Measuring Correlation between Word Class Frequency and Simulated Early Lexical Development Based on Data Analysis from Preschool Short Stories

This article analyses how a set of psycholinguistic factors may account for children’s lexical development. Age of acquisition is compared to a measure of lexical development based on vocabulary size rather than age, and robust regression models are used to assess the individual and joint effects of word class, frequency, imageability and phonological neighbourhood density on Norwegian children’s early lexical development. The Norwegian Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) norms were used to calculate each CDI word’s age of acquisition and vocabulary size of acquisition. Lexical properties were downloaded from the lexical database Norwegian Words, supplemented with data on frequency in adult and child-directed speech. Age of acquisition correlated highly with vocabulary size of acquisition, but the new measure was more evenly distributed and more sensitive to lexical effects. Frequency in child-directed speech was the most important predictor of lexical development, followed by imageability, which seems to account for the dominance of nominals over predicates in Norwegian.

Comprehension Development

ABSTRACTLists of the first 50 words comprehended and produced by eight infants between 0; 9 and 1; 8 were compared. Comprehension development began earlier (around 0; 9) and reached the 50-word level (age 1; 1) earlier than production development (ages 1; 0 and 1; 6 respectively) and rate of word acquisition for comprehension was twice that of production, confirming the hypothesis that comprehension precedes production for lexical development. Word-class analysis revealed differences in the proportion and type of action words in comprehension and production vocabularies. It is suggested that action is central to lexical development but is expressed differently in comprehension, where action words are used to initiate actions, and production, where non-action words accompany the child's actions.

Penelitian ini membahas 6 (enam) cerita pendek dalam kumpulan cerita pendek Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! karya Djenar Maesa Ayu melalui perspektif posfeminisme. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengungkap strategi penarasian perempuan yang dilakukan oleh Djenar Maesa Ayu. Untuk mencapai tujuan, penelitian dilakukan dalam beberapa tahap, yaitu penentuan objek penelitian dan kerangka teori, pengumpulan dan analisis data, dan simpulan. Objek penelitian ini terdiri dari 6 (enam) cerita pendek karya Djenar Maesa Ayu, antara lain Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet!, Lintah, Durian, Melukis Jendela, Wong Asu, dan Namanya…. Melalui cerita pendek tersebut, data kemudian dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis wacana kritis dengan menafsirkan seluruh perangkat kebahasaan dan menghubungkannya dengan perspektif posfeminisme. Selain merelasikan dengan perspektif posfeminisme, teori sudut pandang menurut Tzevetan Todorov akan digunakan untuk mengungkap strategi penarasian perempuan yang dilakukan oleh Djenar Maesa Ayu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan seakan-akan menjadi objek dalam ruang dominasi patriarki, melainkan sejatinya menjadi sentral subjek yang melakukan resistensi terhadap wacana dominan (patriartki) melalui penyebutan laki-laki dengan nama kepala hewan yang disesuaikan dengan sifat dan perilakunya, antara lain Si Kepala Gajah, Si Kepala Sapi, Si Kepala Anjing. Selain itu, wujud resistensi perempuan dilakukan juga melalui penyayatan pipi dan pemotongan pusat keperkasaan (kuasa) laki-laki (penis). Penarasian dalam cerita pendek karya Djenar Maesa Ayu menunjukkan sindiran (satire) bagi bahwa laki-laki tidak lebih cerdas dari perempuan yang disebut monyet.(This study discusses six short stories in the anthology of Djenar Maesa Ayu's work entitled Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! through a post feminism perspective. The problem in this study relates to the narration of women as victims in the patriarchal space. The aim of the study was to reveal the narration of women, the position of female subjects, and the discourse embedded in the short stories. To achieve the goal, this research was conducted in several stages, such as choosing object of research and the theoretical framework, collecting data, analysis, and conclusions. The object of this study consist of six short stories by Djenar Maesa Ayu, including "Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! "Lintah", "Durian", "Melukis Jendela", "Wong Asu", and "Namanya ....". Data is collected through in-depth reading and quoting words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and dialogues which are then described analytically. The data is then analyzed by interpreting all linguistic tools and connecting them with the postfeminism perspective. The results showed that women were narrated as if they were objects in the space of patriarchal domination, but instead they became a central subject who carried out resistance to patriarchal discourse by giving calls in the form of names of animal heads according to the nature and behavior of men, including Si Kepala Gajah, Si Kepala Sapi, dan Si Kepala Anjing. Other resistance carried out by women, through slashing the cheek and cutting penis, the symbol of man’s power. The narration in the short story of Djenar Maesa Ayu's works shows satire that men is not smarter than women whose called monkeys by them.)

