ABSTRACT
This thesis entitled Translation Procedures in the Tale Teller Book ' The Grouchy Giant ' . This thesis analyzes the story of the translation of a book written by two languages ( bilingual book ) . Data were analyzed by using the theory of translation by Vinay and Darbelnet . This theory divides the translation method into two parts : ( 1 ) literal translation or direct translation and ( 2 ) oblique translation which are further subdivided in an advanced seven- part procedure known as : ( a) borrowing , ( b ) calque , ( c ) the literal translation , ( d ) transposition , ( e ) modulation , ( f ) equivalent and ( g ) adaptation . The research method used is descriptive qualitative method . Sources of data in this study is a tale teller book is The Grouchy Giant . The data in this study is every sentence written in the English language ( SL ) and translated into Indonesian ( TL ) . The data collection method used was flawed methods and data were analyzed by purposive sampling . From the analysis, the writer found the characteristics of literal translation ( literal translation or direct translation ) and the compulsory translation ( oblique translation ) . The procedures are applied in 165 sentences: literal translation procedures apllied in 58 sentences (35,1%), none of borrowing procedures (0%), none of calque procedures (0%), transposition procedures applied in 21 sentences (12,69%), modulation procedures applied in 69 sentences (41,8%), equivalence procedures applied in 11 sentences (6,67%), and adaptation procedures applied in 6 sentences (3,63%).

CHAPTER I
1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Many people think that translation is not easy to do, because in translation there are many processes and methods. Today translation has become very significant in our daily life, not only in paperwork,documents, but also in household products,and the instruction manual for a vacuum cleaner. Translation is very important in order to understand message or knowledge found in the source language. Translation has many methods. So, in translating the translator may uses prodecures that differ in importance according to contextual factors of both of the source language (SL) and target language (TL).
Newmark (as quoted by Machali 1998:1) defines translation as a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and statement in one language by that same message and statement in another language. Nida (1969:12) states that translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language that natural equivalent of the source language message, first in term of meaning and second in term of style.
Translation has many procedures or methods. So, in translating the translator may uses procedures that differ in importance according to contextual factors of both of the source language and target language. Newmark (1988:81) mentions the difference between translation method and translation procedures. He writes that, while translation methods relate to whole texts,translation procedures are used for sentences and the smaller unit of language.
In contrast to translation strategies (the translators’ global approach or plan of action on a given text, according to their intention), translation procedures are used for sentences and smaller units of language within that text. Translation procedures are methods applied by translators when they formulate an equivalence for the purpose of transferring elements of meaning from the Source Text (ST) to the Target Text (TT)
Vinay and Darbelnet in Venuti (2000: 84-93) mention that the method of translation can be divided into two covering procedures, they are (a) literal or direct translation; consists of Borrowing, Calque, and Literal translation, and (b) oblique
(14)
Literal or direct translation procedures are used when structural and conceptual elements of the source language can be transposed into the target language. Sentences have literal meanings. The literal meaning of a sentence is entirely determined by the meanings of its component words (or mor- phemes) and the syntactical rules according to which these elements are combined. A sentence may have more than one literal meaning (ambiguity) or its literal meaning may be defective or uninterpretable (nonsense).
Direct or literal translation “is the direct transfer of a SL text into a grammatically and idiomatically appropriate TL text in which the translator’s task is limited to observing the adherence to the linguistic servitudes of the TL” (Venuti 86). This naturally means that the translator has to operate within certain limits and is not free to appropriate the language to suit his/her ends. When does a direct translation fail? According to Vinay and Darbelnet it fails hen the TL translation fails to convey anything meaningful for various reasons. It might not have the exact structural equivalent or migt not have a corresponding expression. Idioms are the best examples of this. “It is raining cats and dogs” in English cannot be translated literally into Hindi or most Indian languages, for that matter.
In cases like these the translator will have to resort to oblique translation. Here the translator has to fall back on “identity of situations” or aim for an approximately accurate replication of the impact of the SL text. Vinay and Darbelnet are of the vie that the translator has to keep in mind the totality of the message that is to be communicated and exercise her/his judgement in the method of translation. A translator might sometimes choose to borrow a certain expression or saying from one language. This results in hat is termed in lingustics as calque, or a literal, word-for-word translation. However, Vinay and Darbelnet caution: “But the responbility of introducing such calques into a perfectly organized language should not fall upon the shoulders of translators: only writers can take such liberties, and they alone should take credit or blame for success or failure”. (“ A Methodology for Translation”,90). Ultimately, they point out, it is the message alone that can help us to judge if the translation has attained equivalence.
Literal or direct translation procedures are used when structural and conceptual elements of the source language can be transposed into the target language. Literal translation refers to a translation technique that can be used when the languages involved
(15)
share parallel structures and concepts; not to a translation made word for word : Literal translation carries the imprint of the original. This technique is used when it is possible to transpose the source language (SL) message element into the target language (TL) and obtain a text that is idiomatic. For example, all the geese which is translated into semua angsa, it is example of literal translation procedure because the direct transfer of source language text into a grammatically and idiomatically target text.
