Abstract

Translating interjections is notoriously challenging. Aside from their ambiguous and context-dependent meanings, they also express emotions through broadly suggestive sensations, attitudes, and states of mind. This study attempts to uncover emotional meanings embedded in cognitive interjections, the conversion strategies of cognitive interjections, and how the conversion strategies affect correspondence and equivalence. The data were interjective expressions in the classic English literature entitled "Charlotte's Web" and its Indonesian translation "Laba-Laba and Jaring Kesayangannya", which were scrutinized using content-based mixed methods. The emotional meanings were explored using Jovanović’s (2004) theory. The conversion was identified by cultivating Cuenca (2006)'s and Baker (1992)’s proposals. Meanwhile, the implication of the conversions was observed by considering formal correspondence and meaning equivalence. The results suggest that: first, different types of emotional meaning are found in both ST and TT, i.e. anger, disagreement, enquiry, ensurement, hesitation, irritation, pleasure, realization, relief, soothe, and triumph. Second, four conversion strategies are deployed by the translator from English to Indonesian version, i.e. (1) conversion using a similar form and meaning; (2) conversion using a similar form, meaning, and literal translation (triplets) and (3) the conversion through deletion, with the first one as the most often used. Third, while the first two conversions were applicable for producing equivalent expressions, whereas the translator, on the whole, maintains a formal correspondence that equalizes the meaning, the last results in some degree of emotional meaning deviations. This study has demonstrated how inappropriate strategies of rendering interjections may cause distortion of the author’s original idea and ruin or reduce the emotional expressiveness in the text. Keywords: conversion, cognitive interjections, literary translation, translation equivalence

Abstract

Novice teachers often encountered some challenges in their professional work that might influence their emotions.  It is quite reasonable that some EFL novice teachers may still struggle to manage their negative emotions to cope with classroom problems. Some emotions could be freely expressed positively, whereas other emotions were left unexpressed for some reasons. This study aimed to answer two research questions, namely: (1) what kinds of emotions do novice teachers frequently experience in teaching? (2) How do novice EFL teachers cope with their emotions in professional life? This study employed a qualitative method and carried out semi-structured interviews to gain in-depth data from the participants' perspectives in dealing with their emotions. The instruments employed were interview-guidelines questions and open-ended questions. The result of the present study revealed that, first, all novice teachers frequently experienced two main challenges in teaching, namely students’ misbehaviours and disrespectful behaviours. These challenges could influence teachers' emotions of anger, being overwhelmed, and worries. Second, the findings demonstrated that teachers employed three strategies, namely self-regulation, self-talk, and a problem-focused strategy to manage and handle their emotions in teaching. In addition, the present study suggested beneficial implications, limitations, and directions for further research. Keywords: Emotions, EFL Novice Teachers, and Strategies

