Abstract

Many English literary works have been translated into Indonesian since so many readers are interested in the English literary works. But nowadays, Indonesian literary works have also been translated into English due to Indonesian authors internationally acknowledged. One of them is Intan Paramaditha Book entitled Spinner of Darkness & Other Tales. The stories in this book have been translated into English and German. This article aims to show how Conditional Sentences in the stories are being translated into English and what literary translation strategies were used to translate them. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The Literary translation of conditional sentences and the use of the literary translation strategies are analyzed and described qualitatively. The result of the study showed that conditional sentences are translated into three different types of English conditional sentences. 10% of the data are translated into Conditional sentences type 1, 80% of the data are translated into conditional sentences type 2, and 10% of the data are translated into Conditional sentences type 3. There are three literary translation strategies used to translate conditional sentences; 50% of the data used helper strategy, 30% of the data used adherent strategy and 20% of the data used observer strategy. Thus, the literary translation approach that is mostly used in this study is a biased approach since helper strategy belongs to Biased principal-strategies as stated by Kazakova (2015).

Abstract

This research aims to explore the visual semiotics of Mykonos' Milk Drops series, a collection of unisex fragrances that challenge traditional gender norms in the perfume industry. The study investigates how the packaging of these fragrances communicates the essence of the scents within, focusing on the signs and symbols employed to convey meaning and evoke consumer interest. This qualitative research employs purposive sampling to focus on three specific variants of Mykonos' Milk Drops series: Milk Drops, Pink Drops, and Café Drops. The study applies Peirce's triadic semiotic theory to examine the non-verbal signs found on the packaging, classifying them as Qualisigns, Sinsigns, Icons,  Indexes, Rheme and Dicents. This research offers valuable insights into the role of visual semiotics in the fragrance industry, particularly regarding unisex perfumes. By demonstrating how packaging can encapsulate complex ideas and emotions through visual language, the study emphasizes the significance of design in marketing strategies and its potential impact on consumer behavior. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how brands can leverage visual communication to create meaningful connections with their audience.

Abstract

The false narrative of settler colonialism is a form of colonial narrative through literacy media carried out to be able to control an area and eliminate the identity of the indigenous population of a community. This study aims to dismantle the false narrative contained in one of the Israeli children's story books entitled "Alon and Lebanon". The theoretical basis used in this study is the Critical Discourse Analysis Theory by Teun A. Van Dijk (2001), this theory offers two concepts of analysis levels, namely microlevel analysis and macrolevel analysis. The supporting theories used in this study are Marcel Danesi's Narrative Theory (2004) and Evelyn Nakana Glenn's Settler Colonialism Theory (2014). The study was conducted using qualitative methods. The results of the study show that in the Israeli children's story book entitled "Alon and Lebanon" two types of false narratives were found, namely absurd narrative and deceptive narrative.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the names of colours in the Sikka Language, analyze the connotations associated with these colours, and investigate their functions within the Sikka community. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and data elicitation with native speakers from Wolomotong Village. Data analysis employed the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory to uncover the semantic and cultural meanings of colour terms. The findings reveal that the Sikka Language categorizes colours into three groups: basic colours, such as red (merak), white (bura), and black (mitan); derived colours, such as yellow (heret), green (daan), blue (daan wair) and brown(meran); and modern or borrowed colours, such as purple (langor), orange (heret duan), and pink (meran nurak). Colours in the Sikka Language carry profound connotative meanings tied to cultural and social contexts, including symbolic associations with beauty, courage, purity, and prosperity. Additionally, colours serve vital functions as markers of social identity, integral components of traditional rituals, and mediums for conveying cultural values. This study contributes to the field of semantics by offering insights into the interplay between language, culture, and cognition. Furthermore, it supports the preservation and promotion of local languages and cultural heritage.

Abstract

This research presents a semiotic analysis in an episode of a television series. The objective of this research is to analyze symbols in Moon Knight Episode 5: Asylum using Pierce's triadic model of signs, which consists of Representamen (the form of the sign), Object (the subject the sign refers to), and Interpretant (the meaning generated in the observer's mind). The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method through library research. Key symbolic elements, such as the asylum, the goddess Taweret, and the feather of the truth, are examined as signs that carry layered meanings related to identity, guilt, healing, and rebirth. The researchers found and analyzed 10 symbols in the studied episode. This analysis reveals how the episode constructs psychological, mythological, and moral meanings through visual and narrative symbolic signs to represent the main character's inner emotional states. Furthermore, the analyzed episode serves as a powerful example of how visual narration and semiotic structures can merge to explore mental health, identity fragmentation, and the quest for self-acceptance.

Abstract

This research analyzes the exorcism dialog in the film The Pope's Exorcist (2023), especially the prayers uttered by the main character in the exorcism ritual. The purpose of this research is to describe the speech acts elements in the exorcism prayers using Austin's (1962) speech acts theory which includes locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary, so as to explain whether the utterances in the exorcism prayers are constative or performative according on their respective characteristics. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with pragmatics analysis approach. Data in the form of exorcism prayers excerpts were analyzed based on the three main elements of speech acts. The results show that locutionary act reflect the typical structure of general prayers and exorcism prayers in the Catholic Church's faith. Illocutionary act function as commands, requests, and declaratives that reflect the spiritual authority of the exorcist. While perlocutionary act have an impact on demon and the possessed individual. Overall, exorcism prayers tends to be performative in nature as it not only conveys meaning (constative), but also acts visibly in the context of religious rituals. This research contributes to the study of pragmatic linguistics in religious-horror films and provides insight into the use of language in the context of religious rituals, especially in the case of exorcism.

Abstract

Pragmatics, a branch of linguistics, examines how context influences meaning in communication. This study applies H.P. Grice’s theory of implicature to explore how Ed Sheeran’s lyrics convey implicit meanings that deepen emotional impact and engage listeners. While modern music often carries rich emotional undertones, the subtle, implied meanings in lyrics are frequently overlooked. Recognizing these layers is key to understanding how language in music communicates complex feelings and experiences. The research aimed to identify and categorize conventional and conversational implicatures in five selected songs: The A Team, Bloodstream, Castle on the Hill, Photograph, and Salt Water. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzed lyrical content in both auditory and visual formats, focusing on how context and shared knowledge influence interpretation. A total of 32 implicatures were identified 15 conventional and 17 conversational each contributing uniquely to the listener’s emotional and interpretive experience. These findings highlight Sheeran’s ability to encode meaning through culturally familiar expressions and subtle narrative cues, enhancing the depth and relatability of his music. This study contributes to both linguistic and music discourse by addressing a gap in research on implicature in popular music. It underscores the importance of pragmatic analysis in understanding artistic language and offers insights into how implicit communication shapes listener engagement and emotional connection.
