Abstract

Literature from across academic disciplines has demonstrated significant links between emotional valence and language. For example, Whissell’s Dictionary of Affect in Language defines three dimensions upon which the emotionality of words is describable, and Ekman’s Theories of Emotion include the perception and internalization of facial expressions. The present study seeks to expand upon these works by exploring whether holding facial expressions alters the fundamental speech properties of spoken language. Nineteen (19) participants were seated in a soundproof chamber and were asked to speak a series of pseudowords containing target phonemes. The participants spoke the pseudowords either holding no facial expression, smiling, or frowning, and the utterances recorded using a high-definition microphone and phonologically analyzed using PRAAT analysis software. Analyses revealed a pervasive gender differences in frequency variables, where males showed lower fundamental but higher formant frequencies compared to females. Significant main effects were found within the fundamental and formant frequencies, but no effects were discerned for the intensity variable. While intricate, these results are indicative of an interaction between the activity of facial musculature when reflecting emotional valence and the sound properties of speech uttered simultaneously.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not using collaborative writing to compose paragraphs improves students' writing abilities at SMA Negeri 1 Sampolawa's VIII grade students. It also sought to determine whether or not using collaborative writing sparks students' interest in writing. An experiment using a quassi design was used in this study. Cluster random sampling was utilized as the sample-taking technique, with two classes out of three being taken. 25 students from the XI IPA-2 class were separated into an experimental group by the researcher. and the XI IPA-1 class, which served as the control group, had 25 students. As a result, 50 students made up the research sample. The test and questionnaire served as the study instrument. The research tool was categorized using multiple methods. Pretest, posttest, and questionnaire were those.The results of this study demonstrated that, following treatment with the collaborative writing approach, students' English writing proficiency increased. Based on the experimental group's pretest mean score of 65.97 and posttest mean score of 77.23. The research's hyphotesis resulted in notable effects. Based on the average student perception score of 3,87—a very high level—it is determined.

Abstract

"How were the second-year students of SMA Negeri 2 Baubau ability in determining syllable-stress in the words?" was the research's problem statement. Additionally, the following were the goals of this study: to determine the second-year SMA Negeri 2 Baubau pupils' proficiency with syllable stress. The goal of this study was to assess the second-year students at SMA Negeri 2 Baubau's proficiency with syllable stress. Descriptive quantitative design was adopted in this study. The instrument utilized in this study was a question test. Purposive random sampling was employed to choose the study's sample. In order to gather data for this study, the researcher used a test that consisted of questions about stressed syllables and asked the students to respond. This was examined using percentage analysis to establish which classifications (very good, good, adequate, sufficient, and poor) the second-year SMA Negeri 2 Baubau students used to identify syllable stress in the terms. The results showed that, in terms of syllable-stress in words, the second-year students at SMA Negeri 2 Baubau scored very good, good, adequate, sufficient, and poor as follows: no student received a score of 90–100, 7 students (37%), only 9 students (47%), 8 students (42%), or sufficient, and 14 students (74%), or poor. As a result, the second-year SMA Negeri 2 Baubau students' average proficiency in identifying syllable-stress in words was adequate. Consistent with the aforementioned findings, the researcher discussed how the mean score of 58,4 suggested that the second year of SMA Negeri 2 Baubau was still challenging in determining syllable-stress in words.The majority of pupils in the sufficient achievement group of their ability to identify syllable-stress in words were unaware of stress, albeit occasionally they were.
