Abstract

Language in context frequently reflects conscious or unconscious gender stereotypes. With children's literature, this may contribute to the development of a stereotypical gender identity. This study examines the linguistic context of two body parts, face and eyes, in two corpora of British children's fiction: adventure books aimed at 'boys and girls', and school and family stories aimed at girls only. Both corpora comprise texts from the mid-twentieth century, which is regarded as a period of strong gender polarisation, and specifically popular rather than prizewinning texts. Analysis employed LancsBox 6.0 corpus software. Faces and eyes may both be used to express emotion, and particular emotions have been associated with traditional binary gender stereotypes. It was hypothesised that these corpora would demonstrate such binary stereotyping. The study found considerable overlap between the two genres, but some distinctions suggesting that the literature for girls was somewhat less stereotyped than that aimed at a mixed readership. The expression of some emotions, such as fear and anger, tended to suggest stereotypical linking of these emotions with a particular gender, although less strongly than has been found in some other studies. It is hoped that these findings will contribute to our understanding of how a child's developing gender identity may be influenced.

Abstract

The conflict in Papua has been ongoing since 1963 due to the Papuans' intention for independence. This conflict has been reported in many news media. Two news media outlets, Benar News and The Guardian, use framing when reporting issues related to the conflict in Papua. The framing in Benar News and The Guardian shapes the perceptions toward the issue of the Papua conflict. Accordingly, this study aims to explore the use of framing analysis in Benar News and The Guardian while reporting the problem related to the conflict in Papua and the depiction shown by Benar News and The Guardian when reporting the conflict in Papua. Using qualitative methods, this study applies Robert Entman's framing analysis approach, supported by text analysis in critical discourse analysis (CDA) by van Dijk, to analyze the data taken from two news outlets about the release of the pilot as one of the conflicts in Papua in Benar News and The Guardian. The findings reveal that Benar News and The Guardian frame the issue corresponding to the news. Benar News depicts the event as the Indonesian authorities' effort to release the pilot, who is captivated and taking a side toward Indonesia. Besides that, The Guardian depicts the issue as how the Papuan separatists face a struggle to gain independence that makes them kidnap the pilot as a bargaining chip, but heroically value human rights by releasing the pilot. Then, The Guardian takes a side toward the Papuans. This brings the idea that framing analysis supported by text analysis in CDA reveals how the news media present the issue to audiences. Therefore, the application of framing analysis supported by CDA's text analysis indicates that Benar News and The Guardian examine framing when reporting the issue of the Papua conflict according to their view.

Abstract

Conversation Analysis is a part of Discourse Analysis that is usually used to analyze conversations in human interaction. Since movies can be considered as a piece of literature made to resemble real life, this theory is adapted to discuss how characters in the movies interact to communicate. The different styles of communication between characters of different genders is a gripping subject to explore. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to analyze conversations between female-male, female-female, and male-male characters in the movie Barbie.   Since the data gathered were utterances in conversation, the adjacency pairs in the conversation were analyzed to see the pattern. The finding showed that there were differences in the types of adjacency pairs used between females and males in conversation. Female-Female conversations in Barbie tend to have more variety in types of adjacency pairs used if compared to Male-Male conversations. Meanwhile, the conversation between different genders, if initiated by a female (Female-Male conversations), was likely to have numerous types of adjacency pairs in contrast to if initiated by a male (Male-Female conversations). When the Indonesian subtitle was analyzed, there were no types of adjacency pairs modified through translation.   The findings also revealed that certain types of adjacency pairs were found only in specific gender conversations. Furthermore, the discussion revealed that gender plays a role in the choice of adjacency pairs employed.

