IDEATIONAL METAFUNCTION IN THE LYRICS OF "TIMELESS"BY THE WEEKND AND PLAYBOI CARTI
type: item
description: Abstract: This study aims to analyze the lyrics of the song "Timeless" by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti. The main focus is the ideational metafunction using the Transitivity system from Systemic Functional Linguistics. The song talks about wealth, power, and being timeless. This qualitative research analyzes the clauses in the lyrics to see how the singers show their real-life experiences. Furthermore, the transitivity system within the concept of Clause as Representation serves as a powerful analytical tool to examine how authors utilize participants, processes, and circumstances to shape readers' interpretations. The results show that Playboi Carti mostly uses Material Processes, which are action verbs, to show off his luxury and fast lifestyle. Meanwhile, The Weeknd uses Relational Processes, which are verbs of being, to prove that their greatness is permanent and will never fade away. Overall, these simple language choices help build a clear picture of their success and strong ego. Key words: ideational metafunction, transitivity, song lyrics, sfl, timeless.

POWER RELATIONS THROUGH SFL INTERPERSONAL METAFUNCTION IN CHERNOBYL SERIES DIALOGUE
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze how power relations are constructed through spoken language in the television miniseries Chernobyl (2019). Utilizing the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach developed by M.A.K. Halliday, with a particular focus on Interpersonal Metafunction, this study examines the systems of Mood and Modality in the characters’ dialogues. The main issue addressed is how characters with bureaucratic and military authority use specific grammatical choices to dominate conversations and exert pressure on their subordinates during the crisis. This descriptive qualitative study found that figures in power consistently used the imperative mood and high value modality to eliminate room for negotiation, which linguistically represented the hierarchical power structure of the Soviet Union at that time.

ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA PIERCE PADA POSTER UNJUK RASA WARGA TERKAIT SENGKETA PEMBAYARAN TANAH OLEH UNIVERSITAS PADJADJARAN
type: item
description: Unjuk rasa merupakan cara masyarakat untuk berekspresi, menyatakan sebuah tuntutan, anggapan atapun menyampaikan pesan. Media unjuk rasa yang kerap kali digunakan masyarakat sebagai usaha untuk menuangkan ekspresi adalah poster. Umumnya poster di desain lalu di publikasikan di berbagai media ataupun dicetak lalu ditempatkan diruang publik. Poster menjadi media paling ampuh untuk menyampaikan suatu pesan, karena poster memuat visual yang menarik dan pesan verbal yang sarat akan makna, tidak hanya unsur verbalnya saja yang memiliki makna, visual didalam poster pun sarat akan makna. maka dari itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami isi dan makna yang terdapat didalam poster unjuk rasa warga terkait sengketa pembayaran tanah oleh Universitas Padjadjaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Semiotika Charles Sanders Pierce yakni Ikon, Indeks dan simbol, karena Semiotika merupakan kajian ilmu yang memahami tanda dan juga makna pendekatan ini dinilai relevan untuk mengungkap makna yang terdapat didalam poster. Kemudian teori penelitian ini juga didukung oleh teori Kualitatif Deskriptif. Metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan ialah dengan mengambil gambar poster unjuk rasa warga yang terdapat dilingkungan Universitas Padjadjaran selanjutnya data yang telah diperoleh kemudian dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan yang relevan dengan Semiotika Pierce yakni Ikon, Indeks dan Simbol yang terkandung didalamnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan delapan data poster sebagai objek kajian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedelapan poster memuat tanda-tanda yang merepresentasikan penderitaan masyarakat, tuntutan atas hak kepemilikan tanah, kritik terhadap pihak yang berwenang, serta harapan akan terwujudnya keadilan. Melalui pendekatan Semiotika Pierce ditemukan bahwa setiap poster tidak hanya menyampaikan informasi mengenai sengketa tanah, tetapi juga membangun makna sosial berupa kritik terhadap ketimpangan kekuasaan dan lambannya penyelesaian konflik.

