Abstract (Title: Identification of Errors on English Engineering Translation Results to Java Language: Semantic Study). This study uses linguistic principles to study the results of English to Javanese translations using an online translation engine. In particular, this study aims to identify translation errors and study them from a semantic perspective. Data is obtained by entering ten thousand samples of English sentences into the Google Translator translation engine which are then analyzed qualitatively. Analysis is focused on the level of words and phrases. The results of the study show four main problems in the semantic domain, namely the absence of lexicons, the inaccuracy of lexicons, word ambiguity, and idiom phrases. Suggestions were given to improve the quality of Javanese language SMT from a linguistic perspective, related to quantity, coverage, and quality of corporate data.Keywords: semantics, machine translator, Javanese, English, linguistics

Abstract

Conceptual metaphor plays a significant role in everyday communication as it is a fundamental aspect of the human mind and conceptualization. It reflects people’s ways of thinking in responding to a phenomenon or event. To describe how online media in  Indonesian report the COVID-19 pandemic metaphorically, the study would explain 1) the mapping of conceptual metaphors related to COVID-19, and 2) their cognitive functions or ways of thinking about COVID-19. This qualitative study analyzed metaphorical lexical units in three online newspapers in Bahasa Indonesia with local and national coverage: Kompas, Jawa Pos, and Kedaulatan Rakyat. The Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) was used in the data collection process and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) was used to analyze the data. The study found that Indonesians are rich in lexical items as source domains to conceptualize things related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The prominent source domains, inter alia, are WARFARE, DESTRUCTIVE FORCE, COLOR SPECTRUM, and MOVEMENT. The conceptual metaphors illustrate how people feel, act, and think about COVID-19. The dominance of lexical items in WARFAFE and DESTRUCTIVE FORCE categories implies that the metaphors were used to raise people’s awareness that they were in a difficult situation and needed to fight the virus together.

Abstract

This discourse study aims to analyze the structure and function of the modes in the speech of the characters in The Grass is Singing concerning white domination over black people. This is a qualitative study with a critical discourse analysis approach. The findings conform Fairclough's theory (1989) that the mood structure, whether declarative, interrogative, or imperative, can show the speaker's dominance and power. In the declarative mode, the speaker or the person giving the information tends to be in a higher position than the interlocutor. In the interrogative and imperative modes, the person who asks for both information and action from the interlocutor is generally more dominant. These findings reveal that white people consider their group to be superior to black people even though within the white group itself a social class division exists where those who are more successful will be more powerful than people who are struggling economically.