Abstract

Penggunaan bahasa pada nama TPU identik dengan karakteristik agama, budaya, sistem sosial, sejarah, lokalitas, dan intervensi pemerintah setempat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menginvestigasi hadirnya fungsi informasi dan simbolis dari sistem penamaan TPU di Kota Malang. Data diambil dari 102 teks papan nama pada 42 TPU yang tersebar di lima kecamatan di Kota Malang, yaitu Kecamatan Klojen, Lowokwaru, Blimbing, Sukun, dan Kedung Kandang dengan teknik dokumentasi (foto). Data diklasifikasikan berdasarkan Top-Down dan Bottom-Up guna melihat bentuk dan pola penggunaan bahasa keduanya. Analisis data menggunakan teori lanskap linguistik ancangan Landry dan Bourhis (1997). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola Bottom Up mendominasi kemunculan. Pada bentuk penggunaan bahasa, hasil analisis menunjukkan ada tiga bentuk yang muncul, yaitu monolingual, bilingual, dan multilingual dengan sembilan pola penggunaan bahasa. Bahasa Indonesia, bahasa Jawa, dan bahasa Arab terlibat dalam semua pola. Ini mengindikasikan bahwa TPU di Kota Malang identik simbol kompetensi bahasa, dominasi masyarakat muslim, dan kehadiran simbol Jawa. Teks-teks tersebut juga memberi pesan informasi atas sistem penamaan pemakaman, perintah/larangan, nasihat, dan petunjuk arah/lokasi. Simbol-simbol yang terwujud dalam penggunaan bahasa: bahasa Indonesia sebagai simbol kompetensi bahasa dan kebijakan bahasa; bahasa Jawa menunjukkan simbol vitalitas kelompok dan sakralistik; bahasa Arab sebagai simbol entitas agama Islam; bahasa Inggris sebagai simbol industri wisata religi; bahasa Jepang membangun simbol masa lalu dalam dark tourism.Kata Kunci: lanskap linguistik, Tempat Pemakaman Umum, Kota Malang, teks ruang publik Message and Identity Symbols Behind Death:Linguistic Landscape in Public Areas of Public Cemetery in Malang City AbstractThe language used in the name of PC is closely related to the characteristics of religion, culture, social systems, history, locality, and intervention of the local government. This research aims to investigate the presence of information and symbolic functions of the naming system of PC in Malang City. The data were collected from 102 name board texts in 42 PCs spread across five districts in Malang City, namely Klojen, Lowokwaru, Blimbing, Sukun, and Kedung Kandang, using documentation techniques (photos). The data was classified based on Top-Down and Bottom-Up to see the form and pattern of language usage. Data analysis used the linguistic landscape theory proposed by Landry and Bourhis (1997). The results showed that the Bottom-Up pattern dominated the appearances. Regarding language use, the analysis results showed that there were three forms that appeared, namely monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual, with nine language use patterns. Indonesian, Javanese, and Arabic were involved in all patterns. This indicates that PC in Malang City is synonymous with language competence symbols, Muslim community domination, and the presence of Javanese symbols. These texts also convey information messages regarding the naming system of burial sites, orders/prohibitions, advice, and direction/location guidance. Symbols embodied in language use are as follows: Indonesian language as a symbol of language competence and language policy; Javanese language indicates the symbol of group vitality and sacredness; Arabic language as a symbol of Islamic religious entity; English language as a symbol of the religious tourism industry; the Japanese language builds the symbol of the past in dark tourism.Keywords: linguistic landscape, Public Cemetery, Malang City, public space texts.

Abstract

There is a growing body of literature examining the significance of authentic assessment in enhancing teachers’ assessment literacy. This study set out to investigate pre-service English teachers’ perception of authentic assessment in their speaking class. This sequential explanatory study employed a set of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews in the data collection. A total of 46 pre-service English teachers in their final year participated in this study. They completed a web-based survey, and four of them who used authentic assessment in their speaking class were selected for an interview. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis while the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that 71.74% of respondents were aware of what authentic evaluation entails as learned from various sources, primarily lecturers and tutors. More than 25% of respondents could not comprehend an authentic assessment, and fewer than a fifth (19.57%) of those surveyed had never taken a course on authentic assessment. The results from the survey and interview also showed that lack of time or the lengthy implementation time of authentic assessment, as well as the class size were reported to be the main challenges of the students in applying authentic assessment. Oral interviews, picture-cued descriptions or stories, information gaps, story/text retelling, role plays/simulations, oral reports, and debates were examples of the authentic assessment tools they normally used. This study implied the need for more authentic assessment trainings and or sessions for these pre-service English teachers in the future.Keywords: perception, authentic assessment, speaking

Abstract

This study aims to observe the form of Javanese language in Malangan dialect in the trade transactions occurring in the border area between Malang and Blitar.  The research design used in this study is of qualitative research, namely providing an overview of a certain phenomenon as clear as possible.  The purpose of this research is to become a reference to a policy design in maintaining Malangan dialect, especially in border communities. The results of this research show that the maintenance of Javanese language in Malangan dialect in the domain of trade transaction in border areas is still well maintained. The process can be acknowledged from the words chosen and spoken in the domain of trade transactions by both buyers and sellers which represent the characteristics of Malangan dialect. In addition, even though there are sellers and buyers from different regions speaking different dialects, it does not restrain the native speakers of Malangan dialect from understanding their utterances. The factors that strengthen the maintenance of the Javanese language in Malangan dialect in the domain of trade transaction in the Malang and Blitar border area are: custom, speaker’s identity, geographical area, and a sense of dissimilarity from having and using different dialect.Keywords: border area, language maintenance, Malangan dialect, Mataraman dialect, trade transactions

