The research aims to identify the students’ translation quality in translating Banyumas tourism texts. Moreover, this research tries to find out the effect of design thinking approach in translation class. This research was conducted by applying descriptive qualitative method. In other words, this research describes the effect of design thinking approach to the students’ translation by dividing students of English Diploma Study Program, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman enrolling on Translation Indonesian-English class into two classes. Class A uses design thinking approach in translating the texts, while class B does not. The students focus on translating Banyumas tourism texts. After the students translate the texts, the researchers and raters do a focus group discussion to check and rate their translation quality in terms of accuracy. The result shows that the translation quality of class A is better than that of class B. It can be seen from the accuracy point of class A which is 2.95 meanwhile, class B has 2.90 for its accuracy. This proves that design thinking approach is suitable to teach translation.

Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teaching Vol 4, No 2: December 2020
Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

This research aims to describe the pattern of Arabic simple sentences attached by adverb of time and the distribution of the adverb of time in Arabic simple sentences. The research data are in the form of a simple sentence, which contains adverb of time from a paper in the book Al-Arabiyah Baina Yadaik Volume 4a by Al-Fauzan, et al. (2014). The data collection was carried out using the observation method. The analysis of adverb of time in Arabic simple sentence was done by a tree diagram with the guidelines proposed by Chomsky (2002). The results showed that the adverb of time is inherent in verbs and was only found in the original verb and not a derivational verb. In addition, the sentence patterns of Arabic simple sentence attached by adverb of time consist of PS, SP, SPO, and PSO. The researchers also found the distribution of adverbs of time inside the predicate, behind the object, in front of the predicate, and behind the subject.

Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teaching Vol 4, No 2: December 2020
Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

Studies have established that thesis chapters are both similar and dissimilar with respect to their rhetorical choices. This paper examined metadiscourse use in the Introduction and Literature Review (LR) chapters of English Language theses from a nonnative context. The Introduction and LR chapters of ten theses, resulting in 50, 000 and 100, 500 words respectively, constituted the data sets for this study. Drawing on Hyland’s metadiscourse model, we manually coded all the metadiscursive elements. The study reveals statistically significant differences across all the interactive and interactional subcategories, affirming the stance that the rhetorical function of a thesis chapter influences its metadiscoursal choices. The study also found a new subcategory of meta-discoursal category labeled continuants. The paper has implications for the teaching and supervision of postgraduate theses, and the theory of metadiscourse.

THE USE AND SYMBOLISM OF ANIMALS IN THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ Taymaa Hussein Kheirbek; Roza Awat Ezzat
Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teaching Vol 4, No 2: December 2020
Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

This paper is the result of a qualitative research that follows an animal-based interpretative theory. It sheds the light on the use and symbolism of animal characters in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum and published in 1900. It seems to be a modern fairy tale with an American setting and charming fantasy characters. It is an immensely popular text among children and adults, so it is considered a classic of children's literature. It also attempts to answer why and how Baum used animals; whether for their qualities or for the sake of creating characters opposite to their symbolism. Therefore, the role and function of animal characters are extensively discussed. The findings show how L. Frank Baum presents a distinguished world from a non-human perspective and at the same time he teaches morality, religion, and accepting diversity in nature in an exciting narrative full of adventures. These animal characters can serve as a symbolic role models for young readers.

INTRALINGUAL TRANSLATION: A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL NOVEL DAVID COPPERFIELD Fani Hafizah; Syahron Lubis; Muhizar Muchtar

Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

The objectives of this project are to describe the intralingual translation techniques used in translating the original novel David Copperfield into a simplified version and to find out the reasons why the translator made a simplified version of the original novel David Copperfield written by Charles Dickens. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected by reading the novel, comparing the original and simplified texts of David Copperfield, identifying, classifying, counting, and concluding the results. The theory of Jakobson was used to analyze the data related to intralingual translation techniques. The results of the study showed that from the total data (20 texts from the original novel David Copperfield and 20 texts from the simplified version), the paraphrasing technique was used 6 times and the summarizing technique was used 14 times. Besides, the most dominant intralingual translation technique used by the translator is the summarizing technique. The reasons why the translator used paraphrasing and summarizing techniques in making the intralingual translation of the original novel into a simplified version were also found. Firstly, the original novel consists of 750 pages, which are easier to read by making the summary of the novel into 238 pages using the summarizing technique. Secondly, the original novel consists of many difficult words, which can hinder the comprehension of the reader whereas in the simplified version the novel was paraphrased by using the paraphrasing technique.

THE DISCONNECTED VOICES OF MOTHERHOOD AND DAUGHTERHOOD IN TONI MORRISON’S PARADISE: JOURNEY FROM UNCERTAINTY TO CHAOS Ahdiyeh Alipour; Zanyar kareem Abdul

Publisher : Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU)

This paper is an attempt of analysing the problematic mother-daughter relationship in Paradise (1998), a female coming-of-age novel by Toni Morrison. In the novel, a black woman and her daughter had an uneasy relationship. The daughter strived to shape her own identity and future, but her uneasy relationship with her mother profoundly affected her choices and the way she lived. Undoubtedly, the patriarchal environment that had moulded the female identity and shaped a woman’s world resulted in a dysfunctional relationship between mother and daughter. Although the seed of maternal love existed in her heart as in all mothers, she was often incapable of transferring this love into words and actions, overwhelmed as she was by the pressures patriarchal society. The oppressive pressure on black women is depicted far surpassed that on the whites, and the former were ostracized from society merely because of who they were and by the colour of their skin. This paper explores how patriarchy and conventional beliefs could influence the mother-daughter relationship and prevented the expression of a mother’s true love, consequently depriving them of the opportunity or ability to perform physiologically and psychologically as mothers, biological or otherwise, in black communities. To liberate herself, the daughter had to struggle in the swamp, which her ancestors had created by the force of convention and patriarchy. However, when she eventually discovered the way to free herself from the swamp, she felt no welcome from society and so continued to remain isolated and ostracised.

This study aimed to analyze the English subject in two vocational schools in Kota Langsa based on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach and how it was implemented in the classroom. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method. The two vocational schools involved in the research are Hotel Hospitality Management and Maritime Fishing Vessel Engineering. The data were gained from the teachers and students by conducting observation, interview, Focus Group Discusssion (FGD), and document analysis of syllabus and teaching materials. The data were analyzed by comparing the real condition of teaching-learning process and the ideal condition based on ESP approach. The finding showed that the two schools used General English (GE) frequently rather than ESP on English subject. Despite the common use of GE in these two schools, they had the option to adjust their English subject into ESP standard. One school had the ESP subject called English for Maritime and another school chose Mandarin subject as the option. As a result, the school only had GE for English subject. Thus, the English subject was taught and designed as English for General Purposes rather than English for Specific Purposes.

This study aimed to examine the uniqueness of the Krinok oral literary structure, the meaning of traditional and cultural values, and the variety of cultural values possessed by the Batin people in Bungo Regency, Jambi, which focused on the Krinok speakers in the area. This research applied qualitative approach using anthropolinguistic studies following Alessando Duranti (2001) and William A. Foley (1997). Data collection was carried out by means of interviews and literature study. Interviews were carried out when meeting with informants of Krinok and the interviews were recorded. The results showed that the uniqueness of Krinok oral literature lies in the structure of the pantun ‘a typical Indonesian four-line verse’ which has a high pitch at the beginning of the speech, the repetition of the first and second verse and all of which show all the competencies, indexicality, performance that exist in Duranti's anthropolinguistic theory. There are also cultural values, as stated by Djamaris in his theory (1993: 2-3), the concept of cultural values in human relations with God, cultural values of human relations with nature, cultural values of human relations with society, cultural values of human relations with other humans, and cultural values of human relations with themselves.
