Energi mempunyai posisi yang sangat strategis dalam pembangunan suatu negara, khususnya dalam mengakselerasi kemajuan ekonomi negara. Bagi Indonesia, Kebijakan Energi Nasional(KEN) adalah kebijakan pengelolaan energi dengan tiga prinsip dasar yakni berkeadilan, berkelanjutan dan berwawasan lingkungan. Tulisan ini menemukan bahwa tingkat konsumsi energi Indonesia masih rendah, yakni sekitar 2 %, di antara tingkat konsumsi primer negaranegara besar (AS, RRT, Uni Eropa, India dan Jepang). Total konsumsi energi Indone sia sekitar 1.600 milyar barrel equivalent minyak pada tahun 2014 atau naik 3,4 %. Tingkat konsumsi energi sangat penting karena akan menentukan pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu negara. Kenaikan konsumsi energi bagi Indonesia diharapkan akan semakin menaikkan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Selain itu, Indonesia ternyata masih tergantung pada energi fosil, dengan konsumsisebesar 74 % (Minyak Bumi 44 % dan Batubara 30 %). Sementara konsumsi gas bumi berkisar 18 % dan Energi Baru Terbarukan (EBT) hanya sekitar 8 %. Tidak ada pilihan lain, kunci kemandirian energi terletak pada kebijakan konsumsi energi Indonesia yang harus berubah dari konsumsi energi fosil menjadi konsumsi energi non fosil dan EBT. Untuk itu Indonesia harus segera merubah pola konsumsi energi di sektor transportasi, dari BBM ke BBG dan biofuel serta listrik. Pemerintah Indonesia harus serius dan konsisten dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan perubahan tipe konsumsi energi, dimulai dari sektor transportasi publik (massal) hingga ke transportasi pribadi. Di samping itu, pemerintah harus memprioritaskan pengembangan transportasi publik dengan energi non BBM, terutama di kota-kota besar.

The present research aims (1) to identify and describe the shift of the elements of the nominal groups, (2) to identify and describe the translation accuracy of the nominal group ,(3) to identify and describe the acceptability of the translation of the nominal group, (4) to identify and describe the readability of the translation of the nominal group,This descriptive qualitative research applied purposive sampling technique. There were 822 data of the nominal group. The data collection technique that was used was :(1) observation to get the sentences which contained the nominal group, (2) the questioners and interviewed with key informants to get the accurate translation of nominal group, to get the acceptable translation of the nominal group, to get the readable translation of the nominal group. The research findings show the followings. The shift of the nominal group element can function as guidance to translate the nominal English group. The total score of the translation quality was 2,86, from the rank 1-3, so the quality assessment of the translation of the nominal group was near perfect.

This research aims to see how booster expression as rhetorical devices in several presentation transcripts provided TED.com are translated from English into Indonesian. Given that there are cultural differences in the use of booster expressions from the two countries. Therefore, the objectives of this study are threefold. 1. To find out what presenters use booster expressions as rhetoric tools in several presentations at TED.com, 2. Then look at what translators use translation techniques in translating booster expressions from English into Indonesian. This research is descriptive qualitative research. Data were taken from six presentation transcripts at TED.com and transcripts translated into Indonesian. All data will be categorized according to the rhetorical function of the booster expression. Then the researcher will see what translation techniques are used in translating the booster expression. Data validation was carried out through FGD before the analysis was carried out. The study results revealed that not all the booster expressions could be well translated. This can be seen from the considerable number of deletion techniques applied by the translators. Several assumptions became the reason for selecting this technique, specifically; the cultural differences between the source language and the target language in using booster expressions and the lack of translator competence in translating booster expressions.

This study is about discriminatory language in Pramoedya Ananta Toer's works 'Anak Semua Bangsa', 'Rumah Kaca', and 'Jejak Langkah'. Precisely, it examines forms of discrimination realized through discriminatory expressions. Data for the study were obtained with document analysis and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Results of data analysis show that the unequal use of language in this study relates to social class and gender. Social class discrimination takes the forms of subordination, stereotyping, marginalization, and violence. In addition to workload, gender discrimination also takes similar forms of discrimination. It is of great importance to note, however, subordination forms dominantly appear within the two variables.
