Ironi dalam Novel “Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar” Karya Tere Liye: Analisis Semantik Kognitif
This study examines irony in the novel Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar by Tere Liye using a cognitive semantic approach. The research aims to explore the meanings and functions of irony within the novel. Through content analysis, three types of irony were identified: verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony. A total of 10 data points were analyzed, consisting of 3 instances of verbal irony, 6 instances of dramatic irony, and 1 instance of situational irony. Verbal irony appears when the author employs words that contradict their actual meanings, as seen in dialogues that convey subtle yet sharp sarcasm. Situational irony is evident in the disparity between the hopes and realities faced by the characters, such as the failure to attain happiness despite their hard efforts. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader is aware of information unknown to the characters, adding depth to the narrative. The findings of this study reveal that the irony in this novel not only enriches the narrative meaning but also serves as a tool for social critique regarding the depicted situations. Keywords: irony, cognitive semantics, novel, social critique

The objective of this research is to find translation techniques and the types of collocation in the novel A Child Called ‘It’: Once Child’s Courage to Survive. The limitation in this research is only to examine the analysis of collocation translation. The gap of this study is that there is still a misunderstanding in translating collocation and investigating how collocation is actually translated. This research used the theory of Molina and Albir (2002) for the technique of translation and the theory of McCarthy and O‘Dell (2017) for the collocation. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collocations in the novel A Child Called ‘It’: Once Child’s Courage to Survive in two versions, English as the source text and Bahasa Indonesia as the target text. From 18 techniques. There are 11 techniques applied in the data, which are adaptation, amplification, borrowing, calque, description, discursive creation, established equivalent, literal translation, modulation, reduction, and variation. In addition, there are six types of collocation found, which are adjectives and nouns, nouns and verbs, nouns and nouns, verbs and expressions with prepositions, verbs and adverbs, adverbs and adjectives.

Pelesapan subjek dalam lagu denny caknan: Kajian pragmasintaksis
This study aims to analyze the pattern of subject ellipsis in the clauses of Denny Caknan’s song lyrics. Ellipsis is a linguistic phenomenon in which a word or linguistic unit is not explicitly mentioned, but its meaning can be understood from the context. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research collects data through the listening method and note-taking technique, which are then analyzed using techniques such as direct element division, inversion, ellipsis, and substitution. The findings indicate that subject ellipsis in these lyrics results in a more concise and effective narrative, although it requires contextual understanding from the listener. The listener’s understanding of subject ellipsis is highly dependent on the context of the preceding lyrics and their ability to fill in the missing syntactic elements, making them an active part of the interpretation process. These findings are expected to enrich linguistic studies on ellipsis and contribute to further research on subject ellipsis. Keywords: ellipsis, syntax, pragmatics, song lyrics, Denny Caknan

This study aims to enhance the culture of critical thinking in high schools by identifying the reasoning techniques used by students in written argumentative texts. Employing a qualitative approach with discourse analysis as the theoretical framework, this research investigates how students construct arguments in their writing assignments. Data collection involved analyzing these assignments to identify reasoning techniques. This study identifies four argumentation patterns used by high school students in argumentative writing: (1) C-G-B, (2) C-G-W-B, (3) C-G-B-MQ, and (4) C-G-W-B-MQ, as well as three argumentation techniques: (1) argumentation with examples, (2) argumentation with authority, and (3) argumentation with cause. The C-G-B and C-G-W-B patterns promote analysis, while the C-G-B-MQ and C-G-W-B-MQ patterns encourage synthesis. These argumentation techniques help students evaluate, strengthen logical thinking, and analyze cause-and-effect relationships. Recommendations for enhancing critical thinking skills and character development include incorporating these argumentation patterns into teaching materials and facilitating the learning of diverse argumentation techniques. Keywords: critical thinking, character development, argumentative reasoning, high school students

