Within those conversations, there were several of Code Mixing types applied. They were also applied in the daily working conversations at The Shacks Hotel. The Code Mixing types were analyzed to find out their types and functions. The research method applied in the research was qualitative method.

The analysis was grounded in Jendra's (Khusaini, 2019: 120) code-mixing theory, which categorizes code-mixing into three types: word-form, phrase-form, and clause-form. This research aims to understand the prevalence and purpose of these different code-mixing forms within the specific context of hotel employee interactions.

Abstract

Translation is process of transferring messages from the source language into the target language. The process of transferring message from the source language needs certain strategy. Shifts can be avoided occurring in translation to achieve equivalence between the source language and the target language. This research would like to explore the level of equivalence by getting shifts from the source language into the target language in the book entitled “Mengapa Bali Disebut Pulau Seribu Pura”. The book is written in two languages, English serves as the source language, while Indonesia serves as the target language. The clauses used in the source language gets shift in the equivalence in the target language. Therefore, the shifts explored in the translation are argument shifts involving; participant, process, and circumstance. The theory used to explore shifts found in the target language is Systemic Functional Linguistics theory especially ideational function. This research uses qualitative approach, grounded theory, namely to improve theory of SFL in translation field. The data used for this research were clauses getting shifts in the book such as; participant, process, and circumstance. The result of this research is presented in description supporting with the tables of the source and the target languages. The tables involve the arguments in the clauses getting shifts. The tables are supported by the description. the result of this research shows that the shifts occur in the participant, process, and circumstance. The shifts occurring in participants indicate that shifts in functions of participant since the function of participant is influenced by shifts in the process. The shifts occurring in process indicate the absence of modality and shifts in type of activities. The shifts occurring in circumstance indicate shifts in tense so the meaning of the text become far equivalence. This research is categorised as applied linguistics research so this research has significance for; translation studies, Systemic Functional Linguistics, semiotic, and teaching. This research is expected to add linguistics library so this research can be used as reference for the following translation research. This research is expected to be able to trigger other translation and Systemic Functional Linguistics researchers so the translation and Systemic Functional fields become more popular in the study.

Abstract

This study explores the Semantics dimensions of language employed by spa trainers in their professional interactions with clients. Using a qualitative approach, the research focuses on two key aspects of Semantics: sense, which examines the intrinsic meaning of linguistic expressions, and reference, which investigates the relationship between these expressions and their real-world referents. The objective is to uncover how spa trainers utilize these dimensions to enhance communication effectiveness, foster client trust, and create a welcoming environment. The data were collected through audio recordings of client-trainer interactions, field observations, and semi-structured interviews with spa trainers. The findings reveal that spa trainers strategically use descriptive and sensory language, metaphors, and a professional tone to evoke vivid mental imagery and establish emotional connections with clients, aligning with the dimension of sense. Similarly, the trainers employ clear and specific references, deictic expressions, and contextual adaptations to connect abstract linguistic expressions to tangible realities, ensuring that clients understand the services offered. The study highlights the interplay between sense and reference in professional communication, demonstrating how their balanced use contributes to client satisfaction and service quality.

Abstract

This literature review examines code-switching phenomena among Indonesian millennials in social media contexts, synthesizing existing research to understand patterns of language variation and multilingual communication practices in digital environments. The study employs a qualitative library research methodology, analyzing peer-reviewed academic sources published between 2010-2024 from major databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review identifies three primary code-switching patterns: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag-switching, with Indonesian millennials demonstrating sophisticated multilingual competence across platforms. Key findings reveal that code-switching serves multiple functions including social identity construction, emotional expression, and audience accommodation, with significant variations across different social media platforms. Instagram exhibits high English-Indonesian mixing for aesthetic and global appeal, Twitter shows complex multilingual combinations due to character constraints, Facebook demonstrates more formal patterns for diverse audiences, and TikTok enables innovative multilingual performances. The analysis reveals that theoretical frameworks such as Markedness Theory, Social Network Theory, and Identity Theory require adaptation for digital contexts. Significant research gaps include insufficient longitudinal studies, limited regional comparative analysis. The review concludes that Indonesian millennials use code-switching as a deliberate communicative strategy rather than linguistic deficiency, challenging traditional deficit models and supporting additive multilingualism perspectives. These findings have important implications for educational policy, cross-cultural communication training, and digital literacy development, suggesting the need for more inclusive language policies that recognize multilingual digital competencies as valuable linguistic resources.

Abstract

This study examines the comparative conceptualization of language politeness in a pragmatic perspective through a systematic literature study approach to contemporary politeness strategy theories. A descriptive qualitative methodology was used to analyze academic publications for the 2020-2024 period related to linguistic politeness. The findings reveal that the Brown- Levinson theory remains the dominant paradigm, but it requires adaptation to diverse cultural and situational contexts. Comparative analysis shows significant variability in the implementation of politeness strategies based on communication medium, social hierarchy, and cultural orientation. The context of digital communication presents new challenges that require theoretical reformulation to accommodate the unique characteristics of virtual interactions. The theoretical implications point to the need to develop an integrative model that harmonizes universal principles with local particularities in the analysis of pragmatic linguistic politeness. The findings indicate that Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory of politeness continues to serve as the dominant paradigm in politeness research due to its structured categorization of positive and negative politeness strategies. However, despite its enduring influence, the theory shows limitations when applied to diverse cultural and situational contexts, particularly in non-Western societies where norms of interpersonal interaction often diverge from its original assumptions.
