Repair Utterances Used by Bart and Homer in the Simpson REPAIR UTTERANCES USED BY BART AND HOMER IN THE SIMPSON Veronika Listi Ferdini Damopolii Fakultas Bahasa dan Seni Universitas Negeri Manado Tondano, Indonesia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The research explores Repair Utterances Used suggested by McManis, et al. (1988). The goals of the of the analysis are to know the repairs used by the speaker and to find out the speaker meaning or intended meaning by using those repairs. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method to describe the data. The data were analyzed by using a pragmatic approach to ease the writer identifies the speaker meaning. The speaker uses repairs: Uh, Umm, Ehm, Uh-uh, and Uh. The speakers use those repairs to show sometimes there are speech errors or unclear utterances made by the speaker. After that, the speaker immediately realizes it and correct his mistake, but it is also possible if the listener asks for correction or clarification by asking the speaker. However, the use of repair in the conversation has a purpose and the reasons why they do repairs to their interlocutor in conversation, such as because to emphasize previous speaker explanation, to clarify something because the speaker doesn't understand what is talking about, to say something wrong and repair it, to ask clarification of unclear statement, and to clarify the less specific explanation. Keywords: Repair, speaker, speaker meaning. INTRODUCTION characteristics.

  • The Adjective Usage and Its Relation with Gender
    ADLN - PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA CHAPTER III METHOD OF THE STUDY The third chapter explains about the method of the study. This chapter divided into four sub-chapters: research approach, population and sample, technique of data collection, technique of data analysis. 3.1. Research Approach The approach used in this research is the qualitative approach. This method of research is suitable with the purpose of study, since the writer is trying to get the data of the adjective occurrences and its relation with the gender feature. According to according to Dornyei (2007), qualitative research has the emergent research design and interpretative analysis. What is meant by emergent research design here is that qualitative research has no strict foreshadow, and the research is flexible, which means that the research may develop, advance, or processed more in the process of the research. While interpretative analysis means that the research is the result of the researcher‟s subjective point of interpretation towards the data. In this research, the characteristics of the qualitative approach stated by Dornyei (2007) are considered suitable to be used, since this research has no idea of how the characterization of each character in “The Simpsons” and the pattern of adjectives used in it, and also this research is the researcher‟s interpretation of the adjective usage in “The Simpsons” and its relation with the gender feature that may be found in it. This research tries to show the patterns and generalization of gender by using the 22 SKRIPSI THE ADJECTIVE USAGE AND ... NATHAN SETYOBAGAS A.

As a genre-specific theoretical tool for viewers-- and readers-- of television texts, this thesis provides a means to an end: a way to "fine tune" our perception and understanding ofpostmodern comedy, and more importantly, provide concrete means to analyze the structure and implicit messages of one of its primary modes of expression--the prime time television situation comedy. Two case studies will consider the linguistic and textual construction of The Simpsons and Home Improvement and show how each sitcom relies on a postmodern power play between competing interests to engage the audience, subvert, and yet also subtly reinforce some ofour traditional notions ofgender and family relations in a patriarchal society.

  • The Simpsons Tapped out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview
    The Simpsons Tapped Out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview Players like myself have faithfully enjoyed The Simpsons Tapped Out (TSTO) for several years. The developers have continued to expand the game and provide updates in response to player feedback. This has been evident in tools such as the IRS Building tap radius, the Introduction Unemployment Office Job Manager and the Cut & Paste feature, all of which are greatly appreciated by players and have extended the playability of TSTO for many of us who would have otherwise found the game too tedious to continue once their Springfields grew so large. Notably, as respects Events, positive reactive efforts were identifiable in the 2017 Winter Event and the modified use of craft currency. As evident from the forums, many dedicated and heavily-invested players have grown tired with some of TSTO's stale mechanics and gameplay, as well as the proliferation of uninspired content, much of which has little to no place in Springfield, if even the world of "The Simpsons." This Premise player attitude is often displayed in the later stages of major Events as players begin to sense monotony due to a lack in changes throughout an Event, resulting in a feeling that one is merely grinding through the game to stock up on largely unwanted Items. Content-driven major Events geared toward "The Simpsons" version of Springfield with changes of pace, more like mini-Events, and the Solution addition of new Effects, enabling a variety of looks while injecting a new degree of both familiarity and customization for players. The proposed Events and gameplay changes are steeped in canonical content rather than original content.

    Reading Around The Subject The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh Introduction “The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word” When the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei published those words in 1623, his work was thought to be one of the first to suggest that the world around us could be understood using mathematical principles rather than philosophical thought. It was common, as it had been in previous civilisations, for mathematics to be something that was read yet now, when students are introduced to algebra or given their first worded question, they marvel at the use of words in a mathematics lesson. This independent learning project will provide you with the opportunity to discover the joy of reading about mathematics through the book The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh. You are invited to critically read each chapter, discovering a variety of mathematical concepts within a beloved animated sitcom.

  • Die Welt Der Simpsons
    Der ultimative Episoden-Führer Staffel 1 bis 20 AHOY-HOY, SIMPSONS-FANATIKER! Willkommen zu Die Welt der Simpsons, dem ultimativen Episodenführer (Staffel 1 bis 20), dem bis jetzt größten, dicksten und – so man ihn auf euren Kopf fallen ließe – auch tödlichsten Begleitband zur Serie. In diesem tödlichen Klotz von einem Buch findet ihr Insider-Gags, aufdringliche Wortspiele, subtile Anspielungen, uralte Sprüche, prägnante Handlungszusammenfassungen, obskure Derbheiten und subversive Propaganda, die Die Simpsons in den vergangenen mehr als 20 Jahren so beliebt und nervig gemacht haben. Und regt euch gar nicht erst auf, weil diese mächtige Schwarte etwa aus älteren Simpsons-Büchern zusammengebastelt sein könnte. Jede Folge wurde noch einmal gründlich auf neue versteckte Gags abgesucht, und verflixt noch mal, wir haben noch so einige gefunden! Außerdem haben wir jede Menge zusätzliche Witze einbauen können, für die vorher kein Platz war, dazu unzählige neue Zeichnungen, interessante Statistiken und überaus triviale Details. Blättert ruhig ein wenig in diesem Kompendium während der Werbepausen, wenn ihr die 30. Wiederholung der Simpsons seht, aber denkt ja nicht an eure vergängliche Jugend. Glaubt uns, das würde euch nur deprimieren. Obwohl dieses Buch vor allem für die treuesten Simpsons-Fans gestaltet wurde, wird es auch als Referenz für alle Zeichner, Autoren, Produzenten, Designer und Produktionsassistenten der Serie dienen. Ehrlich gesagt arbeiten die meisten von uns schon so lange an den Simpsons, dass wir ein wenig vergesslich werden, und die Informationen in diesem Buch werden uns helfen, unsere erratischen Erinnerungen anzustacheln. Heben wir also das Glas auf 20 Staffeln, die Vergänglichkeit der Jugend, nie enden wollende Abgabetermine, chronische Müdigkeit und ein paar echt gute Lacher.
