Abstract

Abstract. Noun phrases (NP) are often used in forming sentences in any written work as the subject or object of the sentence. However, less research has been done regarding the use of NP in the English translation of Al-Quran. This paper investigates the patterns of NP in the English translation of Mary (Maryam) of the holy Quran translated by Talal Itani. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzed 163 data found from 98 verses of translated Mary Surah (as instrument) syntactically. Three conclusions can be drawn from this study. Firstly, 38 NP patterns appear with the most frequently used NP pattern being determiner+noun 59 times (36.20%). Second, the NPs used were complex (6.75%), 152 simple NPs (93.25%), 97 specific NPs (59.51%), and 66 general NPs (40.49%). Last, some verses are only phrases and not clauses, so 1 verse consists of 1 complex NP. The implication of this finding will help EFL learners and prospective teachers understand the function and patterns of NP in making good English sentences. This study only focuses on identifying NP patterns, future researchers are suggested to research the function of English NP in each verse in the English translation of the Koran. Keywords: Al-Quran, Function, Mary, Noun Phrase (NP), Pattern, Syntax

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of applying the theory of language politeness as the instruction medium in increasing academic the motivation and self-regulated learning of students, especially in the writing class. This is a quantitative study with an experimental approach. This study only involved one experimental group without the control group as a comparison. The participants in this study were 25 students of the foreign language department who took writing course. Data collection techniques consisted of questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The data analysis technique consisted of descriptive and inferential statistics in the form of a paired sample t-test. The results of the comparison of pre-test and post-test data using the paired sample t-test showed that the significance value (0,000) was smaller than the standard value of the significance value (0.05). This proves that the use of politeness theory of language as the language of instruction in the process of learning could increase student academic motivation and self-regulated learning.Keywords: Academic Motivation, Self-Regulated Learning, Language Decency Theory, Teaching Foreign Language

Abstract

Abstract. This study, titled Translation Shifts in The Crown Netflix Series, aims to identify various types of translation shifts and assess the functional equivalence of these shifts within the context of the Netflix series The Crown. The research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing ten episodes from one season as the primary data. Data collection focused on examining the translated texts accompanying each episode. The analysis is grounded in Catford's theory of translation shifts, which categorizes shifts into two main types: level and category shifts, further subdivided into structure, unit, class, and intra-system shifts. Additionally, the study applies Nida and Taber's functional equivalence theory, distinguishing between formal and dynamic equivalence. The findings reveal 100 level shifts and a significant occurrence of category shifts, with 120 structure shifts, 40 class shifts, 100 unit shifts, and 60 intra-system shifts. Formal equivalence emerged as the most frequently identified type among the translation shifts. The results provide critical global implications for translation practices in media, particularly highlighting the balance between preserving original meanings and adapting content for target audiences across different cultural and linguistic contexts. This research underscores the need for nuanced translation strategies in globally distributed media content. Keywords: Functional equivalence, Qualitative analysis, Translation shifts

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to discuss the symbolic components in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and their significance in depicting mob mentality. The study examines symbols such as the black box, stones, and lottery ritual to illustrate how they reflect the townspeople's collective psyche as well as Jackson's indictment of societal conformity and blind tradition. Literary analysis approaches and symbolic interpretation frameworks serve as the key tools for this study.  Using semiotic and Jungian psychoanalysis, the study investigates the characters' behaviors and the villagers' subconscious within the context of primordialism. According to the research, conformity, peer pressure, and violence are key to mob mentality, which is motivated by a strong sense of tradition. These findings imply that valuing group identification and tradition over individual morality might result in detrimental practices around the world. Keywords: Mob Mentality, Jungian Psychoanalysis, Semiotics, Primordialism, Psychoanalysis

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to ascertain the impact of communication patterns and leadership styles on enhancing employee performance. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Language and Literature, Makassar State University. This research is a qualitative study that employs questionnaires and interviews as data collection techniques. The research data were analyzed using the Miles and Hubermann model, encompassing data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that leaders at the Faculty of Language and Literature, Makassar State University, employed various communication strategies. In general, the communication patterns used by leaders encompass vertical, horizontal, and diagonal communication patterns among leaders, leaders to subordinates, and subordinates to leaders. The data indicates that persuasive, participatory, listening, and transformational communication styles exert a considerable and beneficial influence on employee performance. The combination of leadership communication patterns and styles positively impacts employee performance, including in the processes of discussing and planning a work program, as well as in coordination and decision-making. Positive relationships between leaders and employees are associated with a higher employee work ethic. It can be surmised that leadership communication patterns and styles have a markedly beneficial effect on employee performance and can improve their work performance. The barriers to the interaction between leaders and employees are differences in perception, organizational culture, use of technology, and lack of communication skills. Keywords: Leadership Communication Patterns, Employee Performance, Organizational Communication, Communication Barriers

Abstract

Abstract. Music, as the name suggests, is a cultural product that intersects with human creativity in the realm of entertainment industry. As popular culture and local wisdom collide, music can better portray a particular indigenous society’s characteristics due to the amalgamation of current trends and sacred local values. This study aims to examine the songs of “Lathi” and “Wonderland Indonesia,” interpreting the implicit meanings of any semiotic symbols they contain. The data were obtained from the songs’ music videos published on their official YouTube channels and credible journal articles, utilizing a qualitative-descriptive method and semiotic theory by Roland Barthes. In order to accentuate clarity, this study broke down and mapped out three (3) notable processes such as data collection, data analysis, and data interpretation. The result shows that both “Lathi” and “Wonderland Indonesia” songs’ semiotic signs tend to integrate Indonesian traditional culture with western popular culture. Some evidence include the Indonesian traditional arts (gamelan, wayang kulit, stuffed horse, etc.) and Electronic Dance Music (EDM). In a global context, the songs are intended to embody acculturation between two exceptionally distinct cultures. Despite the widespread of popular culture phenomenon, Indonesians stay committed to upholding nationalism and local wisdom. Let alone the global citizens are more likely to be exposed to Indonesian traditional culture. Keywords: Popular Culture, Local Wisdom, Semiotic, Music, Electronic Dance Music (EDM)
