Abstract

This research explores the concept of body discipline and its implications in the movie "Turning Red," focusing on the character Meilin Lee and her portrayal of female regulation. The research method used in this study is qualitative research. Specifically, the study uses descriptive research, primarily focusing on describing the main character's characteristics. For data collection, the researchers watched the movie Turning Red repeatedly and highlighted the issue related to the research problem through dialogues and scenes. Meanwhile, in analyzing the data, the researchers classified and analyzed the types of body discipline and impact on Meilin Lee through the lens of Foucault's theory. The analysis reveals that family and social space significantly influence the constraints imposed on the main character, depicted as the Red Panda, transforming her behavior, resulting in anger or frustration, shock, and eventually acceptance. Through this research, the movie "Turning Red" serves as a platform to explore and highlight the effects of body discipline on individuals, particularly in the context of female regulation.

Abstract

This study explores the phonological system in the Kempo subdialect (MSdK) and S>H Kolang subdialect (MSdS>H) in West Manggarai Regency. The study was conducted at nine survey sites by interviewing 200 vocabularies compiled by Swadesh. I analyzed the data by comparing the phonological systems between the two subdialects and formulating the possibilities of their occurrence in the word. The results show that the two subdialects have slightly different phonological systems. They have a different inventory of vowel phonemes: 15 consonant sounds in MSdK and 17 consonant sounds in MSdS>H. This study also found three non-pulmonic consonant phonemes in the two subdialects: bilabial /?/, Alveolar /?/, and Velar /?/. In the case of the two subdialects, the non-pulmonic consonant phonemes have unique characteristics: (1) appearing in the initial and middle positions of words, making it impossible for three pulmonic consonants (i.e., consonants /b/, /d/, and /g /) to appear in the initial position. The existence of the three consonant phonemes only appears when at the beginning of the word, it is preceded by another consonant forming a cluster and located on the first syllable (i.e., /mb/, /nd/, and /?g/). The two subdialects also have a relatively similar inventory of vocal phonemes: 6 vowel phonemes. Diphthongs are almost identical between the two subdialects, 7 diphthongs which only appear in mono-syllable words and are located at the end of words. In contrast, two additional diphthongs in MSdS>H appear in two-syllable words and the middle position of the word.

Abstract

This study is to reveal the metaphor used in political talks among the supporters of running mates in Indonesian General Election of 2019, those are Jokowi as the incumbent, and Prabowo as the competitor. This applied a content analysis to explore the use of metaphor in the political speeches. The data source included the news and the videos containing metaphors produced by the politician supporting the candidates. The theory applied in investigating the metaphors are conceptual metaphor (Lakoff and Johnson:1980), and the Critical Metaphor Analysis, CMA (Charteris-Black: 2004). Some conceptual metaphors drawn from their metaphorical expressions are NATION IS A BUILDING, functions to criticize that the building couldn’t stand on the lie, hiding the history of competitor candidate, Prabowo. Other metaphors from the incumbent are targeted to Rocky Gerung (RG), as a tough and intelligent speakers in Indonesian political discourse. Budiman Sujatmiko took the concept of DEBATING IS A PLAY, undermining the arguments in RG’s statements. Meanwhile, the supporters in Prabowo Camp focuses on criticizing the behavior of the existing government and leaders, by creating concepts of MISUSING IS STEALING, PRESIDENT IS A SCHOOL BOY, SWEARING IS A SENSATION, TO LEAD IS TO SUFFER. These two different metaphors go into an ideology with different direction. In one side, the incumbents claim that the government has failed. In another, the opposants believe that it has failed, by proving their bad behaviors

