“…In doing so the narrator used the characters' name more than the pronoun (dia=he/she). The narrative in Lontong Cap Go Meh, on the other hand, is told through figural narrative situation (Klarer, 1999); the main characters (Lily and Nissa) tell and show how/what they are feeling and what they are doing. In Misteri di Pasar Terapung there are 51 clauses identified, forty nine of them are in the form of statements and only two are in the form of questions.…”

Recent understanding as strongly believed by studies investigating the interactive or interpersonal meanings of images in such printed texts as textbooks and picturebooks shows that interpersonal relation can be established not only through verbal sentences as the primarily representational mode of our experiences but can also be represented through visual forms such as photographs and pictures. Further, studies on how meanings are represented through verbal and visual modes have revealed how readers' experiences and readers' social roles in relation to the content of the texts are constructed. The construction of readers' social roles through the use of images in printed texts has been regarded to be parallel with how interactants' social position is enacted in direct communication relying on the use of verbal sentences. In Indonesian contexts, however, studies on how verbal and visual modes represent experiences and construct social position of the interactants seem to be underexplored. The present study examined three Indonesian picturebooks using the perspectives of multimodality and reported how the children's experiences were represented through the verbal and the visual modes used, and how these two semiotic resources represented the social relationship between the characters in the picturebook and the potential readers of the books. The examination of the verbal texts has been focused on the clauses as the building blocks of the texts by identifying the participants, process types, circumstances, and clause types. The examination of the pictures has been focused on such visual elements as who/what are in the picture, what activities taking place, the attributes possessed by the represented participants, and the circumstances. In addition, how the represented participants address the viewers was also examined. The results of the analysis show that ideationally the narrative is mostly centered around the activities done by and to children, which are presented as an offer to the readers. Verbally and visually the represented participants are socially equal to the children readers. The three picturebooks are excellent examples of picturebooks that present a narrative of Indonesian children designed for young readers because of their simple vocabulary, simply-constructed Indonesian grammar employed, and simple yet interesting plot they deal with.

“…In fact, there occurs a double search on the part of the reader, the search for the person of the grandfather and the search for the special qualities of the narrative technique employed for such captivating effects. So, that is the reason why stylistics is adopted as the right approach in the study of the narrative technique employed in the story The Grandfather, focusing specifically on the idiosyncrasy of the language use in the text of the story (Verdonk, 2002;Klarer, 2004).While adopting the theory of stylistics as theoretical approach, the analysis will be descriptively and qualitatively done. With this method of analysis the researcher is central to the process because the researcher serves both as the instrument for relevantly selecting the data according to the need of the analysis and as interpreter for the meaningfulness of the data under analysis (Nunan, 1994).…”

This study on "The Narrative Technique in Winnie Eads' Short Story The Grandfather: A Stylistic Approach" takes as its focus the narrative technique which generates the aesthetic effects of the story. The narrative technique designed to be adopted for the narration of the story in the first person and merely by a kid narrator necessarily integrates into itself the language style which is constituted by such specific use of language (English) to suit the aesthetic need of the narration. The aesthetic effect achieved through the fusion of the child first-person narration and the specific language style in the story is one in the form of aesthetics of realism, particularly realism in the characterization of the grandfather as the main character and of Pete as the child narrator, which constitutes the attractiveness of the story. Using a stylistic approach in the analysis of the narration, this article isaimed at revealing how the specific language use in the short story The Grandfather constitutes a quite effective device for aesthetic achievement. Keywords short story, stylistic approach, narrative technique, aesthetic effect Background and ProblemsThe potential for the short story The Grandfather (by Winnie Eads) to leave deep impression on the part of the reader is very strong through the narrative technique employed in the narration. The likely factors causing such deep impression can be identified as being manifested by (1) the person of the narrator herself, and (2) the mode of narration she adopts, both of which in their integration succeed in rewarding the reader with certain benefits while reading the story, such benefits as (1) entertainment, and (2) lesson of life, which constitute two basic functions of literature already proposed by Horace as dulce and utile since the Graeco-Roman era (Wellek & Warren, 1955, p. 20). In this way the reader is really put in a position richly provided for by the world of the fiction for a better insight into understanding and improving the quality of life in the world of reality (the reader's practical world). mean for Pete to find herself given such a name? These questions on the part of the reader signal the reader's intense curiosity about a lot of things in the story, and it is this tension which serves as a guarantee for the reader's becoming seriously engaged in reading the story to the end, anticipating a shocking confirmation or negation of what is being expected. This is all an effect achieved through the technique of narration designed by the author and successfully delegated to and executed by the narrator in the story. Due to such narration the reader becomes lulled by the narrator's very expressive eloquence and challenged by the puzzling behavior of the grandfather, the central character of the story.When getting absorbed in the story the reader tends to forget that behind all of the narrator's skill of narration there is the author (Winnie Eads) who is the architect of all the necessary means employed in the narration, that is, all the devices, the...
