The Linguistic Choices in Reproducing Ideology of a Local Folktale

Abstract

. The participants of the study are the students taking Composition II class in English Letters Department, Sanata Dharma University. The students are expected to be able to retell the folktales by their own styles since they learn various styles in composing English texts. Operationally, in this study the participants have to retell the folktale. Later on, the language of the reproduction is observed and compared to the language of the source text. The expected result is that the linguistic selections in the reproduction tend likely to be similar to the linguistic selections in the source text. However, there might be some differences due to the linguistic repertoire of the participants. Hopefully, this paper might be convenient serving as a case of CDA.
