Abstract

English has been widely used all around the world, either as the first, second, or foreign languages. As foreign language of Japan, English is not daily used, however, since immigration to English speaking countries for educational or business purposes has been common in Japan, more and more people used English within those contexts. A case on the use of English by Japanese is a vlogger Rion Ishida whose speech frequently used uvular [ɴ] for English alveolar /n/. This study examined the interference of Japanese uvular [ɴ] which is not common in English in the speech production of English alveolar /n/. The finding shows that at ending distribution, English alveolar /n/ has been pronounced as uvular [ɴ] in more-than-one-syllable words. In this case, actual phoneme substitution occurs as a result of phonological interference. This is partly caused by the position of the words containing /n/ in the speech and another is caused by the interference of Japanese phonological system which regulates alveolar /n/ to be realized as uvular [ɴ] at final or ending distribution. Thus, three factors causing phonological interferences consisting (1) the competing phonemic categories, (2) their allophonic membership, and (3) their distributions are all evident in this study.

Abstract

Google Translate is one of the online translation services that is simple and easy to use but has its own advantages and great impact in translating. The quality of Google Translate continues to be improved so that positive and negative aspects need to be considered so that it can always be accepted by the target reader. Because the assessment of translation is an integral part in the context of translation research, this study aims to determine the acceptance of English to Indonesian translations on Google Translate and more specifically to translations that use the reduced clause. In this study, researchers used Guardian News to be translated using Google Translation from English to Indonesian. In deciding the data's acceptability, the Translation Acceptability Assessment Instrument was initiated by Nababan et al. (2012) was used. The results of this study indicate that Most of the reduced clauses translated using Google Translate are considered acceptable in line with the qualitative parameter. However, there are still some of the data which are considered as less acceptable and not acceptable according to the qualitative parameter.

Abstract

Sign languages, like spoken languages, face the threat of extinction when their native users disappear. This paper examines the silent extinction of sign languages (SLs) that have lost their last native users, focusing on cases such as Old Kentish Sign Language and Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language. These SLs vanished due to factors like standardization, cultural assimilation, and lack of documentation, leaving gaps in our understanding of Deaf history and linguistic diversity. Unlike well-documented sign languages such as ASL or BSL, extinct SLs often leave behind only fragmentary evidence, such as historical texts or community anecdotes. This study explores the causes of their disappearance, the challenges in reconstructing them, and the ethical implications of reviving or preserving these lost languages. The research calls for greater recognition of extinct SLs as part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage and proposes collaborative efforts between linguists and Deaf communities.

Abstract

Game subtitle must be translated using proper techniques to avoid misunderstanding when the game is played. In addition, Indonesian and English have different systems of personal pronouns, which must be known and understood by the translator. Indonesian has several parameters of personal pronouns heavily influenced by various aspects of interpersonal relationship between speakers. This research used the descriptive qualitative method. Data in the form of sentences containing personal pronouns were taken from Dreadout 2’s English subtitle and its Indonesian translation. This research used two sets of theory: Molina and Albir’s translation technique (2002) and Moeliono, et al.’s parameters of Indonesian personal pronouns (2017). Results show that the translator used three techniques, i.e. established equivalence, particularization, and variation, to translate the English pronouns. Besides that, the selection of Indonesian personal pronouns as equivalents was found to be deeply influenced by the parameters of social status and kinship.

Abstract

Interference can be considered a form of error in language. The emergence of interference can damage the linguistic rules of a language, potentially leading to confusion and disorder, as it deviates from established norms or grammatical structures. One of the most common forms of interference is phonological interference, particularly in bilingual contexts such as Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). This study aims to describe the forms of phonological interference from Arabic into Javanese that occur during Bahtsul Masail activities at the Darul Huda Islamic Boarding School in Mayak, Ponorogo. Additionally, this research seeks to identify the consonant patterns that contribute to the interference and the underlying causal factors. This study uses descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, audio recordings, and field notes. The researcher directly participated in the Bahtsul Masail sessions, engaged in dialogues with participants, and recorded instances of phonological interference that emerged during students' arguments. The findings reveal that: (1) the forms of phonological interference include sound substitution, simplification of pronunciation, and accent adaptation in the articulation of Arabic by Javanese speakers; and (2) Phonological interference is influenced by several factors, including the learning environment in pesantren, students’ everyday language use, and Arabic teaching approaches that inadequately cover phonological elements.

