RESEARCH FINDING AND DISCUSSION
A. INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the research finding of the study and the answers to the
problem statements that are mentioned in the first chapter. This chapter consists of
three parts, they are: (1) Part one which deals with the translation techniques used
by the translator to translate interjections found in the bilingual comic of The Very
Best of Donald Duck Comics 15th Edition, (2) Part two which assessess the
accuracy of the translation of interjection found in bilingual comic of The Very
Best of Donald Duck Comics 15th Edition, and (3) Part three which assessess the
naturalness of the translation of interjection found in bilingual comic of The Very
Best of Donald Duck Comics 15th Edition.
B. RESEARCH FINDINGS
1. Techniques of Interjections
This part describes the translation techniques used by the translator to
translate interjections found in the bilingual comic of The Very Best of Donald
Duck Comics 15th edition. To analyze them, the researcher adopted Maria Josep
Cuenca‟s strategies in translating interjections. Moreover, the researcher adopted
Fernandez‟s procedures (2006: 50) to analyse interjection in the comic, especially
in analyzing noun interjection identified as a name. Lastly, the researcher also
applied explicitation procedure by Vinay and Darbelnet (as cited in Molina and
commit to user
Albir 2002: 500). Unlike the term used by both experts in defining how the
translator solves the problem in translating interjections mentioned above, the
researcher prefers to use the term “technique” because this research analyses the
result of a translation product in the bilingual comic. As stated by Molina and
Albir in their journal entitled “Translation Techniques Revisited: A Dynamic and
Functionalist Approach (2002) “a technique is the result of a choice made by a
translator, its validity will depend on various questions related to the context, the
purpose of the translation, audience expectations, etc.” All explanations about
interjections techniques found in this research are as follows:

1.1. Literal translation
This technique uses an interjection in the target language
conveying the same meaning as that the source interjection and consists of
equivalent lexical items. In the comic, the researcher finds 87 data
translated into Indonesia by using literal technique. The use of this
technique is exemplified as follows:
Example 1
ST: Help! Help!
TT: Tolong! Tolong!
(Datum 004-S1)
Based on Cambridge Dictionary “help” means “to give something to
someone or to take something for yourself.” Donald feels afraid when he
sees that a dog becomes a monster having a long tongue and sharp nails.
He is ready to eat him. Feeling in danger, he screams to get attention from
other people to help him. Moreover, he said it repeatedly to show that he is
very afraid in this situation. The word “help” is translated into “tolong”
which means of “minta bantuan” in Indonesia. It can be concluded that
commit to user Example 2:
ST: Run! We gotta make it to the wall!
TT: Lari! Kita harus mencapai tembok itu!
(Datum 113-S2)
“Run” is a secondary interjection using imperative as basis. It is used by
Donald‟s nephews when they are chasing away from a wolf. They scream
and run quickly to hide behind the wall. This interjection also has function
to express their anxiety over the wolf wanting to catch them. The
translator translates this interjection of “run” by using literal translation
into “lari”.

“Arf! Arf!” is onomatopoeia sound of a dog chasing after the boys. The
translator translates it into “Guk! Guk!”. “Guk! Guk!” is imitating sound
of dog when the dog sees a strange thing and he wants to bite it in
Indonesia. Phonologically, both languages produce the sound differently,
but they refer to the same meaning that is an angry dog‟s sound. It happens
because the sound received by each person and how it imitated is different.
One of the factors influencing the meaning of interjection is phonological
system of each language. It means that the translator translates this
interjection by using the same form of primary interjection of
onomatopoeic word, and they have the same meaning in both languages.
Example 2:
ST: Whoa, sounds extreme! Who‟s the daredevil?
TT: Wuah, kedengarannya ekstrim! Siapa si pemberani itu?
(Datum 065-S1)
A reporter expresses this interjection when he is hearing Donald Duck‟s
commit to user
extreme Donald action is. Donald will do a jump from a bridge by making
the cord a little longer. It is a dangerous choice because his head can hit
the land. Hearing the expression of the reporter, Donald‟s nephew stops
his conversation and looks at the reporter. “whoa” is an expression “used
when telling a person to stop what they are doing or to do it more slowly”
(Cambridge Dictionary). Here, the translator translates primary
interjection of “whoa” into “wuah” including primary interjection in
Indonesia. “Wuah” is an expression used to express amazement about
something uncommon in positive way. It is usually expressed with a loud
voice to get attention from other people. In conclusion, the technique
applied in this example is translation by using similar meaning and similar
form.

