Analysis of Meaning in Song Lyrics "I'd Like to Watch You Sleeping"By Sal Priadi
The development of contemporary Indonesian music gave rise to a complex, metaphorical lyric style, demanding a deep understanding to uncover the hidden meaning behind the songwriter's language play. Semiotic analysis is an essential approach for dissecting the relationships between markers to bridge the gap in understanding between music creators and connoisseurs. This research has a dual purpose: to identify and analyze the representation of denotative and connotative meanings in the lyrics of the song "I'd Like to Watch You Sleeping" by Sal Priadi, and to describe the unity of meaning the author seeks to convey through language symbols. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis, involving the systematic processes of reading, listening, taking notes, and analyzing textual data in the form of song lyrics and audio recordings. The results showed the use of absurd and metaphorical markers such as "more often gaping", "cartoon characters on television", "the body evaporates into rain", and "playing in the clouds" which convey signs in the form of deep admiration, hope for eternity, transformation of love, and the desire to become an integral part of a lover. These findings reveal patterns of symbolic language use in contemporary song lyrics and provide insight into the construction of connotative meanings through deviations from denotative meanings. This research is expected to serve as a reference for the study of linguistics and literature and to make a practical contribution to the appreciation of contemporary Indonesian music.

Manifestations of Slang in Improving Informal Subvariety ofThe Indonesian Language
Slang is a unique phenomenon in society. Related to this phenomenon, slang is a language commonly used by the community, often with modified vocabulary. Slang is an increasingly prevalent social phenomenon among young people today. Based on previous research, several factors have triggered its resurgence among young people. Related to this, this article will discuss the manifestation of slang as one of the informal subvarieties in Indonesia. The use of slang is recommended to be able to develop in a society with several considerations, including (a) Slang is just one subvariety of Indonesian; (b) Slang increases the expressive power and diversity of Indonesian; (c) Slang indicates cultural pluralism in Indonesian; (d) Slang is just a variant form of the informal variety of Indonesian. Thus, slang and its use cannot be considered vulgar.

Language Production of Children Aged 3-4 Years in Working and Non-Working Parents in Kalikapas Hamlet, Lamongan Regency: A Psycholinguistic Study
The role of parents is crucial in determining a child's ability to produce speech and develop vocabulary. Socioeconomic changes and parental involvement in work have led to a decrease in the intensity of communication, which has the potential to hinder children's language acquisition and social interaction. This study aims to describe the differences in language production abilities among children aged 3–4 years in Kalikapas Hamlet, Lamongan Regency, between those whose parents are employed and those whose parents are not employed. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques that included observation and in-depth interviews with 11 informants. The data were analysed through transcription, speech classification, and social context interpretation with triangulation of sources. The study's results indicate that there are differences in the language production abilities of children from working and non-working families. Children of non-working parents demonstrate better phonological and syntactic skills, can form complex sentences with subject-predicate-object-adverbial structures, and have more precise pronunciation. The study's results indicate that there are differences in the language production abilities of children from households with working and non-working parents. Children of non-working parents demonstrate better phonological and syntactic skills, can form complex sentences with subject-predicate-object-complement structures, and have more precise pronunciation. The results also show that children of working parents tend to have limitations in phoneme pronunciation and simple sentence construction due to lower intensity of interaction. These findings confirm that the frequency and quality of two-way conversations between children and parents play a crucial role in children's language development. A home environment rich in verbal stimulation and simple literacy activities, such as storytelling and reading together, has been shown to support the improvement of children's vocabulary and syntactic structure.

Representation of Anxiety in the Poster “قتال” on the Al Qassam Website: A Semiotic Analysis by Roland Barthes
The current events in Gaza, Palestine, are genocides that have claimed many lives. This triggered protests in various parts of the world. Various visual elements appeared, including the circulation of pro-Palestinian posters during the action. The poster is not only an ordinary publication medium, but it also conveys the anxiety of the Palestinian people and serves as a medium of emotional expression that reflects the community's feelings. This study analyzes the visual meaning, particularly in the symbols that represent the concept of anxiety, as depicted in the "قتال" poster on the official website of Brigadier Al Qassam, utilizing Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The method used in this study is qualitative. The results of this study identified five symbols that represent anxiety and convey mythical meanings, derived from a unified understanding of connotations and denotations obtained from several selected respondents. Additionally, the researcher analyzed the meaning conveyed by the poster's color symbols. The existence of this color symbol can enhance the symbolic and emotional message it conveys. It was found that 12 dominant colors were found on the poster; the colors used tended to be dark shades. This creates a gloomy atmosphere that reflects sadness, destruction, and disaster.

