Abstract :
Isworo, Diantri Nurjati. 2023. An Analysis of Idiomatic Expressions Used By Content Creator on TikTok. Final Project, English Study Program, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, Universitas PGRI Semarang. Advisor I: Dr. A.B. Prabowo K.A., S.Pd., M.Hum., Advisor II: Maria Y.W.L., M.Pd. This research discusses the idiomatic expressions used by content creators on TikTok. The purpose of this study is to explore the meanings, characteristics, and contributions of idioms to English teaching. The researcher identified 54 idiomatic expressions in 12 analyzed videos. Qualitative research was employed for this study. The content shared by TikTok creators serves as the primary data source. The researcher acted as the human instrument, while a smartphone served as the non-human instrument. The study involved three main steps: reading, selecting, and categorizing the data. Adam Makkai's theory was used to classify idioms into two types: lexemic idioms and sememic idioms. All identified data falls under the category of lexemic idioms. Within the lexemic idioms, there are five distinct categories: phrasal verb idioms, tournure idioms, irreversible binomial idioms, phrasal compound idioms, and incorporating verb idioms. The study found 2 phrasal verb idioms, 19 tournure idioms, 4 irreversible binomial idioms, 26 phrasal compound idioms, and 3 incorporating verb idioms, all aligned with Adam Makkai's theory. The benefit of this research is that, it can help the readers understand the meaning and characteristics of idiomatic expressions.
