DIFFERENCES IN MEN’S AND WOMEN’S ESL ACADEMIC WRITING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE

This study examines men’s and women’s ESL academic writing in their written assignments at the University of Melbourne. Three sets of men’s and women’s academic writing were analyzed for several common features of academic writing including syntactic complexity, means of integrating cited information, and methods of presenting arguments. The findings showed significant differences between the men’s and women’s texts in those three aspects. The structure of the women’s texts tended to be more complex than the men’s. The women also used more paraphrases to integrate cited information, and presented better organized arguments. Those characteristics of the women’s texts presumably would be advantages for their success in academic writing, and indicate a higher level of proficiency in ESL academic writing

TRANSITIVITY IN TELEPHONE CONVERSATION IN A BRIBERY CASE IN INDONESIA : A FORENSIC LINGUISTIC STUDY

Penelitian ini adalah sebuah kajian linguistik atas percakapan telepon dalam bahasa Indonesia pada kasus korupsi yang terjadi baru-baru ini, khususnya sebuah kasus penyuapan. Pendekatan linguistik pragmatis dan sistemik fungsional digunakan sebagai metode untuk mengungkapkan fakta-fakta yang ditemukan pada kasus penyuapan sebagai suatu jenis kasus hukum dalam studi Linguistik Forensik. Percakapan telepon dari dua jenis penyuapan dikumpulkan sebagai data penelitian ini. Data dianalisis secara semantis, pragmatis, dan sintaktis. Ditemukan bahwa para pelaku menggunakan beberapa kode tertentu untuk berkomunikasi. Mereka juga menggunakan cara tertentu untuk menyampaikan tindak tutur lokusi untuk mendapatkan ilokusi untuk mencapai efek perlokusi yang mereka inginkan. Banyak proses materi muncul pada transkrip percakapan telepon para pelaku (koruptor) yang menunjukkan tindakan yang mereka lakukan. Proses materi yang muncul dalam percakapan menunjukkan gejala bahwa permintaan langsung dilakukan oleh pihak yang lebih kuat kepada interlokutor untuk mempersiapkan bahan-bahan. Kata kunci : linguistik forensik, semantik, pragmatik, sintaksis, percakapan telepon, penyuapan This study applies linguistics to investigate telephone conversations on a recent corruption case, to be specific, a bribery, in Indonesia. A pragmatic and systemic functional Linguistic approach was used as the method to reveal the facts on a bribery as a type of legal case in forensic linguistic study. The telephone conversations on two different types of bribery were collected as the data of this research. The data were analyzed semantically, pragmatically, and syntactically. It was found that the perpetrators used some particular codes to communicate. They also used a certain way to convey locutions to get the illocution to achieve the effect of the perlocution they wanted. Many material processes appeared in the transcripts of the telephone conversations of the actors (corruptors) which show the actions performed by the actors. The material process that appears in the conversation suggests a direct request from the more powerful to prepare materials to the interlocutor. Keywords : forensic linguistic, semantics, pragmatics, syntax, telephone conversation, briber

A performance study of anomaly detection using entropy method

An experiment to study the entropy method for an anomaly detection system has been performed. The study has been conducted using real data generated from the distributed sensor networks at the Intel Berkeley Research Laboratory. The experimental results were compared with the elliptical method and has been analyzed in two dimensional data sets acquired from temperature and humidity sensors across 52 micro controllers. Using the binary classification to determine the upper and lower boundaries for each series of sensors, it has been shown that the entropy method are able to detect more number of out ranging sensor nodes than the elliptical methods. It can be argued that the better result was mainly due to the lack of elliptical approach which is requiring certain correlation between two sensor series, while in the entropy approach each sensor series is treated independently. This is very important in the current case where both sensor series are not correlated each other.Comment: Proceeding of the International Conference on Computer, Control, Informatics and its Applications (2017) pp. 137-14

CORPUS LINGUISTICS: METHOD, THEORY, AND PRACTICE

Buku ini merupakan versi pertama yang memaparkan bagaimana linguistik korpus berkembang dan digunakan sebagai metodologi, teori utama, dan penggunaan korpus dalam bidang linguistik dan lintas disiplin. Buku ini terdiri dari 9 Bab, yang diawali dengan Bab I, What is Corpus Linguistics? Penulis mendefinisikan linguistik korpus sebagai sebuah bidang yang memfokuskan pada prosedur, atau metode mempelajari atau meneliti bahasa. McEnery dan Hardie juga menyinggung mengenai pendekatan yang digunakan dalam linguistik korpus yang juga dikemukakan oleh Tognini-Bonelli (2001) yang menyatakan adanya dua pendekatan linguistik korpus, yaitu: berbasis korpus (corpus-based) dan yang dikendalikan korpus (corpus-driven). Keduanya memiliki perbedaan dalam melihat korpus sebagai bukti yang mendukung teori. Yang pertama menggunakan pendekatan yang bersifat deduktif. Sementara itu corpus-driven approach menganggap korpus sebagai bukti yang harus menjadi acuan teori, sehingga bersifat induktif

