Abstract

Many people think that myth refers to only folklores or legends which have long been existed in a society. What if myth turns out to be more than just an ancient story our parents tell us? Through Paulo Coelho’s The Devil and Miss Prym, this article tries to find out the answer. In the novel, a ruthless person was described ruling a village named Viscos. He was Ahab, a man full of arrogance and meanness. He governed the village whose inhabitants are only a few. The existence of this Ahab is reminiscent of another Ahab found in the Bible. However, Coelho presents a surprise for the readers by creating a different Ahab, changing Ahab to a generous and pleasant man. This re-visioning (re-observing and re-examining from a different point of view) reveals the fact that the story of Ahab in the novel is more than merely an old story found in the Bible. Under the light of Roland Barthes’s theory of myth, this article aims at revealing how The Devil and Miss Prym re-visions the myth of King Ahab in the Bible. Myth in this novel can also be classified as the myth of freedom since it breaks some accepted concepts in society.Keywords: Re-vision, Myth, King Ahab

Abstract

an oppressed class against the oppressor class to overthrow the throne of the oppressor class. In this case, the class of proletariat against the class of capitalists. The proletariat are engaged in this class struggle because they want welfare in their life. Waiting for Lefty, a play written by Clifford Odets which is often considered a masterpiece, has a theme related to class struggle. It talks so much about the gap that separates the two classes mentioned previously and also the oppression that comes along. This oppression is found in the form of economic and legal oppression and are responded by the oppressed class in the form of class struggle. The class struggle itself becomes a reality after the oppressed class experiences the class consciousness. The oppression and class struggle depicted in the play will be the main focus of this study. Thus, it will be relevant to analyze the class struggle as the impact of oppression in Waiting for Lefty by applying the theory of Marxism.Keywords: oppression, class struggle, Marxism

Abstract

Recently, discourse analysis is very popular in analyzing literary text. One of approaches to analyze texts is using transitivity in Systemic Functional Grammar developed by Halliday. Therefore, in this paper, transitivity is employed to analyze the character, Miranda, in Jhumpa Lahiri’ short story. Because of the different processes, sentences or lines related to the character, Miranda, were collected and later were analyzed. The result shows that the mental process, the verbal process, the behavioral process, the material process, the relational process, and the existential process appear in the short story. It indicates that the writer wants to characterize deeply about the main character who took an important role in the story. Moreover, the mental process is dominant to appear in the story. By this frequent occurrence, we can see that the writer wants to convey the message that Miranda is a thinker who eventually realizes that having an affair is not fair to both the mistress and the wife.Keywords: short story, systemic functional grammar, transitivity approach

Abstract

This article attempts to map out the development of language and gender research and studies from its early stage to recent trend. The early language and gender research is inclined to essentialist view; and it subsequently changes its direction into a more non-essentialist perspective. Both essentialist and non-essentialist perspectives on language and gender research are not necessarily affiliated with feminist linguistics. Their research findings mostly conclude that women’s language is inferior and women are not capable users of language. In a response to such “sexist” findings, various feminist scholars across the disciplines venture to rethink and redefine gender and language. Among many different approaches that they employ are two notable views, namely, the “dominance” and “difference” perspectives. One views man-woman differences in language use as a reflection of their power relation: the dominant and the subordinate. Meanwhile, the other sees this different linguistic use as a result of the different ‘sub-cultures’ of their social environment (Coates, 2000: 413 and also Litosseliti, 2006:27). This shift toward a critical feminist linguistics is in fact informed by the current theories in critical thinking and feminist perspectives.Keywords: language, gender, feminist perspective

Abstract

“The Problem”, a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, expresses Emerson’s preoccupation with the problem of vocation. It is about Emerson’s dilemma of his admiration toward church leaders despite his refusal to remain within their ranks. “The Problem” is analyzed from its diction -which consists of ecclesiastical words- to create images that can help the readers understand the poem. This study covers two main problems. The first is dedicated to find the meaning of the ecclesiastical words- especially those that are related to a minister- in “The Problem” and the second is devoted to find the images created from the ecclesiastical meanings in the previous problem.The results of this analysis show that in “The Problem” there are twelve expressions containing ecclesiastical meanings. The ecclesiastical meaning of a word is sometimes different from the general meaning. The ecclesiastical meaning is more specific than the general meaning. The second finding is that the ecclesiastical meanings can result in the perception of six images. The first is about the poet’s liking of the job of a minister and its burdens as well. The second shows that the poet would be a minister, with all of its burdens, even though he cannot see a minister’s faith yet. The third is about the poet’s hesitance to be a minister. The fourth is that the Church with its host, chanting choir, and priest Christianize the people. The fifth is about the Bible and the prophets that teach about God and salvation. The sixth is about the poet’s admiration toward Chrysostom, Augustine, and Taylor and also the reason why he chose to leave the ministry.Keywords: ecclesiastical words, images

Abstract

Resyllabification happens when the syllable structure of the source language differ from that of the recipient language. This article aims at observing how Indonesian words borrowed by English language are resyllabified in order to match with the syllable structures of English language as the recipient language. Results show that the resyllabification of English loanwords can be analyzed by applying deletion and addition rule. The result of deletion rule is the reduced number of syllable of loanwords (such as in cutch, cockatoo, cajeput, kris, prau, tombac, and trepan), while addition rule results on the addition of the number of syllable (such as in catechu, caladium, mangosteen, and pandanus). Keywords: resyllabification, borrowing, source language, recipient language