Oblique translation procedures are used when the structural or conceptual elements of the source language cannot be directly translated without altering meaning or upsetting the grammatical and stylistics elements of the target language. This strategy can also be found within a language, ‘I give him a kiss’ is semantically no difference from ‘I kiss him’though the word ‘kiss’ is changed from a noun into a verb. According to Vinay and Darbelnet, the first expression canbe called the base expression, while the converted form of ‘kiss’ as a verb is called the transposed expression. As a result of the divergence of language systems between SL and TT, this strategy to altering words without semantic change is undertaken probably most common and even sometime necessarily by translators. From a stylistic point of view these words are of different value in TL, and translators will face the possibility of changing the genre of the translation text. For the example, crocodiles and cranes which are translated into buaya dan burung bangau, it is the example of transposition, because replacing one word class with another changing the meaning of the message.
Learning in a different language, we saw the importance of translation. On a serious note, translation is one of the most critical jobs in modern society. As the whole globe is coming together based on information sharing and communicative advances, it is only natural that there has been a constant demand and an unprecedented need for translation of ideas from one language to another. Translation plays a vital role in the performance of international companies and governments alike. Translation is no longer just the process the translating words, but has evolved into the transformation of meaning and intentions. In other words, the translation help us very musch for studying as read a book, newspaper by a different language.
Nowadays, many people are doing translation, for example translating kid’s story book such as the tale tellers. In some cases, some tale books are written in two languages
(16)
such as in Bahasa Indonesia and English. It happens in order to make people understand or follow the story especially for those who cannot inderstand English. Besides that the translator wants the message in the Source Language (English) can be transferred clearly in Target Language (Bahasa Indonesia). So, there is no miss communication in transferring the message.Through a mixture of storytelling and theatre, The Tale Teller creates entertaining and interactive story shows in English for all ages. The language used in this book is not very difficult to understand.
The Tale Teller is a narrative that relates the details of some real or imaginary event, incident, or case; story. The language used in this book is not very difficult to understand. However, tha translator should match the meaning of words from Source Language to the Target Language, because there are many differences in meaning of a word of culture between the Source Language and the Target Language.
Like most of art’s types, the distinctive feature of a story is different, depending on the author. The writer choose The Grouchy Giant because the story implies a moral or profound meaning. This book inclines not too complex if it is compared with a novel. Usually tale teller has the total of a limited character, and includes the short of period of time. Tale teller shows us something that is universal by remaining the variety. The Grouchy Giant also shows clumsiness in the structure and plianey in the expression and puts forward one of the cultural aspects.
After reading Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation theory and tale teller book that are written in bilingual, the sources of data in writing this thesis, the witer is interested in analyzing and finding the translation procedures found in tale teller book to see whether the translation of tale teller book applied Vinay and Darbelnet’s theory of translation procedures mentioned above or not.
1.2
PROBLEMS OF THE STUDY
Based on the background above, the writer has some problem to discuss,they are : a. What are the classification of translation procedures found in the target text? b. What are the most dominant of translation procedures found in the target text?
(17)
1.3
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the analysis as the answers of the problems above can be described as follows:
a. to find out the classification of translation procedures found in the target text. b. to find out the dominant of translation procedures found in the target text.
1.4
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In translation there are many aspects that can be discussed, such as translation equivalent, translation shift, and translation procedures. But in this thesis, the writer focuses on analyzing characteristics of Literal and Oblique translation found in tale teller’s book ( The Grouchy Giant) by using some text book to get the most dominant translation procedure.
1.5
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
There are theoretical and practical significances of the analysis that can be taken from this thesis. Theoretically, this thesis can be used for readers especially the students of Englis Department to expand their knowledge about translation. Practically, this thesis can be used by translator in practicing the translation and also as the reference in Foreign Language Teaching.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1. Translation Theory
Translation theory is not a solution for all problems that appear in the process of translation. It is general orientation for the translators in taking a decision while they are doing translation. Actually, the understanding about general concept of translation theory is very important and useful for the translators. So, it is impossible for the translators to get a good translation without understanding the meaning or definition of translation, because translation is a general concept of translation theory.
Nababan (1999:13) states, “Teori menerjemahkan memusatkan perhatiannya pada katarestik dan masalah-masalah penerjemahan sebagai suatu penomena. “Translation’s theory is concentrating the attention to the charateristics and the problems of translation as a pehenomenon.”. Lauven-Zart (as quoted by Nababan 1999:15) says, “Menghasilkan penerjemah dan terjemahan yang lebih baik mungkin saja merupakan produk teori dan metode penerjemahan.” “To produce the translators and translations are not the first purpose of translation theory. The better translators and translations may be as a product of theory and translation’s method”.
In a narrow sense, translation theory is concerned with the translation method appropriately used for a certain type of the text. However, in a wider sense, translation theory is the body of knowledge that we have about translating, extending from general principles to guidelines, suggestions and hints.
