Abstract

On the day of Eid al-Fitr and Songkran celebration, massive exodus from big cities such as Jakarta and Bangkok to rural areas in Indonesia and Thailand takes place as people wish to celebrate the tradition with the loved ones at home. Hence, this mass departure turns the capital into a temporary desolate city. This paper aimed at unveiling the symbolic meaning behind the largest annual homecoming of family reunion in Indonesia and Thailand to observe Eid al-Fitr and Songkran feast. This qualitative research examined the symbolisms in these two most-celebrated festivals in Indonesia and Thailand calendar that breathe similarity with Sufi (Islamic mysticism) imagery. By applying hermeneutic approach specifically of Paul Ricouer as theoretical concept, the finding shows that the main symbolism in Eid al-Fitr and Songkran, the homecoming, demonstrates the core symbolism in Sufi tradition. This symbol is a metaphor of union or invitation for union with the beloved as the ultimate point in Sufi tradition.

Abstract

The linguistic phenomena studied in pragmatics evolve over time. Among the pragmatic phenomena that can be mentioned here are: implicature, deixis, presupposition, entailment, language politeness, language impoliteness and language phatic. There are certainly other pragmatic phenomena outside the phenomena mentioned above. In the future, other new pragmatic phenomena are expected to arise, along with the better development of pragmatic studies. Among those pragmatic phenomena, the phenomenon of language impoliteness can be regarded as a new phenomenon. How the constellation of pragmatic phenomena in the language study with the specific culture perspective becomes the main issue discussed in this short article. The benefit obtained by understanding the constellation of this new pragmatic phenomenon is that the interpretation of the pragmatic intent or meaning of language impoliteness becomes increasingly sharp, profound and comprehensive because its association with other pragmatic phenomena is sometimes an inevitable fact.

Abstract

David Mamet is one of the greatest modern American playwrights whose works have dominated the stages during the twentieth century. His work entitled Glengarry Glen Ross is a great echo of the world about the businessmen in the United States. This study is devoted to the analysis of David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross based on Marxism point of view, in which it focuses on the power praxis portrayed within its story. By so, this study scrutinizes how American Dream creates unethical and immoral American corrupted society in Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross and how the notion of American Dream is being challenged. The findings of this study show that the salesmens choices, preferences, wants and desires are affected by ideological practices. These ideological practices represent the production of corrupted ideology for the notion of American Dream is being reduced and merely an utopian notion. Thus, eventually, David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross displays a deeper conception that the salesmen or working class people in general, are the subjects of the capitalism.

Abstract

Yogyakarta is a multicultural city in which people from different regions and ethnicity live and well known as one of the best foreign tourist destinations in Indonesia. This situation gives an excellent opportunity for the community to communicate with others whose different cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, and language. Commonly, they talk in Javanese, the local language spoken in Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, due to the engagement with those who speak in different languages, Indonesian and English are gaining more frequent usage. Concerning this situation, this paper is to investigate the language choice among students in Yogyakarta. This study also scrutinises their language attitude toward English, colloquial Indonesian, and local languages. In achieving the objectives, a sociolinguistic questionnaire is given to 100 sample respondents who are the students of Universitas Sanata Dharma. The results show that the students have appreciative attitudes towards the colloquial Indonesian, English, and local languages. The investigation on the language choice indicates that the students choose to communicate using Indonesian. The dominance of Indonesian shifts the use of local languages.

Abstract

Before the rise of contemporary literary theory, literary study mainly concerned with the nature, role, function of literary works and general schema for literary criticism. The rise of contemporary literary theories, such as structuralism, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism, new historicism, postcolonialism, and so on have changed the nature of literary study.

Contemporary literary theory brings a broad array of fundamental issues to attention, such as the act of reading, interpretative strategy, epistemology of literary scholarships, nationalism, genre, gender, originality, intertextuality, social hegemony, authorial intention, truth, representation and so on.

Abstract

Participants in an interaction risk their sense of face in every action (Goffman, 1967). Requests, by definition, are face-threatening acts (Brown and Levinson, 1978). In making a request, a speaker not only threatens the hearers negative face as he impinges on the hearers claim to freedom of action; he also threatens his positive face as he exposes himself to the possibility of being denied or rejected. In order to minimize this possibility, the speaker has to present himself in such a way that the hearer would have a positive impression of him. This paper examined letters of request written by students of a university in Metro Manila for noticeable forms of self-presentation. Following Goffmans thesis (1956) that self-presentation is a tangible component of identity, this paper analyzed lexico-syntactic patterns, and impression management strategies utilized by the writers to express their communicative intention (make a request), and construct an identity deemed necessary in attaining the hearers approval.

Abstract

The survey of literacy rate held by the international institution has placed Indonesia in the last position compared to other countries surveyed. This shows how low the countrys reading and writing culture. On the other hand, the Indonesian language becomes the subject that is positioned as the medium to communicate diverse concepts of knowledge. Therefore, the Indonesian language is used as the instrument to gain knowledge or, to put it simply, topics discussed in Indonesian language learning involve other subjects. In addition, text-based learning is an important thing in the implementation of Indonesian language learning. One of the texts that can be used in learning Indonesian is literary texts. This article discusses the description of text-based language learning in forms of the text conversion and the example of text-based language learning using literature as the main text. Learning using literary text conversion is one of the writing literacy activities that can be implemented in schools.
