Abstract

This study aims to explain the realization of French external sandhi, namely liaison, enchaînement, and élision in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) students with Indonesian as their first language (L1), and the factors influencing the realization. To determine the extent of mastery of Indonesian students, this study compared the realization of two groups of Indonesian students with different study hours and the realization of native speakers. This study involved 44 FLE students divided into two groups (27 students in Group I and 17 in Group II) and 11 native speakers. The instrument text for oral reading was compiled considering all these three phenomena theoretically and the students' competence level. It contains sequences of words potentially connected by all three. The data collection technique was carried out by recording the text reading once. The use of PRAAT software supported data analysis. The study results indicate the mastery of Indonesian speakers in élision liaison enchaînement consonantique enchaînement vocalique. The realization level of the students is much lower than that of native speakers. Several factors include the absence of similar phenomena in L1, segmentation ability, use of rhythm, differences in the orthographic systems, and interference, namely the presence of silent consonants and grapheme h, which are not pronounced in French, differences in the transparency of phoneme-grapheme relationship in the two languages and the quality of input.

Abstract

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013) presents a narrative that shifts between different temporalities and spaces, a movement that is particularly experienced by its main character, Ifemelu, as she navigates through her Nigerian, American, and her newly found black identity. Similarly, the novel’s narrative attempts to showcase other postcolonial African women like Ifemelu, as well as their ambiguous identities and othered representations. Through this article, we examine the workings of Ifemelu’s narration as it shifts from one space to another, specifically from Nigeria to America and vice versa, through a narratological method. We will then focus on how these specific spaces occupied by Ifemelu and other African women, or what Ogundipe-Leslie calls “women’s spaces and modes, " work with the bodily experiences of the women and the black Atlantic world at large. Throughout the novel, the hair salon is the women’s space that the narration keeps returning to, serving as a bridge between the story’s past and present. However, a more constant form of women’s spaces also occurs through the narrative body itself, specifically through the narrative form of online blogs that showcase Ifemelu’s attempt to find familiarities with other black people of the diaspora. From this article’s analysis, we argue that the hair salon and the narration of the online blogs, as “micro-African” spaces, serve as mediums to reclaim and re-write the contingent and negotiated identities of postcolonial African in the new black Atlantic world.

Abstract

Every language has a unique system of vowel and consonant sounds, for example, English has five (5) vowels and 21 consonants. Others like in Korean language, it has ten (10) vowels, and nineteen (19) consonants. Since every language has a different set of vowel and consonant systems, it might affect to the differences in the pronunciation of each sounds in each of the languages. Cho (2020) theory states that pronunciation errors result from the transfer of Korean phonological processes to English and the inability to acquire English phonological processes. This study observed three Korean natives, live in South Korea, and have no history of a mother tongue other than Korean. The three participants also came from different backgrounds and English-speaking experiences. The data were taken by recording and examining some English words contained and related to English bilabial consonant sounds. The voice recordings were analyzed to find the differences in their pronunciation applying the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) according to the standard English pronunciation. The finding showed that 1) the Korean speakers were able to pronounce the English Bilabial plosive and nasal /p, b, m/ at the beginning and middle of the word, but there was a tendency to add an extra vowel when the Bilabial consonant plosive /p, b/ placed at the end of the word, 2) the voiceless bilabial plosive /p/ was taken as a substitution consonant for the words that contained fricative consonant /f/, 3) the voiced labial-velar approximant /w/ was not pronounced correctly by having the two lips moving closer, but it was pronounced by either sounding the vowel [ʊ] first or [o] first. Those errors were caused by the different sound systems in Hangeul that influences the speakers’ English pronunciation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine patriarchal hegemony in the novel Cantik Itu Luka (Beauty Is a Wound) by Eka Kurniawan using the theories of Gramsci and Walby regarding colonial culture and ideology that controls the women who are classified as the subaltern classes under male power in various aspects of life. According to Spivak’s theory, subaltern class is an individual or social group that is marginalized under dominating power economically, socially, and culturally. This study also uses postcolonial approach by Tyson which serves to examine and respond to colonial influence on social structure, identity, and cultural continuity. The study of patriarchal hegemony in Cantik Itu Luka examines three main aspects: (1) the manifestation of patriarchal hegemony in the subaltern class; (2) the psychological and emotional impact of patriarchal hegemony on subaltern women; and (3) the forms of resistance against hegemonic. The research data are quotations from the novel contained in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that interpret the issue of patriarchal hegemony obtained from narration, dialog, characters' thoughts, and storyline. The data collection used literature study techniques, whereas the data analysis used qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of this study resulted in the discovery that patriarchal hegemony greatly influences society's ideology about subaltern women, all forms of community attitudes in the form of objectification, subordination, and marginalization of subalterns cause impacts, responses, and resistance by subaltern classes.

Abstract

This article examines Ernest J. Gaines' The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1972) as a parody and critique of dominant cultural narratives. Combining close reading with biographical criticism, which contextualizes the novel through Gaines’ socio-cultural background as an African American author. Drawing on Bakhtin’s and Hannoosh’s theories of parody and Gates’ concept of chiasmus, the analysis explores how the novel imitates, transforms, and subverts its targets. Bhabha’s notion of mimicry situates parody within postcolonial discourse, while Genette’s theory of frequency analyzes the novel’s repetitive narrative structures. Ashcroft, Griffiths, and Tiffin’s concepts of appropriation and abrogation address Gaines’ use of English, shaped by his identity as a Black writer from Louisiana and his California education. Bakhtin’s heteroglossia highlights the novel’s polyphonic structure, reflecting its diverse voices. Ong’s theories of orality and literacy contrast Louisiana’s oral traditions with Gaines’ literary techniques. Interviews with Gaudet and Wooton reveal the influence of white literary traditions on Gaines, situating him within African American literary frameworks. Loomba’s critique of colonial discourse positions the novel as a subversive response to white supremacy. Thus, the objective of this study is to demonstrate that Gaines uses parody in the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman as both a literary form and an ideological tool to challenge hegemonic narratives and amplify African American voices.

