Abstract

This study aims at investigating the types of ideational metaphor used in scientific texts and analyzing its implications on grammatical intricacy (GI) and lexical density (LD). The data are limited to the scientific articles published on International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research (IJSTR) Volume 10 - Issue 5, May 2021 Edition. This journal aims to promote the theory and practice of sciences, technology, innovation, engineering and management. A qualitative descriptive methodology is applied to this study. In analyzing the data, there are two grand theories used; Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (1985) to analyze the ideational metaphors and LD & GI formula proposed by Gerot, Linda, and Wignel (1995). An electronic based is also applied to count number of words and clauses containing in the discourse chosen which can be downloaded from http://www.usingenglish.com/resources/. This study found that ideational metaphor impacted on lexical density by showing the dense information conveyed through nominalization and condensed complex clauses. The lexical density found from the data (three representative articles) is  36.75, 49.48 and 40.51. Ideational  metaphor also impacted on the grammatical intricacy shown from the lower rate which is 1.29,1.31, and 1,24. Ideational metaphors characteristic are shown in the nominalization formed from the condensation of subordinate clauses into phrases, the change of process to noun dominated by relational process to goals or agent. This study is expected to be beneficial to lecturers and writers to consider applying ideational metaphors in their academic writing and to English teachers and lecturers to (re)consider the LD and GI of textbooks readibility for students. Keywords:  Ideational Metaphor, SFL, Scientific Text, Lexical Density, Grammatical Intricacy

Abstract

Human’s head takes the most important part in human’s part of body which leads to the frequent use of  head in language uses. This study therefore aims to investigate how head is conceptualized through the use of metaphor in Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and how the conceptual metaphors are projected through image schemas. The data were obtained  from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a rich data sources relevant to the study. This study applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT)  proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (2008). Sentences which contain head metaphors were selected, analyzed, and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process and image schemas.  The findings of the study showed that head is mostly metaphorically used as a container which is conceptualized as a head is a container.The most image schemas used are containment schemas which show in-out,  full-empty,  and surface schemas. The image-schemas have indeed been shown to likely become the basis of numerous metaphorical constructions and have been helpful to understand how people cognize their world.

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating how media depict corona virus through the use of metaphors in the headines and conceptualizing the metaphor by the use of mappings. The data were gained from the headlines of two English online media in Indonesia, The Jakartapost and Kompas.id published from March to May, 2020. The data analyses applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson. The data were first selected from the headlines which were then analyzed and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to understand and to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process. The study found that the most used of conceptual metaphors of corona virus is CORONA VIRUS IS A WAR. Despite its controversial issue as to blow up people

Abstract

The word formation is largely influenced by derivational affixes. These affixes however have certain level orderings called stratum ordering that lead to the formation of new words hierarchically. The study focuses on the investigation of the possible stratum ordering of derivational morphemes in scientific texts and the analysis of how these stratums form polysyllables derivational words. Qualitative research methodology is applied to this study. The data source of this study was taken from http://ijiemjournal.uns.ac.rs/v11/v11-01.html. This journal concerns Industrial Engineering and Management. The intended data are randomly taken from five journals published on Volume 11 | Issue 1 | March 2020 limited to polysyllables of scientific terms. The data were analyzed using the theory of Francis Katamba proposing that the central to lexical morphology is organized in a series of hierarchical strata and also Spencer (1991) supported by Plag and Baayen (2008). This paper concludes in general that the addition of derivational affixes to scientific terms is hierarchically structured based on the theory, such as the placement of strata 1 affixes closer to the root word, the neutrality of stress placement of strata 2 suffixes, and non-netrality of strata 1 suffixes. However, it is also found some inconsistencies in the placement of derivational suffixes in which the second strata are placed closer to the root. This happens when suffix -able is combined with -ity in availability (adjective to noun) or when suffix -ize is combined with -ion to form verb to noun in parameterization. The most formations found is the use of suffixes -ion, -ity for nouns, -ize for verbs, -ive and -able for adjectives.
