Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms, meanings, and underlying factors regarding the use of profanity and insults in the Bajau language in Torosiaje Laut Village, Popayato District, Pohuwato Regency. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a sociolinguistic approach. Data were obtained from the speech of Bajau speakers using non-participatory observation, in-depth interviews, recording, and note-taking techniques. Data analysis involved identifying, classifying, and describing the forms, meanings, and underlying factors of profanity and insult usage based on field data. The results reveal 43 data points, comprising 20 forms of profanity and 23 forms of insults. Formally, these expressions appear as words (including monomorphemic and polymorphemic forms), phrases, and clauses. Semantically, profanity and insults in the Bajau language utilize both denotative and connotative meanings, associating the subject with animals, physical conditions, and matters considered taboo within the community. The factors underlying their use include emotion and familiarity; emotional expression serves as an outlet for frustration, whereas familiarity-based usage occurs in social interactions to strengthen relationships and solidarity among the Bajau people

Abstract

This study examines women's cries in the novels Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi and Gadis Pantai by Pramoedya Ananta Toer using the existentialist feminist perspective of Simone de Beauvoir. This approach was chosen because it can dissect women's experiences not as mere biological fate, but as social constructs that can be resisted through existential awareness and action. This study uses a qualitative literature review with data sources in the form of the 2003 translation of Woman at Point Zero (177 pages) and the 1987 edition of Gadis Pantai (121 pages). The primary research instrument is the researcher herself, who acts as recorder, critical reader, and interpreter of the texts. This study uses note-taking techniques in data collection. Data analysis is conducted through thorough reading, data classification, description, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that women's cries in both novels are not merely physical cries or emotional expressions, but rather a planned existential resistance against the hegemonic patriarchal system. The meaning of the scream goes beyond individual suffering, as it serves as a sharp social critique of patriarchal structures that continue to place women in subordinate, objectified, and othered positions. The scream also depicts women's persistent efforts to reclaim agency, autonomy, and recognition of their existence as self-determining subjects, in accordance with the demands of the ethics of freedom in existentialist feminism.

Abstract

Literary works often reflect the realities of society, particularly in depicting issues of poverty and how people survive. Through the perspective of Alan Swingewood's sociological perspective, this study examines how the themes of poverty and resilience are portrayed in two novels: Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" and Ahmad Tohari's "Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk." The main objective is to uncover the forms of life's limitations in both stories and then to compare the social portraits they depict. This research was conducted qualitatively using descriptive methods, where data were collected through intensive reading techniques and noting key points. The analysis concludes that both books equally portray the harsh realities of the underprivileged lower classes. However, the characters' survival methods differ. While The Old Man and the Sea showcases resilience centered on the hard struggles of an individual, Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk emphasizes the resilience born of a sense of togetherness and the bonds of the local culture of its people. In light of Alan Swingewood's theory, both novels successfully capture the social situations that actually occurred during their time, proving that literature serves as an honest reflection of real life.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and impacts of psychological trauma on characters in the novels Salt To The Sea by Ruta Sepetys and Pulang by Leila S. Chudori. Both novels represent traumatic experiences born from different historical backgrounds, namely World War II and the Indonesian political tragedy of 1965. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. Data are in the form of dialogue excerpts, narratives, inner monologues, and character actions that show symptoms of psychological trauma. Data collection was carried out through literature studies, while the analysis uses the perspective of Cathy Caruth’s literary psychology. The results show that trauma in Salt To The Sea is acute due to the threat of war and is characterized by guilt, fear, shame, anxiety, and avoidance behavior experienced by Joana, Florian, Emilia, and Alfred. Meanwhile, trauma in Pulang is chronic due to political exile, social stigma, and disconnection from the homeland, which is shown through alienation, identity crises, childhood wounds, and loss of emotional ties in Dimas Suryo, Lintang Utara, Segara Alam, and Bimo Nugroho. This trauma affects the emotional condition, thought patterns, behavior, and social relationships of the characters. The research findings show that psychological trauma in both novels represents the impact of historical experiences that shape the characters’ identities and responses to life.

