Abstract

This study is aimed at finding out how meanings are realized in the election campaigns in the contemporary Indonesia and what role language takes in exercising power? The close-up linguistic analysis of three different texts has illustrated that the texts are rich in meanings: they make not just meanings about what goes on and why, but also meanings about relationship and attitudes, and meanings about distance and proximity. By relating specific linguistic choices to the construction and reflection of situational, cultural and ideological contexts, these three different texts have been shown to in fact encode meanings about such far reaching dimensions as: ways of talking to your die-hard fans, the experience of politicians, the responsibility of a statesman and expected behavior of a “good” leader. Meanings of the political campaigns in contemporary Indonesia are explicitly realized in a subtle ways. The exercise of power is achieved through ideological workings of language. Public space serves a rhetorical means. Competing figures establish their voices by constructing counter-narratives in public space.   Key words: meanings, election campaign, cultural context, ideological context, public space, rhetorical means, counter narratives.

Abstract

Based on the concern that in teachings, our teachers are not sure how to exploit texts, this study aims at describing what makes a text and what makes a text make sense. A literary work entitled Sofia the First has been the object of the study. The focus is on unlocking the text before analyzing its cohesiveness and its coherence. Reference and topic /comment of the text is also discussed before describing the advantages of using such literary text in teaching and learning process. The findings suggest that individual sentence has been a concern of traditional language teaching. However, it its natural state, language is not isolated sentences. Rather, it is the text that is the significant unit of language. As teachers of foreign language users, our top priority is to help learners understand and produce texts for different purposes in a variety of genres. Issues such as what makes a text and what makes a text make sense are significant to address.

Abstract

A text has an almost infinite number of possible interpretations. And theinterpretation themselves, declares some deconstructionists, are just as creativeand important as the text being interpreted. This study is an attempt to explainhow the interpretations on Obamas speech make meanings in the way they do.Apart from the realization of experiential, interpersonal and textual meanings aswell as the field, tenor and mode and their context of culture, it is revealed thatText 1 under this investigation illustrates the ideological claim that the personalappeal of an orator, appeals to the emotions of the audiences through theappropriate choice of themes and metaphors of the oration, and appeals to logicor reason should be possessed by a shrewd orator and politician, who is alwaysable to put his audiences into his frame of mind everywhere he delivers hisspeeches. Whereas Text 2 illustrates the ideological claim that despite apersonal power of persuasion you possess, one is tempted to ask how an officialvisit means anything. While it is true that you spent a considerable years in acity during your childhood, your statement should not be overly emphasized,analyzed nor treated as anything but political rhetoric aimed at further boostingthe vivacious intellectual crowd. As readers of texts, we need to develop skillsto be able to make explicit the ideological positions encoded.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the cohesion, coherence, thematic progression and the unity of meanings of the texts in the tenth grade of vocational high school textbook. There are twenty five texts in English textbook published by LP2IP as the data source. This study is a descriptive qualitative discourse analysis. The finding show that the high percentage of cohesive devices is reference and repetition, which means that the texts are cohesive enough. The use of reference and coherence contribute the unity of meanings grammatically and lexically. The high percentage of reiteration theme in the texts means that the texts use simple sentence. The use of simple sentence is because the readers are students of tenth grade vocational high school. There are five out of twenty five texts that have problem in thematic progression. 80% texts are unified, and 20 % are problematic text. The problems occur because of the overuse of reiteration theme and the unconnected idea of the clauses. As a material in teaching and learning, texts should be unified to make the students easy to understand.

Abstract

This present study is aimed at explaining the mood realization of the learning activities in the grade VII English textbook published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. It is designed within the framework of qualitative research and the method is discourse analysis. The result shows that the learning activities give more imperative mood than the others. Afterwards, speaking skill is included more than the other skills.To achieve communicative activity, the good balance between indicative and imperative mood should be realized in the process of teaching and learning English. Although teacher has a powerful authority and that is natural since teacher is the leader in the classroom, the process of giving and demanding information between teacher and students could be realised to achieve communicative activity. Subsequently, despite the percentage of speaking is the highest, listening has the least percentage in this textbook. Listening is importance in our class since English is the students’ foreign language. Therefore, it is essential that listening activities should be included in a balanced portion with speaking activities in order to understand spoken discourse.