Newmark (1988:9) says, :what translation theory does is, first ,to identify a translation problem (no problem – no translation theory!); second to indicate all the actors that have to be taken into account in solving the problem; third, to list all the possible translation procedures, plus the appropriate translation.” Besides that, translation theory is pointless and sterile if it does not arise from the problems of translation practice, from the need to stand back and reflect, to consider all the factors, within the text and outside it, before coming into a decision in fact translating (or translation process) is a
(19)
matter of taking decisions. Because translation has to do ith grammatical rules, it is a science.
The emphasis of the structural approach to translation changes towards the end of the 1950s with the work of Vinay and Darbelnet. Vinay and Darbelnet in Venuti (2000:84) identify two procedures of translating, the first procedure id direct or literal translation and the second procedure is oblique translation. Literal translation occurs when there is an exact structural, lexical, and even morphological equivalence between to languages. According to Vinay and Darbelnet, this is only possible when the two languages are very close two each other. The literal translation (direct) procedures are borrowing, calque, and literal translation. While oblique translation occurs when word for word translation is impossible. The oblique procedures are transposition, modulation, equivalence and adaption.
Kelly (as quoted by Venuti 2000:4) argues, “a complete theory of translation has three components: specicfication of function and goal; description and analysis of operations.” On the other hand Venuti (2000:5) says, “translation theory alays rests on particular assumption about language use, even if they are no ore than fragmentary hypothesis that remain implicit or unacknowledged.”
2.1.1 The Definition of Translation
Translation has been defined in many ways by different writers in the field depending on how they view language and translation. Generally, translation is known as a process of transferring a language to another. Cartford (1969:20) defines translation is the replacement of textual in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL). Newmark (1988:5) also gives the same definition about translation. He defines translation is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the ay that the author intended the text. According to Larson (1997:10) translation in the transfer of meaning in the source language text into the target text, this is done by replacing the form of the first language by the form of the second language. The meaning itself is maintained as the form may be adjusted by transferring the meaning of SL text by the use of very natural forms in the TL. Krisdaleksana (as quoted by Nababan 1999:19) says, “penerjemahan sebagai pemindahan suatu amanat dari bahasa sumber ke dalam bahasa
(20)
sasaran dengan pertama-tama mengungkapkan maknanya dan kemudian gaya bahasanya.” (Translation as transferring a message from Source Language to the target Language by firstly expresses the meaning and then the style of language).
On the other hand, Nida (1969:12) states, “translation consists in reproducing un the receptor language that natural equivalent of the source language message, first in term of meaning and second in term of style”. Translation can be simply defined as transferring the message from the source language (SL) into the Receptor Language (RL), both in terms of meaning and style. So the ideal translation should make sense and be easily understood by thee target readers. However, the message in the TL should be equivalent with that in the SL.
Newmark (as quoted by Machali 1998:1) adds that translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and statement in one language by that same message and statement in another language. While Pinchuk (1977:38) says, “translation is a process of finding a TL equivalent for an SL utterance. Carford (as quoted by Nababan 1999:19) also defines translation is a process of changing a Source Language Text to the Target Langauge Text.
All the definitions above are a little closely, related all definition imply that translation involves to languages; they are Source Language (SL) and Target Language (TL). So, translation is a process of transferring the message, meaning, statement, utterance of the SL to the TL, and his product of translation is the author’s meant. So, by translation a translator re-tell about the text into another language.
Catford, Nida, Newmark, Mcguire and Pinhuct in Machali (1998) propose different definition of translation but their definitions share three commons motions namely:
1. the term equivalent “which is used by Catford (1969:12) and Pinchuck (1980:2) for them, the use of the term is “similar:
2. the terms “textual material” or text”, which are used by Catford and McGuire, while Newmark uses the term “written message” and Nida “SL message”
3. the term “replacement” is used by Catford and Newmark, while Nida uses the term “reproducing” for the same concept.
(21)
2.1.2 Translation as a Process
Translation is not only about changing a SL to TL. It is not writing his ons thinking, how best it is, and it is not to re-write only. Besides understanding what the translation is and what should be procedure in translation, a translator should know that translation is complex; there are processes which contains of a bunch activities elements. Nababan (1999:24) defines proses adalah serangkaian kegiatan yang dilakukan dengan sengaja. (Process is a bunch of activities that doing in a …). Machali (2000:9) states “apabila kita melihat penerjemahan sebagai proses, berarti kita meniti jalan yang di lalui penerjemah untuk sampai pada hasil akhir.” Translation is the process to translate the activity rather than the tangible object whereas a translation is the product of the process of translating for example the translated text. Levy (in Venuti 2000:148) says, “translation is a process of communication: the objective of tarsnlating is to improve the knowledge of the original to the foreign reader.” While Hatim and Munday (2004:3) says, “the first of these two senses relates to translation as a process, the second to the product”. So a process of translation means as some activities that doing by a translator while he transferring the message from SL to TL.
