2013) and analyze their effects in creating a harrowing atmosphere. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive design with a semiotic approach, the study examines 20 purposively selected scenes through Roland Barthes’ three orders of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. Key findings reveal that the dominant semiotic markers include a desaturated color palette dominated by dark brown, greenish-grey, and black and low-key lighting techniques such as chiaroscuro and backlighting. Denotatively, these elements signify historical periodization and low visibility; connotatively, they signify spiritual corruption, isolation, and vulnerability. Furthermore, the research identifies that these visual signs coalesce into a cinematic "myth" of the domestic space as a predatory organism. The study concludes that the film’s efficacy in inducing dread is a deliberate semiotic construction; the empirical data shows that 'visual uncertainty' produced by the strategic obscuring of shadows through chiaroscuro and negative space compels the audience to project internal fears into the frame's unlit areas. These findings imply that in atmospheric horror, the manipulation of the viewer's perception through chromatic and luminant signs is more critical for emotional impact than explicit narrative or physical violence.

Abstract

Perception of speech is a fundamental skill in EFL learning that is very challenging for Indonesian learners due to the limitations of their L1 vocal system. Although previous studies have mostly used quantitative accuracy measurements, qualitative exploration of authentic experiences in the classroom is still limited, especially for university-level EFL students in the context of psycholinguistics. This study investigates the difficulties of fifth-semester English Education students at Nias University in perceiving minimal vowel pairs through a descriptive qualitative design. Data from 15 purposive sampling participants were collected through a minimal pairs listening test (20 items), semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The results show the highest error rates of 87% for /ɪ/–/iː/ (ship-sheep) and 80% for /ʊ/–/uː/ (full-fool), caused by the Indonesian vowel system, which has only five monophthongs without length/tension contrast. Internal factors included L1 phonological interference and cognitive load, while external factors included poor classroom audio quality and environmental noise. Students relied more on context-based top-down strategies than bottom-up phonetic analysis. These findings reveal patterns of vowel perception difficulties characteristic of Indonesian EFL in an authentic learning context.

Abstract

Figurative language plays a fundamental role in song lyrics as it enables songwriters to convey complex emotions, personal experiences, and deeper meanings beyond literal interpretation. This study aims to identify the types of figurative language found in Henry Moodie's song album Mood Swings and to explain how those figurative expressions are realized within the lyrics. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected from the lyrics of thirteen songs in the album, obtained from Spotify, and analyzed using Perrine's (1992) theory of figurative language. The findings reveal that five types of figurative language are found in the album, namely metaphor, simile, personification, symbol, and hyperbole, with a total of 40 instances identified. Symbol appears as the most dominant type with 10 instances, followed by hyperbole (9), metaphor (8), personification (7), and simile (6). The analysis demonstrates that each type serves a distinct expressive function in conveying emotional depth and personal experience throughout the lyrics. These findings indicate that figurative language is not merely a stylistic device in Henry Moodie's songwriting but a fundamental means of communicating emotional truth. This study is expected to contribute to the understanding of figurative language in song lyrics and to serve as a reference for students, researchers, and educators in the fields of linguistics and literary studies.

Abstract

Kajian kesantunan masih lebih banyak menekankan bentuk-bentuk linguistik, sementara penelitian yang menyoroti bagaimana siswa SMA memaknai, menegosiasikan, dan menerapkan kesantunan dalam berbagai konteks sosial serta kaitannya dengan pembentukan karakter masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan persepsi siswa SMA tentang strategi kesantunan dan skala kesantunan dalam komunikasi langsung maupun digital berdasarkan perspektif sosiopragmatik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui lima pertanyaan terbuka menggunakan Google Form kepada 699 siswa SMA di Provinsi Riau dan Kepulauan Riau. Data dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif yang mencakup reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan simpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa memaknai bahasa santun sebagai cara mencegah konflik, menjaga hubungan sosial, dan meningkatkan efektivitas komunikasi. Kesantunan juga dipahami sebagai praktik yang sangat dipengaruhi variabel sosial seperti usia, kekuasaan, dan jarak sosial, serta dipandang sebagai indikator karakter dan identitas moral. Selain itu, siswa menyesuaikan pilihan bahasa dalam komunikasi digital karena keterbatasan isyarat nonverbal dan adanya jejak digital yang bersifat permanen. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kesantunan berbahasa siswa bersifat kontekstual dan terbangun secara sosial, serta berperan penting dalam penguatan etika komunikasi dan pendidikan karakter di era digital.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms, analyze the influencing factors, and examine the functions of code-switching and code-mixing in TikTok content on the @devinkosh account. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach. The data source consists of utterances in TikTok videos containing code-switching and code-mixing phenomena. Data were collected using the non-participatory observation technique (SBLC) and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that there are three main forms: internal code-switching, external code-switching, and code-mixing. External code-switching is the most dominant form, characterized by shifts from Mandarin to Indonesian and English. Code-mixing generally occurs in the form of lexical insertion from other languages into the main language structure. The factors influencing these phenomena include communication context, interactional goals, speaker identity, and the need to clarify meaning. Functionally, both phenomena serve as effective communication strategies.

