Analisis Makna Tradisi Lisan Di Tasikmalaya

This research is motivated by the rich and meaningful oral traditions in the city of Tasikmalaya. The aim of this study is to uncover the implicit and explicit meanings behind popular oral traditions in Tasikmalaya. The method employed in this research is the historical method, consisting of heuristics (searching and collecting sources), criticism (internal and external criticism), interpretation, and historiography. The research objects include the Manuscript Amanat Galunggung, the Sawer Tradition, Ambu Hawuk, and the Ki Rangga Gading fairy tale. Data collection was conducted through literature or library studies. The findings of the research reveal that oral traditions such as the Amanat Galunggung Manuscript, Sawer Panganten, Ambu Hawuk, and the Ki Rangga Gading fairy tale provide a profound understanding of moral values, advice or counsel, teachings of life, and the origins of place names in the context of Sundanese culture. This research is beneficial in providing in-depth insights into Sundanese culture, particularly oral traditions. Additionally, it contributes to the fields of knowledge, moral education, and cultural preservation

What are Social Imaginaries?: A Pathway Through the Labyrinth

Abstract This essay charts a pathway through the labyrinth of social imaginaries. It enters into hermeneutic engagement with Castoriadis, Ricoeur, Taylor, and Arnason to outline a framework that elucidates social imaginaries in relation to social creativity, meaning, action, institutions, and the world horizon. It first situates “imaginaries” within a theory of culture. This section addresses the world as a background horizon of implicit meanings; imaginary significations as world creating; the interpretative aspect of creation; and the symbolic as a bridge between culture and society. The second section addresses the ‘social’ of social imaginaries. It highlights the social-historical as the impersonal dimension of society, and institutions and modes of social doing in which social imaginaries are incarnated. It identifies three varieties of doing: movement, social practices, and social praxis. It draws on the metaphor of the hermeneutic spiral to grasp social imaginaries in their dynamic movement of interpretation and creation.

Transitivity in Pope Francis’ Speech in Morocco: A Systemic Functional Linguistic Analysis

The way we speak and the words we choose to convey a certain message are not neutral. They are overloaded with certain meanings that represent our worldview, namely when delivered by most influential people like religious leaders and used in contexts which are ideologically constructed like that of the speech of Pope Francis with his symbolic power and role in religious diplomacy. The main aim of this study is to investigate the construction of experiential meanings in Pope Francis' historical speech during his apostolic journey to Morocco on March 19, 2019, by examining the specific linguistic choices employed. This study employs the transitivity model within the framework of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) as its theoretical foundation for analysis. Precisely, using quantitative analysis, this paper endeavors to address two key questions: Firstly, what distributions and patterns of transitivity has Pope Francis utilized in constructing experiential meanings in his speech in Morocco? Second, what functions do the transitivity processes and each participant involved have in the delivered speech text, aiding the speaker in conveying their intention? The dataset comprises 182 clauses extracted from the aforementioned speech. The results of this study showed that Pope Francis employed six types of transitivity processes, totaling 186 processes. Yet, material processes, constituting 62%, and mental processes, comprising 15%, were identified as dominant, suggesting their significant roles in conveying vibrant information in his speech that aimed to enhance dialogue and foster friendly relations between Catholicism and Islam, promoting cooperation in the construction and establishment of a world characterized by sincere, courageous, and essential collaboration. The findings therefore indicate that transitivity choices play a crucial role in conveying implicit meanings.