Nababan (1999:24) states, “proses penerjemahan dapat diartikan sebagai serangakaian kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh seorang penerjemah pada saat dia mengalihkan amanat dari bahasa sumber ke dalam bahasa sasaran.” He adds that these are three process of translation; they are Analysis of Source Language, Transferring message, and Restructuring (1999:25).
Nida and Taber (as quoted by Widyamartaya 1989:14) also state that the process of translation can be divided into three; they are Analysis. Transfer, and Restructuring. Analysis used for knowing the message that will be translated and contain of grammatical analysis and semantic analysis. Transfer discussed “how the product of the analysis transfer from SL to TL by a little fault of meaning and connotation, but by a same reaction like in the original. Restcruturing discussed about “kinds of languages or stylistic, technique that can be use for making style that want.
Different from Nababan and Nida, Dr. Ronald H Bathge (as quoted by Widyamartaya 1989:15) state that there are seven process of translation, they are: Tuning, Analysis, Understanding, Termology, Restructuring, Checking, and Discussion.
(22)
2.1.3 Translation as a Product
After doing translation’s activity, that is process of translation, next we will see the result of translation. As the readers of translation text, it means that e read the “result” that served by translator. In the other word we read the “product” of translation. As the reader we just read the product without knowing the process that the translator has applied.
It is very important to understand the differences between product and process in translation. Nababan (1999:9) states :Product is the result of tanslator’s work”. If we see the translation (see the methods or procedures) that applied by the translator to get a good product of translation. In addition Machali (2000:9) expressed this view as follows:
“Perbedaan antara produk dan proses ini penting sekali dalam kegiatan penerjemahan. Apabila kita melihat penerjemahan sebagai proses berarti kita meneliti jalan yang dilalui penerjemah untuk sampai pada hasil akhir. Kita melihat tahap-tahap apa saja yang dilalui seorang penerjemah, prosedur apa yang dilewatinya metode apa yang di gunakan untuk menerjemahkan suatu konsep dan bukannya memilih istilah lain yang sama maknanya, dan sebagainya.”
(The differences between product and process are very important in translation. If we see the translation as a process, it means that we observe the way of translator to get a result. We see the steps that through by translator. What procedure that he used, what method that he used to translate and why did he choose that method, why he chose a certain term to translate a concept. And why he did not choose another term which has a same meaning and etc).
The writer in this thesis actually wants to see the product of translation. The writer wants to analyze the product and find out the procedures of translation used by translator. The procedures are Literal and Oblique.
2.1.4 Translation Procedures
There are many methods or procedures in translation. A procedure is the act or manner of proceeding in any action or process. In the Mequarie Dictionary (1982) as quoted by Macahli (2000:9) explains that “ a method is a ay to doing something, especially in accordance with a definite plan”. Form the explanation, we can take two
(23)
important things. First, method is the way to do something that is “the ay to doing translation”. Second, method relates to “ the certain planning that is a plan in doing translation.”
Newmark (1988:81) in A Text Book of Translation mention that there are fourteen procedures in translation. But Vinay and Darbelnet divided translation procedures into two namely Direct or Literal Translation which cover three procedures (borrowing, calque, and Literal Translation) and Oblique translation which cover four procedures (transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaption).
2.2.1 Literal Translation (Direct Translation)
Literal or direct translation procedures are used when structural and conceptual elements of the source language can be transposed into the target language. Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti 2000:84) says:
“In some translation task it may be possible to transpose the source language message element by element into the target language, because it is based on either (i) parallel categories, in which case we can speak of structural paralleslism, or (ii) on parallel concepts, which are the result of metalinguistic paralleslism”.
According to Vinay and Darbelnet, there are three procedures of Direct or Literal Translation : they are Borrowing, Calque, and Literal Translation.
2.2.1.1 Borrowing
Borrowing is usually used in terms of new technical or unknown concepts, to overcome a gap, usually a metalingunistic one. Borrowing is the simplest of all translation method. We can say that this task refers to a case where a word or an expression is taken from the SL and used in the TL, but in a ‘naturalized’ form, that is, it is made to conform to the rules of grammar or pronounciation of the TL.
Borrowing in translation si not always justified by lexical gap in the TL, but it can mainly be used as a way to preserve the local color of the word, or be used out of fear from losing some of the semiotic aspects and cultural aspects of the word if it is translated.

According to Haugen in Sari (2009:18) there are some possibilities that may occur in this procedures; first, borrowing with no change in form and meaning (pure loanwords), the second, borrowing with changes in form but without changes the meaning (mix loanwords) and the third, borrowing when part of the term is native and other part is borrowed, but the meaning is fully borrowed (loan blends).
