ix ABSTRACT
The thesis entitled „Grammatical Errors in the Translation of MAJALAH MAHLIGAI TRADISI, PERNIKAHAN & GAYA HIDUP into English‟ is a study on translation. This study appeared because of the importance of translation role in the translation product from Indonesian into English. It was conducted to answer the curiosity of the writer about what kinds of grammatical errors made by the translator in the translation product from Indonesian into English. This magazine was chosen because of many grammatical errors occurrences found in the translation product from Indonesian into English. In order to identify and classify the kinds of grammatical errors made by the translator, the writer chose Richard‟s theory (1974:15). The method of the analysis was descriptive qualitative. The results of grammatical error are errors in the production of verb groups in 33 (61.11%) and miscellaneous errors in 21 (38.89%) occurrences. The most dominant grammatical error is errors in the production of verb groups in 33 (61.11%) occurrences. Grammatical errors happened because the subject was going out from the rule of a grammar in a context. The translator did not focus on cross linguistic influence. Errors in translation influence the quality of the final product.
