Abstract

Translation is process of transferring messages from the source language into the target language. The process of transferring message from the source language needs certain strategy. Shifts can be avoided occurring in translation to achieve equivalence between the source language and the target language. This research would like to explore the level of equivalence by getting shifts from the source language into the target language in the book entitled “Mengapa Bali Disebut Pulau Seribu Pura”. The book is written in two languages, English serves as the source language, while Indonesia serves as the target language. The clauses used in the source language gets shift in the equivalence in the target language. Therefore, the shifts explored in the translation are argument shifts involving; participant, process, and circumstance. The theory used to explore shifts found in the target language is Systemic Functional Linguistics theory especially ideational function. This research uses qualitative approach, grounded theory, namely to improve theory of SFL in translation field. The data used for this research were clauses getting shifts in the book such as; participant, process, and circumstance. The result of this research is presented in description supporting with the tables of the source and the target languages. The tables involve the arguments in the clauses getting shifts. The tables are supported by the description. the result of this research shows that the shifts occur in the participant, process, and circumstance. The shifts occurring in participants indicate that shifts in functions of participant since the function of participant is influenced by shifts in the process. The shifts occurring in process indicate the absence of modality and shifts in type of activities. The shifts occurring in circumstance indicate shifts in tense so the meaning of the text become far equivalence. This research is categorised as applied linguistics research so this research has significance for; translation studies, Systemic Functional Linguistics, semiotic, and teaching. This research is expected to add linguistics library so this research can be used as reference for the following translation research. This research is expected to be able to trigger other translation and Systemic Functional Linguistics researchers so the translation and Systemic Functional fields become more popular in the study. In addition, the research is expected to give some knowledge for the communities that translation is not the same word, but the shifts can occur which cause far equivalence.

Abstract

This literature review examines code-switching phenomena among Indonesian millennials in social media contexts, synthesizing existing research to understand patterns of language variation and multilingual communication practices in digital environments. The study employs a qualitative library research methodology, analyzing peer-reviewed academic sources published between 2010-2024 from major databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review identifies three primary code-switching patterns: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag-switching, with Indonesian millennials demonstrating sophisticated multilingual competence across platforms. Key findings reveal that code-switching serves multiple functions including social identity construction, emotional expression, and audience accommodation, with significant variations across different social media platforms. Instagram exhibits high English-Indonesian mixing for aesthetic and global appeal, Twitter shows complex multilingual combinations due to character constraints, Facebook demonstrates more formal patterns for diverse audiences, and TikTok enables innovative multilingual performances. The analysis reveals that theoretical frameworks such as Markedness Theory, Social Network Theory, and Identity Theory require adaptation for digital contexts. Significant research gaps include insufficient longitudinal studies, limited regional comparative analysis. The review concludes that Indonesian millennials use code-switching as a deliberate communicative strategy rather than linguistic deficiency, challenging traditional deficit models and supporting additive multilingualism perspectives. These findings have important implications for educational policy, cross-cultural communication training, and digital literacy development, suggesting the need for more inclusive language policies that recognize multilingual digital competencies as valuable linguistic resources.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the narrative structure in the short story The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield, focusing on storytelling elements such as orientation, complication, resolution, and reorientation. The story portrays social inequality through the perspective of the main character, Laura, a young girl from an upper-class family who experiences an internal crisis when confronted with the harsh realities of working-class life. This study employs a qualitative approach with a grounded theory method to analyze the narrative structure in the short story The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield. Data collection techniques include documentation, in-depth textual study, and content analysis of the literary work. The narrative structure theories of Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov are used to reveal how Mansfield constructs the plot and builds emotional tension as well as the character’s social awareness. The findings show that Mansfield effectively employs narrative structure techniques to create a psychological transformation in the protagonist while delivering a contextual social critique of the upper class's indifference toward the suffering of the lower class. This study contributes to modern literary studies and broadens readers’ understanding of storytelling techniques in modern literature.