Examples :
a. Borrowing with no change in form and meaning (pure loanwords): Hardisk hardisk
Dollar dollar
b. Borrowing with change in form but without change the meaning (mix loanwords):
Contract kontrak Computer komputer c. Loan blend
Computer network jaringan computer Broadcast network jaringan broadcast
But according to Vinay and Darbelnet, there is only one kind of Borrowing, Example : harddisk harddisk
2.2.1.2 Calque
A calque is a special kind of borrowing whereby a language borrows an expression form of another, but then translates literally each of its elements. The result can be a calque of expression, which preserves the syntatic structure of the source language while introducing a new mode of expression to the target language. It consists of phrases in direct (literal) translations of fixed expression in target language, for example French Compliments of season. The result can also be a structural calque, which introduces a whole new construction into the target language, for example science-fiction, used as such in French. Calque is loan translation (linear substituation) of morphologically analyzable source language syntagms which after a time, are often accepted, or at least tolerated by the target language community.
(25)
Examples :
Service user service user Transceiver cable kabel transceiver 2.2.1.3 Literal Translation
Literal, or word for word, translation is the direct transfer of a SL text into a grammatically and idiomatically appropriate TL text in which the translators’ task is limited to observing the adherence to the linguistic servitudes of the TL. In principle, a literal translation is unique solution in which is reversible and complete in itself. The translation has not needed to make any changes other than the obvious one, like those concerning grammatical concord or inflectional endings, for example English “where are you?” translated into French “Ou etes vous?”. This procedure is most commonly found in translations between closely related language, for example French-italian, and especially those having a similar culture. Vachon-Spilka finds that,
“Literal translation is the earliest and simplest form of translation, it occurs whenever word by word replacement is possible without breaking rules in the target language, this, however, is quite rare unless the two languages are very closely related” (1968:18)
There are other examples of literal translation. Examples :
Leafy trees pepohonan lebat Long grass rerumputan tinggi All the geese semua angsa
If, after trying the first three procedures translators regard literal translation unacceptable, they must turn to the methods of Oblique translation. By unacceptable mean that the message, when translated literally
i gives another meaning,or ii has no meaning,or
iii is structurally impossible,or
iv does not have a corresponding expression within the metalinguistic experience of the TL,or
(26)
v has a corresponding expression, but not within the same register.
2.2.2 Oblique Translation (Indirect Translation)
Oblique translation procedures are used when the structural or conceptual elements of the source language cannot be directly translated without altering meaning or upsetting the grammatical and stylistics elements of the target language. Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti 2000:84) says,
“…because of structural or metalinguistic differences, certain stylistic effects cannot be transposed into the TL without upsetting the syntatic order, or even the lexis. In this case it is understood that more complex methods haveto be used which at first may look unusual but which nevertheless can permit translator a strict control over the reabilty of their work…”
According to Vinay and Darbelnet there are four procedures of oblique, they are Transposition, Modulation, Equivalence, and Adaption.
2.2.2.1 Transposition
Transposition is the procedure which involves replacing one word class with another without changing the meaning of the message. It can also be used within a language, as when rewarding the phrase, for example ‘He announced that he would return to ‘He announced his return’ (the subordinate verb becomes a noun).
It is also change in the grammar from source language to target language (singular to plural: position of the adjective, changing the word class or part of speech). In translation, there are two types of transposition, namely obligatory transposition and optional transposition. Obligatory transposition occurs when the target language has no other choices because of the language system
Examples :
A pair of glasses sepasang kacamata Long grass rerumputan yang tinggi
An optional transposition is a transposition that, for the sake of style, can be chosen by the translator if it fits better into the utterance.

2.4.2.2 Modulation
Modulation is the varying of the language, obtained by a change in the point of view. This change can be justified, although literal even transposed. There are two types of modulation, namely free or optional is generally adopted because of nonlinguistic reason. It is mostly used to stress the meaning, to affect coherence or to find out natural from in the TL.
Examples :
By the will of the God di luar kemampuan manusia The stars went out pagi menjelang
Fixed or obligatory occurs when a word, phrase or structure cannot be found in the TL. When an active sentence is translated into a passive one, this is an instance of this type of modulation.
Examples :
I grew up in Jakarta saya dibesarkan di Jakarta
I will submit the report tomorrow morning laporan itu akan saya sampaikan besok pagi
The difference between fixed and free modulation is one of degree. In the case of fixed modulation, translators with a good knowledge of both languages and freely used this method, as they will be aware of the frequency of use, the pverall acceptable, and the confirmation provided by a dictionary or grammar of the preferred expression.
2.2.2.3 Equivalence
Equivalent is often desirable for the translator to use an entirely different structure with different meaning from that of the source language text so long as it is considered appropriate in the communicative situational equivalent to that of the source language text.
(28)
Vinay and Darbelnet use this term to refer to cases where languages described the same situation by different stylistic or structural means. The classical example of equivalence is given by reaction of an amateur who accidentally hits his finger with hammer; if he were French his cry of pain would be transcribed as, “die.!” But he were English this would be interpreted as, “ouch!”. Another striking case ofequivalences are the much onomatopoeia of animal sounds.
Examples :
Cocorico cock-a-doodle-do Miaou miaow
Hi han hee haw
2.2.2.4 Adaptation
Adaption is the extreme limit of translation which is used in cases the translator has to create a ne situation that can be considered equivalent.
