INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Problem

Language plays a key role in all aspects of human life as it means of communication. Language is used to provide information, ask others to do certain things, as means to express feelings, moods, ideas and experiences to others. Sapir

(1921: 7) states that language is a purely human and noninstinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions, and desires to use voluntarily produced symbol systems.

According to the World Economic Forum report at Davos 2019, the world's population currently reaches 7.7 million. English is the official language of several major countries, and based on data it is estimated that the number of people in the world who use English as a medium to communicate about 1.5 billion people, for more details can be seen in picture 1.1 below:

In addition, English is compared to Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and

Spanish. It is the one of the languages used by the United Nations Organization

(UN). The correct interpretation and translation of these six languages, both in spoken and written form, it is of great importance to the Organization of the

United Nations, as it allows for interaction and communication amongst members that are clear on issues of global importance.

According to data reported by w3techs.com in 2018, English is the most widely used language on the internet that is equal to 51.6%, followed by Russian

6.6%, Japan 5.6%, Spain 5.1%

(https://w3techs.com, accessed on November 18, 2018)

Today, it is widely believed that English is an international language or a global language. There is no official definition of "international" or "global" language, but basically refers to internationally learned and spoken language. It is not only characterized by the number of native speakers and their second

3

language, but also by its geographical location, distribution, and use in international organizations and in diplomatic relations. (Mastin: 2011)

English as an international language acts as a "lingua franca", a common language that allows people of different backgrounds and ethnicities to communicate on a more or less equal basis. Therefore, English in the center of such an international activity by itself will have a global status. (Crystal David,

2003: 10)

Considerations as International language, English proved widely used by a number of international and domestic airplane company operating in Indonesia to conduct marketing activities. Advertising and sales promotion activities choose to use English slogans using offline media (brochure, pamphlet, newspaper, magazine, banner, TV, radio) slogans are usually rarely installed on the fuselage and also use media online via internet websites to communicate messages, convince, and also remind customers of their products / services. English slogan can be regarded as a series of short words in English that are generally interesting and memorable, serves to influence the audience as desired slogan maker.

According to Guy Cook (1998: 106) the slogan used by companies that sell products with the aim of attracting consumers to buy their products. In addition, the company chose to use the acttractive words and image though for the customer or audience, for example: low-cost international Air Asia

Airlines with English slogan "Now every one can fly". Whereas domestic low- cost Lion Air with English slogan "We make people fly".

According to Graddol (2006: 44) sometimes people misunderstand what it means in English itself that has a uniqueness in realizing the meaning contained in the slogan, so that English is often used as slogans for Airplane companies.

However, the meaning contained in an English slogan is not directly understood only by reading or listening because the language used is different from English used in general.

The meanings contained in the writings of English slogans are closely related to semantics. Chaer (1990: 6) said that the object of semantic study is the meaning of language. Again, the meaning of language units such as words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and discourses. Stephen Ulman (2014: 65) stated that meaning is the most ambiguous and most controversial term in the language.

Ambiguity in terms of semantic (meaning) overview on sentences or phrases in English slogans are likely to occur because they are so designed by the

English slogan's maker. There is any impact if the target or audience has difficulty in capturing or understanding the meaning of the contained in the English slogan, meaning that the English slogan's message is not understood by the audience or in other words the purpose of creating the English slogan ineffective.

In this study the researcher will be focused and completed on a number of

English slogans of airplane companies operating in Indonesia using theory of meaning (Leech, 1981: 23) there are 7 types of meanings. Before carrying out the actual research, the researcher conducted a preliminary study intensif which was to get a job that made it possible to be clear and focus in its position (Sugiyono,

2018: 53), the researcher had conducted preliminary research to find information

5

on interviews for several informants, namely 10 students to be sampled comprise :

5 people English Literature students from Al Ghifari University and 5 people

Management students from STIE STEMBI Bandung (Appendix 1). The following data are the results of preliminary research that the researcher did as in table 1.2

Table 1.2 Preliminary Research

No Answer Options Statement Agree Percentage Disagree Percentage 1 Do you agree with the 8 80 % 2 20 % following statement that the good phrases in English airplane company slogans can be an effective advertising objective to inform the consumers. 2 Do you agree with the 5 50 % 5 50 % following statement that the good phrases in English airplane company slogans can be an effective advertising objective to persuade the consumers. 3 Do you agree with the following statement that the 5 50 % 5 50 % good phrases in English airplane company slogans can be an effective advertising objectiveto remind the consumers.

