Abstract

Although extensive research on Javanese has focused on politeness, speech levels, and also the preservation of social harmony, studies addressing its harsh words and expressions remain limited. This gap fails to address how Javanese accommodate the expression of conflict, frustration, mockery, as well as other forms of emotional intensity that challenge the idealized image of politeness. The main objective of this study was to investigate the lexicons that constitute harsh words or expressions in Javanese, with particular attention to their sources and the cultural analogies that shape their harsh meanings. Data were generated through the introspective method and literature review and analyzed using Conceptual Metaphor and Dysphemism Theory. The analysis revealed that Javanese harsh words or expressions are grouped into three categories: physical activities, physical states, and body parts or organs, with their usage reflecting two opposite poles: negative, when employed to express conflict, frustration, criticism, or mockery; and neutral, when used playfully among close friends. The findings indicate that the harshness of Javanese expressions is not embedded in the lexical items themselves, but instead arises from the situational and socio-cultural contexts, along with the meanings they convey.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to identify and analyze variations in subject–verb agreement patterns in German and English through an examination of the short story Hänsel und Gretel. The study employs a qualitative contrastive analysis method based on the fairy tale. The analysis focuses on the number of subjects (singular and plural), the use of the past tense, copular verbs, and constructions with modal verbs. The findings reveal six main patterns that reflect the characteristics of each language. Some patterns show similarities, such as singular subjects in the past tense with third-person singular verb forms, as well as constructions with copular and modal verbs in the singular form. However, there are also significant differences, particularly in the use of verbs for plural subjects and plural modal verb constructions. These findings indicate that German has a more complex conjugation system compared to the simpler and more consistent English system. Therefore, the results can help language learners understand the structural differences between German and English and improve the accuracy of grammatical pattern usage in learning and communicationKeywords: Variation, Pattern Subject-Verb Agreement, Morphosyntax, Short Story
