Abstract

Process of translating noun phrases from English into Indonesian causes a translator has a difficulty in determining structure of noun phrase in target language because of the different structure between both languages. This reason caused translation shifts and equivalence occur to get the appropriate meaning. Shift according to Catford is regarded as the change of formal structure of the source language into target language (cited in Venuti, 2000) while Nida regards the concept of equivalence as best translation which does not sound like translation (cited in Venuti, 2000). Most of researcher conducted shift and equivalence on Indonesian noun phrase into English translation. This study is about shift and equivalence of noun phrases in English-Indonesian translation of Barbie short stories. Therefore, there are types of equivalence and two translation shifts that must be enalyzed, namely level shift, and category shift and its sub categories; structure shift, class shift, unit shift, and intra system shift.  To obtain the data, this study applied descriptive qualitative approach. The data which have been gathered were described and suited with the aim of this study. The findings map out the high use of translation shift than equivalence applied. The use of translation shift makes the translation of noun phrases more naturally and acceptable. The use of category shift, i.e. structural shift was the highest step in process of translating Barbie short stories. While the highest equivalence occurs on textual equivalence where there was equivalence structuring of a text. This study provided suggestions regarding to the implications of this study. For English language learners, they have to learn translation shift in order to understand message from target language properly. Relating to the equivalence, form and meaning were frequently not fully equivalent, but one should be noticed that forms may change but meaning must not change. In dynamic equivalence, although the form was different, but the meaning was the same.

Abstract

Persuasion is an important factor to politicians to show the power and influence the people. In the United States Presidential Election, debate is one of the tools to convey the candidates message. Most of the utterances used in debates aimed at affecting and convincing the audiences or the voters. Persuasion according to Searle (1979) is regarded as a directive speech act in which the speaker’s intention is to make the hearers to commit him or herself to perform some form of action. Most of the researchers conducted persuasive speech acts from the point of view of discourse. There is no study about natural data like debates. This study is a study about observance of Cialdini’s principles of speech acts of persuasion in 2016 US presidential debates. Therefore, there are six principles that must be observed, namely consistency, authority, reciprocity, social-evidence, preference/ liking and rareness/ scarcity. It used descriptive qualitative method to get the findings. The findings of the study are proved that most of the presidential candidates observed Cialdini’s principles. They used several ways like asking the voter’s need, making a promise, and disfiguring the interlocutors. Finally, this thesis provides suggestion regarding to the findings. At this point, the first plan is to present some tested principles of persuasion in debate classes. Next point is how you might use the principles to increase community interest in your topic, and to win people over, fairly and ethically, to the way of thinking.

The findings revealed that: (1) learners’ depth of vocabulary knowledge significantly correlated to English reading comprehension achievement (r=0.662), (2) learners’ depth of vocabulary knowledge contributed 43.9% to their English reading comprehension achievement, (3) learners’ home literacy significantly correlated to English reading comprehension achievement (r=0.610), (4) learners’ home literacy accounted for 37.3% to their English reading comprehension achievement, (5) learners’ depth of vocabulary knowledge and home literacy significantly correlated to their English reading comprehension achievement (r=0.749), and (6) learners’ depth of vocabulary knowledge and home literacy contributed 56.1% to their English reading comprehension achievement. The findings added the body of literature that the higher the adult EFL learners’ score on depth of vocabulary knowledge and home literacy, the higher their score on English reading comprehension achievement.