Based on the preliminary research results, showed that the informants 80% agreed to the statement that English airplane company slogans is an effective advertising objective to inform the consumers, while the informant disagreed to

6

the statement is 20%. Furthermore, the informant 50% agreed to the statement that

English airplane company slogans is an effective advertising objectivefor the company to persuade the consumers, and 50% informants disagreed with the statement. In the same way, the informant 50% agreed to the statement English airplane company slogans is an effective advertising objective to remind the company to consumers, and 50% informants disagreed.

Preliminary research will clarify the English airplane company slogans is an effective advertising objective to inform, persuade and remind consumers.

Currently there are large airplane companies in Indonesia do not use English slogans to advertise the company's products. In the preliminary study also conducted with literature study to sort out companies that can only use the English slogan. The number of airplane companies in using to the English slogan can give good influence but the other side to improve the company performance, for example: Sriwijaya Air with English Slogan “ Your Flying Partner”.

Currently, the number of companies in doing marketing communication activities still use the advertising activities by creating English slogan. The role of

English slogan here as a good advertising objective to inform, persuade and remind for customers to the company. In this study the researcher wants to analyze the English slogan changed based on semantic meaning on the phrase or sentence in the airplane slogan. Therefore the title of this study is "The Meaning in English Airplane Company Slogans : Semantic Studies".

1.2 Identification of Problem

Based on the description of the background of problem and the phenomenon of the research, the researcher can identify the problem as follows.

1. What is the meaning of each English slogan of international and domestic

airplane companies in semantic study?

2. What is the purpose of each English slogan of international and domestic

airplane companies in semantic study?

1.3 Research Objectives

1. To know the meaning of each English slogan of international and

domestic airplane companies in semantic study.

2. To know is the purpose of each English slogan of international and

domestic airplane companies in semantic study.

1.4 Research Significances

Academically, this research is expected to increase knowledge about the meaning of words, phrases and sentences in English slogans, especially in the aviation industry. The results of this study are expected to be also useful for knowing the meaning of English slogans in semantic study that are usually ambiguous, so that readers can find out the meaning and message contained in the

English slogan clearly.

Practically, this research is expected to be clarify the understanding of other researchers and readers regarding the presumption and meaning of the English

8

slogan and also to be a reference material for the practitioners of Marketing and

Sales.

1.5 Conceptual Frame Work

In principle, the frame of thinking put forward some arguments, laws, theories relevant to the problems studied, so as to bring up the assumptions..

Sugiyono (2018: 91) suggests that the frame of thinking explains the theoretical link between the variables to be studied. Based on the above explanation, the scheme can be created as shown in Picture 1.2 below.

LITERARY REVIEW

2.1 Previous Research

In this study the researcher used previous research as a reference to solve it.

Previous research makes it easier for researcher to define systematic steps for the preparation of research in terms of theory and concepts. The clarity of direction, originality, and usefulness of a research that will be done will be obvious if able to deeply explore some of the previous research findings related to others. The previous research is used as a reference to facilitate researchers in creating this study.

In connection with this, then this section will be presented some previous research results associated with the slogan and semantics studies. The researcher found five previous researches that related to semantics analysis. It is used to avoid similiarity with this research.

The first research is from Mehwish Noor, Raza-e-Mustafa, Fakharh

Muhabat, Bahram (2014) conducted a research which is entitled “The Language of TV Commercials’ Slogans: A Semantic Analysis”. The study focuses on the analysis of linguistic tools used by the copywriters of TV commercials to influence the target audience. Leech’s (1981) associative meaning with its sub- types provide a theoretical basis to the study. The research displays multiple strategies used by the copywriters.

10

The researcher conclude that the language of TV Commercial slogans has been found very rich in its semantic underpinning. The underlying mechanisms of meaning making and interpreting processes depend uponvarious strategies used by the copywriters. The comprehension of encoding and decoding the language becomes easy as well as interesting with the application of Leech’s Associative meaning and its sub-types.

The second research, Murtala Ibrahim (2015) conducted a research which is entitled “Semantic Analysis of Language Advertisement in Daily Trust and

Vanguard Newspaper”. The study investigated in enigma aspects of Nigeria newspaper i.e Daily Trust and Vanguard.. Furthermore, the research work has shown that Nigeria English helps to project its speakers as Nigerians.

Researcher concluded that The language of advertising suits the advertisers aims which are to inform, entice, excite induce, the audience to buy. The novelty and freshness of advertising language is justified for the purpose of attracting people’s attention, winning their trust and swaying their thinking.

The third research, Sri Sugiharti and Rafani Yurike (2016) Universitas Riau

Kepulauan,Batam, Indonesia. In this journal entitled, “A Semantics Analysis of the English Billboard Advertisement on Roads in Batam”, an International

Seminar Prasasti III Current Research in Linguistics. This study is aimed to

English Billboards along the road side in her hometown, Batam. Researcher investigated, how are the English billboard advertisements on roads in Batam and how is the word meaning of those English billboard advertisements. This was to find out how is the word meaning ofthose English billboard advertisements by

11

applying theory of semantics G. Leech (1981). The source of research data obtained was from the English billboard advertisements on roads in Batam.

