Abstract

This study explores politeness strategies in conversations about transgender perspectives, using Brown and Levinson's (1987) framework. The research employed a qualitative method, analyzing recorded conversations between male and female participants discussing transgender issues from social and religious perspectives. The analysis identifies four main strategies: positive politeness, negative politeness, bald-on record, and off-record. Positive politeness was the most frequently used strategy, with male speakers employing it 14 times and female speakers 7 times, primarily through agreement, repetition, and joking. Negative politeness strategies appeared 10 times, equally distributed between genders, using indirectness and questions. Bald-on record strategies were used 14 times, mostly by female speakers, indicating their tendency for direct communication. The off-record strategy was minimally used, occurring only once by a male speaker. The study finds that participants' close relationships and shared knowledge facilitated the frequent use of positive politeness and bald-on record strategies. Notably, male speakers were more polite, often using positive politeness, while female speakers were more direct and explicit, especially on sensitive topics. This research highlights the influence of social dynamics and cultural norms on politeness strategies in discussions about transgender issues.

Abstract

Technological advances have made the ability to translate no longer exclusively belong to humans. Today, machine translation has turned into a tool with superior performance to convert text between languages without the need for human intervention. One of the translation research foci is the studies of causative translation, especially from English to several other languages. Yet, it might be interesting to compare the translation of that topic by human and machine translation. This study investigates the comparison of Google Translate and humans in terms of causative translation from English into Indonesian. The data were obtained from six English novels and their translations in Indonesian. To analyze the data, 100 clauses with causative have and get were selected from English novels and translated by Google Translate into Indonesian. The result showed that the translation and strategies used between Google Translate of causative have and get had similarity with human translation in relation to causative-to-causative translation. Through the investigation, the result is expected to be beneficial for further studies in the translation of causative have and get related to their translations into Indonesian analytic or morphological causative. Furthermore, the result of strategies compared is expected to be beneficial to the translation study regarding machine and human translation in causative, especially from English into Indonesian.

Abstract

English Language Anxiety (ELA) remains a significant psychological barrier for learners in Indonesia, particularly in the context of performance-based assessments. This study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool to mitigate this anxiety, focusing on student perceptions and the relevance of specific AI features. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 90 high school students in Bandung using a questionnaire that integrated the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that students experience high levels of performance anxiety, especially when speaking without preparation. Results indicate a strong positive perception of AI's ability to create a low-stress environment, primarily by reducing the fear of making mistakes (Mean=3.67). Concerning the most relevant AI features, the capability for L1 scaffolding—explaining concepts in Indonesian—was deemed most crucial (Mean=3.88), highlighting its role in alleviating cognitive anxiety. However, a significant concern regarding the transferability of AI-practiced skills to real human interaction was identified (Mean=3.56), moderating the overall perceived efficacy of AI for anxiety reduction. The study concludes that AI is a highly effective affective tool for safe practice but must be integrated within a hybrid pedagogical model that bridges the gap between AI-assisted learning and authentic social communication to fully address the multifaceted nature of foreign language anxiety.

Abstract

Abstract Translating humor, particularly dark humor, poses considerable challenges in audiovisual translation because its comic effect depends on cultural references, pragmatic meaning, and audience tolerance for taboo subjects. While prior research has largely focused on classifying translation techniques, comparatively little attention has been paid to whether these techniques actually preserve humorous effect. This study examines how English dark jokes are translated into Indonesian subtitles in the animated series Rick and Morty, focusing on the strategies used and the extent to which they maintain the original humorous effect. Using a qualitative descriptive design, five purposively selected dark-joke instances from five episodes on the official Prime Video platform were analyzed through Chiaro's (2006) framework of humor translation techniques and Nida's (1964) concept of dynamic equivalence. The findings show that literal translation, adaptation, modulation, and omission are the main strategies employed by the translator. Adaptation and modulation prove most effective when cultural or pragmatic differences prevent literal rendering, whereas omission tends to weaken comic impact despite retaining propositional meaning. Four of the five translations achieved full or near-full dynamic equivalence. These results suggest that preserving dark humor requires prioritizing pragmatic and emotional equivalence over lexical correspondence, offering practical implications for translators working with culturally sensitive comedic content. Keywords: audiovisual translation; dark humor; dynamic equivalence; subtitle translation; Rick and Morty

Abstract

This study investigates the translation of metaphor, hyperbole, and irony in the Indonesian translation of the popular Webtoon Lookism, addressing the vulnerability of non-literal language in multimodal media where text and image are inseparable. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a comparative analysis of 23 figurative instances from the first 20 episodes, data were categoried using Molina and Albir's (2002) translation taxonomy and interpreted through Audiovisual Translation principles and Barthes' (1977) concept of visual anchorage. The key finding is that strategy selection is systematically governed by figurative type and its multimodal interaction. Metaphors show a dichotomy: Literal Translation for universal concepts versus adaptive strategies for culture-specific ones. Notably, irony relies predominantly on Literal Translation (71% of cases)—a strategy enabled by visual context providing essential pragmatic cues. Hyperbole requires Modulation and Equivalence to recalibrate expressive intensity for the target culture. This study's specific novelty lies in three contributions: (1) it extends Molina and Albir's taxonomy by demonstrating that strategy viability is contingent on multimodal support—a dimension absent in text-only translation; (2) it empirically validates Barthes' visual anchorage in the underexplored context of digital comics, showing that static images actively constrain linguistic choices; and (3) it provides the first systematic mapping of how metaphor, hyperbole, and irony each predict distinct strategic patterns in Indonesian Webtoon translation. This study contributes to translation theory by reframing figurative language translation as a multimodal negotiation rather than a purely linguistic transfer, and offers practical, evidence-based guidance for localizers of graphic narratives on how visual elements systematically influence translation strategy selection.

Abstract

Audiovisual translation increasingly carries intercultural narratives across languages, yet how subtitlers balance comprehensibility against cultural authenticity when a single film moves through several source cultures at once remains underexamined, particularly in the Indonesian context. This gap matters because most existing Indonesian subtitling studies isolate a single culture or strategy, leaving unanswered how domestication and foreignization are negotiated jointly within one multicultural narrative. This study addresses that gap by examining how domestication and foreignization strategies are applied to culture-specific items (CSIs) drawn from Italy, India, and Bali in the Indonesian subtitles of Eat Pray Love (2010), and how the two strategies jointly shape cultural transfer for Indonesian viewers. The primary data source was the film's official Indonesian subtitles; fifteen CSIs were purposively selected as the unit of analysis based on cultural salience, absence of a direct Indonesian equivalent, and narrative importance. Each item was transcribed alongside its English source line and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive design guided by Pedersen's (2011) subtitling taxonomy, with classification cross-checked by two raters to strengthen credibility. Domestication was applied to 11 items (73%), mainly through adaptation (6 instances) and paraphrase (4 instances), supporting comprehension of unfamiliar rituals and concepts. Foreignization accounted for 4 items (27%), realized through retention, calque, and gloss, reserved chiefly for well-known foods, proper names, and religious references to preserve cultural authenticity. The study's novel contribution is showing that this choice is category-sensitive rather than uniform: greetings and rituals were consistently domesticated, while person and religious names were foreignized in every instance, a pattern not previously documented in a single multicultural film corpus. This indicates that subtitlers act as active cultural mediators whose strategic choices track the type of cultural item at stake, balancing accessibility with preservation of cultural identity.
