Abstract

As patriarchy is not solely based on sexuality, energizing women requires enhancing their intellect and state of mind. It is considered a gesture of respect to refer to a married woman by the name of her husband or eldest son. Women's public participation is still deemed devalued, as evidenced by the naming of restaurants. This study examines eatery names in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and Malacca, Malaysia, two cities with similar historical backgrounds. It aims to investigate women's efforts to improve their negotiating position in society by naming their eateries. Although two restaurants place women in powerful positions, many still need help to attain women's positions and social respect.

Abstract

Translation of engineering terminology is essential for bridging knowledge between English and Indonesian in mechanical engineering. However, research on systematic approaches to translating technical terms in this field remains scarce. This study investigates translation methods and techniques applied to 100 English mechanical engineering terms and evaluates their quality in terms of accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on equivalence theory, Skopos Theory, and Molina and Albir’s classification of translation techniques. The results show that literal, faithful, and semantic methods dominate, with frequent use of literal translation, borrowing, transposition, and adaptation techniques. Several terms, such as superheated steam, reveal multiple Indonesian renderings, reflecting challenges in achieving consistency. The study concludes that a balanced use of literal–semantic methods combined with transposition and adaptation provides more accurate and natural translations. It further highlights the need for standardized glossaries and closer collaboration between linguists and engineers to ensure clarity and coherence in Indonesian mechanical engineering discourse

Abstract

The increasing dominance of national and global languages has raised concerns about the maintenance of regional languages in multilingual societies. In response to these challenges, digital media have emerged as alternative spaces for preserving local linguistic identities. One such medium is Webtoon, a digital comic platform that enables the representation of regional languages within contemporary online communication. This study investigates code mixing in the Webtoon comic Soekirman: Ramadhan di Kampung Halaman and examines its role in maintaining the Javanese language in a digital environment. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzed utterances containing code-mixing phenomena involving Javanese, Indonesian, and English. The data were collected through observation and documentation techniques. The data were analyzed based on the sociolinguistic concept of code mixing (Bokamba, 1988; Muysken, 2000), while the classification of code-mixing forms followed Suwito's (1996) framework developed for the Indonesian linguistic context. The interpretation of the findings was subsequently informed by Fishman's (1991) theory of language maintenance. The findings revealed 37 instances of code mixing categorized into seven forms: basic words, affixed words, compound words, phrases, basters, reduplication, and clauses. Among these categories, basic-word code mixing was the most dominant form. The findings further demonstrate that code mixing functions not only as a communicative strategy but also as a mechanism for preserving Javanese linguistic visibility, cultural identity, and local expressions within contemporary digital discourse. The study concludes that Webtoon serves as a new domain for language maintenance by facilitating the continued use and transmission of Javanese linguistic elements to wider audiences. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic discussions on multilingual communication, digital media, and regional language preservation in the digital era.
