Abstract

This research aims to describe the image of oppressed women in the novel Pada Sebuah Kapal by Nh. Dini. The image of women is explained in two forms, namely physical image and psychological image. A woman's physical image and psychological image tend to be the main points of choice. This is due to the development of the times where beauty standards are starting to form in society so that women experience the disadvantages of forming these standards. Beauty standards that apply in society are having an ideal body shape (slim, tall), symmetrical face shape, white skin, straight hair and many more. The method used is descriptive qualitative where quotation data is described and analyzed. Based on this, this research is included in library research and the researcher acts as an instrument. The research data source is the novel Pada Sebuah Kapal. The data in the research is in the form of quotations from sentences, paragraphs and narratives of characters that show the image of women in the novel. The technique used is the reading and writing technique. This means that researchers read the novel first to gain an understanding of the content of the novel. After that, the researcher recorded the quotation data found in the novel Pada Sebuah Kapal. Then, the data is analyzed. The results of the research show that the female characters in the novel experience thoughts of physical and psychological images in the form of complaints, understanding, not being noticed and being compared with other women.Keywords: Novels, oppressed women, physical and psychological images.

Abstract

This study delves into the pivotal role of religion in shaping the American narrative, emphasizing the waning influence of Christianity. Originating from the historical context of the Puritans' break from the Church of England to purify their faith, Christianity has experienced significant shifts in prevalence among Americans. While it was once a ubiquitous identity, recent trends indicate a decline, with approximately two-thirds of adults now identifying as Christians. This evolving religious landscape has become a matter of concern for Americans, influencing various literary works. Notably, the Avatar film series, encompassing Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water, subtly addresses issues of religious beliefs. Despite the less overt exploration of religious themes, the presence of a Great Mother figure in the narratives suggests a persistent inclination toward supernatural beliefs. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and specifically utilizing conceptual and associative meanings in the semiotic approach, this study analyzes the nuanced portrayal of Christianity's decline in America within the context of the Avatar film series.

Abstract

The songs Angeleyes (1979), Lay All Your Love on Me (1980), and Slipping Through My Fingers (1981) by ABBA are examined in this research. This study looks at how women are stereotypically portrayed in ABBA songs. This study examines how gender is portrayed in roles, particularly as it relates to women, using Linda Brannon's Gender Stereotype theory. Information is derived from many texts and the song's lyrics. The research's content is explained using a qualitative descriptive technique. The research's conclusions are based on the usage of the topic and style of the language of love, which employs metaphors in figurative language. It is from metaphorical language that the notion of love arises, symbolizing the characteristics of the feminine gender. The conversation that followed clarified that song lyrics are a form of poetry writing and that specific metaphorical language also has significance in how women are portrayed. According to the study, a song's content and lyrical style create stereotypes of women, creating a metaphorical figurative language. This use of metaphorical language gives the song's lyrics a meaning related to love. The song lyrics illustrate the virtues and faults of women by defining love in several ways. These items are all related to one another.

Abstract

The examination of grieving archetypes in contemporary American novels is crucial for understanding the cultural myths surrounding emotional expression, particularly the stereotype that "men don't cry, women do." This study addresses the gap in literature regarding the portrayal of gendered grief by analysing Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones." This research uses a descriptive analysis method and semiotic approach to investigate how characters' grieving processes reflect and challenge traditional gender norms. The findings indicate that male and female characters exhibit intuitive, instrumental, and blended grief patterns, thus subverting the conventional stereotypes. This study concludes that literary depictions of grief contribute to the broader cultural narrative and influence perceptions of gendered emotional expression, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding beyond simplistic stereotypes.

