Abstract

This research studies Sinclair Ross's short story "The Lamp at Noon" (1939) through an ecofeminist and spatial theory framework, how the harsh prairie environment of the Great Depression intersects with patriarchal gender roles to subvert female agency. This research explores how Ross constructs the farmhouse as both material haven and psychological prison for protagonist Ellen, using spatial imagery and environmental symbolism to represent the dual pressures of environmental calamity and patriarchal imprisonment. Through close text analysis, the study demonstrates how the personified dust storm is both literal environmental calamity and metaphorical expression of Ellen's psychological suffering, serving as an externalized voice for her repressed emotions. This research uses the qualitative method utilizing the close reading with the theoretical framework ecofeminist, gender roles, and environmental determinism. The analysis shows how gendered divisions of labor under environmental catastrophe intensify Ellen's psychic trauma as her domestic labor becomes increasingly useless against the invading dust while her husband Paul maintains a narrative of heroic survival. Ross's narrative structure, with its alternating perspectives and rhythms of failed communication, highlights the utter isolation and psychological breakdown for women in crisis. This analysis is used to describe how nature writing reveals the uneven impact of ecological disasters on women and marginalized communities, offering knowledge relevant to current environmental and social justice movements.

Abstract

This research explores the use of code-mixing and code-switching in the YouTube collaboration video "Glitch in the Matrix" by Nessie Judge and Cinta Laura. The study aims to provide a comprehensive examination of these linguistic phenomena within the specific context of the video. Employing qualitative methods and a sociolinguistic approach, the research demonstrates that code-mixing and code-switching are natural occurrences among multilingual speakers. Data were collected through systematic observation, categorization, and analysis of the video content. Nessie Judge and Cinta Laura, both multilingual individuals, serve as the subjects of this study due to their frequent use of code-mixing and code-switching. The findings reveal numerous instances of code-mixing, including the integration of English words into Indonesian phrases and the introduction of English phrases into Indonesian discourse. The study also identified various types of code-mixing: inner code-mixing, outer code-mixing, and hybrid code-mixing. Regarding code-switching, language alternation was observed with specific reasons or purposes, classified based on the direction of the switch, either from English to Indonesian or from Indonesian to English. The analysis utilized the theoretical framework of Criper and Widdowson (1975), which provided a foundation for understanding the sociolinguistic dimensions of these phenomena.
