Abstract

This research especially focuses on the semiosis process identified from Cinta Laura Kiehl’s Instagram captions as a celebrity in Indonesia who is known as a celebrity who not only achieve recognition in acting but also singing, presenting, and others. This surely attracts a lot of audiences making the investigation on the semiotic phenomenon retrieved from Cinta’s Instagram page where she communicates and inspires people becomes interesting. The semiotic sign relation is seen through her captions by including the text and emoticons added in the captions. Anchored in sign relation theory by Charles Sanders Peirce and the perception of happiness by Martin Seligman, this study applied the qualitative research method to present the data analysis. The first result shows that the symbol sign relations in Cinta’s Instagram captions are in the form of texts that conveyed meaning in the expression of happiness that Cinta shares based on her life. Moreover, the emoticons in her Instagram captions have the function to enhance the expressions and contexts that the symbol initially stands for. The second result shows that the signs of happiness from Cinta’s Instagram captions are divided into two main aspects of relationship and achievements.
