This research aims to determine the function of language in a live broadcast video of an online seller on TikTok. The qualitative descriptive method was employed to describe each language function observed in the live video broadcasts of online sellers on TikTok. Data collection involved watching and observing the phenomenon of online sellers on the TikTok platform. This process involves several stages. Data analysis: Data reduction is carried out after the data is collected. The research results showed that there are four language functions that online sellers often use on the TikTok media platform: emotive functions, cognitive functions, referential functions, and metalinguistic functions. This language function influences the phenomenon of online sellers on TikTok by providing information about the goods being sold and influencing the audience to buy.

Abstract

This research delves into the anxiety experience of Cath, the central protagonist in Rainbow Rowell’s novel “Fangirl.” The study addresses to investigate three key issues: the symptoms of Cath’s anxiety, its underlying causes, and its effects. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s literary psychology theory, this qualitative research aims to explore Cath’s anxiety journey. The primary source of information is the novel “Fangirl” itself. Employing techniques such as textual analysis, note-taking, keyword identification, and data collection. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of Cath’s psychological landscape. The research reveals that Cath encounters two prominent anxiety symptoms. Firstly, she experiences panic disorder upon her initial move to the hostel, where she encounters a male student in what should be an exclusively female dormitory. Secondly, stress disorder emerges as a result of her twin sister’s renewed connection with their mother, prompting Cath to confront her past. Cath’s anxiety roots itself in familial circumstances, encompassing her parents’ divorce, her father’s illness, and the strained relationship with her twin sister, Wren. This familial dynamic contributes to Cath’s dependency and introverted tendencies. The implications of Cath’s anxiety are far-reaching. The negative impact of her anxiety is manifested in her reliance on her twin sister, hindering her personal growth and self-reliance. By applying Sigmund Freud’s literary psychology theory, the research provides insights into the symptoms, causes, and effects of Cath’s anxiety. This analysis underscores the significance of understanding literary characters’ psychological experiences and their broader implications for personal growth and relationships.

Abstract

The study “Conceptual Metaphor in Bublé’s Call Me Irresponsible Album” explores how metaphors in song lyrics can complicate understanding. This research categorizes and analyzes metaphor types found in Michael Bublé’s album, specifically focusing on 13 songs such as “The Best Is Yet to Come,” “Everything,” and “That’s Life.” Lyrics were sourced from Genius.com, and a descriptive qualitative approach guided by Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory was employed. Three main types of conceptual metaphors structural, orientational, and ontological were identified in the analysis. Structural metaphors (56 instances), orientational metaphors (42 instances), and ontological metaphors (39 instances) were found to compare different concepts, often relating to themes of love and relationships. These metaphors contribute connotative, affective, and social meanings to the lyrics, influencing interpretations. The study highlights the importance of metaphor analysis in understanding how metaphors enrich song lyrics but also pose challenges in interpretation. By systematically categorizing and scrutinizing metaphors, this research enhances our comprehension of the nuanced meanings embedded in Bublé’s music, shedding light on the intricate interplay between language, metaphor, and thematic content in popular music.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the investigation report (BAP) by using forensic linguistics study. This study employs a qualitative approach to analyze the BAP. The primary data used consist of two copies obtained from the Regional Police Department of Southeast Sulawesi. The results show that total of 26 productive questions and 4 non-productive questions were found. The most dominant type of question used in the interrogation of the criminal case of insulting the Tolaki ethnic group is the productive closed question type, with 15 occurrences, representing approximately 46.6 percent. In addition, there were six types of presuppositions were identified as correlating with all speech events. These include existential presupposition, factual presupposition, lexical presupposition, structural presupposition, non-factual presupposition, and temporal clause presupposition. The most dominant type of presupposition found was structural presupposition, with a total of 13 occurrences. These research findings affirm that forensic linguistics plays a strategic role in evaluating the quality of investigative examinations and the evidentiary strength of the BAP. The analysis of question types and presuppositions demonstrates that language is not merely a means of communication, but a legal instrument that can influence the validity of a suspect’s statements. Accordingly, the application of forensic linguistic principles enables an objective assessment of whether a BAP is produced through examination procedures that are fair, non-misleading, and consistent with legal standards of proof.

Abstract

In international tourism hubs such as Bali, bilingual or multilingual sign boards help ensure that foreign tourists can understand public information, navigate spaces safely, and engage meaningfully with their environments. This research investigates the translation techniques used, and the types of equivalence applied in translating Sign Board in tourist areas in Bali. The research employs qualitative descriptive method. A total of 45 sign boards were analyzed in this study. The results show that in using LT, translators tend to retain the structure and lexical meaning of the source language directly into the target language. The dominance of the LT indicates that the translated texts are common public signs that are informative, concise, direct, and do not require denotative creativity. The language used on signboards typically consists of instructions, prohibitions, or directions, making semantic precision more important than stylistic considerations. In addition, some other data employ the CT technique, especially in longer texts, warnings, or messages that require greater clarity within the cultural context of the target audience. The WFW technique appears only in very simple terms, whereas FT is used for texts that require more flexible meaning adaptation. Then, DE is the most dominant technique, accounting for approximately 75.5% of the total data. The dominance of DE indicates that the translator prioritizes naturalness, readability, and the effectiveness of the message for English readers. Conversely, FE is used in more technical contexts or when the source language structure can be preserved without affecting the meaning.

Abstract

This study analyzes how deixis influenced Joe Biden’s 2024 speech regarding Donald Trump’s electoral victory. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method. Joe Biden’s statement after Donald Trump’s election is important because it had major social and political significance and drew global attention, especially from his linguistic choices. Deictic expressions such as “I,” “you,” “here,” “now,” and “this” derive their meanings entirely on the contextual perspectives of the speaker and listener. The study seeks to ascertain the function of deixis in the context of political speech. The information was gathered from the whole official transcript of American Rhetoric after viewing the speech on the YouTube channel of ABC 7 Chicago.  Levinson’s (2001) theory was applied to the transcript in order to identify, categorize, and count all deictic words. The results show that there are five deixis types are identified: person (62.2%), spatial (14.2%), temporal (7.2%), social (10%), and discourse (6.4%). While geographical and social deixis assist tie Biden’s message to actual surroundings and convey respect, the dominance of person deixis shows his attempt to foster unity and intimacy with the audience.  In addition to serving as a resource for upcoming linguistic research of political speeches, this study advances our knowledge of how deixis works as a strategic and persuasive instrument in political communication. These findings confirm that deixis plays a vital role in political speech by influencing public perception, improving rhetorical coherence, and bolstering a leader’s identity and authority.
