Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 10, No 1 (2019): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Novel is a collection of history about how words were changing from time to time. As words moved dynamically, they could be interpreted differently depending on how people used it. Some words from now might have a different meaning in the past. This phenomenon was what we call as semantic changes. This was one of the reason why it was very common for words to have a different meaning from time to time or even extinct, especially in novels. In order to see the semantic changes that happened in novels, this paper was conducted to see and compare the semantic changes that occurred in horror novels around 1800s-2000s. Six horror novels which were being chosen were Dracula, The Exorcist, The Daughter, Frankenstein, Bedtime, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, as these novels are kept being re-published from time to time, and are popular horror novels. The method that was used was qualitative, with Corpus Analysis, and software called as Antconc as the data instrument. This paper was comparing the semantic changes that occurred in horror novels around 1800s-2000s. The analysis result showed that the semantic changes that happened mostly because of the angle of talking, which meant that meaning could be changed because of the context of the text. To conclude, semantic changes could be seen in the horror novels that the researchers analyzed, and the changes happened because of the differences in contexts.Keywords: semantic changes, horror novels, horror

Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 9, No 2 (2019): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

The use of metadiscourse in academic writing has become a topic of interest in recent years. It can be defined as the words and phrases that writers use in their writing to express their ideas and thoughts to make it easier for readers to process the information presented. It is especially crucial in academic writing since writers are expected to present their arguments in an appropriate and acceptable manner. It has also been said that culture plays a role influencing how arguments and ideas are expressed, especially in academic writing. Although metadiscourse plays an integral role in academic writing, studies have shown how EFL learners often make mistakes in employing this linguistic device. From this, the writer would like to explore the metadiscourse produced by Indonesian EFL learners and compare it with how native speakers of English employ metadiscourse in their writing. In other words, this study is basically an attempt to find out whether the metadiscourse produced by the two groups with different cultural backgrounds are different or similar. The source of data for the current study is the metadiscourse markers from the thesis abstracts of students of the English Language and Culture Department at Bunda Mulia University and American students from a university in the U.S. In order to analyze the metadiscourse markers found in the thesis abstracts of the Indonesian and American students, the writer will make use of the AntConc software version 3.5.6 by Anthony (2018). The result of the study reveals that there are some differences and similarities in the way both group of students employed these markers.Keywords: metadiscourse, thesis abstracts, Indonesian and American students
