Abstract

Sumatera Volunteer Foundation was founded in 2014. The foundation is located in Jorong Balai Labuah Bawah-Lima Kaum, which is located on flat land. The main activity of the non-profit Sumatra Volunteer Foundation is a handicraft business whose main raw materials are obtained from nature Sumatra Volunteer sells goods whose raw material is bamboo, such as straws (Sumatra Straws), food made from coconut shells, gifts made from bamboo, and crafts to finance the Foundation's operational activities. In BPOM permit regulations, only straw products are permitted because they are used directly by users as drinking utensils. The sales system still uses the help of friends, family, alumni, students, and interns from the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation. The marketing activities of the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation do not yet have a BPOM permit, so consumers and potential consumers feel safer when using goods with a BPOM certificate. This activity aims to develop the craft product business at the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation by obtaining a BPOM permit. Educational activities regarding BPOM were successfully carried out with the consideration that the product could be clinically tested.

Abstract

Indonesian comedy films display humour not only as entertainment, but also as a potential for cultural identity that is difficult to capture in English subtitles, which must favour readability over cultural principles. While many studies have been conducted on humour translation in both Western and Asian contexts, Indonesian audio-visual translations are among the under-researched topics of this field of study that still require attention. This article aims to address this gap by analysing modes of humour, translation strategies and cultural references in two Indonesian comedy films entitled Kang Mak (a remake based on Pee Mak) and Modal Nekad that can be found on Netflix. The present study adopts a qualitative approach and adopts the framework of Long and Graesser (1988) humour taxonomy, Molina & Albir (2002, 2012) translation techniques and Davies strategies for cultural references (2003). It all resulted from the plethora of funny lines in Indonesian subtitles and English translations, which were later cross-checked with a focus group comprising linguists and translation experts. The findings show that the major types in both films are nonsense and offensive humour, while modulation, literal translation and adaptation are the main strategies used. This meant they negotiated the references, cultural or otherwise, that intersected with their founding and globalness, which reflected a balance between local distinctiveness and global oversight. Humour subtitling is presented as a form of cultural mediation, with pedagogical and professional implications for audiovisual translation that highlight the need for culturally-sensitive approaches in the practice of subtitling.

Abstract

Background: This research presents a case study on the valuable contribution of corpus linguistics to English instruction with an environmental focus, aiming to raise environmental awareness among students. The study explores the role of corpus linguistics as an effective tool for teaching English in the context of comprehending and discussing environmental issues. Methodology: To achieve this, the research utilizes the News on the Web (NOW) corpus to identify common vocabulary in environmental texts. The study was conducted with a group of 13 students in a Specialized Listening and Speaking class, with an intermediate level of English proficiency. The research was conducted over three terms. Initially, students were provided with 75 words from the News on the Web (NOW) corpus, complete with definitions and example sentences. Subsequently, they were tasked with writing three sentences for each word and memorizing their usage within an environmental context. Finally, the students were tested by having to provide talks on 15 randomly selected words. Findings: The research findings indicate that 10 students were able to proficiently use 60.51% of the environmental words, while three students encountered difficulties in using these terms within the environmental context. Seven students demonstrated their ability to connect sentences coherently, utilizing proper grammar and pronunciation.  Conclusion: This research suggests that most students successfully integrated environmental lexical items into their speaking, showcasing proficiency in grammar and pronunciation. However, most of the students (11 out of 13) require further support in structuring their speech cohesively. Rather than constructing a coherent narrative, they often employ words in isolation. Originality: This underscores the importance of using corpus-based methods to provide relevant vocabulary and fostering the skills necessary for constructing well-structured and cohesive speeches.

Abstract

This study examines the translation strategies used in the Klang Valley Region of Malaysia. The primary objectives of this research are to identify the most common strategies, analyze the effectiveness of the menu descriptions, and provide recommendations for improving translation practices in the food industry. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing a frequency and descriptive analysis framework. Data were collected from a sample of Middle Eastern restaurant menus through convenience sampling. The strategies identified were categorized based on Vinay and Darbelnet’s model of translation strategies, while Nida and Taber’s componential analysis examined the effectiveness of the menu descriptions. The findings reveal that literal translation, transliteration, generalization, and cultural substitution are the most commonly used strategies, each with varying degrees of effectiveness in maintaining cultural integrity and communicative clarity. The results highlight the tension between preserving authenticity and ensuring comprehensibility, underscoring the importance of functional and culturally sensitive translation in multicultural food settings. This research contributes to the broader field of applied translation studies by shedding light on underexplored domains of culinary discourse and offers practical implications for menu translators, restaurateurs, and tourism stakeholders aiming to improve cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

Talking openly about anxiety and depression (A&D) remains difficult for many people because of the stigma surrounding mental illness. Anonymous online platforms such as Reddit provide a space where users can express their thoughts and emotions more freely. This study considers how individuals linguistically construct and intensify emotional distress by examining (1) the adjectives used to express A&D, (2) the content-word collocates that co-occur with these adjectives, (3) the lexical features of these collocates, and (4) the emotional meanings conveyed through these collocational patterns. The dataset consisted of 1,440 Reddit posts (approximately 300,000 tokens) systematically sampled from the r/Anxiety and r/Depression subreddits between 2023 and 2025. An observational mixed-methods corpus linguistic approach was used to examine the data. Quantitative corpus linguistic analyses were carried out using AntConc, including frequency profiling and Mutual Information (MI) analysis, and were enhanced by qualitative concordance and Keyword-in-Context (KWIC) analysis to examine collocational patterns in context. The analysis shows a predominance of negatively valenced adjectives (e.g., anxious, depressed, hopeless, and suicidal), whose meanings are systematically intensified through their collocational environments. The collocates show distinctive lexical features. These include clinical nouns, linking and change-of-state verbs, and degree and frequency adverbs. These features construct varying levels of affective intensity and psychological distress. Emotional meaning is encoded in recurrent collocational patterns. Individual lexical items reveal only part of this meaning. This shows the value of collocational analysis for digital mental health research. The findings also possess practical implications. They may help improve the diagnostic sensitivity of automated digital mental health tools and foster more empathetic clinical communication.