The city in film: Reading Dhobi Ghat and Island City as cinematic representations of Mumbai

Urban spaces harbour the capacity to embody varied social relations that constantly interact to form lived experiences. As the society has gradually transformed from a collection of rural settlements to a largely metropolitan space, urban fiction as a literary genre set in city landscapes has become increasingly popular. In a century dominated by new media technologies, the changing contours of contemporary societies became widely visible in the images and interpretations available through cinema. Cinema as one of the predominant modes of cultural expressions has played a performative role in encapsulating the changing lifestyles, attitudes and landscapes. The city as a mosaic of complexity, diversity and contradictions has consequently become an inseparable part of the world’s largest film industry – Bollywood. The Indian megacity of Mumbai has thus become a site of ‘glocal’ interconnections and polyphonic voices. Not only has the city contributed to the production and dissemination of films, but its increased influence has also allowed it to feature as a ‘character’ in many films. This article seeks to evaluate select cinematic narratives to foreground the living realities of the megacity of Mumbai. While examining the representation of Mumbai in two films released post-2010 – Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries) and Island City, the article intends to interpret the implicit and explicit meanings in the cinematic language of these films. It seeks to argue that cinematic representations of Mumbai help to characterize ways of perceiving the city as a complex, multi-layered urban text. Rather than visualizing the city as an empty space that simply holds the narrative together, the article aims to show how cities in films become characters themselves, engulfing those of flesh and bone.

Хтоническая космология в эпитафии Георгия Акрополита на смерть императора Иоанна III Дуки Ватаца

Introduction. The article critically examines the epitaph of George Akropolites on the death of Emperor Johannes III Ducas Vatatzes. The Epitaph of George Akropolites is a remarkable example of Byzantine rhetoric. The highly educated Byzantine author, proud of his splendid education and skillful rhetorician, fully expressed in this work his knowledge of ancient topics and biblical aesthetics. Methods and materials. The article is written in the context of hermeneutic methodology. We assume that the epitaph of George Akropolites requires a deeper interpretation, which will help to reveal the implicit meanings hidden in the text of George Akropolites. Analysis. First, in the epitaph of George Akropolites, Charon is synonymous with death. This is not an ancient reminiscence, as it may seem, but a popular character of the Acritic folklore of the 9th – 11th centuries, popular among the military class. Akropolites would soon become acquainted with this class, becoming praetor in 1256, when he would be extremely unsuccessful in commanding an army in western Macedonia. Secondly, it is worthwhile to look closely, following K. Praechter, at the expression of George Akropolites “the emperor became the paranáloma of Charon”. In our opinion, paranáloma is an extremely interesting word that takes us into the archaic and chthonic world and presents George Akropolites as a remarkable connoisseur of a wide variety of philosophical and medical texts, particularly the Neoplatonic writings of John Philoponus (c. 480–570) and Simplicianus of Cilicia (c. 490–560). Results. In summary, we have before us a whole literary tradition revolving around a natural-philosophical reading of the folkloric underworld and Charon, which gives for George Akropolites a large stock of metaphors and an opportunity to show his education.

Implying and Suggesting: A Critical Stylistic Study of Gender Identity Crisis in Ebershoff's The Danish Girl

The paper attempts to portray a critical stylistic analysis of gender identity crisis as an ideology. Ginder identity crisis means a sense of conflict inside an individual as a result of mismatch between his/her biological sex and his/her gender identity. Selected passages from David Ebershoff' The Danish Girl (2000), are the data of the analysis. The novel talks about (Einar) who becomes unaware about his real gender. This sense of Einar occurs when his wife (Greta) asks him repeatedly to put on Anna's dress, a famous opera singer, whom Greta used to paint. The selected data presents Einar's suffering when he starts to believe that he has feminine features inside his body. The aim is to examine critically the language and to investigate the conceptual meaning of the terms in use. Further, the aim is to reveal the implicit meaning of the linguistic expressions that the writer has selected to reflect ginder identity crisis in (Einar). In such analysis, a tool which is taken from Jeffries' approach (2010) named "Implying and Assuming" is used. The stylistic features and technical terminology are presented in relation to the textual practices of implying and assuming. The results may provide social and psychological impacts on the novel's readers.

