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 investigates the psychological dimensions of the main character in the film Shadow and Bone using Bernhardt’s (1953) theory of human motivation. The analysis focuses on five key motivational categories: organic needs, desire, emotions as motives, feelings and attitudes as motives, and social motives. Through qualitative descriptive methods, 24 instances of psychological motivation were identified from the film. The findings indicate that desire-related motivations (33.3%) and organic needs (29.1%) are most dominant in shaping the character of Alina, the protagonist. These motivations are closely tied to Alina’s experiences of personal conflict, social rejection, and emotional struggle, which drive her actions and development throughout the narrative. The study highlights how cinematic characters can serve as complex psychological representations, enriching narrative depth and enhancing audience empathy. This research contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse between psychology, literature, and film studies, emphasizing the importance of psychological realism in character construction.

Abstract

This study investigates the psychological dimensions of human behavior as depicted in the film All Is Lost, directed by J.C. Chandor. Focusing on the main character, the research aims to examine behavioral patterns and uncover underlying psychological aspects presented throughout the narrative. The analysis is based on Sigmund Freud’s Semium (2006) theory of defense mechanisms and personality structure, as well as Anna Freud’s (1936) elaboration on defense mechanisms. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through careful observation of scenes and note-taking techniques. The findings reveal four distinct psychological aspects portrayed by the protagonist, with the survival instinct emerging as the most dominant. This study highlights how cinematic representation can reflect complex psychological processes in extreme conditions.

Abstract

This study explores the diverse types of characters depicted in The Adam Project movie using the characterization frameworks proposed by Nurgiyantoro (2010) and Pope (2005). Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies and categorizes six main characters-Adam Reed, young Adam Reed, Laura Shane, Louis Reed, Ellie Reed, and Maya Sorian-based on their roles and character traits. The findings reveal that protagonist characters dominate the film, followed by various character types such as major, minor, simple, dynamic, round, static, and antagonist roles. Each character’s classification is supported by specific scenes and dialogue extracted from the film and its transcript. The study demonstrates how character types contribute significantly to narrative development and provides a framework for analyzing character roles in cinematic storytelling. This analysis is expected to enhance understanding of character construction in film studies and serve as a reference for future character-based literary research.

Abstract

Advertisements are an effort of the company to attract the customer’s attention by using attractive colours, words, pictures, and so on. Hopefully, the product that they sell will be better known by the people. This study presents the verbal and non-verbal signs contained in the Starbucks advertisement. Besides presenting verbal and non-verbal signs, this study also explains the meaning of the verbal and non-verbal signs. Two Starbucks advertisements were used as data sources. The data source has been taken from the internet. The theory used in this study is the theory of semiotics that was proposed by Saussure (1983) to describe verbal and non-verbal signs. The theory proposed by Barthes (1977) to analyse the meaning of verbal and non-verbal signs and the supporting theory of the meaning of colours was proposed by Wierzbicka (1996). As a result, the writer found six (6) verbal signs and six (6) non-verbal signs in this Starbucks advertisement.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of figurative language in Adele’s album 30 and Avril Lavigne’s album The Best Damn Thing. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the types of figurative language found in each song of both albums, and (2) to analyze the most dominantly used figurative language in each album and interpret its meaning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using all songs from the two albums as data sources. The findings reveal that Adele’s 30 features eight types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, metonymy, symbol, paradox, hyperbole, and understatement. In contrast, Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing contains four types: simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Hyperbole emerges as the most dominantly used figurative language in both albums. These findings suggest that hyperbolic expressions play a central role in conveying emotional intensity and artistic expression in contemporary pop music.

Abstract

The ability of people to communicate with others using a variety of codes or languages in the related issue being talked about is well-known as code-switching. This study aims to determine how many different sorts of reasons for code-switching are utilized by the judges in “Indonesia’s Next Top Model Season 1” program on NET TV.

Abstract

The meaning of hate speech in social media can shift because the way people use social media is constantly changing, and the social and political context in which social media is used can also change. This study aims to analyze hate speech comments on Instagram and the meaning and relevance of the implicature to forensic linguistics. This research employs a qualitative approach to collect and analyze the meaning of hate speech. The research data was obtained from Instagram through hashtag searches. The main findings of this study indicate that hate speech on social media tends to avoid direct vulgar linguistic forms and instead relies on implicit language strategies to convey negative sentiments towards individuals or groups. There is widespread use of diminutives such as “bocah” or “bocil,” social stigmatization such as “ndeso” and “bau kencur,” and institutional euphemisms such as “makkamah keluarga,” all of which are important linguistic indicators in the analysis of political hatred in the digital space. The intensity classification shows that hate speech with moderate and severe intensity does not only come from explicit insults but also from narratives that normalize harassment based on age, appearance, and political affiliation. The implications of this study indicate that a forensic linguistic approach is very effective in uncovering forms of hate speech disguised through language strategies such as sarcasm, stereotypes, and euphemisms. Theoretically, these findings enrich the study of pragmatic linguistics and speech acts by showing the importance of implicature analysis in detecting non-explicit hate intentions.
