Abstract

This study aims at identifying the evidences of gender-biased behaviour and actions and at finding the possible reasons why those gender-biased behaviour and actions happen within the life of the rural community as depicted in the novel. The problems, therefore, are formulated as follows: 1). What are the evidences of gender-biased behaviour and actions experienced by the major female characters of HosSing to the Dawn?and 2). Why do the gender-biased behaviour and actionsoccur within the life of the rural communityas in HosSing to the Dawn? This study is a library research. The primary source is the novel itself, Sing to the Dawn. The secondary sources are obtained from several relevant books related to literary theories such as the critical approach, the theory of gender, the theory of society, and the review of Thai society. In order to relate the gender bias and a certain community, the socio-cultural approach is used to examine the novel. This study found that gender biased behaviour and actions committed by the male characters towards the major female characters manifest in several manners; they are subordination of women, mental violence, violent intention, physical violence, sex role stereotyping, and marginalization. The possible reasons enabling the manifestation of gender biased behaviour and actions committed by the male characters towards the major female characters are cultural construction on women subordination, cultural construction on sex roles stereotyping as the result of patriarchal system, religious misinterpretation, and poverty.

Abstract

Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness unveils a story about a journey to the inner self to find the mysteries of human mind. The way the writer presents his story is very intriguing in that he makes of use of many foreshadows and symbols. This paper  attempts to examine the foreshadows and symbols which Conrad uses in this novella;however, the discussion is limited to the ones that appear in The Brussels CompanysMain Office.

Abstract

A good translation should be parallel with the source text both in form andin meaning. Yet, because of the uniqueness of each language, parallel in form is oftendifficult to achieve. This paper attempts to analyze the translation of Sean CoveysThe 7th Habits of Highly Effective Teens in terms of a sociolinguistic point of view anddifferent types of equivalence. The analysis and discussion are based on some casesthat I found. Based on the examples, two conclusions can be drawn. First, from thesociolinguistic point of view, the use of SAYA instead of AKU to refer to the authorcreates more distance with the readers. Second, the translator seems to have workedhard to produce a dynamic equivalence of the source text, but in some cases theidiomatic expressions are not well translated. Thus, the results of the translation donot sound as idiomatic as the source text.

Abstract

Subject-verb agreement is an essential element to master by English LanguageEducation Study Program (ELESP) students, who are prepared to be English teachersin the future. However, the researchers still find the fact that ELESP students makethe errors on the agreement. For that reason, it would be significant to find out theerrors made by the students as well as to discover the factors behind the errors.To achieve those purposes, the researchers conducted a document analysis and asemi-structure interview.The research results showed most of the errors belongedto misinformation category (71.4%) and were subsequently followed by omissioncategory (17.9%) and addition category (10.7%). In addition, from the interview,the researchers also found five (5) major factors that caused the students to makethe errors, namely interlingual error, ignorance of rule restrictions, incompleteapplication of rules, false concepts hypothesized, and carelessness.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2012.150204

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of voicing of a preceding and following plosive on the Voice Onset Time (VOT) and vowel duration. The data consist of words with CVC segments, with the four groups of samples that represent both voiced and voiceless plosives, both for the ones following and preceding the vowels. The preliminary hypothesis is that voicing of following plosives affects the length of the vowels, indicated by the vowel duration, and VOT is affected by the voicing of thepreceding plosives, not the following plosives. To compare the effects of voicing on the lengths of the vowel duration and VOT, the sound files are analyzed using the Praat program. The results of this study show that the voicing of the following plosives affects the vowel duration, while the voicing of the preceding plosives does not affect the vowel duration. The results also show that it is the voicing of the C1 plosives that affect the VOT. The word-ending plosives do not affect the VOT of the preceding plosives.This study is on English vowel duration and VOT affected by the following and preceding stops. A further study can be done to compare the results of the effects with another language.
