Narrative Text: A Gender Perspective.
Skripsi thesis, Universitas Negeri Padang.
Abstract
This research aims to examine what are stylistic features used by male and female
in character-based narrative and to find out how male and female undergraduate
students communicate the moral lesson based on the character-based narrative
written. The research uses descriptive qualitative research design, employing
document analysis of character-based narrative texts which were written by male
and female English Literature students. The data were analysed by using codedstylistic
features
adopted
from
Rubin
&
Greene
(1992).
The
result
of
the
analysis
shows
that
from
character-based
narrative
written
by
male
and
female
groups,
for
the
male groups, they are using more numbers in egocentric sequences, modal
adjuncts and perceptual verbs. Meanwhile, the other 13 features; refusals, illative
connectives, adversative connectives, causal connectives, additive connectives,
temporal connectives, conditional connectives, first-person pronouns, secondperson
pronouns, intensifiers, de-intensifiers, proximals and auxiliaries of
possibility are more used by female groups in writing character-based narrative text.
Meanwhile, from the way male and female groups communicate the moral lesson,
the results show that male groups communicate the moral lesson simpler and in the
implicit conclusion. Female groups communicate the moral lesson with a complex
sentence and tend to waffle.