Abstract

RACTThe purpose of this study is to analyze and explain the strategies of compliance and violation of speech acts that occur in interactions between traders and buyers. This study was conducted in three main locations, namely Pasar Baru, Pasar BTN Lama, and Pasar Seminai in Pangkalan Kerinci in April 2026. The population in this study included all transactional speech activities in the market area, with a sample of 40 spoken speech datum selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using listening, recording, and note-taking techniques to document the dialogue in its entirety without disturbing the naturalness of interactions in the field. The research instrument used was the researcher himself as the main instrument (human instrument), assisted by a voice recorder, field notes, and lingual data transcription guidelines. The data analysis tool used a pragmatic equivalent method by aligning the concept of Leech's Principles of Politeness and Brown and Levinson's Speech Strategy to see the relationship between the content of moral values and the way speech is delivered in the field. The results of the study indicate two main interaction patterns: a mutually supportive pattern (harmonious interaction) and a conflicting pattern (economic conflict of interest). In the supportive pattern, speakers adhere to politeness maxims aligned with positive or negative small talk strategies to maintain comfort and test customer loyalty. Conversely, in the conflicting pattern, speakers deliberately violate politeness maxims through strategies of being blunt (on record), vague (off record), or even silent strategies due to the motivation of economic gain or deadlocked price bargaining. This study concludes that the combination of politeness rules and speaking strategies in traditional markets functions as a dynamic social balancing tool to align economic transaction targets without damaging the kinship ties of market residents.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the depiction of community life through socio-economic and educational dimensions in two novels, namely Laskar Pelangi by Andrea Hirata and Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery, using the theoretical framework of Alan Swingewood's sociology of literature. The approach applied is descriptive qualitative. The main data sources come from the first edition of the novel Laskar Pelangi published in 2005 and the first edition of the novel Anne of Green Gables published in 1908. The research data includes fragments of words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues that represent community life, including aspects of education, economy, social, culture, and the relationship patterns between characters in both works. Data collection was carried out through literature studies, while data analysis went through a series of stages, namely in-depth reading, data verification according to the research focus, application of Alan Swingewood's sociology of literature theory, description of the analysis results, data interpretation, and conclusion. The results of the study reveal that the novel Laskar Pelangi represents the life of the Belitung community who are entangled in poverty, colored by social inequality, and face limited educational facilities and infrastructure. In contrast, the novel Anne of Green Gables depicts the simple yet relatively stable socio-economic life of the Avonlea community, with a much more conducive educational environment. The similarities between the two novels lie in the position of education as an instrument of social change and the formation of the characters' characters, while the differences are evident in the socio-economic conditions of each community, which directly influence their access to and the educational process they undergo. This research confirms that literary works can function as authentic reflections of the social realities of society in the eras that form their backgrounds.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms and causes of the protagonists’ internal conflicts in the novels The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Seporsi Mie Ayam Sebelum Mati by Brian Khrisna, utilizing Kurt Lewin’s approach-avoidance conflict theory. These two novels were selected because they both explore themes of trauma, guilt, and despair experienced by their protagonists despite originating from different socio-cultural contexts thereby enabling a cross-cultural comparison of psychological conflict patterns. The study employs a literary psychology approach, utilizing a qualitative descriptive method and a literature review (textual analysis) for data collection. The data consist of narrative excerpts and dialogue from both novels that indicate the protagonists’ psychological conflicts; these data were subsequently analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the character Amir in The Kite Runner experiences an approach-avoidance conflict, characterized by a struggle between the desire to atone for past mistakes and the fear of confronting trauma and guilt. Meanwhile, Ale in Seporsi Mie Ayam Sebelum Mati experiences an avoidance-avoidance conflict, characterized by a choice between enduring life’s suffering and putting an end to his despair. These differing forms of conflict demonstrate that the characters’ psychological pressures are influenced by the specific socio-cultural contexts of each story. This research is expected to enrich the study of cross-cultural literary psychology, particularly regarding the understanding of the variations in internal conflicts experienced by fictional characters.

The data collection method was carried out through reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was carried out by reading, grouping, describing, analyzing, and interpreting data based on Ian Watt’s theory. The research findings show that this novel reflects the social life of village communities affected by poverty, social injustice, economic inequality, community culture, and women’s issues. In addition, this novel also contains social functions in the form of social criticism, moral values, and religious values. In other words, the novel Bekisar Merah is not just entertainment, but also functions as a medium for reflection on the social life of society.
