Abstract

As our curiosity has led us to wonder why Thai children's literature with a simple plot, like Jane Vejjajiva's The Happiness of Kati, could actually captivate readers all over the world. By analysing the figurative language in the book, with an emphasis on similes as the scope, we would then try to demonstrate the hypothesis that the writer's story and her writing style have a significant relationship. According to the study's objectives, a list of all the similes used in the novel would be included in the study's findings, along with a list of the most frequently used similes based on the meaning analysis classification and the precise meanings behind them. These sought to establish the connection between the story and the author's writing style. Analysing descriptive data was used in the research. The process of gathering the data implies locating the similes that frequently appear in phrases and sentences and using the conjunctions "like" or "as." Both Richard's (1936) and Fromilhague's (1995) theories—simile analysis and simile meaning analysis—were applied in data analysis. The examined data were reviewed in order to determine the relationship between the story and the writer's writing style. The study found that there are 78 similes in the novel. 63 explicit and 25 implicit similes, or 68% and 32%, respectively, were discovered through meaning analysis. The author's writing style in her novel greatly enhances the plot that she develops in a variety of ways.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate how different mother tongues (Pattani Malay, Thai, Arabic) affect students’ capability in pronouncing English words by selecting a case study from 30 samples of Fatoni university students in English for communication course. Besides, examining the percentage of students’ accuracy in pronouncing with their substituted phonemes in English initial, medial and final consonants. Also, discovering the other factors probably affect their English pronunciation. The research instruments used document analysis, a questionnaire, and pronunciation testing of 20 difficult English words which were selected from the previous studies of difficult or disappearing phonemes in all 3 mother-tongue groups compared to phonemes in English. The findings show that different mother tongues (Pattani Malay, Thai, and Arabic) have distinct effects on their pronunciation. There are different percentages of students who could accurately pronounce initial, medial, and final consonants in English in each group with various substituted phonemes that they automatically chose from the closest equivalences in their language. Furthermore, other factors such as bilingualism, studying abroad, and previously enrolling in an English phonetic course are likely to have a positive or negative impact on their English pronunciation, according to the research.
