Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between lexical diversity (LD) and writing competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) among 66 Hungarian and 64 Jordanian university students. After completing a bilingual language profile, participants wrote narratives following a silent film and were analyzed using Text Inspector. Results showed a significant positive correlation between writing competence scores and LD measures (VocD and MTLD) in both groups, with slightly higher scores for Hungarians. The Hungarian group had more participants at the C1 level, while Jordanians were predominant at B2. Gender differences in LD and writing competence were observed but not statistically significant. This research provides practical insights for educators, highlighting the correlation between writing competence and LD, and offering implications for effective language-learning strategies in the EFL context.

Abstract

This article reports on a study of the codeswitches produced by three Maghreb Arabic-French-English adult speakers in their informal conversation. The corpus of the data consists of natural data collected by means of audio-recording. The researcher undertook a quantitative analysis of the participants’ codeswitches to examine the frequency, patterns and linguistic combinations of these codeswitches. The findings revealed that participants engaged in multilingual communication, with a preference for Maghreb Arabic, though they demonstrated proficiency in French and English. While CS occurred at varying rates among participants, the study identified diverse and complex CS patterns, including both intrasentential and intersentential switches. Notably, participants frequently alternated languages within their turns, with the majority of switches occurring between Maghreb Arabic and French, as well as Maghreb Arabic and English. However, about 12.7% of intrasentential switches involved all three languages. This study offers trilingual data that researchers can use for comparative analyses and reference in their own investigations.

Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating types of code-mixing and code-switching as challenges in language identification in online mass media. Journalists mostly mix language to emphasize particular topics and to reiterate them as well. It becomes a challenging task to identify automatic language used with special language. It is focused on articles published in the mass media in Tempo Magazine 2023, in which the media illustrate Indonesian news, the economy, and politics. The method of qualitative research is used to describe the use of code-mixing and code-switching as challenge identification in mass media with documentary techniques. The technique conducted involves reading, studying, identifying, classifying, and analyzing data. Codified standardized English proposes intra-sentential switching, inter-sentential switching, tag switching, and intra-word switching. Meanwhile, the types of code-mixing, insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization are identified and analyzed. The data analysis used a process of organizing, analyzing, and interpreting qualitative data into code-switching and code-mixing classifications. The study result is found that 14 code-mixing and code-switching were found

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the types of deixis found in the song lyrics of Dynamite by Bangtan Sonyeondan and the function of the deixis, which was used in the song lyrics of Dynamite performed by Bangtan Sonyeondan. This research used the deixis theory from George Yule. The researcher used a descriptive-qualitative method through library research. The song lyrics for Dynamite, performed by Bangtan Sonyeondan, were the basis of this research. The data collection was downloaded from the internet, and it was analyzed by listening to a song, reading the script of the song lyrics, and identifying, classifying, and drawing conclusions. The findings of the study showed that the researcher found that there are 3 types of deixis, namely person deixis, spatial deixis, and temporal deixis. The appearance frequency of person deixis is 51 times, while spatial deixis is 17 times, and temporal deixis is 14 times. The function of person deixis is more directed at indicating or mentioning the person. In addition, there are indications of repetition of the use of the noun in the song lyric line; through pragmatic analysis, it turns out that the repetition of the word has a different meaning.

Abstract

This is a brief analysis of subordinate clauses found in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour. Three types of clauses were identified according to their function within the complex sentences to which they belong. The three types are complement clauses, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses. Complement clauses are marked by that. Relative clauses are introduced by that, who, which, or whose. Adverbial clauses are marked by as or when. In terms of their structural types, two types of clauses were found: finite and non-finite clauses.

Abstract

This research investigates the translation strategies in the bilingual cookbook "Resep Masakan Indonesia di 5 Benua," focusing on Indonesian culinary terms translated into English. The study aims to identify translation techniques, apply Cultural-Specific Items (CSI), and evaluate functional equivalence between Bahasa Indonesia and English. Data were collected from the cookbook using a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis categorized translation techniques based on Newmark's (1998) Molina and Albir's (2002) framework, identified CSIs per Menu, and evaluated functional equivalence using Nida and Taber's theory. Data collection involved reading and categorizing recipes, noting translation techniques, and analyzing CSIs and functional equivalence. Results show Transference as the most dominant technique (53.57%), preserving original Indonesian terms for cultural authenticity. Literal Translation was used in 46.43% of cases for precise translations. Ingredients were the most frequent CSI (82.14%), emphasizing their importance in Indonesian cuisine. Functional equivalence analysis showed a higher use of Formal Equivalence (67.48%) over Dynamic Equivalence (32.52%), indicating a preference for maintaining original structure and terminology. This study highlights the importance of balancing accuracy and cultural adaptation in culinary Translation to maintain recipe authenticity while ensuring comprehensibility. The findings contribute to understanding translation strategies in culinary contexts, emphasizing the challenges and solutions in preserving cultural heritage through language.

Abstract

Research indicates that the German reading abilities of children with migration backgrounds are generally inferior when compared to their monolingual German counterparts. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on Turkish-German bilingual children, with limited attention given to those who speak other first languages. Notably, the reading skills of bilingual Arabic-German children have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study aims to assess the German reading speed at the word level among bilingual Arabic-German students in Germany. A one-minute reading test was administered to a sample of 66 bilingual Arabic-German children, with a mean age of 9;02 years. One group of 33 children received instruction in both German and Arabic, while the other group of 33 received only German instruction in school, with Arabic being taught outside of school. The results indicated no significant differences between the groups regarding the German tasks, and neither group exhibited signs of difficulties in German literacy.
