Abstract

This study analyzes narratives written by six students who joined a story writing contest. It is assumed that the students who joined in the writing contest had fair knowledge in writing, so the texts may achieve coherence. This study uses qualitative research in the form of discourse analysis. The focuses of the study are to investigate micro and macro level coherence, tense use, and the context of situation of the texts. This study uses the theories from Thornbury (2005), Ellis (1997), and Eggins (1994). This study is aimed to know the quality of coherent text in the students’ narrative. The findings of this study showed that constant theme patterns became the most frequent occurred in the narratives followed by zig-zag patterns and sentences which has no patterns. The sentences which have patterns might be logic in continuity. For the macro-level coherence, key word aspect became the most found in the narratives. The words represented the main characters in the stories. The macro-scripts showed that the narratives mostly use the script orientation-complication-resolution in arranging the paragraphs. The tense errors were found in almost all narratives. The findings showed three narratives had more errors than correct ones. The situational coherence showed that the fields in the texts were about heroes who had done something precious in their life. The tenors of the texts were same, namely between story writers and story readers. The modes of the texts were also the same. The texts are delivered by written media, so the texts did not have visual and aural distance between story writers and story readers. The goal of the texts is only for constructing experience.

Abstract

This study attempts to explain the flouts of Grice’s maxims as well as the relation between verbal and visual representations in an animated cartoon serial. The descriptive qualitative approach with the content analysis is used in the research design. The data are in the form of verbal and visual representations. The verbal data are the utterances taken from the dialogs; the visual data are the screen captures from the scenes in SpongeBob SquarePants. The results of the study show that all the four Grice’s maxims, namely quantitative, qualitative, relation and manner, are flouted. The maxims of quantity are flouted through too little and too much information. Next, the maxims of quantity are flouted through untrue information and information with lack of evidence. Next, the maxim of relation is flouted through non-relevant information. Finally, the maxim of manner is flouted through ambiguous, obscure, and lengthy information. Meanwhile, to deal with the relationship between verbal and visual elements in the flouts of maxims, the verbal or linguistic representations are evidently supported by the visual ones. The visual analysis in flout of maxims plays the essential role as it can get the pragmatic contexts clearer to help the analysis.

Abstract

The ability to implement the Thematic development is important in writing exposition text. Moreover, the exposition text is written to convince the readers. It means the writers are required to achieve the readers’ expectation. This study therefore aims to explore EFL learners’ exposition texts using Thematic progressions. The analysis of this element reveals the logical relations which become the main aspect in the text to achieve micro-level of coherence. Three exposition texts written by high, average and low proficiency level learners, are analyzed using systemic functional linguistics approaches on discourse analysis. The analysis reveals that the exposition text written by high proficiency level learner successfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence it achieves the micro-level of coherence. The Theme re-iteration patterns are implemented to keep the text focused. The zig-zag patterns are used to construct newly introduced information. Then, the multiple Theme patterns are implemented, especially in thesis statements of the texts, to preview the argument that will follow in the texts. Differently, the exposition text written by average proficiency level learner overuses one of the patterns, namely the Theme re-iteration patterns. This makes the text stuck in only same idea. However, the micro-level of coherence is still achieved as the logical relations of the text are still implemented successfully. Lastly, the exposition text written by low proficiency level learner unsuccessfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence the micro-level of coherence is not achieved. In sum, the implementation of Thematic progressions helps the texts to hang together and make sense.
