Abstract

This research looks at how Muslim women negotiate their identities with their families or the society in relation to their agnostic ideology. The study was done by examining the article published on the Magdalene.co website. Sara Mills' feminist stylistics analysis approaches will be used to do text analysis. This research uses paradigm critical constructionism and use qualitative approach. The method used is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) from Sara Mills. This study shows that keeping one's identity secret is a conservative family circle strategy when negotiating one's identity (as an agnostic). To achieve integration between the author and his family, however, conflict is needed. Additionally, this research demonstrates that the author has yet to arrive at a conclusive identity negotiation solution. The author's family has not yet accepted and accepted his status as a writer. This research illustrates that Magdalene.co, as a medium that promotes feminism, may serve as a comfortable place for the public at large, especially women, to voice their views.

Abstract

The current study aims to analyze the stylistic devices and describe their realization in constructing the theme and meaning in Douglas Malloch’s “Be the Best of Whatever You Are” poem. This descriptive qualitative study applied critical content analysis as an approach. Leech & Short’s (2007) stylistic theory was adopted as an analytical tool to examine the levels of language (style) in the poem. Based on the findings, there are 67 items found in the phonological level, 60 items found in the graphological level, 7 items found in the morphological level, 151 items found in the lexical levels, 30 items found in the syntax level, and lastly, there are 13 items found in the semantic level. The stylistic realization has revealed that Malloch uses varied linguistic elements in constructing the theme of this particular poem. Importantly, Malloch, through this poem, conveys a message of hope and motivation for people of all ages to always remember that a complex reality and negative aspects in life can be juxtaposed with the positive ones such as being the best version of ourselves and share it to the world.
