Abstract

Directives are utterances intended for the listeners or readers to do something as desired by the speaker or the author. Poem as one of the literary works is the expression of the author delivered to the readers. As an expression of the author's, poems probably contain more expressive utterances than the directive ones. This paper attempts to examine poems written by Lanang Setiawan, a local writer from Tegal who wrote lots of poems in the Javanese dialect of Tegal. The poems written by Lanang will be used as data to be analyzed by using pragmatic theory.Keywords: directive speech acts, Javanese  language of Tegal, Tegal literature

Abstract

Black Elk Speaks is a book describing the spirituality and social life of Native Americans. It contains values of living in balance with nature and the respect towards the Great Spirit. Black Elk himself is a prominent figure believed by Native Americans or the Indian as having vision of the future. The book is the words of Black Elk as told through John G. Neihardt (Flamming Rainbow). By reading the book, we learn how Native Americans survive in the land that does not belong to their tribes. The pain and sorrow of watching relatives and family vanished in the war. Yet, the identity of Native Americans remains among the uproar of social changes in the history of America. The purification of mind and soul in viewing modern life is in line with the American individualism. Furthermore, the study of Native American literature will enrich the spiritual journey of individuals in interpreting life in a multicultural society. Here, I would like to explore the paradox of living in the Indian reservation and the facts faced by Native Americans as told in Black Elk Speaks. Keywords: Black Elk, vision, spirituality, paradox, Native Americans

Abstract

Partir, a novel by a francophone writer, Tahar Ben Jelloun tells about a Marocco man, Azel, who has a strong willingness to go out of his country. One of the countries he visited is Spain. Compared to other countries, Spain is the closest to Tangier, the city where Azel comes from. This paper aims to analyze the identity of immigrants as represented by Azel, the main character of Partir, by using  a postcolonial approach. Azel’s relationship with Miguel, as the representation of the West, shows that there is a sharp distinction concerning the view that the West is the superordinate, and the East, as the subordinate. Even though the colonialism period has been over, the domination of the West over the East has been still going on under different levels of periods.        Key words: immigrant, identity, colonialism, superiority.

Abstract

In this article, I present a semiotic study of Dee’s novel Supernova, but the analysis is focused on the female character Diva or Supernova, which plays as the symbol of Dee’s struggle for gender equality. Following Chandler (2007), I made use of the Saussurean and Peircean semiotics, in which signs consist of inseparable signifiers and signifieds, and the modes of their relationships are icon, index, and symbol. In the succeeding discussion, I argue that the title of the novel functions as an index that directs the readers’ attention to the character Diva (Supernova). Supernova is a metaphor (iconic and symbolic) of an individual who is able to enlighten the life of others with wisdom. She also functions as a symbol of strong oppositions to patriarchy, in which good women are simplistically defined with reference to their marriage and family life. There are hundreds of reasons defining a good woman, including maturity, self-awareness, knowledge and compassion. Another metaphorical use of Supernova relates to the fact that she, because of all her qualities, serves as an Avatar, something uncommon in Indonesian context. Appointing a woman and a prostitute as an Avatar means a challenge to Indonesia’s religious patriarchy.Keywords: Supernova; semiotics; icon, index, symbol; gender equality

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the psychological character of the upper class woman in Katherine Mansfield’s short story entitled A Cup of Tea. The analysis is based on the concept of narcissism, Maslow’s concept of esteem needs, and consumerism. The method of literary analysis is a contextual one focusing on the intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The result shows that the female character has a low self-esteem with narcissistic grandiosity. Such psychological character always needs attention, appreciation, and praises from other people that are obtained by following upper class exclusive and consumptive way of life. It can be concluded that a narcissistic upper class female often hides vulnerable self-esteem by camouflaging it with glamorous appearance full of self-confidence.Keywords: narcissism, esteem needs, consumerism, upper class

Abstract

Indonesian, Javanese and Sundanese belong to the same language family, the Austronesian languages. The three languages have some similarities, one of which is the occurrence of reduplication. This paper aims to discuss full reduplication in the three languages, especially on the verbs. The objectives of this paper are to explain the semantic functions of full reduplication, and to present the process of deriving full reduplication in the three languages. In this case, the theory of distributed reduplication was applied in the analysis. The data used in the study were taken from books and research reports. In addition, I also employed a native speaker of  Sundanese to check the data on Sundanese. In this case, I used the interview method with an elicitation technique. The result of the analysis shows that Indonesian and Javanese have full reduplication with the notion of repetition, reciprocal, uncertainty of goal, and intensifier. Meanwhile, Sundanese, has full reduplication with the notion of intensifier and reciprocal. The process of full reduplication in the three language is different. In Indonesian, reduplicated forms with a reciprocal notion are composed of three morphemes, while in Javanese and Sundanese this type of reduplication is composed of two morphemes.Keywords: full reduplication, Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, distributed reduplication

Abstract

The study is about the application of the transitivity system, one of lexico-grammar used in a Systemic Functional Grammar’s theory, to analyze a literary work “I Stand Here Ironing”. Considering that many previous researchers were interested in studying the short story from literary approach, I purpose to give an alternative perspective of tracking the characterization of the main characters using the SFG theory. The data are  the text of    “I Stand Here Ironing” by Tillie Lerner Olsen  (1961). They are analyzed using the concepts of the transitivity system and field  situation. The result shows that the author of the short story used material process more than the other processes to construct that the main characters did activities in the domestic and physical domain. The mental process is used to depict the characters’ feeling and attitude. The relational process is used to characterize the characters explicitly. Related to the socio-cultural context, the analysis comes to the conclusion that the such characterization is constructed to criticize the patriarchal domination in America in the time of publication.Keywords: transitivity system; characterization; field of discourse; feminism literature
