Abstract

Gender representation in media often depicts gender stereotype. For example, women representation in a particular culture and society shows what women should do and how to behave. Regarding this, the present study titled “The Women Representation in Detergent Product Packaging Designs” aims to reveal how women are represented in detergent product package and what ideology is conveyed behind these representations. Employing descriptive qualitative method to analyze visual images and reveal women representation, this study is framed under the Social Semiotics theory of Reading Images proposed by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006). On the other hand, the ideology is disclosed by using Barthes’ Signification Order. The results show that women are mostly represented as feminine, gentle, motherly, mature, independent, warm, caring, loving, attractive, friendly and happy. In consequence, the ideology relayed is ideology of feminity. This ideology is conveyed through several ways including media codes such us fashion, colors, and non-verbal codes. Key Words: Visual images, Women Representation, Ideology of Feminity, Social Semiotics, Reading Images

Abstract

The phenomenon of multimodal text in social media and instant messaging service is a challenge for linguists in analyzing today’s conversations which were traditionally dominated by verbal texts. Drawing upon the system of image-text relations proposed by Martinec and Salway (2005), this study focused on the interplay between words and images in students’ LINE conversations. It analyzed the status and logico-semantic relations and how those relations affect the meaning-making process in the conversations. This study employs descriptive qualitative method. This study found that the interplay between words and images in selected LINE conversations realized two status relations, which were equal-independent and unequal-image subordinate to text. The interplay between words and images in LINE conversations also realized three logico-semantic relations, which were extension, exemplification-image more general, and exposition. Both the stickers and verbal expressions were conveyed the meaning equally. Not all stickers were followed by verbal expressions, nevertheless, the participants still understand them. Based on the interviews, the stickers help the participants to visualize the facial expressions and gestures their friends used when communicating with them.Keywords: sexuality, conditioning, young adult dystopian, Delirium

Abstract

This study was aimed at investigating types of maxims which are not observed by male and female Facebook users and how male and female users fail to observe a maxim in their conversation. This study involved 16 male and 15 female students majoring in English at one university in Bandung who have Facebook account. This study applied qualitative case study method. The data were in the form of conversations in Facebook that were downloaded from August until December 2012. The data were collected through several considerations of non-observance of maxims within the conversation based on Grice’s theory of conversational implicature. The collected data are analyzed through several procedures of identifying, classifying, calculating, and interpreting. The findings showed that male users commonly failed to observe the maxim of relation by giving irrelevant contribution (53.13%), while female users commonly failed to observe the maxim of quantity by giving more information (44%). In addition, flouting of maxim is the most frequent non-observance of maxim that was performed by both male and female users in their conversation (96.88% 92%). Thus, both users tended to make a joke, to stay close with friends, or just to contribute the conversation when they performed such non-observance of maxims.Keywords: Non-observance of Maxims, Facebook, Conversation, Cooperative Principle, Implicature

Abstract

This study aims to investigate first grade students’ awareness in English phonology and the factors influencing English phonological awareness. This study employs a mixed method that uses quantitative and qualitative data such as an assessment test, the questionnaire, and the interview as the data collection. The result of the findings indicates that students’ performance on English phonological awareness emerges from the sound units in the level of syllable, onset-rime, and phoneme. Factors, for instance the chronological order of language acquisition and language proficiency, have a positive effect towards the performance of students’ English phonological awareness. The students may commit a transfer, between the target language and another language previously acquired, that can potentially influence the performance in language development. The reason is because the performance on English phonological awareness is as same as in Indonesian phonological awareness.Keywords: phonological awareness, factors influencing English phonological awareness, first grade students, English as a foreign language

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study aims at discovering types of translation strategies and changes which occur in a student’s translation works. The data were obtained from a student’s 10 unedited translation works from English to Bahasa Indonesia and 10 published translation works in Bahasa Indonesia. The classification of translation strategies proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (1958, as cited in Munday, 2001) and Bielsa and Bassnett (2009) is used as a tool for analyzing student’s translation works. The findings reveal 11 types of translating strategies found in student’s unedited translation works. They include borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, adaptation, change of title, elimination, addition and summarizing. It reveals that the translator mostly used borrowing among other translation strategies in her unedited translation work from English to Bahasa Indonesia by using Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation strategies. Meanwhile, some changes also occur based on the need of publication and the news agency style.Keywords: translation, translation strategies, unedited and published works

Abstract

The present study entitled An Analysis of Students’ Recount Text by Using Systemic Functional Grammar aims at investigating students’ writing Recount text by identifying schematic structure and linguistic features of the text. The data resources were six pieces of Recount text written by the eighth semester students of English Department who were treated as respondents. To analyze the texts, transitivity of functional grammar developed by Halliday (1994) was applied to identify the linguistic features of the texts. Meanwhile, the schematic structure of Recount is adopted from Anderson and Anderson (2003) which was used to analyze the schematic structure of the text. The findings show that most students seemed to be able to apply the schematic structure of Recount because they put the schematic structure correctly in different paragraphs. However there was still one student (the writer of text 6) who put the schematic structure in one paragraph only. Dealing with the linguistic features, most students likely found problems in differentiating between the use of simple present tense, past tense, prepositional phrases, regular and irregular verbs. Therefore, it is recommended for the students to improve their knowledge and practice more in writing, particularly in writing Recount.Keywords: functional grammar, linguistic features, schematic structure, recount text

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study aims to analyze the equivalence technique in English-Bahasa Indonesia translation of slang and swear words in Deadpool movie. The concept of formal and dynamic equivalences which is proposed by Nida (1964) is applied in this study as the theoretical framework. Slang and swear words were identified prior to equivalence analysis. For identification, this study applied two concepts: Yule’s (1996) word formation processes and Finegan’s (2004) lexical semantics. The study found 320 slang and swear words. Synonymy is the most frequent slang and swear words type which appears 145 times (45.31%). In terms of equivalence techniques, this study found that both formal and dynamic techniques are applied by the subtitler. However, dynamic technique is applied more frequently, 200 times (62.50%), than formal technique, 54 times (16.87%). Therefore, in this study, a synonymy-dynamic pattern is the most dominant. Furthermore, a high frequency of untranslated swear words, 66 times (20.62%) is another important phenomenon. Thus, the results indicate that even though the subtitle tends to convey the message of the source language by finding the most natural and the closest equivalences of the original slang and swear words, there is also an ethical or politeness consideration to omit a number of ‘rude’ and ‘abusive’ swear words in the target language. Keywords: slang and swear words types, subtitling, equivalence, formal and dynamic techniques

Abstract

The study entitled “Observance of PMC and Its Relation to the Presence of Three Levels of Politeness” investigates politeness realizations according to Principles of Mutual Consideration (PMC) between two different cultures and its relation to the presence of three levels of politeness: pre-event, on-the-spot, and post-event politeness as proposed by Aziz (2000). PMC works as a cause and effect logic wgich consists of four sub-principles: i.e. harm and favor potential, shared-feeling, prima-facie, and continuity principles. The main data of the study were retrieved from www.rcti.tv on 26th April, 2010 which contained the opening-part of an interview script between an Indonesian Journalist and the President of the Unites States. Using the PMC framework, the study found that there is balanced-order in observing PMC’s sub-principles. This is due to the fact that both the interviewer and the interviewee had the intention to favour one another. This was realized in their complete observance of four PMC’s sub-principles. The study concluded that the observance of PMC together with its three levels of politeness is mainly motivated to balance and create harmony.Keywords: Principle of Mutual Consideration (PMC), Three Levels of Politeness
