denotation, connotation and implication in semantics

Hy guys.. Assalamualaykum ^^, we meet again in my blog.. Okey, this blog is the assignment for my study "semantics". This blog will explain about what is denotation, connotation and implication in semantics.. So please read it! And if it is so good you could share it.. Thank you.!



Denotation
What is denotation? Denotation is dictionary meaning of the word. Another way to think of it is as the associations that a word usually elicits for most speakers of a language, as distinguished from those elicited for any individual speaker because of personal experience.
Connotation
What is connotation? Connotation is the associated or secondary meaning. It can be something suggested or implied by a word or thing, rather than being explicitly named or described. It is important in poetry because use them to further develop or complicate a poem’s meaning.
--> Example of denotation and connotation :
1. The word "snake" simple denotes a reptile. But it has the connotation of someone who can not be trusted, someone who cheats, and/or someone who will do harm to you if they can.
2. The word “home” is just a name of structure or a shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household, but the word has connotation of a nation, a place of warmth, comfort, and affection.

CONNOTATION
Connotation comes from the Latin word “connotare,” which means, “to mark in addition. In some cases, connotation can also be similar to
symbolism as it hinges on culturally-accepted meanings.connotation is an idea that is suggested by or associated with a word. Connotation is the associated or secondary meaning. It can be something suggested or implied by a word or thing, rather than being explicitly named or described. It is important in poetry because use them to further develop or complicate a poem’s meaning..
Example of denotation and connotation :
         The word "snake" simple denotes a reptile. But it has the connotation of someone who can not be trusted, someone who cheats, and/or someone who will do harm to you if they can.
         The word “home” is just a name of structure or a shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household, but the word has connotation of a nation, a place of warmth, comfort, and affection.
         , the connotation of a red rose is love and passion, and if an author were to refer to a red rose while talking about a relationship, the reader would understand that this connotation and symbolism was at play.
          The denotation is that it is a red, wild flower. If we look at the connotations, we naturally associate a rose with Valentine's Day or romance
and courting.


Implication
What is implication? This is meaning which a speaker or writer intends but does not communicate directly. Where a listener is able to deduce or infer the intended meaning from what has been uttered, this is known as (conversational) implicature.
For example : A: We are late! à It is mean that they must quickly.



What is the difference between Denotation and Connotation?

Denotation

- It refers to the primary, literal meaning or the dictionary meaning of a word.
- Denotation is not thus classified.
- It remains the same regardless of culture and personal experiences.

Connotation

- It refers to the personal and cultural meaning in addition to their primary, literal meaning of a word.
- It can be classified as positive connotation and negative connotation.
- it can change according to culture and personal experiences.

semantics " Euphemism"

Hy guys..^^ now I will give you the summary for semantics about " Euphemism"
Okey, this is the summary..



Euphemism Definition,What is Euphemism ??Euphemism is an idiomatic expression which loses its literal meanings and refers to something else in order to hide its unpleasantness.For example, “kick the bucket” is a euphemism that describes the death of a person.Euphemism depends largely on the social context of the speakers and writers where they feel the need to replace certain words which may prove embarrassing for particular listeners or readers in a particular situation."Techniques for Creating Euphemism"         Euphemism masks a rude or impolite expression but conveys the concept clearly and politely. Several techniques are employed to create euphemism.It may be in the form of abbreviations e.g. B.O. (body odor), W.C. (toilet) etc.Foreign words may be used to replace an impolite expression e.g. faux (fake), or faux pas (foolish error) etc.Sometimes, they are abstractions e.g. before I go (before I die).       Euphemism is frequently used in everyday life. Let us look at some common euphemism examples:You are becoming a little thin on top (bald).Our teacher is in the family way (pregnant).He is always tired and emotional (drunk).We do not hire mentally challenged (stupid) people.He is a special child (disabled or retarded)."Examples of Euphemism in Literature"Example #1Examples of euphemism referring to sex are found in William Shakespeare ’s “ Othello” and “ Antony and Cleopatra ”. In “ Othello”, Act 1 Scene 1, Iago tells Brabantio:“I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.”Example #2John Donne in his poem “ The Flea ” employs euphemism. He says:“Mark but this flea, and mark in this,How little that which thou denies me is;It suck’d me first, and now sucks thee,And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.Thou know’st that this canneuphemismA sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead;Yet this enjoys before it woo,And pamper’d swells with one blood made of two;And this, alas! is more than we would do.”In order to persuade his beloved to sleep with him, the speaker in the poem tells her how a flea bit both of them and their blood got mixed in it. This is a euphemism

experience (semantics assignment)

Hi.. Perkenalkan sebelum nya nama saya siska .. Blig ini saya buat untuk menyelesaikan assignment yang diberikan oleh dosen semantics saya.. Dan tulisan pertama yang mesti saya buat disini adalah tentang pengalaman diri saya..

