Abstract

Manipulation is a form of utterance that has hidden intention (illocutionary force), which is included in a branch of pragmatics. When performing manipulative speech, the speakers influence their victims’ minds so that they can respond the way the speakers want. Therefore, the speakers use manipulation strategies to achieve their intentions. This study aims to identify the manipulation strategies used by the characters in the WandaVision drama series and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. It also examines the translation aspects of the subtitles from English to Indonesian based on translation techniques theory by Molina and Albir (2002), as well as the rule of translation quality assessment made by Nababan, et al (2012). Data analysis in this study uses the document analysis method and Focus Group Discussion involving three raters who are experts in pragmatics and translation theories. The results show that the characters in WandaVision drama series and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie used all 13 manipulation strategies, whose theory was initiated by George K. Simon (2010). Meanwhile, in terms of translation, the translator chose to be more orientated towards the target language, as proved by the dominance of techniques used, such as established equivalence, variation, implisitation, and paraphrase. The overall quality of the translation results is considered very good by the raters, and there are only two types of translation shifts found. The study hopes to serve as a reference for manipulation speech acts, offering valuable insights regarding the strategies to do manipulation and how the topic of manipulation in fictional works can be studied through a translation perspective.

Abstract

This research is carried out to investigate the types of flouting of maxims and the strategies used by the characters that occur within the background of power and social distance contexts in "All The Bright Places" movie. Moreover, this research is also aimed to reveal the reasons behind the execution of the flouting of maxims. This research is employed qualitative research. The data source of this research is presented in the form of words, phrases, and sentences containing flouting of the maxims obtained from the characters' utterances in the movie. The data were analyzed using Grice's cooperative principle theory, Cutting's theory of strategies to flout the maxims, Leech's theory of illocutionary functions of politeness, and Brown and Levinson's theory of social context. The research findings concluded that four types of flouting maxims are found in the characters' utterances: flouting the maxim of quantity, flouting the maxim of quality, flouting the maxim of manner, and flouting the maxim of relevance. Only three reasons for flouting the maxims were found of four types: competitive, collaborative, and conflictive. The most frequently used flouting maxim is flouting the maxim of quality which is aligned with the competitive reason as the most commonly used reason to flout the maxim.

Abstract

This research observes at how English morphology changes over time, focused on the changes that happen because of new technologies and social upheavals. This study looks at some important issues related to how cultural changes can affect certain morphological patterns and what might happen in the future with the origins of English words. In this project, a qualitative study method is used to look into language data from academic discourse, digital media, and patterns of communication around the world. The results make clear three important events: the rise of neologisms caused by new technologies; the spread of digital communication morphemes; and the effect of global English on morphological structures. As part of this discussion, these facts are looked at, and it is shown that globalization and digitization encourage morphological innovation, which finally leads to the fast adoption of new morphemes. Another thing it looks at is how these changes affect and show the users' linguistic and cultural traits. The paper comes to the conclusion that English grammatical rules are changing because of how language and social interactions work together. It stresses the need for more research into how important this is for teaching languages and making policy, as well as how computer linguistics can be used to track changes in language in real time.

Abstract

This research looks into the complicated steps kids take to learn grammar, focusing on how socioeconomic status (SES), being bilingual, and getting help early on affect this process. The introduction shows how important it is to understand how syntax develops in order to make educational practices more effective and open to everyone. To test syntactic learning, the method uses a mix of experimental, quasi-experimental, and naturalistic observation methods. Structured experiments and longitudinal studies are two important ways to study language development over time. Structured experiments control variables and measure syntactic knowledge and production. The results show that SES has a big effect on how syntax develops, with environments with higher SES giving stronger linguistic input. When learning grammar, being bilingual can be both hard and helpful, depending on how old you are when you start learning and how often you use the language. Children who are at risk of language delays gain a lot from early interventions, especially those that focus on improving phonological awareness and vocabulary. The talk makes it clear that early and focused interventions are needed to reduce differences in outcomes based on socioeconomic status and improve the development of syntax in both bilingual and monolingual children. The results support using research-based linguistic knowledge in the classroom to help all students do better with language, but especially those who have developmental language problems.

