<p><em>The language used in contracts must adhere to the rules of the Indonesian language without diminishing the legal purpose and function, while also serving as a foundation for legal reform in Indonesia. This research is qualitative in nature, aiming to compare legal language in contracts with the standard Indonesian language. The data collected in this study consists of secondary data supported by field research data (primary data). Data collection techniques were carried out through document/literature review, supplemented by observational participation and in-depth interviews. This research identifies the influence of foreign languages, particularly Dutch, which still affects the structure of contract language today. Contract language, which should follow standard Indonesian language rules, often uses unclear, ambiguous, and inefficient terms, which can confuse readers, especially the general public. The results show that the language structure of notarial contracts remains rigid and often improperly structured, leading to potential misinterpretations. However, by using simpler language that adheres to Indonesian language rules, it is hoped that these contracts can be more widely understood by the public, reducing misinterpretations and enhancing clarity and efficiency in legal practice.</em></p>

<p><em>This study examines the semiotic construction of obsession in the song "A Little Piece of Heaven" by Avenged Sevenfold. Unlike conventional portrayals of romance, the song presents a complex and provocative narrative of control, emotional disturbance, and posthumous revenge. Using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory, this research employs a qualitative approach to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings embedded in the lyrics. Each verse is examined as a sign that reflects deeper cultural messages and ideological codes surrounding possessiveness and toxic relationships. The analysis reveals how the song constructs a symbolic discourse on love that transforms into domination, revealing the thin line between affection and obsession. This study argues that such lyrical constructions may influence audience interpretations, especially among adolescent listeners, and highlights the importance of media literacy in understanding metaphorical and violent content in popular music. The findings contribute to the field of communication studies by offering insight into how music lyrics operate as cultural texts and vehicles for ideological meaning.</em></p>
