Abstract

This study aims to identify words that contain lexical ambiguity, explore their meanings, and classify them in the children’s book Amelia Bedelia by Herman Parish. The data were collected from the Amelia Bedelia Chapter Books series, which consists of twelve books published between 2013 and 2018. The analysis identified a total of 58 words with lexical ambiguity, including 46 instances of polysemy and 12 of homonymy. The classification of polysemy and homonymy is based on the semantic relatedness or unrelatedness between the multiple meanings of each word. The Amelia Bedelia stories effectively illustrate how children perceive and react to lexical ambiguity through the main character, Amelia, who is known for her literal interpretations of figurative language. This literal understanding often leads to humorous situations. Lexical ambiguity in these books functions not only as a source of entertainment but also as a valuable linguistic learning tool. Therefore, the stories contribute to language development in early childhood readers.

Abstract

Pun is a type of figure of speech that manipulates sound or meaning. In narrative discourse, pun serves not only as humor but also establishes thematic coherence as well as poetic and dramatic effects. Consequently, the use of puns poses a challenge in translation, as it involves different linguistic features and cultural references. This study examined the functions and translation strategies of puns in The Hidden Oracle novel by Rick Riordan. An author, particularly in children’s and young adult (YA), renowned for integrating puns and intertextuality with Greek and Roman mythology in his works. This research employed Delabastita’s (1993, 1996) theories to examine the strategies of pun translation. Additionally, a synthesis of Delabastita’s (1993) and Harding’s (2017) theories was applied to analyze the functions of puns. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this article compares the source text and the target text to explore how the pun is preserved, shifted, or lost, as well as its impact on its function. Of the 31 data, 17 of them serve to add thematic coherence and humor simultaneously. In its translation, however, over half of the puns are not preserved but rendered through non-puns, related rhetorical devices, and many more. These findings show that the translation of The Hidden Oracle novel tends to prioritize rendering the main message over style. Thus, establishing that the interconnected aspects of the functions of puns in their translation influence the translated novel’s overall coherence and narrative effects, such as humor, tension and attention, and taboo.

Abstract

Colloquial language frequently appears in contemporary films, making it challenging for translators to convey natural meaning and contextual implications across different languages and cultures. This study examines the subtitling strategies employed to translate colloquial expressions in Madame Web (2024), available on Netflix. The research focuses on identifying the types of colloquial expressions produced by the main female characters and analyzing the strategies employed by the translator in transferring meaning from English into Indonesian. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, drawing upon Gottlieb’s (1992) subtitling strategy framework and Partridge’s (1954) classification of colloquial forms. The data were collected through observation and note-taking, examining the utterances of the main characters in both the source language and their translated subtitles. Among the fifty-four colloquial expressions identified, seven out of Gottlieb’s ten strategies were observed, with paraphrasing used most frequently. The findings suggest that the translator tends to adapt the meaning to ensure the message remains natural and easily comprehensible to the target-language audience. Furthermore, the most frequent colloquial forms found were phrasal verbs and single words, reflecting a conversational style typical of native speakers in informal contexts. Overall, the findings suggest that the translator strives to maintain language appropriateness and clear meaning when translating expressions that lack direct Indonesian equivalents.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the various forms and meanings of jargon used within the League of Legends community. The research employs Yule’s (2017) theory of jargon and Gaikwad and Kuchekar’s (2022) framework for word class classification, utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected from the official mic check video of the 2024 LEC finals, which captured direct communication between players and commentators throughout the matches. The findings reveal 51 instances of jargon, comprising 35 nouns, 14 verbs, 1 adjective, and 1 adverb. The analysis demonstrates that while nouns and verbs are the most prevalent, other word classes play a significant role in conveying more nuanced and contextually relevant meanings. In this community, jargon not only serves as a means of communication but also helps to reinforce solidarity and identity among players in a competitive and digital gaming environment.

Abstract

This research is grounded in the importance of understanding language politeness in communication, particularly in fictional contexts such as films that reflect social values. This study aims to identify and analyze politeness strategies in the film The School for Good and Evil (2022), based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory as presented in Cutting and Fordyce (2020), and linked to the characteristics of politeness according to Leech (2014). A qualitative descriptive method was employed, using the non-participant observation technique to collect the data. The findings reveal five types of politeness strategies: on record-baldly, on record-positive politeness, on record-negative politeness, off record, and overlaps. These strategies are influenced by social relationships, power dynamics, and communicative goals. The findings also indicate that politeness not always reflect sincerity, but can be used strategically to influence the interlocutor. Politeness in this film plays a significant role in shaping character dynamics and the storyline.

Abstract

This study examines the use of politeness strategies in Laufey’s utterances in two podcast interviews, Q with Tom Power and Royal Court with Brittany Broski, based on Leech’s Politeness Principle (1983). Grounded in pragmatic analysis, this research examines how politeness functions not only as a linguistic norm but also as a strategic resource for self-presentation in public digital discourse. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, 80 utterances were analyzed, revealing 87 realizations of politeness maxims. The findings show that four of Leech’s six maxims are employed, namely modesty (47 instances), approbation (19), agreement (12), and tact (9). The dominance of the modesty maxim indicates a consistent tendency to minimize self-praise, even when discussing professional achievements. Drawing on Goffman’s framework of self-presentation, these strategies function as forms of impression management, enabling the construction of a controlled, approachable, and professional public persona. This study highlights politeness as a strategic linguistic resource in shaping self-presentation within contemporary podcast discourse.

Abstract

The study examines the use of smartphone applications as a tool in teaching Indonesian to university students in South Korea. This case study specifically examines the implementation of the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) approach in teaching Indonesian imperatives. This type of sentence does not contain complex affixes, and it is commonly used in everyday speech. The study involves 15 Korean learners, 11 females and four males, enrolled in the Elementary Indonesian class. They were freshmen, and none of them had ever resided in Indonesia. Data are collected through documentation from screen-recorded tutorial videos on using smartphone applications. There were 97 imperative sentences from 15 videos, which have an average duration of 1 minute and 12 seconds. The findings reveal that as many as 83.6% of the total number of imperatives in the videos are grammatically correct in terms of phonological, morphological, syntactical, and semantic aspects. The result on the pronunciation shows a simplification process in the pronunciation of Indonesian consonant clusters, sound changes, and neutralization. On the morphological level, there were some cases in which wrong forms of the verbs were used. The syntactical analysis indicates wrong phrase and sentence structure, in particular the second type of Indonesian passive sentence. The semantic level indicates that the incorrect word choice leads to the wrong meaning of the message.
