Abstract

This analysis explores the issue of oppression towards women as a result of patriarchal practices, traditional traditions, gender roles, and social expectations in the novel The Widows of Malabar Hill (2018) by Sujata Massey. This is qualitative research that relies on text and applies feminist literary criticism to analyze the issue in the novel. This analysis aims to find out the forms of oppression experienced by the upper-class women in the novel. This research found that upper-class women experienced several forms of oppression including gender-based discrimination, gender-based marginalization, powerlessness, restricted access to formal education, restriction on property sales rights, being forbidden to work in public, limitation in freedom of mobility, cultural and religious practices, gender-based violence, and lack of legal rights. This research also indicates that even in the upper social classes, gender and patriarchal culture are the main causes of women's oppression. This oppression limits the opportunities that upper-class women have to develop their true potential.

Abstract

AbstractEcological issues in the context of Niger-Delta, Nigeria have been approached mostly from the perspective of environmental degradation, and marginalisation in previous studies. However, in literary pieces, which are mostly the dominant objects of analysis in those studies, there are underlying linguistic imports, which are reflexive of the beauty of the literary discourses revolving around the Niger-Delta environment. It is based on this backdrop that this study sets out to examine selected poems of Tanure Ojaide from an ecolinguistic perspective. To achieve the aim of the study, five poems are selected purposively from Ojaide’s Songs of Myself and analysed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to data analysis. The data is also examined using the Eco-critical Discourse Analysis (EDA) approach. The findings from the study reveal the use of rhetorical devices to converge towards emphasising the beauty of the ecological characteristics of the physical environment. The use of imagery by the poet draws on readers’ socio-cognitive instincts towards the appealing to their emotive senses. In conclusion, the use of the eco-linguistic approach to examine the poems has not only revealed the poet’s intents but has also demystified the myth behind the ecosystem of the Niger Delta.

Abstract

This study is concerned with the linguistic devices used to persuade and manipulate audiences of political discourse in the 2020 US Presidential election. This study focused on Donald Trump's and Joe Biden's rhetorical and framing strategies in their speech and debate. A qualitative method was used to conduct the study to analyze the data. The study aimed to find the rhetorical and framing strategies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden and to find how they persuade and manipulate audiences of the political discourse. The findings reveal that the rhetorical strategy, Pathos, or the appeal to emotions, was utilized the most by Donald Trump compared to a more balanced use of all rhetorical strategies by Joe Biden. At the same time, logos were focused more on debates for both candidates. For framing strategies, both candidates utilized emphasis the most to stress the importance of an issue or to concentrate on a message. According to the analysis, Donald Trump mainly used persuasive language, which can be seen by referencing "patriots" several times to evoke a sense of unity, which is different compared to his debates, where he is very manipulative in using statistics and facts that are not fully referenced and an abundance of straight lies. This can be seen when he claimed that he cut "drug prices," which is false. Joe Biden used a persuasive strategy by referencing history and events such as "Charlottesville".

The most dominant anxiety in students is related to two main aspects, namely Communication Apprehension and Test Anxiety. Furthermore, students' speaking ability has generally reached the level of "good enough" in aspects such as fluency, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Then, the relationship between the level of speaking anxiety and students' language production is a very negative strong relationship. It can be conclude that speaking anxiety has a significant negative impact on language production skills among first-year English Language and Literature students at Padang State University.

Abstract

As the national ethos of the United States, the American Dream promises a better life for all Americans, including immigrants. Yet, achieving it has not always been easy for them. This research reveals the difficulties that immigrants experience in pursuing the American Dream. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, applying Terry Eagleton’s Marxist theory and Jim Cullen’s American Dream theory. This research aims to identify the versions of the American Dream that immigrants want to achieve and examine its difficulties stemming from the capitalist economic system. The results of this research found that there are six versions of the American Dream that immigrants want to achieve, including The Puritan Enterprise, Declaration of Independence, Upward Mobility, The Dream of Equality, The Dream of Home Ownership, and The Coast. This research also found that negative aspects of the capitalist economic system, including inequality, exploitation, alienation, and ideological power, become barriers for immigrants in pursuing the American Dream. The irony lies in perceiving the capitalist system as a means to achieve the American Dream, as it paradoxically creates barriers for immigrants. This research concludes that the American Dream does not truly promise a better life for everyone, especially immigrants facing socio-economic disadvantages.
