Abstract

This article discusses two poems, a Stephen Crane’s poem entitled War is Kind and a Walt Whitman’s poem entitled Dirge for Two Veterans. These two poems are about the war.The objectives of the study are to illustrate the misery that is caused by the war and to compare the different way’s of expressing the same theme in these two poems. The approach used in this research is the objective approach. This approach is chosen because the analysis is solely based on the elements found in the poems. This paper uses the library research as the method of research. Then the descriptive method is applied to explain the poems descriptively by interpreting each stanza in the poems.The result of the research shows that the misery which is caused by war exists and affects so many people. Both Stephen Crane’s War is Kind and Walt Whitman’s Dirge for Two Veterans provide us with images of death and misery that are caused by the war though in a slight different way in expressing the theme. War is Kind highlights the irony of ‘war is kind’ to provoke the sense of dreadfulness. By using this irony, it tries to influence the readers to judge that war is not kind at all. Walt Whitman’s Dirge for Two Veterans also points out death as the consequence of the war. But in this poem, misery is described as something that should be endured though it is haunting and frightening.

Abstract

The offer is one form of speech act realizations. Making offer in English belongs to a real example of communicative English learning for it requires practical implementation in some ways. Accordingly, one should not only comprehend the offer in English from what is stated in English grammar books, but also from certain situation providing imaginary life aspects as can be found in the real ones. Such a situation, which is later on called as context, can be displayed through American movies. This study found interesting features in the way the subjects manipulate and manage offers intended to their hearers. The features are mainly noted in three aspects which are utterance length indicating offer (offer-sequence), speech act classification indicating offer, and the most frequently used semantic formulae in accordance with the differences of age, familiarity, and status.

Abstract

This research attempts to investigate the production of English dental fricative sounds by Sundanese students of Universitas Gadjah Mada. It aims to investigate the level of acceptability and to find out the possible factors which influence their production of these sounds. 700 sentences containing the four dental fricative consonants were obtained and used as the data of the research. The students’ production of the four consonants was then assessed by a native speaker of English for their acceptability. The results of this research show that the acceptability level as judged by the informant of the students’ production of the dental fricative sounds is low, only 13.80% on average. The highest acceptability is in the sound [f] with 45.56%. The second highest acceptability is in the sound [v] which is scored 5%. It is followed by the sound [θ] which is scored 2.78%, and the sound [ð] with 1.88%. In general, the production of the dental fricative sounds produced by Sundanese students is judged as not clear by the native speaker.