The Verbal Irony found in English Novel “Twilight”

Talking irony as one of the figures of speech has been commonly discussed not only in daily conversation but also in social media, contemporary fiction, and different works of literature. However, the study of irony itself is not widely discussed in the novel. This study aims to find the verbal irony that occurs in the novel and in what situations it occurs. The data were taken from the novel “Twilight” written by Stephenie Meyer. The theory is adapted from Winokur (2007) about the definition of verbal irony. This study uses a qualitative approach and data are collected by note-taking and classified into the types of irony. The findings of this study, there are 14 data of verbal irony occur in this study. This study also found that the ironic criticism in the novel appears to minimize the negative meaning of the message. So, it may reduce the level of criticism for the addressee to save face. Explaining Verbal Irony in the Novel is really different from what we communicate in real situations. We have to read the whole text to find the implicit meaning of the irony. For the next study, we can analyze the comparison between irony and humor in literary work, such as novels to have more sight into those signals.

SNOMED CT and Basic Formal Ontology – convergence or contradiction between standards? The case of “clinical finding”

Background: SNOMED CT is a large terminology system designed to represent all aspects of healthcare. Its current form and content result from decades of bottom-up evolution. Due to SNOMED CT’s formal descriptions, it can be considered an ontology. The Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is a foundational ontology that proposes a small set of disjoint, hierarchically ordered classes, supported by relations and axioms. In contrast, as a typical top-down endeavor, BFO was designed as a foundational framework for domain ontologies in the natural sciences and related disciplines. Whereas it is mostly assumed that domain ontologies should be created as extensions of foundational ontologies, a post-hoc harmonization of consolidated domain ontologies in use, such as SNOMED CT, is known to be challenging. Methods: We explored the feasibility of harmonizing SNOMED CT with BFO, with a focus on the SNOMED CT Clinical Finding hierarchy. With more than 100,000 classes, it accounts for about one third of SNOMED CT’s content. In particular, we represented typical SNOMED CT finding/disorder concepts using description logics under BFO. Three representational patterns were created and the logical entailments analyzed. Results: Under a first scrutiny, the clinical intuition that diseases, disorders, signs and symptoms form a homogeneous ontological upper-level class appeared incompatible with BFO’s upper-level distinction into continuants and occurrents. The Clinical finding class seemed to be an umbrella for all kinds of entities of clinical interest, such as material entities, processes, states, dispositions, and qualities. This suggests the conclusion that Clinical finding would not be a suitable upper-level class from an BFO perspective. On closer inspection of the taxonomic links within this hierarchy and the implicit meaning derived thereof, it became clear that Clinical finding classes do not characterize the entity (e.g. a fracture, allergy, tumor, pain, hemorrhage, seizure, fever) in a literal sense but rather the condition of a patient having that fracture, allergy, pain etc. This gives sense to the current characteristic of the Clinical Finding hierarchy, in which complex classes are modeled as subclasses of their constituents. Most of these taxonomic links are inferred, as the consequence of the ‘role group’ design pattern, which is ubiquitous in SNOMED CT and has often been subject of controversy regarding its semantics. Conclusion: Our analyses resulted in the proposal of (i) equating SNOMED CT’s ‘role group’ property with the reflexive and transitive BFO relation ‘has occurrent part’; and (ii) reinterpreting Clinical Findings as Clinical Occurrents, i.e. temporally extended entities in an organism, having one or more occurrents as temporal parts that occur in continuants. This re-interpretation was corroborated by a manual analysis of classes under Clinical Finding, as well as the identification of similar modeling patterns in other ontologies. As a result, SNOMED CT does not require any content redesign to establish compatibility with BFO, apart from this re-interpretation, and a suggested re-labeling. Regarding the feasibility of harmonizing terminologies with principled foundational ontologies post-hoc, our results provide support to the assumption that this does not necessarily require major redesign efforts, but rather a careful analysis of the implicit assumptions of terminology curators and users.

Language directs spatial attention differently in explicit and implicit tasks.

