Abstract

In this increasingly sophisticated era, people have to fulfil many financial needs. Many people are trapped in poverty and finally decide to work abroad to become migrant workers. This happens because a person's expectations for working abroad are very high, namely a large salary. This research aims to explain that by becoming a migrant worker, many substances must be sacrificed, and the researchers want to inspire the public so that they are not influenced by the hyperreality of the existing media. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with hyperreality theory. Then the data source is Five Me Migrant Works by Md Mukul Hossine. The figurative language includes metaphor, personification, hyperbole, imagery, and symbolism. The research results show that the author talks about feelings of sadness, despair, longing, and loss of family and social life. Migrant workers' hyperreality of high wages is not always commensurate with the suffering they experience.

Abstract

This article has explored the affixation process in the novel The Second Victory by Morris West. Affixation is a morphological process where bound morphemes or affixes are added to create diverse forms of a word. In this study, the researchers analyzed the process of affixation in the novel. This process was researched to be a source of information for readers who want to learn the process of affixation through the explanation of the base word and its affixes. This research aimed to identify the affixes and suffixes present in the novel. The researchers chose Morris West’s The Second Victory because many of Morris West’s works are set in the 40s, which makes readers feel curious about the novel. The qualitative method within analyses of existing verbal data was employed in this research. The researchers found 104 data containing 15 prefixes and 89 suffixes, with a total presentation of 100%. In this novel, the prefix that dominated was RE- which means again to indicate repetition, while the suffix that dominated was -LY which is used to form an adjective from a noun.  Using novels as a medium for learning is very effective, especially for people who like to read; therefore, the results of this study can be used to easily identify prefixes and suffixes both in terms of meaning and process in literary works.

Abstract

Language and speech ability of people with Down syndrome is usually slow; Down syndrome is more capable of being a receiver than an expresser in communication. This study aimed to explore the language skills of individuals with Down syndrome and to investigate how psycholinguistic approaches contribute to understanding the language ability of individuals with Down syndrome. The research method was qualitative and a case study with a single subject. The data were collected through observations and interviews. The analysis of the data consists of data transcribing, coding, and data categorization. The results showed a psycholinguistics approach can determine the language skills of a 19-year-old person with Down syndrome. The subject was able to understand simple everyday questions but she faced difficulties in answering questions related to pictures and multiple-choice questions, due to limited cognitive processes, lexicon, syntax, and phonology. Then the expressive and receptive abilities in language showed that the subject has quite good expressive abilities for the Down syndrome category, and for receptive abilities, the subject faced difficulty in complex, abstract questions, and also questions involving multiple choices.

Abstract

Maintaining etiquette in speech acts is a part of politeness strategies conducted in communication. This study aimed to describe the use of politeness strategies and the influence factors found in the political talk show of Mata Najwa. The research method employed a descriptive qualitative one as proposed by Brown and Levinson’s four politeness strategies. Face is indicated as an inherently political element in the theory of Goffman. The data is a dialogue transcription taken from Mata Najwa YouTube.on 18 October 2023. The techniques of collecting data were documentation by watching, listening, transcribing, reviewing the transcription, and selecting the speakers’ utterances. The data analysis involved identifying, and classifying utterances based on politeness strategies, analyzing frequency, interpreting the data, and drawing conclusions. The analysis of 193 utterances showed that 114 of them had positive politeness strategy data (59%), 34 had bald-on politeness strategy data (17,6%), 24 had negative politeness strategy data (12,4%), and 21 had off-record politeness strategy data (17,6%). The positive politeness method is the most commonly employed tactic. It suggests that the inclination toward familiarity between speakers and listeners as well as the sentiment to reveal people's individuality by lowering FTA in each phrase is generated by particular factors. That becomes a point for speakers to build and maintain relationships.

Abstract

The creation of a new text is highly influenced by previous texts, known as intertextual relationships. For instance, the short stories "Menombak Matahari" and "Sarpakuda" portray the resistance of Ki Ageng Mangir and the agony of Putri Pambayun, and are likely inspired by preexisting texts. This research examines the intertextual relationship between these two short stories and Babad Mangir from Suradipura, an old literature, as modern literary works. A comparative and an intertextual approach have been used to achieve this goal. By comparing the textual data of the short stories and the text of Babad Mangir Suradipura, it is evident that both short stories use Babad Mangir as a source of inspiration but develop their conflicts differently while still using traditional themes.

Abstract

This quantitative experimental design research was aimed at finding out whether a project-based English teaching and learning activity affects the student's learning outcomes and motivation. A pretest and a post-test were given to know the students' skills before and after they joined the project-based teaching and learning process. The project was in the form of asking the students to cook any food on their preference in which they had to use English before, during, and after the process. The respondents were 11 female students which were chosen by using a simple random sampling technique. The result of the research was that the six respondents stated that they strongly agreed that project-based English teaching and learning increased their learning motivation. In addition, 5 respondents stated that they agreed. Hence, no respondents said that it was not motivational. The research also showed that there was a significant increase of 13 points in the average score between the pretest and post-test results. It means the use of project-based teaching and learning activity was scientifically proven to be effective in increasing the student's learning motivation and outcome.

Abstract

This research investigated the forms of gender discrimination experienced by the female character Jo March in the film "Little Women (2019)" and Jo's efforts against the discrimination in her societal life during the post-Civil War era in America. The study is conducted through a contextual approach and utilizes Simone de Beauvoir's feminist study approach. This research identifies the forms of discrimination experienced by the character Jo March in aspects of work, life, and family. Additionally, the research also reveals the forms of resistance carried out by Jo March in confronting gender discrimination including (1) continuing her work; (2) rejecting gender conventions; (3) pursuing independence in education and financial matters; and (4) advocating for women's rights. This research provides insights into the gender inequality faced by women in America at that time. The findings are expected to inspire women to further advocate for their rights and not give up in the face of the discrimination they experience. This study contributes to the field of gender studies by highlighting the pervasive impact of patriarchal norms on gender discrimination, thereby inspiring women to advocate for their rights and fostering a deeper understanding of gender equality. Additionally, it offers valuable insights for future research, encouraging a broader exploration of feminist issues and the diverse cultural contexts affecting women's roles and autonomy.

Abstract

News writing is generally formulated using a standard, formal language style. However, Catch Me Up!, an online daily newspaper, broke those strict rules by offering casual, loose, non-standard language which predominantly used code-switching as one of the ways to alter formal to informal language styles. Hence, this study aimed to describe the various types of code-switching that occurred on Catch Me Up! and explain why the news frequently employed code-switching. Three theories underlie the present research; types of code-switching by Poplack and a combination of reasons for code-switching by Hoffmann, Gumperz, and San. The study applied the descriptive-qualitative method since the data were in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. The data sources were taken from 17 international news published in July 2023. The results revealed that, out of 235 found data, intra-sentential switching became the most occurred data regarding code switching types. In line with the reasons for code-switching, addressee specification and expressing group identity appeared dominantly in this study, followed by talking about a particular topic, interjection, indicating emotions, intention for clarifying the speech substance for interlocutors, and quoting somebody else.