The translator translates interjection into different in form, such as
primary interjection translated into secondary interjection and vice versa,
but he still keeps the meaning of the source text in the target text. Here are
some examples of the data translated by using this kind of technique:
Example 1
ST: There!Only a bloodhound would be able to find this…
TT: Nah! Hanya anjing pelacak yang bisa menemukan ini!
(Datum 489-S9)
Finally, Gearlosse can find a place to hide his ball where no one can find
it. He expresses it by using interjection of “there” included as secondary
interjection of adverb. The translator prefers to translate “there” into
“Nah” which means “kata seru untuk menyudahi (menukas,
menyimpulkan, dsb) perkataan atau jalan pikiran.”(KBBI) Moreover,
“Nah” is a particle word that cannot stand-alone. It is considered as
primary interjection in the target language. The translator changes
commit to user
target text. Although, the translator changes the form of the interjection, he
still keeps the meaning of source text.
Example 2
ST: Gee!
TT: Wah!
(Datum 045-S1)
Etimologically “gee” is a euphemism of Jesus used as an introductory
expletive or to express surprise or enthusiasm (Merriam Webster
Dictionary). In the context, “gee” is an expression of enthusiasm of a child
because Donald can save and take his ball. It is showed by the child‟s
gesture. His face looks very happy, his mouth opens widely, and his hands
has been ready to accept the ball from Donald. “Gee” is secondary
interjection considered as verbal classes in the source language. The
translator translates the expression into “wah” meaning “kata seru untuk
menyatakan kagum, heran, terkejut, kecewa” (KBBI). It is a primary
interjection. The translator has choosen expression having the same
meaning with the source language, but he lacks of consideration that “gee”
commit to user
form as the source language used as a euphemism to God, such as
Subhanallah. However, this kind of expression is closely related to a certain religion in Indonesia. It can be concluded that the translator has
been translated the expression with the same meaning, but it is different in
form.

The meaning of the source text and the target text are different, but the
translator still keeps the form of interjection. This technique is not
recommended to translate interjection. “The basic concept of translation
process is transferring meaning from source text into target text” (Nababan

“Ye…es”is Donald‟s agreement to Captain Spaulding‟s statement. In his
statement, Spaulding said “Now, we‟re really getting the best footage
ever!” Donald answers the statement when he is in the shoulder of Captain
Spaulding and he is making video of the crocodiles‟s activity in the river.
At the same time, the crocodiles also want to eat them. It means Donald
feels afraid when he answers the statement. Contrarily, the translator
translates it to be “iyaaa” which means agreement with annoyed or
agreement with enthusiasm in the target language. Though the translator
translated the interjection with similar form of secondary interjection and
he creates the same effect by lengthening the last vocal in the word “a” as
the source text, the meanings of both are very different. In fact, the
translator can preserve the meaning of source text into the target text by
lengthening the vocal “i” in the target text to show Donald‟s afraid of the
crocodiles.
Example 2:

In the context situation the expression of “yecchh” is used to express an
unsavoury taste of gliquid drank by Doc Static. When someone gives
gliquid to Doc Static, he said “yecchh” spotaniously and puked the
qliquid. Contrarily, the translator translates this expression into “hiyaak”
which is an expression of someone who is ready to fight in the target
language. However those two words sound the same, misspelling can
create different meaning. “Yecchh” is pronounced [yek/yekh]. Then
“hiyaak” is pronounced the same. The translator should translate the
example above by imitating the pronunciation of “yecchh” that is
[yek/yekh]. “Yek” itself is common word used to express unsavoury taste
in the target language.

