Abstract

This research aimed to identify the translation procedures employed in the startup guide for the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual Smartphone from English to Indonesian. The ata were collected from the guide and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on established translation procedures. Translation theory categorizes these procedures into seven types: borrowing, calque, literal, transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. The studies revealed that five of these procedures—literal, adaptation, borrowing, transposition, and modulation—were used in the translation process. The results showed that literal translation was the most frequently applied method, with 19 out of 48 items translated in this way. Adaptation translation accounted for 12 items, while borrowing and transposition were each applied to 8 items. Modulation was the least utilized procedure, appearing in only 1 item. This analysis highlights the predominance of literal and adaptation methods in translating technical documents, emphasizing the importance of accurate and contextually appropriate translations in user guides for electronic devices.

Abstract

This is a qualitative study investigating the strength of the proposition of Indonesian English (Indolish) as a potentially emerging English variety from the outer/expanding circle from an emic perspective. This proposed variety does not yet exist even as a de facto English variety spoken in Indonesia or elsewhere. Nonetheless, the growing spread of English used by Indonesians has frequently prompted the idea of promoting the establishment of Indolish as a new English variety in the World Englishes areas for Indonesians. To clarify this early signal, an exploratory study was conducted to investigate the perspective of Indonesian postgraduate students who pursued their higher degrees in some Australian universities and whose overseas learning and language contact experience should bring them into a direct contact with a wide range of English varieties and thereby allowing them to better reflect on the significance of creating a special type of English for Indonesians. Seven participants responded to the three open-questioned survey questionnaire sent to two mailing list groups of Indonesian Postgraduate students. Two participants prefer to have Indolish while five others disagree with the idea. Majority of the participants show a strong nationalistic identity indicating a stagnant foundation process in Schneider’s Dynamic Model  in Indonesian context. Nevertheless, the participants demonstrate a strong dependence on English NS norms which confirm Kachru’s proposition and indicate their rejection of Norton’s notion of ownership of English language. In conclusion, these participants view that Indonesian English does not seem ready to launch yet.

Abstract

Raya and the Last Dragon is a popular animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, featuring an antagonist named Namaari. This study aims to examine the interactive meaning of a particular scene and determine the representation of power by Namaari as the female antagonist character during the orientation stage, specifically from minute 0:11:54 to 0:16:37. To identify the representation of Namaari in the movie, a combination of verbal and non-verbal modes is analyzed. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar theory to investigate movement, Baldry and Thibault’s approach to analyze the macrophase, and Halliday’s textual metafunction to examine the verbal mode. Additionally, Sutherland's power model, incorporating Allen’s conception of power, is used for a deeper analysis of female power. The study reveals that Namaari embodies different types of power as a female antagonist, such as power-over, power-to, and power-with, based on the frameworks of Sutherland and Feltey. Besides adapting masculine traits, Namaari demonstrates her power through verbal clauses, detachment, and equality angles. These features portray Namaari as an equal to Raya, both verbally and visually. Namaari tends to convey information through declarative clauses, adopting a friendly demeanor (using positive face strategies) to deceive Raya and gain access to the Dragon Gem.

Abstract

Studio Ghibli’s animated film Pom Poko presents the tanuki or raccoon dogs which, according to the Japanese myth, have magical power of impersonating human or shape-lifting. Mythology refers to the study of religious or heroic legends and tales created by particular communities or societies.  Having the setting in the 1960s of post-war Japan, this animated film mediates the meaning of the tanuki’s moves in selected scenes. Therefore, Barthesian semiotic model is employed as semiotics itself is concerned with the film and its representation. This research is then aimed at finding out the representation of the tanuki. Employing qualitative method, this research selects six data in the forms of images to analyze. The results yield that the tanuki are the heroes of environmental conservation by struggling and using force for the sake of their environment, jungle, food sources, living territory, and future cubs. Their moves of defending nature represent their ecological terroristic ideology or ecoterrorism.

