Abstract

This study focused on the analysis of the translation strategies and resulted translation quality in rendering metaphors found in the Twilight novel. The analysis involved the translation strategies by Newmark (1988) and translation quality by Hartono (2016). The results showed that there were seven translation strategies utilized by the translator in rendering the metaphors in the Twilight novel from Indonesian into English with total metaphors were 164. Those metaphors were translated using translation strategies: reproducing the same metaphorical image in the target language 48 times (29%), replacing the metaphorical image in the source language with a standard metaphorical image in the target language with 25 times (15%), translating metaphor by simile by maintaining the metaphorical image with 20 times (12%), translating metaphor by simile plus sense with 13 times (8%), converting a metaphor to its sense or meaning only with 44 times (29%), deleting metaphor with 7 times (4%), and translating metaphor by the same metaphor with the sense or meaning added with 7 times (4%). In terms of content quality, the translation of metaphors was dominated by good content, presentation, and mechanics quality. Moreover, the application of each translation strategy would result in different types of translation quality in terms of content, presentation and mechanics. In addition, it is suggested that the employment of translation strategy in rendering metaphor should consider deeply the existence of the same metaphor both in the source language and target language because the quality of the translation will be determined by the translation strategies.

Abstract

This study focused on the analysis of non-observance Grice conversational maxims utilized by characters in Friends TV Show which involved the flouting maxim, violating maxim, infringing maxim, suspending maxim and opting out maxim. The results of the study showed that that almost all non-observance Grice conversational maxims were utilized in generating verbal humours in which opting out Grice conversational maxim was hardly found to create verbal humour. All types of verbal humours were successfully performed by the characters through flouting conversational maxim in which flouting manner and relation maxims concealed all types of verbal humours due to the irrelevant and ambiguous information delivered by the characters. In addition, the ways the characters being intentionally misleading without any implicature produced had generated humour for the audiences. Furthermore, literalness verbal humour was the most generated humour performed by the characters in infringing the maxims due to characters’ foolishness and lack of imagination. Moreover, suspending Grice conversational maxim was only found in suspended messages and voice call which was funny at the right setting in which there was no implicature produced and expectation to fulfil the maxim. However, there was opting out Grice conversational maxim discovered in this study due to the involvement of third party. For the further study, it is insinuated that the study of verbal humours could be investigated along with the non-verbal communication in order to see the connectivity among the verbal humour and non-verbal communication within conversation.
