ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini berhubungan dengan analisis terha dap ideologi penerjemahan da n kualitas terjemahan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi ideologi penerjemahan; 2) mengetahui bagaimana terjadinya metode penerjemahan dari teks sumber ke teks sasa ran; dan 3) menilai pengaruh ideologi penerjemaha n terhadap kualitas terjemahan buku The 8th Habit ―Melampaui Efektifitas,
Menggapai Keagungan‖ yang diterjemahkan oleh Wandi S. Brata. Jenis
penelitian ini adalah kualitatif-deskriptif yang berfokus pada analisis produk terjemahan. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah teks buku, informan, dan catatan wa wancara da ri informan kunci dan responden. Data terdiri dari kata, frasa, klausa dan kalimat dikumpulkan denga n teknik purposive sampling. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah teks Bab 5 dari The 8th Habit ―Melampaui Efektifitas, Menggapai Keagungan‖ dan versi bahasa Inggrisnya Chapter 5 of The 8th Habit - From Effectiveness to Greatness oleh Stephen R. Covey. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner untuk mengetahui kualitas penerjemahan yang dikelompokkan ke dalam 3 kategori, yaitu Keakuratan, Keberterimaan, dan Keterbacaan. Informan kunci dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari linguis, penerjemah berpengalaman, praktisi bisnis, dan mahasiswa fakultas Ekonomi. Data penelitian berjumlah 430 pasang data (bahasa Inggris dan baha sa Indonesia). Hasil analisis menunjukkan ada sembilan teknik penerjemahan yang digunakan. Kesembilan teknik tersebut berikut frekuensinya adalah sebagai berikut: teknik ha ra fiah (181), teknik penambahan (105), teknik penghilangan (33), teknik borrowing (32), teknik modulasi (27), teknik transposisi (24), Ekivalensi (21), calque (5), dan adaptasi (2). Seca ra teoretis, tiga da ri teknik penerjemahan (harfiah, borrowing, dan calque) berorienta si pada teks sumber, sementara kelima lainnya (penambahan, penghilangan, modulasi, transposisi, ekivalensi dan adaptasi) berorientasi pada teks sa saran. Selanjutnya, teknik penerjemahan yang berorienta si pada teks sumber disebut sebagai ideologi foreinisasi, sedangkan yang berorienta si pada teks sasaran disebut sebagai ideologi domestikasi. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan proporsi anta ra foreinisasi dan domestikasi ma sing-masing 50.70% dan 49.30%. Sementara hasil dari penilaian kualitas terjemahan menunjukka n rata-rata tingkat keakuratan terjemahan adalah 86.51%, tingkat keberterimaan terjemahan 94.15%, dan tingkat keterbacaan sebesar 95.58%. Maka sehubunga n dengan kualitas penerjemahan dapat disimpulka n bahwa ideologi, metode, dan teknik penerjemahan merupakan aspek yang saling berkaitan dala m menentukan keakuratan, keberterimaan dan keterbacaan suatu hasil terjemahan.