Researcher concluded several results. There are two kinds of Billboard

Advertisements that use English as its language; Brand Advertising and

Institutional Advertising. The most type of Lexical Meaning that used in English

Billboard Advertisements is Conceptual Meaning, the second is Connotative

Meaning, and the last is Social Meaning.

The fourth research, Asep Hilmil Irfan (2017) conducted a research which is entitled “The Analysis of Associative Meaning in Samsung Advertisement

Slogan”. The research aims to investigate types ofassociative meaning Samsung advertisement slogan based on Leech’s theory of semantics. The research uses descriptive qualitative method, and collects the data by library research. The data are obtained from www.samsung.com/id/home/.

Researcher concluded thatthere are several types ofassociative meaning, they are connotative meaning (11 data), social or stylistic meaning (1 datum), affective meaning (1 datum), reflected meaning (2 data), and collocative meaning

(0 datum). The advertiser uses connotative words to maketheir advertisement more meaningful and sense able. It can be identified that connotative meaning is the most dominant in Samsung advertisement slogan

The last research, Ginting, Enda Christiani Nora (2017) conducted a research which is entitled “Semantic Analysis of Fast Food Advertisement

Slogans”. The aims of the study are to find out the types of meaning, and explain the ways of fast food advertisement slogans. This research is conducted by

12

usingdescriptive qualitative design. The data are analyze by using The seven types of meaning is conducted by using Semantics theory by G.Leech (1983).

Researcher concluded that the conclussionof data are taken 75 text data from 10 data Fast Food in Fast Food Advertisement Slogans. There are found

Seven Types of Meaning, There are found Seven Types of Meaning, they are:

Conceptual meaning, Connotative meaning, Social meaning, Affective meaning ,

Reflected meaning, Collocative meaning and Thematic meaning. The Dominant

Types of Meaning in Fast Food Advertisement Slogans is Conceptual Meaning.

Based of Conceptual meaning is dominantly in Fast Food Slogans beacause the meaning of conceptual meaning is refer to logical, cognitive, or denotative content, focus the dictionary meaning which indicates the concepts, primary is concerned with the word and thing denote. The successful application of Leech’s types of associative meanings because used The types of meaning in language

Advertisement Slogans to persuasive the readers, it is a major commodity in the world of advertisement.

The relevance of the previous researches with the research that will be done by the researcher, is that they have the same focus of research on English

Advertising or Slogan and the study of Semantic. The distinguish among this research and the researches, is that those researcher use only one product or brand, while this research use more than one airplane companies operating in

Indonesia so more than one product or brand. Furthermore, what distinguishes that this research is based on the interest in thesis writing is not in the form of basic research but in the form of applied research. Based on the explanation

13

above, there are several differences between previous studies with this study.

These differences can be seen briefly in the following table 2.1.

6. Supriyoso, The Meaning (Leech,19 The dominant realization Patria in English 81) (2019) the meaning of the airplane Company Slogans: company slogans is thematic Semantic Studies meaning. The main theme that is

usually carried is usually related

to safety. It is not surprising that

there are many words of "safety"

that are the focus and emphasis

in their slogans. This research is

conceptualized in the form of

applied research to concentrate

more on marketing areas that are

different from previous studies.

2.2 Semantics

According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2010: 1342), semantics is "the study of the meanings of words and phrases". This is in line with what Kreidler (2002: 3) suggests about Semantic is the systematic study of meaning, and linguistic semantics is the study of how languages organize and express meanings. Further explanations are given by Griffiths (2006: 1) states that 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 sentence meanings. Based on the number of

16

definitions in general the researcher can convey that semantic understanding is the study of language and its meaning.

Semantic science into a new field of science began with the work of

Michael Breal in 1983 in a scientific journal. In an article entitled "Les Lois

Intellectuelles du Language", Breal makes the framework of a new science program clearly mention the semantics of a new field in scholarship (Ulman,

2014: 6). At that time semantics was still a pure-historical science, ie more studies related to elements outside the language itself (Aminuddin, 2008: 16).

2.2.1 Meaning

Meanings are closely related to language and are an integral part of semantics. Meaning itself has a very wide and diverse understanding. Kriedler

(2002: 46) states "meaning is more than denotation and connotation. "While

Aminnudin (2008: 16) argues there are some basic elements covered in the meaning is the result of the relationship between the language with the outside world, there is agreement with the user meaning, and the meaning that can be used to convey information so that there is a mutual communication understanding related to description above. It can be drawn the conclusion that the meaning is a relational association of words that is not just denotation and connotation only, but here is an agreement used in communicating very closely related to elements of the environment outside the language.