Abstract

This study examines the use of illocutionary acts in Dave Chappelle's stand-up comedy The Closer, focusing on its micro classes and literal meanings. Utilizing the framework established by Searle (1969) and employing a qualitative methodology, this study collects the data through library research. The findings reveal that Dave Chappelle’s stand-up comedy uses four micro classes of illocutionary acts, consisting of assertive, directive, expressive, and commissive. Assertive acts become the most prevalent micro classes used by Dave Chappelle (604 data), indicating his authority delivery by asking questions, giving comments, or making requests. After that, directive acts are used to engage the audiences during the performance (74 data) by using personal anecdotes. Following that, expressive acts are utilized to show his emotional connection to the content (42 data) through conveying his psychological state. Finally, commissive acts are employed to indicate commitment on his personal concern (17 data) by making promises or expressing his intention. To conclude, this study provides better understanding of stand-up comedy as a performative speech blending humor with social commentary. Future study should explore audience reception to better understand comedic performances' societal impact.Keywords: Illocutionary Acts, micro classes, stand-up comedy, Dave Chappelle.

Abstract

This paper examines the interpretation of King Charles III’s Christmas Day Speech 2023,  utilizing the translation approaches proposed by Molina and Albir.  The study aims to uncover the linguistic and cultural complexities involved in interpreting royal discourse and evaluate the effectiveness of these translation strategies in this context.  Two primary objectives guide the analysis: first, to assess how Molina and Albir’s approaches enhance the interpretation’s linguistic fidelity, cultural adaptation, and communicative effectiveness;  second, to identify the challenges and strategies in translating royal speeches and the applicability of these methodologies.Through a systematic examination of the speech, the study highlights the efficacy most of the techniques, such as adaptation, calque, modulation, transposition, variation, equivalent, linguistic amplification, generalization, and literal translation.  The findings indicate that these strategies are instrumental in conveying the monarch’s intended message accurately and respectfully.  The analysis also reveals the practical challenges faced by interpreters, such as managing culturally specific references and maintaining the speech’s solemn register, and demonstrates how Molina and Albir’s approaches address the issues.  The study contributes to a deeper understanding of interpreting practices in the context of royal discourse, offering insights for interpreters, translators, and scholars alike.  It underscores the importance of strategic techniques selection to achieve both accuracy and cultural resonance. Ultimately, this research endeavors to enrich the discourse on interpreting royal speeches by offering a nuanced analysis informed by established interpreting methodologies.

Abstract

Within a conversation, people tend to use different word choices to convey the same meaning since they consider to whom they talk. Here, pragmatics role takes place. Pragmatic study focuses on how language turns to account in social communications. Moreover, this concerns to the interrelation between the speaker and the listener. This research aims to analyse the importance of using pragmatics in social interaction and how it affects the social relation between the interpreter and the interpreted. This was a case study that performed qualitative research. The subjects were chosen considering the age-gap of both speakers and their social relationship that affects the existence of pragmatic competence. The researcher took the primary data from a conversation in social context by participating in observation and note-taking/recording technique, then the conversation was being transcribed. Meanwhile, several related literatures were used as the secondary data to maintain the reliability of the data. The data then were presented descriptively to analyse the result. It was found that pragmatics took a significance part in maintaining the social relationship for both interlocutors. The interlocutors used different level of language according to the level of language politeness. The goal of communication was not only to deliver the message among interlocutors but also to maintain a close social relationship. Furthermore, age and social status were some aspects that cannot be neglected in social norms thus the role of pragmatics was also enormously needed to perform politeness in language..

Abstract

The term "swearing words" refers to diction that is deemed taboo, unpleasant, cursing, and restricted in discourse. However, there is no way to avoid it. It has so existed since the beginning of human spoken communication and continues to this day. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the swearing phrases in one of the holy scriptures, the holy Quran. This was done to determine whether swearing words exist in the sacred place or not. The researchers collected data by reading scripture and noting each indicated verse. The efforts were done three times to measure there was no any single datum which was left. Next, a data selection process was carried out to ensure the accuracy of the data by consulting Al Tabari's Tafseer book. After collecting a large amount of data, the researchers conducted a thorough analysis to determine: 1) the function of swearing words and 2) the origin of swearing phrases as depicted in holy text. The investigation revealed that there are two roles of cursing. According to the findings, the swear words acquired are employed to insult, to curse, and show furious emotions. The second discovery is that swearing words can come from five different sources. The categories are animal, mental, physical, safety, and respectability.Keywords: Swearing words, Holy Scripture, Qur’an.
