Abstract

This study aims to analyze the discrepancy between meaning and context in the translation of bilingual (Indonesian-English) traffic signs in Bali. This phenomenon is interesting to study, considering that Bali, as an international tourist destination, demands that foreign tourists understand public information. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. Data were collected through documentation and observation of signs found in tourism areas. The analysis was conducted based on the translation principles according to Vinay and Darbelnet's theory. The results show that there are discrepancies in meaning due to the application of literal translation techniques and a lack of understanding of the cultural and functional context of the signs. In addition, it was found that some translations contain ambiguities, grammatical errors, and the translators did not consider the target audience. These findings indicate a low competence in selecting appropriate translation techniques, which impacts the quality of public sign translations in Bali as a tourism area. Therefore, the study recommends technical translation training, the development of standard sign translation guidelines, intersectoral collaboration, and further research using other theoretical approaches. With these steps, it is hoped that the translation of bilingual traffic signs in Bali can be more accurate, communicative, and effective in conveying messages to local people and tourists.

Abstract

This study analyzes the ideological content of Prabowo Subianto’s speech at the G20 Summit using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The research aims to explore how Prabowo constructs political narratives around food security and the Gaza conflict to reinforce Indonesia’s domestic and global positioning. The analysis focuses on three CDA dimensions: micro (text), mezzo (discursive practice), and macro (social practice), exploring how language reflects and shapes ideology and power. By examining linguistic features, discursive practices, and broader social contexts, the study reveals how language is employed to legitimize leadership, align national priorities with international values, and advocate for multilateral cooperation. The findings show that Prabowo’s rhetorical strategies effectively merge national interests with global concerns, reflecting Indonesia’s aspirations as a representative of the Global South and a proponent of peace, justice, and sustainable development.

Abstract

The use of language is considered one of the best means of communication to demonstrate interaction between social media users. One example is the interaction between Generations Y and Z in tweets on social media X. The large number of tweets uploaded has given rise to a linguistic phenomenon that can be studied, namely taboo language. This study focuses on taboo language that uses certain words or phrases in posts on social media X. The research was conducted to increase knowledge regarding the types, functions, and causes of the prevalence of taboo language among Generations Y and Z. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative method. The results of the study found taboo language among Generations Y and Z in the Ngeluh Safe Space community on the X application, covering 9 types of taboo language categories, 3 functions of taboo language, and 4 causes of taboo language usage.

Abstract

This study examines reduplication patterns in Balinese using a corpus-based approach, highlighting the language’s rich and complex morphology. The data source is Kumpulan Satua (Balinese Folktales) by Suwija, Darmada, and Mulyawan (2019), consisting of 62 narrative texts converted into plain text and processed with AntConc 3.5.8. Reduplicated forms were identified with Regular Expressions (Regex), yielding 142 valid instances after filtering and verification. Analysis combined quantitative frequency counts with qualitative classification based on Carstairs-McCarthy (2002) and Sneddon (2020). Results show that partial reduplication (40.78%) and full reduplication (39.47%) dominate, confirming their central role in lexical formation and semantic extension. Other types—Ca-reduplication (13.82%), vowel alternation (12.50%), and echo-words (6.58%)—further illustrate the language’s phonological and semantic creativity. The identification of Ca-reduplication as a productive process contributes new insights to Balinese linguistics. Overall, the study advances understanding of Balinese morpho-semantics while offering implications for grammar teaching, language preservation, and curriculum design.

Abstract

Comedy movies frequently present impolite utterances due to the emotional dynamics that color character interactions. This study aimed to identify and examine the types of conventionalised impoliteness strategies used by the main characters in the movie “Instant Family”. It adopted Culpeper’s (2011) theory of conventionalised impoliteness, which classifies nine commonly recognised types of offensive utterances. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected from the movie script and were analysed through categorisation and contextual interpretation. The findings revealed that all nine types of strategies appeared in the characters’ utterances, with pointed criticisms/complaints and insults being the most frequent. These results suggested that impoliteness strategies were influenced by the characters’ emotional roles and power dynamics within the family context. In sum, this study contributed to a better understanding of how conventionalised impoliteness functioned in fictional family discourse and expanded the application of interactional pragmatics in media-based studies.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates the female santris’ English segmental pronunciation errors, attributed to L1 phonological transfer from the dissimilar sound systems of English and Indonesian. Data from ten participants, collected via audio recordings, revealed systematic substitution and deletion processes affecting consonant and vowel phonemes. Consonantal errors included the substitution of /v/ with [f], /ð/ with [d] or [θ], /θ/ with [t] or [s], /tʃ/ with [c], /ʒ/ with [ʃ], /ʃ/ with [s], and /z/ with [s], alongside the deletion of /k/, /ɡ/, /t/, and /s/ within consonant clusters. Vowel inaccuracies involved alterations in tongue height and length, such as raising /ɪ/ to /i/, shortening /iː/ to /e/ or /ɛ/, and elongating /ʊ/ to /uː/, coupled with centralization and diphthongization processes. The findings indicate that these are not random errors but manifestations of a coherent, alternative phonological system. This system exhibits a preference for voiceless over voiced fricatives, stops over interdental fricatives, a marked simplification of complex consonant clusters, and a reorganized vowel space that avoids peripheral, tense, or distinct lax vowels. The study provides an empirical basis for targeted pedagogical interventions and contributes to establishing a detailed phonological error profile for Indonesian EFL learners in the Pesantren context.

Abstract

An abstract should accompany each manuscript; it should be completely self-consistent (i.e., In children’s literature, protagonists are often highlighted as role models, while antagonists are frequently overlooked, despite their crucial role in creating conflict and shaping the plot. Thus, this study explores the characterization of the Lady of the Green Kirtle, the main antagonist in The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis. An interactive, qualitative method, as described by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, was employed in this research. As the main instrument, close reading of the novel was employed to identify and analyze specific subsequences containing the antagonist’s behaviors. The findings reveal that the Lady of the Green Kirtle is characterized by four main traits: manipulative, dominant, cruel, and dangerous. She employed her magic, lies, and violence to manipulate others and achieve her goals. Her presence greatly influences the direction of the plot and the challenges faced by the protagonists. This study demonstrates that examining antagonists can enhance our understanding of character roles in literature, particularly in children's stories.
