Kawin Paksa dalam Gadis Pantai

Lindawati Lindawati — 2022-10-11

Sejumlah karya sastra ditulis oleh pengarang berdasarkan imajinasi semata, terinspirasi dari suatu peristiwa, atau merupakan tanggapan penulis terhadap apa yang terjadi di masyarakat. Pramoedya Ananta Toer adalah salah satu pengarang kenamaan Indonesia yang karya-karyanya banyak didasari oleh kejadian faktual yang dia ketahui atau dia alami sendiri. Gadis Pantai adalah sebuah kisah yang dia tulis berdasarkan peristiwa yang terjadi dikalangan kaum awam dengan kaum priyayi di Jawa. Tulisan ini menggunakan perspektif Marxis dalam memahami konflik antara dua kaum yaitu Priyayi dan orang desa. Analisa menunjukkan bahwa hegemoni berperan dalam hubungan kedua kelompok ini. Kaum Priyayi mendominasi kehidupan kaum miskin sementara orang miskin merasa nyaman bisa dekat dengan kaun Priyayi meskipun mereka sudah dihegemoni.

Rumbardi Rumbardi — 2022-10-11

Hampir semua huruf mulai dari ‘a’ sampai ‘z’ kecuali huruf ‘j’, ‘q’, dan ‘v’ ditemukan silent (sunyi/ tidak dilafazkan) pada posisi atau lingkungan bunyi tertentu. Misalnya, huruf /b/ sunyi dalam kata ‘plumber’, /g/ sunyi dalam kata ‘gnome’, huruf /p/ dalam kata ‘coup’, /i/ dalam ‘zaria’, /l/ dalam ‘salmon’, /m/ dalam ‘mnemonic’, /s/ dalam ‘debris ‘, /x/ dalam ‘faux’, /z/ dalam rendezvous (Oxford Advanced Learner Dictinary). Kajian ini membahas tentang pola, bentuk, posisi, dan lingkungan dari silent letter tersebut. Data adalah semua kata-kata yang mempunyai silent letter diambil dari Oxpord Advanced Learner Dictionary, kemudian dianalisa dengan menggunakan teori Carney (1994). Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa silent letter terdapat dalam dua pola yaitu pola ‘endocentric digraph’ dan ‘empty letter’. Dari pola endocentric digraph ditemukan bermacam-macam bentuk digraph yang mengambil posisi diawal, ditengah, atau diakhir sebuah kata. Sedangkan pola empty letter tidak punya bentuk. Hubungan bunyi dua huruf yang mengapit satu huruf sangat kuat, sehingga bunyi huruf yang terapit jadi silent. Kemudian diteliti bagaimana mahasiswa melafazkan kata-kata yang mengandung silent letter tersebut. Hasil penelitian penunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan kemampuan mahasiswa senior dalam melafazkan kata-kata yang mengandung silent letter masih sangat rendah.

The research data were collected from lists of menus used in nine Restaurants and cafes in Pondok, a Chinese Town of Padang City. There are 209 food and drink names in the form of noun phrases. The NPs can be categorized into 31 types, ranging from simple to complex constructions. The most common type is Noun + Noun and Adjective + Noun. The NPs are used more for food names than that for drinks'. It is probably due to the wider variety of cooking styles and food ingredients than drinks. A wide variety of NPs used for the menus' names in the observed restaurants indicates the owners' sufficient knowledge of the English language.
