Abstract

This study examines code-mixing as used by Agnez Mo and Daniel Mananta in the podcast Daniel Tetangga Kamu (Your Neighbor Daniel), specifically in the episode Go International, Agnez Mo Selalu Bangga Mewakili Indonesia (Go International, Agnez Mo is Always Proud to Represent Indonesia). The analysis is based on Muysken’s (2000) theory of types of code-mixing. The research was conducted qualitatively, supported by simple quantitative calculations. The findings show that both speakers employed all three types of code-mixing. Moreover, congruent lexicalization, as the most complex type, was dominantly used by both, indicating strong language skills in both Agnez Mo and Daniel Mananta. However, Agnez Mo used code-mixing more frequently than Daniel Mananta in the video. This difference is more likely due to unequal speaking opportunities, as one served as the host and the other as the guest. Overall, this study provides useful findings and discussions on the significant patterns of code-mixing used in the podcast Daniel Tetangga Kamu (Your Neighbor Daniel). Future researchers are encouraged to explore code-mixing on newer digital platforms that are increasingly popular among youth, such as TikTok. Lastly, they are advised to complement Muysken’s (2000) structural framework with additional theories that examine social relationship or interactional functions.

Abstract

This creative thesis tells the story of a daughter from a Chinese-Indonesian family who faces many struggles when she gets into an interracial relationship. The story is told through a screenplay in the genre of family drama and romance. This thesis also brings attention to the experiences of minority daughters in cross-cultural relationships, which is something that is rarely shown in Indonesian films. Using Murray Bowen’s Family Systems Theory (1966), the screenplay explores why the parents reject the relationship, what the daughter goes through because of it, and how she fights for their approval. The story shows that the parents’ rejection comes from their anxieties due to past traumas and cultural expectations, which leads to emotional tension, unresolved issues, and a broken relationship with their daughter. In the end, the thesis shows how the daughter stands up for her relationship by practicing differentiation of self while maintaining emotional independence and having honest conversations with her parents and with the help of her supportive partner.

Abstract

The study analyzes translation on meaning. It aims to examine the extent to which Google Translate can preserve meaning and find the most common errors created by Google Translate when translating English customer reviews into Bahasa Indonesia from fiction books on the Goodreads website. Further, when analyzing the data, the writer used Bowker (2023) theory of translation on meaning and a qualitative approach. The study shows that some data were error-free, and some revealed that translation errors were found, where Google Translate chose a slightly incorrect choice of vocabulary and a wrong choice of vocabulary, leading to an error in meaning. In addition, other errors were classified into two categories: vocabulary errors and translation technique errors. Moreover, the study reveals that the most common errors were failing to translate idiomatic expressions. The study concludes that the data showed more errors than error-free.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the literal and contextual meanings of Coca-Cola’s advertising slogans. This study uses a qualitative method. The writers collected and analyzed the literal and contextual meanings of Coca-Cola advertising slogans, focusing on how each slogan conveyed both literal and contextual meaning. The literal meaning was defined based on the denotative meaning of the words, while the contextual meaning was defined based on the major historical events that happened at the time of the slogan release. The findings show that Coca-Cola utilized their slogans not just as a promotional tool but also to reflect the socio-cultural, political, economic, and business contexts of the time. This study concludes that Coca-Cola has creatively used language to align itself with the situations of the time, which help strengthen the connection with their customers. This validates Coca-Cola’s claims on their website that their slogans were created to reflect the time.

Abstract

This study discusses the persuasive strategies used by Kohcun and Mami Louisse on TikTok Live, using the theory of persuasive strategies by Beebe and Beebe (2018). This qualitative study analyzes transcripts from TikTok Live. The persuasive strategies that were present were inductive reasoning, causal reasoning, credible evidence, new evidence, specific evidence, evidence for a diverse audience, concrete examples, emotion-arousing words, fear appeals, and appeal to emotion of hope. This study also discusses the similarities and differences. The findings reveal that some strategies were used by both affiliators, some were not used by either, and the rest was used by one of the two affiliators. Although both affiliators employed multiple strategies in one utterance, Kohcun used multiple strategies more frequently and used the emotion-arousing words differently. Finally, the two affiliators employed different strategy combinations. The outcome of this study shed a spotlight on effective persuasive strategies for TikTok Live.

Abstract

Survivor’s guilt is a psychological phenomenon that may occur when an individual survives a traumatic event while others are left injured or lose their lives. Although the concept has been around since the 20th century, it remains not widely acknowledged despite its serious consequences. Recognizing this underrepresentation, this thesis examines the long-term effects of survivor’s guilt as researched by Bistas and Grewal, and O'Connor, Berry, and Weiss. These effects are categorized into two main types: mental effects, which include obsessive thinking, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression; and social effects, such as interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, and social isolation. These issues are explored through a creative work in the form of a short story collection, featuring four characters from diverse backgrounds and ages. While the survivors’ experiences are also shaped by environmental responses, the effects significantly impact their mental state and their ability to form relationships in social settings.

Abstract

In this article, we analyze the abusive mother-daughter relationship in The Act (2019). The Act (2019) is a true crime drama series based on the real-life story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. The series tells the journey of Dee Dee’s physical and mental abuse, as well as her controlling behaviour toward Gypsy. In this analysis we focus on how Dee Dee treats Gypsy and why Gypsy responds to Dee Dee’s treatment in certain ways. We will use Nussbaum’s objectification theory to analyze Dee Dee’s treatment, and McClelland’s three social motive theory to explain Gypsy’s responses. The findings reveal that Dee Dee has the desire for power, recognition and wealth, while Gypsy has the need for independence and affiliation pushes her towards rebellious actions. This study concludes that a mother figure does have an impact on a child’s growth and development.

Abstract

This study analyzes the language styles used by Susi Pudjiastuti in her speech Menjaga Kekayaan Laut Indonesia and the social factors influencing the language styles. The writers used Keraf’s theory of language style (2009) to examine the word choice and sentence structure, and Holmes’ theory of social factors (2013). Employing a qualitative method, the study focused on the utterances containing language styles. The findings show that the most frequently used language style based on word choice was the conversational style. In terms of sentence structure, repetition and climax were the mostly used by Susi Pudjiastuti. These results suggest that social factors namely participant, topic, setting, and function played a role in shaping her language styles. Future research is encouraged to apply the full framework of Keraf (2009) to explore other forms of public communication.