17

2.2.2 Types of meaning

Word has a big role in our lives, especially in communicating and most words have more than one meaning. Words are used to express something and also convey feelings about what we describe.

Some linguists have different views on the division of the seven types of meanings of the words, according to Leech (1981:23) that types of meaning as follows:

Table 2.2 Seven Types of Meaning

1. CONCEPTUAL MEANING or Logical, cognitive, or denotative content Sense 2. CONNOTATIVE What is communicated by virtue of MEANING what language refers to.

3. SOCIAL What is communicated of the social MEANING circumstances of language use 4. AFFECTIVE What is communicated of the feelings MEANING and attitudes of the speaker/writer. ASSOCIATIVE 5. REFLECTED What is communicated through MEANING MEANING association with another sense of the same expression.

6. COLLOCATIVE What is communicated through MEANING association with words which tend to occur in the environment of another word. 7. THEMATIC MEANING What is communicated by the way which the message is organised in terms of order and emphasis.

18

1) Conceptual meaning

Conceptual meaning (sometimes called denotative or cognitive meaning) is widely assumed to be the central factor in linguistics communication, and it canbe shown to be integral to the essential functioning of language in a way that othertypes of meaning are not (which is not to say that conceptual meaning is the mostimportant element of every act of linguistic communication). (Leech, 1981:9)

Conceptual meaning is completely absent of emotion, so it is defined as distinguished from its connotation (its associated meaning). In other words, conceptual meaning is a word’s “dictionary definition” rather than its associated emotion or definition.A word or phrase’s denotation is what we would find in the dictionary, so it is important for one main reason—it provides clear, literal definition.

Conceptual meaning is valuable when you want to be clear and straightforward with the meaning of your words. It is the best way to choose your words when you want to be objective and informative, without creating other feelings or alternate meanings.

For example, denotation of the word “blue” is the color blue, but its connotation is “sad”—read the following sentence:

The blueberry is very blue.

The sentence is adenotative meaning. It describes the literal color of the fruit.

19

2) Connotative meaning

According to Leech (1981:12) connotative meaning is the communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its purely conceptual content. Someone associates with an expression when someone uses and hears it. The fact that if it compares connotative meaning with denotative meaning is that connotations are relatively unstable; that is, they vary considerably, it has seen, according to culture, historical period, and the experience of the individual. Connotations play a major role in the language of literature, of politics, of advertising, and a greeting card.

Connotation is an additional meaning for a word or phrase; thus, the examples are endless. Many words will share the same literal meaning, but may connote different feelings or ideas. For example : Susie is very blue. If this second sentence is denotative meaning, it will mean that Susie is literally the color blue. However, this sentence is connotative meaning, which means that Susie is sad.

3) Social Meaning

Social meaning is that which a piece of language conveys about the social circumstances of its used.It refers to the usage of language in and by society which has big proportions in determining the meaning that certain speaker has to use and wants to convey, those factors include social class of the speaker and hearer and the degree of formality. Only part of the social meaning of a conversation is carried by words (Leech, 1981:14). Take saying hello or talking

20

about the weather. Often such talk has little dictionary meaning. It is a way of being friendly or polite.

Social meaning relates to the use of language to establish and regulate social relations and tomaintain social roles. This type of language use is alternatively described as socialcommunication. Social meaning is hence communicated through ritualistic use oflanguage as found in greetings, apologies, blessing or condolences (Alice, 2004).Social meaning varies considerably according to such factors as culture, historical, period, social class and the general real life experience of a speaker or group speakers. For example : I paid about 50 bucks.The Oxford English Dictionary lists a usage of “bucks” to mean “dollars” from the Democratic State Journal in 1856: “Bernard, assault and battery upon

Wm. Croft, mulcted in the sum of twenty bucks.”

4) Affective Meaning

The affective meaning proposed by Leech (1981: 15) that affective meaning is how language reflects the personal feelings of the speaker, including his attitude to the listener, his attitude to something he is talking about.

Affective meaning is how language describes the feelings of the speaker, including his behavior towards the listener or something that is discussed. Leech

(1981: 15) also revealed that affective meaning is often explicitly conveyed through the conceptual or connotative content of the word used.

The tone of voice is really important to show the emotion since the listenerwill understand the feeling of the speaker if he is sad, angry, bad, or happy throughthe intonation of the speaker,for example : Shut up your fuckin mouth!

21

Based on the sentence, it can be seen that speakers use rude expressions in the speech partner in a connotative form, which means asking the people around them to be quiet.

