A Semantic Cognitive Analysis of the Conception and Emotional Implications of Cheerfulness in Indonesian Proverbs
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
This study employs Cognitive Semantics Analysis and Qualitative Methods to examine Indonesian proverbs and uncover the underlying elements of cheerfulness within them. Using a diverse corpus of Indonesian proverbs, the study scrutinizes their linguistic and cognitive structures, applying cognitive semantics theories to discern the interplay between language, culture, and emotions in the proverbs. Additionally, the study draws upon the perceptions and interpretations of native speakers to gain a holistic understanding of cheerfulness as manifested in these linguistic gems. The findings show (1) the Indonesian proverbs that describe cheerfulness often use a wide range of metaphorical expressions that draw upon sensory and embodied experiences, (2) cultural resonance underscores the shared understanding of cheerfulness within the community, highlighting its salience as a cultural value, and (3) proverbs from contemporary contexts may reflect the evolving nature of happiness and well-being in Indonesian society. The findings contribute to a deeper comprehension of Indonesian culture and language and offer valuable insights into the field of cognitive semantics. The study also facilitates cross-cultural comparisons and appreciation of the universality and linguistic manifestations of human emotions.
