"ANALYSIS OF THE STUDY OF SEMANTIC COGNITIVE MEANING IN KISAR ISLANDS STORY SIMPAN EMAS DI DALAM TUNGKU"

Abstract

Abstract: Language serves as a complex tool for communication, reflecting culture, identity, and thought. Semantics, a branch of linguistics, delves into the meaning behind language, considering context, structure, and usage. This study explores the semantic analysis of the fairy tale "Kisar Island Stores Gold in the Furnace," examining how language and narrative structure convey deep meanings. Using cognitive semantic analysis, the research aims to understand the cognitive concepts reflected in the story and how language usage mirrors societal worldview. By analyzing sentence structures, word choices, and narrative styles, the study uncovers complex layers of meaning within the tale. The methodology involves content understanding, identification of cognitive concepts, metaphor analysis, and exploration of implied meanings. Data analysis follows cognitive semantic principles, with Croft and Cruse's theory employed for metaphor analysis. The results reveal semantic cognitive meanings embedded in the tale, including themes of wealth, family, and journey. The narrative structure employs simple language, motifs, characterization, and moral messages, reflecting societal values. Additionally, the story's sentence structures and word choices contribute to its rich symbolism and layered meanings. Overall, this analysis highlights how language and narrative elements contribute to the depth and complexity of meaning in fairy tales.
