THE TRANSITIVITY SYSTEMS OF THE INDONESIAN AND AUSTRALIAN FACEBOOK STATUSES: A Contrastive Analysis
Get PDFFacebook sebagai sarana komunikasi sosial yang baru dan terkini
membuat banyak orang di dunia terhubung satu sama lain. Sarana komunikasi
ragam tulis ini digunakan para penggunanya untuk saling berbagi dan
mengomentari status, gambar, bahkan video. Facebook pada dasarnya
memberikan wadah kepada para penggunanya untuk berbagi pengalaman atau
untuk berbagi status. Status facebook mencerminkan ragam bahasa sehari-hari
yang digunakan banyak orang. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mencari persamaan
dan perbedaan sistem transitivitas antara status facebook orang Australia dan
Indonesia, khususnya tipe proses, partisipan, dan lingkup situasi yang ada dalam
proses tersebut, berikut kelompok verba, kelompok nomina, dan kelompok
adverbia/frasa preposisi. Berbagai persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut diharapkan
bisa memberikan gambaran yang jelas tentang kelompok verba, nomina, dan
kelompok adverbia/frasa preposisi dalam merepresentasikan makna berikut pelaku
(partisipan yang terlibat), proses yang terjadi, serta lingkup situasi yang ada proses
tersebut. Sebagai data, sekitar 108 klausa status facebook orang Australia dalam
bahasa Inggris dan sekitar 109 klausa status facebook orang Indonesia dalam
bahasa Indonesia telah dijaring. Status- status tersebut dijaring dari tanggal 2 Maret
hingga 12 Maret 2012. Dalam menganalisis data, pendekatan yang digunakan
dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan Systemic Functional Linguistics, yaitu
melihat fungsi suatu bahasa dalam lingkup sosial atau konteks situasi. Dalam
proses analisis, status-status facebook dianalisis menjadi kelompok klausa-klausa
tunggal dan selanjutnya jenis proses, kelompok verba, kelompok nomina, dan
kelompok adverbia/ frasa preposisi yang ada dianalisis dengan menggunakan tabel.
Setelah dianalisis, hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat persamaan dan perbedaan
antara jenis proses antara status facebook orang Australia dan status facebook
orang Indonesia, begitu pun halnya dengan kelompok verba, kelompok nomina,
dan kelompok adverbia/frasa preposisi. Persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut
mencakup frekuensi proses, jenis tenses, finite, predicator, ellipsis dan nonellipsis,
modifikasi kelompok nomina/kelompok preposisi, dan yang lainnya.
Secara umum, baik dalam status orang Australia maupun status orang Indonesia,
proses relasi merupakan prosess yang paling banyak muncul, diikuti proses
kejadian pada posisi ke-dua, proses mental pada posisi ke-tiga, dan proses
gabungan mental dan fisik pada urutan ke-enam. Sebagai tambahan, dalam status
orang Indonesia jumlah proses verba melebihi jumlah proses keberadaan namun
hal ini terjadi sebaliknya pada staus orang Australia. Persamaan dan perbedaan
sistem transitivitas antara status facebook orang Indonesia dan orang Australia
tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu input dalam pengambilan keputusan
yang berkaitan dengan pengajaran bahasa Inggris dan juga sebagai permulaan
untuk perkembangan penelitian berkaitan yang selanjutnya.

