Abstract

As a visual sign, photography is considered to be the right mediun to represent an object with all its resemblance with the reality. The reality embedded in a photography is in line with the reliability of its audience who adhere to "seeing is believeing" or believing in seeing. On the other hand, carefully structured verbal signs in a storyline appear in a narrative medium, one of which is a novel. Most novels that are considered popular are then often adapted to the story of a big screen film and then the cover of the original novel is replaced with a photo work that is considered as a representation of the story in a film. This research will examine how photography becomes an instrument of visual representation in conveying the message of the content of fiction novels and finding out the imagery relationships constructed by both verbal and pictorial texts on the cover of novels. This study used descriptive qualitative methods that would describe the aspects and characteristics of a particular message through empirical interpretation. It is hoped that the results of this study will add to the discourse on the visual representation of photography that can effectively deliver the message of the story by representing the entire narrative in the novel with just one frame in the form of a novel cover.

Abstract

This present research investigates the use of lexical bundles in research articles across different disciplinary areas: natural science and social science. The results showed that there are some differences in the use of lexical bundles between disciplines in the term of frequency, structures, and functions. We found that the frequency of lexical bundles can vary between natural science and social science RA. For example, the lexical bundle "in the learning process" is more common in natural science, while the lexical bundle "on the other hand" is more common in social science. Based on the structural forms, the most common structural form of lexical bundles in natural science RA is verb-based. While the most common structural form of lexical bundles in social science RA is prepositional-based. The contradiction suggests that in terms of structure, there are differences between natural and social science RA writing styles, how the authors establish arguments, and also present results. Meanwhile from the functional classifications, we can conclude that both types of RA have the same order in terms of the frequency of the functional use, with research-oriented bundles being the most frequent. The findings can be used to improve the readability of research articles in one discipline, as well as to help researchers learn the conventions of writing in one discipline.

Abstract

Usually, the Nusa Bali Cartoon raises public or political issues with satire, jokes, or humor. In contrast to the Nusa Bali cartoon with an education theme, it features cockfighting, which only contains satire on public issues. Problems that arise: 1) What is the meaning of the cockfighting cartoon in the Nusa Bali on June 5, 2021 ?; 2) Is the cockfighting cartoon in the Nusa Bali newspaper dated June 5, 2021, educational? The problem of this article has been solved by using a qualitative method. Primary data was collected through newspaper observations and interviews with informants. Secondary data was obtained by applying a literature study. All qualitative data was analyzed using a semiotic approach with the help of symbol theory and deconstruction theory. The results showed that: 1) The connotative and denotative meanings of the Nusa Bali cockfighting cartoon; 2) The Nusa Bali cockfighting myth depicts the chances of success without work. The educational meaning of the Nusa Bali cartoon is represented by an explanation of the disadvantages of cockfighting, the state's prohibition on gambling for Indonesian citizens, and the prohibition on Hindu scriptures and literacy for Hindus.

Abstract

Like many other pressing problems in today's society, plastic pollution is being investigated by linguists under the subcategory of ecolinguistics. In this context, the present study tries to identify the material process in BBC's selected articles on plastic pollution. In particular, by using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014), the study qualitatively analyzes the way how material processes in SFL indicate something that has been done physically between two entities in a clause. This research explains verbs as material processes in clauses and the function of their appearance in BBC’s selected articles based on transitivity analysis as part of SFL and categorizes them as creative or transformative processes. From this research, it can be seen that the material process is very useful in writing texts, especially in defining a process, whether it is creative, or transformative. From the analysis, the actor tends to change of some aspects of the existing things, rather than creating the new ones by the process. Keywords: BBC, ecolinguistics, material process, plastic pollution, systemic functional linguistics

Abstract

The development of image generators in visual arts has garnered attention from the field of art education, and this article explores the interaction between language syntax and visual arts through the use of image prompt generators. Given the increasing utilization of AI technology in visual creativity within art education. The research methodology involves analyzing the language syntax within prompts used as instructions for image prompt generators, followed by a visual evaluation of the generated outcomes related to the language descriptions. Data analysis will highlight the correlation between language syntax instructions and visual interpretations, with the subjective of identifying the extent to which language usage influences visual artistic creativity. The results are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of language syntax in creating visual artworks through image prompt generator technology. The implications of this research can enhance comprehension of language syntax usage in the context of visual arts and support the development of more interactive art education methods.

Abstract

The title of this study is An Analysis of Idiomatic Expressions Found In “The Lightning Thief (Original Cast Recording)” Song Lyrics. The objective of this study is to analyze the existence of idioms inside of an existing work of literature in the form of songs as part of a musical play and what the idiom classified as, specifically what set them apart from each other and what pattern made them classified as one type through their semantic side. This study also includes an analysis of idiomatic expressions in the form of idiom references as it is considered part of the character’s personal touch as part of a story. Through a qualitative research method, the writer gathers and analyzes each idiom that exists based on listed idioms of the fourth edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Idioms by John Ayto to separate them into 3 idiom classifications made by Cacciari & Glucksberg in 1991 to those Compositional Opaque, Compositional Transparent, and Quasi Metaphorical. Each type is sometimes difficult to classify, possibly due to the existence of either phrasal verbs or individual words that have multiple meanings.

The development of photography so far has encouraged the birth of various forms of new concepts in the field of photography. The birth of digital photography technology has provided various conveniences and encouraged photographers to develop photography more widely. Currently, the concept of photo art has been widely used by photographers or photo artists through the development of new ideas and concepts in the form of photographic works. Fine art photography can be an assessment and representation for the photographer who created the photograph. Therefore, the time has come for photographers who may or may not have unique characteristics in creating photographic works, to make photographs into works of art with a combination of new concepts in photographic work.
