Abstract
This study aims to (1) find out the morphemic shifts found in Collen Mc Cullough„s novel The Thorn Birds and its translation Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murthihardjana (2) analyze the morphemic shifts in the English – Bahasa Indonesia translation of the novel and (3) investigate the most dominant morphemic shifts used in the novel. This study uses a descriptive qualitative with data collection on written documents from Colleen Mc Cullough‟s novel The Thorn Birds and its translation Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murtihardjana. The data will be taken by using purposive sampling. The results of this study are there are two morphemic shifts in translation of The Thorn Bird. They are the morphemic shifts from morpheme into word and the morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase. The Morphemic shifts from morpheme into word are dis (5), un (9), in (1), im (4), re (6) , -ly (6), ing- (14), less- (12), -er (14), -est (5), -s (13), -ful (11), „s (5), -hood (4), ed (8), -ness (8), in-….-able (2), in-…-ible (3), un-…-able (3), un-…-ed (12), dis-…ed (4), un-….-ing (2), re-…-ed (5) with the total of 156 shifts (85 %). While the Morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase are un- (4), in- (1), less (5), -est (1), er (1), -ful (1), in-…-able (2), in-…-ible (2), un-…-ing (2), un-…..-able (3), un….ed (5), dis-…-ed (1) with the total of 28 shifts (15 %). In short, it can be seen that the morphemic shifts from morpheme into word is in the total of 156 shifts (85 %). Then the morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase are in the total of 28 shifts (15 %).
Keywords: Translation, Morphemic Shifts

INTRODUCTION
Translation is basically a change of form (Larson, 1984:3). The form refers to the actual words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, etc which are spoken and written. It consists of transferring the meaning of the source language into target language and reproducing a source language message into target language. The process of translation is done by studying the lexicon, grammatical structure, communication situation, and cultural context of source language text, analyzing it and then reconstructing the meaning using the lexicon and grammatical structure of target language context in order to produce a good translation (Larson, 1984:1). A translation is considered good when it arouses in the same effect, as did the original (Zilahy in House, 1977:8). Of course, it is not easy for a translator to do this, because every language has its own rule that may not affect for another language. For example, English and Bahasa Indonesia have the different rules in linguistics units; one of them is in forming words especially the use of morphemes.

Morpheme is the smallest meaningful element into which words can be analyzed (Sibarani, 2001:22). For example, the word prejudge can be divided into minimal elements where each has meaning such as pre- and judge. Bahasa Indonesia has also morphemes. Morfem adalah satuan bahasa terkecil yang mengandung makna. For example, the word diperjualbelikan can be divided into the smallest meaningful unit is jual, beli, and di- +….-kan.
There are no two identical languages, either in meaning or in structure (Nida in Venuti, 2000:126). This fact causes some difficulties for a translator to find the equivalence in TL. The equivalence is taken to be the basis on which source language (SL) textual material is replaced by target language (TL) textual material (Catford in Hatim, 2000:14). Therefore, to produce a good translation, a translator should be able to do adjustments either in meaning or in structure to keep the meaning constant so that the messages can be conveyed naturally and communicatively. One of the possible ways is by making shifts. As Catford (1965:80) says, ―Shift is needed to produce natural translation and establish translation equivalence between SL and TL which usually occurs in the unit of grammar, class, structure, and system‖.
Shifts are firstly proposed by J.C Catford. A shift is a translation procedure involving the change in the grammar from SL to TL (Newmark, 1988:85). Shifts can be classified into level and category shifts. Level shift occurs when an SL item has a TL translation equivalent at a different linguistic level from its own (grammatical, lexical, etc). For example, the English word girl can be translated into a phrase anak perempuan in Bahasa Indonesia. Category shift refers to a strict rank-for-rank correspondence between SL and TL sentences, clauses, groups, words and morphemes is not observed. It involves four categories of class, structure, system and unit. For example, the adjective in medical student becomes an adverbial phrase in French equivalent student in medicine (Catford in Hatim, 2000:15).

This study discusses about morphemic shifts. From the explanation of shifts above, it can be concluded that morphemic shift belongs to level shift that involve the change from SL to TL at a different linguistic level from its own (grammatical, lexical, etc). In the translation, level shift can also be realized through category shift. As Hatim (2000:16) says ―A translation through level shift could on a different occasion or by a different translator, be achieved through category shift‖. For example, the morpheme unin the word unable is translated into a word tidak. It means that there is morphemic shift from morpheme to word. And the morpheme -un in the word unspoken can be translated into a phrase yang tidak diucapkan. This means that there is morphemic shift from morpheme to phrase. This study uses novel as the data source, because novel is one of literary works in which shifts are commonly used; one of them is morphemic shifts. The problems of this study are to find out the morphemic shifts found in Collen Mc Cullough‗s novel The Thorn Birds and its translation Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murthihardjana; to analyze the morphemic shifts in the English – Bahasa Indonesia translation of the novel; and to investigate the most dominant morphemic shifts used in the novel.