This research aims to investigate the myth of masculinity in novels such as Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas, and its influence on the characters' personalities, as well as the implications of the characters' personalities formed by the myth of masculinity on the conflict in the novel. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a literature study and document study method. This study employs Roland Barthes' theory of semiotics to analyze myths in novels, John Beynon's theory of masculinity to categorize the myth of masculinity in novels, and Sigmund Freud's theory of personality structure to examine the impact of the myth of masculinity on the character's personality. Furthermore, conflict theory in literary works is used to analyze the implications of the myth of masculinity on conflict in novels. The results of the study reveal that the novel encompasses six aspects of masculinity that influence the id, ego, and superego. Such personality structures trigger internal and external conflicts. Based on the analysis results, it is concluded that Uttas untangles the myth of masculinity in the novel Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar, examining its psychological, social, and political aspects.

Exploration of Directive Speech in the Film Dialogue "Until Tomorrow" by Evelyn Afnilia
The problem in this study is how the function of directive speech acts in the film "Until Tomorrow" by Evelyn Afnilia. This study aims to describe and analyze the function of directive speech acts in the film "Until Tomorrow" by Evelyn Afnilia. The theory used in this study is the theory of the function of directive speech acts proposed by George Yule. This study uses a qualitative approach using the Content Analysis method. The data source in this study is all the speech of the Until Tomorrow film players. The research data includes all the speeches of the Until Tomorrow film players, which are included in the function of directive speech acts. Data were collected through listening techniques, note-taking techniques, and documentation techniques. The study's results in the film Until Tomorrow found 38 directive speech acts with seven speech act functions. These findings conclude that the most frequently occurring directive speech acts are commanding directive speech acts, consisting of 14 data points. The commanding function in this film is full of emotional pressure and conflict, such as difficult decisions or urgent responsibilities. In situations like this, characters tend to use commands to assert authority, convey urgency, or regulate actions, rather than a more polite form of asking. The dominance of the “Commanding” function shows how the emotional pressure and conflict in this film push the characters to take direct, decisive action, which is important for building the intensity of the drama in the romantic narrative.

Fantasy Formula in the Story of the Nusantara Webtoon Droid War by Vega Mandalika
Webtoon NDW is a literary work that presents vertical image panels, making it unique from other scholarly works. As a popular fantasy genre work, researchers suspect that there is a formula in the Webtoon NDW story. This study aims to reveal the fantasy formula in the Webtoon Nusantara Droid War (NDW) story by Vega Mandalika. The type of research is qualitative and uses the theoretical basis of the fantasy formula from Deborah Chester (2016), which consists of three elements: story roles, magic, and a special world. Data were obtained from episodes 1 to 50 of Webtoon NDW through data collection with documentation techniques and literature studies. Then, it was analyzed through data condensation, presentation, and conclusion to find patterns in the research object. The study results show that the Webtoon NDW story has three categories of characters, each with its role. The closer a character is to the minor category, the more limited their appearance will be. The story's characters use spells with different functions, such as turning on droids or summoning magical powers. Webtoon NDW presents a special world with wonders not found in other worlds. These three elements are present repeatedly and consistently in the Webtoon NDW story. Thus, some patterns in the NDW story follow the fantasy formula proposed by Deborah Chester. The study results help develop popular literary theory, especially the fantasy formula in Webtoon, and serve as a reference for similar research in the future. This study requires further research to determine the influence and effectiveness of Webtoon NDW in learning literature in the digital era.

This method is essential for understanding the complexity of language in social and cultural contexts and identifying trends in research and scientific collaboration. This study aims to map the development of modern linguistics with a bibliometric approach using data from Scopus and Google Scholar from 2019 to 2023. The main objective of this study is to identify patterns of publications, scientific collaborations, and thematic clusters in linguistics. The methods used include bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer software to visualize the data. The analysis results reveal four main clusters in the Scopus data: traditional linguistics, computational linguistics, applied linguistics, and corpus linguistics. Meanwhile, an analysis from Google Scholar shows five clusters that show significant contributions from developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. The United States and Western European countries were identified as the dominant centers of scientific collaboration, while the involvement of developing countries was limited. These findings highlight the integration between linguistics and technology and a shift in research focus towards interdisciplinarity. This research provides important insights for understanding the modern linguistic scientific landscape. It offers strategic implications for researchers, journal editors, and policymakers in designing research directions more responsive to global challenges.

The Existential Crisis in the Novel Lho: An Existential Psychological Analysis Based on Rollo May’s Perspective
This study examines the existential crisis of the main character in Putu Wijaya's novel Lho using Rollo May's existential psychology theory. The primary aim of this research is to analyze the concepts of being-in-the-world (existence) and non-being (non-existence) in the life journey of the main character. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data consisting of the main character's dialogues and monologues. The findings reveal that the concept of being-in-the-world is represented through three dimensions: (1) the character's relationship with the physical environment (Umwelt), (2) the character's relationship with others (Mitwelt), and (3) the character's relationship with themselves (Eigenwelt). Meanwhile, the concept of nonbeing is represented through: (1) fear of consequences, (2) a crisis of trust, and (3) destructive behavior. These findings do not function merely as adverse conditions but as forces that shape the character’s efforts to negotiate meaning and existence. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of how the concepts of being-in-the-world and non-being can be applied to explain individual existential crises in literary studies, as well as in broader human experiences.

