PERUBAHAN BAHASA: PEMAHAMAN KARAKTERISTIK DAN UPAYA PEMERTAHANANNYA
Language change is a common phenomenon, but its nature is mysterious. (Murray in O‘grady,
2005). Although every language may experiences the change either slowly or quickly but for its speaker
that change can not be observed clearly. Language change is an interesting topic to discuss since it is the
common phenomenon faced by all of us, the language users. A language change is usually characterized
by the change of language structure. This claim is mainly based on Crystal‘s statement that all aspects of
language structure and their usage may change (Crystal, 1987: 328). Language change that happens
almost on the languages in the world actually moves to the same direction: language simplification. This
simplification can be manifested in all language aspects such as: phonology, morphology and syntax.
That simplification happens systematically so that it creates an observable pattern of change. Related to
above language aspects that may changes, the main aim of this paper is to discuss language change in
the level of sound (phonology), words structure (morphology) and sentence structure (syntax). Hopefully,
discussing above aspects will give us a better understanding about language change. This understanding
becomes a strong empirical foundation that gives us guidance in taking any necessary efforts due to our
language change. Maintaining a language is the key word to ensure the preservation of the culture since
language and culture are like two sides of intertwined coin. Therefore, the second issue addressed in this
paper is the efforts may be done by language users to maintain their language as a part of preserving
their own culture
DEVELOPING STUDENTS' TRANSLATION COMPETENCE AT TERTIARY EDUCATION LEVEL
Developing students‘ translation competence is the main concern in translationeducation context. Translation competence is not simply understood as linguisticcompetence, in which changing the language from a source text into the targettext is considered as the core of translation activity. Indeed, translationcompetence consists of several interrelated sub competences. This paper is aimedat discussing students‘ transllation problems in translation and how to developtheir translation competencein a tertiary education level context. This is adescriptive qualitative research which is aimed at understanding students‘linguistic and cultural problems which reflect their translation competence. Thedata of this research consists of students‘ translation work and students‘responses to the questionnaires and interviews. Students are asked to translate anEnglish text into Indonesian. A set of questionnaires are also used to assessstudents‘ problems during translation and how they dealt with their translationproblems. The results show that most of the students have problems with bothlanguages and how to deal with cultural problems. In terms of linguistic level,students‘ problems varies from lecical problem, grammatical problems andsyntactic problems. Furher, students‘ cultural problems in translation mainlyrelated to difficulties in translating culture related terms from English intoIndonesian. The cultural related terms found in the source language text whichinclude food and drink references and relationship terms were not appropriatelytranslated into Indonesian. The students‘ linguistic and extralinguistic problemsshow that they may understand that translation is merely a linguistic activitywihtout considering the importance of cultural understanding. These linguisticand extralinguisic problems also indicates that extralinguistic and linguisticproblems often go together. These problems also reflect unsatisfying level ofstudents‘ translation competence which, in turn needs to be addressed intranslation curriculum so that students‘ translation competence willl develop well.Keywords: develop, student, translation, competence, educatio
Rhetoric Devices and Ideology: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Rashida Tlaib’s Speech on Palestine Issues
The Palestinian issue continues to be a central focus of global political and humanitarian discourse. In the United States, support for Palestine is often met with controversy, especially within discussions of foreign policy and civil rights. This study applies a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Aristotle’s rhetorical appeals pathos, logos, and ethos to investigate how Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, employs rhetoric and ideology in advocating for Palestinian rights. The data consist of three of her speeches retrieved from YouTube. The findings reveal that pathos (39.4%) is the most frequently employed rhetorical device, followed by logos (33.3%) and ethos (27.3%). Through tragic narratives and rhetorical questions, Tlaib evokes empathy and moral urgency; through data and logical reasoning, she critiques U.S. foreign policy; and through her personal identity and alignment with social justice movements, she reinforces credibility. Ideologically, her speeches emphasize humanitarian advocacy, anti-imperialism, global solidarity, and government accountability. This study underscores the power of rhetoric in reshaping public narratives and amplifying marginalized voices in the discourse on Palestine

Virtual Sphere: A Site to Negotiate the Image of Lengger Banyumas
The research aimed at investigating how Lengger used the virtual sphere to negotiate their image to society. Lengger
Banyumas was always stereotyped with the discourse of Queer, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (QGBT). Therefore, it led
to gender discrimination, not only on the stage but also in their daily life. Consequently, in this 4.0 era, Lengger needed
to use social media in order to create a different image as an alternative way to negotiate the dancer’s gender identity.
