Derivation is a morphological process that enriches vocabulary through affixation, particularly prefixation and suffixation, which may change both grammatical category and meaning. This study examines the derivational processes of the emotional adjective marah (“angry”) in Indonesian using data from the Leipzig Corpus. The data were analyzed with AntConc and SketchEngine through morphosemantic and syntactic analyses within a qualitative descriptive approach. The study aims to explain how marah undergoes derivation and how its derived forms function syntactically in Indonesian, especially from a linguistic typology perspective. The findings reveal patterns of morphological productivity and semantic variation in the derivation of emotion-related words. In term of linguistic, , this study contributes to a deeper understanding of adjective-based derivation in Indonesian, while theoretically it offers insights for typological morphology and corpus-based lexicographic research.

This study aims to analyze verbal and non-verbal signs in the short film Leaving Home using semiotic theories by Saussure (1983) and Barthes (1967). A qualitative descriptive method was applied through observation and note-taking to identify and interpret the signs within the short film. The analysis revealed 20 verbal signs and 20 non-verbal signs, classified into seven denotative meanings and thirty-three connotative meanings. The findings indicate that connotative signs are more dominant, highlighting the reliance on implicit representations of the concept of “home.” Verbal and non-verbal elements work together to portray themes of nostalgia, emotional struggle, and identity. This semiotic analysis is an effective approach to uncover layered meanings in short films. The significance of this study lies in its focus on short films a medium less examined in semiotic research while its novelty is shown through exploring how minimal dialogue and visual storytelling construct deep emotional meaning.

Capitalistic ideas of beauty in Japanese society are found in how beauty is perceived as social demand and necessity. This study attempts to reveal how the perception of women’s body and beauty in Breasts and Eggs is heavily influenced by the patriarchal and capitalistic ideals. We argue that capitalistic ideas shape the objectification of women’s bodies by using Naomi Wolf’s concept on the Beauty Myth and Alison Jaggar’s theory of capitalist feminism. It finds the female characters embody capitalist beauty standards set by the society through cosmetic surgery, media influences and societal judgment. The female character’s insecurity due to the capitalistic standards of beauty encourage her to follow beauty procedures such as breast augmentation. It reflects that beauty is transformed into commercialism and commodity. These beauty myths and beliefs lead into the psychological effects as shown further by the character’s thoughts on puberty that is tied to social expectation.

The objectives of this study are divided into two, namely specific objectives and general objectives. The specific objective is to describe the factors causing euphemism. Data were collected using the listening method, the speaking method, and the elicitation method. The listening method is assisted by basic techniques, namely the tapping technique and advanced techniques, namely the listening technique involving speaking, the listening technique free involving speaking, the recording technique, and the note-taking technique. The speaking method is assisted by basic techniques, namely the fishing technique and advanced techniques, namely the speaking technique. Data analysis was carried out using the comparative synchronic descriptive method assisted by the substitution technique. The results of the data analysis are presented using the informal method and with inductive and deductive techniques. This study was conducted in the village of Dasan Boroq, East Lombok. The number of native speakers of the Ngeto Ngete dialect Sasak language in this village is 1,600. For the research sample, 16 informants were taken randomly horizontally or ordinally. There are four factors that cause euphemisms, namely (1) the trust factor, (2) the comfort factor, (3) the politeness factor, and (4) the honor factor.

Literary works reflect the author's thoughts and the socio-cultural context of their time. This study aims to examine the representation of women and postfeminism in two Islamic-themed novels: Perempuan Berkalung Sorban by Abidah El Khalieqy and Ketika Mas Gagah Pergi by Helvy Tianna Rosa. Using a qualitative method and postfeminist theory, the study analyzes how women are portrayed and how postfeminist values emerge. The findings reveal that in Perempuan Berkalung Sorban, women are depicted within the confines of a conservative Islamic boarding school life. In Ketika Mas Gagah Pergi, women are constrained by stereotypes of the ideal woman. Both novels illustrate postfeminist ideas through the female characters’ freedom to choose their own paths, highlighting autonomy and identity within an Islamic cultural context.

This study views the Carcan Jadma palm leaf text as a literacy that helps someone to know their identity. Qualitative data through library research. Data were obtained through the listening method, accompanied by translation and note-taking techniques, and analyzed through analytical descriptive methods, with inductive techniques. In addition, the data was "dissected" with hermeneutic and semiotic theories to obtain a comprehensive interpretation of meaning. The Carcan Jadma palm leaf text shows that a person's character or nature and luck are correlated with physical characteristics. A person can have these physical characteristics since birth, such as scars, moles, or other congenital defects. The consequence of these physical characteristics is that those who are lucky to have good characteristics and good fortune must maintain them in their daily lives. Those who acquire bad characteristics must change the characteristics that reflect badness with goodness.

This research is a structural study that focuses on describing the syntactic categories and the types of Japanese onomatopoeia that taken from advertising pamphlets of commercial food and beverage products. The data analysis method that applied in this research is the intralingual pairing method. Some of the theories that used are the theory of syntactic categories from Ikuhiro and Lawrence (1998) as well as from Kaori (2006), the theory of onomatopoeia types from Kaori (2006) and the theory of sentence analysis through phrase structure trees from Tsujimura (1996). From the analysis that have done, it was found about 78 data, including 33 different onomatopoeias that appearing in 68 sentences on 48 digital pamphlets of commercial products from various brands. Based on syntactic categories, Japanese onomatopoeia can be categorized as verb, adjective, noun and adverb with particles and affixes as the marker that are quite diverse.

This research is motivated by the fact that Modern Balinese is a continuation of Ancient Balinese. Theoretically, various things in language change are very possible, both microlinguistically and macrolinguistically. This research concerns microlinguistic aspects, especially changes in lexical form and meaning. The aim of this research is to describe changes in the lexical form of Old Balinese in Modern Balinese. The theory used is structural theory. This research is descriptive qualitative in nature. To describe data and analysis, there are three stages of the method used, namely providing data, analyzing data, and presenting analysis results. The data collected is classified based on linguistic characteristics and then described and compared with the initial form and the derived form. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analytical methods and matching methods. Presentation of results is carried out using formal-informal methods. The results of the analysis show that lexical changes from Old Balinese to Modern Balinese can occur phonologically in both form and meaning. The form of change is in the form of complete lexical changes and some are partial changes.