How do words with either explicit or implicit spatial meanings (e.g., DOWN, BOOT) shift our attention? Recent studies, presenting prime words followed by probe targets, suggested that, for implicit spatial words, both the spatial meaning of prime words and the target locations must be processed to induce congruency benefits. Here we examined the functional necessity of the latter location component. 91 healthy adults discriminated target letters that followed explicit or implicit spatial words. Words either did or did not have to be semantically processed. Target discrimination speed was used to compute congruency benefits. With explicit prime words, spatial congruency effects emerged without semantic processing instructions. In contrast, with implicit prime words, only instructing their semantic processing ensured a congruency benefit. This shows that, for implicit spatial words, spatial processing of target locations is not necessary; instead, processing the spatial connotation of the prime, together with the identity of the target, can induce congruency benefits. Our results help to understand previous conflicting findings.

How Does the Community of Students Interpret Statements and Attitudes of Teachers Considering the Hidden Curriculum: A Qualitative Study

Objectives: This study aimed at identifying the content of implicit messages conveyed by female teachers to their female students. Methods: The ethnographic qualitative approach was used to achieve the goals of the study. Fifteen audio recorded class sessions of four teachers teaching the 9th or 10th grades at a certain public school were observed. The four teachers and six students of the observed teachers were also interviewed. The validity and reliability of the obtained data were verified. Results: The study showed several implicit messages conveyed by teachers to their students, such as respect of law, care for cleanliness, and respect of points of view of others. Some other hidden messages are negative; being not so strict about their attendance of classes, when they do not commit themselves to the time of a class, and when they underline certain subjects in the curriculum as being more important than others. The students interpret these messages in two directions, one of them the desire of the female teachers to win the students’ approval and affection and to draw the students closer to them, on the other hand female teachers’ desire to impose their control over the students, and to warn the students that the power and decision returns to the teacher. Conclusions: The teacher's clear message, student reception, and understanding is vital for successful teaching. Differences in message interpretation affect student interaction and acceptance. Teachers must be mindful of implicit meanings and students' interpretations to maintain clear communication and participation.

Comparing explicit and implicit ensemble perception: 3 stimulus variables and 3 presentation modes

Visual scenes are too complex for one to immediately perceive all their details. As suggested by Gestalt psychologists, grouping similar scene elements and perceiving their summary statistics provides one shortcut for evaluating scene gist. Perceiving ensemble statistics overcomes processing, attention, and memory limits, facilitating higher-order scene understanding. Ensemble perception spans simple/complex dimensions (circle size, face emotion), including various statistics (mean, range), and inherently spans space and/or time, when sets are presented scattered across the visual scene, and/or sequentially in rapid series. Furthermore, ensemble perception occurs explicitly, when observers are asked to judge set mean, and also automatically/implicitly, when observers are engaged in an orthogonal task. We now study relationships among these ensemble-perception phenomena, testing explicit and implicit ensemble perception; for sets varying in circle size, line orientation, or disc brightness; and with spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal presentation. Following ensemble set presentation, observers were asked if a test image, or which of two test images, had been present in the set. Confirming previous results, responses reflected implicit mean perception, depending on test image distance from the mean, and on its being within or outside ensemble range. Subsequent experiments asked the same observers to explicitly judge whether test images were larger, more clockwise, or brighter than the set mean, or which of two test images was closer to the mean. Comparing implicit and explicit mean perception, we find that explicit ensemble averaging is more precise than implicit mean perception—for each ensemble variable and presentation mode. Implications are discussed regarding possible separate mechanisms for explicit versus implicit ensemble perception.