The method applied was Hine’s virtual ethnography method by applying Habermas theory. Respondents were interviewed virtually through video conference. Meanwhile, the data were collected through their Instagram. The results show that Lengger constructs their image on social media to produce an image by performing double-identity; they are feminine on the stage and masculine in real life. The first identity is a feminine dancer to reveal the image of a professional drag dancer from Banyumas. However, Lengger elaborates the masculine identity in their dance performance by wearing the attribute of female dancers. Meanwhile, Lengger also reveals masculine identity in their real life. As identity is fluid, it indicates that the image will also never be fixed. Thus, this image is reproduced constantly in the virtual sphere as a negotiation towards society’s stereotyping

Optimasi Akurasi Metode Convolutional Neural Network untuk Identifikasi Jenis Sampah
Waste is goods / materials that have no value in the scope of production, where in some cases the waste is disposed of carelessly and can damage the environment. The Indonesian government in 2019 recorded waste reaching 66-67 million tons, which is higher than the previous year, which was 64 million tons. Waste is differentiated based on its type, namely organic and anorganic waste. In the field of computer science, the process of sensing the type waste can be done using a camera and the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) method, which is a type of neural network that works by receiving input in the form of images. The input will be trained using CNN architecture so that it will produce output that can recognize the object being inputted. This study optimizes the use of the CNN method to obtain accurate results in identifying types of waste. Optimization is done by adding several hyperparameters to the CNN architecture. By adding hyperparameters, the accuracy value is 91.2%. Meanwhile, if the hyperparameter is not used, the accuracy value is only 67.6%. There are three hyperparameters used to increase the accuracy value of the model. They are dropout, padding, and stride. 20% increase in dropout to increase training overfit. Whereas padding and stride are used to speed up the model training process.Sampah merupakan barang/bahan yang tidak memiliki nilai dalam lingkup produksi, dimana dalam beberapa kasus sampah dibuang sembarangan dan dapat merusak lingkungan. Pemerintah Indonesia tahun 2019 mencatat sampah mencapai 66-67 juta ton, dimana lebih tinggi dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya yaitu 64 juta ton. Sampah dibedakan berdasarkan jenisnya yaitu sampah organik dan anorganik. Pada bidang ilmu komputer, proses penginderaan jenis dan bentuk sampah dapat dilakukan menggunakan kamera dan metode Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) yang merupakan jenis neural network yang bekerja dengan cara menerima masukan berupa citra. Masukan tersebut akan di training menggunakan arsitekur CNN sehingga akan menghasilkan output yang dapat mengenali objek yang diinputkan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan optimasi penggunaan metode CNN untuk mendapatkan hasil yang akurat dalam mengidentifikasi jenis sampah. Optimasi dilakukan dengan menambah beberapa hyperparameter pada arsitektur CNN. Dengan menambahkan hyperparameter diperoleh nilai akurasi yang tinggi yaitu 91,2%. Sedangkan apabila tidak menggunakan hyperparameter nilai akurasi hanya sebesar 67,6%. Terdapat tiga hyperparameter yang digunakan untuk menaikan nilai akurasi model yaitu dropout, padding, dan stride. Penambahan dropout sebesar 20% untuk meningkatkatkan overfitting saat pelatihan. Sedangkan padding dan stride digunakan untuk mempercepat proses pelatihan model
