Abstract:This study investigates the rhetorical and discourse functions of repetition in the English translation of Surah Al-Mursalat by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, focusing on the refrain “Woe on that Day to those who denied the truth.”…
h.” Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in stylistics and discourse analysis, the study explores how this fixed phrase, repeated ten times across the chapter, operates at multiple linguistic levels. The analysis reveals that the refrain serves three interrelated functions: stylistically, it foregrounds divine warning and creates rhythmic cohesion; structurally, it segments the surah into thematic units and signals discourse boundaries; rhetorically, it intensifies condemnation and engages the reader emotionally through cumulative repetition. Abdel Haleem’s consistent rendering of the refrain retains these functions effectively, unlike other translations that introduce lexical variation. The findings demonstrate that repetition in Qur’anic translation is not merely ornamental but performs essential linguistic and communicative roles. This study contributes to Qur’anic stylistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis by showing that sacred texts, when translated with rhetorical sensitivity, can preserve the stylistic integrity of the original.
Abstract:This study examines how thematic organization contributes to the construction of state power and social positioning in international news discourse. Drawing on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with a specific…
c focus on Theme–Rheme structure, the study analyses a BBC news report published in November 2023 on the Russian Supreme Court’s decision to designate the so-called “international LGBT movement” as an extremist organization. Using a qualitative textual approach, the text is segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify patterns of thematic choice and progression. The findings reveal a consistent foregrounding of institutional actors, such as state authorities and legal bodies, in Theme position when reporting legal actions and policy decisions, while members of the LGBT community and civil society figures are predominantly thematized in clauses expressing reactions, personal experiences, and anticipated consequences. This asymmetric thematic distribution constructs a discourse in which state authority is positioned as the primary agent of action, whereas affected social groups are framed as respondents to institutional power. The study demonstrates that ideological meanings in news discourse may be realized implicitly through grammatical organization rather than explicit evaluative language, and it highlights the value of Theme–Rheme analysis for examining power relations in contemporary international news reporting.

buah mesin atau computer dalam melihat atau mengenali sebuah citra dengan sama atau bahkan dapat melebihi kemampuan pengelihatan manusia asli. Salah satu metode yang digunakan dalam computer vision adalah gabor wavelet. Metode gabor wavelet merupakan salah satu metode yang mampu melakukan proses identifikasi wajah secara real time dan juga mampu melakukan tugas-tugas yang membutuhkan pencarian pada database wajah yang besar.
Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan systematic literature Review (SLR), yaitu dengan menggabungkan berbagai sumber dari jurnal penelitian sebelumnya. Tujuan dari penelitian dengan menggunakan pendekatan systematic Literature Review (SLR) ini adalah untuk mengetahui penerapan metode Gabor Wavelet pada Computer Vision.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode Gabor Wavelet pada computer vision banyak digunakan untuk pengenalan wajah (face recognition) dan deteksi wajah (face detection) yang bisa diterapkan di bidang komersial maupun bidang penegakan hukum dengan memberikan hasil yang sangat baik dengan tingkat akurasi 90%.
