Abstract

Someone who can speak a foreign language is likely to do pragmatic transfer. The pragmatic transfer is when a speaker applies the social and cultural norms of his first language when using a second language (Sofwan, 2014; Saleem et al., 2020; Bu, 2022). This research analyzes the phenomenon of Javanese pragmatic transfer in the English exclamation of a YouTuber named Jang Hansol on his channel "Korea Reomit." It aims to identify the types of pragmatic transfer using Kasper's theory (1992) and the function of the exclamation uttered by Jang Hansol using Ameka's theory (2006). This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The results of this study indicated that Jang Hansol had positive and negative pragmatic transfers in expressing exclamations in English. In the finding section, Jang Hansol did positive, pragmatic transfer more often than negative pragmatic transfer, twelve times and six times, respectively. It demonstrated that Javanese had an influence when Jang Hansol spoke English. Furthermore, the two languages have traits in common, and the hearer's awareness of the speaker's history helps them avoid misunderstanding. Apart from that, there are also various functions in the exclamation spoken by Jang Hansol. Of the eleven exclamations, nine exclamations function expressive, and others serve conative and phatic. The prominence of the expressive function in Jang Hansol's utterances is a result of his recent trip to Indonesia. Many new experiences fascinate him. As a result, exclamations having expressive roles are more common in this research.

Abstract

This research aimed to understand humor which is a linguistically creative language, especially in the realm of semantics, dimensions of meaning; homonyms, and polysemy. Moreover, the trend of new language and terms among Twitter X residents has emerged recently due to the COVID19 pandemic, leading people spend their time on social media for social criticism, expressing sadness, or simply for entertainment. As the main theory of this research, Murphy’s theory (2010) related to lexical ambiguity; including homonymy homograph, homophone, homonymy absolute, and polysemy, also Leech’s theory (1981) related to semantic meaning; including conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflected, collocative, and thematic meaning, were used to analyze the data. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach in this study. The result shows that homonymy is the one of lexical ambiguity that occurs more often than polysemy in phenomena of language that contain humor. Absolute homonymy is the most common type of homonymy, followed by homophones, then homographs which are the rarest. The results revealed there are quite a lot of funny tweets containing lexical ambiguity on Twitter X, which can make people who read confused or misinterpret the true meaning, intent, and motif.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the form and function of sarcastic comments contained in the CNBC Television Channel comment section, so that the results of the study can solve the phenomenon of a possible global recession in 2023 and provide a broader understanding that sarcasm can make it easier for people to criticize an issue. The researcher only selected videos that discussed the potential 2023 global recession along with its causes and consequences. We used a quasi qualitative method. Although this method cannot be said to be qualitative, it still allows the effective use of theory as a research tool. The theory used is Elisabeth Camp's theory (2011) to determine the form of sarcasm and Gorys Keraf's theory (2010) to determine the function of sarcastic comments. The result of this research is that from 12 YouTube videos, there are 83 data consisting of 6 forms of propositional sarcasm, 48 forms of lexical sarcasm, 12 forms of prefix sarcasm, and 17 forms of illocutionary sarcasm. Then, from 10 functions of sarcastic comments, only 6 functions were found: rejection, conveying affirmation, conveying information, expressing opinions, and submitting questions. From the results, it shows that netizens explicitly show disagreement and prefer to express opinions based on the subjective truth of the party concerned in the video. Future researchers are suggested to explore variations in data and to dig deeper into the differences in the use of sarcasm based on age, gender, and cultural background.
