Abstract

This research analyzes the element of anthropomorphism in the classical Malay literary work entitled "The Tale of Bayan Budiman". Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics and behaviors to non-human entities, such as animals and natural phenomena. In this tale, the main character, a Bayan bird, is depicted as having the ability to speak, give advice, tell stories, and lead like a human. This research employs qualitative textual analysis methods to explore the representations of anthropomorphism in the narrative, dialogues, and descriptions of the text. The findings reveal that anthropomorphism is used to convey moral messages, stimulate the reader's imagination, and reflect the Malay worldview on the relationship between humans and nature. However, anthropomorphism can also obscure the essence and nature of different living beings, especially for child readers. This research contributes to the preservation of Malay literary heritage and provides a deeper understanding of the use of anthropomorphism in classical works

Abstract

This study analyzed the translation procedures used in the translation of the children's short story "The Village Leader" from English to Indonesian. The study found that literal translation was the only translation procedure used in the translation of the story. Literal translation is a direct translation procedure that translates word-by-word processes with consideration towards the grammar and idiomatic structures from the source language to the target language. The high frequency of literal translation usage in this study suggests its importance in maintaining the original meaning and context of the story, ensuring that the translated version is easily understood by the target audience, especially children. The study highlights the importance of translation in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps, especially in the context of children's literature. The research method used in the study, which involved qualitative analysis and content analysis, was appropriate for in-depth understanding of the messages, values, and social context contained in the story.