Abstract

This article discusses the attitudinal lexis representing feelings to support the process of characterization in narrative texts written by senior high school students in Plupuh, Sragen. Six best stories were selected from twenty texts produced by the students to be analyzed for their text structure and for the way the writers exploit the emotive words representing feelings to support the process of characterization for the participants in the stories. The results show that all of the writers have good skills in arranging discourse units to be a narrative text. All of the texts are structured with the obligatory discourse units for a narrative such as Orientiation, Complication, and Resolution. Furthermore, they are also good in selecting the emotive words representing feelings in the forms of Quality and Process. However, they did not have the words in the form of Comment in their stories. The language units representing feelings are distributed along the units of the narrtive texts to support the discourse functions of each unit. Overall, the exploitation of the emotive words can help the writers in the process of characterization of the participants of the stories they produced.

Abstract

  This article analyzes the quality of language usage utilized by writers/translators of bilingual handbooks for Physics, Economics and History that are used in Indonesian Junior High Schools. Ten translation version texts produced by the writers/translators are collected to be the objects of the research to be analysed for their quality of grammatical construction as well as lexical selection. The assessment of three raters are also obtained as the data for the accuracy and the acceptability of the texts, whereas the assessment of the users of the books are collected to verify the readibility of the texts. Although the results still show several weaknesses in grammatical construction and lexical choices, the writers/translators generally produced good quality translations. This is evidenced by the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the texts that are of high rate. Among the lessons that can be derived from this analysis is that writers/ translators are recommended to keep upgrading their skills in the use of the English grammar and also in the choice of English vocabulary in order to  attain excellence in their profession. Keywords: bilingual handbook, translation, grammar usage, lexical choice, translation quality

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji terjemahan metafora yang terdapat dalam Kitab Kidung Agung sebagai bagian penting dari Alkitab Song of Song dari Recovery Version. Alkitab Song of Song dari Recovery Version menjadi salah satu Alkitab yang telah diterjemahkan dari bahasa Ibrani ke dalam bahasa Inggris. Alkitab ini telah dibaca secara luas dan dijadikan bahan referensi oleh umat kristiani yang digunakan di Gereja Sidang Jemaat Kristus di seluruh Indonesia dan beberapa negera lainnya, seperti Malaysia, Filipina, Vietnam, dan Amerika. Penelitian ini berfokus pada aspek linguistik, yaitu jenis-jenis metafora, pergeseran makna, teknik terjemahan, serta kualitas terjemahan apa saja yang terdapat dalam kitab Kidung Agung dari Recovery Version. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, studi kasus tunggal terpancang. Sebagai validitas data, penelitian ini menerapkan dua jenis triangulasi, yaitu triangulasi metode pengumpulan data dan triangulasi sumber data. Triangulasi metode pengumpulan data meliputi analisis dokumen dan focus group discussion (FGD). Sementara itu, triangulasi sumber data didapat melalui Alkitab Recovery Version dan terjemahannya Kidung Agung dan tiga orang rater. Sumber data tersebut dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Analisis data melibatkan analisis domain, taksonomi, komponensial, dan tema budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adanya tiga jenis metafora, yaitu metafora ontologi, metafora orientasional, dan metafora struktural. Ketiga jenis metafora ini diterjemahkan dengan menggunakan beberapa jenis teknik penerjemahan, yaitu teknik padanan lazim, eksplisitasi, modulasi, paraprase, kreasi diskursif, harfiah, partikularisasi, transposisi. Teknik penerjemahan yang digunakan tersebut berdampak pada kualitas terjemahan. Dari tiga aspek kualitas terjemahan, hanya aspek keakuratan yang berkurang karena penggunaan teknik penerjemahan paraprase dan teknik kreasi diskursif. Sementara itu, dua aspek lainnya, keberterimaan dan keterbacaan, mendapat nilai sempurna, yakni nilai 3.