Abstract

Mr. Prabowo Subianto is often regarded as a controversial figure, both in his military and political career. This research aims to find out Mr. Prabowo Subianto’s representation in one of The New York Times articles entitled “Indonesian General Accused of Kidnapping Is Named Defense Minister”, which was written by Richard C. Paddock in 2019. The article mainly discusses the controversial issue regarding Mr. Joko Widodo’s, the re-elected President of Indonesia, decision to appoint Mr. Subianto, his rival in the presidential election, to be one of his cabinet ministers. In analyzing the topic, van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis, is utilized. Despite the fact that in van Dijk’s CDA there are three levels of analysis, namely the macro, meso, and micro levels, this paper is limited to the micro level only, as this focuses more on unveiling a more specific and detailed portrayal of Mr. Subianto’s representation in the newspaper article. In the microstructure analysis, three linguistics tools are employed, namely actor description, level of description, and rhetoric. The research applies the descriptive qualitative method as well as the library research method. The findings consistently show the negative representation of Mr. Subianto in the macrostructure, microstructure and superstructure analyses.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the message contained in the lyrics of the song “Jiwa Yang Bersedih” by using discourse analysis approach. The primary data in this research are the lyrics of the song entitled “Jiwa Yang Bersedih”. The song lyrics are taken from the sonora.id website. The data were then analyzed using discourse analysis theory which includes language, structure and context of song lyrics. This research used theory by Paltridge (2006) in analyzing discourse elements and Mitchell (2023) in analyzing the lyric structure. Based on the results of the analysis, the song reveals a well-structured composition with a conventional format comprising verses, choruses, an interlude, and an outro. Repetition of specific phrases, especially in the verses and choruses, underlines the empathetic message, emphasizing understanding and support for individuals grappling with sorrow. The narrative flow of the song takes the listener on a journey from an invitation to express emotions to a reaffirmation of strength and the promise of being heard, illustrating resilience in the face of challenges. Linguistic elements, including pronouns, metaphors, imagery, alliteration, and symbolism, are strategically used to establish a personal connection with the listener and vividly convey emotional struggles.

Abstract

This study focused on analyzing Minahasa famous folklores called Toar Lumimuut and Sigarlaki Limbat. Despite just being folklores in the past, due to their popularity, they have been preserved officially in writings and have been considered as local treasure of Minahasa. In order to give them better spot in revitalization due to globalization that give more pressure to the local culture, it is necessary to take specific action to preserve and revitalize them. This study was conducted by gaining data through library research and interview, then analyzed by literary criticism called world literature by David Damrosch. There were five Minahasa local people who participated in the interview. Both of them are males while the other three are females. It is found that both folklores suit the three characteristics to be called world literature. They both are available in several translations, they are refracted in other literary worlds around the world, and they are popular and their scripts have been digitalized by official governments. The acts of comparing these two literary works through world literature perspectives are considered necessary in conveying to the Minahasa young generation and even globally that the local folklores can be classified as world literature as well and becomes the local and national treasure that should be appreciated, respected, and reserved.

Abstract

This research aims to obtain a deep notion of what stands beyond one of Achebe’s prominent African trilogies – Things Fall Apart – from the concept of anticolonialism promoted by Aimé Césaire. It examines two main subject matters i.e.; the reason why African people struggle so hard to oppose the oppression of the colonizers and what efforts they develop to react to the bad treatment. The harassment of human values - what Césaire called "thingification", trampled culture, damaged socio-cultural foundations, destroyed native religions, and confiscated ancestral inherited lands have apparently become the trigger for the struggle against colonialism. Meanwhile, the real way and effort made to fight the arrogance of the colonialists was to strengthen cultural identity and maintain the noble values that had united all tribes. In this way, the Igbo tribe and the Nigerian people finally gained their independence on October 1, 1960 - 2 (two) years after the novel Things Fall Apart was published.

Abstract

In Bangkanese society, politeness is a crucial social component measured by how individuals treat one another in social situations. Here, being polite is understood to include having decent manners, which include saying hello, recognising, and thanking people. This study looks at the interactions between traders and tourists in Pantai Matras, taking its inspiration from the Bangka government, which places a strong emphasis on manners. The utilisation of openings and closings in 20 transactions that were retrieved over a week through attentive monitoring was the main focus of the study. The data were then transcribed. The Bangkanese concept of good manners, which includes greeting and thanks, and Brown and Levinson's (1987) idea of politeness in illocutionary acts were employed as a framework. According to our data, the traders in Pantai Matras used more semi-polite beginnings but more polite closings to wrap up their deals. A more thorough examination of the data shows that this politeness was frequently offered in reaction to the visitor's requests. Even though our results are not as significant as others, we think they will be helpful to researchers and practitioners because they show that professional communication skills must be taught and used when having transactions in Pantai Matras.
