Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness and accuracy of Google Translate and Systran in translating Japanese to English, focusing on syntactic and semantic error patterns. It evaluates the translation quality of the text 音楽のテンポが経済的意 思決定に及ぼす影響 “Ongaku no tenpo ga keizaiteki ishi kettei ni oyobosu eikyou” (The Effect of Music Tempo on Economic Decision-Making) by Kobayashi, Fujikawa, and Foo (2012). The methodology employs a qualitative approach, categorizing errors based on syntactic and semantic criteria. Despite advancements in Neural Machine Translation (NMT), challenges remain in achieving accurate and contextually appropriate translations, particularly for complex language pairs like Japanese-English. The study highlights the persistent issues in maintaining syntactic and semantic accuracy in translations produced by Google Translate and Systran. It underscores the importance of Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) to enhance translation quality. The findings reveal that while MT systems have significantly improved, human intervention remains essential to address nuanced linguistic and cultural elements. The research emphasizes the relevance of Machine- Aided Human Translation (MAHT) as a balanced approach, combining the efficiency of MT with human expertise to ensure high-quality translations. This approach is crucial for fostering better cross-cultural communication and understanding in the translation industry.

Abstract

The proverb hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi highlights the significance of cherry blossoms (sakura) as the pinnacle of Japanese aesthetics and floral symbolism. This paper constructed a discourse analysis of cherry blossoms portrayed in the haiku by the Great Four - namely Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki. Three poems from each poet were analyzed as samples, accumulating to 12 haiku overall. To avoid equivocality, all 12 haikus observed would explicitly mention sakura with its kanji character or hiragana. The analysis would cover linguistic aspects and metaphorical interpretations associated to convey the portrayal of cherry blossoms in the context of that haiku. Further discussion of the analysis would have the creative representations of cherry blossoms among the four esteemed poets to be compared in six aspects – time, imagery, state, rhetoric, idiomatic expression and contrasting quality. With both linguistic aspect and relativistic viewpoint to form the discourse analysis, this shows that cherry blossoms can act as a form of display for personal philosophical values and personalities of the four Japanese poets specifically as well as the Japanese society in general.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the psychological and social effects of social media upon students at higher learning institutions in Malaysia and The United Kingdom.The study is done via qualitative approach as this study focuses on a case study to acquire unique experience by the participants.Three students are from Malaysia with and the remaining two are from England with different educational degree backgrounds.The participants mention the effects, the factors causing them and the suggestions to avoid or reduce the impacts.The finding elucidates the positive psychological effects include stimulating their study and relieving stress whereas the adverse impacts are procrastination, addiction and low self-esteem.The positive social effects mentioned by participants are student-student bonding as well as sharing of beneficial contents.The negative social effects are misinformation, cyberbullying, morality issues including pornography and cybercrimes, and poor physical interactions. The interviewees suggested that the factors that cause the negative impacts of social media were due to lockdown, peer pressure, perfectionism, procrastination and unethical usage of the online communication platforms.The research concludes with the suggestions by interviewees to impede the influence of social media in which they are parallel with previous findings of other researches such as limiting time for social media and encouraging face-to-face interaction instead.However, there are also additional inputs that are exclusively acquired due to COVID-19 and this will be elaborated further in this paper
