Abstract

This research concentrates on the floutings of Grice’s maxims found in the creation of verbally expressed humor in an American situational comedy entitled Friends season 9. Therefore, this research aimed to find out how flouting Grice’s maxims might contribute to creating some humorous conversations on Friends season 9. The transcripts of the characters’ utterances from Friends season 9 served as the data for this study. In order to answer the research question, the qualitative method is used in analyzing the data in the form of words. The findings show that all of Grice’s maxims were flouted in creating some of the humor of the sitcom; there are 86 floutings found. The most frequently flouted maxim was the maxim of Quality (36 times). The results also reveal that by applying the three major theories of humor (incongruity, superiority, psychic release), flouting Grice’s maxims might create humor because of three reasons. The first reason is that the floutings show/illustrate the character’s defects or suffering. There are misfortunes or unpleasant experiences of the sitcom’s characters that the audience laughs at (superiority-based humor). The second reason is that the floutings go against the expectation from the audience that what happens in the sitcom is different from what is expected (incongruity-based humor). The final explanation is that the floutings present a sexually-related subject. By presenting the subject, laughter is evoked by the relief from the removal, albeit momentary, of the restraint (psychic release-based humor). Keywords: Cooperative Principle, Floutings, Verbal Humor, Friends

Abstract

Abstract This study is about the identity problem of African Americans in Langston Hughes’ “I, Too” and Paul Dunbar’s “We Wear the Mask”. The objectives of the study are to find out the portrayal of identity problem in the poems and the poets’ attitude and world view. The study employs sociological approach and Pricilla B.P Clark’ literary sociology as the theory and library research as the method of collecting data. The results show that the racism faced by African Americans in America and their self-identification and position as American citizens have put them in identity problem. Meanwhile, the poets, though in different attitudes, have shown their optimism that the African Americans will not face racial discrimination and gain equality in the future.

Abstract

Debating what works can be included in the study of Asian literature has given us difficult yet interesting discussion. This paper aims at comparing and contrasting the three literary works to propose what should be included in the consideration of which work should be included in the study of Asian literature. The three texts are selected as to meet the three differences: the first work is written by Asian writer and originally written in English; the second work is written by Asian writer but translated into English; and the third work is written by non-Asian writer but uses Asian setting. The methods applied in the research are the library research as the method for collecting the data, and the descriptive analytical method as the method of analyzing the data. Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day (1989) which has won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction tells a story of a very dedicated English buttler named Stevens. It does not present Japanese story nor setting. Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood (1987) presents us Japanese story of Toru Watanabe and his love relationships with Naoko and Midori with the Japanese setting. David Mitchell’s Number9dream (2001) presents us the experience of Eiji Miyake’s search of his father in Japan. The considerations for a work to be eligible as part of Asian literature should first go with the story and the theme of the work, then with the original language of the novel and finally the background of the author. As a conclusion, among these three works, I propose that Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood is best representing Japanese literature.

Abstract

This research examined the implementation of online learning in an English Speaking class at a school of foreign languages in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it studied the obstacles that the students experienced in the learning process. It was a descriptive qualitative research. Data were obtained from observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The results showed that the implementation of online learning in the Speaking 2 class ran well. The students could follow the instructions given online by the lecturer, and they could apply their knowledge by taking part in class activities, class assignments, and class exams. The lecturer supported the students exactly whenever they needed it. The online learning at the language school, which combined Google Classroom and Zoom Meetings, could make the learning process more optimal. However, the effect of online learning for Speaking class on the students’ outcomes could be not very satisfying.

Abstract

“Romeo and Juliet” is one of the most prominent plays written by William Shakespeare. The play mostly narrates the binary of love and hate. It narrates the love between two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, as well as hate between two families named Capulet and Montague. This study aims to scrutinize the theme that is ultimately also the major concern in defining a play. This research is a library research that employs the theory of theme and structural analysis. The finding covers the intrinsic aspects of the play such as plot, setting, and characters that reflect the theme of the play. The themes of “Romeo and Juliet” are the love between Romeo and Juliet, the hate between two family, and also death. Romeo and Juliet are secretly getting married however their love becomes a tragedy when they have to overcome their family’s conflict. The plot presents a tragedy that is developed in the exposition, rising action, climax, resolution, and conclusion.

Abstract

This research was intended to examine if a Javanese cultural trait “sungkan” affects students’ willingness to speak (WTS) in English. Questionnaires of closed and open-ended questions were distributed to obtain information around sungkan and its association with WTS from 12 lecturers (the group of seniors) and 15 college students of English (the group of juniors). The amount of sungkan and WTS in English in different speaking events was determined. The results, first, show that unlike the juniors, the seniors still dearly hold sungkan. When fronted with events that signified the importance of the practice of sungkan, the senior repondents outperformed the juniors in adhering to the cultural trait. Second, for both groups, sungkan proves to affect their WTS in L2 (English) especially with the seniors, the well-acquainted speaking partners, and the people of power. The more distant the status is, the more sungkan is observed and if less or no personal identification is detected, less sungkan is pronounced and the WTS in L2 (English) increases. In conclusion, the rate of sungkan correlates with the level of WTS among these Javanese learners of English.