I am sorry to interrupt you, would you mind to keep silent please.

On the contrary in the sentence above, it can be seen that speakers use polite or subtle expressions that ask the surrounding people to be quiet.

5) Reflected Meanings

It deals with lexical level of language which raises in case of multiple conceptual meaning. In other word, reflected meaning is what being communicated through association with another sense of the same expression or the meaning which arises in case of multiple conceptual meaning when the sense of word parts of our response to another sense (Leech, 1981: 16). This is usually caused when one sense of word affects our interpretation to another meaning.

Therefore, it is possible to make either secondary or substitution meaning for the same words which are reflected to familiar reference of the word in society.

Moreover, this meaning mostly refers to the taboo, sacred condition, and attitude, for example: Tomorrow is holiday right? Yeah.

In the example above, see that the speech partner responds to the expressions expressed by the speaker by answering “yeah” which means confirming that tomorrow is a holiday.

6) Collocative Meanings

Collocative meaning deals with word which is associated with another word in order to make the word becomes a good phrase and sounds correct. According

22

to Leech, “collocative meaning communicated through association with words tends to occur in the environment of another word” (1981: 17).

The meaning of collocation is the word meaning consisting of word associations of words that exist in the environment. This meaning is concerned with certain meaning traits that have a word from a number of synonymous words, so that the word is only suitable for use in pairs with certain other words.

So the collocative meaning must be commensurate and in place.

You are a beautiful girl.In the example, the word beautiful only matches the word girl, the word beautiful cannot match the word boy because the right equivalent is the word girl. You are a handsome boy. The word handsome is only intended to accompany the boy's words, the word handsome cannot be compared to the word girl, each of the above sentences cannot be exchanged.

7) Thematic meanings

Thematic meanings according to Leech (1981: 19) The meaning of the theme is communicated in a way in which a speaker or writer arranges the message, in terms of ordering, focus, and emphasis.

Janet brings the bookIn the example, it is an active sentence that answers the question “What did Janet bring?” The book is brought by Janet. Whereas in the next example is a passive sentence which is the answer to the question “Who brings the book?”

23

2.3 Advertising and Slogan

2.3.1 Advertising

Advertising is one form of communication from the company to consumers who are sent through certain media. Advertising deals with the creation of messages and sends them to others in this case are consumers in the hope of reacting in a certain way. If the consumer acts as the advertiser wants, then the ad is considered effective.

According to (Kotler & Armstrong 1999: 450) the definition of advertising is "any paid form nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or service by identified sponsors." Kotler here more emphasis on advertising in the marketing corner as a promotional tool that can help advertise the product or services that are produced or provided by the company.

Meanwhile, a more complete definition is obtained from Betsy-Ann Toffler and Jane Imber (2000: 13) in his book Dictionary of Marketing Term states that advertising is :

“paid form of a nonpersonal message communicated through the various media by industry, business firms, nonprofit organizations, or individuals. Advertising is persuasive and informational and is designed to influence the purchasing behavior and/or thought patterns of the audience. Advertising is a marketing tool and maybe used in combination with other marketing tools, such as sales promotion,personal selling tactics, or publicity.”

Related to the a definitionabove of Toffler and Jane Imber is not only emphasize advertising from the standpoint of marketing alone, but from the point of view of communication and also psychology that states that advertising is a process in conveying creative messages and also persuasive delivered through certain media in order to influence consumers.

24

2.3.2 Advertising Objectives

Companies often look for ways to increase their product or service consumption by repeating the image or the name of their product or service, in order to link the quality of the product in the consumer's memory. Advertising uses a variety of media to send communication messages to the minds of consumers in order to attract awareness and to embed information to consumers in the hope that there will be further action (purchase) after seeing or knowing the ad in accordance with advertising purposes.

According to (Kotler & Armstrong 1999: 451) stated that the purpose of advertising is to to inform, persuade or remind. For more details can be seen in table 2.3

Table 2.3 Advertising Objectives

. Telling the market about a new product . Suggesting new uses for a product . Informing the market of a price a change TO INFORM . Explaining how the product works . Describing available services . Correcting false impressions . Reducing buyers’ fears . Building brand preference . Encouraging switching to your brand TO PERSUADE . Changing customers perception of product atributes . Persuading customers to purchase now . Persuading customers to receive a sales call . Reminding customers that the product maybe needed in the near future . Reminding customers where to buy the product TO REMIND . Keeping the product in customer’s minds during off seasons . Maintaining top-of-mind product awareness (Possible Advertising Strategy, Kotler&Armstrong. 1999: 451)

25

2.3.3 Slogan

According to Moeliono (1989: 117) the slogan is an interesting, striking and memorable sentence to convey something. The slogan is made to inform, invite or influence readers. From the understanding of the experts above, it can be concluded that the slogan is an interesting, striking word or phrase used as an expression of ideas or goals that are memorable to convey something so that people who read the slogan can know the purpose of writing a slogan.

