Abstract

This study examines the pattern of thematic progression (TP) in the abstracts written by English students of FBIB Unisbank Semarang. Twenty five abstracts are randomly taken from which the sentences are analyzed to show their thematic patterning. The theory proposed by Danes (1974) was used as the framework to analyze the pattern employed in the abstracts and the result of which indicates that the split rheme TP pattern (77%) is realized in the abstracts and theme-derived TP pattern (23%) is also noticed. The study also describes that the link between linguistic thematic progression and the messages is characterized by the use of speech functions (SF) as declarations (33%), representatives (50%) and directives (17%). It is sufficient to say that students display good experience in writing their abstracts but to further justify that the abstracts are standard ones future researchers may conduct similar studies by employing more data and schematic structure analysis on abstracts. Key words: thematic progression, abstract, speech function

The unit of analysis in the current study is  turn. Every turn is observed to find out the communication strategies employed. Then, the reasons for employing the communication strategies are explained by using  Tarone’s theory.

Abstract

Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan apa dan bagaimana cara bekerjanya hypertext sebagai  salah satu perkembangan  teknologi internet dan multimedia. Uraian dalam makalah ini hanya berdasarkan kajian pustaka dan bukan hasil penelitian. Hypertext ternyata sangat kompleks terutama dalam proses produksi. Namun dalam hal konsumsi hypertext sangat berguna untuk penjelajahan informasi hingga dapat dikatakan penjelajahan (browsing) melalui hypertext menjadi sangat menarik asalkan pada pihak pengguna memiliki tingkat computer literacy yang memadahi. Tanpa computer literacy, maka informasi yang terdapat dalam hypertext akan terlewati begitu saja. Lebih jauh lagi hypertext/ hyperlink kini telah menjadi paradigma baru media pembelajaran melalui Powerpoint 2003 / 2007.   Kata Kunci: hypertext, text, internet, multimedia, computer literacy

Abstract

A basic premise of this article is that the institutional teaching of translation studies has evolved in the past years partly due to a growing connection between theory and teaching practice. The present article focuses on how translation process in theories and practices, on why theory is important for the teaching of the profession, and on the nature of theory. This discussion leads to a fundamental concern for the training of future translators for professional work. It is argued that translation trainees should be exposed to a variety of approaches to translation which are inspired by and connect to different theoretical schools so that students are in this way taught to be flexible in their approach to texts and will also learn theory in practical application.   KEYWORDS: translation theories, translation practices, teaching, translation types, translator
