translation,
Harry Potter dan Relikui Kematian

technique of adjustment in its translation. Furthermore, the data of this research are the exclamatory sentences that
experience technique of adjustment in terms of addition, subtraction and alteration.
3.3. Sample and Sampling Technique
According to Lexy Moleong, in qualitative inquiry, sampling is gathering information as many as possible from various sources and construction 2002, p:

, both from the original script of the novel and their translation in Indonesia.
2. The data gathered are, then, sorted out to find those that are compatible with

4. The researcher analyzes the data obtained.
5. The results of the translation are then compared to their original message to
know the influence of technique of adjustment. 6.
The researcher counts the frequency-distribution of the data based on their classification.
7. Finally, the results of the analysis are used to draw conclusion to answer the
problems proposed.

The procedures of collecting data in this research are as follows: 1.
The researcher reads the whole story of
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
and its translation,
Harry Potter dan Relikui Kematian.
2. The researcher is taking the data from the data source, namely, exclamatory
sentences and their translation in Indonesian. 3.
The researcher identifies the exclamatory sentences that experience adjustment in their translation, whether it is in terms of addition, subtraction or
alteration, based on the grammatical and structural characteristics. 4.
The researcher makes data coding in order to make an easy classification of data, as follows:
a. A datum with codes of 001HPaTDH-031 means that it is the first datum
taken from the original book,
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
, on page 31.
b. A datum with codes of 002HPdRK-036 means that it is the first datum
taken from the translated book,
Harry Potter dan Relikui Kematian
, on page 36.
c. Additional data coding are also made to clarify such technique that has
been applied and its purpose, as follows: Add
: Technique of adjustment in terms of addition. Sub
: Technique of adjustment in terms of subtraction. Alt
: Technique of adjustment in terms of alteration. Alt+Add : Technique of adjustment in terms of alteration and addition.
Alt+Sub : Technique of adjustment in terms of alteration and subtraction.

Struc : The purpose of using such technique in order to permit
adjustment of the form of the message to the requirements of the structure of the receptor language.
Sem : The purpose of using such technique in order to produce
semantically equivalent structure. Sty
: The purpose of using such technique in order to provide equivalent stylistic appropriateness.
Comm : The purpose of using such technique in order to carry an
equivalent communication load. 5.
The researcher uses two methods in collecting the data, namely, content analysis and questionnaire. In the first method, content analysis, the researcher
collects the data from the source of data, i.e. exclamatory sentences that experience technique of adjustment. In the second method, the researcher uses
a close and open-ended questionnaire. The raters, who have to complete the questionnaire to rate the accuracy and acceptability of the translation, should
give mark or score of the accuracy and acceptability of the translation and then they might give their comments related to the translation.