1.5. Omission
There are two kinds of omission technique found in the data of
this research. They are partly deleted and totally deleted. The explanations
are as follow:
a. Partly deleted
The translator omits some words or some information of the
interjection from the source text into the target text.
Example 1:
ST: Well, then… why haven‟t you hand it over?
TT: Lalu… Kenapa kamu belum mengantarkannya padaku?
(Datum 203-S4)
The example shows that two words “well” and “then” in the source text
commit to user
omits the word “well” indicates dissaoppinted feeling and angry feeling of
Mickey because someone takes a letter from Mickey‟s hand and does not
return Mickey‟s own mail yet. He just translates “then” that is “an adverb
used to indicate a particular time in the past and future” (Encharta
Dictionary) into “lalu” meaning “kemudian; lantas”. This omission
effects to emotion conveyed by Mickey in the target language. The
expression cannot be fully transferred into the target language. Therefore,
the target reader assumes that there is no emotion conveyed by Mickey in
this conversation.
Example 1
ST: Aw, shucks! He‟s a pussy cat!
TT: Ah! Dia pengecut!
(Datum 030-S1)
This example shows that the translator translates two words in the source
text into a single word in the target text. The words “aw” and “shucks” are
transferred into “ah”. This interjection is used by Donald to express his
commit to user
that Donald does not feel afraid of the snake. This expression can also be
assumed that Donald feels surprise toward the owner of the snake because
he thought that they will not be afraid of the snake. Furthermore, the
interjection of “ah” in the target language has meaning of “kata seru yg
menyatakan perasaan kecewa, menyesal, keheranan, tidak setuju” (KBBI)
In conclusion, the deletion done by the translator in this example does not
change the meaning of the interjection from the source text into target text.

b. Totally Deleted
All the information of interjection are deleted by the translator
from the source text into the target text
Example 1:
ST:It doesn‟t matter, boys! Heh, heh! I‟ve got the stamp here!
TT:Tidak masalah, anak-anak! Aku punya perangko yang asli di
sini!
(Datum 191-S3)
The deleted word in the above datum is “heh-heh”. It is a happy laugh of
Mr. McDuck because he is successfully deceiving his nephew and
decoying the men who want to steal his precious stamp. It is an
anomatopoeic interjection imitating human sound. This interjection is not
only a laugh, but it is also having specific meaning. By using this laugh,
Mr. McDuck wants to show to Donald and the men that he is successfully
deceiving and decoying them. The deletion gives an effect to the message
commit to user
McDuck‟s laugh is only a happy expression because he can finally get the
stamp.
Example 1: ST: Aaargh!
TT: -
(Datum 166-S3)
“Aaargh” is a primary interjection expressed by Donald when he is failed
to hold on to the rock, then he falls into the pool. This interjection is an
expression of afraid feeling by Donald because he will fall from high
position. Actually, target language also has this kind of expression that is
expressed by using vocal sound such as “aaaaa” as a screaming. In fact,
the translator prefers to delete this expression. The deletion opens to
misinterpretation for the target reader. The reader can assume that Donald
feels happy because he can put the piece of rock from the biggest one.
When he put the piece of rock, his mouth and his eyes open widely. It

1.6. Addition
Additional of element is used by the translator to give additional
information in the target text.
Example 1:
ST: Lions!
TT: Gerombolan Singa!
(Datum 313-S5)
Suffixes –s in the above example is identified as a plural noun indicating
that there are more than one lions in the context. Since there is difference
of language system of plural noun between the source language and the
target language, the translator gives additional information in this datum.
He adds information “gerombolan” in this example to explain the suffixes

surprise feeling of Donald when he sees a group of lions.
Example 2:

TT: Anjing bulldog!.
(Datum 019-S1)
“Bulldog” is a small dog that can be frightening and has a
muscular body, short legs and a large square-shaped face. It is originally
coming from English (Ibid). To avoid confusing in the target language
reader, the translator gives addition information in this datum. He adds
“anjing” to make the target reader easy to recorgnize that it is a kind of
dog. Moreover, the target reader can easily understand the emotion
expressed by the speaker. This interjection is conveyed by Donald‟s
nephews when they know that there is an angry bulldog behind them. This

into the TL which presents implicitly in the SL, but it can be derived from
the context or the situation
Example 1: ST: A gooey one!
TT: Monster lengket!

into explicit information in the target language by explaining the meaning
of “one”. He translates “one” into “monster” to show to the target reader

not feel afraid of their snake, they are leaving Donald alone with the
snake. Then Donald tries to call them back because they left their snake.

Example 1:
ST: Gearloose! This is a calamity! I need a metal deterctor and I need it now!

