Storytelling Through Movement: An Analysis Of The Connections Between Dance & Literature, 2018 East Tennessee State University
Storytelling Through Movement: An Analysis Of The Connections Between Dance & Literature, Zoe Hester
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Movement and storytelling are the links between past and present; both dance and literature have the same artistic and primal origins. We began to dance to express and communicate, to worship and feel. We tell stories for the same reasons: to learn from the past and to be able to communicate in the present.
This work explores the many connections between literature and dance through examinations of six dance forms: Native American, Bharatanatyam, West African, Ballet, Modern, and Post-Modern dance.
Irrealis, Aspect, And Complementation In Old Javanese, 2018 Department of Asian Studies of the University of British Columbia
Irrealis, Aspect, And Complementation In Old Javanese, Thomas M. Hunter
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article focuses on two issues in the study of the syntax and semantics of the Old Javanese: (1) the effects of irrealis on the marking of the “passive” or Undergoer Voice verb phrases of Old Javanese, and (2) the study of complementation in Old Javanese, with particular reference to a particle n/an, first studied in an article by E.M. Uhlenbeck (1986). The study is introduced with a brief survey of some of the major components of the morphosyntactic system of Old Javanese developed largely using the analytical framework of Nicholas Himmelmann’s study (2005) of the symmetrical voice systems of …
The Description Of The Di- Passive Construction In Dialectal Javanese, 2018 State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) Salatiga, Central Java
The Description Of The Di- Passive Construction In Dialectal Javanese, Noor Malihah
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This corpus of the non-standard Kudus dialect of Javanese (JDK) passive voice construction was compiled in the course of fieldwork in Kudus and was annotated to draw attention to several syntactic/semantic features. An investigation was undertaken of the di- affix in the JDK which encodes the passive function in contrast to the Standard Javanese in a quantitative descriptive analysis. The results indicate the existence of an “abbreviated agentive passive” which occurs more frequently than the “agentive passive”, but less frequently than the “agentless passive”. The results also show that the passives in JDK are in fact likely to have inanimate …
Polite Vocabulary In The Javanese Language Of Surabaya, 2018 University of Newcastle, Australia
Polite Vocabulary In The Javanese Language Of Surabaya, Daniel Krauße
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Surabaya and its surroundings are known for their peculiar dialect, which does not only exhibit very characteristic phonological and morphological features, but also has a politeness, honorific, and deferential system that has so far remained largely understudied. It is the aim of this paper to shed further light on the sociolinguistic situation of the Javanese dialect of the city of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia with a focus on the polite vocabulary (Krama, Krama Andhap, and Krama Inggil). Although to the Central Javanese ear, speakers of Surabayan Javanese sound discourteous, they by no means are impolite. After a general introduction about …

The Expression Of Location And Space In Surinamese And Indonesian Javanese, 2018 University of Amsterdam
The Expression Of Location And Space In Surinamese And Indonesian Javanese, Sophie Villerius
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper examines the influence of language contact and multilingualism on the expression of location and space in the heritage variety of Javanese spoken in Suriname. Alongside Javanese, this community also speaks Sranantongo and Dutch. It is found that Surinamese speakers tend to use simple locative constructions more frequently than baseline speakers, at the expense of complex constructions. It is shown that the individual speaker variables age, generation, place of residence, and network play a role in explaining the usage of simple versus complex locative constructions in Surinamese Javanese: the more language contact speakers experience, the more they will use …
Losing The Battle; The Marginalization Of Javanese Compact Forms, 2018 Intercultural Studies Department, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada
Losing The Battle; The Marginalization Of Javanese Compact Forms, Aris Munandar
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
In the contact situation with Indonesian, the standard variety of Javanese in Yogyakarta is experiencing an incipient shift. The shift is indicated by the shrinking domain of use, and the degradation of speakers’ proficiency. It also reveals some ongoing changes in its structure, observable in the tendency of the younger generation to use particular elements different to those used by grandparent and parent generations. This article examines unique patterns of Javanese morphosyntax by focusing on the suffix -a, infix -um-, -in-, and confix ka-an, on the basis of utterances recorded from authentic speech events involving speakers of different generations. The …