Perubahan Makna Kata Serapan dalam Surat Kabar Asy-Syarqu Al-Ausath Vol. 47: Kajian Semantik
The development of science, technology and culture cause the meaning of a word to change. Word absorption in foreign language also develops over time. This research aims to analyze how the meaning of the word has changed compared to its original meaning in the newspaper Asy-Syarqu Al-Ausath edition Vol. 47. Understanding the changes in the meanings of absorbing words helps prevent ambiguity and supports communication accuracy in the Arabic world. It belongs to descriptive qualitative research. The approach applied in this research is the change of meaning according to Sarwiji Suwandi's view. The data collection technique used listening method followed by documentation technique. Data analysis in this study used intralingual pairing method with the technique of connecting-comparing (HBB). The results of this study show that there are two types of meaning changes, namely (1) generalization or expansion of meaning, for example in the absorption word al-barliman (البرلمان) and (2) specialization or narrowing of meaning as in the absorption word diplomasiyah (الدبلوماسية). Of the two types of meaning changes in the Vol. 47 edition of Asy-Syarqu Al-Ausath newspaper, specialization or narrowing changes in meaning are most often found. So it can be seen that English words absorbed into Arabic tend to experience a process of specialization or narrowing of meaning. Keywords: Loanwords, Change of Meaning, Semantic, Arabic Newspaper

Makna Benbepon dalam Tradisi Ararem sebagai Strategi Budaya Masuknya Masyarakat China di Pulau Biak, Papua: Kajian Antropolinguistik
The existence of benbepon according to stories circulating for generations began with Chinese traders who came to eastern Indonesia, especially on Biak Island, Papua. History proves that before the 15th century, Papuans had already established relationships with foreign nations such as traders from China, Spain and Potrugal. On the way back to their hometowns, it was not uncommon for Biak people to meet Chinese traders who wanted to go to the same destination. But before passing through or stopping to settle on Biak Island, the Biak tribe community, has a request that must be fulfilled, namely they must leave something in the form of goods or objects as a condition that they are accepted by the Biak tribe community. Then foreign ceramic objects such as plates and jars were given by Chinese Chinese traders to the Biak tribal community. Biak people call these foreign ceramic objects “Benbepon”. The research method used is linguistic anthropology which aims to examine language with a cultural, social context in the naming of benbepon motifs in the ararem tradition of the Biak tribe. then the data is analyzed using Barthes' semiotic theory, namely denotative and connotative meanings to find out and describe the symbolic meaning and form of benbepon motifs and shapes. Based on the results and discussion of the History of Chinese Arrival. benbepon is classified by the Biak tribe based on age, motif, shape and sound. The results of the classification are ten types of benbepon, but in the Biak tribe's ararem tradition which is used until now only 8 types of benbepon such as the embossed dragon snake motif (Benkorben), koi/gold fish (Benkarip), roses (Paramasi/Resa-resa Paramasi), paradise occupying tifa, to the honai house (Benayemer). Then the benbepon motif has a symbolic meaning in the ararem tradition for the Biak tribe, which symbolizes prosperity, protection, luck, fertility, peace, and self-identity that must be preserved. Benbepon also has anthropological aspects in the ararem tradition, namely the acculturation process in the benbepon and the function of benbepon in Biak society.

Pengembangan kreativitas dan partisipasi Mahasiswa PSR: Pembelajaran kolaboratif collective painting dalam pembuatan gambar dekoratif
Fine art learning usually only focuses on individual development. Whereas through art, students can also collaborate in creating a work. For this reason, as prospective educators, students of Fine Arts Education or PSR must have a strategy to create learning activities that can develop creativity as well as student participation. The research method used this time is a qualitative method with an experimental approach. The approach is done to explore directly about the process, results, and dynamics that arise during data collection. The data collection instrument in this research is participatory observation of four PSR students who practice drawing, both individually and in groups, besides that there are also interviews and literature studies to strengthen the assessment of observation results. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of the decorative drawing process using conventional techniques and collective painting techniques as an innovation in the development of learning methods, which is expected to inspire learning models for PSR students. The results of these observations have proven that creativity and participation increase when applying the collective painting method. This is evident when implementing collective painting practices, where they have more discussions and communication to work together in creating works of monumental size than with conventional methods, where they only work individually and focus on their respective works.

