<![CDATA[English passive voice has its own pattern. Some says that the pattern comes from the active form then it is changing. However, it is rather difficult to memorize the pattern, especially for the non-native people. X-bar theory is one way that can be used in understanding the passive form. By using X-bar diagram, the D- structure of the sentence can be seen and then moved into certain position which makes the S-structure of passive form. This study aims to see what movements exist in the English passive constructions and if there is any of special case. By giving the examples and the X-bar diagrams of basic form of passive, passive form of future tense, passive form of continuous tense, the special case inserting the word ‘by’, and also the use of word ‘get’; the construction of passive form will be clearly and easily understood.Keywords: passive voice, X-bar theory, S-structure, D-structure, movement]]>

<![CDATA[The portrayal of creole identity is presented in several literary works, one of them is in the portrayal of Antoinette Cosway in Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea. Antoinette Cosway firstly is the minor character in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. The research traces the link between Antoinette Cosway’s creole identity with her madness. According to Bhabha’s ambivalence theory, creole identity possibly creates a new identity as the result of interrelation between colonizer and colonized. Based on the research, Antoinette Cosway failed to create a new identity and became a madwoman instead. The cause is the complex situation faced by her and the lack of supporting aspects for constructing a new identity. Keywords: creole identity, ambivalence, Antoinette Cosway, Homi Bhabha]]>

<![CDATA[This article intends to unfold Orhan Pamuk’s conception or how he (re) presents women andtheir headscarves within Islamic tradition, with particular reference to his novel Snow. Snowopens with the return of Ka, a Turkish exile who has been leaving his country for 12 years toIstanbul in order to attend his mother’s funeral. He then decides to investigate a wave ofsuicide by young girls in the provincial city of Kars who object the ban of hijab in publicspaces. This study discovers that Pamuk explores the lamentation of the Muslim womenemanating out of the domain of religion and the will of the state as a stepping-stone to re(claim) the meaning of their headscarf and identity. Grounded in Mahmood theory, this studyargued that headscarf has a deeper meaning than just a symbol of religious devotion. It is aplatform of Muslim women’s individual will to exercise their chosen identity.Keywords: Muslim women, headscarf, religion, identity]]>

<![CDATA[The main aspect of translation is how one’s expression in one language is replacedwith an equivalent representation in another language. The representation should beequivalent in terms of its stylistic, referential, and linguistic features. Whether there is a needfor a translation text to be classified as "weak," "fair" or "good," its acceptability and themeans of determining it as well as how to improve one’s translation quality were what weinvestigated in this article. National and international translation standards now exist, butthere are no generally accepted objective criteria for evaluating the quality oftranslation. Therefore, such an assessment is needed to reveal the quality of the translation ofa text from Indonesian into English. This article aimed to assess it using an alternativeinstrument and suggestions on how to improve translation quality which the authors adaptedfrom NAATI (National Accreditation Authority of Translators and Interpreters). Theyadopted the stylistic, referential, and linguistic components of NAATI’s translation qualityassessment. Based on the limited data that they had, a number of improvement procedureswere recommended. Keywords: assessment, text, translation quality and improvement]]>

<![CDATA[Over years, translators have been incorporating new advances in technology into their work. A number of attempts in developing ideal translator’s workstations usingtechnology have been made, one of such stations is a Computer-Aided Translation(CAT) tool. CAT tools facilitate translators to increase their productivity and efficiencyby providing them with some utilities, such as a Translation Memory and an AlignmentTool to support their translation works. This article highlights the usefulness of SDLTrados 2014, as one of the most widely used paid CAT tools, in translating the textsmore effectively and in a timely manner. Further, it describes the basic steps in usingSDL Trados and exemplifies SDL Trados 2014 translation results. A sample text wastranslated from Indonesian to English using both Across (a free CAT tool) and SDLTrados (a paid CAT tool). Eventually, the results of translating using both CAT toolsappear to prove that SDL Trados helps the translators to translate more consistently,accurately, effectively and in a timely-manner. Keywords: CAT tools, SDL Trados, Across.]]>

<![CDATA[World Literature is not all literature of the entire world but only literature which travels outside its country of origin.The circulation and reception of texts in a given cultural system can be complicated due to languages. However global awork may be in intention, it can be seen as just a would-be work of world literature unlessand until it actually finds readers abroad. By making anEnglish version of the novel accessible, many African writers couldmaintain their bargaining power, especially towards the circulation system of World Literature. African literature has also inspired several adaptations, since adaptation itself has a significant place in World Literature.Moreover, when African literary works are included in some anthologies, they could perform particular types of discourse. It could be inferred that the anthologies of African literary works by women writers are different from their male counterparts.Keywords: world literature, circulation, translation, adaptation, anthology]]>
