Abstract

The urgency of this study lies in its critical examination of how gendered language functions as a tool of patriarchal control in Jamaica Kincaid’s Girl (1978), revealing how linguistic practices shape female identity, social expectations, and power relations within a cultural context. This study examines gendered language in Jamaica Kincaid’s short story Girl (1978) by focusing on how linguistic forms function as mechanisms of social control over women. Rather than treating gendered language as a general phenomenon, this research specifically analyzes the dominance of imperative sentences, repetition, and normative diction used by the mother figure to construct female identity within a patriarchal cultural framework. Using a qualitative descriptive method and feminist discourse analysis, the study identifies how directives and prohibitions directed at the female subject reflect expectations of obedience, domestic responsibility, and moral discipline. The findings reveal that language in Girl does not merely mirror gender norms but actively reproduces them by normalizing patriarchal values through everyday maternal discourse. The study concludes that Kincaid’s Girl demonstrates how language operates as an ideological tool that shapes and limits women’s identities, highlighting the importance of feminist linguistic analysis in literary studies.

Abstract

This study investigates multiple affixations, specifically prefix–suffix combinations, found in the Book of Jakup (Epistle of James) in Pustaka Si Badia. The research aims to identify the forms of prefix–suffix multiple affixations and to analyze their morphological structures and functions based on Francis Katamba’s (1993) theory of morphology. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected through documentation by examining lexical items containing more than one affix in Jakup. The findings show that multiple affixations in Jakup are realized through prefix–suffix combinations that primarily function as nominalizers, forming abstract nouns from verbs or adjectives. This study contributes to the morphological description of the Karo language and highlights the systematic nature of word formation in biblical texts.

Abstract

This study examines the themes of reconciliation and belonging in Claire Keegan’s novella Foster using Reader-Response Theory, particularly the ideas of Louise Rosenblatt and Wolfgang Iser. The research focuses on how silence and ordinary domestic routines express emotional healing and acceptance. Rather than presenting reconciliation through dramatic events or explicit dialogue, Keegan portrays it through quiet moments, small gestures, and what is left unsaid. The findings reveal that silence functions as a meaningful emotional space where grief and care coexist, while everyday activities such as cooking and shared routines redefine reconciliation as emotional presence rather than spoken forgiveness. Keegan’s minimalist style encourages readers to participate in constructing meaning, making belonging an emotional experience rather than only a biological relationship.
