Abstract

This article explores illocutionary acts within the "Hold On, It Hurts" Alternative Universe (AU) in the X application, utilizing Yule's theoretical framework as its foundation. The study focuses on how language, specifically illocutionary acts, creates and conveys meaning in this unique digital narrative space. Yule's theory also defines the classifications of speech acts, such as representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative, and serves as a lens to dissect and understand the intricacies of communication within the AU. The research primarily centers on the illocutionary acts, examining how the characters in the "Hold On, It Hurts" AU use language not just for literal communication but to perform various actions and express complex emotions. The study investigates the dynamics between the speaker and listener within the AU, highlighting how context, speaker intentions, and underlying emotional states are crucial in interpreting these acts.

Code-switching is a sociolinguistic phenomenon defined as the combination of two or more varieties, or codes used in the same utterance (Wardhaugh, 2006). This research focuses on analyzing the types of code-switching using Wardhaugh’s theory (2006) and analyzing the function of code-switching using Gumperz’s theory (1982). The research investigates TikTok videos from the account, in which the focus of the content is on education, especially English learning. The method used in this study is the descriptive qualitative method. The researchers employed the observation method using the checklist. The results of the study show that 2 types of code-switching and only 5 of 6 functions of code-switching were found.

Users of the Tinder dating application also have the desire to locate a companion by playing this app. The speech act utilized serves as a criterion for the conversation's success. The goal of this study is to categorize the many forms of illocutionary phrases used by Tinder users, as well as how speech acts affect the maintenance of relationships. As a result, this research approach is qualitative descriptive research, as the data used is Tinder users' speech acts in establishing communication. Data was collected from a sample of 15 Tinder users by direct observation and reading their discussions with members of the opposite sex. The data was then divided into five sorts of illocutionary speech acts based on Shearly's Theory: directive, expressive, representational, declaration, and commissive. The following analytical data was collected through direct interviews with Tinder users, who provided reasons for employing these speech actions in their effective conversation.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to look at how Taylor Swift uses figurative language in her song All Too Well (10 Minutes Version). The primary purpose of this study is to discover the meaning behind the figurative language used in song lyrics. A descriptive qualitative method was used to collect the data. There are various kinds of figurative language applied to express meaning in the song, but the writer only focuses on two of them, namely personification and simile. To summarize the analysis, the song's figurative language, which draws on personification and simile, creates an effective tool for portraying the story's deep and sensitive emotions, such as sense of loss, emptiness, and sadness.

Abstract

The exploration of literature transcends the boundaries of written texts, encompassing a diverse array of expressions, including spoken or sung compositions like song lyrics. While on the surface, songs may seem to convey straightforward messages, beneath it lies a labyrinth of symbols and nuances that beckon listeners to interpret. This interpretive process demands a nuanced understanding and a willingness to explore the depths of lyrical expression. This research aims to unravel the significance of each letter in the word "RHODESIA" and to unravel the intricate composition of the portmanteau "Rhodesian" within the lyrics of John Edmond's ‘The Last Word in Rhodesian’ song using Ferdinand de Saussure's dyadic model of semiosis and employing qualitative research methodology with historical approach. Through meticulous analysis, the findings reveal the profound symbolism interwoven within the lyrics, which serves to encapsulate the historical essence of Rhodesia. The songwriter adeptly utilizes the arrangement of each letter in the word "RHODESIA" to encapsulate phrases emblematic of the Rhodesian Bush War and alluding to the names of significant Rhodesian figures; Rhodes and Ian, symbolically forming the word “Rhodesian”. In doing so, the song becomes a poignant tribute to the complex tapestry of Rhodesian history.
