FUNGSI DAN MAKNA BAHASA GAUL DALAM INTERAKSI DIGITAL AKUN TWITTER @TANYARLFESS: KAJIAN SOSIOLINGUISTIK DAN SEMANTIK
This study aims to describe the form, function, and meaning of slang used in digital interactions on the Twitter account @tanyarlfess. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a listening and note-taking technique. Data were analyzed through three stages, namely form analysis (acronyms, foreign language absorption, and phonetic puns), function analysis, and meaning analysis based on literal, connotative, and symbolic categories. The results show that slang on the account emerged through a process of linguistic creativity, such as shortening words, absorbing English terms that have undergone expanded meaning, and phonetic modifications for the sake of expression. Functionally, slang is used as a means of self-expression, forming closeness between users, and marking the identity of the digital generation group. The number of data found was 12 data. In addition, the use of slang also shows the dynamics of meaning that is not only literal, but also contains emotional and symbolic values ​​that represent online communication culture. Thus, slang on social media does not only play a role as a variation of language, but also as a social phenomenon that reflects the interaction patterns, identity, and culture of digital media users.

DINAMIKA MAKNA CINTA DALAM LAGU POPULER INDONESIA TAHUN 2023–2024: KAJIAN SEMANTIK
This study aims to describe the denotative and connotative meanings in three popular Indonesian songs, namely "Lesung Pipi" by Raim Laode, "Penjaga Hati" by Nadhif Basalamah, and "Kupu-Kupu" by Tiara Andini, and explain their relevance to Indonesian language learning in the argumentative text material in the sub-chapter of listening and finding song messages at the junior high school level. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a semantic approach. The research data are song lyrics that are selected purposively based on their popularity, depth of meaning, and their closeness to the lives of teenagers. The analysis is carried out by identifying the elements of denotative and connotative meaning in each lyric, then interpreting the moral messages and values ​​contained therein. The results show that the three songs have a tendency towards the theme of admiring in silence, which is expressed through poetic diction, natural symbols, and metaphors. The denotative meaning in the lyrics describes concrete events, while the connotative meaning strengthens the emotional message and moral values ​​such as sincerity, patience, and loyalty. These findings have significant pedagogical relevance, as semantic analysis of popular songs can be utilized as a contextual, engaging, and meaningful learning strategy to train students' critical thinking skills and language appreciation in understanding song messages in accordance with the principles of the Independent Curriculum.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk-bentuk humor yang ditemukan meliputi lelucon seksual, lelucon skatologis, lelucon etnis, lelucon bermuatan permusuhan, serta humor yang merendahkan laki-laki dan perempuan. Selain itu, terdapat bentuk kecerdasan yang menyinggung seperti sindiran, sarkasme, dan penggunaan makian yang berfungsi sebagai strategi kritik sosial. Berdasarkan kajian pragmatik, penggunaan bahasa tabu dalam humor tidak semata-mata bersifat ofensif, melainkan bergantung pada konteks sosial, relasi penutur, dan tujuan komunikatif. Dengan demikian, humor dalam karya ini berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai hiburan, tetapi juga sebagai medium refleksi sosial dan kritik budaya yang disampaikan secara implisit. Kata kunci: humor; bahasa tabu; lelucon seksual; lelucon etnis ; pragmatik Abstract This study aims to describe the forms of humor, including jokes and offensive wit, in Sujiwo Tejo's "Kelakar Madura Buat Gus Dur" (Madura Jokes for Gus Dur) through the perspective of Timothy Jay's pragmatics of taboo language.

ANALISIS MORFOLOGIS BAHASA IKLAN LAYANAN MASYARAKAT BIDANG KESEHATAN
This study aims to examine the use of affixation and reduplication in the language of public service health advertisements on the Instagram account of the Bangkalan Regency Health Office. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data collection was carried out through an observation technique, in which the researchers closely examined public service advertisement posts on the official Instagram account of the Bangkalan Regency Health Office, then recorded words, phrases, or sentences containing affixation and reduplication processes onto data cards. The collected data were analyzed through three stages: identification of affixation and reduplication forms, classification based on morphological process types, and description of their linguistic functions in constructing persuasive messages. The findings show that affixation—in the forms of prefixes, suffixes, and confixes—is highly dominant in expressing meanings related to actions, processes, and states associated with disease prevention efforts. Conversely, reduplication is absent from the data, confirming that health advertisement language prioritizes clarity and directness. These findings imply that advertisement designers need to strategically consider morphological choices to make health messages more communicative, easily understood, and effective in influencing public awareness and healthy living behaviors.