Abstract

Online brochures are one of the preferred choices in describing the advertisement’s worth of many linguistic features. ‘Parenting’ strategies are one of the topics which are discussed in the online brochures. We can find the quotes and problem-solving about ‘parenting’ spread in cyberspace. Online parenting brochures are made by a personal or community to share that importance. The clause in parenting brochures discourse has a semantic meaning of its speech function. The language of the brochures was examined by using Halliday’s theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), then it was found that the language in the brochures was formulated interpersonally. The meanings of the clause are developed in any interactive features in exchanging the giving and demanding move of speech function. This research was conducted qualitatively by analyzing 48 clauses in the brochures. It was found that the most commonly used linguistic clause in the brochures was the statement (71%) as a way of giving information to the readers. Then the rest was the command (29%) for the parents or the childminder to be applied in nurturing the children. Besides, multimodal strategies were also used to make the brochures more eye-catching. The semiotics modes used in the brochures were supported by the meaning making of the discourse. The readers were also invited to comprehend the urgent situation of the topic discussed.

Abstract

The challenge of escape clauses in various policies has been a longstanding issue for policy scholars worldwide. This challenge is also prevalent in South African institutions, particularly in their language policies. This article reports on the findings of a desk-based investigation into the escape clause "whenever practicable" as found in various language policies. A textual analysis of language policies from specifically selected institutions was conducted. The research argues that language planning agencies in these institutions have inadvertently or deliberately included escape clauses as a mechanism to allow for flexibility in case of difficulties in implementing certain provisions of the policies. Data were collected from the language policies of seven universities and three government departments using convenient sampling. Discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data, focusing on the linguistic meaning of the selected extracts containing escape clauses. The analysis revealed several key findings: the language policies examined confirmed the presence of various escape clauses expressed in different ways; these escape clauses contribute to the lack of implementation of these language policies; and the absence of non-compliance clauses also contributes to the lack of implementation. The findings clearly indicate that escape clauses are a critical pivot around which the escape mechanisms in these selected language policies revolve. Therefore, we argue that the use of escape clauses should be limited and highly regulated.

Abstract

Implementing English as a mandatory language for teaching remains a contentious policy, especially among educators who are not English subject teachers or do not come from the English department. This research investigates the policies, opportunities, and challenges associated with enforcing English language policies in Islamic schools in Indonesia. Using a mixed-method design, the study surveyed 77 participants from various Islamic schools across Indonesia, employing questionnaires, observations, and interviews for data collection. The findings reveal that specific policies in Indonesian Islamic schools can address three key aspects: justification (addressing particular needs and challenges while maximizing benefits and minimizing drawbacks), logic (strategic implementation to optimize outcomes), and feasibility (practicality and achievability of implementing English language policies). Furthermore, English language policies present significant opportunities, such as enhanced global competence, economic empowerment, educational advancement, cultural exchange and understanding, technological integration, and international collaboration and partnerships. However, several challenges hinder the implementation of these policies, including the preservation of cultural identity and values, resource constraints, language proficiency, resistance to change, and assessment and evaluation. Future research is expected to explore new strategies to overcome these challenges and maximize the opportunities of using English in Indonesian Islamic schools, thereby ensuring the success of English language policies.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the translator's habitus and translation ideology in translating the concept of capitals that exists in the two main characters in the novel Bumi Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by taking a case study of two chapters in Bumi Manusia and its translation in English. The study found 30 expressions containing modals in the two main characters in chapters 5 and 7. The translation procedures carried out by the translator consist of standard translation (one datum), transference (15 data), modulation (four data), literal (six data), addition (one datum), contextual equivalence (two data), and paraphrasing (one datum). From Minke's character, there were 11 translations with the ideology of domestication and seven data of foreignization; and from Nyai Ontosoroh's character, only one expression that was translated domestically, and the other 11 data were foreignized. Therefore, 12 out of 30 data, i.e., 40%, were translated with domestication ideology, while 18 out of 30 data or 60% were translated with foreignization ideology. In conclusion, a translator's habitus influenced his way of translating which automatically directed his translation ideology.
