Abstract

Transitivity is one of the syntactical studies that is affected bymorphology. This article describes how transitivity is expressed andhow transitive are the verbs in the constructions of clauses in the BimaLanguage. Transitivity in the Bima Language is mostly expressed usingbasic verbs which can be syntactically used as verbs in clauses. Apartfrom this, prefix ka- with its variant ca- is used to derive transitive fromintransitive verbs and nonverbal categories. Meanwhile, particle kai andwea are used to derive ditransitive from transitive verbs. The transitivityof verbs in the Bima Language varies from one to another. Whether theverbs are said to have high or low transitive, it depends on how theyfulfill the transitive parameter (Hooper and Thompson, 1989). Form 10parameters of transitivity, there are four parameters which fit the BimaLanguage transitivity, such as participant (agents and patients),affectedness of patient, potency of agent, and volitionality. Theconstructions which are considered as high transitive is that if theconstructions use action verbs rather than state verbs and mental verbs.It is found out that action verbs can cause the agents of the clause totake control on the activities, can affect the patients, and intensively cancause the agent to do the activities expressed by the verbs deliberatelyand intensively.

Abstract

Language is one of the important things to communicate with others.People use language to show their emotions. There are five differentlanguage styles, frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casualstyle, and intimate style, which people can use to interact with others.People with different social cultures, ages, statuses, and gender mightuse different language styles. This study investigates James Cordon’sdifferent language style while interviewing his guest stars, James LeeCurtis, Dwayne Johnson, and Ed Sheeran, on The Late Late Show. Thestudy results show that James Corden used three different languagestyles: formal, casual, and consultative. As Jamie is older than James,he prefers to use formal language during the show. However, whileinterviewing Dwayne and Ed Sheeran, who are younger than James, heused different language styles, casual and consultative. The results ofthe study indicate that the age of the addressee considers the languagestyle preference.

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.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of research aimed at the acoustic andperceptual analysis of onset and coda clusters from standard Slovak thatviolate the principle of sonority. The research is based on Engstrandand Ericsdotter’s (1999) claim that clusters violating sonority areperceptually advantageous over those that follow the sonority principle.The analysis was carried out on a sample of test nonsense words withthe initial combinations /sp, st, sk/ and final combinations /ps, ts, ks/.The data were produced and evaluated by native Slovak languagespeakers. The results of the research support the assumption about theperceptual advantage of clusters that are not in accordance withsonority.
