situation. The goal of an investigation is usually to determine
how or why something happened.

Investigations are usually formal and official. The word is

commonly associated with police investigations of criminal

In the field of RESEARCH, INVESTIGATION has a deep involvement.

What is Research?

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails

collection of data; documentation of critical information; and
analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in
accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific
professional fields and academic disciplines.

Research is conducted to evaluate the validity of a hypothesis or

an interpretive framework; to assemble a body of substantive
knowledge and findings for sharing them in appropriate
manners; and to generate questions for further inquiries.

In research there is a need for us to investigate much deeper using scientific method of In
literature, research writing is classified under academic writing where the writing styles
involves accurate, factual and non-opinionated literature

What is a research paper?

A research paper is a common form of academic writing. Research papers require students and
academics to locate information about a topic (that is, to
conductresearch), take a stand on that topic, and provide support
(or evidence) for that position in an organized report.
The term research paper may also refer to a scholarly article that
contains the results of original research or an evaluation of
research conducted by others. Most scholarly articles must undergo a process of peer review
before they can be accepted for publication in an academic journal.

A research paper basically has 5 chapters and each of those chapters has several parts, Let’s Start

audiences through the use of translation, non-English speaking countries

have been producing films dominating international film festivals and are

shown to other countries as subtitled in English but through the fact that

language barriers among various countries is still inevitable, the

translation of the verbal and non-verbal elements from one cinema to

another is a complicated process.

The Philippine movie industry is in its hype and more film

translation and subtitling is done. The process of translation will involve

substituting words from the target language as an approximate equivalent

of the source language. In doing so, the degree of equivalence of the SL

has the possibility to be sacrificed. Downplaying of the culture and the

sociocultural identity is inevitable. Hence, the process of translation must

consider the cultural language of the SL. Specific

Thus, translators should be extracautiousbecause the process of

transfer is delicate and needs extra effort to maintain the accuracy and the

that the translator translates not exactly according to the native language

the Filipino sociocultural identity expressed in the dialogues of the movie

such as its collectivism, politeness, Family Orientedness and other cultural

practices as the subtitling is done this is due to the fact that translating

cultural items will only be possible if the target language’s culture is

parallel to those of the source text’s. In addition translations are

sometimes unreliable, due to the fact that the source text might contain

inaccurate rendition and/or important additions and omissions which

results to vagueness of the message and change in meaning, this fact gave

way to the requirement of having high understanding the complexities of

Moreover, as the modern days welcome the use of foreign films as

pedagogical devices in language acquisition among learners, the trouble

occurring in subtitling must be given focus to ensure accuracy and

reliability of the transfer of language. Hadley (2011) mentioned that

cultures in terms of their language and accompanying unique features,