Translation Theories
The term translation itself has several meaning. It can refer to the general subject field, the product (the text that has been translated) or the process (the act of producing the translation, otherwise known as translating) (Munday, 2004:5). It means that translation refers to the general subject, product and the process. Translation is to reproduce a source language message in the receptor language in both receptor (of the original message) and source (of the new message) (House, 1977:1). It means that translation is to reproduce a source language message into receptor language (the original message of source language). While Newmark stated that Translation is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author intended the text. It means that in translation the meaning of a text should be same with what the author‘s intend
Translation consists of reproducing in the receptor language (RL) the closest natural equivalent of the source language (SL) message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style (Nida and Taber in Venuti, 1999:12). It means that in reproducing the message in translation there should be natural equivalent in terms of meaning and style between SL to RL. Translation is the result of a text-processing activity, by means of which a source language text is transposed into a target language text (Koller in Hatim, 2000:27). It means between the resultant text in L2 (the target language text) and the source text in L1 (the source language text), there is a relationship which can be designed as a translational or equivalence relation.
From the definitions above, it can be concluded that translation refers to the general subject, product and the process of reproducing the source language information or message into target language (the original information or message) which the information or message should be equivalent with what the author‘s intend.
The Shifts in Translation
A translator will always attempt to reproduce the messages of SL into TL (the original message of SL). In doing this, a translator not only studies and analyzes the form of SL, but also reconstructs the meaning of SL using the form that appropriate in target language in order to produce a good translation (Larson, 1984:1). A translation is considered good when it arouses in the same effect as did the original (Zilahy in House, 1977:8). Of course, it is not easy to do this, because every language has its own rule that may not affect for another language. This fact causes some difficulties for a translator to find the same equivalent and the exact structure (form) in TL. Therefore, in translation a translator should be able to do adjustments either in meaning or structure to keep the meaning constant so that the messages can be conveyed naturally and communicatively. One of the possible ways is by making shifts. As Catford (1965:80) says ―Shift is needed to produce natural translation and establish translation equivalence between SL and TL which usually occurs in the unit of grammar, class, structure, and system‖.
Shifts are defined in terms of departures from formal correspondence in the process of going from the SL to the TL (Catford, 1965:73). Shift can also be called as transference that means a translation procedure involving the change in grammar from SL to TL (Newmark, 1988:85). It means shift is a translation strategy that involves a grammatical change from SL to TL. The phenomenon of shifts should be redefined positively as the consequence of the translator's effort to establish translation equivalence (TE) between two different language-systems: that of the SL and that of the TL.

Juliana
In this sense, shifts can be defined as problem-solving strategies adopted consciously to minimize the inevitable loss of meaning when rendering a text from one language into another.
Catford proposes two main types of shifts; they are level and category shifts (Catford in Hatim, 2000:15). Firstly, level shift occurs when an SL item has a TL translation equivalent at a different linguistic level from its own (grammatical, lexical, etc). For example, source text word play achieved at the phonological level may be translated by exploiting the possibilities of the lexical level in the target language. In short, in level shifts the SL word at one linguistic level may be translated at a different level in the TL, it might occur in grammatical, lexical, etc.
Secondly, Category Shift. Category shift is a generic term referring to shifts involving any of the four categories of class, structure, system, and unit. For example, ST adjectival phrase is translated into an advervial phrase in TT. In short, category shift may involve class, structure, system and unit shifts. Class shift occurs when an SL item is translated by means of a TL items belongs to a different grammatical class. For example, the adjective in medical student is translated into an advervial phrase student in medicine in French. It means that there is a change in grammatical class from adjective to advervial phrase. While Structure shift involves a change in grammatical structure between ST and target text TT. For example, Jhon loves Mary is translated into is love at Jhon on Mary in Gaelic. It means that there is a change in a grammatical structure. Unit shift may occur when a strict rank for rank correspondence between SL and TL sentences, clauses groups, words, and morphemes is not observed. For example, the word girl is translated into a phrase anak perempuan. While intra-system shift occurs within a system when translation involves selection of a non-corresponding term in the TL systems when approximately correspond formally. For example, a pair of trousers is translated into sebuah celana.
METHODOLOGY
Data dan Data Source

