The degree of meaning equivalence is divided into two; equivalent and non-equivalent. The equivalent meaning is consists of a fully equivalence
and partly equivalence and non-equivalent meaning are no meaning and no equivalence. In partly equivalence is divided into increased meaning and
decreased meaning. Increased meaning happens when the translator adds information in the target language TL which is not found in the source
language SL. Decreased meaning means that the translator omits some information that found in the source language SL text so the information
content in the TL decreases. The researcher uses degree of meaning to measure the meaning quality of the realizations after the strategies are
applied in the target language.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Type of Research
This research is descriptive qualitative research. It does not deal with testing of a theory or hypothesis, but it deals with understanding of theory
Hadi, 2001:23. Based on Wiersma 1995:217 there are some characteristic of qualitative research. First, the research should be conducted in the natural
setting so it needs a holistic interpretation. The second is that qualitative research emphasizes on narrative description and interpretation. Third, the
study has a theory that is grounded in the data. The fourth, it tends to analyze the data inductively, and the last is that the purpose is to understand the social
phenomena. It is the study in which the researcher needs to collect and analyze data to get conclusion. This researcher is concerned with providing a
description of phenomena which occurs naturally without intervention.
B. Sources and Data
According to Wuardji in Praopo 2001:3, a research should be done systematically; having valid, reliable, and objective results; and should be
supported by data empirically. Memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia and the
Department of Business, Innovation and Skills on behalf of the Government and Devolved Administrations of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
