Abstract

Abstract. This study examines the translation of kompositum (compound words) in German legal texts into Indonesian through a qualitative comparative analysis of two machine translation tools: Google Translate and DeepL. The analysis is conducted based on three key criteria: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Selected legal texts containing complex kompositum, such as "ärztliche Bescheinigung für Jugendliche” and “Berufsausbildungsvertrag”, are analyzed to evaluate the performance of each tool in conveying meaning, contextual appropriateness, and linguistic fluency. The findings reveal that both tools demonstrate a high level of accuracy in translating legal kompositum, but DeepL consistently outperforms Google Translate in terms of acceptability and readability, producing more natural and contextually appropriate translations. Google Translate, while accurate, occasionally results in translations that are less fluent and less acceptable in formal contexts. These findings highlight the strengths and limitations of each tool, providing valuable insights for translators and researchers working with German- Indonesian legal texts. Keywords: Kompositum, German legal texts, machine translation, Google Translate, DeepL, accuracy, acceptability, readability, comparative analysis, German-Indonesian translation

Abstract

Abstract. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how exoticism in fantasy literature is shaped by cultural backgrounds and the use of magical elements. . A comparative qualitative approach is used due to the use of narrative analysis in this study and is necessary to determine the similarities of the study objects. This study analyzes elements such as objects, characters, dialogues or narratives, and rituals or customs collected from both novels as primary data sources. The finding shows the distinct cultural background to build the exoticism. Harry Potter draws extensively from Western and Europe traditions, folklore, myths, and Greek mythology, applying these to create its magical world. In contrast, Archipelagos adopts Asian culture, particularly Indonesian traditions, to enhance the exoticism of its story. The magical elements in this novel are deeply connected to human relationships with nature and animistic beliefs that are central to Indonesian culture. Voldemort and Berong are cultural villain conceptions that have a strong basis in their respective mythologies. The different cultural influences in each novel appear in these differences.   The research demonstrates that the cultural context is important in the development of exoticism in fantasy literature Keywords: exoticism, comparative analysis, fantasy, harry potter, magical element, novel

Abstract

Abstract. German language learning at Bali Tourism Polytechnic (BiTP), particularly in reading skills, often faces challenges in effectiveness and student engagement. Students tend to passively receive material in class and lack motivation to develop reading skills independently. This study aims to improve German reading skills and foster independent learning motivation through the Flipped Classroom model. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR), the study examines the model’s application in teaching "Deutsch im Restaurant," focusing on reading skills. Research instruments include participatory observation, reading tests, motivation questionnaires, and lecturer reflection notes. Conducted in 5th-semester Food and Beverage Service classes, the study followed Poltekpar Bali’s daily schedule. The approach allows students to study materials at home via readings and videos, maximizing class time for discussions and deeper comprehension. The results demonstrate that the Flipped Classroom model is effective in improving German reading skills, with significant enhancements in text comprehension and active student participation. The implementation of this method also successfully increased students' independent learning motivation. The global implication of this research is the potential for the Flipped Classroom model to be adapted in other foreign language learning contexts, particularly in enhancing reading skills and self-directed learning across various educational institutions. However, the application of the Flipped Classroom model also presents challenges, such as varying levels of independent learning abilities among students. Therefore, lecturers need to prepare materials thoroughly and provide clear guidance to ensure all students can optimally benefit from this method. Keywords: Deutsch im Restaurant, Flipped Classroom, Reading Skills

Abstract

Abstract. To understand how individuals convey meaning or information, manage relationships with others, and navigate power dynamics in communication, one needs to know the meaning and types of speech acts especially. This study aims to analyze school communication in the Abbott Elementary series through the lens of speech act theory, focusing on how different types of illocutionary acts are used to shape classroom interactions. This research provides a novel contribution to the linguistic field by analyzing speech acts specifically in the educational setting. This study uses a qualitative approach to explore communication dynamics by using discourse analysis to identify and categorize the illocutionary acts present in the three episodes in the first series to answer the first problem. Then, the data obtained will also be calculated and analyzed to answer the second research question, namely the type of speech acts that appear most often. As a result, this study found that the series includes all five types of speech acts in its communication, and the representative type has the highest intensity of occurrence in the three episodes of the first series that was studied. This finding can provide valuable insight into the role of language, especially in the educational environment Keywords: Abbott Elementary, School Communication, Speech Act

Abstract

Abstract. Public signs play a crucial role in the reader because they invite various issues from across cultures. Some research aims of this study try to describe the attitude (affect, judgment, and appreciation) in the source text and target text and translation techniques used by translators in translating public signs. This research is categorized as qualitative research type, to achieve the first aim the researcher applies the SFL approach. The data of this study is a pair of translations (public signs) in the form of phrases and clauses. The instruments used in this study are a camera (mobile phone) and an observation sheet. The researchers apply the theory of appraisal (Martin & White, 2005) and translation techniques (Molina and Albir, 2012). The total data for this study are 34 pairs of translations. The major result showed that, 1) the attitudinal in the source text (affect:7,40%, judgment: 59.2%, appreciation: 33.33% ) however, in the target text (affect:7.1%, judgment: 50%, appreciation:42.8%) 2) the translation techniques (literal translation: 68.75%, Reduction: 12.5%, Amplification: 9.3% and modulation: 9.3%). As the implication of this study, a shift can be occured to keep the better attitude from ST to TT. Keywords: Attitude, Translation techniques, Public sign

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to examine Cristiano Ronaldo's illocutionary speech acts and how they affect his personality in the context of football. The study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology to analyze transcripts of ten interviews and podcasts covering Ronaldo's career, from his early days at Manchester United to his most recent appearances. The analysis employs Searle's (1969) classification of illocutionary acts—representatives, directives, commissives, declarative, and expressive—alongside Sperber and Wilson's (1996) Relevance Theory and McCrae's (1999) Five-Factor Personality Model. The results show that Cristiano Ronaldo used 242 illocutionary speech acts, with 104 representative speech acts accounting for 43% of the total. These acts expressed declarative statements about his abilities and self-confidence, followed by 55 expressives (23%), 40 commissives (16%), 36 directives (15%), and 7 declaratives (3%). These patterns reflect key personality traits: high Openness (articulating beliefs candidly), Conscientiousness (goal-oriented commitments), extraversion (emotional engagement with audiences), moderate Agreeableness (collaborative directives), and low Neuroticism (stable emotional expressions). The study concludes that Cristiano Ronaldo's strategic use of speech acts not only shapes his public persona as a disciplined and inspirational figure but also corresponds to the psychological characteristics that support his professional success and cultural influence. This integration of pragmatic and psycholinguistic frameworks provides new insights into how linguistic behaviour reflects and reinforces personality in high-stakes situations. Keywords: Cristiano Ronaldo; interviews; illocutionary acts; personality traits; psycho-pragmatics