Konjungsi merupakan kelas kata yang ada pada setiap bahasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan perilaku sintaksis konjungsi koordinatif bahasa Jepang. Perilaku sintaksis tersebut meliputi fungsi konjungsi, letak struktural konjungsi, dan sifat kehadiran konjungsi. Sumber data penelitian ini yaitu Biografi Hellen Keller, Esai Read Real Japanese, dan kumpulan Cerpen DonDon Yomeru IriIro Na Hanashi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif. Dalam menganalisis data peneliti menggunakan metode padan translasional untuk pemindahan arti dari bahasa Jepang ke bahasa Indonesia. Untuk menganalisis fungsi konjungsi, letak struktural konjungsi, dan sifat kehadiran konjungsi peneliti menggunakan metode distribusional beserta tekniknnya. Hasil analisis data menunjukan bahwa fungsi konjungsi koordinatif bahasa Jepang yaitu menghubungkan kata dengan kata yaitu konjungsi to dan konjungsi ya, dan menghubungkan klausa dengan kluasa yaitu konjungsi ga dan konjungsi -shi. Letak struktural konjungsi koordinatif bahasa Jepang yaitu berada di antara unsur yang digabungkan. Sementara itu, sifat kehadiran konjungsi di dalam konstruksi adalah wajib dan tidak dapat dilesapkan. Conjunction is a class of words that exist in every language. This study aims to describe the syntactic behavior of Japanese coordinating conjunctions. The syntactic behavior includes the function of the conjunction, the structural location of the conjunction, and the presence of the conjunction. The data sources of this research are Hellen Keller Biography, Real Japanese Read Essays, and a collection of Dondon Yomeru Hanashi short stories. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. In analyzing the data the researcher applies the translational equivalent method for the transfer of meaning from Japanese to Indonesian. To analyze the function of the conjunction, the structural location of the conjunction, and the nature of the presence of the conjunction, the researcher uses the distributional method and its technique. The results of data analysis show that the coordinating conjunctions of Japanese are linking words to words, namely conjunctions to and conjunctions ya and linking clauses with clauses, which is conjunctions ga and conjunctions -shi. The structural position of Japanese coordinating conjunctions is among the elements combined. Meanwhile, the presence of conjunctions in construction is mandatory and cannot be mitigated.

The Malay stories of Pelanduk yang Bijak, Peniup Seruling and Seuncang Padi were translated to English, and analysed to identify the translation problems. The procedures were also investigated to find solutions for the problems using translation procedures as the framework for data analysis. After the translation of the stories, the source and target texts were analysed to identify problems and procedures. The findings of the study indicated two types of problems in the Malay-English translations of the stories; structural or semantic problems, and problems arising from cultural differences. Among various translation procedures used in the translations, literal translation was the most common procedure in the translation of the Malay stories. The findings from translations and the analyses in this study could be utilised in translator and interpreter training classrooms. Finding solutions to the translation problems could improve translators’ ability to better theorise while translating, and thus produce “good” translations, particularly in the translation of literary works from Malay to English. This study could have pedagogical significance, as the Malay short stories contain moral lessons by which Malay culture could be further introduced and “exported” to the English-speaking audience through literature.
