Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation of culture-bound words in Okky Madasari’s novel Entrok and its English translation, The Years of the Voiceless. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method to identify the translation techniques used and to determine the dominant translation ideology applied in the translation process. The findings reveal that nine translation techniques were used in translating culture-bound words, with adaptation being the most frequently employed technique. The analysis also indicates that domestication is the predominant translation ideology, as most culture-bound words were translated in a way that makes them more accessible to the target language readers. However, some instances of foreignization were also found, particularly when preserving the original cultural meaning was necessary. This study contributes to the field of translation studies by providing insights into how culture-bound words are translated in literary works. Additionally, it has implications for translation education, as understanding these techniques and ideologies can benefit students and translators in dealing with cultural elements in translation.

Abstract

This research investigated how impoliteness strategies and responses were portrayed through Jodi, the main character in the movie Tall Girl (2019). Impoliteness is a part of sociopragmatics because it relates to the social context. Socio-pragmatics can be interpreted as the study of the meaning of speech related to social aspects that cover culture and society, language, social situations, and social classes. This descriptive qualitative analysis identified 24 utterances of impoliteness received by Jodi, which were divided into 6 utterances of bald on record, 6 utterances of positive impoliteness, 6 utterances of negative impoliteness, 5 utterances of sarcasm or mock politeness, and 1 withheld politeness utterance. These utterances most frequently targeted her physical height. In response to impoliteness’s utterances, Jodi employed a range of strategies: at first silence and avoidance, later humour and topic-shifting, and ultimately direct confrontation. This progression illustrated her psychological growth and shifting social power toward confidence and self-acceptance. The whole story in the movie related to the real life of students’ interactions in the school environment. The analysis also highlights the educational value of the movie. The research identified eleven moral values, including bravery, humility, sincerity, trustworthiness, and kindness. These values, demonstrated not only by Jodi but also by her friends and family, reinforce the importance of mutual respect, resilience, and self-acceptance. Overall, the findings suggested that the movie Tall Girl (2019) presents impoliteness both as a realistic reflection of impolite things in social interaction. At the same time, it offered valuable moral lessons that can be learned by the teachers and students in socio-pragmatics fields.
