ABSTRACT
ABSTRAK
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1Background of the Study
Nowadays many English novels have been translated into Indonesian,
but the quality of their translation is still categorized in law quality such as
not accurate enough, not easy to be understood, and not natural in translation.
To analyze the lack of the translated novels many aspects can be discussed.
For instance the transferring of meaning and contexts; the dictions, phrases,
and sentences structures in the translated novel; the translation of parts of
speech; the translation of tenses; etcetera.
Parts of speech are parts which are always found in sentence. If this
aspect is analyzed, the lacks in sentences of the translated novel are able to be
found— the accuracy of translated sentences and the sentences in the source
language can be evaluated. One of kinds of part of speech which is usually
used in sentences is preposition. The usage of each preposition in sentences is
different. It depends on contexts in the sentences, so their translation in
Indonesian will be different appropriate to the context. Although the
preposition used is the same, for instance, to used in a sentence and another
sentence also use to, but the context is different, the translation may be
different. For example: 1) “I need speak to you” and 2) “use the flag to
indicate your location”. To in first sentence will be translated into Indonesian
as “dengan” or “kepada” while to in second sentence will be translated as
“untuk” in Indonesian.
Prepositions at and in are prepositions which are most used in
transferring of contexts in the source language sentences can be found—the
meanings in the source novel are transferred well or not.
To Kill A Mockingbird, a novel by Harper Lee is translated by
Femmy Syahrani. The object to be discussed because the novel uses many of
prepositions at and in in various of contexts. So, in the translated novel these
prepositions are translated in various words depend on contexts where the
prepositions are. Besides that the novel is choosen because it is a famous
novel which won Pulitzer Award 1961. It must be a good novel with
marvelous content.

preposition at and in used?
1.3Purpose of the Study

novel.
2. To find out the contexts in sentences of the source novel in which the
1.4Scope of the Study
The scope of the study is on translation of parts of speech that is
prepositions, specifically it discusses about translation of prepositions at and
in into Indonesian. This study explains the translation of prepositios at and in
in various contexts which are in the novel.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The significance of the study are:

2. As a guide to study the translations of prepositions at and in in various
contexts.
3. To be a reference for the next researcher to analyze translation and the

1.6The Method of Research

books. The sources of data are Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird in

2. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TRANSLATION
2.1 Definition of Translation
According to Brislin (1976) quoted by Nababan (1999:19) translation
is general term which refer to transferring of idea or concept from a source
language into target language. Then, Nida and Taber (1982) in Widyamartaya
(1989:11) state that translating consists in reproducing in the receptor
language the closest natural equivalence of a source language message, firstly
in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.
It can be concluded that the key in translation is equivalence, that is
congruence in meaning between text in source language and text in target
language. The equivalence involves equivalence in linguistic and
non-linguistic (context of situation and culture) unsures.
2.2 The Process of Translation
According to Nida and Taber (1974) in Machali (2000) there are three
steps in process of translation : 1) analysis (to comprehend the text); 2)
transferring (transferring the language); and 3) adaptation into factors in the
target language. And according to Suryawininata (1987: 80) quoted by
Nababan (1999: 25), process of translation is in three steps: 1) analysis of
source language text; 2) transferring of meaning; and 3) restructuring. The
three steps which proposed by Suryawininata is showed in the following
Analysis Restructuring
Suryawininata (1987: 80) in Nababan(1999: 25)
1) Analysis of Source Language Text
The analysis is done by reading text to comprehend the meaning of
the text. This comprehension requires the understanding of linguistic and
extralinguistic unsures. Linguistic unsures refer to language unsures, the
analysis is done in all of sorts of levels such as sentence, clause, phrase,
and word which are in the source language text. While extralinguistic
unsures are related to socio-cultural of source language.
2) Transferring of Meaning
After grasping the meaning and structures of source language, the
next step is transfer the content, meaning or message which are in source
language into target language. The translator is demanded to find the
equivalence of source language words in target language. This process is
3) Restructuring
Restructuring is the change of tranferring process to be stilistic
form which match the target language, reader, or listener (Kridalaksana,
1984 in Nababan, 1999). In this step, the translator is demanded to decide
what language style that appropriate to the type of translated text. Also, the
translator has to notice to whom this translation for.
2.3 The Principles in Translation
Duff (1989) and Choliluddin (2009) quoted by Muchtar (2009: 41-44)
proposed the principles in translation, they are:
1. The translation should reflect accurately the meaning of the original text.
Nothing should be arbitrary added or removed, though sometimes part of
the meaning can be transposed.
2. The ordering of the words and ideas in the translation should match the
original as closely as possible.
3. Language often differ greatly in their levels of formality in a given context,
for example in the business letter. To resolve these differences, the
translator must distinguish between formal and fix expression, and personal
expression in which the writer or speaker sets the tone.
4. One of the most frequent criticisms of translation is it does not sound
the source language is to set the text aside and translate a few sentences
aloud from memory. This will suggest natural patterns of thought.
5. It will be better if the translator does not change the style of the original.
But if it is needed the translator may change it.
6. Idiomatic expression including similes, metaphors, proverbs, and sayings,
jargon, slang, and colloafest quialisms and phrasal verbs are often