Abstract

This article discusses the adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel Matilda (1988)into the movie Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical (2022), directed by Matthew Warchus. This research focuses on the transformation of intrinsic elements, which is the plot of the novel to the movie. The transformation of the novel into the movie is classified as the telling-to-showing mode. The transformation from written text to audio-visual media involves changes such as subtractions and additions, which are influenced by the differences in the mediums of expression. The three main issues discussed in this article are (1) the transformations of the plot in the novel into the movie, (2) the ideology reflected in the works by the author and the adapter, and (3) the motives of the adapter. This research uses a comparative method with Linda Hutcheon's Theory of Adaptation and Roland Barthes's semiotics. The findings show the ideology of patriarchy by the author in the novel and the ideologies of children's education rights and feminism by the adapter in the movie. Furthermore, this study reveals the motives of the adapter, which include personal motives, as reflected in the ideological changes, and economic lure motives, demonstrating how creative and commercial factors shape the adaptation process.

Abstract

Research has shown that gender inequality persists at managerial levels, with an increasing number of women occupying middle and lower managerial positions while men dominate higher managerial roles. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “glass ceiling,” represents an invisible barrier characterized by gender biases that prevent women from attaining high-level positions within organizations. A notable gender gap remains in the professionalization of the classical music field, particularly in orchestral conducting. To understand how gender politics and occupational sex segregation affect women’s career development, workplace relationships, and gender relations, this study conducts qualitative research using latent-content analysis of the film The Conductor. It examines how women experience occupational sex segregation under gender politics and societal norms. The findings reveal that deep-rooted gender norms and biases within male-dominated professions not only limit women’s access to leadership roles but also reinforce occupational segregation. By highlighting the struggles of women in breaking barriers, the studyexplores the potential for women to cultivate their own female subjectivity, empowering them to overcome occupational sex segregation and affirming their significance in male-dominated professions. This research has some limitations as it focuses on the narratives of an individual female in the film and hence cannot adequately represent the diverse experiences of women in different occupations. Future research may compare and analyze real-life cases from different occupations and cultural backgrounds to gain a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics.

Abstract

Music plays a key role in shaping culture, reflecting societal norms, and serving as a tool for critique. This study examines how Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya challenges traditional gender roles using Derrida’s deconstruction theory, which questions binary oppositions and redefines female autonomy. By analyzing the song’s lyrics and themes, this research explores how popular music can dismantle patriarchal norms and provide a more inclusive understanding of gender and identity. Using a qualitative approach and Derrida’s concepts of différance and binary opposition, the study reveals how the song critiques societal expectations that prioritize women’s physical appearance and passive roles, while emphasizing ambition and independence. Key findings include themes such as: 1) women and appearances, 2) women and identity, 3) women and self-sufficiency, 4) women and materialism, 5) women and control, 6) women and ambition, 7) women and gender expectations, and 8) patriarchy. The song goes beyond rejecting traditional norms; it reconstructs a framework of female identity centered on agency and empowerment. By destabilizing binary oppositions like active/passive and dominant/submissive, the song challenges listeners to engage with entrenched societal values critically. It highlights the importance of breaking free from patriarchal systems that perpetuate gender inequality and reimagines a world where women can define their roles and ambitions without societal constraints. This analysis demonstrates the potential of popular music as a transformative tool for deconstructing oppressive ideologies and fostering more inclusive identities.

Abstract

This article investigates the practice of literary production in the digital age, characterized by the spirit of using internet-based technological innovation, mainly social media. In this context, Indonesian literary writers often use social media platforms, especially Wattpad (a story-sharing website), to produce their literary works. Nevertheless, such a condition has not dampened the circulation of literary works in printed (conventional) form. Even though in one side they use Wattpad to publish their works, but in the other side they still follow publication system through conventional publishers. Accordingly, this particular study aims to examine the influence of technological advancement to literary production culture. Therefore, through a sociocultural approach and qualitative methods, this study is designed to observe how far the advancement of social media technology can stimulate specific behavior of literary writers in their creative process and presenting their works to the public. As a result, through exploration and analysis, it is found that social media technology could encourage digital literary production at a certain point. However, this cannot entirely make literary agents turn away from more conventional printing technology. It further reveals the strategy of literary writers with popular genre to deal with the doxa in the of Indonesian literary field. This social condition remarks the quasi-digital society.

Abstract

he 19th century in England, particularly during the Victorian era was defined by rigid social norms and power structures that placed women in subordinated roles. Within this context, women were expected to perform traditional duties as wives and mothers with limited access to education or employment. Persuasion by Jane Austen illustrates this reality through female characters, who experience cultural violence from social inequality. This study examined the form of cultural violence endured by the female characters in Persuasion, which reflects the social discrimination that pervaded 19th-century society. The study aims to explore in depth how the social norms and power structures of that era contributed to injustices faced by women. The researcher used a sociological literature approach to answer these questions and applied Johan Galtung’s theories of cultural violence. The data was collected by analysis of expressions and dialogues in Persuasion, which reveal various forms of injustice, prejudice, and sarcasm toward female characters. The findings indicated that the novel’s female characters represent 19th-century women who encountered cultural violence, a concept illuminated through Galtung’s perspective. Notably, some characters resisted the cultural violence they faced, while others adopted a more passive stance, reflecting diverse responses to oppression within a broader social context.