A PSYCHOANALYTIC OF RODERICK’S USHER MENTAL DETERIORATION
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the mental deterioration of the character Roderick in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Fall of the House of Usher using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. This character is depicted as experiencing mental deterioration, characterized by irrational fear, excessive anxiety, emotional instability, and difficulty distinguishing between reality and imagination. This study aims to analyze Roderick’s mental deterioration based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, which encompasses the id, ego, and superego. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using content analysis. The data source is the short story The Fall of the House of Usher, while the data consist of words, phrases, and sentences that depict the main character’s psychological condition. The results indicate that Roderick’s mental deterioration is caused by an imbalance between the id, ego, and superego. The dominance of the id is evident through the emergence of irrational fears and anxieties, while the ego fails to fulfill its function as a mediator between unconscious drives and reality. On the other hand, the superego intensifies the inner conflict through feelings of guilt and moral pressure, which further worsen his psychological condition. The interaction of these three aspects of personality causes Roderick to lose his mental stability, ultimately leading to psychological collapse by the end of the short story. Therefore, this study demonstrates that Freud’s psychoanalytic theory provides a comprehensive understanding of the personality conflict that is the primary cause of Roderick’s mental decline in the short story The Fall of the House of Usher

THE USE OF DEIXIS IN THE SHORT STORY A ROSE FOR EMILY: A PRAGMATIC STUDY
type: item
description: Abstract This study aims to analyze the use of deixis in William Faulkner's short story A Rose for Emily using a pragmatic approach. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data in the form of words, phrases, and clauses containing deixis elements in the short story text. The data collection technique was carried out through documentation studies by carefully reading the text and noting relevant language units. Data analysis was carried out by classifying deixis into several types, namely personal deixis, place deixis, time deixis, and social deixis. The results of the study show that personal deixis, especially the use of the first person plural pronoun we and the third person she/her, is the most dominant and functions to build a collective narrator's point of view and emphasize the social distance between society and the main character. Place and time deixis reinforce the theme of isolation and resistance to change, while social deixis represents the hierarchy of power and social status in society. Thus, deixis plays an important role in the formation of meaning, social relations, and ideology in the short story. Keywords: Deixis, Pragmatics, Short story, William Faulkner

THE REPRESENTATION OF LOVE IN THE TELEVISION SERIES “WEDNESDAY”: A SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEXTUAL MEANING
type: item
description: This study explores the representation of love in the Netflix series Wednesday using a semantic approach with a qualitative descriptive method. The analysis focuses on contextual expressions of love conveyed through actions, tone, body language, and situational interactions rather than explicit verbal statements. By examining eight episodes and analyzing forty (40) contextual data excerpts, the study reveals that love in Wednesday is expressed through unconventional forms such as protective behavior, sarcasm, loyalty, and implicit care, reflecting the series’ gothic atmosphere. These contextual expressions extend beyond romantic relationships to include family bonds, friendship, and mutual dependence. The findings demonstrate that semantic analysis of contextual meaning uncovers deeper emotional layers often overlooked in traditional romantic portrayals, highlighting love as a complex and situational construct embedded in narrative and character dynamics.

RELATIONAL PROCESSES IN THE CABINET SECRETARY OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA ONLINE NEWS
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the use of relational processes in an article entitled "Highlights of the First 100 Days of the Red and White Cabinet" using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach proposed by Halliday. The main focus of the analysis is to identify the relational modes contained in the relational process, namely identifying and attributive. The research data are clauses containing relational processes found in the article. The analysis method used is a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this analysis indicate that there are thirteen clauses identified as containing relational processes. Of the thirteen data, five of them are attributive relational processes and eight are identifying relational processes. It can be seen that identifying processes dominate in this text, proving that this text tends to build identity and also the role of policy and also the government to strengthen the image in the first hundred days of its administration. Thus, this study confirms that relational processes not only function as grammatical means, but also as a tool for building political meaning and image in a government discourse. Key words : attributive, Halliday, identifying, relational process, SFL

