Abstract

This study investigated discourse markers that occurred in the science debate by TJump and Nathan Thompson. This research aimed to determine the types of discourse markers that TJump and Nathan Thompson used and described their functions. The researcher used a descriptive-qualitative approach to answer research questions by using Schiffrin's theory (1987). The data was taken from utterances containing discourse markers from TJump and Nathan Thompson's debate that discusses globe vs. flat Earth. This research reveals that there were six types of discourse markers and 11 discourse markers, which have different functions, such as a marker of information management (oh); a marker of response (well); discourse connectives (and, but, or); markers of cause and result (so, because); markers of temporal adverbs (now, then); markers of information and participation (I know, I mean). The function of those discourse markers are a marker of information management to attract attention, a marker of response to create coherence, discourse connectives to connect more units, to mark contrasting units as option markers, a marker of cause and result as a complement, and subordinate ideas, markers of temporal adverbs are to show the relationship between time, markers of information and participation are as the transition of information state and indicate the speaker's orientation. The next researcher can use another theory to analyze discourse markers, especially discourse markers as fillers. This study focused only on the types and functions of discourse markers; the researcher can connect discourse markers to speech acts and use different theories.

Abstract

This study delved into the cultural identity of American Indians residing in the Spokane reservation area, with a focus on Sherman Alexie's collection of stories, "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven." The stories portrayed various aspects of the divide between American Indians and white people, as well as the distinctions between reservation-based Indians, urban Indians, modern Indians, and traditional Indians. The main objective of the research was to explore how the identity of American Indians is depicted in Alexie's book using Homi K Bhabha's cultural identity theories of hybridity and mimicry. This study employed the literary criticism method, particularly postcolonial studies, to analyze the representation of hybridity and mimicry. The primary data source for this investigation was the collection of short stories, "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven," by Sherman Alexie. The data was gathered from the text, identifying words or sentences that illustrate the representation of hybridity and mimicry in the stories. The data collection techniques include reading and note-taking strategies. This study revealed two main aspects of Indian cultural identity: Hybridity, characterized by a blend of Indian and white culture, evident in language, behavior, ways of thinking, and lifestyles. Then Mimicry, seen in Indian behavior, lifestyle, and ways of thinking that resemble those of white people. In conclusion, the research highlighted how Indian cultural identity in Sherman Alexie's work reflects both hybridity and mimicry, shedding light on the complexities of cultural assimilation and adaptation in American Indian communities.

Abstract

Violence still often occurs both in the school environment and outside the school. Women have always been the victims of violence perpetrated by men because women are considered inferior beings. Jay Asher's novel Thirteen Reasons Why (2017) tells about thirteen reasons why Hannah Baker committed suicide, which were told in a recording. The researcher aimed to analyze the violence that Hannah Baker suffered in this study and the way she was affected by the violent acts using the theory of violence developed by Galtung (1990). The main data were obtained from Jay Asher's novel entitled Thirteen Reasons Why in the form of words, phrases, and sentences. After the data had been collected, the researcher started to classify them. The results revealed that Hannah experienced psychological, physical, and sexual violence. She was also treated very badly by people in her surroundings; one of whom even raped her. Thus, in the end she committed suicide because she could not bear the pressure in her life. The readers should comprehend the risks of teen stress and violence by examining the main topic and data, as experienced by Hannah Baker. For future studies, the researcher's suggestion was to use other viewpoints from the book and other theories of violence.

Abstract

This study employed semiotics to establish connections among the elements utilized in advertising. The focus of the research was analyzing Joker poster advertisements using semiotic studies based on Pierce's theory. Pierce's Theory was employed to identify and categorize various types of signs, as well as analyze and describe their meanings. The objective of this study was to identify semiotic signs present in Joker Poster advertisements and interpret their meanings. The research design was descriptive and qualitative, involving document analysis. Each sign within the poster advertisements was identified and classified into three types: index, icon, and symbol. The meaning of each sign was then analyzed and explained using a triadic process model. The findings revealed that the advertisements contained semiotic signs in the form of symbols, icons, and indexes. There were 14 icons, 12 indexes, and 42 symbols identified. Symbols were more commonly used compared to indexes and icons, with text often serving as a symbol in the Joker posters. Additionally, the researcher observed that posters (icons) played a crucial role in providing initial direction to the meaning, followed by the language used in the advertisements.

Abstract

This study investigates the child abuse suffered by the protagonist, Saul, in Richard Wagamese's novel "Indian Horse." The study explores the different forms of abuse Saul faced and examines how these experiences influenced his life, as portrayed in the novel. This study adopts literary criticism and employs a psychological approach and McCabe and Murphy's theory of child abuse. The data used in this study consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from Richard Wagamese's novel "Indian Horse," published by Douglas & McIntyre in 2012. The findings reveal that while residing in St. Jerome, Saul suffered abuse from both his teacher and caregiver. The forms of abuse encompass physical, emotional, sexual, and neglectful mistreatment. Physical abuse involved the act of rough objects being scratched against Saul's body. Emotional abuse included instances of rejection, terrorization, and isolation. Additionally, Saul endured sexual abuse from his teacher. Neglect also played a part, encompassing physical, educational, and emotional neglect. The significant impact of these childhood traumas on Saul's adult life is evident in the results. Saul's coping mechanisms led to alcoholism and aggressive behavior. He withdrew from his surroundings, experiencing profound trauma, depression, and low self-esteem due to the abuse he suffered during his formative years.

