Abstract

The field of Translation and Interpreting (T&I) encompasses bilingual activities in transferring messages from a source language to a target language with an assertive cognitive capacity to produce natural and equivalent meaning. This study serves as a preliminary experiment to explore the cognitive capacity development of ESL students in rendering messages within T&I. Mix-method is applied by involving 28 students taking the test of rendering the messages orally and in written. The experiment consists of three stages: a CEFR test, which reveals that the students' highest level is B1 Intermediate; a 12-session T&I course covering theory, strategies, and practice; and an evaluation phase including feedback collected through questionnaires. In general, the T&I process of rendering messages from English (EN) to Indonesian (ID) is deemed naturally acceptable, and the students are able to accomplish the task. However, there are challenges related to working memory, which result in students not achieving excellent test scores. The EN-ID group shows better performance in translating and interpreting, particularly in the higher score ranges, whereas the ID-EN group has a larger number of participants with lower scores. Additionally, delivering messages from Indonesian to English poses challenges, especially in the context of noun phrases. These challenges are primarily attributed to differences in word order, determiners and articles, prepositions, idiomatic expressions, vocabulary, as well as the participants' proficiency level and exposure to both languages.

Abstract

Conjunctions are crucial cohesive devices that help establish connections between propositions. It is an integral part of language use, especially in literature. One prominent use of conjunctions in conveying narrative relationships can be seen in the Novel, “November 9”, by Colleen Hoover. This study focuses on causal conjunctions and investigates the types and functions of causal conjunctions in the novel “November 9.” The research employs a library research and qualitative methodology to explore the existing pieces of literature comprehensively. The analysis identifies four distinct causal conjunctions within the Novel. “so” signifies general causal relations, establishing cause-and-effect links between actions or events. It also introduces specific causal relations, elucidating consequences following a preceding statement. “then” represents conditional relations, altering the polarity between positive and negative statements. “because” conveys general respective relations, offering reasons for prior statements. Each causal conjunction uniquely conveys cause-and-effect relationships, consequences, explanations, and reasons throughout the narrative. The study enriches the understanding of causality and conjunctions in literature, shedding light on how they shape logical and cogent sentences. This study is a valuable resource for academics exploring the intricate relationship between causality and conjunctions in “November 9.” By unveiling the nuanced functions of causal conjunctions, it encourages further research into broader implications of conjunction usage in literary works. Ultimately, it underscores the significance of conjunctions in crafting coherent and impactful narratives.
