Abstract

This study explores how popular culture is reflected in the songs Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift, Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish, and Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo. The research aims to identify which social trends are depicted in these songs and analyze their similarities and differences in reflecting societal concerns. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study applies the framework of T.A. Writer, which identifies six key social trends in modern society: mental health awareness and reducing stigma, redefining family and relationships, digital detox and mindful technology use, individual activism and social responsibility, sustainable and ethical consumerism, and shifting work culture to remote and hybrid models. The findings reveal that not all six social trends are present in the selected songs. Each song reflects different aspects of societal change, with mental health issues and redefining relationships emerging as the most prominent themes. While Anti-Hero focuses on self-perception and emotional struggles, Happier Than Ever portrays personal growth after a toxic relationship, and Traitor reflects betrayal and emotional turmoil. The analysis highlights how pop music serves as a mirror of contemporary issues, particularly in the realms of mental health and interpersonal relationships. These songs resonate with audiences by providing an emotional connection to real-life struggles, reinforcing the role of music in shaping and reflecting cultural narratives. This research contributes to the understanding of music as an expression of social change and personal identity. Keywords: pop culture, song lyric, social trends

Abstract

Abstract News about the bullying of women is a serious issue that affects the emotional and psychological well-being of victims and can even lead to tragic deaths. However, media coverage is not always objective due to biases in how news is structured and presented. The media frames these cases by emphasizing certain aspects through word choice, narratives, visuals, and perspectives that shape audience understanding. Bias in news framing can influence public opinion and reinforce gender stereotypes. This study analyzes six news reports on the bullying of women in the digital media platform detik.com in 2024 using a qualitative descriptive method and a critical discourse analysis approach based on content analysis. Utilizing Sara Mills' theory, the analysis focuses on three aspects: subject-object positioning, gender roles, and socio-cultural context. The media often reinforces patriarchal dominance by portraying women as passive objects while men are positioned as dominant subjects who control the narrative. This representation reflects the structure of patriarchal power in society, where men have greater control over social discourse, including in the media. As a result, gender inequality continues to be reproduced, positioning women as victims who lose their agency and weakening their ability to confront bullying. Keywords: framing, gender, bullying, digital mass media.

Abstract

Fenomena game streaming di Indonesia, terutama melalui platform YouTube, memiliki segmentasi penggemar besar dengan tokoh kreator seperti Jess No Limit dan Frost Diamond yang memiliki jutaan pengikut. Para kreator ini sering menggunakan bahasa santai yang cenderung melanggar prinsip kesantunan berbahasa. Namun, ketidaksantunan ini diterima oleh audiens mereka sebagai bagian dari hiburan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bentuk-bentuk ketidaksantunan dalam tuturan para game streamer yang justru menjadi teknik komunikasi yang berterima dalam komunitas online. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis pragmatik. Adapun sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah tuturan pada video streaming dari Jess No Limit dan Frost Diamond. Analisis data dilakukan dengan merujuk pada 10 prinsip kesantunan Leech untuk mengidentifikasi pelanggaran terhadap prinsip-prinsip kesantunan dalam komunikasi. Hasil penelitian menuunjukkan bahwa dalam konten game streaming di YouTube, ketidaksantunan yang melanggar prinsip kesantunan diterima sebagai bagian dari hiburan dan interaksi sosial yang membangun kedekatan antara kreator dan audiens. Penerimaan ini terjadi karena adanya kesepakatan sosial dalam komunitas game yang menganggap bahasa kasar, umpatan, panggilan kasar, dan ejekan sebagai humor. Meskipun demikian, kreator perlu bijak dalam menggunakan ketidaksantunan untuk menjaga keharmonisan komunikasi dan meminimalkan dampak negatif terhadap hubungan sosial.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the intertextuality between Elizabeth Barrett Browning's “How Do I Love Thee?” and Robert Browning's “Meeting at Night”. The focus of the present research are on how the two texts interact with one another in terms of style, theme, and linguistic structure. The study combines qualitative and descriptive methodologies, combined with Julia Kristeva's intertextual analysis. In relation to the research's findings, the intertextual relationship between the two poems not only deepens our comprehension of each author's work but also presents the dynamics of the personal and creative relationship between them. By using intertext theory by Kristeva, researchers found that both poems use transpositions to explore various interpretations and experiences of love, reflecting the poets’ individual styles and cultural contexts. In hypogram, Barrett Browning uses linguistic structures such as anaphora, repetition, and abstract language to create a contemplative atmosphere, emphasizing love's sacred nature. Therefore, this research does not only offer fresh perspectives on how the Brownings discussed their private lives but also cultivates a creative conversation that enhanced Victorian English literature's portrayal of love. It is anticipated that this research will further our understanding of how love is socially and culturally constructed in literary works and advance the field of inter-textual research.

