Abstract

Eco-translatology, an emerging field focusing on ecological-themed texts and sustainable translation practices, was explored in the translation of the Gayo narrative--“The Legend of the Origin of Depik”-- The study investigated the strategies employed in the translation process through qualitative content analysis. Interpretation is examined from linguistic, cultural, and communicative dimensions using Hu's (2001) three-dimensional adaptation and selection theory. The findings showed that strategies like “emptying,” “compensating,” and “leaning on” were used, however, the translation faced challenges in attaining accuracy, cultural connotations, and effective communication. Translators must prioritize these aspects to achieve a faithful rendition, aligning eco-translatology’s three-dimensional adaptation and selection theory. This research emphasizes the importance of environmental awareness in translation and highlights the need for further attention to ensure successful ecological and culturally sensitive translations.

Abstract

The interaction between the Mandailing people and their natural environment is represented in the text Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk (1872) by Willem Iskandar, which is examined in this work from an ecolinguistic standpoint. This research uses lexical and discourse analysis to find ecological terminology, metaphors, and tales that represent the Mandailing people's holistic worldview of the 19th Century, which views people, animals, and plants as interrelated. It was also discovered that the Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk text had embedded local knowledge values and sustainable cultural practices, such as care for the environment and the proscription of overexploitation. By demonstrating that classic literary works may be a helpful source of ecological information, the study's results advance the field of ecolinguistics. Additionally, by incorporating conventional ecological knowledge into contemporary discourse, this study presents a fresh viewpoint for advancing environmental sustainability. This research affirms the significance of conserving regional languages and cultures to maintain ecological values in the face of global environmental issues by establishing a connection between the past and present.