Constructing socio-scientific issue literacy through comics in learning apperception for elementary school students

This study explores the role of comics in constructing socio-scientific literacy among elementary school students. Through content analysis of conversations between teachers and students, we examined the sources of information in comics, including text, images, multimodal interaction and implicit meaning. Our findings revealed that students rely on more than just explicit information from text and images; they also engage in multimodal interaction, combining visual and textual elements, and interpret implicit meanings within the comics’ narratives. The design of the comics influences the distribution of information, with comic strips providing substantial explicit content and comics with minimal text emphasizing visual elements. Additionally, mathematical representations, such as bar charts, are incorporated to enhance students’ statistical and scientific inquiry literacy. These findings highlighted the potential of comics as effective educational resources for promoting socio-scientific literacy, fostering critical thinking skills and empowering students to engage with complex socio-scientific issues. Educators and researchers can utilize these insights to design educational comics that engage students and facilitate the construction of socio-scientific literacy, ultimately equipping them with the skills to navigate real-world challenges. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of comics on students’ knowledge retention and decision-making skills.

Structuration des sens dans l’espace textuel: les aspects cognitifs lexicaux et cognitifs synergiques

The article presents the results of cognitive-synergetic and lexicological research of the meaning formed in the text. The research is based on the “meaning and sense” dichotomy of cognitive lexicology, as well as cognitive semantics position on the close connection of cognition and communication, relying on the principle of multilevel analysis, the unity of language and speech. The unity of cognition and communication manifests in the need to examine text meanings within a cognitive-discursive paradigm, which allows analyzing the dialogue between the author and reader, mediated by the text. It is in the process of interaction between the author (addresser) and reader (recipient) that the author’s ideas (intentions), as well as various shades of the author’s modality meaning, are transmitted, and new senses come forth in the course of the reader’s interpretation of the narrative. The paper used a combination of cognitive-synergetic methods (discursive, conceptual, interpretive methods, fractal analysis, conceptual integration, and associative experiment). The purpose of the study is to identify the meanings of the author’s and reader’s fields in the text semantic space, to determine their types and to analyze the ways of their formation. The article considers three main meaning formation models based on the analysis of the literary text semantic space of I. Esenberlin’s novel “Nomads”: 1) the author’s meaning model; 2) a model of the meaning formed in the reader’s interpretative activity; 3) invariant meaning, formed in the recipient’s mind as different from the author’s. The author shows that the processability of meanings, i.e., that they generate new meanings in the discursive activity of the author and the reader, is common to all these models. The article also focuses on cognitive integration, when the reader’s sense is formed by taking into account social factors of other eras, the new assessment and the development of the author’s text meaning from modern positions. The novelty of the conducted research lies in the fact that, for the first time, an attempt is made to identify and describe the author’s and reader’s meanings, formed in the context both of the historical period and current times, based on the material of a literary text. In addition, the novelty of the research consists of the author’s attempt to apply a cognitive-synergetic approach to the analysis of the text semantic space. This approach is used in the process of analyzing the discourses of the author and the reader, aimed at the formation of various types of meanings (conveying the author’s ideas and evaluation of implicit meanings in the reader’s perception). As a result of the analysis, it was established that the semantic space of the text is a dynamic field in which various meanings generated by the author and the reader interact. In order to review them, a set of methods were used to unfold new word meanings in the text.

UNRAVELLING THE VISION OF PEACE AND UNITY A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF JOHN LENNON'S IMAGINE

This research investigates the iconic and timeless masterpiece song "Imagine" by John Lennon, seeking to unravel the profound messages and ideologies that lie beneath its evocative lyrics for peace, unity, and social change. The study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Teun A. van Dijk to conduct a comprehensive analysis of macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure of the song. This research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing content analysis and thematic analysis to explore the meanings and messages conveyed in the lyrics. Content analysis is employed to examine the explicit messages and themes presented in the song, while thematic analysis delves into the implicit meanings and underlying ideologies. This study finds that in the level of macrostructure, the vision of a utopian world free from religious, national, and materialistic barriers emerges as the central message, emphasizing the value and dignity of every individual. The superstructure analysis delves into the construction of the song's elements and their cohesive arrangement, highlighting its universal appeal and global consciousness to participate actively in creating positive change to build a better world. The microstructure analysis investigates the nuanced meanings conveyed by specific linguistic elements, such as rhetorical devices, lexical choices, emotive language, and direct address. Beyond its explicit messages, "Imagine" serves as a critique of societal constructs that perpetuate divisions and inequalities, challenging listeners to imagine alternative ways of organizing society based on compassion and shared humanity.

