Get PDFThis research is conducted by analyzing answering speech acts in Pride and Prejudice (PAP) novel and its two translation versions, Shira Media and Qanita Publisher. The aims of this research are to describe: (1) observing or non-observing the maxim, (2) the translation techniques used for translating answering speech acts in PAP novel and its two translation versions, (3) the translation quality of answering speech acts in PAP novel and its two translation versions, (4) the impacts of translation techniques toward the quality of answering speech acts in PAP novel.This is a descriptive-qualitative research. The source of data are documents, PAP novel; and informants who assessed the quality of the translations. The data are answering speech acts in PAP novel and the information about translation quality given by the informants. The techniques of data collection are content analysis, questionaire, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD).Result: It is found out that there are observing and non-observing the maxim used in answering speech acts in PAP novel and its two translation versions. In Shira Media Publisher, the translation techniques used are: established equivalence, variation, borrowing, amplification (explicitation), amplification (addition), reduction, modulation, adaptation, transposition, literal, discursive creation, particularization, and generalization. Established equivalence and variation techniques commonly appear in observing and non-observing maxim quantity. These techniques also produce accurate and acceptable translations. Meanwhile, there are 11 translation techniques used in Qanita Publisher are: established equivalence, variation, borrowing, amplification (explicitation), amplification (addition), modulation, reduction, discursive creation, adaptation, transposition, and particularization. Same as the novel Shira Media Publisher, established equivalence and variation techniques also commonly appear in observing and non-observing maxim.The research findings in this research show that established equivalence technique has positive impact to translation quality. Meanwhile, literal and discursive creation are technique that produce less accurate and less acceptable translation. However, the findings also show the majority of translation techniques used are able to create accurate and acceptable translations.Keywords: cooperative principles, translation techniques, translation quality

The Use of Microstrategies in Students' Translation: A Study on Classroom Translation Process and Product
Get PDFThis paper discusses about the microstrategies of translation used by undergraduate students of English studies of Dian Nuswantoro University. Accordingly, these microstrategies are proposed by Schjoldager (2008). The use of Schjoldager’s microstrategies is based on three reasons, they are: 1) these microstrategies are more specific and thorough and also outnumber the other translation strategies; 2) the use of translation microstrategies fits with students’ status as non professional translators; 3) they can show the degree of creativity applied in a translation work. In order to get the data, a translation task was applied in this study. Therefore, both translation process and products became crucial elements in this study. As a result, six microstrategies are applied by the students. Surprisingly, students who achieve the GPA below 2.75 are more creative than students who achieve 2.75 GPA or above.

RETAINING STYLE WITHOUT HARMING FIDELITY: A CASE OF TRANSLATING PAULINE METAPHORS
Get PDFThe objectives of this study are to legitimize the retention of metaphors in the translation when they do not harm meaning and dynamic fidelity, to assess renderings on the basis of their fidelity, and to suggest alternative renderings for the ones violating the fidelity. This study shows surprising findings. Applying Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) metaphorical concepts on Pauline metaphors, the researcher finds that many English and Indonesian metaphors have the same metaphorical concepts. This potentially makes the retention of the metaphors in the rendering meaningful or natural due to its match with the dynamic fidelity. The context of the meaningful metaphors, then, must be analyzed to determine the accuracy or meaning fidelity. This study echoes the notion that style is as important as meaning (Mahmkjer, 2004; Shi, 2006:10), even though Nida and Taber (1969) strongly suggest that meaning must be the top priority when it is in tension with style in their translation. To the translators, this study suggests not hastily discarding metaphors in the translation, replacing them with non-metaphors and, therefore, missing the significance of metaphors.Key words: metaphor, translation, fidelit

The data obtained from the dialogue of novel, then were analyzed by using the communicative ethnographic approach by considering the existing speech context, namely: speech components. The data of the research included speech dialogue in a novel there were code switching. The data collection of the research began by determining of novel, documentation technique, classification technique, and coding of data technique. Then, using ethnographic method with domain analysis technique, taxonomic analysis technique, componential analysis technique, and cultural of themes analysis technique.

The factors influencing the code switching most often appears is Ends factor in a inter sentential code switching with percentage 24,7% and rarely appears is a act sequence factors in a tag switching with percentage 2,3%. And the last the functions of code switching most often appears to convince the hearer functions in a inter sentential code switching with percentage 12,9%, then never appears to respect hearer functions and to change situation or humor functions in a inter sentential code switching 0% Keywords: code switching, sociolinguistic study, Poplack’s sociolinguistics approach, Surga yang Tak Dirinduka

ROLE RELATION NEGOTIATION BETWEEN NATIVE SPEAKER AND INDONESIAN EFL-LEARNER IN AN ENGLISH CASUAL CONVERSATION
Get PDFDialogue is the means language gives us for expressing interpersonal meanings about roles and attitudes. Being able to take part in dialogue means being able to negotiate the exchange of interpersonal meanings and being able to realize social relations with other language users. This study aims at describing the patterns of role relation negotiation as the realization of interpersonal meaning in an English casual conversation between native speaker (NS) and Indonesian EFL-learner (NNS). The patterns were studied through the choice of speech functions when the interactants act on each other. The results of this study show that NNS plays his role as initiator, while NS as supporter; the conversation is the one of information negotiation rather than goods and services negotiation. Key words: casual conversation, interpersonal meaning, role relation negotiation, speech functio
