Course Synopsis
The course will explore more critically
and in greater depth several selected
texts from the Nusantara literature
(both prose and verse forms),
beginning from the classical age (14th19th
Cent)
to
modern
and
contemporary time. To optimize the
appreciation of the texts, both
contextual approach, which gives
importance to aspects of authorship
and the cultural-historical milieu; and
textual approach, which focuses on
genre (convention and poetics),
structure (themes and
narrative
techniques) and form (style) will be
used. Based on the two approaches,
texts will be analysed through selected
reading theories. The analysis will
attempt to delineate the uniqueness of
these texts as the creative and
intellectual products of the Malays in
the Nusantara region.
This seminar will introduce crosscultural themes in the study of South
East Asian Literatures. It is orientated
towards the comparison of works of
literature that cross barriers and
borders of tradition and culture that is
evidenced by selected cross-cultural
discourses. Among the topics for
discussion are history, identity, the
local
and
national philosophies, poetics and
concept of beauty, the system of
justice, nationalism and patriotism. For
texts
a
selection
of
works
from traditional literature (hikayat,
pantun, Panji, history, law and religion)
and modern literature (the novel, short
stories and poetry) will be used. A
comparative study of literary works will
enhance a greater understanding of the
cultural life-styles and literary traditions
of Southeast Asians that are enriched
by elements from outside the region.
Course Synopsis
This course has both a theoretical and
applied orientation. Its objective is to
enable the students to deepen their
understanding of a number of
theoretical and methodological aspects

Kursus ini memperkenalkan pelajar
kepada dua aspek utama dalam kajian
sistem bunyi bahasa, iaitu aspek
penyebutan dan aspek pencerakinan
bunyi secara bersistem. Dalam aspek
fonetik, pelajar akan diperkenalkan
kepada
pencerakinan
bunyi
dan
membuat transkripsi fonetik dengan
menggunakan
Lambang
Fonetik
Antarabangsa (International Phonetic
Alphabet). Dalam aspek fonologi pula,
pelajar akan didedahkan kepada nahu
bahasa khususnya bahasa Melayu
dengan meneliti proses-proses fonologi
dan teori-teori fonologi, iaitu teori Atur
Rumus dan teori Autosegmental.

Penyelidikan
Linguistik
Kursus ini menyentuh kaedah penyelidikan
linguistik dari sudut kualitatif dan kuantitatif.
Dalam kaedah kualitatif, langkah-langkah
penyelidikan yang biasa diamalkan akan
disentuh bagi kegunaan dalam penyelidikan
pemerian fonologi, morfologi, sintaksis,
pragmatik, semantik, linguistik terapan,
sosiolinguistik, psikolinguistik dan wacana.
Antara yang disentuh termasuk mengenal
pasti isu-isu dan permasalahan, pemilihan
tajuk, tinjauan kajian lepas, mengenal pasti
teori yang akan digunakan sebagai "tools",
mencari dan mengumpulkan data, membina
hipotesis/persoalan kajian, definisi-definisi,
organisasi, perujukan (citation), penyediaan
abstrak dan penyediaan bibliografi.

soal selidik, sekala, populasi, pensampelan,
pemboleh ubah (variables: independent dan
dependent), pemahaman tentang mean,
varian, standard deviation, berbagai-bagai
ujian dan erti signifikan dalam hubungan
korelasi antara pemboleh ubah, opsyen
pelbagai analisis, persembahan data (graf,
histogram, taburan peratusan, pai, dll.).
Aspek pemerolehan bahasa menyentuh
tentang beberapa teori/pendekatan kajian,
peluang kajian (bahasa pertama/kedua)
dalam bahasa Melayu.
Aspek sosiolinguistik menyentuh beberapa

dengan ciri-ciri sintaksis bahasabahasa tabii yang lain, terutamanya
sintaksis Bahasa Inggeris. Kajian
linguistik yang didasarkan kepada
pendekatan ini telah cuba mencirikan
tatabahasa semua bahasa tabii
dengan
menggunakan
prinsip
sejagat yang dikongsi oleh semua
bahasa, dan seperangkat parameter
yang membezakan satu bahasa
daripada bahasa yang lain.
Sistem tatabahasa BM (khususnya
aspek sintaksis) akan dibincangkan
dan diteliti berdasarkan kerangka

pattern and type of language used. At
the end of the course, students will be
able to understand several types of
sociolinguistic relationship and the
phenomena that occurred, understand
several theories built from those
sociolinguistic relationships, and will be
able to apply sociolinguistic theories in
analyzing
data

and
quantitative
research
methodologies in linguistics. Research
procedures in qualitative method will
be based on the analysis of phonology,
morphology,
syntax,
semantics,
pragmatics, discourse, sociolinguistics
and psycholinguistics. Some of the
topics discussed are: identifying issues
and research questions, literature
survey, choice of topics, identification
of theoretical framework, development

MASTER OF ARTS (SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY)
Today, history has become an increasingly important element in nation building.
The significance given to the teaching of history as a subject in the national
education system well reflects this truth. As such, it is pertinent that practitioners
of history are provided with the right training so that they are able to contribute
to nation building, besides participating in issues related to history. However, the
existing training and courses offered are not sufficient enough to impart the
required knowledge. The Master of Arts in Southeast Asian programme aims at
overcoming this limitation.
This Master of Arts in Southeast Asian programme is offered both full-time and
part-time. It is conducted on the mixed-mode format that involves course work
and research. For every paper taken the students are required to attend lectures,
participate in tutorials, submit an essay and sit for the final examinations.
Candidates are required to accumulate a total of 40 units as prerequisite for
degree conferment which are distributed as follows:

Psychology and
Sociology of
Language
Course Synopsis
The course covers the sociological and
psychological dimensions of language.
The sociological dimension discusses
the relationship between language and
society and social issues relating to
language. It deals with how language
is used in multilingual speech
communities, explains the varying
patterns of language use, examines
social reasons for language change,
looks into how and why different racial
and social groups develop and maintain
speech variation. It will take account of
both individual and community – wide
attitudes, assumptions and motivations
directed not only to the choice of
linguistic repertoire but also to those
who make the choices.
The psychological dimension discusses
the theories of learning and the major
contemporary issues relating to the
psychological foundations of language.
It deals with the behaviourists’ views on
language acquisition especially the
views of Skinner, Watson and Pavlov;
the views of the cognitive psychologists
such as Piaget and the cognitiveinnateness hypothesis of linguists-cumpsychologists such as Chomsky, Slobin
and McNeill. It examines the second
language learning theories of Krashen,
Selinker and others. It looks into
human language processing including
perception and production of speech
and writing as well as the instrumental
and integrative motivation towards
language learning.

Perspectives in
English Language
Studies: Literacy
and Literary
Course Synopsis
The course familiarises students with
theoretical and research issues
related to literacy and literature.
Specific techniques and methods
appropriate for use in the Malaysian
context will also be examined.
Among the areas related to literacy
are domains of literacy, academic
literacy,
gender
and
literacy,
historical aspects of literacy and
social aspects of literacy.
This course will also explore the
interface of literacy and literature. In
this regard attention would be given
to the following aspects:
i.
literature and its role in
promoting the reading habit
specifically from the perspective
of text selection and cultural and
linguistic diversity.
ii.
interrogating the discourse of
literary texts in terms of
subjectivity
and
reading
protocols thereby sensitising
readers to the ideological nature
of literary discourse and how
language operates to reinforce
particular world views and in the
process marginalize particular
sections of the community.