2.3.4 The Purpose of Slogan

The purpose of the slogan is for the reader to know, understand, interested or act in accordance with the message displayed (Nurhadi, 2002: 94). Slogans can also work for community education, spurred passion, ideals, commercial advertising or political propaganda. The use of a successful slogan, seen from how far people know the slogan.

2.3.5 Characteristics of Slogan

In slogans or taglines; language is themimportant tool. The advertisement language aims at persuading the consumerto buy the products.

An effective slogan has the following characteristics: (Dan Taylor, 2018)

1) Simple and memorable

2) Short and straight to the point

3) Reflects the identity and brand of the business

4) Calls out the attention of potential customers

5) Consistent with the business products or services

6) Reflects the company’s goals and vision

26

2.4 The importance of effective communication for the company

Kotler claimed that companies must ask not only how can we reach our customers but also, how can our customers reach us. (Kotler, 2009: 564). This shows the importance of communication marketing between company and its customers. According to Kotler today communication is an interactive dialogue between the company and its customers that it takes place in all the stages i.e. pre- selling, selling, consuming and postconsuming.

Communication plays a vital role in the fulfillment of all marketing objectives. Understanding communication is essential since it is the basic process through which managers specifically and organizations in their entirety accomplish their set objectives culminating in their success. Smith, Berry and

Pulford (1997: 23) described communication as the act of sending information from the mind of one person to the mind of another person. Therefore, communication as the process by which information is transmitted and understood between two or more people. There are six components must be present: a communication source or sender, a message, a channel, a receiver, feedback and the environment.

Message is the purpose or idea to be conveyed. Many factors influence how a message is received. Among them are clarity, the alertness of the receiver, the complexity and length of the message, and how the information is organized.

A full understanding of communication requires knowledge of the environment in which messages are transmitted and received. For example, the organizational culture is a key environmental factor that influences

27

communication. It is important also to mention that distractions have a pervasive influence on the components of the communication process. In this context, noise is anything that disrupts communication, including the attitude and emotions of the receiver. Noise includes work stress, fear, ambivalence, blurred visibility and strong advocacy for an opposing position.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The chapter provide the research methodology which is used in the research.

It covers the research design, research site and participant, research instrument, sample of data, techniques of collecting data, technique of analyzing data, and

Organizing of writing.

3.1 Research Design

This research aims to explore various English slogans from international and domestic airplane companies which low-cost and full service carriers using the Semantic approach. Therefore, the research method used by researcher is a qualitative research method. Qualitative research methods based on postpositivism or enterpretative paradigms are used to evaluate the condition of natural objects (not manipulated) where the position of the researcher itself is the main instrument (Sugiyono. 2018: 9)

Qualitative research instruments are data collection techniques carried out in triangulation (merging non-observations, interviews and documentation), data obtained requires qualitative data, inductive / qualitative data analysis, and higher qualitative research results to gain meaning rather than generalization (Sugiyono,

2018: 10). Researcher used triangulation techniques to explore the truth of certain information through various stages and sources of data acquisition from collecting data, displayed, reducing and then determining the last data as needed.

29

3.2 Sample of Data

According to Sugiyono (2018: 95) in determining the sampling technique in this study researchers used a saturation sampling technique given the relatively small number of population members or studies that want to make generalizations with very small errors where all members of the population are sampled.

In this study the total population of 42 was chosen as the object of research or sample members. The population is still in detail again based on the type of service, namely as many as 29 Full Services Carrier (FSC) airlines and 13 Low

Cost Carrier (LCC) airlines.

Furthermore, out of 42 total members, consisting of airlines operating in

Indonesia, which have the following criteria: 1) international and domestic airlines, 2) using English slogans, 3) Airline with AOC 121, AOC (Air Operator

Certificate) 121 is a certificate given to airlines that operate aircraft with a capacity of more than 30 seats, 5) non cargo passenger flights and, 6) international and domestic full service and low cost carrier airlines.

The list of 42 members of the sample airlines with English slogans are classified into 2 groups originating from International and domestic airlines which are Full Services and Low Cost Carriers. Those are the object of research includes: the name of the airline, the country of origin, the slogan, can be seen in

Table 3.1 below.

3.3 Research Instrument

According to Sugiyono (2018: 101) In research that is an instrument or research that is a research in itself, which supports this researcher as a planner, executor of analysis and data collector as well as being a breaker of research results. Therefore researchers must have extensive insight into what will be announced.

