Abstract

The translation of address terms can lead to a transformation in social relations between speaker and interlocutor. This study aims to analyze the transformation of social relations and its contributing factors through the translation of Javanese address terms in the novel Gadis Kretek into Arabic. The data consist of linguistic units that reflect social relationships, such as Javanese words or phrases of address that indicate status, closeness, and hierarchy. The data sources are Gadis Kretek by Ratih Kumala and its Arabic translation Fātatu As-Sajā’ir by Mohammed Ramadhan. The research method employed is qualitative descriptive with a comparative and interpretative approach. Data collection techniques include close reading, identification of address terms, data note-taking, transliteration, and numbering. Data analysis techniques involve classifying the data based on variations of address terms, comparing the forms in the source text (ST) and the target text (TT), and interpreting the linguistic and cultural factors involved. The results of the study reveal that the transformation of social relations is caused by differences in politeness systems and cultural norms between Javanese and Arabic societies. Address terms such as Pak, Mbok/Simbok, Nduk, Le, Mbak/Mbakyu, and Mas/Kangmas undergo transformations in meaning or form in translation, with efforts made to preserve the underlying social relations. In conclusion, the translation of address terms reflects the adaptation of language to the target culture while also demonstrating cultural resistance to maintain the meaning of social relations in character interactions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the construction and deconstruction of the meaning of poverty in the short story collection Alwān min al-Faqr by Islām Ṣādiq through hierarchical binary oppositions and how these structures can be destabilized through Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using close reading and textual note-taking techniques. The main textual source of this study is the short story collection Alwān min al-Faqr, which serves as the corpus of analysis, while secondary sources include scholarly works on deconstruction theory and studies on the representation of poverty in literary discourse. The findings reveal four patterns of binary opposition: physical versus economic poverty, social versus economic poverty, poverty without shelter versus poverty with shelter, and health versus economic poverty. A deconstructive reading shows that these hierarchies are unstable because the text contains internal contradictions that undermine the assumed superiority of one meaning over another. Consequently, poverty in the text emerges as a relational discursive construct open to multiple interpretations and contributes to expanding the application of deconstruction in contemporary Arabic literary studies.