Abstract

With the advancement of ChatGPT, scholars are delving deeper into the tool's ability to generate various texts, including literary texts. It becomes potential due to the lack investigations on prompting ChatGPT for translating children’s nursery rhymes, particularly in Indonesia, making to the novelty of this study. This article demonstrates how ChatGPT reacts to different prompts when translating a nursery rhyme “The Tree Rhyme”, by concentrating on the lexical and syntactical customization. This preliminary investigation was conducted in three phases: 1) prompt design, which includes one basic prompt functioning as a baseline for comparison and three other prompts functioning as clues to explain the case of linguistic customization; 2) text generation, which takes a level-2 nursery rhyme book entitled “The Tree Rhyme” from a digital repository, StoryWeaver; and 3) linguistic customization evaluation, which was done by comparing ChatGPT’s translations in response to the four provided prompts and observing the lexical and syntactical customization. The findings reveal that ChatGPT's lexical customization includes changing the last word of stanzas, reducing the number of syllables, subtracting words, and displaying child-friendly expressions. These modifications cannot result in translations that maintain the original text's rhyme scheme. Regarding the syntactical customization, ChatGPT generates concise structures containing aspects of children's literature by reordering, unit shifting, sentence simplification, direct construction, and phrase simplification, but still unable to replicate the ST’s rhyme scheme. In conclusion, ChatGPT changes diction and simplifies sentences when reacting to cues to translate the nursery rhyme, but it cannot preserve the ST’s rhyme scheme.

Abstract

This research is a forensic linguistic study that concentrates on the analysis of speech acts spoken by a companion from one of the representative offices of a ministry in Cilacap during an investigative interview between an investigator and a child victim of a sexual violence crime. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the speech of a child victim and a companion during an investigative interview that occurred at a police station in Cilacap. This investigation is qualitative in nature and is structured as a case study. Speech data were collected during the investigative interview using listening and note-taking techniques. The data were subsequently analyzed in accordance with Weigand’s (2010) dialogic speech act theory. Additionally, the function and authority of a companion in the investigative interview process are clarified by the Regulation of the Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection of the Republic of Indonesia (Permen PPPA) No. 2 of 2022. The analysis results indicate that the code of ethics outlined in Permen PPPA No. 2 of 2022 is contravened by the companion’s dominance of the explorative speech act and the presence of the directive speech act. This implies that the companion must be re-informed about the code of ethics outlined in the Women Empowerment and Child Protection Regulation No. 2 of 2022. The findings of this research have the potential to assist the relevant ministries in enhancing the efficacy and authority of an assistant in the interview process related to the investigation of sexual violence crimes.

Abstract

Sexual harassment in higher education is a pervasive issue that carries serious implications for both institutional reputation and the well-being of victims. To address this, universities have developed anti-sexual harassment policies to guide in managing such incidents. However, the language of these documents can sometimes hinder victims’ willingness to report perpetrators. This study examined the use of deontic modalities in the anti-sexual harassment policies of three major Ghanaian universities: the University of Ghana, the University of Cape Coast, and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. The dataset comprised three official policy documents totaling 21219 tokens and 2675 word types, which were compiled into a specialized corpus. Using LancsBox software, we categorised the modal verbs into three deontic obligations (necessity, advisability, and possibility) and analyzed them from both institutional and victim/complainant perspectives. The findings revealed the presence of 580 modal verbs across the corpus. Deontic necessity was the most prominent, accounting for 55% of occurrences, followed by possibility (33.1%) and advisability (11.9%). Within the context of deontic necessity, institutional perspectives dominated (84.6%), framing universities as the primary agents of responsibility in combating sexual harassment, while victim/complainant perspectives were less emphasized (15.4%). Possibility and advisability were used more flexibly, offering discretionary or optional courses of action, though these too were largely framed from the institutional standpoint. By demonstrating the dominance of institutional responsibility and the limited framing of victims’ agency, this study highlights how policy language shapes institutional responses and reporting behavior. These findings contribute to the understanding of how linguistic choices in legal-institutional discourse influence power relations and victim engagement.