Example :
Cricket (UK) baseball (US)
This involves changing the culture reference when a situation in source culture does not exist in target culture. The concept of loss and gain is proposed by Nida (1975:102) and he said, a translator should have good knowledge of the languages of the cultures of both languages. The linguistic knowledge that should be mastered includes morphology, lexis, syntax, and semantics, while cultural knowledge should be sufficiently possessed as the background of the user of these languages. As a matter of fact, it is very difficult to find lexical equivalents between TL culture and SL culture since they are different from one another. The lexical meaning of the two languages will not exatly be the same. There tends to be loss, gain and skewing of information.
Nida (1975:102) also says “we reject meaning as a common denominator or what is common to all situations in which a term is employed.” This is necessary because two languages (SLT and TLT) have different characteristics. In transferring the message from SL to TL, the translator should add or omit some the information in order to have natural translation and the naturalness of the translated work can be realized if the Target Language Text is read and the readers feel that it is not like translated text. This
(29)
definition expresses the idea that if we want to have the meaning of words or phrase, it must be in the context of sentence. An example is insentence like this: “The man who had pressed the remote control device’ and the translator translates it into ‘Lelaki yang baru saja menekan tombol alat kontrol jarak jauh.” In this case the translator necessary gives addition of information in translating the underlined nominal group construction by the word tombol which is not stated in the SL.
Examples:
You Ibu
Peeakboo Cilukba Hide and seek petak umpet
Some of the source language data do not have exact equivalents in the target language because of the different cultural backgrounds between the source language nd target language. Therefore, not at all of the source language terms can be translated into the target language if the source language terms are considered as not having the equivalents, for example English borrowing word “orang utan” is form Bahasa Indonesian.
Besides finding the closest equivalent of translation, it is often necessary to translate one word of the SL into several words in the TL translated by single word. What is important in translation is translating the concept within the word through the semantic components of the SL. The message of the SL should be carried into the TL naturally.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This thesis deals use four main research items, the first is research design, the second is data and data source, the third is data collecting method and the fourth is data analyzing method. Research method is as scientific way to get the data with purpose and certain use. Research method consists of qualitive method and quantitative method, which both of them has a different meaning.
3.1. Research Design
This thesis is conducted in the form of the library research in which the data is in the form of English and Indonesia language. Bungin in Metodologi Penelitian Sosial (2001:32) states, “penelitian kepustakaan adalah penelitian yang di lakukan di perpustakaan dan peneliti berhadapan dengan berbagai macam literature sesuai tujuan dan masalah yang sedang di pertanyakan” (Library research is a research that is done in library where a researcher faces many kinds of literatures that is suitable with the objective and problem of the analysis).
3.2. Data and Data Source
Data is everything found about the object of the analysis. For this case, the writer uses primary data or in Indonesia language, we call it as Data Primer. Bungin in Metodologi Peneletian Sosial (2001:128) states, “Data primer adalah data yang di ambil dari sumber data primer atau sumber data yang yutama di lapangan.” (primary data is a data that is taken from primary data resource, orprimary data resource in field of research).
The sources of data is the tale teller’s book that are written in two languages, English and Bahasa Indonesia. Every sentence in the tale teller’s book become the data. The titles of the book is The Grouchy Giant. The TL text is observed to find out whether the Literal and Oblique translation procedures are applied or not. Besides that, the writer also collects some books which are related to translation especially Vinay and Darbelnet’s theory of translation procedures.
(31)
3.3 Data Collecting Method
The data that are considered to be relevant for this study are collected by using technique of sampling. Purposive sampling is used to collect the required data. Bailey (1987:94) also cites:
“In purposive sampling the investigator does not necessarily have a quota to fill from within various strata, as in quota sampling, but neither does ge or she just pick the nearest warm bodies, as in convenience sampling. Rather, the researcher uses his or her on judgement about which respondents to choose and picks only those who best meet the purposes of the study.”
In addition Arikunto (2006:139) says, “Sampel bertujuan atau purposive sample dilakukan dengan cara mengambil subjek bukan didasarkan atas strata, random atau daerah tetapi didasarkan atas adanya tujuan tertentu. Teknik ini biasanya dilakukan karena beberapa pertimbangan, misalnya alasan keterbatasan waktu, tenaga, dan Dana sehingga tidak dapat mengambil sample yang besar dan jauh” (purpose of sample or purposive sample is done by taking a subject not based on strata, random or area, but is based on a certain purpose. This technique is usually done because of some considerations, for example the limitation of time, energy, and find, so it cannot take a great and far sample).
4. Data Analyzing Method
In analyzing the data in this thesis, the writer uses the descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research is more descriptive because the data shaped of words and more emphasize on process more than product.
As quoted from Bungin’s book, “Penelitian kualitatif adalah penelitian yang dilakukan dengan keterbatasan sasaran penelitian, tetapi kedalaman data/kualitas data tidak terbatas. Semakin berkualitas data yang dikumpulkan, semakin berkualitas penelitian tersebut” (qualitative research is a research that is done with a limitation of target research, but the deep of data/quality of data unlimited. More quality the data is collected more quality that research).
