Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and strategies involved in translating English idioms into Indonesian, with a particular focus on Adele's song "Someone Like You." The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach and utilizes contrastive analysis, with a focus on three quality indicators: accuracy, naturalness, and acceptability. The findings indicate that literal translation can result in statements that are either uncomfortable or incomprehensible in the target language, thereby leading to a loss of the intended meaning of the idiom. In contrast, the neural machine translation of DeepL demonstrated a significantly higher success rate, achieving an accuracy of 93.33% across the analyzed idioms. In comparison, the literal translation exhibited a substantially lower accuracy of 42.22%. This exemplifies the idiomatic fluency and contextual awareness of DeepL; nevertheless, human interaction remains imperative to preserve the emotional depth and cultural subtlety of literary texts. This research underscores the potential for a symbiotic relationship between technology and human aptitude, particularly in artistic domains such as music, where the translation of idioms can be particularly salient. Subsequent research endeavors may involve a more extensive investigation of idiom translation across genres and languages, with the objective of promoting the development of emotionally intelligent machine translation tools.

Abstract

Tujuan dari kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah untuk meningkatkan literasi budaya, numerasi, dan baca-tulis anak-anak Sekolah Minggu di Gereja HKBP Resort Srigunting. Keterbatasan minat baca, kemampuan menulis yang tidak terstruktur, kurangnya pemahaman budaya, dan keterbatasan numerasi adalah masalah yang dihadapi. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif melalui kegiatan pembelajaran, pendampingan siswa, kegiatan seminar, dan kegiatan budaya seperti pendidikan kesopanan berpakaian dan drama. Untuk membuat proses belajar lebih menarik dan menyenangkan, kegiatan ini dirancang untuk melibatkan anak-anak secara aktif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan semangat belajar, kepercayaan diri, dan pemahaman anak-anak tentang nilai-nilai budaya, literasi, dan numerasi. Drama dan pembelajaran budaya berpakaian membantu anak memahami nilai moral seperti kejujuran, ketaatan, dan dampak lingkungan. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini membentuk karakter anak-anak Sekolah Minggu, meningkatkan kemampuan akademik mereka, dan menanamkan nilai budaya.

Abstract

This study investigates the ideational metafunction within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), with a specific focus on Michiwichi's short story Friends. This research aims to find out the types of processes that exist in the story. Four types of processes occur, namely material process, mental process, relational process, and verbal process. Language is examined not merely as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for constructing and representing experiential meaning. The analysis employs the transitivity system, which includes material, mental, relational, and verbal processes to explore how experiences are linguistically structured in the narrative. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, the research classifies each clause according to its transitivity elements (process, participant, and circumstance). The findings reveal that the text utilizes diverse process types to encode meaning, with material processes being the most prevalent, followed by mental and relational processes. These results demonstrate how linguistic features are deliberately employed to express the characters' emotions, motivations, and social dynamics. The study underscores the relevance of SFL in literary analysis and affirms that even brief fictional works can provide valuable insights for functional linguistic examination.
