Abstract

Poetry often uses certain linguistic devices and styles such as metaphors, meters, and rhymes. A level shift can occur when these devices are expressed differently in the target language. Different languages have varying grammatical structures and rules, which can lead to level shift when translating. Cultural and contextual differences may require a level shift to make the poem understandable and comprehensible in the target language. In shift translation, there are two categories, level shift and category shift. This study focuses on the identification of the level shift in the poem Geneva Bulan Juli and its translation. A qualitative descriptive method is used to analyze the data of this study. The result shows that there are 17 level shifts occurring with the majority in the forms of shifts from grammatical forms, in the source language, to lexical forms, in the target language. These shifts include the transformations of verbs to nominal forms, the removals or additions of time elements and aspects, and the replacements of complex syntactic structures into dense and direct diction. Each shift serves not only as a linguistic adjustment but also as a rhetorical strategy to maintain the depth of meanings, emotional nuances, and poetic power in translation. These findings suggest that level shifts are inevitable strategies as well as creative aspects in poetry translation that have important implications for the studies of cross-cultural literary translation.

Abstract

This study investigates the local knowledge represented in the performance of the Rejang Wastra dance, which forms an integral part of Hindu religious ceremonies in Demulih village, Susut subdistrict, Bangli regency, Bali. Respected by the local community, this sacred dance embodies profound symbolic, functional, and philosophical meanings. Using a qualitative approach based on the exploration of traditional dance characteristics, the study reveals two main forms of local wisdom. The first finding shows that the dance represents the traditional market practice before ceremonies, symbolizing interdependence and ritual preparation. The second finding indicates that it illustrates stages of human life in Hindu philosophy, portraying a spiritual journey from birth to unity with the divine. Both meanings express the Balinese concept of Tri Hita Karana, emphasizing harmony among humans, God (Parahyangan), nature (Palemahan), and society (Pawongan). Overall, Rejang Wastra is not only a ritual dance but also a living medium that transmits local knowledge and ethical values, preserving cultural wisdom within Balinese society.

Abstract

The field of Translation and Interpreting (T&I) encompasses bilingual activities in transferring messages from a source language to a target language with an assertive cognitive capacity to produce natural and equivalent meaning. This study serves as a preliminary experiment to explore the cognitive capacity development of ESL students in rendering messages within T&I. Mix-method is applied by involving 28 students taking the test of rendering the messages orally and in written. The experiment consists of three stages: a CEFR test, which reveals that the students' highest level is B1 Intermediate; a 12-session T&I course covering theory, strategies, and practice; and an evaluation phase including feedback collected through questionnaires. In general, the T&I process of rendering messages from English (EN) to Indonesian (ID) is deemed naturally acceptable, and the students are able to accomplish the task. However, there are challenges related to working memory, which result in students not achieving excellent test scores. The EN-ID group shows better performance in translating and interpreting, particularly in the higher score ranges, whereas the ID-EN group has a larger number of participants with lower scores. Additionally, delivering messages from Indonesian to English poses challenges, especially in the context of noun phrases. These challenges are primarily attributed to differences in word order, determiners and articles, prepositions, idiomatic expressions, vocabulary, as well as the participants' proficiency level and exposure to both languages.

Abstract

The exploration of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) application particularly the ideational metafunction in spoken text like simultaneous interpreting within a reflective narrative text of legal and security context, focusing on the realization of mental and material processes has been limited to access. This study compares interpreting performance of 3 novices and 3 professional interpreters as they interpret an audio recording from Indonesian to English discussing border issues to investigate the realization of mental and material processes. Through qualitative descriptive approach of the interpreted texts, the study examines how each group constructs experiential meaning, especially in rendering cognitive (mental) and action-oriented (material) processes. Results indicate that novice and professional interpreters used material and mental processes in similar proportions, yet the quality of their realizations varied, with professionals demonstrating more accurate and consistent rendering. Novice interpreters, however, tend to generalize or omit key elements, particularly in complex mental processes, leading to reduced accuracy in meaning transfer. These differences highlight the impact of interpreter experience on the quality of simultaneous interpreting in border reflective narrative contexts containing speaker’s reflection and experience. The findings underscore the value of SFL as an analytical framework in interpreter training and assessment, especially in enhancing sensitivity to ideational meaning within reflective narrative texts.

Abstract

This study explores how characters in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows deliberately flout Grice’s conversational maxims and how these subtle pragmatic strategies are carried over into Indonesian translation. The research aims to show not only why these flouts occur in the game’s dialogue, but also how their implied meanings (are maintained?) survive when transferred into another language. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study examined 25 utterances that intentionally break the maxims of Quality, Quantity, Relevance, and Manner, focusing on how each line functions within its original gameplay situation. The analysis reveals that maxim flouting plays an important role in shaping the story: it conveys sarcasm, tension, power dynamics, narrative suspense, and emotional undercurrents that are not directly spoken. The findings also show that these effects remain clear in the Indonesian version through communicative equivalence, allowing the same implications to be understood by players across languages. Overall, this study highlights that maxim flouting in video games is more than a stylistic choice; it is a narrative and cross-cultural communicative tool that helps maintain the story’s intent and emotional weight in translation.
