Abstract

Being polite linguistically is one issue that is faced by the students right now. The way they text their lecturer reflects their politeness. This research aimed at finding out the students’ politeness in texting their lecturer which in this research was their final project advisor. The research was conducted in qualitative and the data were taken from the students’ texts received by the lecturer. In this research, the text was collected from WhatsApp application. There were 37 messages collected and analyzed. Most of them were texts from the students to their advisor. The data were analyzed by using theory from Brown and Levinson (1987) as the guidance. The result showed that most of the students started their text with the greeting but mostly in informal way. Then, some FTAs were also found in the students’ texts which were possibly done by the students by coincidence. They seemed to be unaware to destroy the hearer’s face (in this case the lecturer). The most used politeness strategy by students in texting the lecturer was bald on-record (18 messages) and the least used was off-record (one message). Then, a few texts showed that some students applied negative politeness strategies where they considered status, time and apology for interrupting the lecturers. Positive politeness was also found in the students’ texts to the lecturer. This research is expected to inspire other researchers to conduct more comprehensive research related to the students’ politeness in texting their lecturers. This research did not only offer an analysis of students’ politeness to the lecturers which has been commonly done, it showed the politeness of the students to their advisor. This research focused more on investigating the students’ politeness in texting their advisor through WhatsApp Text.

Abstract

This is a linguistic research of translation which presents an analysis of explicitation in the novel entitled Pembunuhan di Malam Natal which is the Indonesian translation of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot’s Christmas. The purposes of this research are: (1) to find out what types of explicitation occurred in the novel Pembunuhan di Malam Natal and (2) to find out what the reasons of the explicitations. The method used in this researcher is a qualitative method through library research. The researcher takes the first 50 data of explicitation found in the translation and analyzes them using the concept of explicitation by Murtisari (2013) which is based on the Relevance Theory. In identifying the reasons of explicitation, the researcher uses the theory by Larson (1984). The results of this research show that the types of explicitation found in the novel Pembunuhan di Malam Natal are scalar and categorical explicitation. Whereas, the reasons of explicitation identified are the necessity for correct and clear expression of the source meaning, the needed for naturalness of style or to create the same emotive effect as the source text, and to explicate the truly implicit information in the source text. There is no explicitation due to the requirement for the grammar of the target language is because of the fact that English language has more specific grammar rule, i.e., tenses than Indonesian language’s rule. Thus it can be concluded that what occurs in case of grammar between the source text and the target text is instead implicitation, not explicitation.
