Abstract

This study aims to identify and compare the word formation processes found in the Archipelago and Politics sections of The Jakarta Post based on George Yule’s (2010) theory. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to analyze data collected from six online news articles published in 2025, consisting of three articles from each section. The findings show that several word formation processes were used in both sections, including borrowing, compounding, blending, conversion, acronym, derivation, and multiple processes. A total of 118 word formation items were found in the Politics section and 116 items in the Archipelago section. Among all types, derivation was the most dominant process, accounting for 46.61% of the data in Politics articles and 79.31% in Archipelago articles. The Politics section contained more acronyms, compounds, and conversions, while the Archipelago section relied more heavily on derivational forms. The study concludes that different news sections tend to use different linguistic patterns depending on their topics and communicative purposes. These findings contribute to the understanding of morphology, particularly the use of word formation processes in media texts.

Abstract

This study analyzes connotative meaning in selected songs from Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine album using Geoffrey Leech’s theory. The research aims to identify the types, functions, and characteristics of connotative meaning found in the lyrics. A qualitative descriptive method was employed. The data consisted of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing connotative meanings from seven selected songs. The findings reveal three types of connotative meaning: positive (30 data), negative (35 data), and neutral (14 data). Negative connotation was the most dominant type, reflecting themes of heartbreak, emotional conflict, and insecurity. The dominant function was conveying emotion (27 data), while the most frequent characteristics were associative and subjective meanings (19 data each). The study concludes that connotative meaning plays a significant role in enriching the emotional and artistic quality of the album’s lyrics.

Abstract

This study analyzes mood and speech function in three speeches delivered by Angelina Jolie on gender equality and human rights using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. The research aims to identify mood types, speech functions, and their congruent and incongruent uses. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with 227 clauses analyzed at the clause level. The findings show that declarative mood is dominant (225), while interrogative and imperative appear only once. Statements are the most frequent speech function (179), followed by commands (37), offers (10), and questions (1). A total of 181 clauses are congruent and 46 incongruent. The study concludes that declarative forms are used strategically to convey messages in a direct, persuasive, and diplomatic manner.