METAFORA KONSEPTUAL DALAM DISKURSUS ALAM DAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DI INDONESIA
Unlike traditional metaphors that function as figurative language, conceptual metaphor serves to illustrate how humans, both collectively and individually, think about their everyday experiences, including their relationship with nature. Descriptive qualitative approach with observation and note-taking techniques, as well as image schemas analysis (Croft & Cruse, 2004) was applied to examine metaphorical headlines and news content from mass media such as Tempo, Merdeka, Suara Indonesia, and Antara News in early 2025. The analysis of five key metaphorical phrases; menggantungkan periuknya (hanging one’s pot), Brantas sekarat (Brantas dying), bumi sakit (sick earth), roda ekonomi (wheel of economy), and gunungan plastik (mountain of plastic) reveals distinct image schemas. The data suggested that different image schemas appeared from each mass media is to represent human experiences in relation to nature while simultaneously conveying criticism of ongoing ecological conditions. In line with previous studies, metaphors function not only as poetic imagination or the rhetorical flourish but also as cognitive tools that shape public understanding of environmental issues, reinforce narrative impact, and deliver critical messages in an implicit manner.

IMITASI BAHASA SELEBGRAM DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP PRAKTIK BERBAHASA REMAJA DI KOTA MATARAM: KAJIAN PRAGMATIK SIBER
This study aims to examine the forms of imitation of Instagram celebrity language and its impact on the language practices of adolescents in Mataram City from a cyber pragmatics perspective. The scope of the study includes identifying the Instagram celebrity language styles imitated by adolescents and their implications for language use in digital communication and everyday life. This study used qualitative methods with data collection techniques in the form of observations, interviews, and questionnaires with adolescents who are active Instagram users. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques with reference to cyber pragmatics theory and social imitation theory. The results show that adolescents tend to imitate the use of Instagram celebrity language (such as kocak, anjay, yapping, for real, gacor, etc.) in their communication with an average percentage of 72.55%. This imitation occurs not only in digital spaces, but also in offline interactions. The impact is seen in the shift in language styles to more informal and the emergence of a tendency to use language that pays less attention to communication ethics. These findings indicate that Instagram celebrities play a role as linguistic models that influence adolescents' language practices in the digital era.

ALIH KODE DAN CAMPUR KODE DALAM NOVEL ABOUT YOU KARYA VISYA NABILA : KAJIAN SOSIOLINGUISTIK
This study aims to describe the basic concepts of sociolinguistics with a focus on the phenomenon of code switching and code mixing, as well as its causative factors in the novel About You by Visya Nabila. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive method with samples in the form of dialogue excerpts between characters. The data collection technique is carried out through document analysis or content analysis. The results of the study show that code switching appears in two types, namely internal and external code switching, with the switch from Indonesian to English. Meanwhile, code mixing occurs through the insertion of English elements in the form of words, phrases, and clauses in the character's speech. Factors that cause code switching include speakers, counter-speakers, changes in the situation due to the presence of a third person, change of topics, desire to look modern, and the creation of humor. The factors that cause code mixing are related to the attitude of the speaker and the linguistic background they have. In addition, the results of this study show that the study of code transfer and code mixing in literary works can contribute to the development of sociolinguistic science, especially in understanding the dynamics of language use in multilingual societies, and can be used as a reference in learning Indonesian language and literature to understand the social function of language, cultural identity, and the development of bilingual communication in modern literary works.

CAMPUR KODE DIALEK MELAYU SEKADAU PADA MAHASISWA UNIVERSITAS PGRI PONTIANAK
This study is designed to elucidate the patterns, categories, and social purposes of borrowing elements of the Sekadau dialect of Malay in the speech of students at PGRI University of Pontianak from a sociolinguistic perspective. The focus of this study is limited to the use of Indonesian, the Sekadau Malay dialect, and English in conversations among students in an academic setting. The approach adopted is qualitative descriptive, with data collection methods including non-intrusive participatory observation (SBLC), audio recording, and detailed note-taking. The study material consists of students’ spoken utterances containing code-mixing phenomena, which were then processed through information reduction, presentation of findings, and synthesis of conclusions. The findings indicate the existence of three classifications of code-mixing: internal, external, and combined, with a prevalence of internal code-mixing characterized by the insertion of the Sekadau Malay dialect into Indonesian. Significant research results indicate that the use of regional dialects functions not only as a means of communication but also as a symbol of identity and social cohesion, and is influenced by the forces of globalization through the adoption of English. Therefore, the code-mixing phenomenon reflects shifts within society and multilingual identity among students.

