Abstract

This research explores the role of ethics in cross-cultural translation, focusing on the essential principle of cultural sensitivity in translation work. In an increasingly globalized world, translation not only requires linguistic expertise but also the ability to navigate complex cultural landscapes. The research highlights the importance of understanding cultural nuances, ethical considerations, and the impact of translation on social responsibility. Through a literature review, the study examines various scholarly perspectives on translation ethics, drawing on the works of notable researchers and case studies. The methodology employed in this study is a comprehensive literature review, synthesizing insights from existing research on translation ethics, social responsibility, and cultural sensitivity. The findings emphasize that ethical translation is not merely about accurate word-for-word translation but involves a deeper awareness of cultural contexts and values. Translators must balance linguistic accuracy with the cultural meanings embedded in the source text, ensuring that the translated work resonates with the target audience while respecting cultural differences.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the pragmatic functions of deixis in six selected songs from Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine album. Using Levinson’s (1983) theory of deixis, the study identifies and classifies five types of deictic expressions: person, time, place, discourse, and social deixis. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method and uses documentation as its main data collection technique. A total of 306 deixis were found: 228 person deixis, 33 time deixis, 16 place deixis, 19 discourse deixis, and 11 social deixis. The dominant use of person deixis demonstrates the strong self-expression and emotional engagement of the singer. Time and discourse deixis help shape the emotional timeline of the narrative, while place and social deixis reflect interpersonal distance and roles. The findings reveal that deixis functions not only to maintain textual cohesion but also as a pragmatic tool to construct intimacy, express identity, and evoke emotional resonance in the lyrics.
