Abstract

The purpose of this study is to map the vulnerable Javanese language in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, namely in the City of Yogyakarta and in the regencies of Sleman, Gunungkidul, Kulon Progo, and Bantul. Furthermore, it seeks to understand the role of different agents in preserving the Javanese language in those areas. Due to the dominating use of Indonesian language, the Javanese language has decreased in usage in various modes of communication in schools especially Jawa krama (medium-register variety). Making this language vulnerability mapping is important to locate in the context of the region, the language vulnerability that occurs more than other regions. This mapping can be used by the policy makers to strengthen the Javanese language used in the regions. A geographic information system was used to map the language's vulnerability in this region. The findings of this research are, first, there is an even distribution of the level of language vulnerability throughout the region, especially in the declining usage of Jawa krama. Second, schools no longer serve as agents in the preservation of the usage and competence of the Javanese language, especially Jawa krama. Third, family and social environments still hold potential for the preservation of the Javanese language, although mostly for Jawa ngoko.

Abstract

Translating politeness and (in)directness in speech acts presents a considerable challenge in audiovisual translation, where cultural details are frequently lost.  This problem becomes much more apparent for languages with a complex politeness system, such as Javanese, when translated into English. This study investigates how the (in)directness and politeness of directive speech acts (DSAs) are translated from Javanese into English in film subtitles, focusing on the strategies employed and their pragmatic implications. A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods approach was applied to Javanese-English directive utterances from 20 short films produced by the Provincial Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The results show that the direct translation (59.6%) was far from mere literal translation, as it involved significant modulation to preserve the source text’s illocutionary force, while translation shifts (40.4%) demonstrate the translator’s effort of pragmatic mediation. Specifically, 58.2% of the shifts toward enhanced directness were aimed at meeting subtitle constraints and improving clarity, while 41.8% of the shifts toward lessened directness were meant to conform to English norms of negative politeness, which occasionally compromise speaker intent. These findings affirm that politeness in translation is a dynamic variable that needs adjusting. In dealing with such an issue, translators act as intercultural mediators who should navigate the spectrum between directness and indirectness in two different cultures.
