Abstract

This study identifies the language features used by Jehian Panangian in same-sex conversations with different addressees, Raymond Chin (same age and status) and Hermanto Tanoko (older and higher status), in podcasts. It also explores the differences and similarities in Jehian’s utterances when conversing with each addressee, utilizing Coates’ (2013) language features theory and Holmes’ (2013) theories on age and status. Jehian's utterances were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative approach. The findings showed that Jehian used swearing and taboo language and compliments with Raymond but not with Hermanto. Jehian used more minimal responses, tag questions, and commands and directives with Raymond. Jehian also used more casual expressions and different functions on particular language features. Despite these differences, the dominant and less frequently used language features were similar in both conversations. In conclusion, the addressee’s age and status significantly influenced the speaker’s language features, alongside the host’s style and discussion topic.

Abstract

Ahmad Tohari is one of the most famous Indonesian contemporary novelists, whose works are praised for their social and environmental criticism. The Red Bekisar is one of Tohari’s stories which specifically focuses on the danger of metropolitan life compared to the wisdom of the traditional way of living close to nature and God. With a woman as the lead character, The Red Bekisar might pass as a literary work representing environmental and feminist values at first glance. However, this research argues that when analyzed from the framework of ecofeminism, especially concerning the symbolic connection between nature and women, The Red Bekisar uses languages that naturalize women and feminize nature. It presents nature and women according to the patriarchal bias; as "others" who are wild, alluring to be conquered, dependent on male caretakers, and ultimately, as less than men.

Abstract

Translators employ strategies as not every word has its direct equivalence in another language. This study aims to examine the strategies employed in the translation of dialogue texts and narrations found in Raider of the Copper Hill into Indonesian. Furthermore, the writer employs a qualitative approach using Baker’s (2018) strategies to examine each dialogue text and narration in the comic and see whether the strategies succeed in maintaining the meaning. Baker’s (2018) strategies the translator uses to translate the dialogue texts, namely: translation by a more general word, by a less expressive word, by cultural substitution, using a related word, by paraphrase using unrelated words, and by omission. To translate the narrations, the translator employs the same strategies except the less expressive word strategy. However, some tones and humor contained in the texts get altered.

Abstract

This study analyzes the narrative structure of OMORI, a 2020 psychological horror RPG by Omocat, focusing on its portrayal of trauma through the protagonist Sunny. Incorporating Bal’s (2017) narratology and Wei’s (2011) narrative framework, this study examines techniques that contribute to unpredictability and trauma-driven narrative. Using Bermejo-Berros et al.’s (2022) narrative tension theory and Green and Brock’s (2000) transportation theory, the study reveals how each technique, respectively, incites immersive horror and emotional connection in players. Unpredictability can create immersive horror through narrative tension, whereas trauma-driven narrative may create an emotional connection by making the players sympathize with the character. Through its placement and presentation of sequences, the game evokes cognitive and emotional responses in players. The narrative structure in OMORI highlights the impact of unpredictability and trauma-driven narratives in game storytelling. Analyzing the game’s sequences and mechanics reveals their role in creating profound emotional experiences for players.

Meanwhile, she used all the types of impoliteness functions, with coercive impoliteness function being the most used, followed by affective and entertaining functions. She applied coercive most often to get clear answers from Mr. Chew and to exercise her power. In conclusion, the chairperson utilized impoliteness strategies on purpose to exercise her power, to obtain social dominance, and to establish superiority during the conversation.