Abstract

This study investigates how friendship circles influence university students’ English language styles, focusing specifically on pronunciation adaptation and communication patterns. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design supported by quantitative data, involving 10 purposively selected students from an English Language Education Program in Indonesia. Data were collected using an online questionnaire consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, then analyzed using three-step model: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four key patterns of language variation shaped by peer interaction: (1) pronunciation adaptation, (2) communication style, (3) peer influence, and (4) slang and informal lexicon. Students exhibited partial pronunciation accommodation, often adopting certain native-like features while maintaining local accents to balance group belonging and identity. Communication patterns were dominated by casual, slang-filled interactions, with academic discourse used primarily in formal contexts. Peer groups emerged as linguistic communities, subtly shaping pronunciation, lexical choice, and register through daily interactions. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic discussions on language variation, highlighting how peer social environments function as powerful spaces of linguistic adaptation and identity negotiation among EFL students. The study also emphasizes that language adaptation within peer groups is not merely linguistic, but also a reflection of emotional bonding and shared values. Understanding this process helps illustrate how English learning becomes a social practice shaped by identity, community, and belonging.

Abstract

The research of this study was to determine whether the narrative essay writing abilities of male and female fourth-semester students in the English Language Education Study Program differed noticeably. The study adopted a descriptive comparative quantitative design. A total of 18 students from Class K1 at Raja Ali Haji Maritime University took part, comprising 9 males and 9 females chosen via purposive sampling. To collect the necessary data, participants completed a writing test requiring them to produce a 450-word narrative essay on a shared topic under uniform conditions. Two raters then assessed the essays independently, applying an analytic scoring rubric adopted from Jacobs et al. (1981) that covers five writing dimensions content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. Each student's final score represented the average of the two raters' evaluations. The researchers analyzed the data using several statistical procedures: descriptive statistics, the independent samples t-test, Cohen's d to gauge effect size, Levene's test for homogeneity of variance, and Shapiro-Wilk test for normality. Results indicated that female participants scored higher on average (84.11) than their male counterparts (72.89). With a two-sided p-value of 0.033 below the 0.05 threshold the t-test confirmed a statistically significant gender-based difference in narrative essay writing performance. The effect size, measured at 1.10 using Cohen's d, further indicated a substantial (large) practical distinction between the two groups. When combined, these findings indicate that female students in this sample were better at writing narrative essays than male students.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Listening Cloze Technique on students’ listening comprehension in narrative texts among eighth-grade students at SMPN 4 Tanjungpinang. The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this study consisted of eighth-grade students at SMPN 4 Tanjungpinang in the academic year 2025/2026. The samples were class 8.6 as the experimental class and class 8.8 as the control class, each consisting of 40 students. The experimental class was taught using the Listening Cloze Technique, while the control class received conventional listening instruction. The research instrument was a listening comprehension test consisting of gap-fill, true or false, and multiple-choice questions based on narrative texts. The data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and Independent Samples t-test through IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0. The results of the normality test showed that all significance values were higher than 0.05, indicating that the data were normally distributed. The homogeneity test also indicated that the data were homogeneous with a significance value of 0.691 (>0.05). Furthermore, the Independent Samples t-test revealed a significance value (two-tailed) of <0.001, which was lower than 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that the Listening Cloze Technique had a significant effect on students’ listening comprehension in narrative texts.

Abstract

This study explores how fictional words from the Wicked movie franchise are formed, how they function in utterances, and how they support the characterization and plot. The qualitative descriptive method and interpretative approach was used in this study. This study primarily applied Yule’s (2023) word formation processes and Holmes’ (2013) speech functions. While the discussion is based on the narrative functions of fictional languages by Noletto (2024). Out of 53 fictional words, there were five out of seven types of word formation processes by Yule (2023) that were found, with derivation being the dominant type (53%). The word formation process of blending that is a part of compounding was also applied in analyzing the fictional words. There were three words that could not be analyzed using Yule’s (2023) word formation processes, therefore the concept of alternation by Fromkin et al. (2013) was applied to analyze them. Out of six speech functions by Holmes (2013), five of them were found. The dominant type that was found was referential (45.63%). Based on the function of the utterances, the fictional words’ functions were analyzed. The fictional words also support the characterization of the movies, which aligns with the descriptive function by Noletto (2024). There are several characters who are considered in the higher social class that frequently use fictional words. The fictional words also support other characters’ personalities and developments. Several fictional words also supported several turning points in the development of the plot. This aligns with the diegetic function by Noletto (2024).
