Abstract

People sometimes do not clearly state what they mean, but instead, use other statements that are certainly understood by their speaking partner. This is an implication. Implications can also be found in the form of Javanese language statements because of the characteristic of Javanese people who tend to be indirect in expressing something. This article aims to discuss the implications and the meanings of Javanese language statements in the anthology of cerkak (cerita cekak)/'short stories' entitled Simbar Menjangan (2022) by Impian Nopitasari. This object was chosen because the speech in it is pragmatically close to everyday life and contains various Javanese speeches against the backdrop of plural Javanese life stories, such as urban and rural life, migration, relations between two cultures, and so on. This article is a descriptive-qualitative study with data collection through the observe-record method and data processing and analysis using the contextual pragmatic matching method. The theory of implication is used to examine the principle of cooperation through four maxim principles developed by Grice (1989), that's quantity maxim, quality maxim, relation maxim, and manner maxim. The results of the study show that (1) there are seven meanings in implications, including allowing, convincing, providing reasons, agreeing (as politeness), inciting gossip, rejecting/avoiding gossip, and opening/inciting conversation; (2) the meanings of implications in the Javanese language statements have their characteristics, i.e. many statements are found that have different meanings or convey meanings or information that are not direct. This is certainly based on Javanese social and cultural aspects, such as habits, politeness, formality, and familiarity.

Abstract

The phenomenon reflected in the tweets used in #InternationalWomensDay as the campaign has provided many people to argue freely on social media platform.

In addition, the descriptions of the data were displayed qualitatively. Overall, the results reveal that from the data analysis, the number game strategies became the most frequently used strategy in tweets using the #InternationalWomensDay and the fewest strategy used in this hashtag was pseudo-ignorance.

Abstract

In cognitive linguistics, conceptual metaphor is known to reflect the human’s thinking process. Thus, the translation of the conceptual metaphor itself is challenging due to its cultural-bounded lexical. This research compares the conceptual metaphor of fear in an English text and the translation in Indonesian and Turkish. The aim of the research is to show how a conceptual metaphor of fear in English is transferred to Indonesian and Turkish translation. The data was taken from an international bestseller novel, ‘The Kite Runner’, written by Khaled Hosseini, and the translation in Indonesian and Turkish. The equivalent word of fear that the writer used to find the conceptual metaphor is ketakutan in Indonesian and korku in Turkish. This paper is qualitative driven research conducting in-depth analysis from the data collected. As a result, seven conceptual metaphors of fear are found in the source text, namely FEAR IS SOUND, FEAR IS A VISIBLE OBJECT, FEAR IS HIDDEN ENEMY, FEAR IS PAIN, FEAR IS SUBSTANCE, FEAR IS BURDEN, and FEAR IS TASTE. In translation, it is revealed that some of the conceptual metaphors are translated faithfully for both languages, and some have undergone reconstruction to meet the target language criteria. This result shows that universal metaphor is applied in the languages, proving that the same metaphor can be transferred in the target languages. Moreover, this paper also shows that these three languages see the emotional concept of fear in a different way of thinking.

Abstract

This study aimed to classify ontological metaphors and interpret the conceptual mappings found in four selected songs by Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR) from their Greatest Hits album. Using the theoretical framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) by Lakoff and Johnson, this qualitative research analyzed the lyrics to identify metaphorical expressions that conceptualize abstract experiences through concrete entities. The findings revealed that ontological metaphors are manifested in various forms, including personification (e.g., love is treated as a human entity), substance metaphors (e.g., feelings treated as tangible objects), and container metaphors (e.g., the heart as a space to hold emotions). The conceptual mapping identified source domains such as human, object, and space, which are mapped onto target domains such as emotion, love, loss, and time. These metaphors help listeners conceptualize intangible experiences more concretely and emotionally. The study concludes that ontological metaphors play a crucial role in shaping emotional resonance and poetic imagery in song lyrics.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and evaluate the accuracy of phrase and noun translations by machine translators in the context of mass media opinion articles. The research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis. Generally, the qualitative approach involves purposeful sampling, open-ended data collection, text or image analysis, presenting information in the form of visuals and tables, and personal interpretation of the findings. The results of this study reveal several inaccuracies in translations produced by Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and DeepL Translator. Therefore, further evaluation and precise word choices are necessary to ensure better translation accuracy.

A mix of the qualitative descriptive and quantitative methods was employed. An approach of a qualitative descriptive is to comprised social interactions in the selected Facebook pages that contained the construction of impoliteness strategies. A total of 288 comments from netizens were selected, examined, and analyzed using the Impoliteness Strategies (Culpeper, 2011). The findings showed that there are various patterns of impoliteness strategies used, such as bald on record impoliteness, sarcasm, and inappropriate address forms. Whereas a quantitative approach involved a questionnaire that intended to determine the perception of netizens regarding the use of impoliteness strategies and factors that instigate the use of these strategies in social media interactions. Respondents consisted of 100 students aged between 18 to 35 years, randomly selected from public universities in Malaysia.

Essentially the results of the questionnaire were inconsistent with the practicalities of the interaction on Facebook, which clearly demonstrated the widely used impoliteness strategy.

Abstract

Translation in movies is very influential in terms of language use on how the message is conveyed to the audience.

This research belongs to qualitative research. The data used is in the form of utterances in the translated dialog of the film “Agak Laen” which contains dysphemism expressions. Data collection in this study used the listening method with note-taking technique. The data analysis uses the theory of skopos which makes the purpose of the target language as a determinant of changes in the expression of dysphemism.

Abstract

People must have insecurities. In expressing the insecurities, they have their own ways, either in explicit or implicit ways. When people implicitly express their insecurities, they flout Grice’s four maxims, which generate implicature. Implicature is not only happening in spoken form but written form as well, like in song lyrics. Taylor Swift is a singer/songwriter who pours her personal experiences into lyrics, and Midnights (3am Edition) is her album filled with such experiences. This study aims to discuss the insecurity signs in the Midnights (3am Edition) song lyrics and then identify the types of implicature in those insecurity signs. This study employed psychological insecurity theory from Maslow (1942) and implicature theory from Grice (1989). This study used descriptive qualitative as the method to analyze the data. Among the 73 data found, the insecurity sign number 4 (Feeling emotionally unstable; feeling tension, conflict, etc.) dominated the findings with 28 data. This result ties in with the album’s concept: about ruminations. Generalized implicature dominated findings with 42 data. Generalized implicature is dominantly used for the purpose of the songs’ reception in the market so broader audiences can understand the songs without having to understand the context or background knowledge about Taylor Swift.
