Instruction:
read the text carefully and answer the Questions below
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Semantics
focusing on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and
symbols. Linguistics semantics is the study of meaning that is used for
understanding human expression through language. Semantics tried to
understanding what meaning was as an element of language and how it is
constructing by language as well as interpretation, obscured and negotiated by
speakers and listeners of language. Semantics is a highly theoretical research
perspective and looks at meaning in language in isolation, in the language it
self.
Furthermore, semantics is the study of the “toolkit” for
meaning, knowledge encoded in the vocabulary of the language and in its patterns for building more elaborate
meanings, up to the level of the sentence meanings. An understanding of
semantics is essential to the study of language acquisition, how language users
acquired a sense of meaning, as speakers and writers, listeners and readers and
of language change, how meanings alter over time. It is important for
understanding language in social contexts, as these are likely to affect
meaning, and for understanding varieties of English and effects of style. It is
thus one of the most fundamental concepts in linguistics.
In fact: semantics is one of the main branches of
contemporary linguistics. It is one of pure linguistics branches. The study of
semantics included the study of how meaning is constructed, interpreted,
clarified, obscured, illustrated, simplified negotiated, contradicted and
paraphrased. Semantics looks for general rules that bring out the relationship
between forms, which is the observed arrangement of words in sentences and
meaning. All people necessarily interested in meaning. Wonder about the meaning
of a new word is human nature. Sometimes is hard to ensure the message from
such kind of reading and listening as well as concerned about getting the own
messages across the others. Finding pleasure in jokes, which often depend for
the humor on double meanings of words or ambiguities in the sentences.
Here, the researcher would like to apply English proverbs
through semantics point of view. Proverbs are short message of good advice.
Some tell us how to act, while others make a general statement from which we
can learn something. Moreover, Proverbs are short expressions of popular
wisdom. Proverbs are short and pithy sayings that express some traditionally
held truth. They are usually metaphorical and often: for the sake of
alliterative. And, as so many proverbs offer advice and uplift, many f them are
religious in origin. Proverbs is one of the interesting studies to apply
through semantics view. Thus, the researcher would like to conducted the
correlation research on correlating students’ ability in semantics and their
ability to appreciate English proverbs.
Regards to the syllabus got from the semantics lecturer, the
students’ should be able to understanding proverbs as one of subfields in
semantics. They are targeted to get the meaning
Even
appreciate English proverbs. Afterward, there are some phenomena are faced by
the students in semantics class which indicate semantics is very totally hard.
First of all, students are difficult to understand what semantics is. They are
still perplexed to distinguish semantics and other sub discipline of
linguistics. Furthermore, the students were difficult obtained the meaning of
certain words on semantics view. Students often give meaning on students are so
quiet difficult to understand and explain the English proverbs through
semantics view because proverbs merely use the expression language that the
students rarely hear. They are difficults to get the meaning of proverbs as the
requirements of semantics studies.
Researching
the students’ comprehending toward English proverbs is really excited but
challenging. Because not all of the students familiar with the terms also all
highs beyond English proverbs. Thus, the delightfully researcher are to
research the students’ ability in appreciating English proverbs surely after
they have proverbs meeting. To ensure whether they understand it or not, the
researcher is going to prove it by conducting correlation research which use
two variables. Therefore, the researcher is going to conduct correlation research
entitled “The students’ to Appreciate Famous English Proverbs”. The researcher
will carried out the researchs at the seventh semester of English Department in
Lancang Kuning of University.

Analysis is a method or procedure used by the researchers and teachers which

exist in the sample, describing those errors, classifying hem according to
their nature and causes, and evaluating their seriousness.