Oke pengalaman yang baru saya dapat kan dalam bulan ini adalah ketika Allah menguji saya dalam 2 pilihan, saat itu saya bersama beberapa teman saya di beri tugas oleh dosen saya untuk mengajar anak semester 2, sebelum saya dan teman2 saya mengajar saya dan teman saya pergi untuk makan siang saat itu jamenunjukan pukul 12:20 waktu untuk sholat zuhur tapi karena saya masih makan siang, saya putus kan untuk sholat setelah makan saja, tapi setelah makan karena efek kekenyangan akhirnya saya menunda waktu sholat saya beberapa menit lag.. Tapi jam sudah menunjukan pukul 1:00 siang. Segera saya buru2 ke mesjid karena saya akan mengajar jam sete gah 2, tapi belum sampai di mesjid tiba2 motor yang saya bawa berhenti di tengah perjalanan. Kami mulai panik karena beberapa menit lagi kami harus mengajar anak2 semester 2, akhirnya kami putuskan untuk membeli bensin dengan meminjam motor teman saya yang lain. Setelah mengisi bensin saya putuskan untuk tidak sholat dimesjid tapi dikampus saja karena waktunya sudah mepet. Akhirnya saya segera menuju kampus dan langsung mengambil wudhu di toilet kampus.. Saat saya mengambil wudhu pintu utama toilet itu terhempas krna angin, karena menurut saya itu hal yang biasa krna saya fikir pasti bisa dibuka  kembali. Tapi saya salah pintu nya terkunci sementara saya akan mengajar dan belum sholat waktu jug sudah menunjukan pukul 1:25 hanya 5 menit lagi.. Saya mengetuk pintu kuat2 dari dalam saya hampir putus asa karena tak ada yang mendatangi toilet nya.. Saya sangat panik, disisi lain saya takut nilai saya akan rendah, tapi disisi lain saya takut Allah marah dengan saya.. Saya seakan di tegur masih kah saya mau melalaikan waktu? Dan siapakah yang paling saya takuti dosen saya atau Allah swt? Saat saya merenung sejenak akhirnya pintu berhasil di buka oleh salah satu karyawan TU fakultas saya dia membuka pintu nya dengan obeng, segera saya lari ke musholla tanpa memikirkan apakah saya di marahi atau tidak yg pnting saya melaksanakan perintah yng menentukan hidup dan mati saya dahulu..
Itulahh pengalaman saya semoga bisa dipetik hikmah nya..

SYMBOL & REFERENT

1.      SYMBOL

The symbol is a linguistic element in the form of words, sentences, and so on;which refers to objects, situations, events,and so on. In the sentence "This is great".Only the word "This" is a symbol if the word "this" refers to an object, situation, event,for example a book, a shirt, and so on. The word "good" has no symbolic functionbecause the word "good" only serve phraseattitude. For Richards and Ogden words thatexpress feelings, attitudes, hopes, dreams,and so on are not included within the meaning of the symbol. These words (whichexpress the feelings, attitudes, hopes, dreams, and so on) are grouped into the "emotive language.

Symbolic language defined byRichards and Ogden is the language that matches the language of fact or facts.Meanwhile, emotive language has usefulness in the communication process togenerate the expected attitudes of others orto encourage others to act, and so on

The symbol (symbol) is a sign that the relationship between the sign and the denotatum determined by a generally accepted rule

The symbol (symbol) is a sign that the relationship between the sign and the denotatum determined by a rule that is generally applicable. Signs can be classified by causes, as disclosed Djajasudarma (1993) as follows.

1.marks caused by nature, known to man for the experience, for example: -

 Overcast day will mark the rain, -

 Persistent rain could cause flooding, -

 Flooding can cause epidemics and famine, and so on.

2.marks caused by animals, known to humans from animal sounds, such as: -

 No sign of the dogs barking in the driveway, -

 Cat fight (meow) with a lively voice no signs of disease outbreaks or commotion, and so on.

3.marks caused by human beings, this sign is distinguished by:

(1) the verbal is a sign of human-generated through the tools of speech (organ of speach) And

(2) signs that are nonverbal, used by humans to communicate, as well as verbal signs. Nonverbal sign can be distinguished by:

a.The resulting mark limbs (body gesture) Is known as sign language, for example:

 

Thumbs up means great, good, and so on. -

 Meaningful nod yes, saluting, and so on. -

 Shook his head meaningfully and not, and so on. -

 Glaring meaningful surprised, angry, and so on. -

 Pointing the finger means not understand, agree, and so on. -

 Pointing meaningful, one person, and so on.

b.sign produced by sound (voice), for example: -

 Meaningful whistling happily, calling, wanting to know, and so on. -

 Screaming meaningful pain, ask for help, there is a danger, and so forth. -

 Cleared (coughed) means no one wants to know, and so on.

