Abstract

This study entitled Woman Archetype Characters and Motifs in Three Indonesian Folk Tales has three aims: 1) to identify the description of woman archetypes in Indonesian folk tales in term of the characters and motifs employed in the tales; 2) to investigate the representation of woman archetype of Indonesian folk tales with references to European folk tales; and 3) to make meaning from the comparison between Indonesian folk tales and their European counterpart. The study employs qualitative study with the content analysis approach. The analysis of the study is framed within the theory of archetype characters in literature proposed by Jung (1961), and the theory of archetype motifs in folk literature by Thompson (1955-1958). The fact that Indonesian women are presented to be more assertive and independent than their European counterpart rejects the stereotyped view of Indonesian women as submissive and dependent women. Keywords: woman, archetype, character, motif, folk tale

Abstract

This study was aimed to discover the realization of refusal strategies by parents and children when refusing requests in a family domain. This study engaged a family including a father, a mother, and two children as the subject of the study. Observation was conducted by recording and noting some conversations in order to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed by applying a theory proposedby Aziz (2000). The theory was used to analyze the types of refusal strategies. The findings reveal that there are ten out of eleven strategies proposed by Aziz found in the family domain. Parents tend to use giving reason or explanation, showing hesitation and offering alternative strategy in their refusal statements whereas children mostly apply showing hesitation, giving reason or explanation, and postponements strategy. The result shows that power asymmetry in speaker-hearer relationship between parents-children and the hearers influence the selection of refusal strategies. The strategy of giving an explanation and reason is used by both parents and children frequently when refusing powerful hearers’ requests while hesitation strategy is applied when refusing the requests from equal power hearers. It is discovered that in terms of the nature of request, both parents and children have similar tendency to use giving reason and explanation strategy when refusing high imposition nature of request. Keywords: Refusal, Refusal Strategies, Requests, Speaker-Hearer Relationship, Nature of Request

Abstract

The research investigated variations of speech act realizations in The Jakarta Post readers’ forum.  The research focused on the speech acts found in The Jakarta Post readers’ forum and the variations made when a speech act was realized by using a speech acts theory proposed by Bach and Harnish (1979). Based on the theory, speech acts are classified into four major categories in which each category consists of subcategories in a system namely, a taxonomy of communicative illocutionary acts. The data were obtained from six pages of The Jakarta Post readers’ forum online edition under the heading of the topic about a lack of religious tolerance.  The data were analyzed by categorizing the kinds of speech acts and the variations of each category according to speech acts classification provided by the taxonomy. The research founds that the kinds of speech acts realized by the contributors to the readers’ forum were Constatives, Acknowledgments and Directives. Each of which was comprised of finer classes of speech act variations. The research concluded that the readers’ forum has been used to serve several functions in accommodating its contributors’ beliefs, feelings and desires. The contributors provided many reasons in form of beliefs to encourage a reasonableness of the blaming/complaint/critique or even an urgency of the order/asking/advice.Keywords: Speech acts, Speech acts schema, Taxonomy of communicative illocutionary acts

The main data of the study were retrieved from www.rcti.tv on 26th April, 2010 which contained the opening-part of an interview script between an Indonesian Journalist and the President of the Unites States. Using the PMC framework, the study found that there is balanced-order in observing PMC’s sub-principles. This is due to the fact that both the interviewer and the interviewee had the intention to favour one another. This was realized in their complete observance of four PMC’s sub-principles. The study concluded that the observance of PMC together with its three levels of politeness is mainly motivated to balance and create harmony.Keywords: Principle of Mutual Consideration (PMC), Three Levels of Politeness

Abstract

The study is entitled "The Use of Slang Words among Junior High School Students in Everyday Conversation." It aims to investigate slang words used by the ninth grade students. This study also investigates the morphological processes involved in slang words and the reasons why the students use them in their everyday talk. The collected data from questionnaires and interviews were categorized into the types of slang words and analyzed in terms of their morphological processes by using a method of analysis based on theories as proposed by Yule (1985), Potter (1975), O'Grady and Guzman (1996), and Gerber (1968). These data were calculated in terms of frequency presented in tables and charts. The findings show that there are eleven groups of morphological processes in this study. Coinage is the most frequently used with 30.56%, followed by blending with 20.14% and borrowing with 13.19% words. Furthermore, there are some reasons influencing appearances of slang words, namely students want to say something in an easy way, show their anger, make other people confused, and want to have fun and laugh. Thus, future researchers are recommended to conduct studies on different slang users in different settings because slang changes and increases through time.Keywords: slang words, morphological processes, coinage, blending, borrowing.

Abstract

This research paper entitled “American Idiot”: Examining Readers’ Subject Position in One of Green Day’s Music Albums is aimed at investigating the ways by which the sixth album of Green Day, American Idiot (2004), ideologically positioned the implied readers in opposite to the USA political agenda. A qualitative descriptive study is employed in this present study. In analyzing the album, which consists of 13 songs, three theoretical frameworks are used: ideological analysis by John Lye (1997), context framework by Adrian Beard (2001), and John Stephens’ (1992) narrative transactions—where he locates the implied readers as the ideological function of a text. By having those frameworks within the analysis, the study discovers five socio-cultural issues, recognized as an attempt to position the implied readers in opposite the US political agenda in Bush administration. These assumptions within the issues known as a subject position are ideologically offered to the readers or the implied readers through narrative aspects; point of view and narrator. Keywords: implied author, implied reader, subject position, ideology, narrative.
