Psycholinguistics in Cognitive Science Period studies more about human in learning language as the nature, such as children who have stages in acquiring language. Children who do not go through these stages may get language disorder. One of language disorders is experienced by feral children. Feral Children are children who never get any input like normal human being so that they cannot do anything normally, especially in producing language. The writer focuses on the study of Katie as a feral child in Mockingbird Don't Sing film. The aims of this study are to find out the linguistic characteristics of Katie and also the treatment to Katie. This study uses qualitative approach because it analyses the phenomenon in children. Case study is applied in this study to get the detail description from the subject and the data of this study are linguistic characteristics and treatment of Katie as a feral child. This study reveals that there are three types of linguistic characteristics of Katie as a feral child. Those are phonology, grammar, and semantic. The writer finds that Katie is actually still able to develop her language but it seems difficult because she already passes her critical period. From the film, the writer also finds that there are four types of treatment, those are focus on the individual profile, playing game, communication interactivity, and natural and rich communication. From those treatments Katie is able to communicate though she tends to use sign language. The last, the writer suggests that the next researcher who wants to analyze feral child can specifically use theories of linguistic characteristics.

Characterization in Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants

Agnes, Ading Pradani. 2014. Characterization in Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants. Study Program of English, Department of Languages and Literature, Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Brawijaya. Supervisor: Sri Herminingrum; Co-supervisor: Melania Shinta HarendikaKeywords: Ernest Hemingway, short story, character, characterization.Short story is a medium to deliver the message of the author's sense about what happened in society. Short story has the elements to reveal the author's sense and one of them is character. Character as a sign is used to reflect the existence of the person in order to build the reader's imagination, especially in the narrative text. Some of characters are presented by the author in direct or indirect characterization. Ernest Hemingway is a well known author who presents indirect characterization in his work. The characterization of each implicit character can be identified through the text in Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants.The study of Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants applies structuralismapproach as the grounding approach; generic form, and Roman Jakobson'smetaphor, and metonymy as the theories that are used to identify each character's characterization through the texts and dialogues. Information about Hemingway and some references about characterization are needed to complete the process of identification.The result of this study presents Ernest Hemingway's specialty in playing indirect characterization. In Hills Like White Elephants, Hemingway presents three indirect characters' characterization; the American, the Girl and the Woman.Each character has traits. First, the characterization of the Girl shows that she is aperson who is always pessimistic with her condition, stubborn and she can becategorized as an emotionally unstable person. Second, the American'scharacterization shows that he is fickle, egoist, and he is also an irresponsibleperson. The last, the Woman's characterization describes that she is a politeperson. For the further researchers, it is suggested to use historical approach inother Ernest Hemingway's works because most of Hemingway's works were fromhis experience during he spent his life in Europe by being the volunteer in WorldWar I.

Gambaran Kehidupan Samurai Pasca Keruntuhan Pemerintahan Shogun dalam Film Rurouni Kenshin Karya Sutradara Otomo Keishi

Kata Kunci: kehidupan samurai, sosiologi sastra, Restorasi Meiji, film Rurouni Kenshin Rurouni Kenshin adalah film karya sutradara Keishi Otomo yang menceritakan kehidupan samurai pada Restorasi Meiji. Ketertarikan penulis terhadap film ini karena film ini menampilkan kehidupan samurai khususnya pada era Meiji. Teori yang penulis pergunakan dalam menganalisis film ini adalah teori sosiologi sastra, keadaan samurai zaman Edo sampai Restorasi Meiji, dan mise en scene. Pergantian zaman yang ditandai oleh pertempuran Toba-Fushimi dalam film Rurouni Kenshin tidak didukung oleh rakyat Jepang seluruhnya. Masuknya budaya Barat pada Jepang mempengaruhi kemiliteran pada saat itu. Pada masa Meiji, klasifikasi masyarakat dihapuskan, sehingga golongan samurai kehilangan pekerjaan. Samurai yang tidak memiliki kemampuan dan kesempatan untuk bekerja kepada Kemiliteran Kaisar, memutuskan untuk bekerja kepada orang kaya, yang tidak memilih bekerja pada kemiliteran Kaisar ataupun bekerja pada orang kaya memilih jalan untuk hidup bebas sesuai apa yang mereka inginkan. Pada penelitian selanjutnya penulis menyarankan untuk mengangkat film ini dengan pendekatan lain, di antaranya pendekatan sejarah dan penokohan karakter yang ada dalam film dengan tujuan memperkaya apresiasi dalam karya sastra.
