Abstract

From a cognitive perspective, metaphor is viewed as one of the important aspects and a fundamental part of the everyday use of language. Metaphor is generally defined as a means to talk about a more abstract conceptual domain in terms of another – more concrete – domain. The mapping between the two domains is expressed through some conceptual metaphors. This study is a comparative analysis of the conceptual metaphors of time in Persian and English. In doing so, different expressions of time in the two languages were categorized into the relevant conceptual metaphors, to be compared to find any similarities and differences in this respect. The expressions of the time were analyzed under eight different conceptual metaphors. It is revealed that the two languages show a very similar conceptualization of time-related expressions. Except for a few minor differences, both languages generally appear to use the same metaphoric structures to talk about time. The use of similar collocations with time words in most cases counts as evidence for the similarities between the two languages in their conceptualization of time.

Abstract

Collocations play an important role in L2 teaching and learning. The present study investigated the effect of color collocations in L2 learning. This study was done in 2 phases: In the first phase, the frequency of color collocations was calculated in English and Persian. Two lists of English and Persian color collocations were chosen. Each list included 100 color collocations. The English collocations were chosen from English collocation dictionaries, but the Persian color collocations were chosen by the Persian native speakers. Chi-square results indicated that there were some differences between the 2 languages, but the differences were not statistically significant. In the second phase, the (possible) effect of color collocations on upper-intermediate and advanced L2 learners’ proficiency was investigated. Sixty upper-intermediate and advanced L2 learners, both male and female, were chosen from a private language institute in Isfahan, Iran. The minimum and maximum ages of the participants were about 15-38, and their homogeneity was tested by the OPT. Participants were given a pretest in order to measure their color collocational knowledge. Then, after the treatment, a posttest was administered. Results revealed that teaching collocations had a significant effect on the participants’ proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to describe President Jokowi's rhetorical strategies during the 2019 campaign on Instagram and its consistency with the rhetorical strategy as president. Rhetoric is not just a speech strategy, not a speech that tends to lie to manipulate or control people, and not talk much without action. Because of political competition, it can be concluded that the use of words and sentences (syntax) as rhetorical strategies also compete in building a positive image. Syntactic analysis was conducted to describe the categories of use of words and sentences as a rhetorical strategy to build a positive image. The method used was content analysis of 508 Instagram posts during the campaign period. Social media is a new innovation in spreading messages of rhetoric in the form of words and sentences more quickly and easily accessing them. The interview method was also conducted on President Jokowi's communication team to find out how these rhetorical strategies were carried out in order to proof the consistency between rhetorical strategies during campaigns and rhetorical strategies as a President. The results of this study confirm that not all rhetorical strategies are used, but, only the use of positive rhetorics to build positive image. Syntactic analysis shows that Jokowi-Amin does not use negative words and sentences. Not all rhetorical strategies for building imagery are displayed on Instagram, namely @ jokowi.amin does not use intimidation and self-depreciation strategies. The interviews also display that the rhetoric strategies during campains are consistent with the president’s strategies.

Abstract

The Chinese language is very different from the Indonesian language. The writing and pronunciation of this language is quite complicated because this language uses the script called hànzì and the pronunciation is called pīnyīn. Pīnyīn is a Latin syllable which has tone in their syllable. Based on observations at the Dwijendra Vocational School in Denpasar, researchers still found many problems in Chinese learning activities. One of the problems lies in the teaching materials used. There is no handle teaching materials accordance the curriculum. The next problem lies in students' speaking skills. Therefore, the researchers tried to use a Chinese module that was made by themselves to improve students' speaking skills. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the basis for research can be seen the influence of this Chinese module on the development of student learning achievement. Pre-Test Testing, Cycle 1 Test and Cycle 2 Test use the same test questions by testing 30 vocabulary words that are run orally by students. In the pre-test 21 students (95%) were ranked D and only 1 student (5%) was ranked C. The percentage of each indirect cycle increased until the final result of cycle 2 was 27% of students still ranked D, 50% of students rated C and 23% of students are rated B. This result is quite satisfying for researchers because Chinese language skills are quite difficult lessons for beginners especially those who have very little study time but they are must have a lot of pronunciation and vocabulary.
