TRANSLATION OF INDONESIAN COMPLEX SENTENCES WITH CONCESSIVE CLAUSES IN THE NOVEL
9 SUMMERS 10 AUTUMNS: DARI KOTA APEL KE THE BIG APPLE
ABSTRACT
This thesis presents the analysis on the translation of Indonesian complex sentences with concessive clauses found in the novel 9 Summers 10 Autumns: dari Kota Apel ke The Big Apple and in its English translation entitled 9 Summers 10 Autumns: from the City of Apples to The Big Apple. The analysis is conducted in order to cope with its three formulated problems. First, identifying how the Indonesian complex sentences with concessive clauses are translated into English. Secondly, the analysis is conducted in order to investigate what the translation procedures utilized by the translator and the third problem is to explain how the loss and gain of information occur in the translation process. Theory by Thomson and Martinet combined with the theory by Larson are utilized in responding to the first question. Meanwhile, the theory proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti) combined with the theory by Newmark are utilized in coping with the second problem. The last problem is analyzed by utilizing the theory from Nida.
Qualitative approach is utilized in conducting the entire analysis of this study. Meanwhile, the method of collecting the data in this study is observation method combined with the note-taking technique in order to collect the relevant data. The analysis is qualitatively described primarily referring to the formulated problems of the study and the theoretical framework being utilized. Furthermore, two methods are applied together in presenting the finding of this study, they are formal and informal methods.
Finding of the research shows that there are 30 Indonesian complex sentences with concessive clauses collected and they are translated into English complex sentences with concessive clauses by utilizing varied subordinating conjunctions. As the second finding of the research, it is investigated that literal translation, transposition, modulation and equivalence are the translation procedures applied in the translation process. As the third finding, it is found that the occurrences of loss and gain of information are inevitable in translation works. Gain of information is mostly realized as the explicitation of the Source Language text in the process of translation. Meanwhile, loss is as a result of the cultural and linguistic disparities that occur between text in the Source Language and the Target Language.

TERJEMAHAN KALIMAT KOMPLEKS BAHASA INDONESIA YANG MENGANDUNG KLAUSA KONSESIF PADA NOVEL
9 SUMMERS 10 AUTUMNS: DARI KOTA APEL KE THE BIG APPLE
ABSTRAK
Thesis ini membahas mengenai terjemahan kalimat kompleks bahasa Indonesia yang mengandung klausa konsesif pada novel 9 Summers 10 Autumns: dari Kota Apel ke The Big Apple serta terjemahannya dalam bahasa Inggris dengan judul 9 Summers 10 Autumns: from the City of Apples to The Big Apple. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memecahkan tiga permasalahan yang berhasil dirumuskan. Pertama, mengidentifikasi terjemahan kalimat kompleks bahasa Indonesia yang mengandung klausa konsesif ke dalam bahasa Inggris. Kedua, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi prosedur penerjemahan yang diaplikasikan oleh penerjemah serta permasalahan ketiga adalah untuk memahami proses terjadinya loss dan gain of information. Teori dari Thomson dan Martinet dikombinasikan dengan teori dari Larson untuk memecahkan permasalahan pertama. Teori dari Vinay dan Darbelnet (pada Venuti) beserta teori dari Newmark diaplikasikan untuk memecahkan permasalahan kedua. Permasalahan ketiga dianalisis dengan mempergunakan teori dari Nida.
Pendekatan secara kualitatif dilakukan dalam proses penelitian ini. Metode yang diaplikasikan dalam proses pengumpulan data adalah metode observasi serta teknik catat. Proses pengkajiannya sendiri mengacu pada cakupan permasalahan serta kerangka berpikir yang dirumuskan. Dua metode diterapkan dalam menyajikan hasil penelitian, yakni metode formal dan metode informal.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan 30 kalimat kompleks bahasa Indonesia yang mengandung klausa konsesif seluruhnya diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris dengan bentuk konstruksi yang sama, yakni menggunakan klausa konsesif. Temuan yang kedua menunjukkan bahwa literal translation, transposition,
modulation dan equivalence merupakan prosedur yang diaplikasikan dalam proses penerjemahan. Temuan ketiga mengenai loss dan gain of information, kedua hal ini tidak dapat dihindari dalam setiap proses penerjemahan. Gain of information
dipahami sebagai tambahan (explicitation) terhadap teks di bahasa sumber. Loss of information merupakan hasil dari terdapatnya disparitas atau perbedaan secara budaya dan ilmu bahasa antara teks di bahasa sumber dengan teks di bahasa target.
