Abstract

This study examined the role of mobile-based language learning applications, particularly Duolingo, in supporting self-directed English language learning. Using a qualitative approach through literature review, this research analyzed various academic studies published between 2018 and 2024 that focused on the effectiveness of Duolingo in improving vocabulary, grammar, and learning motivation. The results indicated that Duolingo helped learners develop consistent study habits and fostered autonomy through its gamified features. In addition, the app offered a flexible and engaging learning environment. However, limitations were found in speaking skill development and social interaction, which the application did not fully support. Overall, Duolingo serves as a useful supplementary tool in learning English, but it should be combined with other methods for more comprehensive outcomes.

Abstract

This research explores how figurative language shapes the depth of emotion and psychology in the poem Mirror by Sylvia Plath. Through a qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research aims to identify the types of figures of speech used and explain how these elements convey the lyricist's inner conflicts related to identity, aging, and self-perception. The analysis shows that Plath consciously uses personification, metaphor, simile, and symbolism to build a reflective and emotionally charged atmosphere. The mirror in this poem is not just an inanimate object, but is present as a conscious observer who speaks, judges, and becomes a silent witness to the aging process and identity crisis of the female character. Through metaphorical and symbolic imagery, the mirror transforms into an inner lake-space that reflects the search for self. The poem closes with an evocative simile, describing the deep fear of realizing one's fading youth. This study shows that Plath's use of similes is not only to embellish the poem, but as an important channel to express fears and emotional vulnerabilities that are often difficult to verbalize. The findings are expected to enrich literary discussions on how poetic language can reveal the complexity of human experience with clarity and intensity.

Abstract

The present study aims to identify and analyze idiomatic expressions in the lyrics of “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys. Idioms are non-literal expressions that often cause difficulty for English learners due to their figurative nature. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a focus on semantic and contextual analysis based on the theories of Palmer (2007), Larson (2010), and Halliday (2014). The results indicate that the song contains several idiomatic expressions that reflect emotional states such as longing, regret, and insecurity. These findings suggest that song lyrics can serve as effective, authentic, and engaging media for learning idioms in EFL contexts. The study also highlights the pedagogical and cultural implications of using popular songs as teaching materials.

Abstract

This study investigates the metaphorical expressions in the song Golden Hour by JVKE using Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) by Lakoff and Johnson (1980). The research aims to identify and analyze metaphors that represent emotional experiences, particularly romantic feelings, through the use of concrete and sensory imagery. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the lyrics of Golden Hour were analyzed to uncover how metaphorical language shapes the expression of love and emotional transitions. The findings reveal several dominant metaphor categories such as LOVE IS LIGHT, LOVE IS A JOURNEY, and EMOTION IS ELEVATION. These metaphors transform abstract emotions into vivid, relatable experiences by linking them to concepts like time, nature, and movement. The study concludes that metaphor in song lyrics functions as a cognitive and poetic device that enhances meaning and emotional resonance. The implications of this research highlight the relevance of metaphor analysis in understanding language, thought, and culture, especially in modern musical texts.

Abstract

This research investigates the semantic expression of romantic bliss in Taylor Swift’s song “Lover,” emphasizing how language conveys emotional intimacy and idealized love. The study is based on Geoffrey Leech’s (1981) theory of meaning, focusing on three aspects: conceptual meaning, connotative meaning, and affective meaning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyze selected parts of the lyrics. The findings reveal that Swift expresses emotional connections and her ideal of love through metaphorical language and symbolic expressions. Lyrics such as "We could leave the Christmas lights up until January" and "You're my, my, my, my lover" highlight how ordinary events become important emblems of emotional connection and romantic harmony. According to the study, Taylor Swift's "Lover" is a useful tool for semantic investigation as well as a well-liked love song. By her choice of words, Swift creates a lyrical rendering of love that resonates with audiences, thereby emphasizing how language can effectively convey emotional experiences.

Abstract

This research analyzes the translation strategies applied in the Indonesian version of the song "What Else Can I Do?" from Disney's animated film Encanto (2021). Using Peter Newmark’s translation theory, the study compares 26 selected lines from the original English lyrics with their Indonesian translations, focusing on four methods: literal, faithful, free, and communicative translation. The analysis, conducted through a qualitative descriptive approach, reveals that each method was strategically applied depending on the content and context of each line, aiming to maintain meaning, rhythm, and emotional impact. The results highlight the complexity of song translation, particularly the balance between linguistic accuracy and cultural adaptation in audiovisual media.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of compound words, focusing on their types, structures, and functions in enriching linguistic expressions. Compound words are formed by combining two or more words into a single unit, creating a new meaning distinct from their individual components. This research categorizes compound words into compound verbs, compound adjectives, and compound nouns, analyzing their structures and roles in communication. Examples include verb-verb combinations like "stir-fry," noun-verb structures such as "hand-wash," and noun-noun formations like "toothpaste."By simplifying complex ideas, compound words enhance linguistic precision and efficiency, especially in academic and technical contexts. The study identifies common patterns in forming compound words and explores their role in reflecting cultural and linguistic nuances. For instance, compound adjectives like "coal-black" and compound nouns like "brother-in-law" illustrate the dynamic interplay of grammar and meaning.Findings suggest that compound words not only streamline communication but also adapt to cultural and contextual needs, enriching vocabulary through creative linguistic processes. Future research could investigate how compound word usage varies across languages and disciplines, highlighting their significance in global communication.

Abstract

This study examines the translation techniques in Indonesian subtitles of Interstellar (2014), applying Vinay and Darbelnet's framework. Through a qualitative descriptive analysis of 1,903 English-Indonesian subtitle pairs from Google TV, the research identifies the distribution patterns of seven translation procedures: borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. Results indicate literal translation dominates with 636 instances (33.42%), followed by modulation (489 cases, 25.70%) and transposition (362 cases, 19.02%). Borrowing accounts for 247 cases (12.98%), while equivalence, adaptation, and calque represent 3.57%, 2.84%, and 2.47%, respectively. The nearly balanced use of direct techniques (48.87%) and oblique techniques (51.13%) demonstrates strategic approaches in professional translation. The predominance of literal translation suggests structural compatibility between English and Indonesian, while significant modulation and transposition usage reveal necessary adaptations for cultural and linguistic differences. Technical terminology often favors borrowing, and cultural references require adaptation. This research provides empirical evidence for professional audiovisual translation practices.
