equivalence and readability. There were 25 samples chosen to be assessed in the equivalence and readability questionnaires. Equivalence questionnaires
were distributed to three respondents the respondents should mastered both English and Bahasa Indonesia and readability questionnaires were distributed
to ten respondents the respondents came from different range of ages, and should not understand English. The respondents were chosen based on their
ages, starting from 18-46 years old. This range of age is based on the criteria of the readers of Nicholas Sparks‟s Safe Haven which is from late teenage until
adult. The background of the respondents are vary such as students and workers.
2. Data Collection
The researcher read and reread the original book to understand the content of the book. Then, the researcher identified the DMs on the original book. After
that the researcher reread the original book to make sure all the DMs had been identified.
All the DMs in the ST that had been identified were typed. The researcher gave code to each datum. The code consisted of the number of the datum and the
page where the datum was found. After that, the researcher found the translation of those DMs in the translation book. The researcher typed all the translation of
the DMs in the column on the right side of ST data and gave code to each datum. The code given to the data of the translation of DMs had the same format as the
code given to each data in the ST. The data will be arraged in the table as follows:
No Data
Source Text No
Data Target Text

I had a bad experience once, Katie said. Dating a
guy from work, I mean. Since then, Ive kind of made

REP Aku pernah punya
pengalaman buruk, kata Katie. Maksudku, berkencan
dengan cowok teman kerjaku. Sejak itu, sudah jadi prinsipku
untuk tidak melakukannya lagi.
Table 3.1. Table of Example of Data Collection
The code on the Source Text meant it was the datum number 1 and it was found on page 5 on the original book. Meanwhile the code on the Target Text
meant it was the data number 1 and it was found on page 18 on the translation book.
3. Population and Sample
The populations of this study were discourse markers found in Nicholas Sparks‟ Save Haven. The total population of the data in this novel was 157 data.
The population was divided into 7 functions of DM which were discourse connector, confirmation-seekers, intimacy-signals, topic-switchers, hesitation
markersfillers, repair markers, and attitude markers. Samples were taken for the questionnaires since the data are many. Purposive sampling was done in order to
get at least one datum for each function of DMs. The samples were taken using some steps, those were found out the DMs that were included in that function,
analyzed the translations of those DMs, chose at least one datum of each function and put it on the questionnaires. The researcher got 25 total samples for both
equivalence and readability assessment; 13 samples of DMs as discourse
