Abstract

This paper exposes the existence of Batak Toba's ancient script and the shift of its authenticity values during the rapid development of technology. The analysis adapts cultural and historical approaches to be exposed qualitatively by observing several transcripts virtually. Technology is viewed from two perspectives: a media that brings this ancient heritage back to be part of modern culture; and the means that lead this ancient writing to lose its authenticity. Several former documents from field and library research are compared, especially the use of several computer software, which has been developed to enable users to write in Batak Toba script through transliteration. The result reveals that efforts to conserve this cultural heritage should be accompanied by careful linguistic assistance so that the script and its writing convention would be maintained.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the writing style in the novel The Curse of the King by Peter Lerangis, especially in its figurative speech namely metaphor and simile. The classification of metaphors analyzed uses Newmark's classification and the simile classification used in this study is the classification described by Fromilhague. A qualitative method was used to answer the problem of the study. The research showed that there were thirteen metaphors and fifty-two similes. The metaphor compositions found were one Dead Metaphor, two Recent Metaphors, Three Stock metaphors, seven Original Metaphors, and no Cliche Metaphors. The similes found were five Explicit Similes and forty-seven Implicit Similes. Metaphors and similes in the novel use many popular references such as the words of Donald Trump, party guest, Children of the Corn, Velcro, Ninja, props in a movie, Soprano, Pizza, Flashmob, a dancer on steroids, Looney Tunes, and ET. The combination of past history with a writing style that uses popular figures of speech becomes an interesting mix that makes the novel gain many fans in the world. The novelty of this type of research is still very broad, especially in research on new words in historical fiction such as in the work of Peter Lerangis.

Abstract

Children with special needs have taken wider attentions in research, especially in finding solutions of how to improve their abilities in communication. The purpose of this research is to identify the challenges and barriers in speech production in English by students with hearing impairments in Pangkalpinang City. Investigation and documentation were the main stages in collecting data. The data were studied using a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Based on the foundation of phonetic theory by Collins and Mess (2019) regarding speech production and the character of children with hearing impairment by Dennis Fry, this research is aimed at analyzing the sounds produced by children with special needs. Experimental observation using the Praat voice analyzer was carried out on students with three types of disabilities: students with vision impairment, hearing impaired, and mental or intellectual disability. The observation results showed that students with hearing impairments (partial and total deafness) were the main concern as their abilities in perceiving and producing speech gave them opportunities to communicate in English despite the barriers, they had to face in pronouncing the words. As conclusion, students with hearing impairment both partial and total deafness produced their speech based on other vocal tracts due to their disability, and certain treatment in speech production should be suggested especially the phonemes involving internal articulators, including alveolar, velar, post-alveolar and nasal sounds. Proximities made in speech showed possibilities to refine their pronunciation.

This study uses a Comparative Literature approach that focuses on Zepetnek's theory of comparisons of literary works with different languages or cultures. Qualitative descriptive is used for the method in this study with a research design that is looking for similarities, differences, and the values contained in the two stories. The results obtained from this study are similarities such as 1. the main character's body size is 1 inch, 2. the origin of the main character's birth comes from prayer, 3. the main character's profession which is a knight, 4. setting of place at the beginning and the end of the story, 5. and the enemy of the main character who is a giant. In addition, differences were found, namely 1. differences in the nature of the main character, and 2. the ending of the story.

Abstract

Listening comprehension in Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) has its own challenges, both in terms of listening and the comprehension process. This article explores aspects of prosody in short dialogues used in listening comprehension tests: duration, pitch, and intensities. The method applied in this research was descriptive qualitative with phonetic approach based on Collins and Mess’s Practical Phonetics and Phonology. A recording from ETS official website, consisting of thirty short dialogs were analyzed to perform the durations and pitch variations with the assistance of voice analyzer, Praat, especially for imaging process of pitch contour and measuring duration. Phonetic transcription showed the assimilation and elision processes occurred as the result of connected speech, while pitch variations tended to show more on attitudinal function, grammatical function, and fewer emphases on significant information. The voice actors performed the speech of General American accents naturally; however the nature of conversation itself would not be realized since this section is designed purposively to examine test-takers ability on semantic and pragmatic area. The duration of the speech is displayed as naturally as possible in the context of everyday conversation so that the perception of listeners who are not native speakers assesses it as rapid speech.

Abstract

Bangka Island has several kinds of tourist attractions, such as natural tourism, historical tourism, cultural tourism and artificial tourism. The names of tourist attractions on Bangka Island still follow the names of the areas where the tourist attractions are located. Unfortunately, many local residents do not acknowledge the origins and meanings of the names of these tourist attractions. There is a need for an in-depth study regarding the naming of tourist attractions on Bangka Island to increase public awareness and the body of knowledge that needs to be preserved to increase tourism potential on Bangka Island. Research on the toponymy of tourist attractions on the island of Bangka uses ethnosemantic methods, and the results are described qualitatively. Ten tourist attractions were selected by random sampling based on the availability of information in the community. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that the names of tourist attractions on Bangka Island consist of three aspects, namely the linguistic aspect, both generic and specific, and the historical aspect of the formation and dynamics of society in the area.
