I. Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the study, setting the stage for the research that follows. It outlines the background, problem formulation, objectives, and definition of terms, all of which are crucial for understanding the research context and its significance.
1.1. Background of the Study
This section introduces the topic of translation, particularly the complexities involved in translating literary texts. It highlights the importance of understanding the translator’s mental processes and the challenges they face in achieving equivalence between source and target languages. It also emphasizes the value of think-aloud protocol (TAP) and screen recording methods (SRM) as tools for reconstructing the translation process and gaining insights into problem-solving strategies.
1.2. Problem Formulation
This section presents the research questions that guide the study. It focuses on identifying the specific translation problems encountered when translating a literary text and exploring the solutions employed by translators. These questions provide a clear framework for the research investigation.
1.3. Objectives of the Study
This section outlines the specific goals of the study, which are directly aligned with the research questions. It clarifies the purpose of the study: to observe and analyze the translation problems encountered and the problem-solving strategies employed by the participants. The objectives highlight the focus on both the process and the product of translation.
1.4. Definition of Terms
