Nirergative Verbs in Novels "Laskar Pelangi" by Andrea Hirata and "Perempuan Berkalung Sorban" by Asma Nadia
Get PDFThis study aims to compare the use of niergative verbs in two famous novels in Indonesian literature, namely "Laskar Pelangi" by Andrea Hirata and "Perempuan Berkalung Sorban" by Asma Nadia. Nirergative verbs, which do not require an object in the sentence, play an important role in stretching the story and characters in a narrative. This study analyzes the context of the use of nirergative verbs in the two novels, focusing on their influence on plot development, characterization, and theme. The results of the analysis show differences in the use of nirergative verbs in the two novels. "Laskar Pelangi" tends to use nirergative verbs to describe the character daily lives in the context of their school and neighborhood. On the other hand, "Perempuan Berkalung Sorban" emphasizes the use of nirergative verbs to explore the spiritual aspects and internality of its main characters, creating a more introspective feel. This study also discusses the implications of the use of nirergative verbs on the reader's understanding of the narrative and the message the author wants to convey. This comparison reveals that although both novels use nirergative verbs to achieve different literary effects, they both succeed in creating immersive stories and make significant contributions to Indonesian literature. This comparison provides a deeper insight into the use of non-nergative verbs in Indonesian literature and how their use can affect the narrative and the reader's understanding

Comprehensive Review Discussion of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Learners in Operations of Integers: An Action Research
Get PDFBased on perceived general observation, most Senior High School students tend to have difficulties in performing the four basic operations to the set of numbers called “integers”. An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. This study chose Grade 11 Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students as the targeted respondents for this particular action research. It aims to aid STEM students in their struggles on performing operations of integers. The study will use Review Discussion as the intervention and aid for the problem. Results and Interpretation are obtained by using various appropriate statistical formulas like t-test and standard deviation. The researchers conducted this action research to verify if review discussion will have a positive effect and impact on enhancing the skills of Grade 11 STEM students in operations of integers
Sexisms on Facebook Page Threads of Xyriel Manabat: A Linguistic Analysis
Get PDFLinguistic sensitivity is crucial in shaping individuals' thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes. The impact of language influences the creation of opportunities or the imposition of boundaries. This study delves into the realm of sexist language on the Facebook Page threads of the Filipina Child Star Xyriel Manabat, exploring both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. Drawing on Mill's sexist language typology and Herring et al.'s framework for non-linguistic features, five posts from 2021-2022, gathering the 50 most engaging comments were analyzed. Of these, 36 comments exhibited sexist language. The findings identified five overt forms of sexism, including Naming, Insult terms, Semantic Derogation, and generic Pronouns, while indirect sexism manifested in Humor and Presupposition. Non-linguistic features, such as Emoji and Emoticons, Stickers and GIFs, Images, and Videos, were also noted in sexist comments. The conclusion drawn is that Xyriel Manabat's Facebook page comment sections contain sexist languages, characterized by specific linguistic and non-linguistic features. The study advocates for the use of gender-fair language in social media and educational settings, emphasizing the need for linguistic sexism awareness. Additionally, it encourages future research to explore other platforms and materials for comparative analysis, aiming to contribute to a broader understanding of linguistic dynamics in contemporary communication