The data source of this study is written text, which are taken from one of the International best selling novels written by Colleen Mc Cullough, under the title The Thorn Birds in 1977. This novel consists of 7 chapters and 591 pages. While its translation BurungBurung Semak Berduri translated by Lanny Murtihardjana in 2007. It consists of 7 chapters and 685 pages. The data of this study is words that has morphemes and used in Colleen Mc Cullough‘s novel The Thorn Birds and its translation Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murtihardjana.
Data Collection Method
Dede Oetomo (in Suyanto, 1995:186) says ―There are three methods of collecting data such as interview, observation, and analysis on written documents such as quotation, notes, memorandum, publications, and official reports, diaries, and written answer to questioner and survey‖.Since the data of this analysis are collected from Colleen Mc Cullough‘s novel The Thorn Birds and also from the translation of this novel into Bahasa

Indonesia Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murtihardjana, so the method of collecting the data is the written documents.
The data will be taken by using purposive sampling. It means that I take only the samples of which are concerned with the purpose of this study. The novel consists of 7 chapters and 591 pages. The translated novel itself consists of 7 chapters and 685 pages. The data to be analyzed will be taken purposively. It can be 10, 20, 30, from each of morphemic shifts from morpheme to word and shifts from morpheme to phrase. Each sample has already been on the homogeny data.
Data Analysis Method
In this thesis, I apply qualitative method to analyze data. Qualitative method is applied by describing or explaining the data from Colleen Mc Cullough‘s novel The Thorn Birds translated into Burung Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murtihardjana. Qualitative method means an analysis which uses some instruments for collecting the data.
To find the most dominant of morphemic shifts is used in the novel, so I use Bungin‘s formula. The following formula is:
N = X x 100%
Y
Where, X = the number of each morphemic shift found in the novel
Y = the total number of all morphemic shifts
N = Percentage of morphemic shift
The systematic procedures in conducting the analysis are as follow: 1. Reading the original novel (SL) and its translation (TL) repeatedly. 2. Identifying and selecting morphemes from the original novel (SL) and its
translation (TL). 3. Categorizing and underlining the morphemic shift from the original novel (SL)
and its translation (TL). 4. Analyzing the morphemic shifts by using J. C Catford‘s theory in Basil Hatim‘s
book 5. Calculating the morphemic shifts 6. Drawing the tables which show the most dominant of morphemic shifts used in

the novel. 7. Making some conclusions based on the result of analysis

The frequency of all morphemic shifts occurs in the translation of The Thorn Birds:
a. The percentage of morphemic shifts from morpheme into word is:
N = 156 x 100% = 85 %
184
b. The percentage of morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase is:
N = 28 x 100% = 15 %
184
CONCLUSIONS
After analyzing the data from the novel of Colleen Mc Cullough The Thorn Birds and its translation Burung-Burung Semak Berduri by Lanny Murtihardjana, it can be concluded that:
Firstly, the best translation is the translation that uses the natural language forms of the receptor language, communicates as much as possible to the receptor language speakers and has the same meaning that is understood with the speakers of the source language. Besides, it also must maintain the dynamics of the original source language text. Maintaining the ―dynamics‖ of the original source text means that translation is presented in such a way that it will hopefully, evoke the same response as the source text attempted to evoke.
Secondly, to find the same equivalent and the exact structure (form) between the two different of language systems is the difficult thing in translation. Therefore, a translator should be able to do adjustments either in meaning or structure to keep the meaning constant so that the messages can be conveyed naturally and communicatively. One of the possible ways is by making shifts. As Catford (1965:80) says ―Shift is needed to produce natural translation and establish translation equivalence between SL and TL‖.
Thirdly, there are two morphemic shifts in translatrion of The Thorn Bird. They are the morphemic shifts from morpheme into word such as dis-, un-, in-, im, re-, -ly, ing-, less-, -er, -est, -s, -ful, -„s, -hood, -ed, -ness, in-…-able, in-…-ible, un-…-able, un-….-ly, un-…-ed, dis-…-ed, un-….-ing, re-…-ed.and the morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase such as dis-, un-, mis-, in, -less, -est, -er, -ful, in-….-able, in-…-ible, un-…-able, un-….-ly, un-…-ed, , dis-…-ed, un-..-ing. The Morphemic shifts from morpheme into word occur in dis (5), un (9), in (1), im (4), re (6) , -ly (6), ing- (14), less- (12), -er (14), est (5), -s (13), -ful (11), ‗s (5), -hood (4), -ed (8), -ness (8), in-….-able (2), in-…-ible (3), un-…-able (3), un-…-ed (12), dis-…-ed (4), un-….-ing (2), re-…-ed (5) with the total of 156 shifts (85 %). While The Morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase occur in un- (4), in- (1), less (5), -est (1), -er (1), -ful (1), in-…-able (2), in-…-ible (2), un-…-ing (2), un-…..-able (3), un-….ed (5), dis-…-ed (1) with the total of 28 shifts (15 %). In short, it can be seen that the morphemic shifts from morpheme into word is in the total of 156 shifts (85 %). Then the morphemic shifts from morpheme into phrase are in the total of 28 shifts (15 %).
