Abstract

This research is based on the fact that mistake may occur in human interaction. To minimize its effect, the interlocutor needs to apologize to his/her counterparts. This research focuses on the apology strategies, namely the ways of expressing apologies and the social functions of the apologies in “The Proposal” movie. Descriptive research is applied to investigate the phenomenon of apology. The data were verbal and nonverbal apology expressions taken from the English transcript of the movie. The researcher found 32 data containing apology expressed by the characters. An expression of regret comes as the dominant strategy, direct apologies are expressed more than the indirect ones and assuaging the addressee's wrath is the most dominant function of the apologies. Even though making mistakes or offence is unavoidable in human communication, by expressing an apology, the speaker will be able to minimize its effect, solve the problem, and restore the threatened relationship.

Abstract

English, like other languages, owns distinctive varieties that enrich the language itself. Dialect is one of the interesting topics which grabs linguists' attention to analyze. This paper analyzes one of the English dialect, called West Country, in a novel entitled Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Hagrid, a gatekeeper of Hogwarts School uses unique utterances that differ from other characters' utterances in the novel. The writer employed descriptive research since the analysis is about discussing, analyzing, and finding the dialect patterns. The data of this study are taken from one of the novels in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. The three important features which were found in the dialect varied in terms of the phonology features, the grammatical pattern, and the vocabulary variation. This study shows that Rowling attributes the dialect to Hagrid for a reason that people from West Country are very simple and humble.

Using descriptive qualitative approach, the writer attempted to analyze the language productivity problems and the possible therapy given to solve the problems. The results show that King George VI has several speech disorder such as disfluency, articulation disorder and muteness. But, with some treatments, such as, muscle strengthening exercises, breathing strengthening exercises and phonetics therapy, he finally could reduce and overcome his speech disorder much better than the one he had beforehand.

Abstract

The present paper aims at describing linguistic features of two women who have two different characteristics ” feminine and less feminine” as apparent in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Lover dramas. Using Robin Lakoff's (1975) women's linguistic features, the research found out that not all features occur in the dialogues of the two female characters with other characters. Nine features were applied by Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf drama and seven features were used by Sarah in The Lover. Based on the analysis of the data, it is uncovered that the use of the women's linguistic features reflects uncertainty and lacking confidence on the part of the women in their conversation.

Abstract

This paper discusses an English teacher's display and referential questions in teaching speaking at MAN 3 MALANG. It investigated the ways teacher employed display and referential questions, students' responses, and the ways the questions maintained communication in the classroom. The observations in several meetings were applied and were confirmed by the instructional objectives stated in lesson plans and syllabus. It was found that the teacher mostly employed referential questions rather than display questions in teaching speaking. The employment of display questions was put in the beginning of the lesson and was functioned as ice breaker or warmer. Through display and referential questions, the communication in teaching speaking was maintained. It suggests that the teacher applies questioning strategies in employing referential questions so that the communication in the classroom is well-maintained.
