Abstract

Sejumlah karya sastra ditulis oleh pengarang berdasarkan imajinasi semata, terinspirasi dari suatu peristiwa, atau merupakan tanggapan penulis terhadap apa yang terjadi di masyarakat. Pramoedya Ananta Toer adalah salah satu pengarang kenamaan Indonesia yang karya-karyanya banyak didasari oleh kejadian faktual yang dia ketahui atau dia alami sendiri. Gadis Pantai adalah sebuah kisah yang dia tulis berdasarkan peristiwa yang terjadi dikalangan kaum awam dengan kaum priyayi di Jawa. Tulisan ini menggunakan perspektif Marxis dalam memahami konflik antara dua kaum yaitu Priyayi dan orang desa. Analisa menunjukkan bahwa hegemoni berperan dalam hubungan kedua kelompok ini. Kaum Priyayi mendominasi kehidupan kaum miskin sementara orang miskin merasa nyaman bisa dekat dengan kaun Priyayi meskipun mereka sudah dihegemoni.

Abstract

Hampir semua huruf mulai dari ‘a’ sampai ‘z’ kecuali huruf ‘j’, ‘q’, dan ‘v’ ditemukan silent (sunyi/ tidak dilafazkan) pada posisi atau lingkungan bunyi tertentu. Misalnya, huruf /b/ sunyi dalam kata ‘plumber’, /g/ sunyi dalam kata ‘gnome’, huruf /p/ dalam kata ‘coup’, /i/ dalam ‘zaria’, /l/ dalam ‘salmon’, /m/ dalam ‘mnemonic’, /s/ dalam ‘debris ‘, /x/ dalam ‘faux’, /z/ dalam rendezvous (Oxford Advanced Learner Dictinary). Kajian ini membahas tentang pola, bentuk, posisi, dan lingkungan dari silent letter tersebut. Data adalah semua kata-kata yang mempunyai silent letter diambil dari Oxpord Advanced Learner Dictionary, kemudian dianalisa dengan menggunakan teori Carney (1994). Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa silent letter terdapat dalam dua pola yaitu pola ‘endocentric digraph’ dan ‘empty letter’. Dari pola endocentric digraph ditemukan bermacam-macam bentuk digraph yang mengambil posisi diawal, ditengah, atau diakhir sebuah kata. Sedangkan pola empty letter tidak punya bentuk. Hubungan bunyi dua huruf yang mengapit satu huruf sangat kuat, sehingga bunyi huruf yang terapit jadi silent. Kemudian diteliti bagaimana mahasiswa melafazkan kata-kata yang mengandung silent letter tersebut. Hasil penelitian penunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan kemampuan mahasiswa senior dalam melafazkan kata-kata yang mengandung silent letter masih sangat rendah.

Abstract

This paper discusses the phrase structure construction of English in the names of foods and drinks on the list of menus sold by some modern restaurants and cafes. The phrase structure analysis is based on Burton's (2013) and Collins's (2000) theories. The function of the head in structure and types of phrases are determined by applying the deletion technique. The research data were collected from lists of menus used in nine Restaurants and cafes in Pondok, a Chinese Town of Padang City. There are 209 food and drink names in the form of noun phrases. The NPs can be categorized into 31 types, ranging from simple to complex constructions. The most common type is Noun + Noun and Adjective + Noun. The NPs are used more for food names than that for drinks'. It is probably due to the wider variety of cooking styles and food ingredients than drinks. A wide variety of NPs used for the menus' names in the observed restaurants indicates the owners' sufficient knowledge of the English language.

This phenomenon is published in various forms, both literary and scientific works. One of them is the novel Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which discusses the issues of racism that he experienced. The issues in this novel include the difficulty of living in school as a black student and the different treatment of black people in terms of law and security.
