Abstract

One of the most challenging problems for EFL students is to be able to express themselves not just grammatically but also acceptably and naturally in English in appropriate contexts.  The ability to produce acceptable and natural expressions in English is closely related to the EFL students’ competence in collocation—which words go together in normal usage. The present study provides an empirical analysis on negative transfer made by Indonesian EFL students in lexical collocation and recommends practical ways to help students improve their competence in collocation.  Data for the study was collected from essays written by 40 EFL university students majoring in English in Indonesia whose native language is Indonesian. The students were asked to write a two- to three-page essay on an assigned topic. Of 445 lexical collocation errors found in the English writing, 321 (72%) were negative transfers of Indonesian lexical collocations into English. The findings suggest the necessity of direct teaching of collocations, the use of The Collins WordbanksOnline, and the need to design bilingual collocation dictionaries.Keywords: Negative Transfer, Lexical Collocation, Indonesian Collocation, Acceptable Collocation

Abstract

This is a descriptive analysis study which focuses on the translation of preposition “of” from English into Indonesia with using novel Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and its translation as its objects of the research. In this research, the researcher wants to find out; 1.) What are Indonesian translations of preposition “of” in the novel Harry Potter, 2.) What are the plausible reasons of translating preposition “of” into Indonesians according to translation theories (principle and strategy of translation). So, the aims of this research are; 1.) to find out Indonesian translation of preposition “of” in the novel Harry Potter and the chamber “Of” Secrets, 2.) to find out the plausible reasons of translating preposition “Of” into Indonesians according to translation theories (principle and strategy of translation). The result of this research shows that there are 23 ways in translating preposition “of” from English into Indonesian and there are 3 categories of plausible reasons that could be given, namely a.) not translated, b.) translated into Indonesian Preposition, c.) translated into Indonesian other parts of speech. So, this research provides better knowledge in translating preposition “of” into Indonesian by not using the same translation for preposition “of” in every context since each context may have different translation for preposition “of” depends from its meaning and function, and that by using the same translation of preposition “of” in every context without considering its meaning and function will lead the translation into a mistake.  Keywords: Descriptive analysis, preposition, translation strategies, translation principles.

Abstract

As one of figures of speech, people often use metonymy when they want to refer to one entity by means of another entity based on their contiguity. In translation, this figure of speech can sometime pose a problem, as the target language readers may not culturally accustom with the metonymy that the source language text uses to make reference to a particular entity. By relying on Chesterman’s trope change strategy (or rather a set of strategies), this research attempted to analyze the strategies used in translating _nglish_es found in the novels Exclusive by Sandra Brown and A Pocket Full of Rye by Agatha Christie, which are used as the source of the data in this research. The method used in this research is the descriptive-analytical method. Based on the analysis, the researcher found that the metonymies are translated into two out of three subclasses of the trope change strategy, namely: translating the figurative expression in the same form as the SL figurative expression (ST trope X → TT trope X) and translating the figurative expression plainly into a non-figurative expression in TLT (ST trope X → TT trope Ø). Key words: metonymy, Chesterman’s trope change strategy

Abstract

This is an annotated translation research. The methods employed in this research are introspective and retrospective methods. The outcomes of this research showed that of 100 difficulties of 68 items of lexicon, 19 items of grammatical structure, 9 items of communication situation, and 4 items of cultural context found in this research, 25 items of the difficulties were annotated and were categorized into 17 items of lexicon, 5 items of grammatical structure, 2 items of communication situation, and 1 item of cultural context. The researcher solved the problems by using relevant translation theories, principles, and strategies as well. Based on the 25 items which had been annotated by the researcher, it was found that there were 14 translation strategies, namely 4 items of cultural filtering, 2 items of paraphrase, 1 item of emphasis change, 3 items of transposition, 2 items of synonymy, 2 items of distribution change, 1 item of literal translation, 2 items of hyponymy, 3 items of explicitness change, 1 item of clause structure changes, 1 item of phrase structure changes, 1 item of abstraction change, 1 item of interpersonal change and 1 item of calque used by the researcher to solve the difficulties in translating the source text into the target language. It can be concluded that in translating a novel entitled A Baby for Rebecca, the translator encountered some difficulties and to solve the problems of the difficulties, the translator employed translation theories, principles and strategies. This suggests the necessity for the translator to have adequate understanding of translation theories, principles, and strategies in the course of translation. Keywords: Annotation, Translation Theory, Translation Principle, Translation Strategy
