Abstract

Dominated subjects or those Othered in many societies are among the most misrepresented class of people. Such misrepresentation has popularised their being imagined in literature and other fields of study as almost always despondent and meek individuals. In this context, this paper interrogates Western archetypal images on Others as passive recipients of domination. Applying De Certeau’s concept of “tactics”, this paper investigated how tactics of dominated subjects become immediate yet temporary solution among Others to disturb the everyday practices of Othering. Lualhati Bautista’s Gapo and Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s Matigari were scrutinised through discourse analysis and both revealed that “everyday” tactics are used by Othered characters to grapple with, respond to and, later on, overcome society’s exclusionary practices. Set in the after colonial environs, the novels portray Othered characters as capable of resistance and agency despite their political, economic and/or cultural marginalisation. Such use of tactics as means of resistance are however temporary and, ultimately, cannot solve their being dominated. Nonetheless, the counter-discourse this frame of thought offers as well as how tactics provides space and how space simultaneously allows the production of tactics can provide us a more nuanced understanding of resistance and the lived experiences of Others.

Abstract

One significant factor that has brought the Manggaraians into contact with many people from various cultures outside their place of origin is migration. Their awareness of the importance of preserving and retaining their cultural identity is growing once they experience intercultural interactions. Rap songs have become one of the means by which they observe migration and cultural identity closer as important phenomena in their life.            The present article studies these phenomena in Manggaraian rap songs. For this purpose, the concept of “rural idyll” suggested by Marc Mormont is used to understand the Manggaraians’ perspective on their home region, and the concept of identity as defined by Stuart Hall is used to examine the way the Manggaraians construe their cultural identity. This study is focused on 30 Manggaraian rap song that feature migration and Manggaraian cultural identity as the themes of the lyrics.            The study has led to the insight that the main reasons that motivate the Manggaraians to migrate are their desires to continue their education, find better livelihood, gain new experiences in foreign regions and look for better accesses and facilities that are unavailable in their home region to achieve their goals. The experience of living among people from many different cultures in foreign regions confront them with the need to maintain their cultural identity and contact with their home region. To fulfill this need they make attempts of revitalizing Manggaraian traditional values that they are familiar with throughout their growing-up years in Manggarai.

Abstract

Some diphthongs in Pagu, rather than being pronounced as a single syllable in a normal/rapid speed of speech, can alternate to appear in two different adjacent syllables when pronounced in a slow speech. In Pagu, the speed of speech affects the words syllable number and word stress placement. The previous study suggests that word stress in Pagu is placed on the penultimate syllable. This paper will discuss word stress placement in Pagu in two different speed of speech (normal and slow) as well as two adjacent vowels as affected by the speed and their position in the word. This sheds a light on the behaviors of two adjacent vowels in the stress placement area i.e. whether they are different vowels they can alternate between a diphthong or two separate vowels in two different syllables and when they are identical they cannot be separated into two different syllables when occur in the final position.

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

This research is an attempt to study politeness issues based on utturances of Osamu Dazai’s short story characters entitled “The courtesy Call”, the English  translation from Japanese “Shinyu Kokan” by Ivan Morris.  By using politeness maxim theory proposed by Leech, it is found that the antagonist  often violates  6 politeness maxims which are tend to obey by the protagonist and his wife. The violation and the obedience of politeness maxims constitute a reflection of character differences intended by the writer. Utterances expressed by Fiction’s characters are a rich source to exploit for studying politeness for pragmatic studies as their creation are based on careful observations of the author toward the world realities.

Abstract

Indonesian politics in the reform era provided a broad space for anyone to participate in competing for the executive and legislative seats. This impacts on how candidates or partners are able to sell themselves to the community in order to get positive sentiment in the eyes of the community. One way politicians make votes is how they use language as a function of communication to boost popularity and electability. To conduct political communication, politicians generally use advertising media, especially outdoor promotional media to propagate people. From the author's observation, the language used in the outdoor promotion media, almost all  regional election 2018 candidates in Aceh (Pidie Jaya, South Aceh, and Subulussalam) used language in the realm of pragmatic studies. Text in outdoor advertising media tends to use the meaning of implicature. Speech acts in outdoor advertising in the Pidie Jaya area are dominated by assertive/collaborative illocutionary utterances. There were 5 assertions of assertive illocutionary speech, 3 directive illocutionary speech acts, and one outdoor advertisement containing a mixture of assertive ilocution and direct illocutionary. In the South Aceh area 9 assertive ilocutionary utterances were found, and direct illocutionary speech acts were used for 5 utterances. Whereas in the Subulussalam area there are 5 utterances in assertive/collaborative illocutionary and directive utterances. A good understanding of implicature is learning for us in capturing the meaning of speech messages or speech acts of candidates for regional elections, which in the end are able to make smart political choices from the speeches and discourses of politicians that we consider relevant to the situation, of course also from track record support candidate so far. In the end we are not trapped like the statement delivered by Charles de Gaulle, President of the French Republic "Politicians never believe in their own words, they are actually surprised when people believe it". And the chosen one "Truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trustworthy." (QS. Al-Qashas: 26).

Abstract

Hunger, a novella by a contemporary American novelist, Elise Blackwell, centres in the story of a Russian botanist, Nikolai Vavilov, during the Leningrad siege in 1941. Vavilov protects his collection of seeds at the Research Institute of Plant Industry in Leningrad against all odds, to be preserved for research for future use. In the recounting moments during the siege, the narrative provides parallelism between Leningrad and the ancient city of Babylon. In postcolonial writing, this can be perceived as a form of nostalgic projection of the past (Walder, 2011). Such a parallelism triggers a postcolonial narrative analysis on the pairing of the two as affinity, focusing on the significance of the comparison between the two cities (between the apocalyptic present and the glorious past). The contribution of this parallelism will be discussed to understand the novella as a narrative mode of ecocriticism, with regards to the idea of prioritizing seeds over human lives, which also acts as the steering issue stirring the plot. By mainly referring to Garrard (2004) and Huggan and Tiffin (2010) on ecocriticism and postcolonial ecocriticism, this essay in general aims to investigate how the novella contributes new perspectives on the intertwining between postcolonial studies and ecocriticism.

Abstract

Roald Dahl is widely known for being one of the most creative writers, both in the ideas of the stories and the language use. His use of language is exceptional and tends to show some playfulness which makes the writing even more attractive. This play on language is in fact considered his writing style. What is worth noticing further is that playfulness can also be seen in the use of figurative language. This paper specifically focuses on the figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and personification in Dahl’s novels for children: The BFG, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and The Witches.  Since this paper reveals Dahl’s use of language play as his writing style, it belongs to Stylistics, the study of style. The paper uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data of similes and personification are collected and then analysed in terms of how they show the ingenious side of the writer in using language. The findings show that the figurative language used in the novels indeed makes optimal use of sound play and wordplay. Besides, the figurative language is also closely associated with the fact that the novels are intended for children.