The ways of representing hidden meanings in English-language fiction discourse

The article attempts to justify the expediency of linguistic research’ direction that reveals the pragmatic qualities and cognitive basis of different types of implicit speech in English-language fiction discourse. Latent meanings in fiction text/discourse have repeatedly been the subject of research. The totality of implicit speech’ types and researched on the means that actualize it is identified. Referring the methods of cognitive linguistics, the pragmatic potential of speech means for the expression of the hidden meaning is illustrated by the prose English-language texts. The aim of this article was to identify the totality of the types of implicit speech and research on the means that actualize it in English-language fiction discourse. In this researching work, we analyzed such speech means of expressing implicit meanings as: a specific use of idioms, i.e., hints, additional nuances of meaning. Observing how innuendo is used can provide some insight into the speaker's goal when he or she chooses that discourse strategy. In conclusion, it is noticed that the hidden meaning, e.g., in the presence of an additional metaphorical transfer, may require a great deal of cognitive effort from the reader. We proved that the hint is characterized by a wealth of implicit potential.

Phaya: The Role and Communication on Social Media Area

This research article was part of the Phaya research study on the roles and communication in social media space, with the aims of studying the role and communication of the Phaya on social media by focusing on 1) Facebook, 2) YouTube, and 3) Instagram. Methods of documentary and field data collection were utilized. Surveys, observational forms, interviews, and focus groups were the instruments used in this study. The 30 participants were from knowledge groups, practitioner groups, and corresponding groups. Photographs were used to provide descriptive data for the analysis. The results showed that the Phaya's role and communication on the social media space were carried out in four processes: 1) continuing processes and outcomes of transmitting both direct and implicit meanings of the Phaya on the social space. As a questioner, the researchers discovered a method of asking philosophical questions and questions about social events, 2) the continuing process and outcomes of direct and meaningful contact, and the implications of the Phaya that appears on the social space as a claimant. Consequently, the process of advocating for justice, love, unity, and becoming the Isaan (Thai's northern dialect) began. Social capital was developed as a powerful "media" of the Isaanism as a result of communication, and 3) the ongoing process and the result of communication, both in direct and indirect meaning. As a guide, there was a process of moral guidance, socialization, and local cultural education. As a result of communication, there was identity creation, awareness, and life value creation, along with maintaining the norms of the Isaan society, and 4) continuous processes and communication outcomes, both directly and indirectly, as well as the Phaya implications that surface on the sympathetic space of being speak and explain. Thus, the process of presenting the social and cultural aspects of the northeastern area, in which the content was related to both past and contemporary settings, appears straightforward, modern, and appropriate. The monologue resulted in the comprehension of the essence and awareness of the issue. And there was a learning experience in your spare time, in which the knowledge gained may be utilized to conserve, distribute, and further produce acceptable the Phaya literature for the future maturity.

Çok Çalışma Etiğinde Anilik: Robert Fox’un “A Fable” Adlı Kısa Kısa Hikâyesi

This article highlights that individuals make sudden decisions in their rushing world that has hard work ethic in itself. Fables have moral lessons as in Robert Fox’s “A Fable” short short story. This article concerns the tendency of hard work ethic to earn money by conforming to the rat-race of living. It analyzes a short short story in which the American Dream is hidden in this rushing world. The reality of the pursuit of American Dream of success is quite different. It does not bring success for everyone all the time. “A Fable” is quite extraordinary: Having the setting of the subway, it depicts the hastiness of working life in which individuals become like a machine to work hard. As they intend to earn their living by working hard, they ultimately aspire to become a wealthy individual. Although this short short story is quite short it has a semantic depth in which there are implicit meanings in the written text. Flowing life on the subway has optimistic outlook. Similar to the other individuals in Manhattan, these individuals pursue the wish of actualizing the myth of the American Dream to have success and become wealthy through their hard work. However, they ultimately notice that they actualize most of the things opposite to the American Dream of success in their lives.

