Abstract

Abstract. This research delved into the translation of culture-bound terms within the context of the Netflix series Unsolved. The study aimed to elucidate the types of culture-bound terms based on Newmark's classification (1988), describe the translation techniques employed following Molina and Albir's framework (2002), and analyze the underlying translation ideology as per Venuti's perspective (1995). This research used a descriptive qualitative approach by using written text to classify and identify the types of culture-bound terms, translation techniques, and the ideology used to translate culture-bound terms. The findings revealed that there are 87 data of culture-bound terms. The researchers found all 5 types of culture-bound terms namely ecology, material culture, social culture, social organization, and gesture & habit. The findings also revealed that there are 10 translation techniques used by the translator to translate culture-bound terms such as amplification (5 data), borrowing (35 data), calque (4 data), description (5 data), established equivalent (9 data), generalization (8 data), literal (15 data), particularization (4 data), reduction (1 data), and variation (1data). Furthermore, the dominant type of culture-bound terms is social organization. For the translation technique, borrowing becomes the most common technique used by the translator. For the translation ideology, the analysis of the translation results, which predominantly favored the target language, suggests that the translator adhered to a domestication ideology. Depart from the findings, further research is needed to analyze other aspects such as the acceptability and readability of the translation.Keywords: culture-bound terms; film; ideology; translation; translation techniquesAbstrak.

Abstract

Folktales have been a medium through which children can transfer knowledge, language, and cultural values at an early age. The existence of folktales cannot be separated from the values prevalent in society. Numerous moral principles are sound for life. As literary works for learning, folktales should introduce gender roles. However, some local cultures and ideologies can represent the role of gender in some areas. Therefore, this study investigates the gender stereotypes in the five most popular Indonesian folktales: Roro Jonggrang, Timun Mas, The Legend of Malin Kundang, The Origin of Lake Toba, and Bawang Merah Bawang Putih. These stories were chosen because they are the most searchable folktales online and are the most used as learning materials in Indonesian school textbooks: English for Nusantara and When English Rings a Bell. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) analyzes the relationship between discourse language and other semiotic cues. The results revealed two aspects of each character's social and domestic roles. The male characters dominate the stories, where male characters are depicted as people who work, travel, and fight. In contrast, female characters are depicted as housewives who do all the housework. This showed a patriarchal culture is involved in the stories, which impacts the portrayal of men and women in society. Therefore, gender construction in these five most popular folktales is needed as they are used as learning materials to teach values to young learners.

Abstract

Making appropriate requests is a crucial aspect of pragmatic competence in language learning. This research aimed to investigate common request strategies used by EFL University Learners at Jambi University when making requests at the ages of 19, 20, and 21. This research design was an intrinsic case study to gain an in-depth knowledge of the phenomenon within its specific context. Data were collected through a written discourse completion test (DCT) from six participants, two from each age group. They were analyzed using discourse analysis, specifically focusing on the request strategies proposed by Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984), Blum-Kulka (1987), and Trosborg (1995). The findings reveal that most participants employed conventionally indirect (hearer-based) strategies in the form of ability, willingness, and permission (25 times, 83.3% frequency of semantic formulas) and conventionally indirect request (speaker-based) strategies in the form of desires/needs (3 times, 10% frequency of semantic formulas), followed by direct request strategies in the form of performatives (2 times, 6.6% frequency of semantic formulas). The research concluded that conventionally indirect request strategies (hearer-based) in the form of ability, willingness, and permission are mostly used in making requests among the studied age groups. It also found that age influenced how social power as a social variable maintained smooth social interactions in making requests. Those different age groups exhibited diversities in the use of directness level in making requests based on the age gap between the speaker and the hearer. Additionally, the research indicates how the focus shifts to the hearer's wants as the speaker casts requests in various direct forms. This suggests that people tend to make requests subtly, especially within academic settings. These findings have important implications for language teaching and pragmatics instruction, potentially influencing approaches to improving learner awareness of appropriate request strategies in academic and social contexts.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the translation techniques and find similarities and differences between Google Translate provided by Twitter and Naver Papago ability to translate the nonstandard word contained in @akunyakul’s tweet. This research used Molina & Albir’s (2002) framework to analyze the type of translation techniques applied in translating 131 nonstandard words. The results reveal that there are 6 translation techniques used in translating nonstandard words: adaptation, established equivalent, generalization, literal translation, particularization, and transposition. The most applied translation technique is literal translation since the machines do not understand the context and language style of the tweets. Based on the analysis, the similarities are both machines generally apply the same technique to translate nonstandard words. Meanwhile, the difference is that Google Translate provided by Twitter succeeded in translating more nonstandard words than did Naver Papago. Therefore, it can be said that Google Translate provided by Twitter is better able to translate nonstandard words than Naver Papago. This research suggests that translation machines especially Google Translate provided by Twitter and Naver Papago improve their ability to translate nonstandard words, especially in terms of local language, shortened forms, gestures, common particles, slang words, and writing style.

Abstract

English language proficiency is critical for doctoral candidates, particularly in non-English-speaking countries like Indonesia, where mastery of reading and writing in English is essential for academic success. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TOEFL scores as indicators of doctoral students' abilities to comprehend and produce scientific texts in English. However, few studies have investigated how TOEFL scores represent doctoral students’ reading and writing abilities in scientific texts from the viewpoints of the individuals directly engaged. Thus, this qualitative study addresses the research gap by employing semi-structured interviews with four doctoral students from the Faculty of Agriculture at a public university in Malang, Indonesia, and the Head of the Doctoral Study Program. The data were analyzed inductively using Bloom's taxonomy to assess the depth and complexity of the participants' linguistic readiness. The results were then classified based on the Bloom Taxonomy level from the fundamental knowledge comprehension to the creation of doctoral candidates' scientific articles. The study's findings underscore the need for more comprehensive assessments of English proficiency in postgraduate admissions. While higher TOEFL scores generally indicate better comprehension and writing skills, they do not consistently reflect the specific competencies required for scientific writing. This suggests that the TOEFL score may be insufficient as a sole metric for linguistic readiness. The study contributes to policy discussions by highlighting this need, particularly in disciplines requiring specialized academic writing skills.