Abstract

Translation is a crucial aspect of cross-cultural communication, which involves not only the conversion of words from one language to another but also the preservation of cultural nuances and literary elements, which are pivotal to maintaining the literary and communicative integrity of a text across languages. Translation, as a critical aspect of cultural communication, is critical for maintaining the beauty and intended meaning of the original author. In this study, a novel titled Kesatria, Putri, dan Bintang Jatuh, was translated from Bahasa Indonesia into English using six different translation techniques. The findings show that modulation, paraphrase, and established equivalent do not impact accuracy, acceptability, and readability, as they effectively preserved the original meaning. These findings highlight the importance of flexibility and creativity in translation, as translators must navigate cultural and linguistic differences while striving to preserve the original intent and emotional resonance of the source material. This study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on effective literary translation practices and enhance the appreciation of metaphorical language across cultures.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategic deployment of appraisal system resources in Indonesian tourism opinion discourse, comparing evaluative patterns in articles focusing on Java versus those on destinations outside Java, across Detik.com, Kompasiana.com, and Jawapos.com. The research problem addresses the language choices used to construct diverse tourist destinations in an expanding digital sphere. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics and Appraisal Theory, the study analyzes six tourism opinion articles, purposively selected from the three prominent online media outlets. Findings indicate that Java destinations are presented with a multifaceted image, balancing positive APPRECIATION attributes like affordability, accessibility, and comfort, with more frequent negative JUDGMENT regarding site challenges and visitor responsibility. On the other hand, non-Java destinations are framed as exceptional and aspirational through highly intensified positive evaluations and prominent APPRECIATION:QUALITY and APPRECIATION:VALUATION, reflecting a strategy to differentiate and highlight unique selling propositions for less familiar audiences. While all the articles are MONOGLOSSIC, media variations further reveal distinct editorial practices, with Kompasiana emphasizing JUDGMENT for responsible tourism and Jawa Pos using hyperbole GRADUATION for aspirational non-Java travel, while Detik maintains a more HETEROGLOSSIC informational tone. This research contributes to understanding how language systematically persuades in digital tourism promotion, offering insights for academics and practitioners on effective audience engagement and destination branding in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of competitive gaming has emphasized communication as a crucial strategy in elite tournaments. However, directive speech acts in this high-pressure environment remain largely unexplored in sociopragmatic research. This study addresses that gap by examining the sociopragmatic features of directive speech acts in professional e-sports, using the documentary EVOS Legends: Final M-Series Pertama (M1) as a case study. As findings from a single bounded case, results are specific to this context and should not be generalized to other gaming communities, e-sports titles, or media; this also means the observed patterns may be shaped by the documentary's emphasis on striking, authority-driven exchanges. Spradley's ethnographic framework, comprising domain, taxonomic, and componential analysis, was applied to organize the data and reveal relational patterns across the documentary's narrative stages. A total of 515 directive speech acts were identified and validated through an expert-led Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Taxonomic classification shows register variation shaped by situational constraints: of twenty theoretical directive types, only nine emerged, concentrated in tell (28.74%), order (21.55%), and command (17.09%). Componential mapping ties this uneven distribution to recipient design and shifting urgency within the team's temporary hierarchy; its consistency with the team's documented authority structure suggests genuine register constraints rather than mere narrative artifact. Authoritative roles use direct commands to enforce strategic plans during orientation and evaluation phases, while peers rely on implicit "tell" functions in declarative form during crisis resolution, enabled by a shared mental model (SMM) of game mechanics that lets brief utterances be read as explicit tactical moves. Rather than proposing a generalized model, this study offers a structural account of linguistic compression and cognitive alignment in one elite e-sports discourse, suggesting testable hypotheses for future research, such as whether implicit directives correlate with faster response times in peer-to-peer versus hierarchical exchanges.