Abstract

This study examines the use of boxing metaphors by Ghanaian political cartoonists to communicate socio-political issues, with a particular focus on the depiction of election outcomes and the portrayal of heated arguments or legal disputes.  In order to gain a representative sample, ten political cartoons related to boxing scenes were downloaded from Tilapia of 3 News and Akosua of the Daily Guide. In terms of the theoretical framework that informs this study, Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) and Fauconnier and Turner's conceptual blending/integration theory (CBT) are employed in conjunction with Šorm and Steen's VISMIP for the purposes of analysis. The application of CMT to the data led to the identification of conceptual metaphors such as "BOXING IS ELECTION", “WINNING A BOXING MATCH IS WINNING AN ELECTION”, LOSING A BOXING MATCH IS LOSING AN ELECTION and "POLITICAL PARTIES ARE SPORTS TEAMS," etc. The analysis demonstrates that cartoonists employ boxing metaphors to portray electoral outcomes, reflecting the combative and high-stakes nature of Ghanaian elections.  Once more, cartoonists persistently depict the victorious candidates in elections as triumphant boxers. Moreover, the utilization of boxing scenarios in political cartoons by cartoonists facilitates the comprehension of the message, as people are both familiar with and passionate about boxing, thereby rendering the intended meaning more readily understandable. In conclusion, the universality of boxing lends a global dimension to the message, facilitating comprehension of the cartoonist's message by a global audience.

Abstract

Humor practices have been approached using different theories. Some of the humor is universal, but it will be different when the cultural nuance interplays with it. This study aims to analyze the construction of humor in the Knock-Knock Jokes tweets on the comment section of an Indonesian base account on X, which was formerly known as Twitter, named @englishfess_, and the contribution of cultural context in creating the humorous effect in the jokes.  This study used Raskin's Script-Based Semantic Theory of Humor (SSTH) to analyze the types of humor used in the data and Grice's Theory of Maxim to analyze the flouting of maxims in the creation of the jokes, as well as the cultural context theory. Using a qualitative research method, this study collected 20 data in the form of snapshots of X users' tweets in the comment section. It was found that the humor of the Knock-Knock Jokes tweets mostly comes from the use of incongruity types of humor, the flouting of the maxim of relation, and the cultural contexts. As the punchlines of the jokes frequently used certain Indonesian cultures, these Knock-Knock Jokes tweets have a unique humor, and may only be understood by those who have a similar cultural background to the tweeters of the joke.

Abstract

This study explores the short story “Menyusu Ayah” by Djenar Maesa Ayu, investigating the symbolic representation of male genitalia as a source of power within the narrative. The research examines how the story critiques gender power dynamics in a patriarchal society, focusing on the protagonist, Nayla, who experiences sexual abuse by her father. Applying Foucault’s concept of power and MacKinnon feminist theory, the study underlines how male dominance is extended through the sexualization and objectification of women, contributing to a significant gender gap. The research employs qualitative and library-based methods to explore how Nayla, in her attempt to claim power, engages with male genitalia, believing it will free her from male oppression. However, this act is framed within the context of a deeply ingrained patriarchal structure, which shapes her understanding of action and self-worth. The study reveals the complexity of Nayla’s search for power, demonstrating the ways in which gendered norms and social expectations limit women’s autonomy. The findings show how masculinity is associated with power and strength, while femininity is linked with submission. By analyzing Nayla’s actions and their symbolic meanings, this study sheds light on the broader implications of gender inequality and the cultural perpetuation of patriarchal control in “Menyusu Ayah”.

Abstract

The inclusion of the natural environment and spiritual values in traditional healing mantras has been part of the lives of traditional communities in various cultures around the world, including the Malay community in Karimunting village, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study aims to describe the elements of the natural environment and spiritual values in the healing mantras of the Malay community in Karimunting Village by applying Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism approach. The data in this study was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with three belian in Karimunting village. The data obtained was subsequently recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The research findings reveal that there are ten healing mantras practiced by the belian of the Malay community in Karimunting Village. Each mantra functions not only as a medium of healing but also as a representation of the interconnectedness between humans, the natural environment, and spiritual forces. Elements of the natural environment are reflected in the use of components such as leaves, water, wood, stones, wind, and animals, which are positioned as active entities possessing healing energy and symbols of ecological balance. Meanwhile, the dimension of spirituality is manifested through religious diction, such as the invocation of the names of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad, underscoring the belief that recovery ultimately originates from Divine power. This research contributes not only as an inventory of oral literature and local wisdom of the Malay community in utilizing their natural environment but also as a reference for similar research in the future.