Register to Buy and Sell Indonesian SEO Community on Telegram
The rapid development of the internet has given birth to several influential platforms, such as social media. The increasing use of social media triggers the use of a particular community's distinctive language that reflects its culture. This study analyzes the buying and selling registers, functions, norms, and values of the Indonesian SEO Community (KSI). This qualitative research uses research in the form of a selling' feature (chat) sourced from the KS I Telegram group. The data was collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and field notes. The analysis process occurs in the register, morphology, and function analysis stages. Using the theory of the formation of the wordKridalaksana (1992) and Yule (2010), it was found that the KSI register was mainly in the form of basic morphemes or did not undergo the formation process. Other formation processes are abbreviation, the merger of two non-predictive words (phrases), affixation or derivation, compounding (merging), and coinage (combination). Meanwhile, the function of using registers analyzed using the Thurlow & Brown framework (2003) is dominated by SEO terminology. Other registers also function for communication efficiency, persuasiveness, greetings, pronouns, informativeness, and transactions. A significant finding in this study is that instant messaging has a different context of use and pressure than other digital media. This is reflected in checkout registers that function as promotional closures and have lower pressure on buyers than TikTok live broadcasts. In addition, using neutral terms such as agan, colleague, guys, everyone, all, and mbah reflects inclusive and egalitarian community management. Through register analysis from the perspective of Digital Ethnography, the implications of this research can be used by business people to maximize their sales in the digital space.

Representation of Human and Environmental Relations in the Novel“Mausim al-Hijrah ila al-Syimal ” by Tayyib Salih: An Ecocritical Studyby Greg Garrard
Ecocritical studies in literature have increasingly developed alongside growing awareness of the relationship between humans and the environment. The novel Mausim al-Hijrah ila al-Syimal by Tayyib Salih, set in Sudan, presents a narrative about human interaction with nature in a postcolonial context. This study aims to analyze the representation of human-environment relationships in the novel using Greg Garrard’s ecocritical approach. The focus of this study includes six key concepts of Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism: pastoral, pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, and animals. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with an ecocritical approach. Data collection techniques include reading, marking, and noting relevant texts. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s framework: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal two main types of human-environment relationships in the novel. The conflictual relationship is reflected in (1) pollution, symbolizing modernization and its detrimental effects on the environment; (2) wilderness, portraying human struggles and powerlessness against nature’s forces; and (3) apocalypse, depicted through natural disasters like catastrophic floods that disrupt society. Meanwhile, the harmonious relationship is illustrated in (1) pastoral, representing nostalgia for rural life and criticism of modernization; (2) dwelling, highlighting the emotional attachment between humans and their living spaces; and (3) animals, showing their role in daily life as part of the social and ecological system. These findings indicate that Mausim al-Hijrah ila al-Syimal not only critiques environmental exploitation and modernization’s impact but also emphasizes human attachment to nature. This study is expected to expand the understanding of ecocriticism in postcolonial literature and uncover the complexity of human-environment interactions.

Linguistic and Cultural Dimensions in the Names of Dwarf Creatures in Indonesian Mythology
This research explores the linguistic and cultural dimensions of dwarf creatures' names in Indonesian mythology. The main focus is analyzing the referential system in naming dwarf creatures and revealing their socio-cultural functions in society. Using a qualitative approach with ethnographic design, this study analyzes data from folklore documentation and ethnographic records. The results show that the referential system in naming dwarf creatures refers to various aspects such as physical characteristics (Uhang Pandak, Manusia Katai), traits and behaviors (Tuyul, Mentek), and geographical locations and mythological origins (Suku Mante, Suku Oni). Culturally, dwarf creatures function as complex social control mechanisms, covering aspects of economic morality (Tuyul), human-nature relationships (Mentek, Orang Bunian), and social identity (Ebu Gogo). This research reveals that the existence of dwarf creatures in Indonesian mythology is not merely a supernatural construction but represents a belief system reflecting the archipelagic society's values, norms, and local wisdom.

Escape and Reconciliation of the Characters in the Short Story 'Tenggelam’ by Neneng Fatimah: A Psychological Analysis
This research analyses the escape and reconciliation of the main character in the short story ‘Tenggelam’ by Neneng Fatimah using Rollo May's existentialist psychology approach and Sigmund Freud's literary psychology. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Researchers repeatedly read the story to identify mental and emotional dynamics and self-defense mechanisms and resolve the main character's inner conflict. The results showed that the main character's escape involved anxiety, guilt, and a form of love. This escape is realized through self-isolation and rejection of interaction with the surrounding environment, reflecting the character's efforts to deal with inner conflict and search for the meaning of his life. Reconciliation begins to appear when the main character faces the reality of his life with courage and accepts his condition. This reconciliation becomes the peak of emotional transformation, shown through accepting reality and building better relationships with people around her. This research is expected to contribute to the study of literary psychology by highlighting how characters' inner conflicts can be analyzed through a psychological perspective and the relevance of the theme of escape and reconciliation in the context of human life in general. The findings enrich the understanding of the relationship between literature and individual psychological dynamics.
