Kata, Makna Dan Penerjemahan

Makna dan penerjemahan memiliki hubungan yang sangat erat. Menerjemahkan berarti melibatkan pergeseran serangkaian makna atau unit linguistik dari satu bahasa ke bahasa lain. Dalam hal ini berarti dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa sasaran, dan siswa sering membuat kesalahan. Kesalahan terjadi karena ketidakmampuan siswa untuk mentransfer makna leksikal dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa sasaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisa kesalahan yang sering dibuat siswa dalam hal menerjemahkan makna leksikal dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa sasaran. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif, yaitu mendeskripsikan secara faktual kesalahan-kesalahan linguistik yang ditemukan dalam teks terjemahan berdasarkan fakta yang ada. Obyek yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini adalah kesalahan-kesalahan dalam menerjemahkan Teks Bahasa Inggris ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa Teknik Informatika. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut bahwa beberapa ketidakmampuan penerjemah untuk mentransfer makna kata dikarenakan: 1) kurangnya penguasaan kosa kata; 2) ketidakmampuan dari penerjemah untuk menemukan sinonim yang memiliki kelas kata yang sama dengan kata yang diterjemahkan dalam bahasa sasaran yang disebut transformasi kata-kata

Text Translation Method by Considering Information Distribution in the Form of Theme-Rheme Relation

This study will analyze the translation of sentences in the text by giving consideration to the distribution of information presented in the form of Theme-Rheme relation. First we will identify Themes - Rheme in the sentences in the text and will analyze the results of the translation. The theme is information that is priori-tized in a sentence usually placed in the beginning of sentence, and Rheme is the proposed information. There are three types of Themes, namely Topical Theme, Interpersonal Theme, and Textual Theme. The object of discussion here is the Topical Themes, which are Themes relating to how the subject matter discussed in the clause or sentence is laid out. Topical themes are divided into two types: Marked Topical Theme and Un-marked Topical Theme. The analysis of Topical Themes are taken from a bilingual children's book entitled Sangkuriang from the publisher Nexx Media Inc., Bandung. Sangkuriang is one of the popular Indonesian folklore that tells of a very beautiful mother whose admirer is his own son. The text to be analyzed is part of the text that tells about the birth of Dayang Sumbi, the mother of Sangkuriang. From the result of the whole analysis, the source text consists of 10 Marked Topical Theme and Top 10 Unmarked Topical Theme. There are some Topical theme changes from the source text to the target text: a sentence with an Unmarked Topical Theme is translated into a sentence with a Marked Topical Theme, and vice versa. Based on the analysis of Topical Themes on the Source Text and Target Text it can be concluded that there are some sentences that have shifted Topical Themes. There have been some changes in information due to the shift in this Topical Theme, so it can be said that this translation is not good. At the end of the analysis is given an edit on the target text. The edit of this translation does not change the Topical Theme from the Source Text, so the sub-ject matter in each sentence of the Target text is the same as the subject matter in each sentence of the Source Text