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND ITS PSCYCHO-CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS

Bilingualism or multilingualism may imply socioeconomic advantages. But a further literature study indicates that this may also affect psychological and cultural viewpoints. The acquisition of second language would significantly influence the mentality or perceptual framework of the language users. Consequently, this finding may inspire to the appropriate pedagogical methods in language acquisition

EVALUASI KUALITAS AIR PADA AREA PEMANFAATAN LAHAN YANG BERBEDA DI DAERAH ALIRAN SUNGAI CILAJA, UJUNG BERUNG

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai dampak pemanfaatan lahan yang berbeda terhadap kualitas air DAS Cilaja. Terdapat 3 lokasi yang ditetapkan dengan metode purposive yaitu lokasi DAS hutan alami pinus serta perkebunan kopi, DAS persawahan dan DAS pemukiman. Pada setiap lokasi dilakukan 3 sampling dengan masing- masing 3 kali pengulangan. Sampel air diambil untuk pengujian kimia dan fisik air sedangkan sampel makrozoobenthos diambil dengan menggunakan Surber-Net yang berukuran 30,5 x 30,5 cm. Makrozoobenthos diawetkan menggunakan formalin, disortir, diidentifikasi dan dihitung. Selanjutnya ditentukan indeks keanekaragaman makrozoobenthos menggunakan indeks Shannon- Wiener pada masing- masing lokasi. Hasil yang didapat ditemukan sebanyak 18 jenis makrozoobenthos yang berbeda pada setiap lokasi. Lokasi DAS hutan alami pinus serta perkebunan kopi ditemukan adanya Syncaris yang merupakan bioindikator perairan tidak tercemar dengan jumlah 157 individu. Lokasi DAS persawahan ditemukan Baetis (Ephemeroptera) dengan jumlah 186 individu. Ordo Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera dan Trichoptera (EPT) merupakan makrozoobenthos yang sensitif terhadap perairan tercemar. Lokasi pemukiman ditemukan Gastropoda dengan jumlah 10 individu yang mampu hidup pada lingkungan yang ekstrim. Saat ini, DAS Cilaja menunjukkan adanya kecenderungan semakin meningkat fungsi lahan disepanjang aliran sungai yang berpengaruh terhadap kondisi kualitas air DAS Cilaja.---------- Research about impact of usage/utilization area that different against water quality of river line region Cilaja had been done.

Pereduksian Peran Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (Peranan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Dalam Pelaksanaan Fungsi Pengawasan Terhadap Pemerintah Daerah Menurut Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2004)

Dengan digantinya UU No. 22 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah menjadi UU No. 32 Tahun 2004 menyebabkan perubahan mendasar terhadap peran fungsional DPRD, terlebih terkait tentang fungsi pengawasan DPRD terhadap Pemerintahan Daerah. Jika sebelumnya di dalam UU No. 22 Tahun 1999, ruang lingkup kewenangan DPRD dalam menjalankan peran fungsionalnya sangatlah luas, namun di dalam UU No. 32 Tahun 2004 ruang lingkup kewenangan DPRD semakin “terbatas”. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada materi perubahan pada UU No. 32 Tahun 2004. Pertama, DPRD sudah tidak berwenang lagi untuk memilih Kepala Daerah dan Wakil Kepala Daerah. Kedua, Kepala Daerah tidak lagi mempunyai kewajiban untuk menyampaikan pertanggungjawaban terkait penyelenggaraan urusan pemerintahan daerah kepada DPRD, melainkan bertanggungjawab kepada pemerintah pusat berdasarkan prinsip dekonsentrasi. Ketiga, DPRD tidak berwenang lagi menolak pertanggungjawaban Kepala Daerah dalam hal pertanggungjawaban yang tidak disetujui DPRD. Keempat, pemerintah pusat berwenang untuk mengevaluasi, menangguhkan, serta mencabut Perda yang dibuat oleh DPRD bersama Kepala Daerah
