Abstract

This study aimed to describe the meaning of directive illocutionary speech acts in two Japanese movies entitled Peach Girl and Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai. The directive illocutionary act is the most frequently used speech act in everyday life. In Japanese language, the meanings of these speech acts are often misinterpreted by Japanese language learners, so that the meanings of the speeches are not conveyed properly. In the movies Peach Girl and Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai, the characters use a lot of directive illocutionary speech acts. Therefore, it is worth to conduct a deeper study regarding the meaning of those directive speech acts. This research used speech act theory proposed by Searle (1979) and applied descriptive-qualitative method. The results show that there are 10 meanings of directive illocutionary speech acts with their own structural characteristics, namely command (used in polite language form) order (with V~te form), beg (with the word onegai), request (with V~te form), invitation (with invitation form V~ou), deny (with ~nai form), advise (with V~nda form), prohibition (with V~nai form), warn (with V~te form and particle ~ne), and ask (with keigo form).

Abstract

This paper explores the representation of orientalism negotiation in a novel entitled Eleanor and Park, written by Rainbow Rowell. This study utilized a descriptive-qualitative method to analyze the story by applying the representation theory proposed by Stuart Hall, especially the constructive approach suggested by Foucault. It focuses on the construction of meaning through language related to the depiction of oriental characters and how they struggle and respond to the treatments they receive from white people. Operating the concepts of orientalism from Edward Said and the discursive approach proposed by Foucault, this study explores the ideological position of the writer as  well. From this study, it is found that as an American white writer, Rowell shows the negotiation of the orientalism concept. Presenting the white characters with oriental characteristics and non-white characters with accidental qualities, Rowell exemplifies the strategic way to create racial harmony.  However, the efforts to create characterizations as forms of negotiation against orientalism have reached a dead end because the readers are more impressed by the honored class, which consists of mostly white students, who are able to subvert the negotiations on orientalism made by the author.

Abstract

Noun phrases, in either language in general or English in particular, are one of the pivotal topics in formal linguistics. This paper aimed to contrast the similarities and differences of the patterns of ideational structure and syntactic functions of noun phrases in two different text genres. It employed systemic functional linguistic approach using both Ideational structure analysis and syntactical analysis of noun phrases in narrative texts and news articles. The findings of this study show that noun phrases in narrative texts tend to be shorter and simpler, especially as they occupy the subject and object functions. The forms of pre-modifiers used also tend to be simpler (ranging from the use of one or two pre-modifiers only).  The same case occurs in post-modifier forms as well. In contrast, news articles tend to use complex phrase structures (two or even three pre-modifiers at once) which are coupled with other complex information in the post-modifiers. Appositives appear several times as post-modifiers to complete the information in the noun phrases. In conclusion, these differences prove that the determinism of writing style in each genre has a significant share in determining the pattern complexity of the noun phrase structures therein.

Abstract

Oral presentation apprehension plagues people when they communicate orally, especially when they make oral presentations in public.  This study examined the relationship between English proficiency, public speaking experience, and communication apprehension in polytechnic students during oral presentations.  The study involved 62 students from a polytechnic in Sarawak, Malaysia, who filled in the PRCA-24 questionnaire that focused on the elements of public speaking.  The results showed that 6.4% of the students had a low level of communication apprehension, while 71% had a moderate level of communication apprehension.  For 22.6% of the students, the level of apprehension was very high.  The students felt anxious and uncomfortable when asked to give an oral presentation.  The t-test showed that the male students significantly differed from the female students regarding their communication apprehension.  The mean scores showed that the male students experienced greater communication apprehension (M= 2.19 ± 0.52) than the female students (M= 2.00 ± 0.44).  There was a significant negative relationship between oral presentation experience and the level of communication apprehension.  These results may suggest that extensive training in public speaking can improve public speaking skills and enhance employability opportunities.

Abstract

Tip of the Tongue (ToT) is a condition that hinders the production of fluency in speech. This study aims to identify stress patterns and factors that influence the emergence of ToT states. This research used a quantitative approach with the basis of ToT analysis theory from Brown and McNeill. For collecting data, it used an experimental design with EFL students in Kampung Inggris Pare as the objects by involving total 15 participants aged from 18th to 21st years old or late teens. The results show that the language features appearing from the experiment including words (65%), first syllables (24%), last syllables (3%), and letters (6%). The first syllable shows 21% occurrences more than that of the last syllable. There is no identification of stress in the completion of ToT in terms of the appearance of the dominating first syllable. It means that stress does not affect the completion of the ToT, but the frequency of syllables. The other factors that affect ToT in EFL include the mental processes of EFL learners, the sound imitations towards direct communication, and the teacher's role in teaching pronunciation.
