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

This study examines ellipsis in the opening segments (hooks) of TikTok cooking videos by @devina.hermawan and its role in attracting audience attention. Using a mixed-method exploratory sequential design, 17 hooks with ellipsis from videos uploaded during school holidays (2022–2025) were analyzed, followed by a survey of 103 respondents. Ellipsis frequently occurs in declarative sentences with verbal predicates and in complex and compound-complex sentences, making hooks concise and direct. It streamlines utterances while enhancing communicative effects by providing context, emphasizing benefits, and encouraging engagement. Politeness principles, particularly the tact and generosity maxims, dominate, fostering supportive and inclusive interactions. Quantitative analysis confirms that hooks significantly influence audience attraction, though other factors also play a role. This study contributes to understanding ellipsis as a communication strategy in digital culinary content and provides practical insights for designing effective hooks.

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.

Abstract

The Indonesian language is becoming increasingly important globally, creating a growing demand for its instruction, including in France. However, learners often face difficulties due to interference between their mother tongue and the Indonesian language they are learning. While some papers offered solutions to overcome these difficulties, these have tended to concentrate on the linguistic aspects and have overlooked the extralinguistic aspects. This paper seeks to address the issue by examining the extralinguistic aspects found in recordings of 10 Indonesian sentences containing phonemes expected to trigger pronunciation errors and spoken by three Malay-Indonesian studies students from different academic years at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO), from three different college levels. The data was collected through three separate interviews, including the recording of the aforementioned sentences and a discussion about the subjects’ linguistic background. The result was then examined to highlight the extralinguistic and linguistic factors affecting the production of interference. Afterwards, this paper then offers pedagogical suggestions. The study mainly uses phonemic interference and language learning theory, as well as theories related to the psychological and socio-cultural aspects of language learning. This research found that motivation and learning strategy are the two most important variables in the psychological aspect, while input and feedback are the most important aspects in the socio-cultural aspect. Nevertheless, the most decisive factor in Indonesian mastery is the duration of learning.
