Abstract

This study analyzes the language styles used by Susi Pudjiastuti in her speech Menjaga Kekayaan Laut Indonesia and the social factors influencing the language styles. The writers used Keraf’s theory of language style (2009) to examine the word choice and sentence structure, and Holmes’ theory of social factors (2013). Employing a qualitative method, the study focused on the utterances containing language styles. The findings show that the most frequently used language style based on word choice was the conversational style. In terms of sentence structure, repetition and climax were the mostly used by Susi Pudjiastuti. These results suggest that social factors namely participant, topic, setting, and function played a role in shaping her language styles. Future research is encouraged to apply the full framework of Keraf (2009) to explore other forms of public communication.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the impacts of othering on human-ghoul hybrids in Tokyo Ghoul and the coping mechanisms they develop to deal with the impacts. The topic was chosen because the text’s plot is directly driven by the impacts of othering. The applied concepts are taken from Said’s “othering”, Bhabha’s mimicry, hybridity & ambivalence, and Glissant’s rhizomatic identity. The main impacts of othering are alienation and aggression. Alienation forces hybrids into a normless state, in which they are powerless. They become more aggressive to resist threats posed by humans and ghouls. The main coping mechanism developed by the hybrids is to build identities that mimic the pure parties. In conclusion, the hybrids experience othering. Therefore, they are alienated and are forced to become aggressive to resist the othering. The aforementioned factors impact the hybrids negatively. Thus, they cope by mimicking the norms of the “self” to develop rhizomatic identities.
