Contradictions and Inconsistencies in Human Nature: Evidence from Yorùbá Proverbs Timothy Adeyemi Akanbi
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 2 (2020): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Yorùbá proverbs, and by extension, proverbs in every culture and clime, show the beliefs, philosophy, traditions, and norms of every society. There is no community or society where proverbs are not in use. Proverb is a phenomenon that aligns with the wisdom of people livingwithin a community. The Yorùbá race holds proverbs in high esteem. They see it as a culture that cuts across all the strata of the society. For every deed, action or interaction, there is always a make-ready proverb that matches it. This paper examines Yorùbá proverbs but in a different perspective. It looks at the seeming contradictions observed in Yorùbá proverbs and brings to the fore the implications of such contradictions. The paper also examines the paradox of these contradictions and affirms that the nature of man calls for the different proverbs that match the behaviors of people. The paper also asserts that this phenomenon is to exemplify the dynamics, functions and usages of language in general and of the Yorùbá language in particular. The paper concludes that the seeming contradictions observed in Yorùbá proverbs portray the nature of inconsistencies and contradictions in man. The paper, therefore, opines that it is not that proverbs are contradictory on their own, but that the proverbs portray unpredictable behaviors that are found in human nature.

The Images of a Minister Built through the Use of Ecclesiastical Words in Emersons The Problem Chatarina Trihastuti; Adventina Putranti
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 14, No 2 (2014): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

The Problem, a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, expresses Emersons preoccupation with the problem of vocation. It is about Emersons 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 poets 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 ministers faith yet. The third is about the poets 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 poets admiration toward Chrysostom, Augustine, and Taylor and also the reason why he chose to leave the ministry.Keywords: ecclesiastical words, images

Profanity and Characterization: A Study of Translation Strategies and Their Effects on The Catcher in the Rye Fachrina Azura; Haru Deliana Dewi; Rahayu Surtiati Hidayat
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 19, No 2 (2019): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This paper investigates the translation strategies used in translating profanity in the novel The Catcher in the Rye and their effects on the narrators characterization. The purpose is to see the effects that certain translation strategies have on characterization, an important literary element. This paper will focus on Chapter 25, the penultimate chapter where the climax takes place. This paper uses statistics to examine the number of translation strategies used and the qualitative-descriptive method to examine the effects on the narrators characterization. The strategies will be classified based on Bakers (2018) proposed strategies, while Nidas (2012) argument regarding the importance of characterization will be the framework for evaluating the characterization. This paper finds that the Indonesian translator overwhelmingly used the strategies of softening and omission. This results in a significantly different characterization of the narrator, in which he becomes less irreverent and more conscious of social norms.

Deviation of Enhancing Stereotypes through Lexicalization and Songs in Mulan Joan Sanita
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 15, No 2 (2015): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This paper investigates the deviation of enhancing stereotypes that takes place in Disney film Mulan. It attempts to reveal the stereotypes that arise from the film in terms of lexicalization and the songs. Also, this study examines the implication of watching this type of movie as it is classified as family genre. The analysis is based on S. Jager and F. Mayer (2009) film analysis on Foucauldian approach of discourse analysis. It connects linguistic discursive practice, non-linguistic discursive practice, and materialization (object). Because of the limitation of the space in presenting the data, this paper focuses only on the linguistic discursive practice in terms of lexicalization and four songs represented in the film. The result shows that in terms of lexicalization, the use of word girl compared man has an implied deal with the case of stereotypes. Likewise, the symbol of girl as a doll and man as a sword symbolized in the film also bring the effect on the stereotypes which are characterized by the female and male characters. Then, in terms of songs, the four songs that are sung in the film also convey the stereotypes which can be denoted by the film.

Written vs Spoken Narratives by Indonesian ESL Young Learners: A Case Study Maria Fe Suganob Nicolau; Katharina Endriati Sukamto
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 18, No 2 (2018): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This study explores how Indonesian ESL Grade 2 elementary students studying in an international school in Jakarta produce written and spoken narratives. The stimulus material used to obtain the data was a four-panel comic strip with no written text. The findings revealed that both productions follow the basic global structure such as story elements, linearity of the storyline, and coherence. However, the written narratives contextually demonstrated formality while the spoken narratives displayed higher frequencies in using structure of discourse (e.g. hedges, contraction, repair and repetitions) and sentence complexity in T-units. Hedges were used as delaying tactics to allow more time for language processing. The use of contractions was due to the rapid production of language that constraints the ability of the students to produce syntactic richness. Repairs illustrated specificity of the chosen words, while repetition stemmed from the linguistic device like onomatopoeia that demonstrated the creative sides of the students to amplify their thoughts. Apparently, sentence complexity using the T-units demonstrated that the spoken narratives outnumbered the written mode. Nevertheless, it was apparent that the 2 T-units or 3 T-units followed a pattern (e.g. independent clause to independent clause with extension) which was a product of the participants knowledge on spellings and construction of formal and complete sentences. These results may implicate that language educators need to heighten the learners awareness of the unique linguistic features of each mode, to provide a clear understanding on how these modes work best in English language, and to attempt in establishing a balance in structure discourse and sentence complexity in T-units.Keywords: ESL young learners, written and spoken narratives, pattern of differences