Abstract

The study of directive speech acts underlies this study. Speech acts used to direct other people or state what the speaker wants are known as directive speech acts. Directive speech acts serve a number of functions, including commands, requests, invitations, advice, criticism, and prohibitions, etc. The objective of this study was to discover and describe numerous types of directive speech acts in Quipper Vidio Indonesian Language Learning videos based on the functions of commands, requests, invitations, advice, criticism, and prohibitions, etc. This study was designed with a qualitative descriptive method which shows where there is evidence of directive speech acts and explaining them based on existing facts in line with the explanation to enable to produce a presentation as it is. The study data collected was obtained from five video sources on YouTube. Based on the results of this study, there are 25 command functions, 6 request functions, 36 invitation functions, 15 advise functions, 0 criticism functions, and 1 prohibition function. The objectives of this study are to improve the theory of language development by studying the form of directive acts in the learning objects to be studied. It is expected that the study will expand readers' perspectives on directive speech acts as well as classifying the functions of directive speech acts in the Quipper Vidio Indonesian Language Learning playlist.

Abstract

This study explored the socio-pragmatic variation in the digital communication of Nigerian Generation Z, with a focus on public interactions on Facebook. Drawing on a corpus of naturally occurring posts and comments, the study identified and analyzed emerging linguistic practices, including slangs, acronyms, neologisms, and code-mixing. Grounded in William Labov’s Sociolinguistic Theory of Language Variation (Labov, 1966), the analysis revealed how these forms serve interactional functions, including identity construction, solidarity, humor, resistance, and stance-taking. The findings highlighted Gen Z’s creative adaptation of linguistic resources in response to digital affordances and sociocultural contexts. This research contributed to emerging scholarship in digital discourse, pragmatics, and youth language, and advocated for further study on localized digital vernaculars in multilingual contexts like Nigeria.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the types of repetition and how they were translated in children-story books for emergent readers. The data were taken from five children story books, and they show the variety of repetitions. They are mesodiplosis, anaphora, epistrophe, sentence repetition, epizeuxis, dan syploce. Through four stages data analysis, this research found six translation techniques used in translating the repetitions: established equivalence, implicitation, explicitation, discursive creation, reduction, and paraphrase. Some of them contributed to change the types of repetition. The techniques are paraphrase, reduction, and discursive creation. The result shows that those three techniques decrease the accuracy for not accommodating the repetitions. However, there is only one technique that contributed to decrease the acceptability. It is discursive creation. Afterwards, the translation of the children story books for emergent readers gains 2.9 out of 3 in terms of accuracy and acceptability.

Abstract

This research analyzes an editorial from Media Indonesia entitled "Waiting for PDIP to Become Opposition," with a focus on the structure of the news and the language modalities used. The aim is to understand how the use of language and sentence structure in editorials can influence readers' perceptions of the political issues discussed. The method used is descriptive qualitative with reading and note-taking analysis techniques. Data was obtained from the online media portal Media Indonesia, with an editorial published on April 29 2024. Data analysis involved several stages, including condensing, displaying, drawing conclusions and verifying. Data are presented informally. The research results show that the editorial structure is in accordance with an inverted pyramid, including the news title, news core, news content, and end of the news. In addition, there are 11 modality data which can be grouped into three types: intentional modality, epistemic modality, and deontic modality. This research makes an important contribution in understanding how news structure and the use of language modalities influence readers' perceptions of political issues. By analyzing the editorial "Waiting for PDIP to Become Opposition" from Media Indonesia, the methodology used has proven effective in exploring key aspects of news texts. By finding that the editorial structure adheres to an inverted pyramid and the existence of modalities that include intentional, epistemic, and dynamic modalities, this research provides valuable insights for further understanding of how the media shapes and influences public opinion regarding politics.

Abstract

In the video “Indonesia's Exiles: Too Late to Return Home?” by CNA Insider, a translation phenomenon is found. Differences in social and political conditions in expressing satire can be an obstacle in translation, making the selection of translation methods and procedures more complicated. This study aims to reveal the satire elements and translation procedures in the video entitled “Indonesia's Exiles: Too Late to Return Home?”. This study is a translation research with Indonesian BSu and English BSa. The data in this study are taken from CNA Insider's YouTube video. The research used descriptive qualitative method with simak and catat taking techniques. As a result, three irony, six cynicism, and 15 sarcasm data were found to dominate the video. Furthermore, a combined direct and oblique translation method was also found. However, oblique is more dominant due to the complexity of the different social and political conditions of Indonesia in 1965. Three data of literal translation procedure, two data of calque, five data of adaptation, three data of transposition, one data of equivalence, and ten data of modulation were found. Modulation dominates because of the demand to clarify the SVO to distinguish the perpetrators and sufferers of human rights violations.
