Abstract

This article discusses techniques in translating English idioms found in All American Girl novel. The novel is written by an American novelist, Meg Cabot, and translated into Indonesian by Monica Dwi Chresnayani. This research focuses on describing the techniques used by the translator in producing a proper translation. The data are analyzed by comparing idioms from source language with the translation in target language. The writer applies the theory of translation proposed by Vinay dan Darbelnet in analyzing the data. Vinay and Darbellnet in Venuti (2004) proposed several techniques of translation. These techniques are categorized in two models; direct and oblique translation. Direct translation can be applied in; borrowing, calque, and literal translation, while oblique translation can be applied in; transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. The writer describes the analysis by providing tables along with its narrative description. The result of the research shows that the translator uses two techniques in translating; they are modulation and transposition. For the modulation technique, the writer finds that the translator utilizes some semantic changes and switches some positive forms to negative ones in target language. For the transposition techniques, the translator applies some adjustments of word class and word order. Keywords:  Idiom, Technique, Context

Abstract

Waiting for Godot and Endgame by Samuel Beckett are two of the most famous absurd plays of the 20th century. Some previous analyses have been dealing a great deal with the philosophy of the absurd and the socio-economic critique in the works.

Concepts that are used are Freudian slips, as well as symbols and free associations. This article will explore the relationship between the author’s past with his works and the ways in which the author reflects his latent desires into his work. In can be concluded that there is a common thread between the events in the author's past, and that they contribute to the author’s psychological disorders that are expressed in the two works.Keywords: Freud, Beckett, thanatos, psychobiography
