Abstract

Taboo expressions in language are often considered inappropriate because they may violate norms of politeness and certain cultural values. In the context of audiovisual translation, particularly film subtitling, taboo expressions are frequently not translated explicitly. This practice is known as the taboo censorship strategy. This study aims to examine the forms of taboo expressions, the application of taboo censorship strategies, and the factors underlying their use in the film Pengepungan di Bukit Duri. The study adopts a qualitative approach using descriptive, comparative, and interpretative methods. The data consist of taboo expressions found in the dialogue of the film Pengepungan di Bukit Duri along with their translations in Arabic subtitles. Data were collected through viewing and note-taking techniques and were analyzed using an interactive data analysis model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the subtitle translator of Pengepungan di Bukit Duri employed taboo censorship strategies in translating various types of taboo expressions, including those related to animals, mental disorders, and sexual organs and acts. The application of this strategy is influenced by differences in politeness norms between the source and target cultures, the need to soften expressions through euphemism, and the technical constraints of subtitling, which require messages to be conveyed concisely and clearly. Thus, the translator functions as a cultural mediator who seeks to balance fidelity to the source text with social and cultural acceptability for the target audience.

Abstract

This study investigates the semantic roles of subjects in Arabic triliteral verbs employing a grammatical semantic analysis framework. Unlike traditional assumptions, subjects in verbal clauses do not uniformly function as agents; instead, they manifest diverse semantic roles—including experiencer, patient, theme, and recipient—determined by the verb's specific vowel pattern. Adopting a qualitative methodology, primary data were extracted from Auzānu al-Af'āl wa Ma'ānīhā (Patterns of Verbs and Their Meanings) by Hasyim Taha Syalasy, a comprehensive reference on Arabic verbal morphology. Data collection utilized a documentation method, incorporating systematic observation and note-taking techniques to compile relevant verbal constructions. Subsequent analysis applied a distributional approach via immediate constituent analysis, facilitating precise classification of grammatical functions and semantic mappings. Key findings delineate semantic preferences across the six canonical vowel patterns of basic triliteral verbs: fa'ala–yaf'ulu and fa'ala–yaf'alu predominantly realize subjects as agents in transitive contexts; fa'ala–yaf'ilu, fa'ila–yaf'alu, and fa'ila–yaf'ilu exhibit experiencer or patient roles, often in psychological or perceptual predicates; while fa'ula–yaf'ulu consistently presents subjects as themes or experiencers within stative scenarios. These role assignments are modulated by factors such as verb transitivity, inherent lexical semantics, and the integration of embedded objects.

Abstract

Differences and changes in meaning in the translation of Qur’anic terms have the potential to influence the understanding of religious concepts, particularly in the field of Islamic economic law. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the transformation of the meaning of tijārah in Qur’anic translations across two versions, namely the colonial and contemporary translations, and analyzes the factors causing this transformation as well as its implications for the understanding and construction of Islamic economic law. The data of this study consist of the word tijārah in the Qur’an along with its two translation versions, namely the colonial translation by Mahmud Yunus and the contemporary translation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The data collection technique employs observation and note-taking methods, while data analysis is conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three patterns of transformation, namely stability, de-explicitation, and lexical shift. These transformations are influenced by translation ideology, language development, socio-historical context, and the epistemology of Islamic law. This study concludes that translation is ideological in nature and has implications for the understanding of contracts (ʿaqd), the concept of profit, legal flexibility, and the space for contemporary ijtihād in Islamic economic law.
