Dibuat di Klaten Pada tanggal 8 Februari 2021 Yang menyatakan, Graciella Stephanie Ganadhi vi PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, an immense gratitude to God for giving me the health, resources, and motivation to push through this proses of finishing my thesis. Without his infinite blessings, this thesis would not even materialize. Second, I would like to deliver my deepest gratitude and respect to my thesis advisor, Elisabeth Oseanita Pukan S.S., M.A., for all of her time and efforts in helping me write this thesis. She truly helped me in everything from the writing process to the research and argument development process. I truly do not know if this thesis would be as concise as it is now if not for her advices and suggestions. Also, if it were not for her asking about my writing progress and making me feel slightly guilty for not progressing at all, the board of examiners would not see this thesis as fast as it was. Once again, thank you so much, miss! I would also like to thank Dra. Theresia Enny Anggraini Ph.D., my co- advisor in writing this thesis. She was so detailed that without her, I am sure quite a lot of holes are going to be found in this thesis, so thank you so much for pointing out the lacking parts of this thesis and adding your incredibly helpful suggestions. Continuing on, I have to thank my family, especially my mom for the unlimited free flow of delicious food and snacks while I am slaving away in writing this thesis. This thesis would not be finished if it were not for her food giving me motivation to keep going. Lastly, I would like to deliver my thanks to my friends. Thank you for the occasional “semangat” messages because it keeps me going. Honestly, seeing every one of us struggle to finish our thesis is somehow inspiring for me. We are in this together!
