This research is a cross-sectional sample survey with a qualitative approach of Malay Jambi’s phonology in Sarolangun Regency. The data was collected in the field using observation and interview methods. It has a form of notes, interview transcriptions, and audio and video recordings. The data was analyzed using a phonetic articulator matching method with a diving-key-factors technique as a basis. The results are presented based on the phonetic symbols of the IPA Chart (revised 2005). As found in the research, Malay Jambi of Sarolangun has six vowels and twenty consonants, one of which does not occur in native Malay Jambi words. Beyond the phonological system description, this paper discusses various features found in Sarolangun like nasalization and laxing of vowels, consonant and syllable deletion, or glide insertion.

Shift is one of the phenomena in translation to suit with the acceptability of translation product. This article aims at finding out the shifts of form in translating passive clauses found in the novel Harry Potter translated by Listiana Srisanti. This research used a qualitative method where the research analysis relied on linguistic description and employed meaning-based to reveal and describe how is the existence of shifts of form and meaning in the translation. The data of this research were passive clauses taken from the novel “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” as the source language (SL), and the passive clauses translation in the target language (TL) obtained from the translated Novel “Harry Potter dan Relikui Kematian.” Based on the data analysis, it shows that the translation shift of form comprised structure shifts 67 data (60%), class shifts 37 data (33 %), and unit shifts 8 data (7%). Even though the shifts found in the translation, there was an acceptable translation of passive clauses. Thus, it indicated that there are shifts in translation, but it was acceptable.

This paper discusses the transitivity of sensory verb in Indonesian. This verb is sufficiently productive and analytical in its morphological process. The structural approach is used as to explain the transitivity of sensory verb in Indonesian. This research is conducted under three methodological procedures. They are a. collecting data, b. analyzing data, and c. displaying the result of the data analysis. The distributional method is used to analyze the data. On the data collecting, the method used is observational technique whereas in analyzing the data, the method used is distributional one using grammatical test, and the result of the analysis is presented using both informal and formal method. Owing to the research already done, thus, it was found that the sensory verb in Indonesian may undergo various morphological processes. Such morphological processes bring about implication to both categorical change and grammatical functions. Focusing upon the verbal features of sensory verb in Indonesian, it seems that Indonesian belongs to agglutinative language. This might be proved that 1. Indonesian is an affixed language, 2. The affix could be segmented with an obvious boundary of free morpheme and bound one, and 3. The morphological process on the verb brings about the change of grammatical relation or the verb transitivity that is prefix Vtr. + main which ma-'nominativeaccusative', suffix verb Vtr.-(k)an 'causative', and prefix Vtr. di-'passive'
