The use of slang words in Indonesian has become a common phenomenon among teenagers. In the context of using the Indonesian language, the use of slang words can affect the language proficiency of high school students. This study aims to explore how the use of slang words in Indonesian affects the language proficiency of high school students. This research employs a qualitative research design with a Case Study approach. The study uses Huberman's Analysis, which involves three main stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of the study indicate that the use of slang words in Indonesian can interfere with high school students' ability to use Indonesian properly and correctly. This is due to the shortening of words, the addition of letters to standard words, the use of letters, and the use of numbers in writing, which can hinder the growth and development of the Indonesian language. Therefore, it is important to increase high school students' awareness of the importance of using proper and correct Indonesian and to instill a love for the Indonesian language among teenagers

Learning a dual language at the same time during early childhood has caused the wrong perception. Its false perception makes the parents delay the start of learning a second /foreign language. Therefore, This study aims at analyzing the first and second language acquisition of a child in the Indonesian Language and English. The issues concentrated on the spoken utterances in Indonesian and English and its affecting factors. The research adopted a qualitative approach by using a case study, as the unit analysis is a child of 3 years old. For data collection, I employed The naturalistic approach, which I kept daily notes on the progress of a child’s linguistic and recorded the dialogues. Since it is a longitudinal study, the research was conducted for two years, from 2014 to 2015. The research has revealed that utterances spoken have primarily increased and the child has already understood the commands by following the instructions. Some concepts such as feeling, taste, color, and numbers as well as short phrases and simple words in Indonesian and English at the same time can be understood and uttered. She also can change the affirmative sentence to question in term of objects she sees in her surrounding. Factors such as linguistic inputs, imitation, environment, and significant others as exposure, and language acquisition device affect a child utterance. Thus, it indicates that two languages can be taught at the same time at an early age, and it doesn’t cause misunderstanding or confusion utterance, language acquisition, exposure, L1 and L2

Students in the Business Administration Study Program in LPKIA Bandung must do their final projects as one of the requirements before graduating from the D-3 program. This final project is called minor thesis and is written in the Indonesian language. It is a custom practice that the titles and abstracts of the minor thesis be written in both Indonesian and English languages. As the students mostly have limitation in their capability to write in English, many of them just translate the titles and abstracts, for example by using the Google’s translation services. Hence, there is a great possibility the translation will be incorrect; some words or expressions may not be translated correctly to conduct the originally intended meanings of the authors. Additionally, it sometimes happens that students just misperceive the meanings of certain words, for instance, the Indonesian word ‘pengelolaan’ may simply be used and interpreted as ‘management’ while students may actually want to discuss about ‘penanganan’ or ‘handling’ of a certain task or procedure. This study uses the descriptive analysis method to unveil common mistakes made by students when translating their minor thesis’ titles from Indonesian to English, to discuss and offer better English choices of words for their translation, and to provide a reference so that students in the future can avoid similar mistakes when they write their minor thesis’ titles in English

<p>The evidence of cultural link between Indonesia and China does not always could be seen from classical artefacts only but also from the existence of some vocabularies in the written and oral language in Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia). Survey concerned with the vocabularies in Indonesian language which derived from foreign language, including those words derived from Chinese language, was conducted by Russell Jones. The result had been written in a book called <em>‘Loan Words in Indonesian and Malay</em>’. The survey had recorded around 1.100 words in Chinese language which had been borrowed<br />by the Indonesian language and had spread out in differnt kinds of aspect of meaning, including the aspect of meaning related to food and beverage, which will be described in this paper.</p>

