Abstract

Language plays an important role in shaping character development in literary works, particularly in portraying women’s voices within specific social contexts. This study aims to analyze how illocutionary acts reflect the character development of the four March sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy in Louisa May Alcott’s The Little Women. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, focusing on speech act theory proposed by Searle. The data source of this study is the novel The Little Women, specifically the utterances produced by the four main female characters. Data were collected through documentation techniques, involving careful reading, identifying, and classifying utterances that contain illocutionary acts. The data were analyzed by categorizing the utterances into types of illocutionary acts and interpreting their functions in relation to character development and 19th-century social context. The findings reveal that each character demonstrates distinct dominant illocutionary acts that reflect her personality and personal growth. Jo frequently uses assertive and directive acts, indicating her independence and resistance to gender norms, while Meg’s speech shows internal conflict between desire and social expectations. Beth’s expressive acts reflect her gentle and selfless nature, whereas Amy’s assertive acts illustrate her ambition and maturity. These results show that illocutionary acts significantly contribute to character development in the novel. This study implies that speech act analysis can enhance literary interpretation and support the teaching of pragmatics through literary texts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore cultural values ​​in the Netzwerk B1 textbook, which is widely used in Indonesia. Using a critical social semiotic approach based on Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory, this study examines the semiotic relations between image-text and the cultural meanings contained therein, adopting the semiotic relation model proposed by Xiong and Peng (2021), namely denotational/pedagogic/linguistic relations, denotational/pedagogic relations, and denotational relations. The results show that the Netzwerk B1 textbook provides ample opportunities and space for learners to learn, think, and reflect on German and Indonesian culture, through pedagogical questions in the image-text and in the form of pre-activities or follow-up activities after the image-text is discussed. The implication of this research is that language textbooks should be written and designed with attention to the selection and presentation of cultural materials containing global cultural values ​​and also paying attention to the provision of tasks that can involve learners actively and responsively, whether in the form of hands-on tasks, project-based tasks and problem-based tasks. Thus, learners can have comprehensive cross-cultural knowledge and skills through learning foreign languages, including German.