2.      REFERENT

Reference is the object or something that is beyond language. If we use the symbol we refer to the referent. As quoted by Parera (1990: 43) Richards and Ogden stated it is important to find a referent in order to know whether a reference is correct or not. And if reference is true, then it refers to the fact (if a reference "hangs together" in the way the actual referent hangs together, the reference is true and Refers to a fact).
Reference is a concept or idea. In the picture above, between symbol and referent is not directly related to the marked line-breaking berputus (between language and foreign languages). Conjunction through thought or reference.

Referential relationship is a relationship that exists between a word and the outside world language that referencedthe conversation. The relationship betweenwords (symbol), meaning (the concept or
reference) and something that is referencedor referent is an indirect relationship. The relationship between these three elements,can be illustrated by the so-called triangle ofsemiotics (semiotic triangle) of Ogden andRichards (1972); Palmer (1976) as follows.

In the picture there are symbols that focuses on the word as a symbolic language. So when a written or spoken words will have meaning to refer to something beyond language. For example, we read the word 'seat' in the text. Now, we will connect it to an object that is based on our experience, never seen or used. Physical context is then called the referent. But in its development, the concept of Ogden and Richard is more suited to a noun 'concrete' and not the emotive word. Emotive words are more difficult to be understood more clearly because it was confused with the emotional, diplomatic and other disorders. For example the word industrious, good, freedom, loyalty. The term reference symbol has a meaning to language and references. For example, we could call the 'Ir. Sukarno 'or' the President of the first 'to refer to the same referent. With this example just given us a better understanding of what is meant by the reference and referent.

BERANI BERHIJRAH UNTUK MENJADI LEBIH BAIK

blog ini saya tulis untuk assignment semantics IV B from mr. Budianto Hamudin
 
Hijrah bukanlah hal yang mudah, juga bukan hal yang sulit. Karena pada hakikatnya Hijrah itu menuju cinta Allah, bukan harta apalagi karena seseorang. karena setiap amalan tergantung akan niatnya.
cerita hijrah ini saya alami sendiri, dimana saat saya berusaha untuk melangkah untuk menjadi lebih baik harus melalui tantangan batin yang kuat. Bukankah bila kita ingin menjadi yang terbaik kita harus melewati segala rintangan dahulu? awal mula saya hijrah dikarena kan saya mengikuti forum organisasi remaja mesjid dan di pertemukan oleh sebuah forum organisasi remaja mesjid lain dimana para akhwat nya menggunakan kerudung panjang nan syar'i, saya terkagum-kagum melihat mereka bahkan saat itu mereka mengajak saya untuk bersama-sama menjaga aurat. Awal nya saya hanya mencoba-coba untuk memakainya ke kampus, tapi ternyata saya belum istiqomah dan tidak kuat untuk memakainya karena kerudung yang  panjang juga panas akhirnya saya melepaskan nya dan kembali menggunakan hijab yang bisa dibilang tak sesuai syari'at, karena saya juga berfikir bahwa sikap saya juga belum seimbang dengan apa yang saya gunakan. akhirnya saya kembali menggunakan kerudung yang biasa saya gunakan dengan pakaian yang ketat membentuk lekuk tubuh, saat saya bandingkan ternyata saya merasa nyaman dengan kerudung yang panjang dan baju yang longgar. teman-teman saya satu forum juga mendukung dan memberi tahu bahawa sikap dan jilbab adalah dua hal yang jauh berbeda. sikap murni dari kita sendiri sedangkan menutup aurat murni perintah dari sang illahi dan diwajibkan. akhirnya dengan pelan tapi pasti saya BERANI BERHIJRAH berharap untuk setiap hal seperti urusan kampus, dunia maupun akhirat saya akan selalu untuk BERANI BERHIJRAH walaupun banyak tantangan yang saya alami dari tidak setujunya orang tua saya jika saya menggunakan jilbab besar, bisikan-bisikan orang yang tidak menyukai saya dan pertanyaan-pertanyaan dari orang yang membuat saya panas. tapi itu semua saya serahkan kepada Allah dan berharap semoga saya benar-benar akan mendapatkan jannah nya..
jadi jika anda ingin menjadi lebih baik anda harus mampu untuk berani berhijrah, walaupun banyak tantangan yang harus anda hadapi. tapi yakinlah sang maha penguasa tidak akan membiarkan hambanya kecewa dengan apa yang sudah direncanakannya. ^^
