Abstract

They are dramatic works which show interesting qualities by drawing the readers’ interest. Novels also cultivate the imagination, contribute to and deepen the capacity for moral reflection. Novel about Indonesian Muslims, written by non-Indonesians, need to get more attention because the novel has the power to create the identity of Indonesian Muslims through its representation. The identity represented will be viewed not only by Indonesian Muslims but also by people all over the world.

Abstract

This study aims at explaining the types and functions of interactional metadiscourse markers in the U.S. House Republican primary debate. It is a descriptive qualitative method because the data in this study are the form of words. The source of the data in this study is debate transcripts, while the data are the words, phrases, and sentences in the debate which contain the categories of interactional metadiscourse markers. The results of the study show that there are five types of interactional metadiscourse markers. Those are hedges, boosters, attitude markers, self-mentions, and engagement markers. Self-mentions are the most dominant markers used by the candidates which reach a total of 149 data. Meanwhile, the lowest marker is hedges with a total of 62 data. In addition, the writer also found that each marker has its own function. Hedges aim to show that the speaker's statements are more reasonable opinions than facts. Boosters are used to emphasize or clarify a statement. Attitude markers have a function to show the speaker's attitude towards a proposition. Then self-mentions are used to explicitly show the speaker's presence in the discourse. Meanwhile, engagement markers are used to focus the audience attention or involve them in the discourse.

Postmodern fiction has unique features that distinguish its works from other works of fiction. It often blurs literary genres and breaks conventional narration.

Abstract

Madura batik tradition has a unique cultural brand name, luminous colors, and intricate patterns that are distinct from other batiks in Indonesia. The study of Madura batik lexicon remains limited compared to other regional batiks. This study highlights the unique contribution to both linguistic and cultural studies. The objective is to analyze how the Tanjungbumi batik lexicon reflects cultural identity and Madurese local wisdom. This study relies on qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews with six Tanjungbumi batik craftsmen. They are all active batik artisans living or producing batik in the area. They were selected based on their active involvement over the past five years and their strong knowledge of the batik lexicon and its associated cultural meanings in local practice. From a critical discourse analysis perspective, the lexicon of Tanjungbumi batik is analyzed from the micro stage of vocabulary and related to the wider scope of society. The results of the study, in relation to the lexicon of various tools based on their functions in batik-making, fabric materials, types of dyes and wax (natural or synthetic), types of batik cloth, and motifs, represent knowledge as the expression of cultural identities and local wisdom. The lexicon of Tanjungbumi batik highlights collective narratives and conveys the harmonious relationship between Madurese people and their environment, as well as how local wisdom adapts to change with globalization and modernization, and continues to innovate while respecting its traditional roots in preserving cultural identity.
