Abstract

This study aimed to explore linguistic competence in academic text translation by professionals, focusing on their awareness, dominant linguistic competence and strategies, and the impact of Machine Translation (MT) and AI-driven software on their workflow. The research utilized the PACTE TC’s model (2003), which includes pragmatic, sociolinguistic, textual, grammatical, and lexical sub-competences. A qualitative research design by Creswell Creswell (2018) with a descriptive method was employed to delve deeply into the subjective experiences of professional translators.  The surveys were conducted via Google Form from March to April 2024. The results indicate that the respondents demonstrated high awareness of linguistic competence, particularly in pragmatic, sociolinguistic, textual, grammatical, and lexical aspects. Respondents identified linguistic challenges such as lexical, textual, and sociolinguistic issues. Strategies to overcome these challenges included using online resources, human checks, and continuous learning. The results also show varied attitudes towards MT and AI, with some translators embracing these tools for efficiency and others preferred manual methods. MT and AI were perceived to enhance translation quality, especially in grammar accuracy and efficiency. However, the study’s limitations highlight the need for future research on the effectiveness of different MT and AI tools, balancing technological assistance with human expertise, and the impact of training programs.

Abstract

This study explores the variety of basic colors in the Javanese language and aims to elucidate their meanings using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage Theory. Employing a qualitative research paradigm, data were collected from various sources, including Indonesian and Javanese dictionaries, LCC Indonesian 2022 and LCC Javanese corpus from CQPWeb. The study identifies 10 basic colors in Javanese, namely Ireng (black), Putih (white), Abang (red), Ijo (green), Kuning (yellow), Biru (blue), Soklat (brown), Wungu (purple), Jambon (pink), and Klawu (gray), while Indonesian has only six basic colors: Hitam (black), Putih (white), Merah (red), Kuning (yellow), Hijau (green), and Biru (blue). Utilizing the features of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory and the Basic Color Term approach by Berlin and Kay, the study analyzes the Javanese colors. The research highlights differences in color explications between Javanese and Indonesian, stemming from variances in using semantic atoms to explain color meanings. For instance, in Javanese, the color black is explicated using a spice herb named "temuireng" and yam, while in Indonesian, it is explained using charcoal. Additionally, certain secondary colors in Indonesian, such as Brown, Purple, Pink, and Grey, are considered basic colors in Javanese. The findings contribute to the advancement of color studies in semantics.
