Abstract

Indonesia can be considered as the most productive country that creates and uses portmanteau. The blending habit is practised in the peoples everyday life, and it covers almost all aspects, from the government programs up until peoples names. Apart from simplification reason, there are some other senses that may come together with the portmanteau, among others: the memorability logic, the handy label concern, and the power it bears. This research was aimed at the usage of portmanteau by Indonesian famous people and the power gained through those names. It uses the blending and neologism theories for the portmanteau formation and Fairclough power representation and Wodak Critical Discourse Analysis theories. A qualitative research method was used in order to understand the problem deeply and thoroughly. The results are that the usage of portmanteau names give some advantages to the bearer including values, respects, and powers.

Abstract

This research was aimed to know the forms of mimesis that are represented in the American comicbooks. The characters are mostly well-known fictional superheroes and active worldwide, but usually based in USA. The mimesis analysis was done by comparing some aspects in the real life and those in the comics. Those comparison aspects will be seen and examined to point out the true mimesis used by the writers and how Indonesia is pictured there. The mimesis theory was taken from Krofli? (2011). There, Indonesia was illustrated in three ways, i.e.: 1) by the picture; 2) by a character’s explanation; and 2) by both. The comparison aspects were divided into two parts, i.e.: 1) the condition of Indonesia when they were written; and 2) the plots and their conotative meanings. Those illustrations and comparisons resulted 3 different point of views, i.e., positive, negative, or neutral. There are 30 data analized and it resulted only 12 data with full mimesis similarities and 18 data with partly similarities or completely different mimesis with the real conditions. The other aspects analyzed was about their description of Indonesia as a whole, and it turns out that only 3 data that have positive vibes, 11 data say negative things about Indonesia, and the other 16 are neutral.
