Abstract

Bullying is a phenomenon that is commonly known in society. It usually refers to an act of someone hurting other people intentionally. The depiction of bullying includes unpleasant actions to someone. Bullying is present in the stories titled My Secret Bully (2005), Just Kidding (2006), and Trouble Talk (2008) by Trudy Ludwig which are the subject of this text analysis. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of acts of bullying in the stories along with meanings construed from it. Using the story scripts as its data source, this study is consequently qualitative, employing textual analysis to explore the data. The study uses Hall’s (1997) theory of representation and Foucault’s (1982) theoretical framework of power. Based on the analysis, the study finds that power is used by the bullies, the bullied, and adults for their own respective interests. The study reveals that children have the potential to bully and adults' role is essential in handling bullying. It is also implied that adults should play a more active role and should not underestimate children’s discourse. Therefore, this study signifies an awareness-raising on the bullying issue and that the notion of power play can be found in children’s discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzed the online media representation of Audrey’s bullying issue by identifying the appraisal devices used in reporting the case of Audrey in five news portals. The study aimed to reveal the reporting strategy by exploring the appraisal devices and identifying the potential representational meanings.  The data included five news related to Audrey’s Bullying in 2019, analyzed by grouping the clauses to mark engagement, attitude, and graduation used in language according to Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal System. The appraisal analysis shows that all of the five news portals dominantly used Engagement (Monogloss-Heterogloss) and Attitude (Judgement) to construct their news discourse. The five news portals also show a rather similar negative-reaction to the issue. However, the use of the appraisal devices of these five news portals varied in accordance with the context and the main focus of the news, contributing to the news’ representation which covers specific perspective, generalization, and victimization.

Abstract

Revenge is often manifested in aggressive attacks to seek justice. Many literary works, including films, have brought up this issue by emphasizing the cruelty of revenge. In this regard, this research intends to unfold another interpretation for revenge. It is presented by the vindictive character of the Film The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). In this film, Martin takes revenge on Steven implicitly. The analysis draws on the theory of revenge from McCullough (2008). As the theory highlights, taking revenge exposes desires for revenge. These desires are natural responses from the vindictive person who gets offended by the transgressor. For instance, Martin desires to confirm the crime done by Steven and wishes Steven to admit it. Martin then begins to transform his desire into several acts of revenge: (1) implicit intimidation, (2) intruding Steven’s private space, (3) casting ‘spell’, and (4) committing homicide. Further, Bordwell, Thompson, and Smith's (2017) cinematic features also manifest evidence for these implicit attacks. Therefore, the analysis shows that Martin retaliates to Steven in implicit aggression. Martin reveals his vengeance in the film through his reasons and the manifestation of acts for revenge.  Keywords: Film analysis, Revenge, The Killing of a Sacred Deer

Abstract

In this pandemic era, some people seek knowledge and entertainment in digital audio content such as podcasts to reduce staring at computer and cell phone screens. Along with the massive trend, podcast speakers use particular language styles to get robust conversation and a large number of podcast listeners. Therefore, this study aims to identify the interpersonal meaning of the Not Overthinking podcast, as one of today's most popular podcasts. The data include the transcript texts of the three most popular episodes of the Not Overthinking podcast: “Why do we like to be correct?”, “Why are we scared to put ourselves out there?” and “Why do we struggle with consistency?” collected from Spotify. This study adopted Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), focusing on the mood types and speech functions. This study found all the mood types and speech functions in the data. The dominant mood type is declarative, and the dominant speech function is statement. The finding of this study provides a clearer picture of podcast speakers who use statements more often to share knowledge and experience. In addition, the speakers also positioned themselves equal to the listeners.

Abstract

In a globalized world, food and foodways can act as vehicle for people to identify their belonging to certain communities or identities. For some people, their longing for certain times, places, or moments, is expressed through food narratives. Basing the analysis on Hall’s (1996) theory of cultural identity, the researcher applies Anita Mannur’s (2010) concept of culinary citizenship and Avtar Brah’s (1996) homing desire as theoretical frameworks, this research aims to reveal the functions and ways food and foodways shape the identities of the main characters of Leila S. Chudori’s (2015) Home. Narrations and dialogues involving food are examined to explore the relationship of an Indonesian political exile in Paris, Dimas Suryo, as well as his daughter, Lintang Utara and food in relation to their identity crises. Based on the analysis, it is found that food functions to claim their identities and as an emotional anchor in their process of constructing and re-constructing their identities as people coming from different generation of immigrants. These results suggest that food and foodways can accentuate the construction of identities of the main characters in the novel as people in diaspora.

