Abstract

This study aims to find out the translation techniques used by the translator to do the act of censorship in translating the subtitle in Suicide Squad and Deadpool 2 movies. This study also analyzes the translation shift in the subtitle and acceptability of the translation. This study employs a qualitative method of data collection and analysis informed by Pinker’s (2007) profanity classification according to its purpose, Molina and Albir’s (2002) concept of translation and Newmark’s (1988; 1981) concept of transposition and translation acceptability. The study found five types of profanity based on its purpose in 213 utterances spoken by the movie characters and 11 translation techniques applied to those utterances. Those five types of profanity include idiomatically, abusively, cathartically, descriptively, and emphatically in the two movies. The study also found four types of translation shifts (automatic, grammatical structure, natural grammatical, lexical gap) as a means of maintaining the meanings of the source language (SL). The meanings shift as a result of an act of translation censorship strategies. The study shows that transferring meaning into other languages such as in the process of subtitling translation could incur potential changes in meaning. Keywords: censorship, profanity, translation techniques, translation shift, translation acceptability.

Abstract

The study entitled Theme-Rheme and Thematic Progression in Obama’s Speech and Its Translation focuses on how a translator puts differences in worldview between the source and the target language text. The differences of worldview itself can be found by analyzing each sentence chosen by the translator. This study used Theme-Rheme and Thematic Progression as proposed by Halliday, which is developed by Gerot and Wignell (1994) and Eggins (2004). The study shows that both texts use Participants as the most frequently used theme. However, the text in the target language considers Participants much more important than the text in source language does. Meanwhile, the analysis of thematic progression shows that both texts use Theme Reiteration. It can be concluded that both texts tend to be monotonous because Obama often begins the speech with the same words.Keywords: Theme-Rheme, Thematic Progression, Worldview, Speech.

Abstract

This study investigated the representation of motivational values in pictures and the myths underlying the representations. The data are ten pictures containing the issue of motivation retrieved from Pinterest website. This is a qualitative research framed in Barthes’ orders of signification theory (1972). The theory was used to discover the representation of motivational values while the theory of motives by Murray (2009) became the foundation in revealing the myths from the representations. The result shows that there are three classifications of the representation of motivational values, namely the motivational values in global context, the motivational values in the context of health, and the motivational values in the context of sport. Moreover, of the three motivational values, there are five values that stand out: hard work, independence, total action, focus, and benefit of having opportunities. With regard to the myth, there are two motives, namely the motive of achievement and the motive of counteraction. In addition, there are three elaborations in the motive of achievement: to overcome obstacles, to accomplish something difficult, and to master physical things. Furthermore, there are two elaborations in the motive of counteraction: to overcome weaknesses and to repress fear. This study suggests that besides motivational speech of particular people, any texts including pictures can serve as source for motivation.Keywords: Representation, Motives, Motivational values, Myths, Pinterest

Abstract

This study entitled Woman Archetype Characters and Motifs in Three Indonesian Folk Tales has three aims: 1) to identify the description of woman archetypes in Indonesian folk tales in term of the characters and motifs employed in the tales; 2) to investigate the representation of woman archetype of Indonesian folk tales with references to European folk tales; and 3) to make meaning from the comparison between Indonesian folk tales and their European counterpart. The study employs qualitative study with the content analysis approach. The analysis of the study is framed within the theory of archetype characters in literature proposed by Jung (1961), and the theory of archetype motifs in folk literature by Thompson (1955-1958). The fact that Indonesian women are presented to be more assertive and independent than their European counterpart rejects the stereotyped view of Indonesian women as submissive and dependent women. Keywords: woman, archetype, character, motif, folk tale

Abstract

This study entitled “The Use of Commissive Speech Acts and its Politeness Implication: A Case of Banten Gubernatorial Candidates Debate” examines the use of commissive speech acts in the Banten gubernatorial candidate debate and the realization of politeness in the use of the speech acts. This study is largely qualitative, supported by some descriptive quantification. Data were collected by downloading the debate from relevant websites. The data analysis was based on Searle’s (1979) classification of speech acts and Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory of politeness. It is found that commissive speech acts were mostly realized through guarantee (53.7%), followed by promise (38.9%), and refusal (7.4%). It is also found that in terms politeness, all the candidates appear to behave in relatively the same way. This seems to result from the weightiness which is not largely different and the candidates’ consideration that the panelists and other candidates are only media to speak to a party that has the ultimate power, i.e. the people of Banten.Keywords: Speech Acts, Commissive Speech Acts, Politeness

Abstract

This study entitled The Representation of Youth in Pocari Sweat Television Advertisements. This study aims to reveal the representation of youth in Pocari Sweat television advertisements and the ideologies behind that representation. This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The theory used in this study is the orders of signification proposed by Barthes (1957). The findings of this study show that youth is represented through the use of the visual elements of television advertisement (actors or actresses, settings, properties, frame sizes, camera angle, color saturation, and video editing) which show the positive characteristics of youth. In terms of ideologies, this study found three ideologies behind the representation of youth in Pocari Sweat television advertisements: feminism, nationalism, and commercialism.Feminism is viewed from the use of more actresses than actors; nationalism is reflected from the use of actors and actresses who have Japanese oriental faces; and commercialism is seen from the use of actors and actresses who have white or bright skin, and the representation of youth who has good characteristics in this life. From those three ideologies, commercialism is the dominant ideology found in that representation.Keywords: Representation, Youth, Advertisements, and Ideologies

Abstract

This study was aimed to discover the realization of refusal strategies by parents and children when refusing requests in a family domain. This study engaged a family including a father, a mother, and two children as the subject of the study. Observation was conducted by recording and noting some conversations in order to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed by applying a theory proposedby Aziz (2000). The theory was used to analyze the types of refusal strategies. The findings reveal that there are ten out of eleven strategies proposed by Aziz found in the family domain. Parents tend to use giving reason or explanation, showing hesitation and offering alternative strategy in their refusal statements whereas children mostly apply showing hesitation, giving reason or explanation, and postponements strategy. The result shows that power asymmetry in speaker-hearer relationship between parents-children and the hearers influence the selection of refusal strategies. The strategy of giving an explanation and reason is used by both parents and children frequently when refusing powerful hearers’ requests while hesitation strategy is applied when refusing the requests from equal power hearers. It is discovered that in terms of the nature of request, both parents and children have similar tendency to use giving reason and explanation strategy when refusing high imposition nature of request. Keywords: Refusal, Refusal Strategies, Requests, Speaker-Hearer Relationship, Nature of Request

Abstract

The present study examines the differences in the agency of the female characters in Grimms’ and Garner’s versions of the stories “Cinderella” and “Snow White”. In identifying the agency of the female characters, the study uses the indicator of actions based on Nealon Giroux’s (2003) and Schlosser’s (2015) conceptions of agency. The findings show that the agency of the female characters in Grimms’ and Garner’s versions of the stories differs in two aspects: the drive of the agency and the impact of the agency on the empowerment of the female characters. Despite the differences in depicting the female characters with their relations to the male characters, both versions of the stories cannot be considered feminist texts.Keywords: mid-pause, tight structured narrative, loose structured narrative, cognitive perspective