The purpose of this study was to improve the descriptive text writing skills of seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 9 Bengkulu Tengah using picture media. The low ability of students in developing ideas, describing objects, and composing coherent texts became the basis for conducting this study. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 26 seventh grade students selected through a total sampling technique. Data were obtained through descriptive text writing tests at the pretest and posttest stages. Data analysis techniques used included descriptive statistics to describe student learning outcomes, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test to test data distribution, a paired t-test to determine differences in results before and after treatment, and N-Gain calculations to measure the level of improvement in students' overall abilities. The results showed that the average score increased from 67.96 in the pretest to 80.50 in the posttest, with a percentage increase of 18.47%. The results of the paired test showed a significance value <0.001, which means there was a significant difference between before and after the use of picture media. Furthermore, the N-Gain value of 0.39 is in the moderate category. The implications of this study indicate that images can be used as an effective learning medium to improve descriptive text writing skills because they can help students develop ideas, understand objects concretely, and compose texts in a more structured manner in Indonesian language learning.

PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER TOKOH SONJA DALAM NOVEL KELAB DALAM SWALAYAN KARYA ABI ARDIANDA (TINJAUAN PSIKOLOGI SASTRA)
This study aims to analyze the formation of Sonja's character in the novel Kelab Dalam Swalayan by Abi Ardianda through a review of literary psychology. The analysis in this study uses Skinner's behaviorism theory to determine the formation of Sonja's character. The method used is descriptive qualitative with reading techniques, note-taking techniques, and literature studies. These techniques include reading, listening, recording data, and analyzing quotes and dialogues in the novel. The results of the study show that the formation of Sonja's character is influenced by internal stimuli (family). External stimuli occur because the presence of Nohan (her future husband) changes Sonja's mindset and behavior in controlling past trauma. Second, character formation is influenced by responses to family stimuli. Sonja prefers to be silent because her mother has full control in the family. Meanwhile, responses to environmental stimuli in the form of the influence of others change behavior to become easily influenced. The results of this study can be used as teaching materials for literary learning related to character traits that are dynamic and influenced by various factors. In addition, it can be integrated with the learning of character values ​​in schools.

STRUKTUR NARATIF DAN NILAI SOSIAL DALAM DONGENG JERMAN HANSEL AND GRETEL DAN DONGENG JERMAN RAPUNZEL: KAJIAN SASTRA BANDINGAN
This study aims to analyze the narrative structure and social values in the fairy tales Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel through a comparative literature approach. The scope of the research includes the identification of narrative functions based on Vladimir Propp’s theory and the exploration of social values using Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature perspective. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques. The data consisted of narrative excerpts from Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel by the Grimm Brothers, which were analyzed using Vladimir Propp’s theory and Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature approach. The findings reveal that both fairy tales share similar narrative structures, including an initial situation, villainy, struggle, and a happy ending. However, differences are found in the forms of conflict, character roles, and conflict resolution. Hansel and Gretel emphasizes economic conflict and character independence, while Rapunzel highlights psychological conflict and the process of maturation. In terms of social values, both stories convey love, responsibility, and cooperation, although these values are presented in different contexts. These findings indicate that fairy tales possess universal patterns in representing social realities and can serve as a reference for the development of comparative literature studies and literary analysis.

This study aims to describe the forms of oral literature containing local wisdom that are still preserved within the Sambas community and to examine their role in strengthening literacy in schools. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with an exploratory approach. The data sources consisted of oral traditions of the Sambas Malay community that are still practiced in social, cultural, and religious activities. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.

