Abstract
This study maps the emerging themes and methodological approaches characterizing translation and interpreting (T&I) research published by Indonesian-affiliated authors between 2020 and 2024. A systematic mapping review design was adopted, drawing on Grant and Booth (2009) and Cooper (2016), with data collected from Google Scholar via Publish or Perish and GARUDA using bilingual keyword clusters. Following systematic screening of 1,453 deduplicated records, 753 publications were included in the final corpus. Findings reveal four dominant thematic clusters: machine translation quality evaluation, audiovisual translation, translation techniques and strategies, and cultural and literary translation. Interpreting studies account for less than 9% of the corpus, reflecting not merely a research gap but an institutional failure to nurture interpreting as a distinct academic and professional discipline in Indonesia. Qualitative textual analysis dominates methodologically, with an emerging computational strand concentrated in internationally indexed outlets. The study provides a preliminary baseline map of accessible Indonesian T&I journal literature, with implications for researchers, educators, professional bodies, and policy makers seeking to strengthen the field’s scholarly infrastructure.This study maps the emerging themes and methodological approaches characterizing translation and interpreting (T&I) research published by Indonesian-affiliated authors between 2020 and 2024.

This study mapped the global landscape of pragmatics and speech act research through a bibliometric approach. A corpus of 1,346 Scopus-indexed articles and reviews published between 2015 and 2025 was analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R and Biblioshiny, examining publication trends, citation patterns, and network structures including co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings revealed a sustained growth in research output (annual growth rate: 10.1%), sustained by a small set of core journals, most prominently the Journal of Pragmatics, and a group of highly prolific authors distributed across institutions in Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East. Theoretically, the field remained anchored in foundational constructs derived from speech act theory, politeness, and interlanguage pragmatics, while emerging areas such as digital discourse, corpus-based approaches, and computational applications had gained increasing visibility. Co-citation analysis identified Austin (1962), Searle (1979), and Brown and Levinson (1987) as the most consistently cited intellectual anchors. The co-word network revealed a conceptual structure centered on speech acts and pragmatics, with interconnected clusters related to politeness and interactional norms, specific speech-act types such as requests and apologies, and emerging computational or data-driven approaches. Taken together, the results sketched a field that had grown substantially over the decade, consolidated around a recognizable set of theoretical anchors, and opened up toward new methods, media, and cross-linguistic contexts.

Research on Arabic reading skills has increased substantially in response to the growing demand for Arabic proficiency in academic, religious, and foreign language education; however, existing studies remain fragmented and lack an integrated overview. Bibliometric analysis combined with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) provides a comprehensive framework for mapping publication trends, collaboration networks, research themes, and knowledge gaps. This study aims to analyze global research trends on Arabic reading skills during 2016–2025 and identify their pedagogical implications for Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzed 105 Scopus-indexed journal articles selected through the PRISMA protocol. Data were collected from the Scopus database and examined using VOSviewer through co-occurrence, co-authorship, citation, and thematic analyses. The findings reveal a significant increase in publications after 2019, five dominant research clusters, and limited international collaboration, with notable gaps in higher education and non-Arab AFL contexts. The study concludes that Arabic reading research has become increasingly interdisciplinary but requires stronger international collaboration, broader contextual research, and more integrative pedagogical frameworks to support future Arabic language teaching and research.
Penelitian mengenai keterampilan membaca bahasa Arab mengalami peningkatan signifikan seiring meningkatnya kebutuhan penguasaan bahasa Arab dalam konteks akademik, keagamaan, dan bahasa asing, namun kajian yang ada masih terfragmentasi dan belum memberikan gambaran yang komprehensif. Analisis bibliometrik yang dipadukan dengan Systematic Literature Review (SLR) memberikan kerangka untuk memetakan tren publikasi, kolaborasi, tema penelitian, dan kesenjangan riset. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan perkembangan penelitian global tentang keterampilan membaca bahasa Arab periode 2016–2025 serta mengidentifikasi implikasinya bagi pembelajaran Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan analisis bibliometrik dan SLR terhadap 105 artikel jurnal terindeks Scopus yang dipilih melalui protokol PRISMA. Data dikumpulkan dari basis data Scopus dan dianalisis menggunakan VOSviewer melalui analisis co-occurrence, co-authorship, sitasi, dan tema. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan publikasi sejak 2019, terbentuknya lima klaster tema utama, serta masih terbatasnya kolaborasi internasional dan penelitian pada konteks pendidikan tinggi serta AFL di negara non-Arab. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kajian keterampilan membaca bahasa Arab berkembang menjadi bidang interdisipliner, namun memerlukan kolaborasi global, penelitian yang lebih kontekstual, dan kerangka pedagogis yang lebih integratif.

