Abstract

In translating idiomatic expressions, strategies are applied in order to make the result equivalent in the target language. This research proposes to explore the strategies used in translating idiomatic expressions and translation orientation. Translating idiomatic expressions might cause difficulties for translator and the result tend to be based on the source or target language. Therefore, we proposed to investigate the translation strategies of the novel “The Adventures of The Huckleberry Finn”. It aims at deciding the most frequent strategies used in the translating idiomatic expressions and translation orientation. This research is descriptive qualitative study using content analysis applying purposive sampling technique since not the whole novel is investigated. This finding shows that there are 53 idiomatic expressions translated using strategies proposed by Mona Baker (2018). This research also found that there are four strategies are used by the translator, such as (1) using an idiom of similar meaning and form; (2) translation by omission of entire idiom; (3) translation by paraphrase; and (4) translation by omission of a play on idiom. The most frequent strategy is translation by paraphrase with 51.8% occurence. Furthermore, domestication is dominating the orientation of the translation.

Abstract

This study reveals segmental and suprasegmental mispronunciations of some words made by Indonesian learners of EFL and their possible causes. This is descriptive qualitative research. The phonological data were elicited by asking the subjects to read loudly while recorded the text that had been prepared to contain words with segmental and suprasegmental phonemes. The data were limited to those words existing in the eliciting text. The records were then transcribed, identified, coded, classified, and interpreted. The possible causes that might have influenced the mispronunciations made by the subjects were unfolded using the contrastive analysis approach and psycholinguistic theories. The study reveals that the mispronunciations in segmental phonemes include vowels and diphthongs, such as /i:/, /ɑ:/, /eɪ/, /oʊ/, consonants /z/, /v/, /ð/, and silent letters w, l, and s. The suprasegmental mispronunciations are in the use of stress on multi-syllabic words. Finally, this study concludes the possible causes that made these errors happen, among others, are interlingual differences, mother tongue interference, shortage of knowledge, and fossilization.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to challenge the modernism view and principles by revealing the negative issues and impacts of technology as portrayed in Mosquitoes (2017) play script written by Lucy Kirkwood. The research uses a qualitative method in showing and elaborating the findings. To challenge the modernism view, the research undertaken uses postmodernism lens with Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulation, simulacra, and hyperreality in analyzing situation and forms of those concepts which are hidden in the text. This research discovers that the advancement of technology makes the characters very dependent on technology itself, especially on computers, mobile phones, and the internet. However, this technological dependence is not accompanied by significant benefits as modernists assert, but rather tends to produce detrimental effects for the characters. The detrimental effect of using technology is that the characters are trapped in a world of hyperreality manifested in the form of fake news and cybercrimes, causing some serious problems that must be dealt with by them since the boundaries between real and fake have collapsed. This cause-effect regarding technology and hyperreality emphasizes a paradox that technology which is supposed to be controlled by humans yet control humans themselves because technology takes a role in shaping the way humans think and behave. In essence, the findings of this research reinforce that the positive view of modernism on advancement in human civilization is not fully materialized.

Abstract

The fact that teaching English in Indonesia is still driven by textbooks makes not many students have the ability to communicate in English and even they often experience mispronunciation. This study was conducted to find out how to teach allomorphs as a provision to strengthen knowledge of English pronunciation. In addition, this study also seeks to reveal how the challenges faced by EFL teachers in the Allomorph learning process. There are 3 stages that the teacher can do to teach allomorphs through narrative texts; introduction to phonetic symbols, reading the text, and analyzing and practicing the types of allomorphs. From the use of the selected narrative text, it reveals 3 types of allomorphs from 4 types that have been introduced to students in the form of past tense, plural number, and regular possessive. Some of the challenges and problems faced by EFL teachers in teaching English pronunciation, especially allomorphs, is the lack of student motivation to learn. In addition, EFL teachers still hold on to the old philosophy about the lack of importance of learning pronunciation, making this teaching even more difficult. The lack of class hours and the large number of students in EFL classes are also challenges for teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to discover the psychopath characteristics of the main character, Lucas, as depicted in the movie Dismissed, and investigate how Lucas’ obsession, which makes him a psychopath, is related to the absence of parents. The qualitative descriptive analysis method is used in analyzing the data. Data is collected by watching, understanding, identifying, interpreting, and analyzing data from the Dismissed movie. Thi study uses psychoanalytic theory by Sigmund Freud and psychopathic personality disorder by Robert D Hare. This study reveals that the absence of parents during Lucas’ developmental period can wreak havoc on the manifestation of psychological disturbance in Lucas. Lucas has a psychopathic personality disorder. His psychopathic problem makes him a killer to gain his excessive obsession to get an “A” from his teacher. The writer concludes that Lucas’ psychopathic problem is convincingly connected to parental absence. Lucas experienced imperfect psychosexual development, resulting in fixation at the phallic stage due to the death of his mother and the lack of intense bonding between Lucas and his father as his role model. Lucas becomes a person who has an excessive obsession, has poor behavior control, has no empathy, and has no remorse and guilt. When dealing with trauma and anxiety, Lucas’ ego uses projection as a defense mechanism. He projects the longingness for his mother figure to other women he kills. Therefore, his psychopathic behavior is a means he does to substitute and reduce the anxiety and trauma of parental absence in his life.