Implicit Meaning and Gender Ideologies in Interwar Good Housekeeping Magazine

ABSTRACT This essay adopts a Critical Stylistic approach to uncover the linguistic mechanisms of implicit, (counter-)ideological meaning in the female-targeted periodical Good Housekeeping during the interwar period, and chiefly in its “Household Engineering” article series, where a complex discourse of modern housewifery, based on expert advice and industrial rationalisation, was shaped and negotiated through a rhetoric of scientific management and efficiency. In particular, this study investigates the discursive construction of the pervasive image of the female professional homemaker interested in the latest technological methods and innovations, by considering the role played by implicit meaning in shaping feminine roles and dominant gender ideologies. A Critical Stylistic analysis of presupposition and implicature in Good Housekeeping featured articles shows how these strategies reveal implicitly construed ideologies of womanhood, and particularly the way in which the magazine adopted linguistic devices to accommodate modern ideals of femininity without rejecting more traditional ones.

Perspective-taking in deriving implicatures: The listener's perspective is important too

Theories of meaning propose that listeners understand a speaker's implicit meaning thanks to mutually assumed norms of conversation that take into account what the speaker has said, as well as contextual factors, including what the speaker knows. Emerging psycholinguistic research shows that listeners derive a particular kind of implicit meaning, quantity implicatures, when their speaker is knowledgeable about the situation but tend to not derive it otherwise. In this article we focus on if and how listeners use the knowledge that is available only to themselves, i.e., the listener's perspective, while deriving implicatures. To do so, we explore the derivation of ad hoc quantity implicature in situations where the speaker does or does not have full knowledge, while, in the latter case, the listener has two types of privileged knowledge. Two versions of a study with neurotypical English-speaking adults show that listeners are influenced by their own perspective while deriving implicatures, depending on the type of knowledge available to them. We discuss the implications of these findings for models of pragmatic interpretative strategies.

Digital Micro Visualization Of Movements Through Motion Capture: A Case Study Of Joget Serampang Laut

Motion capture technology also known as MoCap is one the important and leading technology in the process of capturing, recording and digitizing a significant movement. It gives a high accuracy of movement information, high degree freedom in movement and high flexibility in the captured physical movement. A wide range of research uses motion capture technology to gather data and to create a new finding in sport, medical and military purposes to improve human activities. Recently, in the area of performing arts, a number of research has used this technology, especially to capture the movement of traditional dance and traditional martial art as a platform of perseveration, documentation, archiving and interactive learning material purposes. This paper was executed using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methodology. Interviews and literature reviews were used to expose the rich diversity of three elements: Joget Serampang Laut, art biomechanics and motion capture technology. On the other hand, 21 joint of art biomechanics and 42 set of optical tracking passive markers were placed on the dancer to record the dance routine of Joget Serampang Laut in a motion capture laboratory that used eight (8) unit Osprey digital motion capture camera. Cortex Analysis software was used as a form of data analysis instrument. The findings of the research included motion capture technology as an effective tool for synthesizing time-based trajectory information into single frame, time-independent images that contained useful information about movements and gestures. Micro visual images can be essential as a metaphor for human experience since it provides objective representation that informs human perception and stimulates interpretations. At the end of the research, micro visual can be a communicative content related to bodyline that contains implicit meaning. The gestural representation may be understood in a experiential or cultural denotation and connotation that can holistically benefit and enhance the cultural values.
