The first problem of this research is what kinds of English copular clauses are used by the author, and the second is what kinds of Indonesian clauses are employed in translating them into Indonesian. The researcher chooses the topic since there are no formal correspondence of English copular clauses in Indonesian. The objectives of this research are to classify the English copular clauses used by the author in composing this novel and to identify the kinds of Indonesian clauses employed by the translator. The data are taken from a gothic science fiction novel entitled Frankenstein and its translation. The findings of this research show that, firstly, the predicational clause is the one which is dominantly used by the author to compose this science fiction novel; the precentage of predicational clause is 66%.