Towards a Textual Deconstruction of Adebowale’s Lonely Days Wolé Olúgúnlè
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 21, No 1 (2021): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

No literary creation exists hermetically; it is not self-sufficient and independent. It does not emanate from a vacuum. Every literary creation is textually incorporated in relation; whether compulsorily, optionally or accidentally, to other pre-existing texts. This implies that the realization of a literary text by a writer results from the fact that such literary creator has studied several other pre-existing texts; thus it is presumptuous of a writer to claim the competence of producing a literary text without dialoging with existing ideas and ideologies, mœurs, legends and myths as well as pre-existing communication codes. But then, the objective of this study is to unearth and demonstrate how Adebowale, in his Lonely Days (2006), has related in either a compulsory, optional or accidental manner with existing ideas and ideologies, mœurs, legends and myths and pre-existing communication codes. With Kristevan methodology of intertextuality and critical textual analysis, the study succinctly deconstructs how the textual incorporation of the hypertext relates with the existing hypo-texts through the markers of intertextuality. The study finds out that, in its consistent relationship with other pre-existing texts, the text is stylistically incorporated in with the view to reconstructing and revalorizing the African altered history and culture while portraying the reality of women’s condition in male African hegemonic societies. It concludes that the realization of any literary text and preoccupation is relational to existing texts.

A Look at the World through a Word Shoes: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 15, No 1 (2015): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. Shoes is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word shoes are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes.Keywords: shoes, meanings, features

Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 1 (2020): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This study reports on interpersonality in a diachronic-contrastive investigation in Research Article (RA) abstracts. The study analyzed a corpus of 180 RA abstracts from two journalsof Psychological Bulletin and Personality and Individual Differences over the last three decades. This paper uses Hylands (2005b) Stance Model of Interaction and Hyland Tses (2005) Classification of Sentences Containing Evaluative that in order to explore interpersonality. The results of this study revealed that authors of these journals adopted different stance and positioning over time in their writing. In addition, the findings of this paper did not corroborate previous research findings that RA abstracts exhibit high number of boosters. In relation to writing pedagogy, the results of this study can help the scholars to frame their papers in order to publish them in English-medium journals.

Translating is not as simple as changing a text form one language into another. It is more complicated, since it involves many aspects including linguistics and culture. Yet, translation is a helpfull aid when it comes to the International area. In literature, for example, a literary text owes a help from translation to be world wide acknowledged. This makes the duty of a translator becomes heavier, due to the burden of translating literary text that should be faithfull. This article gives example of the unfaithfull translation of a literary text from Indonesian into English, focusing on the translation of the politeness strategies found. The analysis showed that there are several politness strategies deleted or not translated, which made the translated text unfaithfull. While the translation strategies used resulted on different level of accuracy and acceptability.Keywords: literary text, politeness strategies, translation techniques, translation quality

Crisis of Identity and Mimicry in Orwells Burmese Days Seen through a Local Native Character U Po Kyin: A Postcolonial Readin B. Endo Gauh Perdana; Elisa Dwi Wardani
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 17, No 1 (2017): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This study analyzes how crisis of identity and mimicry occurs in the postcolonial discourse. A local native character whose name is U Po Kyin is the focus of the study. As a native character, he holds a high ranking position for local in the British Raj in Burma. However, he is portrayed as a corrupt official as he accepts bribes and denounces his rival. His ambition to get the membership, an elite European Club, drives him infuriated to destroy his rivals reputation because naturally it is him who would be elected as the first local member of the Club. At the end of the novel, Kyin finally secures his membership but he fails to atone his evil-doings by building pagodas as a Buddhist. Kyins attitude is seen as how he manages to deal with his inferiority towards the British. He is also observed to mimic the British as his strategy to erase the idea of being colonized.There are two problem formulations in this study. The first is to find out how U Po Kyin suffers from crisis of identity through his characterization in the novel. Then, the second objective is to understand how his crisis of identity leads him to mimic the British.This study condludes that U Po Kyin suffers from crisis of identity. He is oppressed conscious and unconsciously by the British. This causes his self-image to be eroded. Even though he is relatively wealthier than his fellow natives, he still craves for more as he realizes that there is something more than money. He wants to be detached from his inferiority. The elite European Club represents his ambition because it offers him status to be like the British. That is why he schemes to crush his rival. In his schemes, denigrating his rival means to mimic the British because he needs to differ himself from the natives. However, he is still powerless because the British still consider him as the subject of colonialization. Keywords: crisis of identity, mimicry, postcolonial reading
