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.

This study explores the intricate aspects of love expressed in Indonesian proverbs through a combination of Cognitive Semantics Analysis (CSA) and Qualitative Method (QM). Analyzing a diverse range of proverbs aims to uncover the nuanced dimensions of love as expressed through linguistic and cultural perspectives. Through the CSA lens, the investigation delves into the underlying cognitive structures that shape the conceptualization of love in these proverbs. The QM complements the study, providing insights into the socio-cultural context and subtle variations in meaning. Specifically, the findings show these three folds. First, love is conceptualized through a range of metaphors such as “love is a journey,” “love is a fire,” and “love is a gift.” Second, In Indonesia, where collectivism is highly valued, family values and communal harmony are paramount. Love proverbs are often associated with familial relationships and the responsibility of providing for one’s family. Lastly, the interplay between cognitive insights and socio-cultural contexts results in a comprehensive understanding of love’s profound representation and importance within Indonesian proverbs, highlighting the interconnectivity between emotions, language, and culture. The outcome of this study offers a deeper insight into the Indonesian culture and language’s conceptualization of love, highlighting the complex interplay between language, culture, and cognition.

The study aims to scrutinize the linguistic and cognitive mechanisms underlying these sayings, which have been used for generations to transmit cultural knowledge and wisdom. Through rigorous qualitative analysis, the study uncovers the context-specific meanings encapsulated within these proverbs, highlighting the cultural, social, and cognitive dimensions that make them a valuable source of traditional wisdom. The main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Indonesian language and culture by exploring the educational potential of proverbs. The findings show that (1) applying CSA to Indonesian proverbs has revealed that these linguistic expressions are complex interplays of metaphoric and metonymic mappings to represent the pedagogical propositions and (2) Indonesian proverbs have been found to contain intricate nuances, cultural contexts, and societal values concerning the pedagogical propositions.
