Modulation: A Translation Method to Obtain Naturalness in Target Language Texts Adventina Putranti
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 18, No 1 (2018): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

One of the requirements in order to produce equivalent translation is that the translation must sound natural for target language (TL) readers both lexically and grammatically. This naturalness can be obtained through the use of both lexical items and grammar familiar to the TL readers. However, naturalness in translation is not always easy to achieve. One of the causes is the difference in the way the source language (SL) and TL readers express a certain message in their languages. According to Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) this difference can be overcome by applying a translation method called modulation. Modulation is a method in which translators try to maintain naturalness by using various form the message done by changing the point of view. This procedure is usually chosen when translators find that literal translation would result in awkward or unnatural translation.Keywords: modulation, naturalness, equivalence

A Linguistic Analysis of Mobile Phone Companies’ Slogans: A Case of Vodacom and Tigo in Tanzania Peter Rabson Mziray; Bazili Evarist Bamuhiga

This paper presents findings of a Linguistic Analysis of Mobile Phone Companies’ Slogans: a case of Vodacom and Tigo in Tanzania. It specifically aimed at analysing linguistics forms used in constructing mobile phone companies’ slogans and examining the type of illocutionary acts portrayed by the slogans. A total of 25 slogans were collected from online websites of the Tigo and Vodacom mobile phone companies using documentation method and analysed using content analysis. The findings indicate that slogans from mobile phone companies mostly use sentences and, in some instances, phrases and words. Also, the findings revealed that the dominant illocutionary speech acts embedded in the slogans is assertive which intends to change the beliefs of the customer. The other illocutionary speech acts identified are directive which requires the customers to take action in regard to the services and products advertised; and commissive which shows a promise for better services and products for opting customers. Conclusively, mobile phone companies prefer to use sentences and, in few instances, paired phrases to construct the slogans. The constructed slogans largely portray assertive acts which are complemented by commissive and directive acts. The complementation is what makes mobile phone companies have more than one slogan for communicating a complete intended message.

Word Formation: A Morphological Analysis Viator Lumban Raja
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 14, No 1 (2014): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

New words are required not only to increase our vocabulary but also to create new sentences. New words are acquired by the process of word formation which can be done in several ways. One of the most commonly used ways to form new words is affixation either through prefixation or suffixation. Confixation or infixation is hardly ever used and is evidenced in the Indonesian Language. Other methods of word formation include coining, clipping, blending, acronym, and compounding. A difficulty arises when one has to decide which morpheme comes first, if he encounters a word with bound morphemes at both sides, since the two bound morphemes are not simultaneously attached to the root. Confixation occurs when morphemes are bounded both ends of the root simultaneously. Confixation can be seen in the Indonesian language. Key words: word formation, bound morphemes at both sides

Thought Presentation in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones Shahid Ahmad; Shanthi Nadarajan
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 1 (2020): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

The last three decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the studies of thought presentation in stream-of-consciousness narratives among linguists (Semino Short, 2004; Leech Short, 2007; Bray, 2014; Fludernik, 1993). Largely because fictional writers use thought presentation in various ways to get readers to understand direct and indirect thoughts of the characters. Feminist writers have employed thought presentations in stream-of-consciousness narratives to give voice to the sufferings and yearnings of women and children. It has been done through careful selection of language that includes lexical choices, grammatical categories, and meaning representation. Besides providing multiple perspectives to the character’s experiences through definition, reasoning, and arguments, the use of differentiated meanings and metaphorical language in thought presentations has served as insights into the minds of killers and criminals. This paper uses stylistic analysis to explore the conscious and sub-conscious thought presentations of Susie Salmon, the protagonist, and Mr. Harvey, the antagonist in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones (2002). For the study, the researchers use Geoffrey Leech and Michael Short’s (2007) model of thought presentation.The analysis will delve into the thought patterns of ‘dead’ Susie when she meets her assailant. It investigates lexical selection, semantics, and linguistic patterns. The findings show that thought patterns residing even in the sub-conscious or unconscious of human beings can be reached by analyzing thought representations embedded in a narrative discourse through a variety of thought presentation techniques. The central assumption being that while it takes courage to write about death and rape, it takes imagination to a new realm when a ‘dead’ girl returns to talk about her rape and death.