ABSTRACT
This research deals with the investigation of the influence of translation ideology on translation quality. The objectives of this study are: 1) to find out the translation ideology; 2) to find out the realization of translation method from source text to target text; 3) to assess the influence of translation ideology on translation quality of Bab 5 - The 8th Habit ―Melampaui Efektifitas, Menggapai Keagungan‖. The type of this study is descriptive-qualitative that focuses on translation product analysis. The source of data are text-books, informants, and interview of key informants and respondent. The collecting of data that consist of word, phrase, clause and sentence was done with purposive sampling technique. The sampling of this study are text of Chapter 5 of The 8th Habit - From Effectiveness to Greatness by Stephen R. Covey and its translation version in
Bahasa Indonesia: Bab 5 - The 8th Habit ―Melampaui Efektifitas, Menggapai Keagungan‖. The collecting of data used questionnaire to find out the translation quality which was measured into 3 categories, namely Accuracy, Acceptability and Readability of translation. The key informants are linguist, translation experts, business practitioner and Economics‘ students. The sample of the study is 430 data pairs of both text (English and Indonesian). The finding showed nine translation techniques identified in this study. Those techniques and its frequency are as follows: Literal (181), Addition (105), Omission (33), Borrowing (32), Modulation (27), Transposition (24), Equivalence (21), Calque (5), and Adaptation (2). Theoretically, three of these techniques (literal, borrowing and
calque) are oriented to source text while the rest (Addition, Omission, Modulation, Transposition, Equivalence, and Adaptation) are oriented to target text. Further, techniques that oriented or tend to source text is referred to foreignization, while the techniques that oriented to target text is referred to domestication.The finding revealed that the proportion both foreignization and domestication respectively 50.70% and 49.30%. The result of translation quality showed that the average of translation accuracy is 86.51%, acceptability 94.19% and readability 95.58%. Thus, overally the translation ideology, method, and techniques are intertwine aspects that influence the translation quality. Those aspect contributed to accuracy, acceptability and readibility of translation product.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Alhamdulillah hirobbil alamin. Finally I could finish my dissertation. First
of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and prays to Allah SWT, the
Almighty and The Most Mercifull, for all blessings and graces, without which I
would have never finished this dissertation.
I also express my deep gratitude to Acting Rector of the University of
Sumatera Utara, Prof. Subhilhar, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of
Sumatera Utara, Medan; the Former Rector of USU Prof. Dr. Syahril Pasaribu,
DTM&H, M.Sc (CTM), Sp.A(K); and Prof. Dr. Erman Munir, M.Sc.,Ph.D the
Director of Graduate School, University of Sumatera Utara who gave me the
opportunity to continue my study at the Linguistic Study Program.
During the dissertation research at the Department of Lingustics Faculty of
Humanity, Postgraduate Program at the University of Sumatera Utara (USU),
Medan, I have really been fortunate to have Prof. T. Silvana Sinar, MA, Ph.D as
my supervisor for her encouragement along the progress of my dissertation. She
wisely counseled me not to attempt a broader analysis of all aspects of the data
from multiple source texts, but to limit myself to analise several examples of
representative, strong data. Her relentless help is unforgetable and worthy.
On this occasion I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr.
Syahron Lubis, MA for his valuable comments, which offered great help for the
improvement of my work, and Dr. Muhizar Muchtar, MS who suggested to read
articles on translation studies in addition to the books on translation studies. The
articles provided me with important information to resolve the problems in my
dissertation research. Dr. Eddy Setia, M.Ed, TESP who gave me guidance to do
the research in a detailed, critical, and deeply insightful manner. As well as to my
examiners: Prof. Dr. Busmin Gurning, M.Pd, Prof. Amrin Saragih, Dr. Roswita
Silalahi, M.Hum for their valuable insight that contribute to completion of this
Moreover, I‘m deeply indebted to the head of the Department of Linguistics,
Post Graduate Studies at USU, Prof. Tengku Silvana Sinar, MA, Ph.D for her
contribution of knowledge, time and encouragement, as well as arranging the
―Sandwich-like‖ Program 2011 that I attended at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. The insightful advice was given by Prof. T. Bell, Ph.D
and Prof. Zubaidah Ibrahim Bell who were the translation lecturers of the writer,
and Prof. Christian Matthissen, as the researcher‘s Sandwich Program 2011 Advisor for his helping with consultation during the researcher‘s Sandwich Like
Program.
I feel really grateful to the members of the committee of Penelitian
Disertasi Doktor Tahun 2015 who gave me financial support to finish my
dissertation. Also to all the other members of The Department of Linguistics,
Faculty of Humanity, Postgratduate Program at the University of Sumatera Utara
(USU), with whom I‘ve had the opportunity to interact in the last four years. My
sincere thanks to my classmates such as Milisi Sembiring, Yulia Arfanti, Martha
Pardede, Erika Sinambela, Sutarno, Marzaini Manday, Nuzwaty.
Finally, I want to thank my parents Alm. Maclum Siregar and Basrah