This study examines the translation of culture-specific items (CSIs) in A Space for the Unbound, an Indonesian adventure game localized into English. Using Vinay and Darbelnet's (1995) translation procedures as the analytical framework, supplemented by Baker's (1992) concept of cultural substitution, the study analyzes thirty-two CSIs drawn from Chapter 1 of the game, categorized into honorific titles, idioms, question tags, humor, sarcasm, slang, figurative language, and proverbs. Data were collected through comparative analysis of the Indonesian source text and its English localization. Findings show that cultural substitution was the dominant strategy, applied across most categories, while functional equivalence appeared in slang exclamations, literal translation in proverbs, and omission and addition in question tags. These results confirm a broadly domesticating orientation in the translation and contribute to the limited body of research on CSI translation in Indonesian-language video games.

As professional communication becomes increasingly globalised, systematic understanding of the intersection between intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) remains limited. This study maps ICC-ESP research from 2003 to 2023 in order to identify publication trends, theoretical orientations, and pedagogical gaps. Using co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping, and burst detection with VOSviewer and Bibliometrix, the study analysed 387 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. The findings indicate three predominant thematic clusters: ICC in business and medical settings (45%), theoretical adaptations of the Byram framework (28%), and technology-mediated virtual exchange (18%). The results show a highly skewed distribution across domains: Business and Medical ESP account for 76% of the corpus, whereas Engineering, Legal, and Agricultural ESP remain under-represented. The corpus also shows a marked geographical imbalance, with a large majority of publications produced in high-income countries and limited representation from the Global South. The study further identifies a persistent theory-practice gap, reflected in the limited availability of validated assessment instruments and longitudinal pedagogical interventions. The study offers a systematic account of the domain coverage and geographical distribution of ICC-ESP research and examines the shift from deficit-oriented framings towards translanguaging and postcolonial approaches. It also considers implications for pedagogical practice in under-researched professional domains.

This article, which presents a bibliometric analysis of discourse analysis research in Türkiye, systematically evaluates nearly 50 years of production in the field using the Scopus database. The findings of the research indicate that discourse studies in Türkiye are predominantly concentrated in the social sciences and humanities. The most prominent thematic concentrations are on political discourse, nationalism, populism, gender, and European Union debates. While Critical Discourse Analysis stands out as the dominant methodological approach, innovative techniques such as multimodal analysis or corpus-based methods appear to be insufficient. An examination of language preferences reveals that English is overwhelmingly preferred for global visibility, while Turkish remains an important local production language. Institutional performance analyses reveal that Bilkent, Koç, and Boğaziçi universities hold leading positions in terms of both publication volume and citation impact. An examination of collaborative networks among authors reveals that individuals such as Deniz Zeyrek and Bedrettin Yazan play a central role. However, it is also true that a significant portion of the 2,883 authors remain outside these collaborative networks. International collaborations and citation rates demonstrate that the integration of researchers in Türkiye with the global academy is becoming increasingly stronger, but this interaction can be further enhanced. The study also points to significant gaps in the existing literature. The limited number of discourse studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the inadequate research in contemporary contexts such as digital platforms and artificial intelligence, and the limited methodological diversity are among the most prominent shortcomings.