This study aims to describe the forms of error in using Indonesian language in the legal ruling on sharia economic cases in the Makassar Religious Court. Research is a descriptive qualitative research that is documentative or library research. The data in this study are the use of legal language on the decisions of sharia economic cases number 73 / Pdt.G / 2015 / PA. Mks. Makassar Religious Court. Data collection is done through documentation techniques, by examining a number of references to the use of legal languages, both in the form of books, journals, magazines, newspapers, research reports, and legal documents that are relevant to the problems under study. Recording, namely the author records all matters relating to the phenomenon of legal language usage, which is obtained from the decisions of the Makassar Religious Court and relevant documents, into the notebook prepared in the form of a body of data. The steps of data analysis, namely (1) Identifying the legal language that has experienced an error, (2) Classifying the form of sentence writing errors in the decision of the sharia economic case of the Makassar Religious Court, (3) Analyzing the form of sentence using the Indonesian language in economic case decisions Makassar Islamic sharia, (4) Describe any form of language use error accompanied by descriptions or explanations. The results of the study showed that the Indonesian sentence in the law in the sharia economic decision of the Makassar Religious Court experienced structural errors as a result of not having the function of the subject in sentences, and improper use of conjunctions, and not paying attention to punctuation, diction, ambiguous words, use of redundant words, and adjust the context of the case with the right reasoning pattern. As a result of these errors, the meaning of the sentence becomes ambiguous, making it difficult for the reader to understand. Apart from that, sentence structure errors can cause differences in the meaning that is generated in a decision

This study aims to describe and analyze the similarities and differences between katai in Japanese words and keras in Indonesian words in terms of the study of meaning (semantics). Classification of data is carried out based on the theory put forward by Kunihiro (1989) and to determine the similarities and differences in meaning, it refers to the equivalent technique, where the phenomena are icchi (equivalent in both languages), ketsujo (equivalent in a language I, but not in language II), and shinki (equivalent in language II, but not in language I) (Konayagi, 2006). The data used in this study is data taken from corpus data and various articles or online news in Japanese and Indonesian. The results of the study indicate that there are corresponding and unmatched meanings for the words katai and keras. There are 9 data meanings that experience the icchi phenomenon, while the meaning of expansion is only found in Japanese (shinki) there are 4 data and the meaning of expansion is only found in Indonesian (ketsujo) found 10 data. This research is only limited to the analysis of meaning (semantics) so further research is needed regarding the contrastive analysis of katai and keras words in terms of syntactic studies, so that Japanese language learners not only understand the comparison of meanings but also understand the comparison of the use of katai and keras words in the structure and construction of Japanese and Indonesian sentences.

This study aimed to investigate the dominant language used (English or Indonesian Language) in the linguistics landscape in Indonesia. Therefore, the research method applied in this study was descriptive analysis, and the technique of collecting the data was documentation technique. The finding shows that the dominant language used at malls or shopping centres was English, while at the office building of private companies and streets, the linguistics landscapes were dominantly written in the Indonesian language. However, this research was only focused on the Indonesian and English language used in the linguistics landscape. Therefore, research is suggested to be conducted in more languages and more places for better findings and impact.

Translation is important in understanding foreign cultures, including the ones exposed in novels. This study aims at investigating the grammatical equivalence of the translation of an Indonesian novel “ Laskar Pelangi ” by Andrea Hirata into English through Google Translate, from which the data collected. The method was qualitative with content analysis that covered five grammatical categories of number, gender, person, tense and aspect, and voice. The findings indicated the following points; Since Indonesian language has no category of number, most of nouns are translated as singular nouns in English. The third singular persons in Indonesian language, ‘ dia ’ and ‘-nya ” show no sex, the translation depends on the context, otherwise it is translated as a male person. Indonesian words “ kami ” and “ kita ” are translated with “ we / us ”, and the translation indicates no dimensions of familiarity and formality for the first and second singular persons “ saya, aku ” translated by the word “ I / me ”, and “ kau, kamu, anda ” by “ you .” Indonesian language has no tense and aspect, where the verbs do not conjugate to express temporal or aspectual distinctions. It has the equivalence when the text source is written with time. When the source text is passive, the English verbs are written in a passive voice. The translation distortion is related to semantics and grammar. As the conclusion, the grammatical equivalence of the translation of the novel is low.

