Abstract

This study aims to classifyand identify how the semantic equivalence of culture-specific terms achieved in English-Indonesian translation of novel The Duchess War. The aims then break down into five, following Newmark’s categorization of culture-specific terms; ecology, material, social, organizations, customs, and ideasand thelast is gestures and habits. The original novel investigated entitled The Duchess War by Courtney Milan and its translation entitled “Skandal Sang Duchess”translatedy Eka Budiarti as the subject of this study. The limitation of this study covers up the semantic equivalence of culture-specific terms of the English-Indonesian translation of novel The Duchess Warby considering the seven types of meaning proposed by Leech (1974); conceptual, connotative, stylistic, affective, reflective, collocative, and thematic meaning.Descriptive qualitative research is employed in this study. The data gathered through 490 sentences containing culture-specific terms were identified and after reducing the redundancy of the data, researcher found there are 106 types of culture-specific terms and categorized into five categorizations following Newmark’s. The result shows of 106 culture-specific terms, there are 20,75% ecology culture, 39,62% of material culture, 16,04% of social culture, 21,70% of organizations, customs, and ideas, and the last is gestures and habits that has 1,89% of data.Based on the data, there are some similar culture-specific terms found based on the data gained. The same culture-specific terms categorization found, but the meaning is different, or the same in meaning but different in TT translation. Those happened because the translator considers the context in the usage of certain terms. All the data has been examined by the expert and the different meaning due to the suitable context in the novel The Duchess War. Hence, the culture-specific terms between ST and TT are semantically equivalent.

Abstract

Translation always involves the transfer of culture between languages. Culture-specific items (CSIs) are objects of translation that often make translator find difficulty due to their peculiarity that root in source language (SL) culture. This requires the translator to consider both the SL culture and target language (TL) culture. Cultural transposition that consists of exoticism, cultural borrowing, calque, communicative translation, and cultural transplantation are translation procedures that concern with the transfer of culture between languages. This research is aimed to analyze the implementation of these procedures in rendering CSI from English to Indonesian. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research approach. The interpretation of the data is described in depth explanation. The object of this study is CSI extracted from Brown’s Inferno novel. The results of this study show that almost all of the cultural transposition procedures are implemented in rendering CSI in all categories. Results also show how these procedures are implemented in practices. Exoticism is implemented on items that are very peculiar to SL or items that derive from language that is not popular in TL. There are also a large number of CSI in the form of names that requires the translator to transfer the item without modification. Cultural borrowing procedure is implemented in on items that are strange but derive from language that is popular in TL or items in which TL culture have owned their general kind. This is done by phonological adjustment and specification. Calque is implemented on CSI in which their elements can be translated to TL. Results also show CSIs in the category of names are rendered using calque. Meanwhile, communicative translation and cultural transposition, from the result, only occur in CSI in the form of common expressions. Communicative translation occurs in rendering CSI that requires an explanation for its peculiarity. This is done by making a simple description that explains the CSI. Cultural transplantation is implemented in CSI that is developed differently in TL such as measurement/scales. This is done by rendering items with others that are similar or by converting that scales roughly. As the conclusion, there is a tendency that CSIs are rendered with SL biases procedures that bring TL readers to SL cultures.

Abstract

In translation, cultural differences become a huge obstacle for the translators to create a good translation. This study aims to explain the cultural filters in English-Indonesian translation of the children comic based on the dimensions proposed by House (2004, 2005). It also explains the functional equivalence achieved by the translation of the comic. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. In collecting the data, the researcher used transcription, table of cultural filters based on the dimensions of the cultural filters, and table of functional equivalence. The data were analyzed based on the dimensions of cultural filters in the terms of directness, orientation towards self versus orientation towards other, orientation towards content versus orientation towards addressee, explicitness versus implicitness, ad-hoc formulation versus verbal routines, and voice. The results showed that there were 310 cultural filters. Out of 310 cultural filters, 118 were explicitness versus implicitness, 85 were ad-hoc formulation versus verbal routines, 64 were orientation towards content versus orientation towards addressee, 15 were directness and orientation towards self versus orientation towards other, and 13 were cultural filter in terms of voice. Relating to the functional equivalence, 287 of them achieved functional equivalence and 23 dialogues did not achieve functional equivalence. It could be concluded that cultural filters could help the translators to overcome the problems relating to cultural differences in both source language and target language. Besides, it also helps the translation to achieve functional equivalence.

Abstract

The ability to implement the Thematic development is important in writing exposition text. Moreover, the exposition text is written to convince the readers. It means the writers are required to achieve the readers’ expectation. This study therefore aims to explore EFL learners’ exposition texts using Thematic progressions. The analysis of this element reveals the logical relations which become the main aspect in the text to achieve micro-level of coherence. Three exposition texts written by high, average and low proficiency level learners, are analyzed using systemic functional linguistics approaches on discourse analysis. The analysis reveals that the exposition text written by high proficiency level learner successfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence it achieves the micro-level of coherence. The Theme re-iteration patterns are implemented to keep the text focused. The zig-zag patterns are used to construct newly introduced information. Then, the multiple Theme patterns are implemented, especially in thesis statements of the texts, to preview the argument that will follow in the texts. Differently, the exposition text written by average proficiency level learner overuses one of the patterns, namely the Theme re-iteration patterns. This makes the text stuck in only same idea. However, the micro-level of coherence is still achieved as the logical relations of the text are still implemented successfully. Lastly, the exposition text written by low proficiency level learner unsuccessfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence the micro-level of coherence is not achieved. In sum, the implementation of Thematic progressions helps the texts to hang together and make sense.

Moreover, in indirect strategy, there are excuse reason and explanation, promise for future acceptance, statement of principle, threat or negative consequences, criticizing or statement of negative feeling or opinion, and verbal avoidance. Further, there are the similarities and differences of refusal strategies used by President Trump among the five different channels of political interviews. The similarities are shown in the interview with CNN; he is more indirect to refuse the interviewers’ want. It is similar to the interview with FOX and CBS News that he is more indirect too. In addition, the differences are shown that in the interview with CNN, FOX, and CBS News, he uses more indirect refusal strategies. In contrast, in ABC and CNBC News, he uses more direct refusal strategies. In term of social status, he uses more of indirect refusal strategies to the interviewers who have lower social status. It means that he wants to soften the offending of interlocutor’s face in refusals. This study also gives pedagogical implication for the language learners to improve their pragmatic competence especially in refusal speech act. Thus, they can use refusals appropriately for communication.
