Abstract

The study aims to demonstrate how Nizar Qabbani's poem Tauud Sya'rii Alaika uses hair as a symbol to depict love and close relationships and the experience of losing someone. The study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic framework to demonstrate how hair transforms from its basic meaning to its deeper cultural meaning. The poem uses hair as a physical body part to create a symbolic framework that conveys emotional experiences and painful memories and future aspirations. The research employed descriptive qualitative methods together with Barthes' semiotic analysis technique, which examines the signs and meanings and myths present in the poem's text. The primary data source is the poem from the Al-Hubb poetry anthology, which contains the Nizar Qabbani work about love. The secondary data sources included relevant books and scientific articles and journals. The researchers collected data through literature study and text analysis while using the Miles and Huberman model to analyze data through three steps, which included data reduction and data presentation and drawing conclusions through the verification process. The analysis shows that a woman's hair is not merely understood as a physical part of her body but rather transcends its biological dimension with her lover. Hair is presented as a symbol of love, emotional closeness, and loss, enriched by the imagery of autumn and the stars as a representation of the woman's inner journey and emotional story. This simple yet meaningful symbol is used to express the dynamics of the profound journey of love and separation between herself and her lover, while also reflecting the values and cultural traditions surrounding them.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate differences in the production of received pronunciation vowels /ɑː/ and /æ/ between Mandar EFL learners and native speakers, as well as the distribution of vowel patterns across participants' academic levels, using a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. There are 5 words in this current research that contain the initial vowels/ɑː/ and /æ/: 'afternoon', 'answer', 'apple', 'animal', and 'actor'. To examine the vowel difference, this research used audio recordings from 10 participants: 5 from the 5th semester and 5 from the 1st semester. The audio recordings were analyzed with PRAAT to measure openness using F1 and tongue position using F2. The formant data were then normalized using the Lobanov normalization to avoid confounding by gender, age, and physiological variables. The analysis was conducted to figure out the distinction pattern of vowel articulation by Mandar and native speakers, and the possibility of vowel shift and merger. The results indicate a significant difference in vowel production between Mandar and native speakers, as confirmed by the t-test. The articulatory distinction between a Mandar native speaker and a native speaker is reflected in the articulation of the vowel /æ/ that shifts in all contexts. Meanwhile, the vowel /ɑː/was articulated differently across contexts by Mandar speakers. The findings showed that Mandar speakers exhibit vowel shifting and merger, which are caused by the assimilation of L2 sounds to L1 and by the quantity-quality of L2 input. Moreover, the results appear to support the SLM-r hypothesis in phonetic formation in L2 acquisition.
