Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of linguistic impoliteness practiced by Ade Nano in everyday interactions, analyze them based on Brown and Levinson’s face theory, Grice’s cooperative principle, and Yule’s politeness norm and identify the factors influencing the emergence of linguistic impoliteness in Ade Nano. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. The data sources are Ade Nano’s oral speech, obtained through observation, recording, note-taking, interviews, and documentation. The data are then transcribed and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that linguistic impoliteness practiced by Ade Nano includes rude speech, high-pitched commands, as well as sarcasm and mockery. These utterances tend to threaten the positive and negative face of the interlocutor and violate several maxims of Grice’s cooperative principle, particularly the maxims of quality, relevance, and manner. Factors influencing the emergence of linguistic impoliteness include family environment, peer interaction, and low emotional control in communication.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of gender injustice depicted in the novel “Woman at Point Zero” by Nawal El-Saadawi, utilizing the perspective of Mansour Fakih’s theory. The novel chronicles the life journey of Firdaus, an egyptian woman from an impoverished family who endures various forms of oppression from childhood ranging from domestic violence, forced marriage, and sexual abuse to becoming an independent prostitute ultimately killing a pimp and choosing the death penalty as an act of resistance against the patriarchal system. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The primary data source is the novel “Woman at Point Zero” by Nawal El-Saadawi, while secondary data is derived from Mansour Fakih’s theoretical works and relevant prior research. Data collection was conducted using “read-and-note” techniques and documentation. Data analysis was performed thematically based on the five forms of gender injustice identified by Mansour Fakih: marginalization, subordination, stereotyping, violence, and double burden. The research results indicate that all five forms of gender injustice are prominently present in the novel. Instances identified include marginalization (24 excerpts), subordination (36 excerpts), stereotyping (30 excerpts), violence (27 excerpts), subdivided into physical violence (17 excerpts) and psychological violence (10 excerpts), and double burden (10 excerpts). These findings illustrate how the character Firdaus experiences structural and cultural oppression within Egyptian patriarchal society. Through this novel, Nawal El-Saadawi delivers a sharp critique of gender injustice and advocates for women's awareness and resistance against oppressive systems.
