ANALYSIS OF THE FORMATION PROCESS OF SINJAB SLANG IN BATANG REGENCY

2024-05-13T09:00:49+00:00

This research aims to classify the patterns and rules of Sinjab slang formation. Data collected were obtained from two native speakers of Sinjab slang. This research employs a sociolinguistic approach. The data analysis process is conducted using qualitative descriptive methods. Interviews and data collection were carried out with informants who are young adults aged 35 and 25. Furthermore, this study categorizes the data into tables to facilitate the data analysis process. The results of the research indicate that the Sinjab slang vocabulary is not formed arbitrarily. Based on the analyzed data, variations in Sinjab slang forms and the linguistic processes involved therein are phoneme shifts, commonly known as metathesis.

Based on the mapped formation processes, 15 Sinjab slang formation patterns are identified. These patterns include the K2V1K1V2 pattern., pattern K₂V₁K₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁mK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁mK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁ngK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁ngK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁K₁V₂ng, pattern K₂V₁nK₁V₂, pattern K₂V₁nK₁V₂K₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂, pattern K₂V₁ngkV₂K₂, pattern K₁V₁K₂asgV₂, Pattern K₁V₁K₂asgV₂K₂, pattern K₁V₁K₁K₂asgV₂, pattern K₁V₁K₂askV₂.

EUPHEMISMS IN THE NEWS OF THE DAGO ELOS CONFLICT

2024-09-12T05:30:41+00:00

The internet has become a leading platform for news and media content, providing a diverse range of reading and viewing options for the public. News remains reliable because it offers current and factual information. A noteworthy story in recent news has been the eviction at Dago Elos. This study applies Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the use of euphemism in media reports on the Dago Elos eviction, aiming to identify the forms of euphemism and understand their function within the context of news discourse. Data for this study consist of linguistic units containing euphemisms—expressions that soften or mask potentially offensive or sensitive content—sourced from four online media outlets reporting on the Dago Elos eviction. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach for analysis, with data collection through a documentation technique. Results from the analysis revealed 16 instances of euphemism across four online news reports on the Dago Elos conflict. The findings suggest that these euphemisms serve to moderate the perceived severity of events, reflecting broader dynamics of power and ideology in news discourse.

CHALLENGES IN TRANSLATING CULTURAL IDIOMS: A CASE STUDY OF ENGLISH TO INDONESIAN TRANSLATIONS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

2024-09-30T03:15:11+00:00

This study explores the difficulties in translating cultural idioms from English to Indonesian in the setting of social media, with an emphasis on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The goal is to investigate the ways in which idiomatic terms, which have deep cultural connotations, are translated into other linguistic and cultural contexts. The process entails qualitatively analysing English social media posts that contain idioms, then looking at suggested or actual translations into Indonesian. Idioms such as "throw shade," "cut to the chase," and "spill the tea" are among those examined. The results show that there are substantial difficulties when translating idioms since there are no direct parallels in Indonesian and there are discrepancies in cultural references. Translators employ several techniques such as idiomatic modification, paraphrase, and occasionally removing the idiom. In order to preserve communication's authenticity and efficacy, the study emphasizes the significance of cultural competency and inventiveness in translation practice. Future study is advised to investigate idiom translation on various social media platforms in more detail and evaluate how well machine translation algorithms handle idiomatic language.

2024-09-12T04:40:25+00:00

Women have historically been depicted through negative stereotypes, portrayed as dependent, vulnerable, and unable to lead. Films often reinforce these roles, emphasizing women's domestic responsibilities while men dominate public spheres. However, the release of Barbie (2023) presents a transformative perspective, advocating for gender equality.

The research uncovers three key representations: (1) women can achieve any aspiration; (2) women can be independent and assertive; and (3) women exhibit courage in the face of oppression. The findings reveal that the protagonist in Barbie reflects the evolving social realities of women, depicting them as strong and independent, contrary to traditional patriarchal views. This shift indicates a progressive decline in outdated gender perspectives, showcasing a positive portrayal of gender equality.
