Abstract

The data-based research on which this article is based aimed at (1) describing the thematic progression variation of The Great Gatsby texts, (2) describing the contextual factors that motivate the variation in question, and (3) describing the effects of the variation on the texts as translational texts. The study applied a qualitative approach which employed a sematic-translational content analysis of qualitative and quantiative data. The results show that thematic progression variation falls into the low category at average indicated by the mean score of 0.76. The most prominent variation was repre-sented by the low category of variation. The variations were performed by adding or omitting Themes, splitting one units of thematic structure into more than one unit, downranking, not expressing and creating new clauses. The factors that motivate the variation are the different linguistic properties bet-ween English and Bahasa Indonesia and the situational contexts. In terms of effects, the variation caused dangling clauses which cannot be identified from which they are developed.Keywords: thematic progression, thematic structure, Theme, Rheme

Abstract

This discourse study aims to analyze the structure and function of the modes in the speech of the characters in The Grass is Singing concerning white domination over black people. This is a qualitative study with a critical discourse analysis approach. The findings conform Fairclough's theory (1989) that the mood structure, whether declarative, interrogative, or imperative, can show the speaker's dominance and power. In the declarative mode, the speaker or the person giving the information tends to be in a higher position than the interlocutor. In the interrogative and imperative modes, the person who asks for both information and action from the interlocutor is generally more dominant. These findings reveal that white people consider their group to be superior to black people even though within the white group itself a social class division exists where those who are more successful will be more powerful than people who are struggling economically.