A FUNCTIONAL AND COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE OF MEANING MAKING IN THE WRITTEN NARRATIVES OF DEAF AND HEARING STUDENTS: a comparative study
Get PDFPenelitian SFL dan linguistik kognitif ini telah mengungkapkan pembuatan makna pada teks naratif siswa tunarungu dan siswa dengar SMA. Tujuan akhir penelitian ini adalah untuk memaparkan tantangan kebahasaan siswa tunarungu dalam kaitannya dengan siswa dengar. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, sebelas teks naratif dari sebelas siswa tunarungu dan tiga belas data dari siswa dengar dianalisis dalam hal tingkat makro dan mikro teks mereka. Dalam hal level makro, aspek yang dikaji adalah struktur generik naratif. Pada tataran mikro, analisis difokuskan pada sistem transitivitas, metafor dalam sistem transitivitas, serta mental state terms dalam sistem transitivitas. Berdasarkan perspektif fungsional dan kognitif, ditemukan adanya hambatan kelompok tunarungu dalam membuat makna secara fungsional. Hambatan tersebut terlihat dari adanya kesenjangan dalam hal struktur generik naratif, distribusi jenis proses, jenis partisipan dan jenis sirkumstansi metafor, serta dalam hal positive mental state terms. Secara khusus, hambatan pada siswa tunarungu terjadi pada pembuatan makna yang melibatkan kemampuan kognitif tingkat lanjut, yaitu pembuatan makna abstrak, pembuatan makna evaluatif, serta pembuatan makna analogi. Penelitian ini menafsirkan bahwa tantangan tertulis kelompok tunarungu adalah karena keterbatasan input linguistik yang kontekstual dalam kognisi sebagai akibat dari keterlambatan akses terhadap bahasa verbal bahkan bahasa isyarat terutama selama critical period. Kelompok tunarungu dalam penelitian ini telah mengalami ketunarunguan tingkat berat sejak lahir atau balita dan dibesarkan dalam keluarga dengar. Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan masukan bagi dunia pendidikan bahasa. Pedagogi Bahasa Indonesia bagi siswa tunarungu SMA disarankan untuk lebih menekankan pada pembuatan makna yang melibatkan kemampuan kognitif tingkat lanjut seperti mengkonstruksikan makna abstrak, makna evaluatif, dan makna analogi. Hal ini dapat diterapkan dalam kerangka sistem transitivitas di bawah pembelajaran berbasis genre.
The present SFL and cognitive linguistic study has revealed the meaning making in the written narratives constructed by deaf and hearing senior high school students. Its final goal is to provide the insight into the linguistic challenges of the deaf group in reference to the hearing peers. To achieve the purpose of the study, eleven real-life narratives elicited from eleven deaf senior high school students and thirteen elicited from thirteen hearing counterparts were analysed in terms of their macro and micro levels. In terms of the macro-level, the investigated aspect was the generic structure of narratives. In terms of micro-level, the analyses were on the transitivity system, the metaphor within the transitivity system, and the mental state terms within the transitivity system. Based on the cognitive and functional perspective, it was found that there was a delay of the deaf group in making functional meaning. The delay is seen from the gaps in terms of narrative generic structure, process type distribution, participant and circumstance types, metaphors, and in terms of positive mental state terms. In particular, the barriers of deaf students occur in the meaning making that involves advanced cognitive abilities, namely making abstract meaning, making evaluative meaning, and making analogous meaning. The current study interprets that the written challenges of the deaf group is linked to the limited input of contextual linguistic resources in the cognition, as the result of their delayed access to the verbal language even the sign language especially during the critical periods. All deaf participants in the current study have experienced profound deafness since their birth or infancy and have been raised in hearing families. Further, the current study expects that the results contribute to providing insightful input for educational purposes. The pedagogical practices of Bahasa Indonesia for deaf senior high school students should give more emphasis on the meaning making that involves advanced cognitive skills like constructing abstract meaning, evaluative meaning, and analogical meaning. This can be applied within the transitivity framework under the genre-based instruction
Nominal groups in deaf and hearing students’ narratives: A functional perspective
Get PDFUnderstanding the language aspect of deaf students in reference to their hearing counterparts plays a salient role in providing language teaching and learning treatment for the former. As the initial effort to contribute to the language pedagogy for individuals with deafness, this study reveals the patterns of nominal groups in the Indonesian narratives of four deaf senior high school students and four hearing students of the same level. A qualitative text analysis was adopted as the research design to investigate the nominal group patterns in both data sets. Eight narratives about “being chased by a dog” were first identified in terms of their schematic structure. Then the ‘things’ or ‘participants’ in the stories were analysed based on the experiential nominal group framework of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), consisting of Deictic, Numerative, Epithet, Classifier, Thing, and Qualifier. The analysis of nominal group patterns shows that ‘participants’ in the four stories of deaf writers were most frequently represented with Thing only (76.9%), Thing + Deictic (17.9%), Thing + Qualifier (3.8%), and Thing + Epithet (1.3%). In the compositions of their hearing peers, five other patterns were also employed, including those with three constituents like Thing + Deictic + Qualifier. The findings of this study hint at the simplified nature of deaf students’ nominal groups. In narratives, complex nominal group patterns contribute to representing things specifically. It is expected that further treatment can be provided to assist deaf students in making meaning of their narratives functionally, for example, by using complex nominal group patterns
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
