Abstract

Translating news reports can hardly be free from subjectivity, especially in relation to a conflict, since the opposing ideology often creates friction that necessitates translators to assume complex and multifaceted roles. The concept of positioning refers to participants’ attitudes or stances toward the event or other participants in the event which significantly influences the interpretation of a text. The objective of this study is to examine the positioning regarding Hamas in a parallel corpus-based Israel-Palestine conflict. The corpus comprises 160 articles that have been translated from English to Indonesian. The researcher applied the evaluative model proposed by Pan and Liao (2020), that integrated CDA (Fairclough, 2013), Appraisal Theory (Martin & White, 2005), and Narrative Theory (Baker, 2006). It was found that the translators intentionally and carefully (re)positioned of Hamas by implementing a discursive strategy called redacted labelling in their actual activities. This can be done by omitting, adding, softening, and even strengthening the word construction embedded in these elements. The activities were motivated by the political stance of the news organization as determined by its official identity, media discourse counterpoints, the situation of the political of Indonesia toward the conflict, and their expectations of the reaction of the target audience. Examining news translation using CDA adds to translation theory by providing a critical perspective on how non-linguistic elements like ideology, power, and culture influence the translation process. It provides a more in-depth understanding of the translator's position as an agent who translates meanings, values, and worldviews as well as words.

Abstract

The concept of peace remains contested, particularly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where it is framed either as national security or as justice and self-determination. This study investigates how Indonesian Presiden Prabowo Subianto discursively constructs the idea of peace in 2024 inauguration speech, reflecting Indonesia’s long-standing commitment to anti-colonialism and Palestinian independence. Using a transdisciplinary critical discourse analysis that integrates systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and argumentation theory, the research identifies how values, goals, circumstances, means-goals, and claims are articulated linguistically to legitimize Indonesian’s foreign policy stance. The findings show that peace is framed through anti-colonial values, the pursuit of Palestinian sovereignty, recognition of ongoing humanitarian crisis, and the principle of “free and active” foreign policy. Prabowo employs relational and material process, inclusive pronouns, and high modality language to construct solidarity as both a moral leader of the Global South. These challenging dominant global narratives equate peace with security while ignoring structural injustices. While the study demonstrates the role of political speeches in shaping collective moral visions, its reliance on a single speech limits the scope and generalizability of the analysis. Future research should expand to include comparative discourse from multiple leaders and contexts, as well as media framing, to better understand how peace is discursively negotiated across geopolitical landscapes.

Abstract

Aturan penggunaan tanda pisah dalam bahasa Indonesia telah tertulis dalam Pedoman Umum Ejaan Bahasa Indonesia (PUEBI). Akan tetapi, di dalam artikel jurnalistik dan karya sastra, penggunaan tanda pisah memiliki fungsi dan konvensi tersendiri. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan perbandingan penggunaan tanda pisah dalam artikel jurnalistik dan karya sastra Indonesia serta kesesuaiannya dengan PUEBI. Data yang digunakan adalah korpus jurnalistik dan korpus sastra yang telah dikumpulkan dalam mata kuliah Kapita Selekta Linguistik, Program Studi Sastra Indonesia, Universitas Indonesia, tahun ajaran 2016. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan analisis isi. Ditinjau dari kesesuaiannya dengan kaidah dalam PUEBI, hasil penelitian menunjukkan fungsi penggunaan tanda pisah dalam artikel jurnalistik dan karya sastra Indonesia sama dengan aturan penggunaan tanda pisah dalam PUEBI yaitu dipakai di antara dua bilangan yang berarti ‘sampai dengan’ atau ‘sampai ke’. Adapun fungsi penggunaan tanda pisah di luar PUEBI, di antaranya digunakan untuk memisahkan nama hari dan tempat penerbitan berita dengan paragraf awal berita, menjadi pengganti kata lain yang dapat disubstitusikan, dan menambah nilai estetika atau nilai rasa pembaca. Penelitian ini perlu ditindaklanjuti dengan kajian pemakaian tanda pisah pada genre wacana yang lain.
