Abstract

One of the weaknesses in sociolinguistic studies in Indonesia is the lack of empirical research that specifically discusses the factors that influence the decline in Minangkabaunese language use. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the realization of Minangkabaunese language use in the family as well as the community's perception of the importance of preserving this language. This research used a qualitative approach with mixed methods. Data were collected through observation, online questionnaires (google form), in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results of this study reveal that the use of Minangkabaunese language in family communication has shifted significantly. The main factors causing this include the preference for Indonesian as the main language in communication between family members, both in husband-wife relationships and between parents and children. Although some respondents still use Minangkabaunese language for reasons of communication effectiveness, emotional intimacy, and cultural preservation, the more dominant proportion of Indonesian language use indicates that Minangkabaunese language is facing a threat of decline in the domestic setting.

Abstract

There have long been different perceptions on what text and discourse are. Some experts in linguistics view these two objects as the same thing whereas others see them as two different forms. Occasionally, text and discourse are parallel to each other but often the former is seen as the subordinate of the latter and vice versa. This paper aimed at formulating new definitions of text and discourse in order to clarify the nature of each as well as the relations that may exist between them. The method applied in this study was by collecting as many as definitions of text and discourse as stated by linguistic experts and quoted in references. These data were then compared and contrasted to find out the similarities and the differences between the objects for drawing a conclusion in the form of definitions and descriptions that precisely represent the characteristics of each. The result shows that, text and discourse share both similarities and differences. At certain level, they can be seen as the same entity but in other conditions one may take position as part of the other.

Abstract

Informational texts in public spaces, like railway station, are often provided in English language to serve international visitors. The English version is commonly the result of translation from the original in local language. However, sometimes, a number of mistakes are found in the target texts that can lead to confusion or misunderstanding to the readers. This descriptive qualitative research aimed at measuring the quality of English informational texts provided at the railway stations. For collecting the textual data, a documentation technique was applied. The selected data were then processed through interactive model of data analysis proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). For measuring the translation quality of the informational texts, the researcher uses the model of translation quality assessment developed by Nababan, Nuraeni, and Sumardiono (2012) which considering accuracy, acceptability, and readabilty as the parameters for scoring. Meanwhile, for the purpose of analyzing the mistakes in the target texts, it used Molina and Albir’s (2002) theory of translation techniques. The results show that, overall, the English translation is considered having good quality as it reaches a total score of 2.70 out of maximum 3 points. Meanwhile, from the total 110 times of use, 11 out of 18 translation techniques were applied by the translator. Borrowing becomes the most frequent technique used, in contrast with description as the rarest. To some extent, the quality of translation is influenced by the choice of translation techniques in the process of translation.