Abstract

Abstract This study explores the linguistic representation of intrusive thoughts in the film Turtles All the Way Down, focusing on how language reflects the main character Aza Holmes’s experience of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The research aims to identify how repetition, interruption, and metaphor function as linguistic signs of anxiety and self-fragmentation. Using a qualitative descriptive method, selected dialogues and inner monologues from the film script were analyzed through James Paul Gee’s discourse analysis framework, which views language as a form of social action and identity construction. The findings show that repetition expresses Aza’s compulsive thought cycles, interruption reflects the intrusion of anxiety into social communication, and metaphor—particularly those involving bacteria, infection, and parasites—externalizes her fear and loss of control. These linguistic features reveal a constant tension between Aza’s inner discourse and her outward social interaction. The study concludes that Turtles All the Way Down portrays OCD not only as a psychological condition but also as a discursive experience, where language becomes both a symptom and a means of recovery. Keywords: Intrusive Narrative, Mental Health, Discourse Pattern

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection of corpus stylistics and semiotic theory as an integrated methodological framework for interpreting postcolonial Malay literature. Focusing on Shahnon Ahmad’s novels Sampah (1974) and Tivi (1995), the research combines quantitative corpus technique such as keyword analysis, collocation mapping, and concordance inspection with qualitative semiotic interpretation to reveal how stylistic patterns encode ideological meanings of identity and moral decay in postcolonial Malaysia. Results indicate prominent lexical clusters of contamination and decay, recurrent religious-moral binaries and the media as a sign of cultural colonization. Semiotic analysis shows these patterns function as signs that both diagnose and resist the cultural consequences of modernity. The study argues that corpus stylistics, when coupled with semiotics, offers a robust model for empirically grounded yet culturally sensitive readings of postcolonial texts, enriching theoretical debates in postcolonial stylistics and digital humanities.

Abstract

This research article aims to identify the implementation of Rebo Wekasan and explain the meaning of the Rebo Wekasan tradition for the society of Tugu Selatan Village, Cisarua District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province. The method used was qualitative. The data was collected by using interviews and Palmer's (1996) cultural semantic approach with four aspects of meaning, namely sense, feeling, tone, and intention, in the data analysis process. The informants who were involved included the society, religious leaders, and the Rebo Wekasan event committee of Desa Tugu Selatan. The results show that in terms of sense, Rebo Wekasan is interpreted as an economic innovation to support MSMEs, a symbol of gratitude and mutual cooperation, and a form of togetherness. In terms of feeling, the villagers feel happy because they can strengthen their friendship. The tone aspect is reflected in the friendly, intimate, communicative and religious atmosphere during the event. In terms of intention, this activity aims to preserve customs, strengthen relationships and solidarity, and provide cultural education for future generations. Thus, Rebo Wekasan is not only a ritual to ward off evil, but also a dynamic and adaptive local tradition.

Abstract

Language in literary works serves not only as a tool for conveying messages and storytelling, but also as a medium of representation (a symbolic space) that shapes the identities of characters, social relations, and narrative dynamics. This research aims to analyse language styles used by the characters in Small Things Like These, a novel by Claire Keegan. The analysis is based on the five language styles proposed by Martin Joos: Frozen Style, Formal Style, Consultative Style, Casual Style, and Intimate Style. In addition, the researcher employs Janet Holmes”s theory to investigate how social factors, including participants, setting, topic, and function, influence the language styles chosen by the characters. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected by reading the novel and identifying utterances that reflect specific language styles. The researcher focused on conversations that illustrate shifts in style due to social relationships and emotional context. The findings show that all five language styles appear, with Casual Style being the most dominant (111), followed by Intimate (22), Consultative (17), Formal (11), and Frozen (4). These variations reflect the influence of social roles, emotional distance, power, and solidarity throughout the narrative, and depend on the language”s formality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and frequency of word formation processes found in Tempo’s national English articles following the passing of the Indonesian Military Law amendments. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using George Yule’s (2023) theory of word formation as the main framework. The data consist of five online national news articles published by Tempo between March 20th and March 27th, 2025. The analysis reveals that six types of word formation processes appear in the articles, namely borrowing, derivation, multiple processes, compounding, conversion, and initialism. Borrowing is found to be the most dominant type with 11 data, followed by 7 data as derivation, 3 data as multiple processes, 2 data as compounding, 2 data as conversion, and 1 data as initialism. The findings show that borrowing plays a significant role as the most productive word formation process in the articles, indicating that many English words used in news media come from other languages. Moreover, the study highlights that not all word formation types consistently appear, and a few words could not be categorized into any existing morphological process. These findings underline the importance of borrowing in shaping the English vocabulary in Indonesian journalistic contexts.