Wòlak-Waliké Jaman; Exploring Contemporary Walikan In Public Space, Nurenzia Yannuar
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article describes the current use of Walikan, a youth language in Malang, Indonesia. Unlike any previously described youth registers in Indonesia, Walikan has been around since as early as the 1940s and has continuously reinvented itself ever since. As will be shown, the speakers of Walikan have certain strategies to keep the practice alive. In addition to the use of Walikan in face-to-face communication, they also use Walikan in songs, local TV news, local newspaper columns as well as in public signs. The analysis focuses on how a youth language which began as an oral practice has been maintained …
The Development Of The English-Type Passive In Balinese, 2018 Malay language and linguistics, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
The Development Of The English-Type Passive In Balinese, Hiroki Nomoto
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The morpheme -a in Balinese is ambiguous because it can serve as a third person enclitic pronoun or a passive voice marker. Various views exist about whether the morpheme can be a pronoun in the presence of a teken agentive phrase. This paper argues that it can and that the construction in which the pronoun -a and a teken phrase co-occur (the hybrid type) is an instance of clitic doubling. A hypothesis about how the third person pronoun became a passive marker and how various passive sub-types came into existence is proposed. It is claimed that the hybrid type played …
The Compartmentalization Of Languages And Identities Among Nationalist Youth In Semarang, 2018 Department of Sociology, Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta
The Compartmentalization Of Languages And Identities Among Nationalist Youth In Semarang, Kristian Tamtomo
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Contemporary mainstream discourse on youths in Indonesia tends to define it in terms of the popular-culture-oriented notion of youth. This article seeks to show that certain state-formed youth groups, particularly in institutional settings, continue to promote the state-oriented pemuda or nationalist youth identity. By looking at an example of a Paskibra group (Pasukan Pengibar Bendera – the Flag- Raising Troop) from a state vocational high school in Semarang, Central Java, the article seeks to highlight the way in which these youths combine language and symbolic behaviours to present this nationalist identity. Concurrently, these youths also appropriate elements of popular culture …
Perception Of English Vowels By Javanese And Sundanese Speakers; A Mouse-Tracking Study, 2018 Leiden University Centre for Linguistics
Perception Of English Vowels By Javanese And Sundanese Speakers; A Mouse-Tracking Study, Arum Perwitasari
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Second language (L2) learners often encounter difficulties caused by the interference of their native language (L1). The aim of this study is to examine how the Javanese and Sundanese vowel systems hinder the perception of ten English vowels. Thirty Javanese, thirty Sundanese, and twenty English native speakers participated in a mouse-tracking experiment. Participants were required to identify English vowels corresponding to an auditory token by clicking on one of two word strings presented on a computer screen. According to the Speech Learning Model (SLM) hypothesis, the Javanese and Sundanese speakers were predicted to have higher error rates and show a …
Behind The Eco-Friendliness Of “Batik Warna Alam”; Discovering The Motives Behind The Production Of Batik In Jarum Village, Klaten, 2018 Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana
Behind The Eco-Friendliness Of “Batik Warna Alam”; Discovering The Motives Behind The Production Of Batik In Jarum Village, Klaten, Widhi Handayani, Augustinus Ign Kristijanto, Arianti Ina Restiani Hunga
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The policy of sustainable production has encouraged small batik businesses to shift to natural dyes as these are considered eco-friendly. However, the motivation behind juragan batiks’ embracing natural dyes still has some question marks attached. This qualitative study explains the motivation of the juragan batiks in using natural colourants in their production of batik warna alam and explores the significance of batik warna alam to juragan batik. We found the production of batik warna alam tended to be triggered by economic reasons not environmental consciousness. This related to the meaning of batik warna alam to maintaining the economic survival of …

Linguistic Political Ecology With The Ngäbe Indigenous People Of Panama, 2018 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
Linguistic Political Ecology With The Ngäbe Indigenous People Of Panama, Ginés A. Sánchez Arias
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Indigenous communities from all corners of the globe live in uncertain times. From the vantage point of their “remote" lands, they undergo some of globalization’s most harmful externalities. Their homes become increasingly harder to maintain as extractive industries, development schemes, clandestine land grabs, and national bureaucracies encroach creating new colonial lands. First by assimilation, and then integration, these processes systematically undermine indigenous culture and autonomy. In place of such destructive coloniality, indigenous societies shelter unique ecological and linguistic knowledge that continues to serve their progress. This research applies lessons learned from studying with Ngäbe communities of western Panama, towards a …
