Data Collection Method of the Study
Next, to answer the second problem, the writer analyzed the data once again and distributed some questionnaires to find out the acceptability of the subtitle from
the audience. These questionnaires were used to assess the acceptabilityof expressions of irritationin the subtitle. The respondents were asked to give a check
to the acceptable and not-acceptable column.Based on the theory of acceptable in the chapter 2, it can be said that the translation is acceptable if the translation text is
not in contradiction with the TL culture and the TL audience can understand the translation. The audience‟s understanding can be seen from two factors. The text is
normally used in everyday language and the audience can get the same message as what is inferred in the source language text.
In short, it can be formulated that the subtitle is acceptable if the subtitle can be accepted in the TL culture, the words used in the TL is commonly used in
everyday language, the subtitle is understandable, and the subtitle will not produce different perception with the SL text. It is done by interviewing the respondent and
ask them to infer the meaning from the utterances in the subtitle, so the researcher can see whether or not the perception received by the TL audience is the same as what is
proposed in the source language.The table of acceptability indicator formulated by the researcher is shown below:
Table 4.The Indicator of Acceptability
Category THE INDICATOR OF ACCEPTABILITY
Acceptable The TL text can be accepted in TL culture, understandable, do not
arouse a question in audience‟s mind andor produce different perception with the SL text. So, the TL text gives the same responds to
the audience.
Not Acceptable
The TL text can not be accepted in TL culture, not understandable, andor arouse a question
in audience‟s mind. So, the TL text gives different responds or understanding to the audience.
The third problem is about the relation of the equivalence and the acceptability of the subtitle. This problem is done by seeing the result of the analysis
of the equivalence and acceptability. The conclusion of both analyses would be the answer of the third problem formulation.
