The Politeness Strategies used by Bree van de Kamp in Desperate Housewives TV Series
No full textThe research focuses on the concepts of pragmatics and politeness. The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of politeness strategies in TV series Desperate Housewives. Specifically, this study is designed to find out the kind(s) of politeness strategies used by Bree van de Kamp in the conversation and to find out the reasons why these politeness strategies are used by Bree van de Kamp. Bree is chosen among the four main characters since she is the one who fulfill the criteria of a polite person as defined by Holmes. The research design of this study is descriptive-qualitative since the data are collected, analyzed, and described in the form of words rather than numerical scores or statistics. The study is descriptive because it tries to describe the way politeness strategies are used by a native female adult.The data of the research are the utterances, which contain politeness strategies employed by Bree van de Kamp. This study has one primary data source which is the drama script of Desperate Housewives TV series from the first season taken from the internet. The research result shows that Bree uses four kinds of politeness strategies as proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987), namely: Positive Politeness(40%), Negative Politeness ( 31%), Bald on Record (18%) and, Off Record (8%). In using Bald on Record, the most common situation that occur are Task-oriented, S’s want to satisfy H’s face is small, and Urgent. In Positive Politeness, Bree uses Group identity marker more often than Avoid disagreement and Give gifts to H. In Negative Politeness, Hedge is in the top use followed by Be indirect and Give deference. In Off Record, Bree uses Give association clues, Irony and Overstatement. The possible reason why Bald on Record is chosen is the distance between Bree and H is close or the rate of imposition is small. Therefore, this strategy can be used in different circumstances depending on Bree’s motives in doing the FTA. Meanwhile, the reason of using Off Record strategy is mainly influenced by the social factor, which is the rate of imposition. The use of this strategy becomes one sign of her character as a wise person. Positive Politeness is used by Bree when she and her addressee know each other fairly well. The dominant social factor which influences the use of Positive Politenessis is distance. Besides, Bree shows herself as a caring, affectionate, and understanding person. In line with this reason, by choosing Negative Politeness, Bree can be marked as a pleasant person who respects others. Towards her husband and her close friends, the rate of imposition of a particular topic becomes the dominant social factor which influences the use of Negative Politeness. In contrast, towards her acquaintances and unfamiliar addressees; distance becomes a dominant social factor which determines the use of Negative Politeness. In conclusion, all of these strategies are proposed to minimize the FTA done by Bree. Her reason of choosing a certain strategy of politeness is determined by her motives to do an FTA and factor of distance, power, and rate of imposition. In addition, the author is successful in shaping the character of Bree as a polite person through her language, and the way she speaks and interacts with other characters. For pragmatics students, they still have to be aware of social factors which influence the use of a specified strategy of politeness. The pragmatics lecturers need to give more examples of politeness strategies from various contexts to their students. Future researchers are expected to conduct research of politeness not only in real life, but also in created discourses. A comparative study on the use of politeness strategies between English and Indonesian in daily lives, or between English and Indonesian’ fictions can become challenging issues for the study of politeness

Waste and innovation. How waste companies and government can interact to stimulate innovation in the Dutch waste industry
No full textThis thesis answers the question how government and Dutch waste companies can interact in such a way that innovation is stimulated. The author has developed a method to determine the potential for self-regulation and self-control of a company or an industry. This method is based upon the measurement of degree to which the company has assured legal compliance within the own organisation. Furthermore an approach is given to create innovation-friendly regulation using innovation theoretical principles.Industrial Design Engineerin
ELLIPSIS TYPES IN STEPHENIE MEYER’S “THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER” USING A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS
No full textEllipsis is an omitting part of the sentence that may occur in the English novel. Some authors write a novel tend to use ellipsis in their work. Learners who read English novel are likely to find the author’s writing style which study is aimed to explain the types of the elliptical sentence used by the author in the novel The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. This research applied a qualitative method and employed a source of data from Stephenie Meyer’s Novel and some references to support this study. A further technique of analyzing data in this research is always linked to the theory and methods based on Syntactic Analysis. Subsequently, this research uses the syntactic analysis form, Noam Chomsky. As a result, the researcher found that there are three types of elliptical sentence occurred in the novel. The types of elliptical sentence are a nominal ellipsis, verbal ellipsis, and clausal ellipsis. Therefore, based on the research findings, the researcher concludes that the types of ellipsis the author used in her novel based on the evidence are verbal ellipsis, nominal ellipsis, and clausal ellipsis. As a suggestion, it is essential to learn light on the readers or writers’ ability to employ ellipsis types in their work as it is necessary in more economizing and conceiving sentence

The Great Reimagining: Public Art, Urban Space and the Symbolic Landscapes of a ‘New’ Northern Ireland (Bree T. Hocking: Berghahn, 2015)
No full textA review of The Great Reimagining: Public Art, Urban Space and the Symbolic Landscapes of a ‘New’ Northern Ireland is written by Bree T. Hocking.
The Great Reimagining: Public Art, Urban Space and the Symbolic Landscapes of a ‘New’ Northern Ireland is written by Bree T. Hocking, a Research Associate at the Open University with a background in exploring the intersection of art, spatial politics and society. This book critically investigates the global and local processes shaping public spaces in the two largest cities of ‘post-conflict’ Northern Ireland: Belfast and Derry. A particular emphasis is placed on interrogating selected state-financed public art commissions, questioning their intended impact, the sometimes contested and unforeseen community responses, and the insights derived as to the vision of citizenship the State is seeking to engender in the ‘new symbolic landscapes’ of Northern Ireland (p. 4). In essence, the study explores the dissonance and contradictions that typically manifest in the spatial restructuring of urban space, particularly where public art is mobilised by policymakers and funding bodies as a means of promoting local reconciliation and shared space while simultaneously calibrated to attract global investment capital and ‘consumer-tourists’. To this end, the author posits a conceptual framework for the analysis of official discourses shaping such ‘transitional space’ and asserts its wider applicability to other post-conflict and post-industrial societies
