Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify expressions of dislike and sorrow from the perpetrator of the murder in the case of Judge Jamaluddin's murder. The murder by Zuraida Hanum and two other perpetrators was motivated by deep dislike, insult, and revenge. Forensic Linguistics, as an applied language science, is used to analyze language and law scientifically in messages and statements related to crime case reports. The theory used is expressive speech acts from pragmatics by Searle in Yule. A qualitative descriptive method was used with data collection procedures related to the research topic. Expressive Speech Acts and feeling of trauma from Sigmund Freud's theory of impersonation trauma, interpersonal trauma, and attached trauma helps in comprehensively understanding the meaning of expressions, specifically focusing on dislike and sorrow as the causal relationship explained in detail. This research takes sentences from primary data sources in the form of court decisions and secondary data sources from books, journals, and current news. Findings of expressive acts and trauma thus conclude that the expressive speech acts experienced by the perpetrator are significant, including dislike and sorrow, and interpersonal trauma of the perpetrator dominates the reporting of this murder case.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the author's worldview in Perahu Kertas, a novel by Dewi Lestari, using a qualitative approach within the framework of genetic structuralism. The analysis focuses on three main aspects: (1) the socio-cultural conditions depicted in the novel, particularly the characters’ interactions with their social environment; (2) societal perspectives on work, social status, and the conflict between parental expectations and individual aspirations; and (3) the author’s worldview, which highlights the struggles of young graduates navigating between securing a stable job for survival and pursuing their dreams for the sake of idealism. The findings demonstrate that the novel reflects the realities of Indonesian society, particularly the challenges faced by young individuals as they balance their ambitions with external pressures.

Abstract

This study examines readers’ responses to two folktales Timun Mas (Indonesia) and Jack and the Beanstalk (England) with the objective of identifying how cultural values shape intellectual and emotional engagement with narrative texts. Data were collected from 30 undergraduate students majoring in English literature. Employing an experimental approach, participants read both folktales and responded through structured questionnaires and open-ended written reflections. The findings reveal notable variations in readers’ interpretations of the two stories. In Timun Mas, participants expressed both positive and negative responses influenced by their cultural backgrounds. Many appreciated the integration of Javanese cultural elements such as the naming of characters, the inclusion of traditional objects like terasi (shrimp paste), and references to takhyul (superstition) which contributed to the story’s cultural richness and authenticity. Readers also admired Timun Mas’s perseverance in confronting adversity, reflecting cultural values of resilience and moral strength. Conversely, some participants criticized the character of Mbok Srini for breaking her promise to the giant, viewing this act as inconsistent with ethical principles valued in their own culture. In contrast, responses to Jack and the Beanstalk were predominantly negative, with readers interpreting Jack’s actions as morally questionable. Many described him as greedy, deceitful, and unjustified in killing the giant. Several participants suggested that the story should have concluded with a tragic ending in which Jack faces the consequences of his actions. Overall, the study underscores the profound influence of cultural background on readers’ moral evaluations, emotional responses, and interpretive engagement with folktales across different cultural traditions.
