<![CDATA[Feature writing is a typical journalistic product that contains a combination of news and opinion, with a storytelling style containing human interest and beautiful language. The art of feature writing is more widely understood in the context of entertaining and inspirational reading products rather than as a medium for promotion. The purpose of this study is to make a theoretical analysis to understand the art of feature writing by looking at the substance from the stylistic side that features are more than entertaining reading but are positioned as a medium for local branding. The results show that the morphology of feature writing is built on cohesion and imagery as the dominant elements of stylistics that support the delivery of meaning through the narrative structure. In conclusion, from a structural hermeneutic perspective, stylistic elements in feature writing not only build an entertaining discourse, but objective and informative, which implicitly promotes the locality as local branding.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to explore the translation process by Emma Heesters in rending Anneth Delliecia’s song lyrics “Mungkin hari ini hari esok atau nanti”. The translation method in question places a strong emphasis on the source or target languages. Additionally, the author sought to ascertain the rationale behind the utilization of this specific translation methodology. This research method used descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach in other words this is to describe the data that has been obtained and also a case as a design. The lyrics of the song entitled mungkin hari ini esok atau nanti by Emma Heesters, are the subject of this analysis. The author gathers data through the process of documentation. This involves collecting the lyrics of the Indonesian and English versions of the song and listening to the song. The translation method employed in this instance is based on the V diagram theory, which was first proposed by Newmark. The results indicated that the predominant translation method employed was one that placed significant emphasis on the target language, with some portions of the lyrics also emphasizing the source language. It can be posited that Emma Heesters’ tendency to utilize a translation method that prioritised the target language was driven by the necessity to align the translation with the desired intonation or tone of the song.]]>

<![CDATA[This research analyses the translation methods used by Harum Wibowo in translating Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" based on Peter Newmark's translation theory. This research identifies and assesses the translation methods utilized and examines their alignment with Newmark's theory, including eight translation methods: word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, communicative translation, semantic translation, adaptation, and free translation. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that the translator tends to use communicative translation methods to maintain the horror nuances and Poe's distinctive language style. Additionally, some parts of the text show the use of modulation and transposition procedure to align with the target culture's context. This research is anticipated to enhance the understanding of the application of Newmark's theory in literary translation and assist translators in selecting appropriate methods to preserve the meaning and emotional impact of translated texts.]]>

<![CDATA[To be a good translator, having linguistic competence is a must. One of the linguistic competencies is the mastery of tenses, for instance future tenses in both the source language (SL) and target languages (TL). The aim of this research is to understand the similarities and differences in forms of future expression in English and Indonesian. The data source was obtained from dialogue or utterances in the novel And Then There Were None and the translated novel entitled Lalu Semuanya Lenyap. In addition, the author will also analyze various translation strategies used by translators in transferring future concepts of SL into TL. This research is descriptive research with qualitative methods. The research results show that English and Indonesian tend to express the future lexically. In the source text, future forms of expression are formed with the auxiliary words "will", "be going to", "be about to", and present progressive tense, while in the target text, future forms of expression are expressed with intentional modality, epistomic modality, and dynamic modality. Meanwhile, the translation strategies used are modulation translation procedures, reduction, transposition, and literal translation methods]]>

<![CDATA[This descriptive qualitative study aims to identify the types of causes of post-traumatic stress disorder and to reveal how the defense mechanism experienced by Kya as the main character of the novel Where the Crawdads Sing. Sigmund Freud's psychological theory of defence mechanism is applied in this study. The data of this research are narratives, paragraphs, and dialogues of Delia Owen’s Where the Crawdads Sing that indicate the causes of post-traumatic stress disorder and the defense mechanisms used by Kya. The findings showed that Kya experienced post-traumatic stress disorder due to causes such as domestic violence, abandonment, bullying, isolation, rape, and murder. In addition, the defense mechanisms used by Kya in overcoming the causes of post-traumatic stress disorder and survival are employing denial to deal with the truth of the traumatic event she went through; sublimation to redirect her negative energy or focus on more productive and beneficial activities; and projection to project her own emotions onto other people, perceiving her own motivations or feelings in their actions. These defense mechanisms help Kya to adjust to difficult situations and find ways to survive due to the trauma she experienced.]]>

<![CDATA[F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Ice Palace" remains a seminal work of American literature, delving into themes of identity, cultural displacement, and the search for belonging. This study aims to dissect and analyze the intricate plot structure of "The Ice Palace," employing a qualitative method to uncover deeper insights into Fitzgerald's storytelling techniques and thematic undercurrents. Drawing five essential components of plot, the research scrutinizes each narrative element, tracing the protagonist's journey from exposition to resolution. Utilizing content analysis of the story, the study reveals how Sally Carrol Happer's experience in the Northern environment, particularly her harrowing ordeal in the ice palace, leads to a profound realization of her true self. The resolution, marked by Sally Carrol's decision to return to the South, highlights the thematic emphasis on embracing one's identity and finding fulfillment in authenticity. Through close examination of plot dynamics, this research offers fresh perspectives on Fitzgerald's narrative craftsmanship and thematic resonance in "The Ice Palace."]]>

<![CDATA[The lexical decision task was used in this study to evaluate the cognitive processes of word processing in English Literature students. This study focuses into the distinctive characteristics of word processing in people who are proficient in English literature, specifically how their literary analytical abilities impact lexical judgment problems. The goal was to investigate how linguistic information gained via literary study affects word processing. The web-based PsyToolkit program was used to record response times and accuracy. Ten English literature students took part in a web-based lexical judgment exercise that required them to differentiate between actual and non-words. The results show that reaction times differ between three stimulus categories: related words, unrelated words, and nonsense words. The findings of this study demonstrate that participants responded faster to related words, suggesting a beneficial impact of semantic connection. However, equal response times for unrelated and nonsense words imply similar categorization problems. These findings provide connection between semantic processing and lexical decision-making, highlighting the significance of semantic priming in word recognition.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper aims to highlight pragmatic failure and to analyze the translation errors made by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at Everest English Course, Surabaya. The researcher focuses on the mistakes often occurring in English classes. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative, which focuses on describing student's translation errors. The acquisition uses the theory introduced by (Corder, 1967; Richards, 1971) to identify the types of interlingual or intralingual matters. The research involves 25 randomly selected students of varying ages (male and female) as subjects of this examination. They were given some translation tasks for seven phrases and sentences without looking up the meaning in a dictionary. The most frequent mistake appeared in the phrase "Thank you before," produced by 80% of students. Other recurring errors included "Thanks God" and incorrect adjective forms like "I am boring". The findings indicate that the students' errors were strongly influenced by the structure of their first language (L1). The results suggest that teaching translation should focus more on fixed expressions, pragmatic usage, contrastive understanding of sentence patterns, and pedagogical implications.]]>