The data is analyzed in three steps. First, the writer tabulated all of the data. Second, the writer tabulated all of the data consisting of literal and oblique translation
(32)
procedures. Third, the writer classified the kinds of literal and oblique translation procedures and finally characterized the literal and oblique translation procedures.
The classification is done by grouping the data depending on the problem. The purpose of the tabulation here is to classify the literal and oblique translation procedures. This analysis is done by finding the literal and oblique translation, classifications and characterization through the context of both SL and TL. After classifying the procedures found in the data, the writer will make a percentage by using Bungin’s Formula :
N = f / N x 100% With : f = the frekuensi
N = the total of frekuensi
Descriptive research consists of explaining the variable examined, by giving the definition, complex explanation from another reference, so that something that is searched is more completed and directed.
The systematic procedures in conducting the analysis are as follows: 1. collecting the data from three fable books
2. reading the data 3. identifying the data
4. analyzing the data and find out the literal and oblique translation procedures
5. classifying and characterizing the data 6. drawing the conclusion and suggestion
From the way above, the writer tries to analyze the data to find out the literal and oblique translation procedures. After that the writer draws tables for making classification of each literal and oblique translation procedures (literal translation, borrowing, calque, modulation, transposition, equivalence, and adaption).
(33)
CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
4.1 Data Analysis
Based on the data that have been collected from the tale teller book, then the writer gives the analysis of the data. In analyzing the data, the writer gives the cases (procedures of translation) and the analysis that is taken from the data. In this part, the writer describes it by using the table. The table consists of six columns; they are number, Book/data, Source Language, Target Language.
Table of number (No) consist of the sequences of the cases (procedures of translation) that will be found from the data. In table of Book/data consists of the sequence of the data that is taken from the tale teller book (source of data).
In table of Source Language, the writer shows the data that is taken from the three fable books and the table of Target Language, the writer also shos the data that is taken from the three fable books. Each of the data is found by writer as the proedures is typed un italic and bolded. In table of Cases, the writer shows the name of procedures that is found from the data. And then, in the last table, the writer gives the description of each procedure that is fund from the data.
Although in the next page, the writer also gives clearer explanation by giving classification of each procedure that is found in the data. The writer also gives the explanation and the percentage of each procedure.
4.1.1 Literal Translation
Literal, or word for word, translation is the direct transfer of a SL text into a grammatically and idiomatically appropriate TL text in which the translators’ task is limited to observing the adherence to the linguistic servitudes of the TL. In principle, a literal translation is unique solution in which is reversible and complete in itself.
This translation has not needed to make any changes other than the obvious one. This procedure is most commonly found in translations between closely related language and sepecially those having a similar culture. Literal or word for word translation may
(34)
occur when there is a similarity of structure between two languages, so this word for word translation is happened and directly approved in the TL.
Examples : No. No.

Other examples of Literal Translation can be seeing in the table above. From the table above, the writer found that there are 56 cases of Literal Translation with the percentage below :
f/N x 100% with : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency LT = literal translation Percentage of LT = f/N x 100%
= 58/165 x 100% = 35,1 %
Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti 2000:84) says that :
“...because of structural or metalinguistic differences, certain stylistic effects cannot be transposed into the TL without upsetting the syntatic order,m or even the lexis. In this case it is understood that more complex methods have to be used which at first
(35)
may look unusual but which nevertheless can permit translator a strict control over the reabilty of their work..”
4.1.2 Transposition
Transposition is the procedure which involves replacing one word class with another without changing the meaning of the message. In translation, there are two types of transposition, namely obligatory transposition and optional transposition. Obligatory transposition occurs when the target language has no other choices because of the language system.
The writer found both of them in the data. Obligatory transposition occurs the target language has no other choices because of the language system and there is no grammatical structure of SL found in TL.
Examples : No. No.

SOURCE TEXT TARGET TEXT
1. I/2 No worries,no fears Tidak ada kekhawatiran, tidak ada ketakutan.
2. I/6 “I caught me a cuddly little lamb
“Aku menangkap seekor domba kecil yang lucu
3. I/8 No more lions and bears! When the dust settled only one hero was left standing-my brave shepherd, David.
Tidak ada lagi singa dan beruang! Saat debu tidak ada lagi berterbangan, hanya ada satu pahlawan yang masih ada-gembalaku yang berani, David. 4. I/24 He had raced to a nearby
stream and collected his weapons-five smooth stones!
Ia berlari ke sungai di dekat sana dan mengumpulkan senjatanya-lima batu yang licin!