Abstract

Move analysis is a genre-based approach used to analyze academic writing and investigate the rhetorical pattern of the text such as academic paper, abstracts, thesis, etc. However, the analysis of rhetorical moves in the abstracts of lecturers’ final papers in different disciplines remains unexplored. The aim of this study is to identify and compare the rhetorical moves, steps, and linguistic features of the abstract of lecturers from four different disciplines. The researchers focused on the abstract of master theses and dissertations from each discipline. This study analyzed eight abstracts from English lecturers for the soft science field, Mathematic and Architectural lecturers for the hard science field in Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The Five Move Analysis by Hyland (2004) is used as the framework of this study. The findings showed that Move 1 - Introduction was the most common move in hard science abstracts, while in soft science, it was Move 4 - Product. Moreover, the most occur step in both fields was Step 2 of Move 1 – Making topic generalization and Step 1 of Move 5 – Deducing conclusion. For linguistics features, both of the fields mostly used active voice. While for the tense, hard science tended to use present tense, but soft science inclined to use past tense. The findings show that each field has different tendencies yet similarities in writing abstracts to highlight the essential things on each abstract.

Abstract

The high use of social media platforms today and the status of English as an international language have driven many people across national borders to communicate using English. This study aims to explore the attitudes of a group of Indonesian youth in Bandung towards English in social media and to investigate the factors affecting their attitudes. The study adopts a qualitative approach and draws on Schiffman and Kanuk’s (2004) theory of attitude, which embraces the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. In addition, this study also uses Jendra’s (2010) theory on factors affecting language attitude. The results show that the majority of youth hold positive attitudes towards English in social media in each of the three aspects of attitude. The factors affecting their positive attitudes are the power and prestige of English and the social factor as the society at large has been accustomed to using English for global communication. This study implies the importance of English in the context of social media communication and raises people’s awareness of English for online international communication.

Abstract

Literature is often considered as a form of human expression and experiences. A topic regarding an individual’s experience through their life, including how they face the world around them can be found in a novel written by Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human (1948). Every individual has two sides of personality which can be referred as the Persona and the Shadow. This study focused on identifying and analysing the Persona and the Shadow of Yozo, the main character of No Longer Human. The study was conducted to answer the research questions of how the Persona and the Shadow are portrayed by the characterization of Oba Yozo from No Longer Human. Using Jung’s theory and structuralism, this study found that Yozo’s Persona and Shadow are two opposite personalities and they grow along with him throughout his childhood to adulthood. However, as he gets older, he goes through individuation crisis where the Shadow in him becomes stronger than his Persona. This study is hoped to give a new insight regarding how an individual has two sides of personality and also how an individual goes through individuation crisis. In addition, this study is expected to raise suicidal awareness which now becomes a growing concern in society.

Abstract

Every conversation made between two parties or more must have arisen from specific contextual matters. Effort has become the case in achieving the wanted contextual rationality from the carried-out conversation which is connected to people’s strong will in creating ways to overcome the problem. In many attempts, movies, as a visual communication tool, have been used many times as a depiction of how real-life conversations are performed. Hence, this study which uses a descriptive qualitative method aims to investigate the use of maxim violation, maxim opt out, the types of conversational implicature, and their meaning of occurrence in the Split (2016) movie. To analyze the data, Grice’s (1975) theory on Conversational Implicatures and Yule’s (1996) theory on Cooperation and Implicature were used as the main theoretical frameworks. The data were taken from the movie script downloaded from the Scripts.com website while the movie was downloaded from the streaming-service platform, YouTube Movies. This study discovered that the violation of the maxim of manner, opt out of the maxim of quantity and quality, and particularized conversational implicature to be the mostly used ones in the conversations of the Split movie’s characters. The high occurrence of those implicatures demonstrates its purpose which is to make meaning of the characterization of the characters as their personalities and intentions are revealed. In line with the psychological feature that the movie as the data has, the findings also participate in the idea of people’s capability in interpreting the characteristic of others to be easily done.

Abstract

Conflict is an inevitable event that always occurs in human life as well in literary works. Okky Madasari’s The Years of the Voiceless shows conflicts that happen to a mother and a daughter who need to fight for women’s rights in the male-dominated world in the post-colonial era in Indonesia. They live based on their faiths and beliefs that are different due to the generational gap. By using the perspective of New Criticism, this study aims to investigate the sources of the conflict between them, how the conflicts are resolved, and how do the conflicts affect their relationship as mother-daughter. The result found that the conflicts that affect the mother-daughter relationship originate from external and internal conflicts. The conflicts are resolved through changes in the daughter’s character. This study proves that the generational gap, society, and characters’ personalities are the main causes of conflict in the mother-daughter relationships.