EMBODIED EXPERIENCE IN NOVELS WRITTEN BY INDONESIAN BLIND AUTHORS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF PERCEPTION
This study aims to describe how embodied experience is presented in novels written by blind Indonesian authors. The scope of the study is focused on the embodied experiences of blind characters in the novels Mata Kedua (2013) and Dunia Tanpa Cahaya (2015) by Ramaditya Adikara, as well as the novel Nafas Sang Pekat (2014) by Nabiel Ghali Azumi. The research employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological textual analysis method. The analysis is grounded in Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concepts of the lived body, perception, and being-in-the-world. The data consist of narratives, dialogues, and monologues that represent the bodily experiences of blind characters as they interact with the world, space, and themselves. The findings reveal that embodied experience in these novels is articulated through three main forms: the presence of the world in multisensory perception, spatial orientation through the body, and self-understanding within embodied experience. The findings demonstrate that their world remains present and meaningful through sounds, aromas, touch, and other sensory experiences. Furthermore, the body functions as a center of orientation that enables the subject to inhabit space and establish relations with the environment. Blindness is depicted as a different way of perceiving, living, and making sense of reality. These findings offer an alternative perspective to ableist views that tend to define human ability solely on the basis of visual capacity.

ANALISIS TOKOH LAIL DALAM NOVEL HUJAN KARYA TERE LIYE: KAJIAN PSIKOLOGI SASTRA
This study aims to analyze the character of Lail in the novel Hujan by Tere Liye as the center of the story’s emotional development. The scope of the study focuses on Lail’s characterization, including her role, motivations, inner conflicts, and psychological changes following a major disaster. This research employs a literary psychology approach using a qualitative descriptive method based on Nurgiyantoro’s theory of character and characterization. The literary psychology approach is used to understand Lail’s behavior, motivations, inner conflicts, and psychological development as representations of human experiences in dealing with trauma and the process of self-healing. The data consist of narrative excerpts, dialogues, and actions related to Lail, obtained from the text of the novel Hujan. The data were analyzed by describing and interpreting the character’s behavior in relation to her roles as a protagonist, antagonist, and tritagonist. The findings reveal that Lail is not only portrayed as a protagonist who represents empathy, resilience, and social concern, but also displays antagonistic and tritagonistic traits in certain situations due to emotional pressure and inner conflict. An interesting finding of this study is the complexity of Lail’s character, which realistically portrays the process of self-healing, where vulnerability and strength coexist. Through Lail’s character, the novel Hujan conveys humanitarian messages about trauma, loss, and the human ability to recover and rediscover the meaning of life.

BATAS KEBEBASAN EKSISTENSIAL PEREMPUAN: ANALISIS LE DEUXIÈME SEXE DALAM CERPEN KISAH SIE SIE
This study describes Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe concept in the character of Sie Sie in Tere Liye's short story “Kisah Sie Sie”. It focuses on the representation of women as the other, forms of immanence, transcendence, and women's existence within patriarchal culture. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with existentialist feminist theory, narrative data were collected through documentation and note-taking from the novel Sepotong Hati yang Baru. Data analysis used heuristic and hermeneutic reading methods. The findings reveal that Sie Sie experiences subordination and objectification as the other within patriarchal structures and domestic confinement (immanence). However, she demonstrates transcendence through sacrifice, labor, and decision-making courage. This study shows that women’s freedom in literary works is portrayed as an existential struggle to preserve identity.

RETORIKA EKONOMI PRABOWO SUBIANTO: ANALISIS VAN DIJK DAN LITERASI KRITIS
The casual remark by President Prabowo Subianto regarding the economic resilience of rural communities against dollar fluctuations in Nganjuk may at first appear to be an ordinary spontaneous statement. However, when examined through Teun A. van Dijk’s socio-cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis, the statement actually contains a structured populist rhetorical strategy aimed at shaping mass psychology and reducing economic panic at the grassroots level. This qualitative study explores the linguistic structure of the speech based on media documentation from Kompas.com and DetikNews during the May–June 2026 period, and the findings are formulated as a practical instrument for critical literacy in Indonesian language education. Structurally, the text employs a deductive-populist approach that connects the success of regional diplomacy with the strengthening of domestic food and energy resilience. Through simple sentence construction and strategic meaning grouping, the impact of the global crisis on rural areas is obscured. Cognitively, a relaxed and humorous speaking style is used to build the image of a down-to-earth leader while also reducing economic anxiety. In context, this rhetoric emerged amid the weakening of the rupiah and functioned as a means of easing public panic. Interestingly, this informal political text circulating on social media shows strong potential to be developed into contextual teaching material. Transforming the analytical results into a classroom guide can train students to critically examine causal reasoning behind everyday texts, while also shifting language instruction away from rigid memorization of theories.
