Abstract

This study aims at analyzing how the meaning-making of semiotic signs is manifested on (Covid-19)-themed murals in Indonesia. Four murals with covid-19 themes derived from different sources on the Indonesian website were used as the main data for this study. Drawing on Kress and van Leeuwen’s representational, interactive, and compositional function of social semiotics, the analysis reveals that (1) the murals adopt the four processes in narrative representation, (2) the gazes are categorized as offers images and the use of long shot in the images suggest objectivity and social distance, (3) the messages are delivered in given-new and real-ideal pattern and the absence of frames in the murals indicating that the visual and verbal modes lock together to create the sense of unity between the image and written modes to construct and deliver the message by integrating the existing knowledge to reinforce new information. Thus, the current study contributes to the multimodal studies of how visual and written expression construct the meaning-making process.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the most frequently used keywords in pet’s café and regular cafe to identify the linguistics discrepancies between the reviews in the two cafes. A self- created corpora of pet’s café and regular café’s reviews were collected from TripAdvisor and google map and used as the main data to compare the linguistic features in each corpus. The analysis was conducted by using AntConc 3.5.9 for Windows (64-bit) to compare the keywords and concordance lines of notable keywords. A comparison of the keyword analysis indicates that the big discrepancies between the two corpora is the use of second- and third-persons pronouns  in pet café review and the use of the first-person pronouns in regular café review. This pronouns choice suggests that in pet café, the writers adopt customers and product- based review, whereas in regular café, the writer tend to focus their reviews on author-based review. Another notable finding is the absence of Wi-fi in pet café review and the absence of adverb and preposition in regular café. Despite the difference, the reviews in both cafés are heavily dominated by the use of verbs, nouns, and only small number of adjectives found in each corpus.
