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

2024-04-22T12:58:34+07:00

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.

Keywords: Language, Semantics, Cognitive Semantics, Fairy Tale, Narrative Structure, Semantic Analysis, Cognitive Concepts, Symbolism, Cultural Values, Folklore.

A Social Semiotic Analysis of Selected Basic Pupilsâ€™ English Textbooks in Awka

2024-05-18T14:35:31+07:00

This article examines a social semiotic analysis of selected basic pupilsâ€™ English textbooks in Awka metropolis. Considering the fact that textbooks are necessary tools in the classroom for both teachers and students, it is pertinent to note that without the provision of required texts, teaching and learning of the English language in our schools will be handicapped. Texts in the textbooks for instruction in nearly all levels of education most often occur in combination with images or pictures, which, in essence, depict the multimodal nature of our basic pupilsâ€™ English language textbooks. In examining how these multiple modes interplay and serve as unified modes, this study relies on the notions of social semiotics (Halliday, 1978; Kress, 2012) and multimodality (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006, 2020). Data for the study, consisting of sixteen figures, were obtained from six selected primary school English textbooks. Findings from the study show that textbook designers employ several meaning-making resources to present pupils with concrete and familiar concepts that they can easily relate to. The study contributes to research on language teaching and pedagogy in its approach to applying visuals to teaching English. The study also serves as a resource for teachers and pupils of English. The finding of this study also adds to studies on social semiotics in its incorporation of meaning-making resources in the teaching and learning of the English language by basic pupils.
