Literal Translation Data Analysis

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, Bookdata, 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 Bookdata 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.

From the table above, the writer found that there are 56 cases of Literal Translation with the percentage below : fN x 100 with : f = the frequency N = total of frequency LT = literal translation Percentage of LT = fN x 100 = 58165 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 Universitas Sumatera Utara may look unusual but which nevertheless can permit translator a strict control over the reabilty of their work..”