Konflik Sosial Dalam Novel Senja di Jakarta Karya Mochtar Lubis
The novel "Senja in Jakarta" depicts the political, social and economic life of Indonesian society in the era of Liberal Democracy and Guided Democracy, especially in Jakarta during the 1950s. This novel depicts the dirty political practices of manipulators, fraudsters and corrupt officials in Jakarta against the background of the lives of ordinary people. This research aims to describe the social conflicts contained in the novel, namely realistic and non-realistic conflicts as well as the positive function of these social conflicts. Realistic conflict arises from dissatisfaction or disappointment experienced by individuals or groups with a system or demands in social relations. On the other hand, non-realistic conflicts are driven by irrational and ideological desires. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a literary sociology approach. The data used in this research are text excerpts in the form of dialogues, monologues and narratives that describe social conflicts in the novel "Senja in Jakarta". The data collection instruments used were documentation and observation using reading and note-taking techniques. The data analysis process includes repeated reading, highlighting, documentation, and data analysis using Lewis A. Coser's social conflict theory. Then, four realistic social conflict data were found, consisting of two data related to hostile feelings, and two data related to hostile behaviour, two data on unrealistic social conflict, and two data on the positive function of social conflict. This research connects the depiction of social conflict in the novel "Senja in Jakarta" with the reality of Indonesian society in the 1950s, thereby showing that conflict, both realistic and non-realistic, will give rise to functions that shape the social structure and identity of Indonesian society in the 1950s.

Analisis Suprasegmental Penutur Laki-Laki dan Perempuan pada Kalimat Imperatif Bahasa Batak Toba
Suprasegmentals are language sounds that accompany phonemes, which can be in the form of sound pressure, length-shortness, and sound vibrations associated with speech segments. Suprasegmentals in this study includes the frequency, intensity, and duration of the sounds produced. This study aims to analyze the differences in frequency, intensity, and duration of the sounds produced by male and female speakers in pronouncing Toba Batak imperative sentences, namely: “beta hita tu topi tao!” which means ‘let's go to the lakeside!’. This research method uses an instrumental approach by maximizing Praat software in analyzing frequency, intensity, and duration. The population and sample taken in this study is the voice of one native male and female speaker. The results of the analysis of this study show, namely: (1) the frequency of male speakers' voices is lower than female speakers; (2) the intensity of male speakers' voices is smaller than female speakers; and (3) the duration of male speakers' voices takes longer than female speakers to say the sentence. From this research, it can be seen that male and female voice differences have relevance to suprasegmental because both focus on the nonsegmental aspects of language, which play an important role in verbal communication. Keywords: suprasegmentals, frequency, duration, intensity

Peristiwa Alih Kode dan Campur Kode Bahasa pada Masyarakat Pesisir Pelabuhan Ratu, Sukabumi
This study aims to analyze code switching and code mixing events in the coastal community of Pelabuhan Ratu, Sukabumi, West Java. Using a descriptive-qualitative research method, data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews with research subjects, namely fishermen and traders around Pelabuhan Ratu. The data samples were 4 fishermen at the Fish Auction Market and 2 traders at the Traditional Market. The results showed that there were 21 internal code switching events with 18 events in fishermen and 3 events in traders. The significant difference in frequency between the code switching data of fishermen and traders was caused by differences in the background of the research subjects. This affected the speech of indigenous fishermen so that many code switching events occurred, while traders were indigenous people who had lived in Pelabuhan Ratu for a long time. Meanwhile, 37 code mixing events were found consisting of 4 code mixing in the form of words, 22 code mixing in the form of phrases, and 11 code mixing in the form of clauses. Based on these data, code switching events generally occur when speakers adjust their language to their conversation partners, while code mixing occurs because of the speaker's habit of mixing the use of Indonesian and Sundanese in everyday conversation. This study implies that the coastal community of Pelabuhan Ratu is a bilingual community that actively uses Indonesian and Sundanese in everyday communication. This finding can contribute to the development of sociolinguistic studies in other coastal areas. In addition, it can also be a suggestion and input for educational institutions to develop policies on the use of Indonesian in public spaces and the maintenance of local languages in the Pelabuhan Ratu area.

The includes the use of connotative diction, figures of speech such as metaphors, hyperbole, and repetition, concrete words, similes, and low-pitched rhymes or rhythms. In addition, typographic aspects such as the use of capital letters and complete punctuation are also analyzed. The inner structure includes emotions, tones, themes, and moral messages conveyed in the poem. These two structures do not stand alone but complement each other so as to provide depth of meaning. The relationship between physical and spiritual structures arouses the reader's emotions, allowing them to understand and appreciate the contents of the poem more deeply. In conclusion, the meaning of the poem 'Kangen' as a whole is formed by the integration of physical and spiritual structures. The results of this study are expected to deepen the understanding between the structure of poetry and the meaning contained therein, as well as add a new descriptive perspective that has not been found in previous studies so that it can inspire other writers and poets in composing poetry.
