Abstract

This research studied the concept of self-identity of the main character in A Report to an Academy and Pistol Perdamaian. This research also described the social relations between the main character and the otherness. The method used is qualitative and library research is the main technique of the research. The analysis is based on the theory of literary reception and the sociology of literature. The results showed that, in A Report to an Academy, the main character relies on the ratio to solve his problem, whereas, in Pistol Perdamaian, the ratio of the main character is defeated by the metaphysical irrationality associated with the belief system adopted. Thus, these two short stories also illustrated how the environment and the socio-cultural life influence the reaction of both main characters in understanding their existence among other beings.

Abstract

This study questions how the narrative voice of Henry James’s The Aspern Papers shapes the reader's understanding of the narrator’s motives concerning Juliana’s letters received from Jeffrey Aspern. This is qualitative analytical research in which ‘unreliable narrator’ theory was used to analyze and discuss the data from primary and secondary resources. This paper also links Booth’s idea to Schneider’s critics about unreliable narrator theory. Although The Aspern Papers’ narrator is unreliable due to his unpredictable and unstable actions, the researcher argues that The Aspern Papers’ narrator who also becomes the main character of the story wants to possess Juliana’s letters for his benefits. Should he get the letters, he would be able to “sell” Aspern’s life to the public, and thus he could get financial profit or personal profit for his career as a journalist, a writer, or a publisher.

Abstract

 This study attempts to analyze the illocutionary act of Jacinda Ardern speech by using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The data of this study is a video transcript of Jacinda Ardern’s speech on policies regarding Covid-19 which she delivered on Mar 22, 2020. The data analysis of the study is a descriptive study using Fairclough’s theory of discourse analysis. The result shows that it is known that the types of speech used in Ardern’s speech are representative and commissive illocutionary speech. From the point of view of Fairclough’s discourse analysis, Ardern’s utterances tend to use language that is straightforward, concise and easy to understand. Her utterances do not use figurative language that might be used to disguise the real language of the situation at hand. The language used by Ardern tends to be straightforward and reveal facts that occur in the field and provide sufficient explanation for the consequences that will occur in the future. However, on the other hand, she can choose good words so that people’s worries do not get bigger. She can also control and reduce public concern by giving a statement about the actions that the government will take to tackle the coronavirus.

Abstract

The current research has adopted a qualitative approach to investigate the linguistic differences of Pakistani Standard English in contrast to British Standard English. We studied morphological, lexical, and hybrid characteristics of Pakistani Standard English. Besides, we investigated the linguistic features to prove the fact that cultural context determines the use of a language. Moreover, the findings of this research also support the fact that a language keeps evolving in different contexts leading to the development of different varieties of the language. However, the researchers have studied comparatively many varieties of Englishes, but this research investigates the distinguishing features of Pakistani Standard English employing secondary data from Dawn e-newspaper. Additionally, the researchers have also qualitatively codified the data into broader themes. The findings of this research will help readers in understanding the role of a cultural context in developing a new variety of a language. Consequently, they will be able to carry out further research in the field of World Englishes. Hence, this research is a systematic investigation of Pakistani Standard English and its differentiating features.

Abstract

Reading is therapeutic. This statement reflects reading as a technique to heal people’s mental problems and increase self-ability. Researches prove that reading is not only for entertainment, but also a tool to solve problem in people’s life. Meanwhile, the question comes up in the term of what kind of book suggested to read. In Luis Sepulveda’s The Old Man Who Read Love Stories, it is implied that reading fiction helps the old man, Antonio, to deal with his old age and loneliness. Reading a love story enlightens the old man’s mind and feelings. Life is overloaded by complex problems, such as war, poverty, gender problem, and nature destruction. People become sentimental to life; there is no happy ending story in life, only death. Meanwhile, Sepulveda sees fiction as the rescuer for a problematic life. This paper will discuss why people read fiction and the effects of reading fiction for someone’s life. The positive impacts of reading fiction for mental health and self-transformation are supposed to encourage people to start a new habit of reading for a better life.

Abstract

The main problem faced by EFL students in writing English texts includes the difficulties to produce a cohesive and coherent text that it seems necessary to show how the tools of Theme and Rheme can be used to help construct the students' good English writing. This study aimed to find out the types of thematic progression patterns in each clause of the recount texts written by students and the dominant pattern of thematic progression revealed from the texts. The research design of this study is a qualitative method which employed the study instrument of the students' recount texts at class IX of SMAN 2 Langsa, Aceh. A content analysis approach by using a Theme and Rheme framework generated from a theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) was used to analyze the thematic progression patterns on the students' recount texts, which included several steps: reading the student's texts, identifying the theme and rheme of every clause of the student's text, describing the thematic progression patterns of student's text and drawing the thematic progression pattern on student's text. The findings of the analysis indicated that there are three (3) thematic progression patterns found on the students' recount texts: the Theme Constant, the Theme Zig Zag Linear pattern and Theme Multiple patterns. The dominant type of thematic progression patterns constructed by the students into their recount texts was revealed mostly on 123 constant or reiteration patterns (76.8%), followed by zig-zag patterns of 35 times (21.8%)  and 9 times (1.25%) of multiple patterns. The results of this study will be facilitative as the tools for English language teaching and learning classrooms particularly for writing English texts.
