Analisis Kesalahan Berbahasa Mandarin Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir di Salah Satu Universitas di Jawa Barat
Full text linkIt is important to do analysis on errors made by L2 learners. First, it is aimed at finding out why they made errors. Second, it is useful for teachers to know what errors the learners made. Third, it is possible that making errors may actually help learners to learn when they self-correct the errors they made (Ellis, 2000 :15). After learning Chinese language for seven semesters, the learners from one of universities in West Java still also made language errors. This article discusses the type of errors the learners made according to linguistics category taxonomy, surface strategy taxonomy, and communicative effect taxonomy, and the factors that cause those errors. The subjects of this research are the seven semester students learning Chinese language at one of universities in West Java. The results showed that, in writing ‘Han’ characters, the errors mostly made by the learners are those related to morphology and syntax. Most of these errors are local ones so they don’t create misuderstanding. Besides, the global errors are also dominant. The factor influencing these errors is the one related to the learners’ mother tongue, Indonesian language or interlanguage errors.Keywords: Chinese language, error analysis, interlanguage errors
ANALISIS PELAFALAN KARAKTER “DE” DALAM LAGU MANDARIN YANG DINYANYIKAN OLEH TERESA TENG
Full text linkFrom the previous research entitled “Analisis Pelafalan Karakter ? dalam Kumpulan Lagu Terbaik yang Dinyanyikan oleh Andy Lau”, it was found that the pronunciation of the characters ? changes variously into [t?] and [ti], which is caused by two factors, namely the position of the tongue (the rise and fall of the tongue), and factors of high and low tones. This study is a qualitative one aiming at describing the pronunciation of the character ?“DE” in the Chinese songs sung by Teresa Teng. In this study, the author took data from the songs sung by Teresa Teng, one of the legendary singers from Taiwan. In the songs, there is a phenomenon that is similar to what happened in the songs sung by Andy Lau, namely a change in the pronunciation of the characters ? was pronounced into [ti]. A professional singer certainly would apply the technique of good improvisation, to create harmonization between the tone and the lyrics of the song. This study used grammatical and phonological review to assess what kind of character ? pronunciation in the songs sung by Teresa Teng, then examined the factors that affect the pronunciation of the characters ?. The result showed that out of 22 samples taken from 10 songs sung by Teresa Teng, there is only one case that the character ?“DE” was pronounced into [t?], while the other 21 sampes were pronounced into [ti]. Compared to the previous research, it can be said that the position of the tongue and high and low tones don’t give the significant effect to the pronounciation of the character ?
SUBTITLING STRATEGIES IN REAL STEEL MOVIE
Full text linkThe research is entitled Subtitling Strategies in Real Steel Movie. This study aims at finding out the strategies employed to translate the English subtitles into Indonesian subtitles, and identifying the strategy employed the most in the translated subtitles. The unit of analysis of this research is every utterance translated using the subtitling strategies in the Real Steel movie. The source language is English, and the target language is Indonesian as the data. This research used a descriptive qualitative method because the purpose of this study is to describe the phenomena of translation, especially the subtitling strategies employed in the Real Steel movie. The results of this research show that not all the subtitling strategies were employed. There are some subtitling strategies left unemployed, they were dislocation strategy, condensation strategy, decimation strategy, and resignation strategy. The other six strategies were employed by the translator in translating English subtitles in the Real Steel movie. The results show that there are 12 (19.35%) utterances of Expansion strategy, 11 (17.74%) utterances of Paraphrase strategy, 10 (16.12%) utterances of Transfer strategy, 10 (16.12%) utterances of Imitation strategy, 1 (1.61%) utterance of Transcription strategy, and 18 (29.03%) utterances of Deletion strategy. Deletion is the strategy which was employed the most by the translator in the movie. The deletion strategy was identified through the facts that there are words in the source language not maintained in the target language. There are also words in the source language not rendered in the target language. Meanwhile, Expansion is the strategy employed the most after the Deletion strategy. The Expansion strategy was employed because the strategy was naturally proven to help the target audience understand the subtitles more easily.Keywords: Translation, Subtitles, Subtitling Strategie
"BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HALF-BEAST HUMAN": CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE IN A TELEVISION TALK SHOW WITH ANWAR IBRAHIM
Full text linkThis study examines how a Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, flouted the Grice's (1975) maxims during the interview in Kick Andy show. The talk show was aired in 2007 when Indonesia and Malaysia were on political dispute caused by the abusive behaviour of some Malaysians towards Indonesian domestic migrant workers. The results illustrate that the interviewee did not simply answer the questions as commonly expected, but rather flouted frequently. Several strategies of flouting the maxims such as giving overstatements, understatements, hints, and figure of speech were used. Throughout the show, it appeared that Anwar wanted the audience to believe that Malaysian government allegation (corruption and sodomy) towards him was groundless. He also showed his support for Indonesian workers and raised the issue without being asked. In this case, Anwar flouted the maxims not only to raise implicature but also to serve his particular goals as a politician, i.e. to establish a positive image.Keywords: implicature, maxims, opposition, politician, talk-sho
