Abstract

Begalan is one of Banyumas traditions generally held in wedding ceremony in which involves several processions. As an oral tradition, this is undoubtedly rich of moral values to guide the local people in life over generation. Moreover, it contains symbolic meanings of Javanese philosophy. Begalan, thus, in the perspective of Banyumas people becomes tatanan (norm), tuntunan (guidance), and tontonan (performance) simultaneously. In regard to this, cultural-bound elements become inevitable issue particularly if it is viewed through translation studies. Accordingly, this paper is aimed at describing several cultural elements which are used in this tradition. Then some strategies dealing with transposing local cultures embodied in those elements are proposed. Among them are transference, paraphrase, and translation by icon. In the process of translating, a process of rewriting message, an appropriate strategy should be taken into account for the sake of retaining embodied moral values in each element. Moreover, the translator’s creativity becomes precious skill in coping with those elements. A creative translator would be able to produce a closest equivalence to reach the same effect as original one. In particular, this brings about the concept of begalan not only comprehended through its exhibition but also through written materials. In general, those strategies are possibly applied to transfer some similar texts for students in their learning, for teachers to teach translation and for translator for practice.

Abstract

Exploitation of language in commercial sector is inexorable. Language does not only work to articulate meaning but also to send and build image. In this sense, language has been commodified. This fact becomes more obvious in tourism industry in which language plays vital role to construct brand as well as to reach targeted profit. Based on these premises, this research aims to unravel the phenomenon of language commodification in Baturraden Tourism areas within the framework of Linguistic Landscape. The descriptive qualitative research was conducted through observation, documentation and interview. Data in the forms of photographs were gathered to be analyzed and interpreted to capture the language commodification manifested in the selected areas. The analysis shows that language commodification is materialized through the use of Indonesian, English and Javanese. English serves a dominant language in this tourism industry. Most tourist destinations prefer using English to Indonesian as national language to label their place. The issue of branding therefore becomes obvious to elevate the market and effectively attract the visitors. English, rather than functions as referential meaning, serves economic functions. Here, English is more powerful than other given languages. English offers higher prestige, modernity and promising brand to be beneficial for this industry. Then, Javanese is maintained to introduce the history or local legend as well as to bring the sense of authenticity.

Abstract

The virginity test is a long-standing tradition that has been documented in at least 20 countries around the globe (WHO, 2018). Women and girls are frequently subjected to or forced to undergo this test for various reasons. In the Indonesian context, this gynecological examination conducted under the belief to determine if a woman has had vaginal intercourse has to be experienced by female military candidates. In response, the Indonesian army has set to remove this somewhat controversial policy. Through media, this issue was packed in such a way that reflects the media's stance. Accordingly, this research aims to investigate how media take a stance toward this issue and how the translated version delivers it from the perspective of translation studies and appraisal theory using the qualitative method. Appraisal resources identified the data and compared the original text to the Indonesian versions retrieved from the ABC online news portal (Australian and Indonesia-based). This method is conducted to gather and interpret any attitudinal resources in both original and translated texts. It reveals that the translated version, compared to the more neutral-sounded original one, exploits a more clear-cut attitude towards the issue. Various attitudinal lexis including invasive, gender-based, victim and abusive, are chosen to revoice her stance that this practice is groundless. Through its translation, the author articulates her attitude louder. It proves that different target readers influence how the information is packed and constructed. As a re-situated text, translation barely occurs in an empty space.

Abstract

This research investigates the translation of food names on menu lists by employing a Linguistic Landscape approach, focusing on public spaces such as restaurants and cafes. The goal is to recognize the categorization of menu types and structures and to identify the translation methods. Four types of menu classification are found in the menu list, and more frequently provided to cater to the requirements of the local community. The usage of menu types is evenly distributed across food in the Northern Purwokerto area, starting from bite-sized food to traditional food. The menu types tend to be used in Western culture and are rarely applied to Indonesian food conditions. The prevalence of main courses as a predominant menu structure is attributed to the common preference among Indonesians for substantial meals. Therefore, various dining establishments adapt to the cultural preferences prevalent in their surroundings. There is also a descriptive translation method being the most commonly employed. It involves providing a detailed of the process and elaborating on the food menu by explaining how the dishes are served. Moreover, the food menu served aligns with the local culture, characterized by a prevalence of hearty portions.

Abstract

This paper is aimed at describing note taking in consecutive interpreting as an effort as well as important aid for novice interpreters. Interpreting occurs when one person transfers message orally that he or she hears into another language. This could be done either simultaneously or consecutively. In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter listens to a speech while taking notes. When the speaker has finished, the interpreter stands up and delivers the speech in his/her native language. Note taking becomes the core of the process of rendering message from source language into target language and beneficial to assist interpreters during his/her performance in delivering the message. Several symbols and codes are then used by interpreters. One interpreter to another could probably have different symbols for representing the same item. Conventionally, several symbols are applied by interpreters worldwide. They cover abbreviation of linking words, negation, underlining stressing, symbols of expression, number, movement, correspondence and some other. Nevertheless, according to the practical conditions and making the best use of some basic principles concerning note-taking in consecutive interpreting, the beginners can develop good note-taking skills, which can be regarded as his or her own note-taking system. Keywords: note taking, consecutive interpreting, aids, novice interpreter.
