ABSTRACT Bahtiar A. Zulfan. Intersemiotic Complementarity Picturing Puns. Thesis Department of English Faculty of Letters Universitas Negeri Malang (UM). Advisors (I) Prof. A. Effendi Kadarisman M.A Ph.D (II) Prof. Dr. Yazid Basthomi M.A. Key words Picture-based puns 9GAG internet memes A number of linguistic studies on puns have been conducted by several researchers in the past few years. There are numerous studies that examine verbal puns as well as written puns in various media. The studies that on picture-based puns however are still scarce today. As pointed out by Royce (2007 63) there are still insignificant number of studies that discuss the nature of the intersemiotic-semantic relationships between the visual and verbal modes to provide explanations of what characteristics make multimodal text logically connected. This research seeks to scrutinize what types of pun occur in its picture-based form and how the texts and the pictures simultaneously contribute to the creation of picture-based puns. In this study some internet memes that were downloaded from 9GAG were analyzed. In order to collect the data some parameters based on Royce s (2007) theory of intersemiotic complementarity are set. Eventually 50 internet memes are collected as the data of this study. Categorization is needed in order to answer the first research question. The research found that there are 7 classifications that categorize the data based on what linguistic phenomena that are being played in the creation of the picture-based puns. The classifications are paronymy (16 data 32%) metaphorical 8596 literal shift (11 data 22%) homophony (10 data 20%) homonymy (4 data 8%) mixed (4 data 8%) juncture (3 data 6%) and spelling (2data 4%). 15 representative internet memes are then analyzed further. In addition some elaborations are made to correlate Royce s theory of intersemiotic complementarity with the data collection to explain how the text and the pictures contribute to the creation of picture-based pun. The research finds that in the case of picture-based puns the texts and the pictures work simultaneously to create context which then generate the humor within them. Lastly as this present study still absolutely needs some improvements and since this topic is a relatively new topic and has not been explore that much.it is suggested that the future researchers not only explore other possibilities of conducting research on this topic but also conduct research on different points of view.