Indonesia. In the context, Mr. McDuck feels worried about his loosing
dime, and he comes quickly to Gearloose‟s house to get help. When he
arrived at Gearloose‟s house, he called loudly Gearloose to get
Gearloose‟s attention quickly. Recreation technique is applied by the
translator in the interjection of name above to make the target readers easy

interjection into the closest correspondent letters of a different target
alphabet. In other words, this technique occurs when interjection is
translated or adapted at the level of morphology, phonology, grammar, etc.

1.10. Couplet Technique
Couplet is the application of two or more translation technique in
one unit. Here, the translator combined more than one technique to
translate interjection.
Example 1:
ST: Mr. Mcduck! I just found your lucky dime! It was on the floor by your desk!
TT: Tuan gober! Aku baru saja menemukan Keping Keberuntungan Tuan! Keping itu ada di lantai di samping meja Tuan!
commit to user
This example can be categorized as couplet technique because there are
two techniques applied in this interjection, literal and recreation. First, the
translator uses literal technique to translate “Mr.” into “Tuan”.
Furthermore, the translator uses recreation technique to translate
“Mcduck” into “gober”. This name is translated by using recreation
technique because it is not a straightforward rendition of the name, which
would be “Anak Bebek”. Mc- is a suffix that has meaning of “son of”. It
deviates a bit too much from the original meaning because the translator
prefers to adapt the names of McDuck from Dutch that is “Dagobert
Duck” (Wikipedia.org). This name is secondary interjection of noun
whose function to call Mr. McDuck, and it also used by a woman to
express her happiness because she can find McDuck‟s lucky dime.
Example 2:
ST: Unca Donald! Watch out! TT: Paman Donal! Awas!
(Datum 053-S1)
Firstly, the translator applies literal technique in this example. He
translates “Unca” coming from the word “uncle”. Since the children slip

translated into “paman” in Indonesia. Then, he translates the word
“Donald” into “Donal” employing transcription technique by using loan
word of source language and deleting “d” alphabets to create the same
pronunciation.

The interjections are reproduced in the translated text exactly as
they appear in the source text. Some examples of borrowing interjections
are displayed below.
Example 1:
ST: Brr! All these empty buildings are spooky!
TT: Brr! Semua bangunan kosong ini menyeramkan!
(Datum 387-S7)
It is an example of translation using borrowing technique. The translator
borrows purely the source text interjection into the target text without any
change. In the context, “bbr” is used to express scared feeling felt by one
of the three children when seeing many empty buildings around him, while
“brr” in the target language is an expression of feeling cold.
Consequently, applying purely borrowing technique of the interjection
without considering about speaker‟s intention and context situation can
make the meaning of the interjection innacurately conveyed into target
language. Although, source language and target language have interjection
of “bbr” which their form and their pronunciation are the same, the

ST: Pfft! TT: Pfft!
(Datum 042-S1)
“Pfft!” is used by Donald to answer his nephew‟s question. This
interjection is used to make his nephew calm. By using this interjection,
Donald also asked them not to worry about him. The translator borrows
purely this interjection from the source text into the target text in which
this interjection is very difficult to pronounce in phonological system of
the target language. Consequently, the meaning of this interjection cannot

Three raters who are coded as R1, R2, and R3 had assessed the
questionnaire. They were asked to ascertain the level of accuracy and naturalness
by giving score on it based on the scale which has been determined before. They
were also assigned to give comment or suggestion when it is necessary.
The questionnaire to assess the accuracy of interjections translation uses
the scale and the definition as follows:

not so accurately translated in the target text. The translation still
emerges distortion and ambiguity in meaning. The expression,

transferred inaccurately or deleted in the target text. The expression,
description and context of situation of interjection in the bilingual
comic of The Best Donald Duck Comic 15th Edition cannot be
conveyed by the translation of interjection in the target language.
After a detail calculation, the data were classified into three categories as shown
below:
Classification A: The interjection translation is accurate. It contains data with the
range from 2.5 to 3.0
Classification B: The interjection translation is less accurate. It contains data with
the range from 1.6 to 2.4
Classification C: The interjection translation is inaccurate. It contains data with
the range from 1.0 to 1.5
From table 4.14., we can see that 326 data are translated accurately into
the target language, 13 data are translated less accurately into the target
language, and 163 data are translated inaccurately into the target language.
The average scale for the accuracy of the interjections translation is 2.28.
It means that most interjections in the bilingual comic of Donald Duck are