Abstract

The death of Mahsa Amini in Iran garnered international attention through protests, rallies, and online movements that spread across various regions in Iran and social media platforms. Throughout the demonstration, numerous visual representations in the form of posters were created to elicit sympathy on an international scale. This article aims to uncover the representational meanings conveyed by these posters, employing a multimodal discourse perspective as introduced by Kress and Leeuwen (2021). The posters were sourced from different Instagram accounts and recommended websites like theguradian.com and dezeen.com. The findings reveal that the analyzed posters effectively communicate representational meanings through their constituent elements, including the process, participants, and circumstances. The researcher concludes that the semiotic system employed in the posters successfully establishes a connection with the issue or event being discussed. The posters depict Iranian women as individuals who courageously resist tyranny and advocate for the freedom to express themselves. The presence of distinct actions like trimming hair, clenching fists, and joining hands among women authentically portrays the protest's reality. Hence, in this instance, the creators of the posters have conscientiously considered the crucial components, reflecting the existing reality to convey the message to the viewers accurately. Communicating meaning or delivering a message to the audience holds significant implications for the success of garnering international community support and raising awareness about the ongoing issue.Keywords: Mahsa Amini, Multimodal Analysis, Representational Meanings

Abstract

Editorial is an important part of newspapers since the opinions expressed can influence the reader's point of view. The two major Indonesian news media that publish editorials in their newspapers are Kompas and Tempo. This study explores the potential differences in editorial characters between Kompas and Tempo regarding the 2024 election issue. To achieve this goal, the organizational structure of editorial texts is examined and their attitudinal tendencies are investigated. The method used in this study is analytical discourse framework by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) in particular genre (Iedema, et al., 1994) and APPRAISAL framework (Martin & White, 2005). Based on the findings of genre and APPRAISAL in the text, it is revealed that the editorials of Tempo tend to be explicit in showing their position against 2024 election issues. Tempo uses the genre of media exposition and built their attitudinal tendencies by using negative evaluations. Unlike Tempo, Kompas tends to be implicit in showing their position against the said issue. They adopted media discussion genre and their attitudinal tendency is built using positive evaluations. The results of this study reveal that in examining the character of a media, an analysis of editorial text genres needs to be carried out before investigating its attitudinal tendencies.Keywords: APPRAISAL, genre, discourse analysis, newspaper, editorial

Abstract

The context of the study is the ongoing protests and demonstrations by women in many places in Iran. This study aims to examine the demonstration of gender ideology and power in Sahebjam's Stoning of Soraya M. Qualitative descriptive method is used to investigate the relationship between gender ideology and power relations and how it creates a power imbalance between men and women in Iranian society. Stoning of Soraya M by Freidoune Sahebjam, published on September 12, 1990, serves as the primary data source for this study. Data are analysed through the lens of the Critical Discourse Analysis approach, specifically Lazar's Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (2007). The findings of the study suggest that the country's laws, including the Constitution, the Civil Code, and the Criminal Code, create a complicated legal environment for women. While the Constitution guarantees equal civil rights for men and women, religious law supersedes other laws and is frequently abused by individuals to commit crimes against women. This study reveals how gender ideology and power relations to women reflected through discourse can demonstrate how women are treated in different parts of the world.Keywords: gender ideology, power, novel, feminist

Abstract

To comprehensively examine the quality of argumentative writing, it is important to integrate the aspects of structure and substance. This study seeks to foreground the application of Intellectual Standards (IS) as a core component of the argumentative writing process. The research aims to determine the quality of argumentation in terms of structure using the TAP Toulmin concept and substance using IS. The research participants were 80 high school students in Central Java, Indonesia. A mixed method approach with an exploratory sequential QUAL-quan design is adopted. The results show that the quality of the arguments in terms of structure and substance is in the low category. Structurally, 97.5% of students' written arguments ranged from 1.1 to 2.0 on a scale of 0.0-5.0. In substance, 81.25% of students' argumentation ability scores are in the range of 04.9 - 09.6 on a scale of 0.00-24.00. In addition, the findings show that the completeness of the structure influences the substance score. Furthermore, the results of this study can be used as a reference for teachers in teaching argument texts. Elements of warrant, backing, modal qualifier, and rebuttal must be emphasized in preparing argumentative texts.Keywords: Argumentative Texts, Structure and Substance of Arguments, Toulmin, Intellectual Standards
