Abstract

This study aims to find out what kinds of turn-taking strategies are used in Lincoln-Douglas debate final round between Nehal Chigurupati as the affirmative speaker and Grace Johannes as the negative speaker. This study has two purposes: the first is to find out what kinds of turn-taking strategies are used by the Lincoln-Douglas debate, and the second is to find out the most dominant type of turn-taking strategies used by the Lincoln-Douglas final debate. A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study while Stenstrom’s (1994) theory was applied to analyze the data. The results show that 31 data were found which consist of taking the turn strategies (16), holding the turn (10), and yielding the turn (5). The findings imply that the most dominant strategy used by the Lincoln-Douglas debate is turn-taking strategies

Abstract

The quality of the research background provides readers with the essential context needed to understand the research problem. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the quality of this section. This study investigates the comparison of the Move and Step structures between engineering and non-engineering students’ final project report background using Swales’ (2012) Create a Research Space (CARS) Move/Step analysis model. Data were collected from 71 students’ final project reports at a polytechnic in Bandung, comprising 35 from engineering fields and 36 from non-engineering fields. The results indicate that both fields incorporate Move 1, Move 2, and Move 3. In Move 1, both fields use Step 2 (Making topic Generalization) to establish a research area. Meanwhile, in Move 2, step 2 (Indicating a Gap) and step 4 (Continuing a Tradition) are frequently applied in non-engineering fields to establish a research niche. In Move 3, both fields use step 1A (Outlining Purposes) to describe their studies. The findings suggest no significant difference in the Move and Step structures between engineering and non-engineering fields. These insights may contribute to improving the quality of students’ final project reports.

Abstract

Translating cultural words of news articles can be problematic, especially for students and novice journalists, as they may have different socio and cultural context from that of the target audience. With the development of machine translation, it is important to investigate how it can help solve the problem. In collaboration with a local online newspaper in Bandung, Indonesia, this study attempts to compare how machine translation (MT) and human translators (HT) translate Indonesian cultural words into English, aiming at producing guidelines of translation for dealing with cultural imbedded words. In identifying the procedures, Newmark’s (1988) procedures of translation are utilized. The data are cultural words taken from 22 selected Indonesian online news articles from which 82 sentences containing cultural words are extracted. They are translated into English by machine translation and by intern journalists and a lecturer of translation. The study shows similar results: the transference procedure is mostly used (62.19% to 73.17%) in translating the cultural words by both MT and HTs. This indicates that the cultural words are retained and need to be edited. This also implies that guidelines for post-editing cultural word translation need to be developed to assist students and novice journalists to fix the problems.

Abstract

The integration of verbal and visual resources is critical for explaining technical information in engineering academic writing. While earlier research has looked extensively into intersemiotic relationships in textbooks, classroom materials, and scientific texts, limited attention has been paid on engineering students' final project reports. This study investigates the intersemiotic relationships between verbal and visual elements in final project reports written by engineering students. The study used a qualitative content analysis design and examined 20 final project reports from four engineering programs: Road and Bridge Design Engineering, Mechanical Design and Construction Engineering, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering, and Power Plant Engineering. Halliday's logico-semantic linkages and Martinec and Salway's intersemiotic framework served as foundations for the investigation. The results revealed two intersemiotic categories: elaboration (90.08%) and enhancement (9.92%), with no instances of extension observed. Clarification was the most frequent subtype of elaboration (74.09%), followed by exposition (9.18%) and exemplification (6.82%). Within enhancement, manner accounted for 81.25% of the occurrences, while spatial relations accounted for 18.75%. The high level of clarification suggests that engineering students rely largely on visual resources to clarify and reinforce technical concepts, procedures, and systems that are difficult to describe verbally. These findings indicate that engineering academic writing is essentially multimodal, with visual resources serving as primary meaning-making tools rather than supplemental illustrations. The study contributes to intersemiotic research by expanding its application to authentic engineering academic writing.

Abstract

The key issue in machine-based news translation is the difficulty of translating culturally specific terms with local references into the target language without compromising clarity or cultural identity. Although DeepL Translator is known for producing high-quality translations, its ability to translate Indonesian cultural terms in news articles requires further evaluation. This study aims to analyze the translation strategies used by DeepL in translating Indonesian cultural terms and to evaluate the communicative adequacy of the resulting translations for international readers. This study employs a qualitative approach using an embedded case study design. The data consisted of 117 cultural terms obtained from 25 news articles published by the Pikiran Rakyat Media Network. The analysis was conducted based on Newmark’s categories of culture and translation strategies, and the translations were evaluated in terms of accuracy, clarity, and cultural appropriateness. The findings indicate that the material culture is the most dominant type of cultural term (60 instances), while the strategy most frequently used is transference (55 instances). This strategy successfully preserves the basic meaning and readability but often fails to convey cultural context, metaphorical nuances, and socio-religious meanings, potentially leading to misunderstandings among international readers. Therefore, this study recommends human post-editing through the couplet strategy, which combines transference with descriptive or functional explanations, to enhance communicative clarity without sacrificing the authenticity of meaning. These findings highlight the need for human-machine collaboration in news translation and provide practical insights for translators, editors, and media practitioners, particularly when dealing with culturally sensitive content.