Abstract

The concept of identity theory highlights that individuals may possess multiple identities, elucidated through prominence hierarchy and salience hierarchy. This thesis aimed to explore the prominence hierarchy and its effects on Furo Wariboko, the central character in A. Igoni Barrett's Blackass Novel. The study felt under the realm of literary criticism, as the researcher analyzed and interpreted the literary work. Employing a sociological approach to the analysis, the study focused on the sociological aspects portrayed in the novel. Additionally, the analysis incorporated the interactional emphasis of identity theory as proposed by George McCall and J.L Simmons. Data for the research were drawn from A. Igoni Barrett's Blackass novel in the form of words, phrases, and utterances. The researcher gathered the data by identifying and categorizing relevant citations from the novel. Subsequently, the data were analyzed by describing and explaining the quotations based on the interactional emphasis of identity theory. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the prominent hierarchy significantly influences Furo's decision to alter his identity from his original "Furo Wariboko" to a new identity as "Frank Whyte." Then, Furo's choice of prominence hierarchy as "Frank Whyte" has noteworthy implications for him in various aspects, including social, economic, and psychological dimensions.

Abstract

World War II occurred in Germany between 1933 and 1945, under the rule of Hitler and the Nazis, pitting Germany against the Allies. Propaganda played a significant role in their efforts to secure victory. Propaganda was employed to manipulate the perceptions and positions of various groups to align with the Nazis' agenda. This study focused on the forms of propaganda used by the Nazis against Non-Aryan groups, including Gypsies, Slavs, Jews, and Polish. It also explored how German society responded to this propaganda during the period of 1933-1945, as depicted in Jessica Shattuck's novel "The Women in the Castle." The research applied historical criticism, using the gray and black propaganda theories proposed by Seabury and Codevilla (1990). Additionally, the theories of gray and black propaganda by Garth S. Jowett & Victoria O'Donnell (2005) were used to support the research findings. The study felt under the category of literary criticism, gathering data from quotes, conversations, and narratives found in the novel "The Women in the Castle," published in 2017 by William Morrow. The research yielded three main results: First, it identified seven instances of gray propaganda and three instances of black propaganda. Second, it uncovered nine positive and seven negative responses to Nazi propaganda targeting Non-Aryan groups. Finally, the novel "The Women in the Castle" effectively reflected the actual socio-political conditions of Germany from 1933-1945, spanning from Hitler's rise to power as chancellor to World War II and the Holocaust, which involved various propaganda efforts to garner support from the populace. However, there were also those who resisted and acted as opposition.

Abstract

Postcolonial identities appeared as the effect of colonialism on Western countries to third-world countries as the colonizer commonly shared its culture, language, and beliefs to the colonialized land. Thus, after colonization, those values were still reflected in the colonialized countries. The study aimed to analyze the postcolonial identities of the main characters in Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North using the theory proposed by Bhabha (1994), which covered mimicry, ambivalence, and hybridity along with the concept of identity proposed by Castel (1997). This study used literary criticism theory in which the researcher conducted interpretation and analyzed the literary work. The data source of this study was a novel written by Tayeb Salih entitled Season of Migration to the North, published by Penguin Books UK. The data were collected by reading, analyzing, and highlighting the data related to postcolonial identities. Then, the researcher examined the data by analyzing the data using the relevant theories. The results of the study showed that there were three kinds of postcolonial identities in the novel, they were mimicry, ambivalence, and hybridity. Furthermore, there were two reasons which affected the main characters' identities, namely history and geography (time and place). Finally, future researchers are suggested to analyze the same novel using feminist theory, considering that the novel contained the element of feminism.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the social action types of Tsukuru Tazaki in the novel Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami according to Weber’s social action theory (1978). Precisely, the object of the study was Tsukuru Tazaki's life and activities. The study's object was analyzed using the sociology of literature approach, which focused on literary works. This study used the literary criticism method. The researcher read, wrote, and identified the data in the form of content quotations provided through conversations and quotations that described the social action types. The results of the study revealed four types of social action. The first type was instrumentally rational action, which could be seen in Tsukuru’s way of maintaining harmonious relationships through community activities. The second type of social action was value-rational action, where Tsukuru used relationship values and the value of manners to keep his connection with his friends and other people. The third type was effective action when Tsukuru was encouraged by his emotional feelings to interact with others, such as jealousy, anxiety, fear, and love. The fourth type of social action was traditional action. The results of the type of social action showed that Tsukuru used his habituation to prepare himself for facing society and keeping in touch with his friends and family. In addition, the result also showed that value-rational action played a significant role in how Tsukuru's achieved his life goal, which was keeping his relationship with his closest people.

Abstract

Grice's maxim of conversation becomes the main condition for a complete and ideal conversation. Spontaneous conversational humor is used in communicating with others, in light conversations with relatives, and in a broader public space, such as television shows and radio broadcasts. This linguistic phenomenon is often used as a speaker strategy in criticizing an action of an individual that is distorted but narrated in the form of humor that invites the audience's laughter. The researcher analysed Hasan Minhaj’s and his audience's spontaneous conversational humor in this study. Methodologically, the researcher adopted Grice's pragmatics study on the Theory of Cooperative Principle (1975), which aimed to make conversations cooperative. The researcher collected the data from Hasan Minhaj and his audience's utterances from September 2, 2019, to November 11, 2019. 21 data in the form of spoken transcripts containing spontaneous conversational humor, analysed by Martin's theory of spontaneous humor categorization (2007), which also contained non-observances (floating) based on the principle of conversation proposed by Grice (1975). The results showed that Hasan Minhaj deliberately and spontaneously expressed humorous conversations on his TV show "Patriot Act", which flouted the cooperative principle in conversation (Grice, 1975). The spontaneous conversational humor outlined by Hasan Minhaj in a broad outline showed that it aimed to criticize and comment on government policies that had violated the rights of the citizens. This study significantly contributed to expanding spontaneous conversational humor studies in linguistics.
