Abstract

This study examines how similes are translated in Tere Liye's 2016 novel Hujan, which is full of figurative language that gives its story emotional and thematic depth. Hujan uses similes to heighten the emotional ambiance while fusing dystopian themes with deep insights on human resilience, love, and grief. The purpose of the study is to determine the kinds of similes that were utilised in the source material and investigate the methods that were used to translate them into English. The study assesses how translation strategies including literal translation, vehicle replacement, and omission preserve the novel's emotional resonance and imagery. The results show that translating similes in Hujan is a difficult procedure that calls for striking a balance between maintaining the original meaning and making adjustments for cultural quirks. The research makes a contribution to a deeper understanding of figurative language translation, particularly in works that bridge cultural and emotional divides.

Abstract

This study discusses the translation of similes in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea and its Indonesian version, Lelaki Tua dan Laut by Sapardi Djoko Damono. It identifies similes in the novel and analyzes the translation strategies used, focusing how these strategies affect the conveyed meaning. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze simile translation strategies based on Pierini’s framework, i.e. (1) literal translation, (2) replacement of the vehicle with a different vehicle, (3) reduction of the simile, idiomatic, to its sense, (4) retention of the same vehicle plus explicitation of similarity feature(s), (5) replacement of the vehicle with a gloss, and (6) omission of the simile. The data consists of similes from The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway that was published in 1952 and Lelaki Tua dan Laut, translated by Sapardi Djoko Damono (1979). Literal translation is the most commonly used strategy, preserving the original structure and meaning, while explicitation and replacement of the vehicle with a different vehicle help improve clarity and cultural relevance. Some similes undergo reduction for simplicity, and while replacement of the vehicle with a gloss provides additional explanation for better comprehension. Omission is the least used strategy, showing the translator’s effort to retain figurative meaning. While many similes maintain their literary and figurative impact, some modifications result in shifts in meaning. This study highlights the challenges of translating literary devices while balancing linguistic and cultural adaptation.

Abstract

This study examines the use of metaphor in five selected poems by Mahmoud Darwish through the lens of conceptual metaphor theory. The research aims to identify the types of metaphors and analyze their expressions in the poems. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were taken from English translations and analyzed based on Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) categories of structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. The analysis identified 37 metaphorical expressions, with ontological metaphors being the most dominant, reflecting Darwish’s way of presenting abstract concepts such as land, memory, and identity in tangible forms. Structural metaphors also appeared significantly, often linking natural imagery with cultural and existential meaning, while orientational metaphors, though less frequent, conveyed symbolic value in spiritual contexts. These findings confirm that metaphor in Darwish’s poetry functions not only as a stylistic feature but as a cognitive tool that transforms personal and collective experiences into vivid imagery. The study concludes that metaphors play a central role in Darwish’s poetic craft and demonstrates the usefulness of conceptual metaphor theory for literary analysis. Although limited to a small sample and translated texts, this research contributes to understanding figurative language in modern Arabic poetry and opens opportunities for broader and comparative studies.

Abstract

Abstract This article examines the dialect variations of the Manggarai language spoken in West Manggarai, Central Manggarai, and East Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Using a sociolinguistic approach and a qualitative descriptive method, the study aims to identify the forms of dialect variations and to describe their functions in everyday communication. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three informants representing each region. The findings reveal four main types of dialect variation: regional (geographic) dialects, social (sociolect) dialects, temporal dialects, and mixed (geosocial) dialects. Regional variations are reflected in differences in vocabulary and pronunciation of greetings, verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Social dialects arise from differences in age, education, and social status, while temporal dialects illustrate generational vocabulary shifts. Mixed dialects appear due to interactions between speakers of different regional and social backgrounds. Furthermore, the study identifies four communicative functions of these dialects: interactional, personal, representational, and heuristic. These functions demonstrate that language variation serves not only as a tool for communication but also as a means of reinforcing identity, expressing emotions, conveying information, and acquiring new knowledge. The results contribute to sociolinguistic studies of Indonesian regional languages and highlight the importance of dialect documentation for cultural preservation and language education. Keywords: Dialect, language variation, sociolinguistics

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of defense mechanisms by Otto Anderson, the main character in the film A Man Called Otto (2022), following the loss of his wife and his struggle to cope with grief and isolation. The focus is on how Otto’s behaviors reflect unconscious strategies used to manage emotional pain. The research applies Anna Freud’s theory of ego defense mechanisms, which identifies unconscious processes that protect individuals from psychological distress. These include denial, repression and the gradual emergence of emotional awareness known as realization. The study uses a Psychological Approach, with data collected through scene observation, dialogue analysis, and film script review. Key scenes were identified and categorized according to Anna Freud’s defense mechanism classifications. The findings reveal that Otto frequently uses denial and repression to avoid discussing or confronting his grief. He rejects help, isolates himself, and avoids emotional topics related to his late wife. Over time, through his connection with a new neighbor, he gradually begins to express care and rebuilds his relationship with life. This shift illustrates that while defense mechanisms initially shield Otto from emotional breakdown, they also prevent him from healing. It is through persistent human connection that Otto slowly moves toward acceptance. The film demonstrates that ego defenses can delay grief processing, but empathy and social support are essential for emotional recovery.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of honesty in the Indonesian film Ipar Adalah Maut using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. It aims to identify verbal and non-verbal signs that signify honesty and interpret their denotative and connotative meanings, highlighting which meaning dominates audience perception. The study applied a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through repeated viewing, dialogue transcription, scene selection, screenshot documentation, and systematic coding of signs. The results show that honesty is expressed not only through dialogue but also through gestures, facial expressions, camera angles, and settings. Denotatively, honesty appears in scenes of confession and truth-telling; connotatively, it represents sincerity, emotional conflict, betrayal, and moral responsibility. The connotative meanings dominate the representation, showing how honesty operates as a moral and cultural value within Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of pluralism in the film Ayat-Ayat Cinta using Budhy Munawar Rachman’s theory of pluralism. The pluralism referred to here is not limited to the acknowledgment of diversity, but also includes the acceptance and appreciation of differences in religion, culture, and worldview within social life. The research method employed is a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation of scenes, dialogues, and narratives in the film that are relevant to the pillars of pluralism according to Budhy Munawar Rachman, namely inclusivity, tolerance, equality and brotherhood, wisdom, and kindness. The findings show that Ayat-Ayat Cinta represents pluralism through the interactions of its characters, who come from different religious and cultural backgrounds, with an emphasis on tolerance, mutual respect, and interfaith cooperation. These findings reinforce the view that film can serve as an effective medium for conveying moral messages and the values of pluralism to society.
