The article give us the material about Euphemism

Euphemism is good language style in social communication, we have do it everyday   wherever we are. But, we must know it can be used in certain  communities becouse it is not only the expression received by society , but also style of language imitated in certain environment in all aspect , such as social and politic, religius, culture, and traditional morality and all of this refers to social culture. According to Enrigh 1985,p.29 “ A language without Euphemismwould be a defective instrument of communication. So, a language becomes dull and looks rude without euphemism.

Euphemism comes from the Greek word, Eu is well and Pheme means speaking . In general meaning, it is word or frase or communication style which are used in specific condition or conceal something unpleasant. Briefly, Euphemism is the way how to speak why? Becouse, it may be that someone will talk about something uncomfortable but with euphemism will speak  well. According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998, p. 634 “Uepihemism is a mild or inddirect word or expression substitud for one considered to be to harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. And it can be said it is useful in our daily life.

RQ:

Is it  important Uephemism in the society ?

To answer this question, the researcher uses experience and library research method

There are two bacic functions of uephemism the “function of concealing” and or the “function of veiling”. The distinction between the two functions is problematic because the two verbs used to name them are synonymous. In fact, a single euphemism can simultaneously fulfill both functions in discourse.

Function of concealing

In this function, euphemism is very useful to evoid certain aspect of a word or concept that can violate the norm, for example” war “ we can say “ crisis” intervention we can say question. This euphemism depend on base of soft , to hiden the word but it does not make it lose for the meaning

Function of veiling

In this fuction, euphemism can fulfil the purpose and change to the reality segment so, euphemism show the fact that attention from the listener is chosed by speaker, it is concern to the speaker. The example of this can we find out from newspaper.

There are two reason use euphemism

1.Base of psychologically reason

This is connect to face during communication, respect betwen each other or based on embarrassment, fear based and courtesy to others.it can use for data processing information.

2. .A Balance Between Efficiency and Expressivity in Communication

When the speaker speak, the first purpose  is communicate with use the good strategy to make the efficient communication. We can see the magic of euphemism when we used in communication.

Strengthen of this article is:

The author can explain in sentences more clearly and easy to understand about Euphemism. It is really important used in our society,sSo many thing that we have to concern during communication you can see my reviewartcle  above. It is  upsolutely, we must use it in our life.

Weakness of this articles :

Fortunatly in this article, there is no clearly example in sentences and how to use in dayly activity in life. It’s a little bit dificult becouse it is not show us in ccommunication.

Conclusion :

The resercher is really nice to compile all the data in this article and take reference from experts who give good explanation about Euphemism. The use of euphemism varies with the gender, age,social status and occupation and cover various aspects of sosial culture, including social conventions, traditional morality, religion, cocial value and politics etc. However, it is not make us more satisfaction becouse it is less example that we can use in our society.

REVIEW AN ARTICLE ABOUT SEMANTICS

Review article about semantics

Reviewed by Dewi Suriany

Title       : Semantics and Theories of Semantics

Post by : Abbas Bukhari at Academia.Edu

Pages    : 14

The article give us the material about semantics, such as :

Semantics

Semantics is the study of meaning in language. The sound patterns of language are studied at the level of phonology and the organization of words and sentences is studied at the level of morphology and syntax. Semantics is that level of linguistic analysis where meaning is analyzed. It is the most abstract level of linguistics, since we cannot see or observe meaning as we can observe and record sounds.  Semantics concerns itself with ‘giving a systematic account of the nature of meaning’ (Leech). The problem of ‘meaning’ is quite difficult; it is because of its toughness that some linguists went on to the extent of excluding semantics from linguistics. A well-known structuralist made the astonishing statement that ‘linguistic system of a language does not include the semantics. The system is abstract, it is a signaling system, and as soon as we study semantics we are no longer studying language but the semantic system associated with language. The structralists were of the opinion that it is only the form of language which can be studied, and not the abstract functions. Both these are misconceptions. Recently a serious interest has been taken in the various problems of semantics. And semantics is being studied not only by the linguists but also by philosophers, psychologists, scientists, anthropologists and sociologists. so, how many meaning will we learn in semantics ? To answer this question,  the researcher uses library research method. 

Taking up some of the above definitions of meaning, we can discuss the different aspects of meaning o a word as follows:

(i)                 The logical or  denotative meaning. This is the literal meaning of a word indicating the idea or concept to which it refers. concept is a minimal unit of meaning which could be called a ‘sememe’ in the same way as the unit of sound is called a ‘phoneme’ and is like the ‘morpheme h Is structure and organisation.

(ii)               The  connotative meaning. This is the additional meaning that a concept carries.

(iii)             The  social meaning: This is the meaning that a word or a phrase conveys about the circumstances of its use. That is, the meaning of a word is understood according to the different style and situation in which the word belongs to a particular situation of use ‘democilie’ is used in an official context, ‘residence’ in formal context, ‘abode’ is a poetic use and ‘home’ is an ordinary use.

(iv)              The  thematic meaning: This is the meaning which is communicated by

the way in which a speaker or writer organises the message in terms of ordering, focus  and  emphasis. It is  often  felt,  for example,  that an  active sentence  has  a different meaning from  its  passive equivalent although  its conceptual meaning seems to be the same.

Some Terms and  Distinctions in Semantics

(a) Lexical and  grammatical meaning

Lexical or word meaning is the meaning of individual lexical items.

(b) Sense and  Reference

It has been explained earlier that signs refer to concepts as well as to other signs.

(c) Sentence-meaning and  Utterance-meaning

A distinction may be drawn between, sentence-meaning and utterance-meaning.

(d) Entailment and  Presupposition

One sentence may entail other sentence—that is, include the meaning of other sentence in its meaning, just as hyponymy includes the meaning of other word.

Theories of semantics

a) Traditional Approach:

We have noted earlier that meaning was always a central concern with thinkers.

b) Analytical/Referential Approach:

Between the symbol and the object/thing there is an intervening phenomenon which is recognized as ‘the mediation of concepts of the mind’.

(c) Functional Approach

In  the year  1953  L.  Wittgenstein’s  work Philosophical Investigation  was  published. Around this time Malinowski and J.R. Firth were working to formulate the ‘operational character of scientific concepts like ‘length’, ‘time’ or ‘energy’; they tried to grasp the meaning of a word by observing the uses to which it is put instead of what is said about it.

(d) Field Theory of Meaning:

Basic to this theory is the concept that each word in a language is surrounded by a network of associations that connect it with other terms. Many of these associations are embodied in figurative language: metaphors, similes, proverbs, idioms, and the link.

Below we discuss five such major sense-relationships.

1.      Hyponymy

2.      Synonymy

3.      Antonymy

4.      Polysemy

5.      Homonymy

  

Strengthen of this article is :

Explain each sentences more clearly and easy to understand about all of meaning’s aspects in semantic.

Weakness of this article is :

There are so many examples.

Conclusion :

the researcher is really nice to compile all the datas in this article, there is essential correspondence between the sound of word and their meaning. However, this article also has the weakness which is contain so many examples to be understood.
