Abstract

This research discusses the role of symbols found in Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak. The writers apply New Criticism as the way to find the meaning from those symbols. The writers find three important symbols in the story, they are Melinda's tree painting, mirror, and Melinda's lips and mouth condition. Anderson puts those symbols in the story in order to strengthen the salvation from the isolation as the solid theme for Speak.

Abstract

Many foreign writers have expressed their fascination with Bali in their works, among them are Jamie James in Andrew and Joey: a tale of Bali and Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love. The two authors wrote about Bali from their personal experience dring their stay in that island. Some images created in the works are seen and analyzed through the prespective of Postcolonialism and New Criticism. This article presents how the two authors depicts Bali as an extravagant place in Eastern country which has adopted some Western values. The negative image is delivered to oppose the idea of Bali as the perfect island; moreover, as part of Indonesia, Bali still has some weaknesses to strengthen and truly support that it is part of Indonesia. The writer admits that this article is far from perfect. Due to the limitation of thinking and time, some more aspects can be explored more profoundly in terms of the image of Bali in these two works. Hence, there are still a lot of literary works that also talk about and discuss the image of Bali. Hopefully, there will be anyone who, willingly or even the writer himself, could continue the research and find out more about the images of Bali from the Western perspective as seen in some other novels and works.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the use of corpus linguistics from a morphological perspective. Corpus linguistics, as an empirical method that utilizes collections of texts or speech, allows researchers to carry out language analysis on a large scale with a higher level of accuracy. In the field of morphology, this approach is used to identify and analyze the frequency and distribution of morphemes, morphological variations, and distribution patterns of affixes in various linguistic contexts. Through comprehensive corpus data analysis, this research is expected to reveal morphological patterns that are not visible in small or introspective studies. The research results show that the corpus-based approach provides deeper and broader insights into the morphological structure of language, although there are several challenges such as the representativeness of the corpus and complex data processing. This research makes a significant contribution to the understanding of morphological variation and distribution and offers recommendations for a more effective corpus research methodology.
