This study aims to analyze language errors at the semantic level in the film Negeri 5 Menara "Man Jadda Wajada" by Ahmad Fuadi. In this film, language is used as a medium to convey moral messages related to education and life motivation. However, there are several language errors that affect the clarity of the meaning communicated to the audience. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with semantic analysis, focusing on errors in word usage, both denotative and connotative meanings. Data were collected through observation of the dialogues in the film, which were then analyzed based on the semantic errors found. The results show that there are 20 language errors, including inappropriate word choices, ambiguous sentence structures, and the use of non-standard words. The correction of these errors is expected to improve communication clarity in the film and contribute to a deeper understanding of the application of proper language norms in audiovisual works. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the analysis of language errors in semantics and enhance the quality of communication in film media.

This research examines the manifestation of humanistic values in six selected short stories from Kompas in 2021-2022 as an alternative literary teaching material. The phenomenon of declining understanding of humanitarian values among students and the importance of instilling these values through literary works serve as the background for this study. The goal is to identify and analyze the representation of humanism in contemporary Indonesian literature. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis techniques. The analysis results show that the six short stories studied are rich in humanistic values such as openness, responsibility, solidarity, justice, self-sacrifice, care, and mutual assistance. The structure of a short story, including characters and setting, plays an important role in conveying those values. "The Holy Family" depicts openness, "The Three-Colored Bahar Roots" emphasizes sacrifice, "This City is a Well" explores solidarity, "About the Name of Majid Pucuk" showcases the struggle for justice, "The House that Always Smells Bad" illustrates mutual aid, and "The Fading Spark in His Eyes" highlights family care. This finding has implications for the development of more contextual literature teaching materials, encouraging a deeper understanding of humanism among students.

This study looks at the meanings of words and their context in Maya Angelou’s poem "Still I Rise." This poem is well-known for its message of strength and empowerment, especially for African American women during the civil rights movement. Using a qualitative approach, this research combines examining the text and interpreting its context. The lexical analysis looks at dictionary definitions of important words in the poem and their deeper meanings within the poem’s context. The contextual interpretation places the poem within the larger historical and cultural background of Angelou's life and the civil rights era. The findings show that Angelou’s use of language not only strengthens the poem’s themes of defiance and self-worth but also deeply connects with the socio-political climate of its time. The study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the lexical and contextual meanings of some of the lines in Angelou's literary work "Still I Rise" as well as in discussions of race, identity and empowerment.