It has been acknowledged among translators that translating literary texts poses some difficulties. The translators have to make a decision among other choices related to diction. Not only diction, the inherent literary elements must also be rendered adequately in order to achieve “literariness”. Although the debate whether maintaining literary elements in a way that does not deviate from the source text or creating the elements anew is far from over, it is also worth noting that the essence of translation activity is not creating an original text, but it is a re-creation of meaning, a result of translators’ interpretation. Researches on literary translation are mostly about to what extent the translation is able to deliver a ‘similar’ literary value, the strategies applied by the translators, and how the target text readers respond to the ‘new creation’ of such texts. The elaboration of how the literary translation undergoes changes or shifts is not quite an issue in the field of literary translation research because it is considered ‘too linguistic’. However, in light of the Prague School tradition which examines shifts not only on surface level, but also on discourse level, the discussion on the shifts occurring in literary translation is worth conducting. This paper tries to take a look at the translation shifts occurring in the English version of Goenawan Mohamad’s poem collection entitled “On God and Other Unfinished Things” which is translated from Bahasa Indonesia “Tuhan dan Hal-hal Yang Tak Selesai”, especially poems 33 by comparing the literary elements in Bahasa Indonesia and English versions. The analysis departs from category shift in micro-level analysis to the semantic, textual, pragmatic, rhetorical, and stylistic components. The result shows that there are some significant distinctions concerning the linguistic and non-linguistic discrepancies found in Gunawan Mohamad’s poems and their English translation. Keywords: literary text, translation shift

This research is prompted by the prevalent use of foreign words in Indonesian language communication in public domains. Actually, many of those words have been assimilated into the Indonesian language as equivalent words. From this standpoint, this study aims to (1) describe the proficiency of Indonesian language users in comprehending Indonesian equivalent terms, (2) describe the rationale behind the utilization of equivalent terms, (3) describe the inclination towards employing equivalent terms, and (4) describe the endeavors to enhance the comprehension of equivalent terms. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that employs the researcher as the primary data collection instrument, assisted by questionnaires. The listening method, specifically the techniques of active listening and note-taking, is employed as a data presentation method in this research. The results of this research show that Indonesian language users have a low understanding of equivalent words. This is evident from the 15 foreign vocabulary words asked for their equivalents, only 5 words were understood by most respondents. In addition, the reason respondents chose equivalent words was that they often heard them from others and read articles or news in the media. Furthermore, most respondents tend to choose and use foreign terms rather than their equivalents in communication. Efforts to develop Indonesian language users' understanding of equivalent words include socializing equivalent words, increasing educators' understanding of equivalent words, and directing public figures and the mass media to intensify the use of equivalent words.

Every nation has its own language with distinctive features and historical background that differentiate between one another. Indonesian language and Afrikaans language is regarded to possess several historical resemblances. Indonesia was once colonized by the Dutch for 350 years, and therefore, some of the words or language structure in Indonesian language are influenced by Dutch language. In the meantime, South African people in the northern part of the country are very familiar with Dutch language. The study found out several similar words between Indonesian and Afrikaans language. The unique variations discovered in this study comprised: 1) similar spelling and pronunciation, 2) different spelling but similar pronunciation, 3) similar spelling but different pronunciation, and 4) almost similar spelling and pronunciation, but with similar meaning. Therefore, both languages are comparable in terms of identifying similarities and differences between both languages’ sound and spelling. The study intended to provide a reference for the Indonesian Language for Foreign Learners (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing, or henceforth, BIPA) teachers that conduct language teaching to the BIPA learners from South Africa. Vice versa, the BIPA learners will be able to comprehend Indonesian words following the dissemination of language kinship between Indonesian and Afrikaans language. Following that, the BIPA learning process will be more effective.Keywords: comparative analysis, conversation vocabulary, verbal language, Indonesian Language, Afrikaans
