Abstract

In the Victorian England whose ideal woman was the Angel in the House, a devoted and submissive wife and mother, it would generally be unfortunate for women to be still unmarried past their reproductive years. Using feminist lens, this study compares the Jenkyns sisters (Deborah and Matty) of Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford (1853) and Betsy Trotwood of Charles Dicken’s David Copperfield (1850). While aging and single, they are financially independent. Husbandless and childless, the Jenkyns sisters and Betsey could easily fall into the category of redundant women, but they skillfully manage the house and class relations the way the Angels in the House do.

Abstract

This study examines the use of commissive speech acts in the Disney animated film Encanto (2021), specifically by the characters Alma and Mirabel Madrigal. This study aims to find out the type of commisive speech act used by Alma and Mirabel in the Encanto (2021) movie. This study also explains the reasons for a certain type of commissive and the language features in the commissive speech acts. Based on the analysis of 16 commissive acts, including guarantee, promising, refusing, volunteering, threatening, and offering, the study finds that guarantee acts are the most frequently used commissive types by the characters, indicating their commitment to future actions. Mirabel performs all of the commissive speech acts to demonstrate her importance and value in the Madrigal family and her ability to stand up for what she believes in. The reasons for these commissive speech acts are mostly to assert the presence of the character or commit to future actions. The language features in commissive speech acts are mostly to make their statement stronger and clearer.Keywords: Characterization; directive speech act; illocutionary act; Sense and Sensibility

Abstract

Psychological factors can contribute to the devitalization or acceleration of foreign language learning. Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) is widely discussed in various studies, namely on Second Language Acquisition (SLA). This research aims to explore one of the psychological effects of learning a foreign language, specifically Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA), and its effect and correlation on academic achievement. 43 undergraduate students from the Department of English were chosen as the participants of the study. To conduct the findings, this study adopts a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation. The findings of the study presented that the students encounter a moderately low level of foreign language anxiety (M = 2.75, SD = .86). The findings also reveal that the relationship between the students’ foreign language anxiety level and academic achievement shows no correlation between one another (r = -0.9). The implication of this study is that language teachers should continuously encourage students to be more self-assured in their second language learning as well as alleviate their language anxiety level.

Abstract

Religion and humans are like salt and pepper, they are inseparable. The former becomes an integral part to define the lives of the latter. In some cases, religion is perceived as a tool to construct system of meaning. Utilizing Silberman’s paradigm, this article tries to uncover the manifestation of religion as a groundwork of meaning system in human life within The Devil All the Time (2020) by Antonio Campos. A qualitative method is adopted, with data sourced from library research encompassing both written materials such as books and academic journals and visual media specifically the movie itself. The findings reveal that religion incarnates as meaning system through various elements – self and world belief, contingencies, expectations, goals, actions, and emotions. The concept of religious meaning system is exemplified by several characters who are directly tangent to the religious practices.

Abstract

Translating culture-specific items is not easy because it requires knowledge and understanding of a particular culture related to the word. Despite many studies that have been conducted related to translation procedures of culture-specific items (CSIs), there is still a lack in the literature, particularly the procedures in the Javanese to English translations of CSIs in films and short movies. This study used CSIs classification and translation procedures based on Newmark’s (1988). The object of this study was Wang Sinawang, a Javanese short movie which was produced by Dinas Perpustakaan dan Arsip Daerah D.I Yogyakarta and was released on its YouTube channel. This research attempts to find the types and the dominant used procedure that was used by the subtitler of Wang Sinawang short movie to translate the culture-specific items. This study employed a qualitative descriptive methodology. The result revealed that the most CSIs that appeared in the short movie was “Material Culture” which includes foods, clothes, houses and towns, and transportation, while the least CSIs appeared was “Social Culture” which includes work and leisure. The Most used procedure was “Recognized Translation” while the least used procedure was “Naturalization” and “Descriptive Equivalent”. The implication of this study is discussed.

Also, on Beauvoir ideas of resist toward The Otherness such as women can work, become intellectuals, contribute to a socialist revolution, and women can transcend their limitations by refusing to internalize their otherness or to identify themselves through the dominant group's eyes. This can be concluded that women still faced severe discrimination, oppression, exploitation, and inequality to gain their freedom, yet women still resist to the oppression in society.