This classification contains of 326 data which are translated accurately into
the target language. The definition of accurate here is the meaning and speaker‟s
intention of interjection in the bilingual comic of The Best Donald Duck Comic
15th Edition are accurately transferred into the target text. The expression,
description and context of situation of interjection in the bilingual comic of The
Best Donald Duck Comic 15th Edition can be conveyed by the translation. Two examples of the data belonging to this classification are as follows:
Example 1:
ST: My ball‟s gonna get smushed! Sob!
TT: Bolaku akan hancur gepeng! Hiks!
(Datum 039-S1)
The word “sob” is an interjection used “to cry noisily or to take in deep breath”
(Cambridge Dictionary). The interjection is used by the child in the comic to
express his afraid and sad feeling because his ball will be smashed and he thinks
that he will lose the ball. The interjection is translated into “hiks” which is an
imitation of crying in the target language. It means that the translation is
accurately transferred into target text because the translator can convey two
meanings, afraid and sad feeling, of the interjection from the source text into the
target text. The translator is also clearly describing the speaker‟s expression in the
source text into the target text by using the translation. This analysis is supported
by the three raters assessment which is this datum is included into accurate

Donald‟s nephew wearing a blue hat looks at his brothers having tried to reach the
edge of the gorge, but they always fail. He just realizes that the ladder used by
them is too short. The expression of “oh no!” is used to express his shock about
the situation. Then, the translator translates it into “waduh” meaning “kata seru
untuk menyatakan heran, kagum, terkejut, dsb” (KBBI). It means that the word “waduh” in the target language has function to express a sudden situation that is
unexpected before or shock feeling. The translation is accurate since both the

This classification contains of 13 data which are translated less accurately
into the target language. Less accurate translation is defined as the meaning and
speaker‟s intention of interjection in the bilingual comic of The Best Donald Duck
Comic 15th Edition are not so accurately translated to the target text. The
translation still emerges distortion and ambiguity in meaning. The expression,
description and context of situation of the interjection in the bilingual comic of
The Best Donald Duck Comic 15th Edition cannot really be conveyed by the translation. Here are the examples of the data belonging to this classification:
Example 1:
ST: Well, then… why haven‟t you hand it over?
TT: Lalu… Kenapa kamu belum mengantarkannya padaku?
commit to user
In the example above, the interjection “well, then…” is translated into “lalu” in
the target text. The reason is that the meaning of “lalu” in the target text has
represented the meaning of “well” and “then” to start conversation for asking
question from someone unknown, although the deletion makes the strong emotion
of the interjection cannot be expressed by the translation. The word “well” which
indicates the disappointed and angry feeling of Mickey because someone has
taken a letter from Mickey‟s hand and do not return it back to Mickey. As the
result, the target reader assumes that there is no emotion conveyed by Mickey in
this conversation and makes the translation of the interjection to be less accurate
translation.
Example 2:
ST: Aw, shucks!
TT: Ah!
(Datum 030-S1)
Aw, shucks! is “the modest in homespun way” (Encarta Dictionary) to show that
commit to user
situation , “aw shuck” is used by Donald to express shy and disappointed feeling
toward the bad men whom had tried to disturb him at the same time. The
interjection above is translated into “ah!” in the target text which cannot totally
express the meanings of the interjection. The word “ah” is “kata seru yg
menyatakan perasaan kecewa, menyesal, keheranan, tidak setuju” (KBBI). It
means that the translation is less accurately translated into target language because
the word “ah” in target text only can represent a meaning of disappointed, but it
cannot transfer the meaning of shy feeling of the source text into target text at the
same time.
1.3. Classification C
This classification contains of 163 data which are translated inaccurately into
the target language. The definition of inaccurate here is that the translation
cannot convey the message in the source text into the target text well due to
mistranslation done by the translator. There are two examples of the data

ST: Arrrgh!

“Arrrgh” is a scream expressed by Donald when he steps his foot in the tale of a
cat. He feels surprise because of the scream made by the cat. At the same time,
Donald is hiding from the men wanting to get the stamp hold by Donald. It means
that Donald uses the interjection above to express surprise and afraid feeling at the
same time. Unfortunately, the translator deleted this datum in the target text which
makes the translation to be inaccurate. This interjection can be translated into
“aaaa….” having the same pronunciation and meaning but they have different
spelling.