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ORTHOGRAPHIC ADAPTATION OF BORROWED WORDS IN THE INDONESIAN SUBTITLES OF ‘ONWARD’ (2020)
type: item
description: This research examines the morphological and orthographic adaptation patterns of borrowed words in the Indonesian subtitles of the animated movie "Onward" (2020). Through a descriptive qualitative method, this study analyzes 13 naturalized borrowing words, applying Molina and Albir's (2002) translation procedure framework and principles of morphological adaptation. The findings reveal that borrowed words undergo systematic changes in form and spelling to integrate into the Indonesian linguistic system. Two primary morphological adaptation patterns were identified: (1) singularization, where English plural nouns are adapted into their singular root forms in Indonesian (e.g., centaurs → centaurus); and (2) suffix reduction, where an English adjectival suffix is removed to borrow the base noun (e.g., gelatinous → gelatin). Orthographically, adaptations consistently follow the Perfected Indonesian Spelling (EYD) guidelines, with patterns including grapheme substitution (e.g., 'c' → 'k' in campaign → kampanye), cluster respelling ('sc' → 'sk' in scenario → skenario), and final consonant deletion (e.g., element → elemen). These adaptations demonstrate that naturalization is a structured process that adjusts both the grammatical form and the spelling of foreign words to ensure their seamless integration and productivity within the Indonesian language.

PHONOLOGICAL ADAPTATION PATTERNS IN BORROWING TRANSLATION PROCEDURES IN THE SUBTITLES OF ‘ONWARD’ (2020)
type: item
description: This research analyzes the patterns of phonological adaptation in borrowing translation procedures found in the Indonesian subtitles of the animated movie "Onward" (2020). Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study examines 13 naturalized borrowing words based on the theoretical frameworks of translation procedures by Molina and Albir (2002) and phonetic assimilation by Hock (2021). The analysis, supported by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), reveals systematic phonological adaptation patterns aimed at integrating English words into the Indonesian sound system. The findings indicate several recurring patterns, including: (1) vowel substitution, where English vowels not present in Indonesian are replaced with the closest available sounds (e.g., /ʌ/ → /i/ in bus → bis); (2) consonant devoicing, where voiced consonants are changed to their voiceless counterparts (e.g., /z/ → /s/ in music → musik); (3) simplification of consonant clusters (e.g., /kt/ → /k/ in object → obyek); and (4) vowel epenthesis, or the addition of a final vowel to conform to Indonesian syllable structures (e.g., police → polisi). These patterns demonstrate a consistent process of phonetic assimilation that makes borrowed words more pronounceable and natural for the Indonesian audience. Keyterms: Phonological Adaptation, Borrowing, Subtitling, Translation Procedures, Onward.

ANALYZING SOCIAL CLASS IN THE FILM THE NOTEBOOK BY NICHOLAS SPARKS: MARXIST CRITICISM
type: item
description: ABSTRACT Social class greatly influences daily life, through social class we can see a person's character. In the film The Notebook, social class can hinder the journey between two people who are falling in love. Social class is divided into two parts, the first is the bourgeoisie and the second is the proletariat. The bourgeoisie is a group of people who have a lot of wealth, higher education, a luxurious life, while the proletariat is a group of people who live without power and always do manual labor. The manual labor referred to by the proletariat includes people who work as laborers, construction workers, factory workers, and many more. The film The Notebook depicts the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. This analysis also answers the questions of why social class can influence Allie and Noah's love? And why do families who have bourgeoisie characteristics always disapprove if their children are in a relationship with the proletariat? In this analysis, the author uses a qualitative method because the researcher will look for phenomena that occur in the film. Key Words: Social class, film, bourgeoisie, proletariat ABSTRAK Kelas sosial sangat mempengaruhi kehidupan sehari hari, melalui kelas sosial kita bisa melihat bagaimana watak seseorang.

ANALYSIS OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE IN SELECTED SONGS FROM THE FROZEN MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS
type: item
description: Frozen movie uses figurative language as a tool to convey profound emotional and thematic messages. This study adopts Geoffrey N. Leech's (1981) analytical framework and a qualitative approach. The data obtained consist of 110 examples of figurative language. There are 40 metaphors, 16 hyperboles, 18 personifications, 6 similes, 13 repetitions, 8 ironies, 1 litotes, 2 onomatopoeias, 3 alterations, and 3 idioms. Metaphors, hyperboles, and personifications appear most frequently, and all three effectively enrich the emotional depth and strengthen the narrative flow and character development in the songs. The analysis shows that figurative language functions as an aesthetic element, and also plays a key role in conveying complex themes in an engaging and easily understood manner by the audience. These findings offer practical implications for filmmakers, songwriters, and media researchers, as a strategic tool to create works that are not only entertaining but also full of meaning and profound messages.
