Abstract

The 2027 French presidential election has become a contest over political legitimacy, and the media play a key role in shaping candidates’ images. Within the right-wing camp, Rassemblement National (RN) presents two potential figures, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. Le Pen faces legal threats that could prevent her candidacy, while Bardella is projected as a successor to represent RN in the contest. Drawing on framing theory Pan & Kosicki (1993) and Critical Discourse Analysis Fairclough (1995), this qualitative study investigates right-wing French media preferences between these two candidates. The analysis examines three articles each from Le Figaro and Le Point. Framing analysis finds that Le Figaro places Le Pen at the center through syntactic framing that reinforces her legitimacy. By contrast, Le Point foregrounds Bardella’s readiness and leadership capacity through marked rhetorical structures. CDA corroborates these results by revealing divergent editorial focuses. At the macro level, Le Figaro projects a populist image by positioning Le Pen as RN’s emblematic opposition to the government, whereas Le Point exemplifies RN’s de-demonization by giving Bardella space to craft a more moderate, broadly acceptable party image. These findings offer practical guidance for politicians seeking targeted media engagement.

Abstract

Since COVID-19, Zoom has become the primary distance communication platform integrated with automatic transcription tools such as Otter and Descript. However, meetings involving non-native French speakers can generate sound interference that reduces transcription accuracy. This study compares the automatic French transcription quality of both tools in corporate online meetings affected by interference from native Indonesian speakers. The data consists of online meeting recordings of Indonesian speakers in French based on the textbook, Affaires.com. The analysis applies Weinreich’s (2010) interference theory, Le Querler’s (1994) word class theory, Word Error Rate, and Tholly et al.’s (2025) severity levels of automatic French transcription errors. The results show that both tools produced accurate transcriptions in the 10% error range, with Otter (10.18%) being slightly more accurate than Descript (10.22%). Regarding interference, phonetic–non-phonemic errors were the easiest to handle, while phonological–grammatical errors were the most difficult for both tools. Most of Otter’s errors fall into the most severe Fail category, causing incomprehensibility, influenced by its stronger language understanding. Meanwhile, Descript shows more Gram-level errors, which remain understandable but reflect weaker language understanding. Therefore, Otter is recommended for its stronger language comprehension, whereas Descript is recommended because its errors are still intelligible.

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain the characteristics of verb structure in the speech of Indonesian speakers with Broca’s aphasia and their relation to the Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH) and grammatical encoding. There are three questions, namely the interrelationships of verbs and syntactic functions, interrelationship of verbs and semantic functions, and the contribution to the ASCH and grammatical coding. Eight participants took part, divided into four with aphasia and four Non-Brain Damaged (NBD) participants as controls. The research used an experimental research method. The instruments were five images adapting Cookie Theft (an instrument used in an aphasia test in various languages) and 3 instructions to tell about daily activities. The results showed that participants with aphasia tended to use verbs in simpler structures than controls. Therefore, this study supports the ASCH about the argument simplification and tendency of grammatical coding problems, important as coming from Indonesian, an Austronesian language. Clinical implications are discussed. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan karakteristik struktur verba dalam tuturan spontan penutur Bahasa Indonesia dengan afasia Broca dan hubungannya dengan Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH) dan pengkodean gramatikal. Ada tiga pertanyaan penelitian, yaitu keterkaitan verba dan fungsi sintaksis, keterkaitan verba dan fungsi semantik, dan kontribusi terhadap ASCH dan pengkodean gramatikal. Delapan peserta ikut serta, dibagi menjadi empat dengan afasia dan empat peserta tanpa gangguan syaraf (Non-Brain Damaged: NBD) sebagai kontrol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lima buah gambar yang mengadaptasi Cookie Theft (instrumen dalam tes afasia lintas bahasa) serta tiga buah instruksi untuk bercerita tentang kegiatan sehari-hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peserta dengan afasia cenderung menggunakan verba dalam struktur yang lebih sederhana daripada peserta NBD. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mendukung ASCH tentang penyederhanaan argumen dan kecenderungan terjadinya masalah pengkodean gramatikal. Dukungan ini penting karena datang dari Bahasa Indonesia yang merupakan bahasa rumpun Austronesia. Implikasi klinis juga disarankan.

Abstract

Translation quality assessment is based on the translator’s fulfillment in transferring the message. In the case of translating satire, it must consider adequacy aspects. This paper aims to analyze the translation of satirical utterances using the perspective of relevance theory. Based on this theory, the translation satire and its source expression should result in similar interpretations. The translators are not only required to translate the messages of the satire from the source text (ST) into the target text (TT), but they must also produce interpretative resemblance of the same relevance degree. This research uses qualitative method and aims to analyze the degree of relevance in the translation of satire. The data used satire in Animal Farm and its translation in the Binatangisme novel. The satirical utterance in the ST will be analyzed employing the satire classification. The findings indicate that degree of relevance determines the interpretative resemblance, the similarity of implicated conclusion, and success of communication. The degree of relevance contributes to the translation of satire.

Abstract

The distinctiveness of style and expression in poetry is often reflected in literary movements such as symbolism, using symbols to bridge the real world and the world of ideas while emphasizing musicality in verse. Verlaine frequently explored themes of love in his works. His poem Le Rossignol portrays the experience of losing a first love and transforms it into a universal symbol of human suffering. This study examines the representation of lost first love through a qualitative textual approach, drawing on the theories of poetry to analyze structure as a unified whole and of sound to assess vocal and consonantal musicality. The findings reveal that loss is expressed through alliteration, assonance, rhyme, and metrical freedom, while natural symbols such as the bird, tree, and moon project the poet’s inner state. Thus, Le Rossignol demonstrates how Verlaine employs sound and symbolism to articulate first love as an existential reflection on melancholy.
