Abstract

This study examines the semiotic meanings in Michael Jackson’s music videos Leave Me Alone, Earth Song, and Heal the World using Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory of the signifier and the signified. Through a qualitative descriptive method, the research analyzes lyrics and visual elements to uncover symbolic messages related to media criticism, environmental issues, and global unity. The findings reveal that each video conveys powerful social and emotional narratives: Leave Me Alone critiques celebrity culture, Earth Song protests environmental destruction, and Heal the World promotes peace and compassion. These videos function as visual texts that reflect social realities and serve as tools for cultural communication.

Abstract

This article analyzes nonverbal communication in the drama performance of Timun Emas at the Children's Forum (FASTi) in East Sambirejo. The aim is to understand how nonverbal expressions such as gestures, facial expressions, posture, eye contact, and intonation contribute to the delivery of moral messages to children aged 10–18. Using qualitative descriptive methods, the data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings suggest that nonverbal communication effectively supports children's understanding of the storyline and values such as courage, compassion, and creativity. This study highlights the educational potential of drama through nonverbal cues as a medium for character building.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the semiotic elements in Rupi Kaur’s poetry collection Milk and Honey by applying Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory. The objectives of the study are to identify the signifiers and the signifieds in ten selected poems and to explain the messages conveyed through their interaction. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method combined with content analysis to examine how meaning is constructed through the relationship between visual illustrations and poetic texts. The data were collected using literature study and purposive sampling. Ten poems were selected based on their thematic representation across the four main sections of the book: The Hurting, The Loving, The Breaking, and The Healing. The findings reveal that each poem contains unique visual and verbal sign systems that reflect emotional experiences, identity, trauma, love, and personal growth. The interaction between signifier and signified in each poem contributes to the overall meaning and message, illustrating the depth and complexity of the poet’s expression.

Abstract

This study examines the use of metaphor in Leony Jardine’s poetry collection The Moon and Her Secrets. The research focuses on how metaphors—particularly structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors as conceptualized by Lakoff and Johnson (2003)—are employed to reflect psychological conflicts, emotional depth, and identity struggles. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes selected poems through close reading, supported by Conceptual Metaphor Theory and a psychological literary approach. The findings reveal that Jardine consistently employs the moon as a central metaphor representing secrecy, vulnerability, and transformation. Ontological metaphors dominate, presenting emotions as concrete entities and allowing abstract experiences to be visualized. These results emphasize that Jardine’s poetry transforms metaphor into a primary medium for exploring inner conflict and self-discovery.

Abstract

This research explores how interpersonal meaning is constructed in the Islamic speeches of Zakir Naik by applying the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Within the context of ‘dakwah’, language operates not only as a channel for delivering religious knowledge but also as an interactive resource through which speakers establish authority, express conviction, and engage their audiences. As an internationally recognized Islamic preacher, Zakir Naik employs distinctive linguistic strategies that warrant systematic linguistic investigation. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach and examines selected transcripts of Zakir Naik’s public speeches. Analysis is conducted using the interpersonal metafunction of SFL, focusing specifically on the grammatical systems of mood. The clause is treated as the main unit of analysis, as it represents the primary locus of interpersonal meaning. Each clause is categorized based on its mood type. The result is declarative clauses are predominantly used, indicating a strong tendency toward asserting information and reinforcing religious authority.

Abstract

This study investigates politeness strategies in the anime series Pluto (2023), adapted from Naoki Urasawa’s reimagining of Tezuka’s Astro Boy. Grounded primarily in Leech’s (1983) Politeness Principle. The data were selected dialogue excerpts that explicitly reflected interpersonal negotiation, which were collected through documentary and note-taking techniques. Following Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s (2014) interactive model, the analysis was conducted through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Tact and Approbation maxims are the most dominant politeness strategies, likely because these maxims reduce potential face threats and promote positive interpersonal alignment, thereby foregrounding themes of empathy, ethical responsibility, and harmonious human–robot coexistence. Instances of politeness are strategically used to mitigate conflict, assert moral positioning, and construct emotional depth in character interactions. This study contributes to media pragmatics and anime linguistics by demonstrating how Leech’s maxim-based politeness model can illuminate ethical dimensions in animated discourse and expand cross-cultural politeness inquiry beyond Japanese honorific norms.

Abstract

This study analyzes the morphemic features found in five selected poems by Charlotte Brontë, namely Life, Stanzas, Parting, On the Death of Anne Brontë, and Regret. The study aims to determine how Brontë’s morphological structures contribute to meaning, rhythm, and stylistic character in her poetry. The analysis focuses on identifying free morphemes, bound morphemes, inflectional affixes, derivational affixes, and other word-formation processes. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method using textual documentation and morphemic analysis. The findings, based on an analysis of 1229 total morphemes across the five poems, reveal that all poems are dominated by emotional free morphemes and inflectional bound morphemes (-ing, -ed, -s). Thus, it is concluded that morphological structures play a significant role in shaping the aesthetic effect in Brontë’s poetic works, specifically by combining simple structural forms with expressive word formation.

Abstract

Arthur Miller’s Death of Salesman remains a seminal text in modern American drama, not merely for its narrative content but for its innovative use of dramatic style technique that mirror the protagonist’s psychological breakdown. While the play has been widely analyzed for its themes, less attention has been given to how its structure and style cause those themes to resonate with the audience. This study hypothesizes that Miller’s deliberate use of non-linear narrative (Flashback), expressionistic stage directions, and symbolic language serve as mechanisms to externalize Wily Loman’s mental deterioration and critique the American Dream. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive analytical design focused on close reading. The data source is the original 1949 script of Death of a Salesman. Key technique flashback. Stage direction, tone shifts are identified and analyzed using dramatology theory (Innes, 2000; Elam, 1980) and semiotic analysis (Barthes, 1967). Finding show that 70,6% of scene transitions employ non-linear shifts, especially flashbacks, correlating directly with moments of psychological tension. Dialogue analysis reveals 137 over symbolic references of failure and illusion. Stage direction demonstrate 276 unique-mood setting. Cues that enhance emotional atmosphere were identified 82.3%.
