Abstract

Politeness strategies are techniques for managing social interactions. They are often used to avoid conflict, maintain good relationships, and ensure effective communication. This research aims to identify and analyze politeness strategies in Buginese conversations among family members in Pangkep Regency. The sociolinguistics approach is used as the main theoretical framework, emphasizing Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory (1987), which consists of bald-on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and offrecord. The method used is descriptive qualitative with an ethnographic case study approach, centered on observing a group of people within their natural environment rather than focusing on formal settings. Data were collected through participant observational checklist, conversational record, and in-depth interviews with family members of various ages and social statuses. The research results show that the Buginese family members in Pangkep Regency used various politeness strategies to maintain social harmony and respect the family hierarchy. This strategy includes using polite and respectful language when talking to older people with a higher social status. The research results show that the Buginese family members in Pangkep Regency used positive politeness strategies more dominantly than other categories of Politeness strategies include social obligations, interactional cooperation, power, age, distance relationships, perceptions of facethreatening acts (FTAs), and imposition and asymmetry of dependency. These findings highlight the importance of understanding and appreciating politeness strategies in interactions between family members, which can positively impact social relations in Buginese society.

Abstract

Translation plays a crucial role in many aspects, including film subtitles. This research aimed toidentify the types of translation strategies and the quality of the translations used in the Indonesian subtitle ofthe film Frozen II. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the analysis was based on Suryawinata and Hariyanto'stranslation strategies classification, which includes structural and semantic strategies. Nine strategies wereidentified: addition, transposition, borrowing, cultural equivalent, descriptive equivalent, synonym, reduction,expansion, and modulation. The translation's quality was evaluated using Nababan et al.'s criteria of accuracy,acceptability, and readability. The results showed that the translation was highly accurate, with an accuracypercentage of 85.9%. However, the 14.1% of translations classified as less accurate (12.7%) or inaccurate(1.4%) highlight challenges in capturing nuance, tone, and context, often due to constraints like limited spaceand timing in subtitles. While most translations were accurate, these cases emphasize the need for carefulattention to detail to maintain the original meaning. Furthermore, this study concludes that the translatoreffectively applied multiple strategies, resulting in a high-quality translation that captures the intended meaningand cultural nuances of Frozen II. Additionally, the distinct contribution of this study lies in its thoroughintegration of both structural and semantic translation strategies, providing a more comprehensive analysisthan previous research. It emphasizes the critical importance of not only translating language accurately butalso conveying meaning and cultural nuances, particularly in the subtitles of animated films, to preserve theoriginal essence and emotional impact for Indonesian audiences.

Abstract

This research analyzes the Massappo Wanua tradition in Lapao Hamlet, Binuang Village, Barru Regency, using a semiotic approach. This tradition, which is performed annually by the Bugis community, aims to protect the village from disasters and maintain the balance between humans and nature. This research explores the symbols used in the ritual as well as the meaning of each symbol related to spiritual, social, and ecological values. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the research using the theory of Charles Sander Pierce's Semiotics show that symbols such as rekkko ota, addupa-dupaang, and benno not only function ritually, but also reflect values such as welfare, honesty, and harmonious relationships between humans, nature, and spirituality. The findings enrich the understanding of Bugis people's cosmological relationship with nature and the ecological relevance of cultural practices that are preserved for generations.

By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this study provides valuable insights into how rhetorical strategies influence consumer behavior on social media platforms. The research emphasizes the importance of creating content and the strategic role of language and appearance in selling products effectively.