From the table above, the writer found that there are 17 cases of obligatory transposition with the percentage below:
f/N x 100% With : f = the frequency
(36)
N = total of frequency
OblT = obligatory translation Percentage of OblT = f/N x 100%
= 15/165 x 100 % = 9,09 %
An optional transposition is a transposition, that for the sake of style, can be choosen by translator if it fits better into the utterance or if there is an expression in the SL can be translate Literally but the meaning in the TL feels clumsy. From the data above, the writer found that there are 6 cases of optional transposition with the percentage below:
f/N x 100% With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency
OplT = obligatory translation Percentage of OblT = f/N x 100%
= 6/165 x 100 % = 3,6%
The total of Transposition Procedure is 9,09% + 3,6% = 12,69 %
4.1.3 Modulation
Modulation is the varying of the language, obtained by a change in the point of view. This change can be justified, although literal even transposed. There are two types of modulation, namely free or optional is generally adopted because of nonlinguistic reason. It is mostly used to stress the meaning, to affect coherence or to find out natural from in the TL.
Example : No. No. Data

2, I/6 “Well,well, what have we here? Why, it is a little lost lamb who’s tangled up in a mess.
“Wah,wah,liat ini. Ada seekor domba kecil yang tersesat dan terperangkap.
3. I/24 “What’s that boy up to?” Frontier asked
“apa yang akan dilakukan anak itu?” Tanya Frontier
4, I/24 He’d see Ia akan tahu nanti
From the data above, the writer found that there are 66 cases of free modulation with the percentage below :
f/N x 100% With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency FrM = free modulation Percentage pf Frm = f/N x 100%
= 69/165 x 100% = 41,8%
Fixed Modulation is occurs when a word, phrase or structure cannot be found in the TL. From the data above, the riter found that there are3 cases of fixed modulation with the percentage below :
f/N x 100% With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency FixM = free modulation Percentage pf Fixm = f/N x 100%
= 3/165 x 100% = 1,8%
The total of Modulation Procedure is 40% + 1,8% = 41,8%
4.1.4 Equivalent
Equivalent is often desirable for the translator to use an entirely different structure with different meaning from that of the source language text so long as it is considered
(38)
appropriate in the communicative situational equivalent to that of the source language text.
The writer found 11 cases of Equivalence where languages describes the same situation by different stylistic or structural means. In the data above, the writer found the classical example of equivalence.
Examples :
No. No. Data SOURCE TEXT TARGET TEXT
1. I/4 He quietly sneaked up on us… and pounced!”Baa! Baa!” we all shouted.

Wah! Ia raksasa yang amat besar! Tingginya lebih dari Sembilan kaki
From the data above, the writer found 11 cases of equivalence with the percentage below :
f/N x 100% With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency E = Equivalence Percentage pf E = f/N x 100%
= 11/165 x 100% = 6,67%
4.1.5 Adaptation
Adaption is the extreme limit of translation which is used in cases the translator has to create a ne situation that can be considered equivalent. The writer found that the translation with Adaption Procedure is focusing on the culture in TL, in this case the
(39)
translator has to create a new situation that can be considered equivalent, and the translator should have good knowledge of the languages of the ultures of both languages. Example :
No. No. Data

4. I/10 Jesse had a special job for his son

From the data, the writer found 6 cases of Adaption with the percentage below : f/N x 100%
With : f = the frequency N = total of frequency A = Adaption
Percentage of A= f/N x 100% = 6/165 x 100% = 3,63%
4.2 Classification of Translation Procedures Found in the Tale Teller Book
After analyzing the data, the writer will classify the data. The data will be classified into Literal Translation and Oblique Translation. As proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet that Literal Translation consists of three procedures; they are borrowing, calque, and literal translation while Oblique Translation consists of four procedures; they are transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaption.
(40)
4.2.1 Literal Translation
Literal or direct translation procedures are used when structural and conceptual elements of the source language can be transposed into the target language. Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti 2000:84) says,
“In more translation task it may be possible to transpose the source language message element by element into the target language, because it is based on either (i) parallel categories, in which case can speak of structural parallesism, or (ii) in parallel concepts, which are the result of metaliguistic parallelism”
According the Vinay and Darbelnet, there are three pocedures of Direct or Literal Translation; they are borrowing, calque, and literal translation. After analyzing the data from the tale teller book, the writer only found one procedure in Literal Translation, it is literal translation procedure. While the two translation procedures (Borrowing and Calque) doesn’t found in the data.
4.2.1.1 Literal Translation
These following tables show the data which is classified into literal translation where the text in source language is translated word for word into target language by adopting target language structure and the SL transfer directly to the TL grammatical.

Summary of the story
The Israelite army is battling the evil Philistine army. David’s father, Jesse, sends him to take food to his brothers who are fighting on the Israelite side. But trouble’s brewing- that big brute Goliath is challenging the Israelites to a fight. No one will take the challenge-he’s nine feet tall!
Cassie, a spunky little lamb, is determined to watch the battle. When she realizes that her shepherd, David, is going to fight Goliath, she’s proud. She’s seen him fight lions and bears, and she knows how brave David is. But those Philistines have something to learn about appearances. Even though David isn’t as big and bad as Goliath, with God’s help he claims victory for the Israelite army.