Furthermore according to (Arikunto, 2013: 203) research instruments are tools or facilities used by researchers in collecting data so that their work is easier and produces better in the sense of being more careful, complete and systematic so that it is easier to process. Type of research instrument questionnaire, checklist

(checklist) or checklist. Ceklis is a list of variables whose data will be collected.

In this case the researcher only gives a sign or tally for every appearance of the proposed sign.

3.4 Techniques of Collecting Data

Data collection techniques are the most strategic step in research, because the main purpose of the research is to obtain data. Without knowing the correct data collection techniques, the study will not get data that meets the specified data standard, Sugiyono (2018: 104).

34

Various types of data collection techniques :

3.4.1 Data Collection with Observation

Nasution in Sugiyono (2018: 106) states that observation is the basis of all science. Scientists can only work based on data, facts about the world of reality obtained through observation. Marshall in Sugiyono (2018: 106) states that through observation, researchers learn about the behavior and meaning of the behavior.

Sanafiah Faisal in Sugiyono (2018: 106) classifies observations into:

1) Participatory Observation

In this observation researchers are involved with the daily activities of people who are being observed or used as research data sources.

Susan Stainback in Sugiyono (2018: 107) states, In participatory observation, researchers observe what people are doing, listen to what they say and participate in their activities.

As it has been stated that this observation can be classified into four : a) Passive participation, in this case the researcher comes to the place of activity

of the invited person, but is not involved in the activity. b) Moderate participation, in this observation lies among researchers being

insiders with outsiders. The researcher in collecting data participated in

participatory observation in several activities, but not all of them. c) Active participation, in this observation researchers participate in doing what

the resource person does, but it is not complete.

35

d) Complete participation, in carrying out data collection. This is part of the

highest research compared to the activities offered.

2) Non Disguised Observation or Disguised Observation

According to Sugiyono (2018: 108) in the case of researchers conducting data collection stating frankly to the data source, that he was conducting research.

So those who were studied knew from the beginning to the end of the research activity. But in a moment the researcher is also not Non Disguised Observation or disguised in observation, this is to avoid if the data sought is data that is still kept secret. Possibly if done frankly, the researcher will not be allowed to make observations.

3) Unstructured Observation

According to Sugiyono (2018: 109) Unstructured observation is observation that is not systematically prepared about what will be observed. This will be done because the researcher does not know exactly what will be observed. In conducting observations, researchers did not use standardized instruments, but only in the form of observation signs.

3.4.2 Data Collection with Interviews

According to Esterberg in Sugiyono (2018: 115) defining interviews is a meeting of two people to exchange information and ideas through question and answer, so that meaning can be constructed in a particular topic. Furthermore, it presents a number of types of interviews, namely: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured interviews.

36

a. Structured Interview.

Structured interviews are used as a technique for collecting data, if the researcher or data collector knows for sure what information will be obtained.

Therefore in conducting interviews, data collectors have prepared research instruments in the form of written questions that are alternative answers have also been prepared. b. Semi-structural Interview.

This type of interview is included in the category of dept interviews, where in its implementation it is freer when compared to structured interviews. The purpose of this type of interview is to find problems more openly, where the parties invited to interview are asked for their opinions and ideas. In conducting interviews, researchers need to listen carefully and record what was said by the informant. c. Unstructured Interview

Unstructured interviews are free interviews where researchers do not use interview guidelines that have been systematically arranged and complete for data collection. The interview guide used is only an outline of the problems to be asked.

3.4.3 Techniques for Collecting data with Documents

According to Sugiyono (2018: 124) the study of documents is a complement to the use of observation and interview methods in qualitative research. Research results from observations or interviews will be more credible if supported by a personal history of life in childhood, school, community, and autobiography. The

37

results of the study will also be more credible if supported by photographs or academic papers.

3.4.4 Triangulation

Triangulation is defined as a technique of data collection that is related to various techniques for collecting data and existing data sources. If the researcher conducts data collection in triangulation, the researcher actually collects data which simultaneously tests the credibility of the data, namely checking the credibility of the data with various data collection techniques and various data sources.

The data collection techniques used in this study are as follows:

1) Literature review

This literature review was conducted to obtain secondary data, namely by searching for and studying various theories that have to do with the problem being studied. In addition, researchers also collect and process data from journals and articles and through various internet sites.

2) Interview

The interview is a meeting of two people to exchange information and ideas through question and answer, so that meaning can be constructed in a particular topic (Sugiyono, 2018: 116).

The researcher uses semi-structured interviews. The aim is to find problems and solutions more openly. Through semistructural interviews researchers also prepare a list of questions or interview guidelines so that data sources can answer

38

questions according to a list of questions that the researchers have prepared in advance.

