C. Theoretical Framework
The definition of translation and the definition of idiomatic expressions according to Baker are applied as the basic understanding to the topic being
discussed in this study. In this analysis, there are two problem formulations that will become the main discussion. The first question is how equivalent is the
Indonesian translation of English idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s
Diary of a Wimpy Kids: The Last Straw
in terms of figurative and non-figurative sense and the second question is what translation strategies are used in translating the
English idiomatic expressions into bahasa Indonesia in Kinney’s
Diary of a Wimpy Kids: The Last Straw
. The theory of equivalence by Larson is used to answer the first question while the theory of translation strategy by Baker is used
to answer the second question. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
