This research explores the efficacy of two prominent machine translation platforms, DeepL and ChatGPT, in translating academic idioms from English to Indonesian. Academic idioms, situated between discipline-specific jargon and universally understood expressions, pose a challenge for existing translation systems, particularly those rooted in Neural Machine Translation (NMT). The study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, focusing on translation precision and naturalness, with bilingual experts evaluating translations through a questionnaire, focusing on translation precision and naturalness. The comprehensive analysis involved 50 participants who assessed translations on a scale of accuracy and fluency using Fiederer and O'Brian's (2009) rating scale. The results indicate that both platforms exhibit strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy and fluency. While DeepL demonstrates trust in its translation proficiency, ChatGPT receives a more favorable response, especially regarding fluency. Participants preferred ChatGPT for fluency in handling academic expressions, indicating its adaptability. The study also revealed a general agreement among participants regarding the difficulties both platforms encounter in accurately translating academic idioms, emphasizing continuous requirements for improved machine translation. These insights enhance understanding of machine translation's strengths and limitations in academic setting, with implications for future technology development.

The Use of Code Switching to Represent Social Class in Tunisian Television

2024-07-23T10:04:15+07:00

Tunisia is a country with a long history and rich culture, causing its contemporary society to be multilingual. Every Tunisian person will be introduced to five different languages before the age of 18, making Tunisians more vulnerable to the phenomenon known as code-switching: the switching between two or more languages in one’s same speech. It is known that according to Bourdieu, the language you speak represents who you are, and one’s use of code switching, especially between Arabic and French, could be their way of assessing their own social status. This paper tested out this theory by analyzing the speech patterns of different characters in Tunisian TV shows, through both a sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic point of view. The goal of this practical analysis was to determine whether certain characters’ use of Arabic/French code switching was purely coincidental or aiming at a demarcation of said character’s social status. The analysis found that characters in Tunisian television will indeed use code-switching to affirm their own social status or try to make themselves resemble high social class individuals, meaning their use of French is calculated and holds a very particular goal. In retrospect, this shows that TV show writers will use Arabic/French code switching as a tool to expose social disparities and lay a foundation for social criticism.