3) Observation

According to Nasution in Sugiyono (2018: 109) the data decided by the researchers will be able to discuss data, and a holistic view and not be revealed by interviews. With matters relating to observation, researchers can find things that will not be revealed by the respondent, things outside the perception of the respondent so that researchers can learn more and obtain personal images that are developing social situations of the objects discussed .

4) Triangulation

According to Sugiyono (2018: 115) In the technique of collecting data, triangulation is interpreted as a Data Collection Technique that is a combination of various Data Techniques and existing data sources. If the researcher conducts data collection using triangulation, the researcher actually collects data which simultaneously tests the credibility of the data, namely checking the credibility of the data with Data Collection Techniques and various data sources.

Based on Leech data collection (1981), literature review, indepth interview , observation, and advertising model objective Table 2.3 by Kotler & Armstong

(1999), the characteristics of seven types of meanings are carried out to reduce and avoid ambiguous meanings as in table 3.4.

39

Data obtained from observations, semi-structured interviews and documents that can be linked to clarify what is on the object of research. So that through data

41

triangulation can be guaranteed the certainty of the data obtained and at the same time the credibility of the data has been tested.

3.5 Technique of Analyzing Data

Data analysis is the process of systematically searching and compiling data obtained from observations, interviews, field notes and documentation. How to organize data into categories, describe into units, synthesize, arrange into patterns, choose which ones are important and which will be learned and finally make conclusions so that they are easily understood by themselves and others.

According to Miles and Huberman in Sugiyono (2018: 133) argues that activities in qualitative data analysis are carried out continuously until complete, so that the data is saturated. Activities in data analysis include: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing / verification.

The steps of data analysis according to Sugiyono (2018: 134) are shown in the following picture 3.1:

DATA DATA COLLECTION DISPLAY

DATA REDUCTION CONCLUSIONS : DRAWING/VERIFYING

Picture 3.1 The Steps of Data Analysis

42

3.5.1 Data Collection

According to Sugiyono (2018: 134) the combination of the three data collection (triangulation) is carried out for days, maybe months, so that the data obtained will be many.

3.5.2 Data Reduction

Data reduction is a sensitive thinking process that requires intelligence and breadth and high depth of insight. For researchers who are new, data reduction can be discussed with friends or others discussed by experts. Furthermore, through the discussion, the researchers' insights will develop, so that data reduces data that has significant findings and theoretical development values (Sugiyono,

2018: 137).

Data that has been reduced will provide a clear picture thus it will facilitate the researcher in collecting further data. The researcher will focus on the goals to be achieved by selecting the data to be used, and will discard it if the data has nothing to do with the context of the research objectives (Sugiyono, 2018: 137).

3.5.3 Data Display

This display data can be done in the form of tables, graphs, phie cards, ictograms and the like. Through the data display, the data is organized, arranged in a relationship pattern, so that it will be more easily understood (Sugiyono,

2018: 137).

3.5.4 Conclusion Drawing / Verification

The third step in this research is conclusions and verification. The initial conclusions put forward are still temporary, and will change if no strong evidence

43

is found that supports the next stage of data collection. But if the conclusions put forward at the initial stage are supported by valid and consistent evidence when the researcher returns to the field of collecting data, then the conclusions are credible.

The conclusions in qualitative research are new findings that have never before existed. The findings of the data in the form of a description or description of a project that was previously still dim or dark so that after being researched it becomes clearer, it can be a causal or interactive relationship, hypothesis or theory

(Sugiyono, 2018: 141).

Based on the description from points 1 to 4 above, from the unit analysis object, there are 42 airlines that use English slogans operating in Indonesia and supported by accurate data. As an initial conclusion according to Picture 2.1

Frame of Thinking that one of the International airlines that received a positive response from customers was Air Asia Airline and the domestic company that received a negative response from customers was Lion Airline.

3.6 Organization of Writing

Air flight fares will be reduced to normal rates. Whereas Air Asia can still sell at its normal rates because it carries out an efficiency strategy and not predatory pricing / the price of turning off opponents. 3) Strong customer rejection of high tariffs resulted in a decrease in the number of Lion Air passengers to more than

20%, affecting the financial health of the company. While Air Asia tends to be stable and slightly increase. 4) Kompas July 10, 2019, Researcher Indef Nailul

To maintain consistency in analyzing the researchers first need to arrange the characteristics of the seven types of meaning. The next step of 42 advertising English slogans researchers grouped into seven types of meaning, namely: Conceptual meaning,

Connotative meaning, Social meaning, Affective meaning, Reflected meaning,

Collocative meaning and Thematic meaning.
