The use of appropriate strategies to translate idioms determines the quality of the idiom translation because the meaning of idioms cannot be extracted from its each component word.The research was conducted to describe the types of idioms found in Crazy Rich Asians novel and to analyze the strategies used in translating the idioms by applying Baker’s translation strategy.The data were taken from idioms found in Crazy Rich Asians novel. There were 325 data which were analyzed qualitatively to determine the types of idioms and what strategies were employed. The result shows that opaque phrases dominated of all idiom types, followed by semi-transparent phrase, semi-opaque phrase and transparent expression. There were five strategies employed in translating idioms, they were using an idiom of similar meaning and form, using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form, translation by paraphrase, translation by omission and literal translation. Translation by paraphrase is the most frequent strategies used to translate idioms because the equivalent idioms in Bahasa Indonesia are not available. Even though in Baker’s strategy does not include literal translation, this strategy is applicable to translate transparent expression, but it is not appropriate in translating opaque phrases. This research will be beneficial as the source of information and reference related to the translation of idioms.

Abstract

In the process of acquiring L2, most of the students usually face many difficulties in pronunciation. One of the problems is L1 transfer. Therefore, the objectives of this study is to explain the influence of Semendenese South Sumatra dialect (SSSD) towards students’ English pronunciation of English vowels, consonants, diphthongs, consonant clusters, to explain the effort of the teacher in developing of the student’s pronunciation. This study used descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study can be concluded that SSSD gives positive transfer on the final vowel sound [ǝ]. Since this vowel sound existed in SSSD in words were frequently produced on final position. Moreover, SSSD did not strongly give positive transfer on students’ pronunciation of English vowels [ɪ], [ʌ], [ʊ], [e], [ɒ], consonants [p], [b], [t], [d], [z], [k], [g], [f], [h], [s], [m], [n], [ŋ], [l], [r], [w], [j], final diphthong sounds [ɔɪ] and [aʊ], and consonant clusters [st], [pr], [str], and [spr]. Moreover, SSSD did not strongly give negative transfer on the substitutions of long vowel sounds [i:], [ɜ:], [ɑ:], [u:], [ɔ:], and [æ] into short vowel sounds [ɪ], [ǝ], [ʌ], [ʊ], [ɒ], [e], consonant sounds [tʃ], [dӡ], [v], [ɵ], [ð], [ʃ], [ӡ] into sounds [t], [j], [p], [f], [d], [z], and diphthong sounds [iǝ], [eǝ], [ʊǝ], [eɪ], [ǝʊ]. It occurred not only because of these sounds did not exist in SSSD sound system, but it was also influenced by spelling interference from L1 and lack of pronunciation training. Last, the effort of teacher in developing students’ pronunciation was still lack and had to be improved.