Modernism as Projected through the Character of Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot Eileen Shanon; Hirmawan Wijanarka
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 16, No 2 (2016): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot, a play published in 1948, not long after the break of World War II, displays absurdity through its theme, plot, setting and characters. Despite the postmodern label on the literary work itself, this article assumes that there are ideas of modernism contained within it, projected through the character of Vladimir. Six characters are analyzed in this study. They are Vladimir, Estragon, Pozzo, Lucky, and the Boy. Among these characters, Vladimir tends to be more of a modernist rather than a postmodernist. This is shown in his act of waiting for Godot while the others do not really concern about the relevance of Godot in determining the outcome of their fates. Vladimir rests his faith and hope in Godot, persuading his fellow tramp Estragon to accompany him during his wait. Vladimirs critical thinking and quest for answers give a clear place to stand for the other characters who dont present the importance of logical thinking. Vladimir stands out as a character with modernist values such as anticipating, reasoning, and relevant discoursing. Keywords: modernism, postmodernism, Samuel Beckett

Lana Del Reys Off to the Races and Its Allusions to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita Sindhy Sintya Mianani
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 19, No 1 (2019): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

No matter the era, ones always relate to the popular media whether it is literary words, song lyrics or movies. Yet, sometimes ones do not recognize the reference from a particular textual discourse swirling around them. From this premise, Lana Del Reys Off to the Races is deemed as the perfect example of this issue. Lana Del Reys Off to the Races is an intriguing song, for its lyrics are said to have some relations to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita. For her adaptation on Nabokovs Lolita, Del Rey has been attacked for ostensible discrepancies on who Lolita really is. Thus, this study attempts to prove the relation between Lana Del Reys Off to the Races to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita through Julia Kristevas theoretical ideas on intertextuality. The discussion of this study indicates that, indeed, there is a relation between Lana Del Reys Off to the Races to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita. The lyrics of Off to the Races contains several lines and phrases indicating that Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita plays important role in its meanings. However, the some adaptations and reversal of the relationship between Lolita and Humbert in Off to the Races brings an entirely altered meaning to the song than the meaning in the original text.Keywords: intertextuality, lyrics, Lolita.

Exploitation of Pragmatic Aspects in Indonesian Humorous Discourses I Dewa Putu Wijana
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 17, No 2 (2017): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This paper is intended to analyze and describe various pragmatic aspects exploited by humorous discourse creators in creating jocular texts in Indonesian. By assuming that nearly all jokes are created through a non bona fide process of communication, in which cooperative and politeness principles are intentionally violated in various ways, there must be extensive exploitations of pragmatic aspects. The examples are many kinds of speech acts, presupposition, pragmatic implicature, etc. found in Indonesian humorous discourse to create activities. All of these aspects so far have not been seriously studied by Indonesian linguists, especially whose works concern with humorous discourses.Key words: humor, discourse, text, pragmatics.

Work, Unity, and Aesthetic Plenitude in La Peste by Albert Camus Carmen Romero Sánchez-Palencia
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 2 (2020): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Albert Camus, and his work, is the perfect example of achievement through personal growth, with a unitary conception of the individual and their relationship with the world and with others. In confronting the immediate, the author offers repose; in the face of the absurd, revolt, and in the face of a meaninglessness he proposes love. His task is advance, our advance, climbing a long ladder that we may also descend, although transformed, no longer as we were the first time. This project will analyse the book La Peste / The Plague, relating it and the ideas here expressed with the concept of work. Work being understood as something beyond mere occupation, or way of making a living, but the endeavours of the subject as an essential component of life. This becomes evident when one seeks to grow fully, in harmony with humanity as embodied by Camus’ characters in a situation of collective emergency, in a city in the grip of the plague. The result is a hymn of hope, of momentary triumph not without repeated stumbles, recalling again and again what we are and what we can become. Just as in our own lives, the nebulous is the constant companion of victory, which is never entirely complete.

Lack of Actor in the State Address of Indonesian President on the 74th Indonesia Independence Day Jonathan Irene Sartika Dewi Max; Mardliya Pratiwi Zamruddin
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 2 (2020): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Political speech must be perceived critically in order to avoid the misuse of power. Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this paper offered a perspective to understand how power is symbolically exercised through the use of language in Jokowi’s State Address on the occasion of 74th Indonesia Independence Day 2019. The analysis started by collecting the clauses with high modulation represented by the modal word ‘must’. It appeared as the most frequent modal in the speech text indicating that there is an act of commanding given by the President. However, the high modulated clauses did not give a clear guide on who is the liable Actor for the realization of the discourse of an “Advanced Indonesia”. This phenomenon in language was critical to show that there was a possibility of symbolic violence, which happens because of speaker/writer did not clearly state who was the responsible Actor for each specific action required in the discourse of an Advanced Indonesia. In this instance, his speech opens the possibility of symbolic violence. This was proven by 1) the unidentified accountable Actor from the use of the pronoun ‘we’, 2) hidden agent in nominalization in the Material process, 3) the use of passive voice with Material Process, and 4) the process of Relational Process of Attributive used for characterizing Indonesia.
