Abstract

This study aims to examine the politeness methods used by the characters in their apology expressions. The study was designed as a descriptive and qualitative research. The data were examined using descriptive techniques, applying various politeness methods suggested by Brown and Levinson (1987) to identify different types of politeness tactics. The Princess Diaries, an American romantic-comedy movie released in 2001, provided the statistical data. Using Brown and Levinson's Politeness Strategies (1987), the analysis findings show that 10 utterances can be categorized as expressions of regret. According to Brown and Levinson's politeness theory, negative politeness is used to show respect so as not to offend the interlocutor, while positive politeness occurs among a group of friends and family members who have a close relationship with the interlocutor. Therefore, it can be said that all the characters in the movie who use positive politeness to show regret are female, and positive politeness is the politeness technique they use most often.

Abstract

The study focused on how accurately fourth-semester English Literature students at Putera Batam University used eight types of English inflectional morphemes in their academic writing. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach complemented with simple statistical descriptions, the study reviewed students’ written assignments along with questionnaire data to determine their level of accuracy, the most frequent error patterns, and the factors contributing to incorrect forms. To assess accuracy, the researchers adopted Brown’s (1973) calculation and applied an 80% benchmark to classify whether a morpheme had been sufficiently acquired. The analysis revealed that only three morphemes—the present participle (-ing), the superlative (-est), and the simple past (-ed)—met or exceeded the expected mastery level. In contrast, several others, including the comparative (-er), the past participle (-ed/-en), the possessive (’s), and the third-person singular (-s), fell well below the threshold, suggesting that students had not yet mastered them. Further examination showed that omission was the error type that occurred most frequently, while misformation and addition followed as secondary patterns. The inaccuracies were largely attributed to the influence of Bahasa Indonesia as the learners’ first language and to internal developmental factors such as overgeneralization and partial understanding of grammatical rules. Overall, the findings point to persistent difficulties Indonesian EFL learners encounter when dealing with English inflectional morphology and emphasize the importance of more focused grammar instruction within academic writing courses

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of women in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily through Simone de Beauvoir’s feminist theoretical framework. Employing Beauvoir’s concepts of the Other, myths of woman, and women’s categorization as prostitute, the research examines women's representation reflected in the narrative that frames the story of Faulkner's A Rose for Emily, and unveils the perspective of Faulkner as the male author on women as implied in the story. The data are collected through the primary source involved close reading of Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily". The analysis reveals that the protagonist (Emily) is positioned as the Other within a patriarchal social structure that deprives women's autonomy, confined within cultural myth of women reproduced to maintain male domination and reinforce women subordinate positions. Faulkner, as the male author, reflects his perspectives in between of perpetuation and resistance to the social construction of women. The analysis also uncovers Faulkner’s ambivalent perspective as the male author. In certain narrative elements, he seems to perpetuate patriarchal constructions, while in other aspects, he implicitly challenges these norms through the protagonist's (Emily) acts of resistance against social constraints. Overall, the result demonstrates that Faulkner’s narrative both reflects and critiques the power of gender and its relations within a socio-historical context.
