A Semantic Study On Javanese Written Humor In Magazine

Humor is something that tickles the feelings of the listener, because of its tendency to sting, surprise, unreasonable, deceptive, and odd. The effects of humor arise because of language games, which tend to stray and break the rules of the literal meaning. Language units whether in words, phrases, clauses, or sentences in the "Sing Lucu" humor column in the Javanese magazine "Panjebar Semangat" (PS) show the characteristics of an identifiable humor language in the form and function categories based on the relation of meaning between the elements of the language unit it uses, both in its form as the humor writer's identity, the title of humor, and the content or content of the humor text itself. Semantically, it is identified that can convey the effect or value of humor. The results of the analysis illustrate that the semantic relationships that cause the effects of humor in the form of homonym, homophonic, homograph, onomatopoeia and polysemy.
